Chapter 519 Beast Blood Boiling
To be honest, no trace of the assassin has been found so far in the entire Undercity mission attack.
The collapse of the second floor roof in the alleyway area could not possibly have been a coincidence...
High Overlord Saurfang was indeed unable to find any trace of the culprit. His instinctive judgment was that someone must have been assisting in the attack on the mission, most likely among the bystanders nearby.
His primary task was to escort the delegation into Thrall's fortress to complete the meeting between the two sides.
I don't have time to pay attention to what's happening behind me right now.
There will naturally be other people in Orgrimmar to clean up the mess for him.
......
Unexpectedly, just after High Overlord Saurfang, the guardian god of Orgrimmar, left, an unexpected incident occurred among the crowd.
A beastman merchant named Gru suddenly went berserk, transforming into a red giant with immense physical strength and impaired mind... Countless powerful beastman soldiers were no match for Gru, and the ground around him trembled as he transformed...
Lorraine and Lilith were not far from the guy, and when the accident happened, Lilith and Lorraine were already tied with ropes.
There were other unfortunate souls around them. Near Gru, an innocent man who was originally waiting to be chained together was knocked down along with the orc soldiers. Lorraine glanced over and saw that the man's head had been smashed into his neck; he was clearly beyond saving.
Gru's power was terrifying, yet he attacked everything around him indiscriminately, like a wild beast.
Bound and unable to move, Lorraine and the others could only huddle against the wall... They couldn't even hide; several of the suspects tied to the ropes were already dead, reduced to unrecognizable heaps of flesh...
"A demonic orc! It has drunk demon blood!"
"This isn't a demon orc, it's a berserker orc... I've seen it in the Legion; it must have been modified by the Legion. I never imagined there were orcs drinking demon blood hiding in Orgrimmar. This is too dangerous."
.....
"The green-skinned orcs are all corrupted... they all have demon blood in them. They are monsters! They are spies..."
“You’re talking nonsense! The Great Chieftain is green too, the greenest of all… I’m green too. I was born in the Great Beast Den. I’m loyal to the Great Chieftain, loyal to the Horde, loyal to my people. I have the blood of honor flowing in my veins… I’m willing to give everything for my people and the Horde. I won’t allow you to slander the Great Chieftain!”
......
"Green is fel energy! I've seen the power of fel energy. The Warchief forbids its use, but some of us have been secretly researching it. I know they're in the Shadow Rift, and they've been doing it all along!"
"It's Gul'dan! It must be Gul'dan back... He can turn us into slaves, it's him, it must be the Shadow Council! The warlocks of the Shadow Council are back..."
"The green orcs, the people of the Fireblade Clan are all green, they are the enemy!"
......
"Step back, everyone step back! Everyone shut up until we subdue it! Anyone who talks nonsense and creates panic, cut out its stinking tongue!"
The Blood Guard squad leader, tasked with apprehending the suspect, quickly organized his men to stop the enraged Gru...
To calm the panicked crowd.
The orc soldiers swarmed forward, naturally blocking the crowd behind them and surrounding Gru alone...
Several soldiers were seriously wounded, and many innocent people were crushed to death. Fortunately, there were a large number of orc soldiers in Orgrimmar... One berserker orc couldn't cause much trouble.
The archers arrived, and the wolf riders fired their nets, forcibly covering the berserker Gru...
Gru struggled to break free, fighting against several times the number of guards on its own. Its strength did not diminish, and its berserk state became more and more severe. Its eyes were bloodshot, and it could no longer speak clearly, only able to utter beast-like roars.
Several large nets covered Gru, rendering him immobile. The troll spearmen immediately followed up, dozens of sharp spikes piercing the berserk Gru, who let out a piercing howl as blood splattered everywhere...
Its blood, though red like scorching flames, actually corroded the thick threads of the net until they smoked. A gap quickly appeared in the net, and the creature thrashed about again... knocking away many more soldiers, including several elite wolf riders wielding orcish greatswords and skilled in hunting...
Both he and his black wolf crashed heavily against the stone wall, never to recover.
......
"Use the heavy crossbows to pin it down. Switch to muskets and fire..."
Troll hunters, put away your spears and immediately pull out the latest firearms, loading them with armor-piercing rounds... These contraptions come from the gnome engineers of the Eastern Kingdoms, and the details on them also feature modified arms from goblin engineers. The Horde's use of these new firearms is also at the request of Warchief Thrall.
With the aid of firearms, armor-piercing rounds capable of taking down even the strongest kodo beasts were now embedded in the flesh-and-blood body of the berserker. Gru quickly succumbed and collapsed...
Everyone was just about to breathe a sigh of relief...
Nearly half of Orgrimmar's guards were concentrated in this crowded passageway in the Dark Alley, and there was movement in the crowd.
Lorraine and Lilith were horrified to discover that right behind them and in front of them, as if by prior arrangement, an orc and a troll spectator were simultaneously trembling, their eyes turning red—clearly a harbinger of what was to come for Gru...
Not only among the bound suspects, Lorraine noticed upon looking up that some of the orc soldiers who had fallen to the ground during the battle with Gru also had the same symptoms. In the blink of an eye, Lorraine and Lilith were simultaneously pulled by tremendous forces from both ends, and both of them were in great discomfort.
Two more berserk characters, one on each side, their bodies completely red, began another massacre...
The wounded soldiers also began to swell, and even those who were not originally green but had the original orange skin of the Mag'har orcs or the new generation of orcs who originally had both red and green skin began to transform.
It was clearly not the effect of demon blood, or even the demon blood that originally resided within them, but rather the poisonous blood splattered from Gru's body that infected even more people...
This seems to be a deadly infectious blood poison; the method... Lorraine feels a sense of déjà vu...
I couldn't quite place where I'd seen it before; its devastating power left those infected disoriented. The assassination attempt on the delegation doesn't seem to be over, or perhaps it's not just a conspiracy targeting the delegation?
Why is this?
......
As Lorraine pondered this, danger loomed close, including Lilith.
His hands were bound, preventing him from casting spells or using the artifact. He tried to bite off the restraints with his teeth, but was pulled and knocked down by the monster's movements. Lilith was in grave danger.
Lorraine couldn't worry about anything else; he had to use the power of his eyes!
Just as he was trying to use necromancy runes to save himself and others...
Several small tentacles suddenly sprouted from Lilith's body, startling Lorraine. But the next second, the ropes binding Lilith broke off automatically, and she was instantly out of danger.
Lilith, who could have left immediately, pulled a skinning knife from her chest and charged aggressively towards Lorraine.
A strange little tentacle was dancing on her body, and Lorraine vaguely seemed to see a creature covered in sharp teeth perched on Lilith's shoulder... Lorraine felt that Lilith was shrouded in darkness.
Upon closer inspection, it appears to be a smaller version of Shadowfiend... or more accurately, a smaller version of Shadowfiend cub... affectionately perched on Lilith's shoulders, seemingly seeking praise and reward.
