After leaving Orgrimmar, Arthas walked out of the Shadow Crack. Khadgar glanced at Arthas and knew how he had been found before.
"How does Orgrimmar look?" Khadgar asked with a smile, "In your time, Orgrimmar probably hadn't been built yet."
"Yes, but the situation in Orgrimmar is not much better than that in Stormwind City." Arthas replied casually, "This city of warriors has changed a bit since Garrosh took power."
"It's changed?" Khadgar, a mage, how can he understand the warrior's mentality?
Arthas glanced at Orgrimmar, which was as heavily defended as a steel fortress, "You are a mage, so I don't blame you for not understanding this - but the orcs have also been our allies, and you should know what they value most. "
"What do orcs value most? Let me think about it, should it be victory? Or strength?" Khadgar touched his stubbled chin, "Ah~ I thought about it, it should be honor? The tribe has been there since I was still here Shattrath kept talking about it while he was here."
"Yes, it is honor. Especially those old orcs, what they value most is not victory in battle, because a glorious death is also a reward for them. Orcs value honor and belief far more than victory in battle. itself.
The victorious orcs will indeed be admired by others, but an unscrupulous orc like Gul'dan will never be recognized by them. They are just afraid of Gul'dan's power and strength.
Unfortunately, fear cannot be a permanent tool for rulers. "
Khadgar nodded thoughtfully, "But what does this have to do with the problem you mentioned in Orgrimmar?"
“Although Garrosh’s regime has fallen, he still imprinted the ideas of orthodox tribes and orc supremacy into Orgrimmar and the entire tribe.
Even though Vol'jin has tried his best to improve this kind of thinking, most of the members of the tribe are dissatisfied with the changing atmosphere.
Among them, the ones who are the most silent, but also miss the past tribe the most are the old people who have dedicated everything to the tribe - for example, Varok Saurfang. "
"Saurfang..." Khadgar muttered the name.
What were tribes like in the past? What Saurfang misses is not the killing machine controlled by Gul'dan and the Shadow Council that brought misery to Azeroth, but the new Horde led by Thrall.
But now, the new warchief of the tribe, Sylvanas Windrunner, has a method and style that is almost completely opposite to that of the orcs, and even Sylvanas' own position is not firm enough.
Because the forgotten people she represents are the dead who stand on the opposite side of all the living, and even if they have free will, the thinking of the undead is fundamentally different from that of the living.
As the master of the Scourge, Arthas knew this better than anyone else, so he avoided having too close contact between the Scourge of the Undead and the Kingdom of the Living.
The undead who still remain on the continent of Azeroth do need their own country and home, but that cannot be established on the land of the living.
Especially Sylvanas and the Forsaken are occupying the ruins of Lordaeron - at least humans cannot turn a blind eye to this kind of thing. Recovering Lordaeron is not just a slogan.
Sylvanas may be a qualified leader and warchief when dealing with the Burning Legion, but she will definitely not be the long-term choice of the tribe.
Later events will prove that Arthas's statement is correct. Sylvanas's own behavior will make many members of the tribe dissatisfied after the Burning Legion retreats.
When many of their own people criticize their leader, then Sylvanas will no longer be able to continue to be the warchief.
"At least Sylvanas is trustworthy now, because even if she has selfish motives and her own goals, they must be based on repelling the Burning Legion. Otherwise, if the Burning Legion succeeds, then all her plans will be lost. In any sense.”
"We have no other choice but to believe in this new warchief," Khadgar smiled bitterly, "By the way, Arthas, what are you going to do next?"
"I have to return to Dalaran with you and wait for my prey to appear - if a difficult demon appears, I will help. Having information about Dalaran is better than me aimlessly searching for demons outside. "
"Do you need an assistant? The high-level demons of the Burning Legion are difficult to deal with, and if you are not careful, they will call in more helpers." Khadgar asked. If Arthas needs an assistant, he can pass His own channels helped him assign several reliable teammates.
"Teammates... shouldn't be needed for the time being. After all, the less people know about my identity, the better." Arthas glanced back at Orgrimmar for the last time. "Especially if Windrunner knows about my existence, I'm afraid she will Do things you and I can’t even imagine.”
Khadgar imagined what Arthas said and found that it was indeed very likely to happen. He gave up the idea, "Okay, I'll talk about the assistant later, but if you need my help, I will try my best." of."
"Thank you, Khadgar. I do need your help with something now. I may go to Stormfjord. I should be able to find my first target there."
"Stormheim...the home of the Vrykul, has it been infiltrated by demons?" Khadgar frowned. He originally thought that Dalaran's response was fast enough, but he didn't expect that the Burning Legion seemed to want more. One step faster.
"The Burning Legion is always good at bewitching fools who are weak-willed or ambitious. Unfortunately, they always forget one thing. When a fool gains power, he is still a fool - conspirators like Gul'dan are not See more."
Compared to the orc warlock who was playing tricks on the entire tribe, Alsace's next target was much easier to deal with. He was just a coward who was dazzled by strength and power.
Moreover, there is another purpose to going to Stormheim.
Because that is where the Titan Guardian Odin and his Hall of Valor are located. As an existence older than the dragon, Odin is undoubtedly a huge treasure trove to be developed. Arthas wants to see if he can get it from this Get some good stuff from the guardian.
At the same time, Odin is also the world's important ally against the Burning Legion and another evil force.
Compared to the elven cities of Suramar and Gul'dan, Arthas was more interested in the secrets of the Titans.
