Sarlayan had heard from Orrox earlier that Gruul himself was not interested in managing the mortals under his command.
But his restless sons were not of the same mind as their father.
As the last member of the Destroyer force, now that the original beast force has been destroyed, Gruul, as Magalon, is more powerful than Draenor.
After defeating the invading black dragon forces, Gruul's reputation was at its peak, which also led to the expansion of his Gronn descendants.
In barrage terms, they were obviously a little distracted.
Gruul only wanted to hold on to his one-third of an acre of land and had no intention of expanding his territory. However, several of his descendants complained about their father's negative attitude.
Gruul had a total of 7 sons. Among them, Doon the Devourer had different ideas from his father and other brothers, and left Blade's Edge Mountain early.
Dune left for the Nagrand Prairie to start his own business. His men led an ogre clan called Stonemaul, who often clashed with the local Mag'har orcs and the Alliance garrison.
Until now, Du En has been doing well.
Except for Doon, Gruul's other six sons all stayed in the Blade's Edge Mountains.
The Gronn race is naturally ill-tempered, and their relationship with each other is not harmonious.
Among the six sons of Gruul, Slaig and Maguk are the most obedient, and they always follow Gruul's lead.
Golgrom and Gok are the two most radical among the six sons. They have repeatedly encouraged Gruul to leave the Blade's Edge Mountains and bring the entire Draenor under the control of the Gronn family, but they have never been able to do so.
The last two sons are named Grulock and Skullock. Compared to the other brothers, these two are keen on playing chess and frequently intervening among the various forces in Blade's Edge Mountain. Both of them regard it as a way to pass the time. game.
Once the war between the three major clans reaches a breaking point, Grulock and Skullock will step in to mediate at the right time. They don't want to end this "playing house" game that has lasted for many years so early.
To use a barrage joke, this is called sustainability.
Gruul's seven sons have also entered the realm of demigods, and they are both strong and weak among each other.
The strongest one is Duen who left Nagrand alone.
Until now, the Mag'har orcs and the Alliance defenders still have nothing to do with this guy. They can only continue to fight the proxy war with the Stonemaul Ogres under his command.
The strength gap between the remaining six people is not big, and they are all in the same league in a one-on-one fight.
Sarlayan didn't want to face Gruul and seven Gronns at the same time. He had already made plans to defeat them. First, he would start with Gruul and Skullock, two guys who like to play human warfare.
The direction of the battle was not much different from Sarlayan's expectation.
The Bloodmaul Ogres, one against two, still occupied the initiative on the battlefield. The Thunder God Orcs and the Blade Tower Ogres, who had their own difficulties, could only join forces to resist the pressure.
On the second day of the war, the guy behind the Dota Ogre learned of the situation belatedly.
At the same time, Sarlayan received another communication from Onyxia from the Crystal Wastes, and the Ogre of Orgrila had indeed made new moves.
"Sure enough..." Sarlayan said with a sneer: "The ones hiding behind the ogres in the Blade Tower are the Ogrila trolls. Now that this is confirmed, the next step will be easy."
"Oni, don't hold back, give those idiots who think they can control the overall situation a little shock with the strength of the old demigods."
"Okay~ I can just stretch my muscles before the real battle starts. By the way..."
Onyxia smiled and said, "Let's see if we can take this opportunity to lure those guys out of their hiding place."
In order to protect the dragon eggs, the black dragons who stayed in the Blade's Edge Mountains have stayed in seclusion all these years. They did not dare to show too high a profile, lest they attract Gruul's full force to annihilate them.
Affected by Deathwing's need to act in a flamboyant manner, most black dragons are arrogant people.
After being frustrated and pretending to be a grandson in Blade's Edge Mountain for more than ten years, I finally found a powerful adult sibling. The guardians of the dragon eggs may not be able to bear it and not show up.
It would be best if we could lure them out. If that didn't work, Sarlayan also had a backup plan of a blanket search.
When Onyxia came to launch an attack directly above the village of Orgrila, this group of ogre magicians who were trying to overthrow Gruul's rule as mortals were still having heated discussions about the drastic changes in the situation in the Blade's Edge Mountains.
With Sharlayan's permission, Onyxia really didn't hold anything back this time.
A deep breath that had been charged for a long time easily blasted through the arcane protective shield outside the village of Ogrila. The fiery shadow flames burned the fat and strong ogres and screamed.
Although the Ogrira ogres quickly organized their troops to fight back aggressively, however... this was of no use.
Facing Onyxia, the elite black dragon, all the spells hitting the black dragon's strong scales were unable to cause substantial damage. However, a few crude-looking ballistae caused some damage to Onyxia. Pain.
But only a little bit.
If it were Quel'Thalas' magic cannon saturation bombing, even Onyxia wouldn't dare to attack it head-on. After all, quantitative changes can also lead to qualitative changes.
However, Ogrila's sparse crossbow attacks were not enough to damage the thick-skinned Onyxia.
The mysterious self-confidence of the Ogrera ogres was shattered into pieces of glass less than half an hour after the war began. In the face of the cruel facts, they finally realized the huge gap like a chasm between themselves and the demigods.
Once overconfident people have their confidence shattered, they tend to suffer greater psychological trauma than the average person.
To put it simply, under Onyxia's merciless and full blow, the mentality of the Orgrila ogre completely collapsed.
No matter how hard they struggled, they could not cause any harm to Onyxia. In desperation, the Orgrila ogres, who recognized the reality, took out a bad posture.
Without Sarlayan's instructions, the Black Dragon Princess, who is already extremely intelligent, knows that going too far is not enough.
Seeing the Ogrila ogre lying flat and being mocked, she turned around and left on the spot, leaving only the devastation of the Ogrila village after it was ravaged.
The Orgrila ogres, who had been severely punished, did not suffer many casualties. The ones who suffered the most were their glassy hearts, which they thought could make a difference with Gruul.
...There is a story, Sarlayan and Onyxia are both curious about where these guys who are a little smarter than the average ogres come from.
At the same time, the Blade Tower Ogres, who had not received Ogrila's latest instructions, could only bite the bullet and join forces with the Thunder God Orcs to deal with the Bloodmaul Ogres' attack.
This three-party melee lasted for more than a month.
During this period, Jaina also made a special trip to Nagrand to personally confirm the situation of Dune the Devourer.
According to Jaina's observation, Duen seems to have lost contact with Blade's Edge Mountain a long time ago. He knows nothing about the changes in the situation in Blade's Edge Mountain and is still enjoying training the Stonemaul Ogres under his command.
More than a month has passed by in a hurry.
Both Sharlayan and Onyxia were quite disappointed. The dragon egg guardians seemed to have completely lost their spirit after years of dormancy, and they still did not show up despite Onyxia making such a big fuss.
"It's also possible that they recognized me as a 'traitor'."
Onyxia had already come to Mok'Nathal Village to meet with Sharlayan, and her eyes twinkled a little when talking about this matter.
"Traitor... ha~ Who is the person who betrayed his mission?"
More than a month of war has made the three warring parties increasingly weak.
Faced with the stubborn persistence of the Thunder God Orcs and the Blade Tower Ogres, the Bloodmaul Ogres, who were so impressive at first with their victory over the Moksana clan, were finally unable to defeat them.
It just so happened that when the three parties wanted to stop fighting but each had their own concerns, the opportunity for a comeback that Lai Orox had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived.
Gruul's sons, Gruulok and Skullock respectively set out.
The miserable Thor Orcs were used by Skullock as a pendant for the Blade Tower Ogres, and they were about to sit down at the negotiation table with the Bloodmaul Ogres represented by Grulock to discuss the distribution of benefits after the war.
Just when these two Gorons, who regarded mortal war as a game, were laughing and hiding behind to watch the show remotely, the God of Death came to them unexpectedly.
"Scurok, son of Gruul."
When Onyxia rushed to the other side to deal with Grulock, Sarlayan, who had restored the dragon prototype, suddenly activated a space teleportation spell and appeared directly above Skullock's location without any warning.
"I'd better say hello to you little bastard, and then... say goodbye forever."
Skullock, who was still enjoying the flattery of the Blade Tower Ogre, looked up in shock. At the last moment of his life, he only saw a dazzling golden beam getting closer and closer to him.
"boom!"
