Chapter 229 Hellroar
Chapter 229 Hellroar
A dark and windy night, a night for murder; the lake's surface, like a mirror, reflects the human heart...
Lorraine gripped the Tide Amulet, confirming that it was fully charged with tidal lightning power.
A series of countermeasures flashed through my mind...
The enemy outnumbered him; he wasn't a warrior, he was a mage.
The equipment had been damaged long ago, except for a few important items.
Lorraine simply threw away the broken items... He did indeed have treasures, quite a few.
He has already put away the token given to him by Master Merlin.
Besides the Kirin Tor's original insignia, Lorraine also received a magical purse as a gift from Master Merlin...
The seemingly small purse appears to contain a whole world.
It can hold at least twenty items of various sizes. This thing is called a purse, but it is actually a secret magic bag used exclusively by mages.
In Merlin's eyes, such a small thing was insignificant, and he casually tossed it to Lorraine along with the Kirin Tor original emblem.
He didn't have a chance to look closely at the time...
Previously, while tidying up and searching, I discovered that even the small items the boss casually gave me were top-quality.
For Lorraine at present, these are incredibly rare and precious items...
The magic pouch embroidered with the Kirin Tor Eye mark could easily hold the legendary staff, which was 1.5 meters long, and also stuffed in all the other odds and ends that Lorraine had been carrying.
Lorraine appeared... dressed in rags... but actually felt incredibly relaxed.
Finally, he looked somewhat like a refreshing and carefree mage.
Wading across the shimmering lake, Lorraine roused himself, ready to fight again with renewed vigor!
Unexpectedly, after only a few steps, I was forced back...
Perhaps, in the darkness, their adoptive father was still guiding the master and disciple to face their destiny.
"Today, I will make every sinner pay the price with innocent refugees! I will uphold the honor of Dalaran!"
Facing the enemy's relentless advance, Lorraine spoke sternly.
Master Yuvel was stunned upon hearing this... then burst into wild laughter:
"Did you hear what this filthy undead was saying? He said he wanted to uphold the honor of Dalaran! Hahaha, did I hear that right? Taylor, are you sure this is the legendary newcomer of Undercity, the chief lackey of the Dark Queen, the Plaguebringer Lorraine?"
Taylor quickly responded to the head of the Silver Covenant enforcement team, nodding firmly.
"Master, this Lorraine is very cunning and adept at disguise. He can also speak the common language of humans. He also knows evil necromancy. We must be careful!"
Taylor directly exposed Lorraine's secrets, causing Lorraine to frown.
The traitor was truly despicable; we did indeed overlook him at the time.
Whether this guy truly had faith or possessed an exceptionally strong will, he actually endured the mental lashes and soul-burning inflicted by the Shadow Priests, a feat most mortals could not withstand.
His hatred for the dead caused him to reveal a horrifying secret when he was lucid or semi-lucid.
The brainwashing techniques of the Shadow of Oblivion seem less effective than those of the bishops of the Church of Holy Light.
Are the Shadow Priests gentler than the priests who believe in the Holy Light?
Or are the Shadow Priests, who have become part of the Forsaken, just too naive?
Lorraine was unaware that Lady Aegwynn still wanted to save the two human mage apprentices, Taylor and Eileen.
Her previous claim that she had completely transformed two people into Forsaken was incomplete; in reality, Lady Aegwynn was not skilled in lich magic, nor did she possess the Banshee Queen's innate dark magic...
She only transformed into a disguised Forsaken appearance; Eileen and Taylor's human hearts remained unchanged...
Erin and Taylor, the talented mage apprentices from Dalaran, clearly had two different attitudes toward becoming Aegwynn's disciples.
Eileen has helped Lorraine many times, and it seems she genuinely wants to become Master Aegwynn's disciple.
She may have her own ambitions, but she is definitely aligned with Aegwynn...
Taylor is clearly stubborn...
Having been indoctrinated by the so-called spiritualist school and the Church of Holy Light, he has become a truly inhuman monster... getting closer and closer to becoming a true immortal.
Sensing the changes in himself, Taylor became increasingly despondent and erratic.
He told the wrong person everything that happened in Undercity...
Now, not only some members of the Kirin Tor Council in Dalaran know that Undercity has gained a formidable ally, but even organizations that have been secretly eyeing Undercity are beginning to reassess the value and cost of reclaiming the ruins of Undercity.
Fortunately, Taylor didn't know too much.
He didn't understand what Aegwynn represented, only that there was a strange female mage in Undercity who knew the secrets of Dalaran, had been corrupted into one of the Forsaken, and was the so-called president of the Forsaken Undead Research Society, and an advisor to the Undercity Royal Alchemy Society...
Taylor's most vivid memory is of Lorraine...
And I also witnessed firsthand Lorraine's methods and strategies before infiltrating Dalaran...
These imposters became the excuse someone wanted. According to the plan, news of the brutal Forsaken of Lordaeron disguising themselves as humans to kill civilians would soon spread throughout the Eastern Kingdoms.
The Horde's menacing offensive has become the pretext for Stormwind's new elites to organize resistance from various alliance forces. The Alliance army will continue its northward march, and other regions can also launch offensives against territories already embroiled in conflict...
The already fragile balance will be broken, and war will inevitably break out again.
This is in the interest of many people...
The information provided by Taylor is good news for the Silver Covenant. The trend of maintaining neutrality within the Dalaran Kirin Tor Council is subtly reversing, and the human factions will gradually regain the initiative, thus thwarting the Sunreavers' efforts.
Whatever the temporary agreement between the Queen of Undercity and Dalaran may be, it will become meaningless.
This is all a result that certain organizations are happy to see. These include the emerging nobles within Stormwind, the Shadow Council of the Horde, the Twilight Cultists who have been lurking in the shadows, and ambitious, warmongers who thrive on chaos...
On the Horde side, Warchief Thrall successfully contacted the Mag'har clan in Outland, met his grandmother Gaia, and the son of the primitive orc Warchief Grom Hellscream.
Grommash Hellscream, the chieftain of the Warsong Clan, was the first to drink the demon blood and, following the orders of then-Warchief Ner'zhul, launched an attack on the Draenei in Outland.
After Ner'zhul died, Gul'dan seized power and tempted more orcs to drink demon blood.
In reality, the primitive tribes had already been secretly driven and enslaved by the Burning Legion.
Until the Dark Portal opened, the orcish Horde, under Gul'dan's control, invaded Azeroth...
At that time, Thrall's father, Durotan & Frostwolf, along with the Frostwolf Clan orcs, his friend Orgrim & Doomhammer of the Blackrock Clan, and the Warsong Clan led by Warsong Chieftain Grommash & Garrosh Hellscream, also came to the Eastern Kingdoms of Azeroth.
Subsequently, Thrall's father, in order to expose Gul'dan's conspiracy, challenged the Blackhand, whom Gul'dan was supporting, to become the Warchief. After Durotan's unfortunate death in battle, the Frostwolf Clan was banished by Gul'dan to what is now the Alterac Valley...
The remaining orcs continued their attacks on Stormwind and Lordaeron...
Later, Gul'dan died unexpectedly at the Tomb of Sargeras... Orgrim seized the opportunity to take power and led the orcs to fight in the territory of Lordaeron.
The human alliance of Lordaeron defeated the orcs. They closed the Dark Portal, leaving the orcs with nowhere to retreat but Blackrock Mountain... until Orgrim died in Arathi Basin, passing the title of Warchief to the young Thrall.
Thrall freed the orc slaves enslaved by humans, rallied the orc tribes, and led them across the ocean to Kalimdor to establish a new Horde.
The Warsong tribe also followed suit and crossed the sea...
The new Horde will establish its capital in Orgrimmar...
The Warsong Clan of Grommash and Grommash Hellscream were stationed in Ashenvale, Kalimdor, cutting down trees. This attracted the goblins, whose harvesters were very efficient at logging, but this angered Cenarius, the demigod and guardian of the forest.
A conflict ensued, and under the influence of the burning demon blood, Grom accidentally killed the demigod Cenarius...
Orcs and elves have a blood feud...
After the death of the demigod Cenarius, the demon lord Manonos seized the opportunity to strike. Because almost all the Warsong orcs had drunk demon blood, the Warsong clan was nearly once again controlled by Manonos...
It wasn't until Thrall, the Tauren Chieftain, and Jaina arrived that Grom was able to remove the effects of the demon blood.
To atone for his sins, Grom joined Thrall in killing the demon lord Mannoroth, but he himself died in battle... Thrall brought all these heroic deeds back to Outland, the orcs' homeland.
Garrosh is willing to inherit his father's former glory... to eliminate the Horde's enemies for the Warchief... and to revive the Orcish Horde.
However, he and High Overlord Saurfang didn't seem to like the new Horde's allies... especially the Tauren Druids who always talked about peace and friendship, the evil Forsaken, and the Blood Elves who had long been at war with the Outland orc tribes...
Master Ansrem, a hardliner among humans, volunteered to stay in Alterac Valley, but his plans go far beyond that.
The premise is that after Dalaran leaves, no other people can know the truth.
Taylor was rattling off everything he knew, completely unaware that Master Yuvel, standing behind him, was watching his retreating figure with amusement...
