Fish can't live without water, melons can't live without rice seedlings, people will be hungry if they don't eat, and beasts will die if they want to die.
Simple and simple truth.
Although Spartacus didn't understand what Stockholm Syndrome was, he knew that in the war more than ten years ago, the orcs had neither justice nor glory.
To be honest, during the days when Carlos disappeared, his father Alex Barov was under a lot of pressure, and it was even more empty talk to treat the orc captives kindly. If it weren't for the constant echoes of opposition from the shadows, the Grand Duke Regent of Alterac must insist on two things--all decrees promulgated by Carlos Barov must be strictly implemented, and anyone who refuses to implement them must be strictly enforced. It's rebellion... The life of the more than 200,000 orc captives held in Alterac may not be any easier.
But everything is afraid of comparison.
Compared with the brutal and brutal treatment of orc captives by the Kingdom of Lordaeron and other human victorious nations, the former orc swordmaster Spartacus could not find any reason to rebel.
Slaves, living tools, labor cheaper than mules and horses, gray animals in underground arenas, the lowest level of society who are easily killed at every turn.
Humans have a position to retaliate against the orcs. Even if Terenas used his power to deny the massacre after the victory of the war, it still cannot erase the hatred of the orcs of that generation and the fear brought by the dark tide.
But... times have changed.
Spartacus and the glorious orc veterans under Carlos never denied their guilt for this wrong war, and they did not hesitate to fight bravely and even seek death to make up for their mistakes in the hope of redeeming the lost honor.
But the child is innocent.
Orcs are a natural fighting race, and even female orcs are good hunters.
Although Orgrim Doomhammer's last efforts caused a large number of female orcs to return to Draenor in the later stages of the war, there are still a considerable number of female warriors remaining in Azeroth.
Except for a few exotic species with heavy tastes, humans have almost zero interest in orc women. After a large number of male orcs imprisoned in detention centers died due to heavy labor and various reasons, the ratio of men to women among orc captives was actually Surprisingly not so disparate.
When being held separately, allowing male and female orcs to "meet" has also become a means for the guards to make the orcs obedient.
Under such circumstances, the orcs actually multiplied in Azeroth.
Ha, what an irony, what was not achieved in the war was actually achieved.
In Elrethalas, the Glory Orcs proved themselves worthy of the word glory with a battle loss rate of over 40%. Carlos is on good terms with Daelin, but he will never put his Honor Orcs into Kul Tiras' fleet.
With the conscience of heaven and earth, Carlos had no doubt that Daelin was even willing to sink his own ship and then pay himself a high amount of money to let those orcs sink into the sea.
Therefore, those glorious orcs who are still in Elre'Thalas can only take their ships back after the night elves' sea transportation pressure is less stressful.
But the rewards they deserve need to be implemented.
Kalos granted the honorable orcs who had fought for him permission to allow their families to have their own land in the Hinterlands.
This is not only a reward, but also comfort and restraint.
Two hundred thousand orcs was not too much, but after recruiting a full 10,000 strong men, Alterac was not afraid of the evil intentions of those captives at all.
Two hundred thousand orcs is a small number, and the number alone exceeds a quarter of Alterac's official population.
There was no way. When all the countries were assigned to bear the responsibility of imprisoning prisoners, Carlos and Terenas were in their honeymoon period. The Kingdom of Lordaeron dug a hole and proposed to share the pressure according to the proportion of the territory.
According to this plan, Alterac actually only needs to bear less than 60,000 orc captives.
However, Carlos disappeared, and Terenas was not so easy to talk to his little boy Alex.
Didn't Brill and Anhador carry out land swaps? Didn't your Barov family acquire a large number of Hillblade's land titles?
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility; the more land, the heavier the task.
Alliance leader Terenas did not hesitate to include Alterac, which had lost Carlos, on the list of victims.
So whether it was Stromgarde, Gilneas, or Alterac, they were all taken over by the wealthy Kingdom of Lordaeron.
Even when Gilneas retreated from the group, they returned the orc captives to Lordaeron's disgusting Terenas.
Originally, according to Jean Greymane's idea, they should all be killed.
But his dissatisfaction with Terenas even exceeded his hatred of the orcs, and Genn did not do this.
Therefore, despite the internal fighting and calculations in the alliance, the orcs living within the sphere of human influence have always been above the minimum population red line for population reproduction.
Although Thrall didn't know these statistics, which required a lot of manpower and material resources to collect, he knew what he had to do for his tribe based on his feelings.
With the support of the Frostwolf clan, Thrall gained sufficient strength.
As the son of Durotan, Thrall's reputation in the Frostwolf clan is much higher than he imagined.
So Thrall's plan was supported by the Frostwolf clan.
Note that this is support rather than approval.
According to the idea of the Frostwolf orcs, even if they want to rescue their compatriots, they should first attack the concentration camp in Alterac, then cross the Hinterlands, follow the migration route of the Frostwolf clan from the mountains to the Arathi Highlands, and then liberate the Riptide The orcs imprisoned in the fort finally went south.
Even the Frostwolf clan, which is huddled deep in the mountains, has heard of the strength of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
One should not offend an irresistible opponent, this is the most basic law of jungle hunting.
But because he is Thrall, the son of Durotan, and a child favored by the elements, the Frostwolf clan made a decision and supported Thrall's decision.
The Frostwolf clan, which was absent from the entire Second Orc War, did not understand Thrall's feelings for Carlos.
Thrall, who has never seen the Royal Guards of Lordaeron and the Blades of the Knights of the Silver Hand, does not know how strong the armed forces of the Kingdom of Lordaeron are, but he understands that the Frostwolf Clan is definitely no match for the Royal Knights of Alterac. .
So after thinking calmly, Thrall decided to start from Hillblade and Durnholde Castle.
Because that's where he grew up, and he's familiar with everything in the castle.
What's more, Durnholde Castle is the Kingdom of Lordaeron's largest holding place for orc captives in Hillbrad.
And the reason why Sal couldn't tell him, was the woman who made him understand for the first time what gentleness and kindness were - Taressa.
Carlos focused all his energy on maintaining the alliance, on lobbying the Lordaeron dignitaries to accept the sale of food in the disaster-stricken areas in the south, and on the overt and covert intrigues within humanity. He did not think of this at all. A woman of no importance.
Even the important task of monitoring the actions of Thrall and the Frostwolf Orcs was directly delegated to Spartacus.
Blackmoore educated Thrall well, and Thrall had a strong learning ability. He was a qualified gladiator and had a smart mind.
But fighting can rely on instinct, but war requires tuition.
Originally, Spartacus wanted to take off his black iron helmet and disguise himself as a tribal veteran who fled into the mountains after defeat to approach Thrall and influence his decision to lead this "farce".
But when he spotted the familiar figure, Spartacus gave up the idea.
At this time, Thrall was a qualified warrior, but not a qualified hunter. He had not yet mastered the hunting ability that the orcs were best at.
So much so that Spartacus easily lured the orc he cared about away from Thrall.
"Come out and lead me here. You won't be so hot and uncomfortable and want to blow the night breeze."
"You should rot in the mountains and forests instead of reappearing in front of the orcs. I don't know if all the old people in the Frostwolf clan are dead, but they didn't let the Frostwolves eat all your bones and dregs. I can only Said you did a great job disguising yourself."
"who are you?"
Spartacus took off his helmet under the bright moonlight.
The orcs, both of whose temples were gray, looked at each other for a moment.
"Spartacus, my friend, you are alive!"
"Orgrim, my warchief, you should have died long ago."
