Gronn, a species unique to Draenor, are known as the Children of the Stone.
All creatures in Draenor can be classified into two clear lines of... degeneration.
Yes, you read that right, degeneration not evolution.
To put it simply, there are only two intelligent races in Draenor: spores and stone descendants.
Among them, spore creatures are a native species of Draenor. Before Draenor was discovered by the Pantheon Titan, Avenger Aggramar, the entire planet was occupied by spore creatures.
With the intervention of Aggramar, the rock creatures as Titan creations joined the degeneration chain of Draenor, and followed the Titan creations Grond - Rock Djinn - Magolon - Gronn - One-eyed Demon - Eater The line of human demons and orcs degenerated.
Strictly speaking, Gronn, who is the fourth layer of the degradation chain, should be regarded as the ancestor of the orcs. However, in Draenor, where the development of civilization is still very primitive, neither the orcs nor the Gronn recognize this blood relationship, and hunting each other is A common thing.
Compared with the orcs whose physical strength has been severely degraded, the individual combat power of Gronn far exceeds that of ordinary orcs. If you want to hunt Gronn, you often need to dispatch an orc hunting team of at least ten or twenty people, and you may not necessarily win.
When Grom was young, he once killed a Gronn single-handedly with Gorehowl, the Hellscream family's inherited battle axe, and he became famous among the orc clans.
The Warsong Clan did not participate in the main part of the Second Orc War. They were sent to Azeroth to collect artifacts by Ner'zhul, who temporarily took over the position of warchief after the defeat of the old tribe.
Therefore, Grom has not seen the dragons of Azeroth with his own eyes. He heard information about the dragon clan from Zuluhid, the former chief of the Dragonmaw clan.
Zuluhid is the old chief of the Dragonmaw clan and the last shaman of the Dragonmaw clan.
He also invaded Azeroth with the old Horde warchiefs Blackhand and Gul'dan.
After Nekros accidentally brought back the Demon Soul and enslaved the Red Dragon Queen, the old and frail Zuluhid passed the chieftainship to Nekros and returned to Draenor alone to try to live in peace. rest of life.
It was at that time that Grom, who stayed in Draenor, heard a lot of information about the powerful creatures of Azeroth from the returning Zuluhid, including the dragon family.
Grom, who has regained his peak combat effectiveness, is very confident in himself. If he encounters Gronn again, he is fully confident that he can kill the opponent alone.
However, Grom, who was so confident at this moment, ignored a problem.
Let's not mention the question of who is stronger or weaker between the dragons and the Gorons on land. Unlike the Gorons who can only crawl on the ground, the dragons can fly.
These young green dragons are the guards guarding the entrance to the Big Shade Dreamland.
The green dragons of Big Shade had long detected the local conflict in Chichi, but before receiving further orders from Wyrmrest Temple, they had no intention of intervening in the battle between the night elves and the orcs, who were also mortals.
Yes, mortal.
No matter what the night elves think, in the eyes of the dragons, they are still mortals after all and have not truly achieved transcendence.
However, just as the green dragons and Mannoroth were hiding away enjoying themselves and watching the show, the orcs who had been suppressed and beaten before suddenly had a super evolution, which in turn defeated the night elves who had the upper hand. rout.
More importantly, the green dragon, who was very sensitive to vitality, saw an abnormal increase in vitality from the orcs, and the disgusting stench of evil energy made them instinctively disgusted.
After some discussion, the three adult green dragons sitting in the shade of a big tree decided to send out scouts to observe closely the reason why the orcs suddenly increased in strength.
If it is really related to the demons of the Burning Legion, they no longer need to abide by the dragon clan's principle of not intervening in mortal wars and purify these green-skinned monsters whose brains have been destroyed by evil energy on the spot.
"hold head high!"
After confirming that all the orcs had a strong demonic aura, the five young dragons who were the vanguard no longer hesitated and spit out the unique acid breath of the green dragon clan toward the Warsong clan below as they passed through the air.
Draenor also has two-headed dragons, flying creatures with dragons in their names, but the two-headed dragons are essentially not the same type of species as the dragons of Azeroth, and there is a huge difference in strength between the two sides.
The Warsong Clan had also participated in the hunt for the two-headed dragon. Facing the incoming green dragon, they originally planned to take the opportunity to counterattack and cut off the enemy's wings when the opponent lowered its height and showed its claws.
However, the green dragon started spitting acid far away in the sky, which was completely beyond the expectations of Grom and others.
Due to the lack of sufficient intelligence and the failure to take correct response measures, this round of dragon breath breathing caused heavy losses to the Warsong clan.
Even if they are strengthened by the blood of demons again, the orcs are still mortals. Mortal flesh and blood cannot withstand the corrosion of strong acid.
If the acid dragon's breath touches even a little bit, the orc's muscle tissue will quickly rot, screaming and losing combat effectiveness.
Seeing with his own eyes that his tribe was being ravaged one-sidedly by these green dragons, Grom clenched his teeth in anger and clenched the handle of Gorehowl's ax with both hands to silently gather strength.
When the green dragon, which had circled in the air, turned around again and prepared to breathe out the second round of dragon breath, Grom, who had been prepared for a long time, aimed at one of the young dragons and threw his battle ax without hesitation.
Grom has ceiling-level strength among all orcs. After being strengthened by the blood of demons, he has even touched the door to break through the limits of mortals.
The scales of the young dragon were unable to withstand the battle ax thrown by Grom. The young dragon that was unfortunately hit in the chest screamed and fell from the air on the spot. His fate... Needless to say.
"Roar!!"
Grom's action of shooting down the green dragon angered several adult dragons who were still watching behind the scenes. They originally planned to continue watching and immediately took off, leading all the green dragons sitting in the shade of the big tree to join the attack on the Warsong clan. middle.
At the same time, a large number of dragonmen also swarmed out from the shade of the big tree, and collided with the roaring and screaming Warsong clan in the clearing.
"Hahaha! Okay, good job!!"
Mannoroth, who was also watching from a distance, clapped his hands happily.
He didn't care about the life and death of the Warsong clan at all, he just wanted these consumables to cause damage to the green dragon as much as possible, and then he could wait for work to break through the shade of the big tree, destroy the dream portal, and complete the task assigned by Lord Archimonde.
However, just as Mannoroth cheered loudly, a loud charge horn sounded from behind the Warsong clan that was fighting with the green dragon.
Grom had just pulled out the Gorehowler from the dead dragon that fell to the ground. His blood was boiling and he was about to pursue the victory. The familiar sound of the horn coming from behind was like a basin of ice water being poured on his head.
"Well!"
The bloodthirsty and warlike instinct clashed with reason. Grom felt dizzy and raised his hand to press his forehead.
"Is this...the tribe's attack call? Who is the target?"
When Grom, who was constantly struggling in his heart, saw the orc commander who led the charge out of the woods on a wolf, he immediately understood what the opponent's troops were pointing at.
"Varok? Why...attack us?"
"Damn it!"
The bloodthirsty impulse intensified by the demon's blood overwhelmed Grom's brief recovery of reason, and his eyes turned blood red again.
"Roar! Win or die! Warriors of the Warsong clan! Follow me to fight back!"
"Yes! Power and glory! Blood and thunder!"
Even Grom, the most rational chief among the Warsong clan, has lost himself, let alone ordinary warriors. They have already been carried away by the boiling blood, and they follow Grom without hesitation and turn to Varok's leadership. The tribal troops launched a counterattack.
"Grom..."
Varok, who held the ax in one hand and lowered his center of gravity, had a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "Sure enough, we can only defeat them first... Brox!"
"Oh! Leave it to me!"
Brox Saurfang, who was also riding a wolf and followed closely behind Varok, stood out from the crowd. He raised his hand and patted the wolf under him to gain strength and then flew into the air.
While he was still in mid-air, Broxi stepped on the air and launched a heroic leap, and was the first to jump into the Warsong Clan's military formation.
Relying on the impact caused by his heroic leap when he landed, the heroic Brox took advantage of the situation and chopped down the two Warsong Orcs who were rushing forward. Although he was in the enemy's formation, he fearlessly roared provocatively at Grom, who had blood-red eyes. .
"I am the warchief's blade - Broxshi'gar Saurfang!! Face me! Hellscream!"
