Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 626 179. My friend, I found you a new job

The Hillsbrad Downs are a place that hides many secrets.

For example, the mysterious but high-profile Ravenholdt Manor is in the mountains to the north of the hills.

Another example is the hills, at the intersection of the Alterac Mountains and the Silverpine Forest, there is a highland called Koran's Dagger, where there are camps set up by the mages of Dalaran to observe and monitor the elements in the Alterac Mountains strength.

And there is another unknown place in the hilly area, just off the southwestern coast, there is an island shrouded in clouds and mist all the year round. The people on the beach say that the island is inhabited by terrible creatures. Anyone who dares to approach it will be baffled. Missing.

So in the past few years, it has been a place that the fishermen of the hills have avoided talking about. There are even outrageous rumors that man-eating dragons live on that island.

But the truth is less mysterious, less fantastical, and less alluring.

The island does hold secrets, but not for the good.

It is an island of exile.

In the league's official records, this place is called "atonement island."

As the name suggests, the people on the island are those who need redemption.

Because there are many sea reefs near the island, the wind and waves are extremely strong, and the sea fog is shrouded all the year round, so the prisoners who are imprisoned here want to jump into the sea to escape, and there is a dead end.

Since Atonement Island was used as a place of exile for decades, no one has been able to leave there alive. It used to be used to imprison the most vicious criminals in various countries, as well as some political prisoners with mysterious origins.

But after the orc war began, there was only one type of prisoner on this island: traitors!

Those rebels who turned their backs and removed their armor during the orc war, acted as internal support for the orcs, and those rebels who fled on the battlefield, as long as they didn't die on the battlefield, would be thrown here to fend for themselves.

This is a cruel place. The alliance didn't even set up a warden here. The idea was to let these damned 10,000-times guys fend for themselves.

The facts were indeed as expected by the high-level officials. One year after the end of the war, there were not one in ten prisoners who were exiled here. Few of them jumped into the sea and drowned themselves, and most of them died of cannibalism.

Those who can survive are the wicked among the wicked, the lunatic among the madmen, and the butcher among the butchers. Once released, absolutely everyone can become a potential new star on the Azeroth crime scene.

It's a pity that there are very few people who know this place, and those who know have absolutely no intention of coming here to recruit "talents". Even when Ravenholdt needs dead soldiers, he doesn't look down on the bastards here.

But today, the bastards who remained on the Atonement Island welcomed a wave of guests.

Then they were massacred.

"Those disgusting things actually eat their own kind, and the things cooked in that pot make an orc like me feel sick! They deserve to die ten thousand times!"

Great Chief Red was still bruised and swollen, but his injuries were much better than last night. The old orc Ner'zhul treated him as an exception, and the orcs' witch doctor inheritance is still very powerful.

He is now leaning on his black-handed warhammer, commanding his "Three Black Stone Warriors", throwing the bodies of those fallen people who have just been hacked to death into the sea.

At the same time, Xieyan was asked to set a fire and burn this place full of depravity.

"Boy, what are you looking at?"

Black Hand's domineering instigation and the appearance of cooperating with Xieyan made the young orc Thrall who had just joined them very curious. He changed into an orc hunting suit and was looking at the great chief.

The gaze was immediately noticed by Red.

The latter turned his head back and bared his teeth fiercely at Sal.

Although Red wasn't smart enough, seeing how precious this young orc was in the Kor'kron clan, he knew that this guy had a lot of background, maybe it was Orgrim Doomhammer who asked these slender orcs to find before he died." illegitimate child".

This guy with a human name will become an obstacle for him to take charge of the "orthodox tribe" in the future.

To be honest, if it wasn't for Red's inability to defeat Brother Saurfang, he would now have the intention to "play a black hand" to strangle this young orc to death, and then throw him into the sea.

But Wal Locke has been protecting him, so Red can't find a chance to strike.

The vicious chieftain rolled his eyes, and he suddenly said:

"I heard that you were raised by humans, you must like humans very much, you green-skinned and white-hearted 'green mango orc', do you want to go in and see what disgusting things your favorite humans have done?

They eat their own people!

These guys survived by cannibalism. Do you still like them now? "

"There are fallen people in any race, humans are like this, and so are orcs."

Thrall sensed Red's hostility, and this smart young man realized the reason almost immediately. He took a step forward and said to Red:

"You... we orcs are not qualified to comment on this matter at present. After all, in the eyes of humans, we are also fallen people who drank the blood of demons.

However, Great Chief, you don't have to be so hostile to me. I just want to meet my people and learn about my parents. I probably won't stay in your tribe for long.

As you said, although I am an orc, I was raised by humans. I don't want to hide this, but I really don't have much sense of belonging to you.

Staying with you, you are not comfortable, and I am not comfortable.

Maybe we need a little more time. "

"Tsk tsk, evil eyes! Come and see, there is a 'scholar' among our rough orcs, look at the way he speaks, he is so gentle, it reminds me of those soft bastards in Stormwind who I killed back then Maesters."

Reid didn't appreciate it, he leaned on a flaming warhammer, and yelled at the warlock behind him in a sarcasm.

Xieyan curled his lips, so he didn't come to join in the fun.

In his opinion, Red is too stupid to expose his hostility. He is causing trouble for himself.

Nasar is surrounded by the Saurfang brothers and the entire Kor'Kron. If there is a fight, Red and his orthodox tribe are not opponents at all.

"This bastard."

Seeing Thrall being bullied, Wa Locke, who was drinking water next to him, was about to stand up and teach Red a lesson, but Ner'zhul beside him pinned his wrist.

The old orc with white lines on his face said weakly:

"Let him go. If you want him to grow, you have to let him go through this. He needs to be familiar with the way the orcs talk. The more he forbears, the more Red will push forward.

Don't worry, I talked to him.

Goyle is a very bright young man, very good at learning, and he will soon learn how to respond to Red's malice. If you're free, help me get all the magic items I brought back from Dalaran.

I am useful. "

Saurfang glanced at Ner'zhul, then at Thrall who was being humiliated by Red, he moved his fingers, and when he got up, he threw the throwing ax at his waist towards Thrall.

It was falling at Thrall's feet.

The young orc hesitated for a moment, reached out and picked up the throwing axe, and Red, who was facing him, also raised his warhammer with a grin. With a triumphant smile in his eyes, he said:

"Dare to draw your weapon in front of a chief, you are very brave, Xiaoqing Mango! Come, let Uncle Reid 'teach' you what fighting is!"

"Hey, Chief Scrap who bullies children."

The Xieyan next to him curled his lips, not to watch the "battle" of the embarrassing Red.

The orc warlock packed up his things now, and got his due share from Red's capture.

He was ready to leave with his captain for a while, returned to the sea, and glanced at the sea cliff above the island of redemption, where the captain's hippogryph was circling and flying.

No idea what Boo Laike was talking about with Boo Rocks.

Bou Laike, who flew here riding a hippogryph on the sea cliff overlooking the scenery of the entire Atonement Island, did not talk to Boo Rocks, on the contrary, he was chatting with an old friend.

Boo Laike Moore, who had lost his hand, sat on the edge of the sea cliff with a faint breath. The armor and weapons of His Excellency General were taken away, the armor was given to Thrall, and the weapon was given to an orc warrior in Kor'Kron.

The current Bu Laike Moore is wearing a tight-fitting clothing, his body is shaking from the cold sea wind, his hair is messed up, and his body is still stained with blood.

"Come on, have a drink."

The stinky pirate crouched in front of him and handed him his flagon. Braike Moore stared viciously at the bastard who had ruined everything in front of him, as if he wanted to kill him with his eyes.

"You don't want to drink? That's fine."

Bu Laike shrugged, completely ignoring His Excellency the General's murderous gaze, he twisted off the lid, took a sip of wine in his mouth comfortably, and patted Bu Laike Moore's shoulder again, the general grinned in pain.

This bad thing must have slapped his wound on purpose.

"You said that you honestly handed Thrall over to me at that time, wouldn't this matter be over? Why did you make trouble to this point? Seeing you being tortured so badly by the rough orcs made me feel very sad too. ,my friend."

The pirate said hypocritically to Bo Laike Moore:

"But there is actually no conflict between us. On the contrary, I have saved you this time. Ravenholdt was not doing well, and was caught alive. That dwarf master is not a strict-mouthed person no matter how you look at it.

He must have told the church and the kings all he knew, and noble men like King Terenas and Thoras Trollbane would certainly not be punished.

but you

Once the Great Reckoning begins, you must be the first to be thrown out as cannon fodder by the Trollbane royal family, so as to extinguish the anger of the church and the kings.

I will 'save' you out, you should thank me.

You said, you are a promising general, why do you have to get your hands dirty and play politics? What's so good about that thing, look what it has done to you! "

"Put away your hypocrisy, put away your foul language, you make me feel sick!"

Bu Laike Moore suppressed the anger and madness in his heart. He closed his eyes and said tremblingly:

"You ruined my career, you ruined my reputation, you took my future, you dragged me into the mud, you call all this 'rescue'?

How shameless do you have to be to say something like that?

You traitor who works with the greenskins!

This island should be your eternal home! "

"Tsk tsk, look at my compatriots, they are so changeable and double-standard, the hypocrisy is disgusting."

Bu Laike turned his head and "looked" at Bu Rocks Saurfang who was "appreciating" the conversation beside him. He said in standard orc language:

"A careerist who tried to use the orc captives as a tool to conquer the kingdom, a conspirator who tried to cultivate the king of the orcs, and an evil person who participated in the assassination of the leader, actually has the face to call me a traitor.

How shameless must he be to say such a thing? "

"I think he's right."

Bu Rocks looked at Bu Laike, and said very shamelessly:

"I also think the word he used to describe your evil is too 'elegant'. Compared with what you did in northern Xinjiang, Dellas Bu Laike Moore is as pure as a paladin."

"You orcs really can't talk. If I didn't need you, I should send a message to Dai Lin's battleship right now and ask him to come and strangle you all!"

Boo Laike made a spit.

He lowered his head and put his hand on the broken wrist of General Bo Laike Moore. The painful general screamed in pain, which made the stinky pirate even more happy.

He said:

"Let's not talk about the past, I have a new job for you, my friend Dellas, a job that you must like very much, which is why I must spare your life.

You like to engage in politics and intrigue, I just know that there is a place for you to play, and you will change your name to 'Ed Moore' in the future, and then"

The pirate stood up, drew out the legendary long sword at his waist with a swish, and tapped on the left and right shoulders of General Bu Laike Moore, who was trembling in pain, and said:

"In the name of His Majesty Alterac Kingdom's future king, Auriden Perenolde, I confer on you the title of Earl 'Iceblood' of the Kingdom of Alterac!

Make Iceblood Fortress and several nearby villages your fiefs.

If you want more, the fief of the Prestor family can also be given to you.

Of course, those places are still under the control of the Frostwolf Clan. When you assist His Majesty Auriden in expelling the orcs and recovering the land, you will be able to take over your fief.

At the same time, you will become His Majesty's military, espionage and intelligence director today, and advise him in the process of seizing the power of Alterac.

Forget Dunholde Castle, there is a new army at your command.

I believe in your ability in this area, and I also believe that you will be able to cooperate happily with him. After all, he used to be your disciple, and you have a common enemy!

I don't care what you do, within five years, drive the power of the Barov family out of the Alterac Kingdom. By then, the title, status, and reputation you want will be within your reach. "

He put the long sword on the neck of the wide-eyed general, and asked in a gentle tone:

"Now, tell me, Lord Ed Moore, what is your answer?"
