Kel'Thuzad looked at Maguk who was bound by rune chains with fanatical eyes and had his shoulder blades locked and his limbs nailed with special magic spikes. The boredom in his heart finally dissipated.
"This is really a perfect biological form - no, maybe I shouldn't say biological. These big guys are like our structures, but their flesh and rock proportions form a delicate balance."
Lothar couldn't listen to Kel'Thuzad's long speech. He only knew that the value of this Gronn was very great - it was valuable in all aspects, whether it was used as a weapon or as research material.
Even those dragon bones didn't make Kel'Thuzad so excited, but it was normal to think about it. Although dragons were rare, they could be said to be creatures everywhere on Azeroth, but it was difficult for ordinary people to see them.
But the number of Gronns may be even rarer than dragons. Even in the original Draenor, the number of Gronns is extremely limited. They only exist in a few areas of Draenor, and most of them are those Little Goron.
Not to mention Magalon, every Magalon is equivalent to a walking disaster. Even the orcs who are as stupid as a green head are unwilling to provoke them. After all, Magalon can be regarded as a complete rock creature, and its habits are similar to those of Ge. Long is completely different.
Being able to capture a living Gronn, even for orc warriors like Orgrim and Grommash, can boast of a lifetime of glorious deeds. Unfortunately, both of them are now dead. , this kind of deeds has no bragging effect for them.
"His Majesty is indeed wise and mighty. He had already anticipated the value of this thing, so he asked us to capture a live one. When my men and I study him thoroughly, this will leave a mark on the entire magical history of Azeroth. A sum of money!"
When Lothar heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Kel'Thuzad must have been too excited. If he was seen like this by those orthodox Dalaran mages, it would be better if he didn't get together and beat him. Want to go down in history?
"Calm down a little, Archlich. Our mission is far from over. Moreover, capturing a Gronn at this time may arouse the vigilance of those ogres and other Gronns."
"Well...that's a problem." Kel'Thuzad temporarily moved his eyes away from Maguk. He drifted around in the temporary laboratory in the natural disaster camp. "The collection of black dragons is actually not necessary. Alarming the ogres in the core area, I have sent spies to check the black dragons there, and they have basically torn them to pieces, and they are no longer of any use value."
"So you're saying our mission can end earlier than expected?"
"If everything goes as planned, that's true, but His Majesty asked us to capture Gronn and mine Apexis ore. These two tasks have extended the time of our activities in Blade's Edge Mountain in disguise."
Kel'Thuzad tapped his pale bone fingers on his hand bones, "The ogres have been attacked by us, and they will definitely not give up until they are frightened. And if more than two Gronns appear at the same time, Our troops may be able to deal with it, but it will be at a high cost."
"And if Gruul appears in person, we may have to abandon the stronghold established here." Lothar said solemnly.
"There's no need to worry." Orgrim walked into the laboratory. It seemed that he had heard the conversation between Lothar and Kel'Thuzad. "With Gronn's habits, let alone missing one or two children, even if Even if Gruul’s descendants are dead, Gruul will not leave his lair easily.”
"Even so, we still have to worry about the ogres and Gronns dispatching at the same time."
"Well, there's actually no need to worry. If Gronn and the ogres were really in sync with each other, I'm afraid the Blade Tower ogres would have taken over the entire Blade's Edge Mountains for themselves." Orgrim He scratched his face and explained another thing that Lothar was worried about.
"Gron itself is a creature that likes to live alone and hunt. Even though Gruul is the leader of this tribe, he basically doesn't care about the life and death of his sons. He will only act when he feels that his territory has been violated. Will leave his lair to deal with incoming enemies - just like those black dragons hanging on the mountains."
"And now it seems that these single-minded ogres regard the Gronns as their bosses and patron saints, which makes the ogres choose to follow Gronn's command. However, with Gronn's intelligence level, it is possible that He is not as smart as the ogre, and it is really difficult for him to arrange his troops."
"So as long as we don't take the initiative to provoke Gronn, it is basically impossible for two Gronn to appear in front of us at the same time. As for the ruler of the ogres and Gruul, they are deeper in the Blade's Edge Mountains. We may I can’t even see them.”
Orgrim's words relieved Lothar's worries, but before such good news could make Lothar happy for too long, Kel'Thuzad came to a not-so-good conclusion.
"My psychic sent me news... They said they could read the whereabouts of the black dragon souls from the simple mind of this Gronn." Kel'Thuzad walked over with a dark face, "They saw A Gron arrived, a Gron using warlock magic and a group of cannibal magicians, and took away the souls of those black dragons."
"Gronn who uses magic?" Orgrim almost had his jaw dropped. "Gronn can still learn to use magic?"
"You have to ask the Gronn named Skullock." Kel'Thuzad was very unhappy with the answer. The resources of the natural disaster fell into the hands of a group of ogres and Gronn who only knew rough spells. "This The guy nicknamed Soul Grinder is also much more cautious than the average Gronn. Except for hunting for food, he rarely leaves his lair."
"A group of ogre magicians who use magic, and a Goron who uses warlock magic. Ha, there are really a lot of strange things in this world." Lothar shook his head and smiled, "Then it seems that we still have to Have you gone to meet the members of the 'Warlock Assembly'?"
"Almost all the magic of the ogre magicians comes from Gul'dan. Their strength should not be underestimated. I am afraid that this group of ogre magicians taught this Gronn magic."
Orgrim has been dealing with warlocks for the longest time, and he quickly deduced the possible situation, "It is only the weird group of ogres who come together to come up with the idea of teaching Gronn magic. I don't even know it." Should I say they are smart or stupid?"
"Maybe they are really smart," Kel'Thuzad dismissed it. He didn't want to find out who taught Gronn magic. This was not as important as the fact that "Gron could learn magic" itself.
But Gronn's predecessor, Magolon, seemed to be able to use some kind of runes to mediate the connection between himself and the earth. It was also a way of utilizing magic power, but this ability was completely degraded in Gronn's body. , now it is not a fantasy that Gronn can relearn magic through external forces.
"I will send people to find the tomb of this soul grinder. After our collection work is completed, we will take back him and the soul in his hands. After that, we can leave Blade's Edge Mountain and carry out the next plan. .”
Orgrim stated his plan. The Blade Tower Ogres have been driven away by the Scourge Legion for a certain distance. There is no need to fight with them in the canyon now. He just needs to clean up the surrounding Ogres and prevent them from recapturing them. Just the idea here.
The Bloodmaul Ogres have almost been completely wiped out by the Scourge, and all the land that originally belonged to the Bloodmaul Ogres has been owned by the Scourge. As for the ogre zombies, some were thrown into the mines for mining, and some acted as natural disasters. soldiers fight against the turret ogres.
While several people were talking, a loud voice came into their minds, "The new floating fortress has been built. Do we need to move it to Blade's Edge Mountain?"
"We have to wait for a while, Anub'arak. This kind of astral teleportation requires a lot of energy, and the amount of Sunwell water is limited. Until we learn how to use the energy of Apexis, we cannot transfer new ones for the time being. The fort is moving.”
Kel'Thuzad took down a medium-sized crystal from his experimental shelf. This was a purified Apexis crystal. Although he could feel the magical power contained in it, the Archlich still didn't know how to do it. Maximize the use of energy.
"Then let's do this for now, Lich. By the way, Doomhammer, the new wave of attacks from the Blade Tower ogres have arrived. They have walked into the trap of my children. Let your knights take care of them. Let’s deal with them all.”
"Come here, Crypt Lord." Orgrim and Lothar looked at each other, nodded to each other, and Orgrim left the camp and returned to the front line.
