Yes, assassination.

For Azuka, who has an unfair position, Samuro, who has noble aspirations and always adheres to the way of the sword master, is the biggest obstacle to her full control of the Burning Blade clan.

There is an old saying in another world, a villain's heart is used to judge a gentleman's heart.

In order to ensure that Samuro would not suddenly jump out to compete with him for the position of chief, many years ago, when Samuro had just left Quel'Thalas and was about to return to Draenor, Azuka sent several close assassins. Trying to assassinate Samuro, who was in poor condition at the time.

However, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse, not to mention that Samuro is accompanied by a fellow disciple who is also very powerful.

The assassination ultimately ended in failure. Samuro and Lantriso defeated all the assassins, but just when they wanted to question the assassins' origins, the assassins of unknown origin swallowed poison and killed themselves almost at the same time.

Note, it's almost.

Not everyone can face death calmly. One of the junior assassins only hesitated for a moment before Lantrexo took the opportunity to remove his jaw.

Since he failed to die, the assassin who understood his situation had nothing to hide.

He told Lantriso and Samuro all the information he knew in detail, in exchange for Samuro's promise as an orthodox Fire Blade Sword Master.

After letting go of the Burning Blade Assassin who planned to retreat to the mountains and forests, the grumpy Lantrisso once wanted to go back and kill the despicable Azuka. Samuro, who was in a frustrated state at the time, stopped him.

"Forget it, let her go."

"The Burning Blade clan has long lost its former glory. Today we are as depraved and disgusting as other evil orcs."

Samuro shook his head with a bitter expression: "Perhaps this is the punishment our ancestors gave us for violating our oaths and beliefs."

Under Samuro's persuasion, Lantriso, who was still aggrieved, gave up the idea of ​​killing Azuka, which allowed her to survive to this day.

After returning to Havalo, Samuro, who was no longer disturbed by external will, gradually regained his original belief and driving force.

As Grom killed the Abyss Lord Mannoroth and became enlightened, all the orcs got rid of the physical and mental weakness caused by the sequelae of demon blood, and Samuro returned to his peak, and even made further progress.

Today, Samuro is already better than his old master. His strength is even higher than that of Dahl Triple Blood Blade at his peak. He has reached the highest peak that a mortal can reach. He is basically the same as Garona before receiving Sharlayan's guidance. flat.

Due to professional compatibility, the swordsman and the thief, who are both agile professions, engage in a Makgora duel. Unless Garona can perform beyond her level, there is a high probability that she will not be able to beat Samuro, who is more brave and good at fighting.

After all, thieves are not experts in frontal combat, and Makgora is not allowed to use any spells, nor is he allowed to use stealth to escape into the shadows first.

Without the advantage of stealth and ambush, Garona, who specializes in assassination, will lose at least 30% of her combat effectiveness.

Grom, who was carrying the Gorehowl ax on his shoulder, looked at Azuka whose expression changed drastically and said with interest: "I'll give you a chance to choose. In this Makgora, do you want to choose me or Samuro?" ?”

If Azuka really still retains even a trace of her self-esteem as the Fire Blade Sword Master, she will definitely choose Samuro and prove her legitimacy in power through this one-on-one duel.

However, Azuka still disappointed Samuro and those followers of the Fire Blade who expected her to perform perfectly. She chose the playstyle with the highest winning rate.

"I won't change my mind! If I say it's you, it's you, Grom Hellscream!"

"Hmph~ OK."

When Samuro shook his head in disappointment, Grom stepped forward without hesitation.

All the orcs present temporarily stopped confronting each other and gathered in a circle very consciously, leaving a fighting space for Azuka and Grom in the middle of the field for a one-on-one duel.

Although she has long given up on the way of the Sword Master, Azuka has not changed her weapons. She still uses a standard Fire Blade Sword Master sword.

Since the end of the Battle of Mount Hyjal, Grom has not taken full action for a long time. At most, he only teaches the inattentive recruits during daily training.

Everyone knew that his strength was declining, but no one knew to what extent.

Due to the continuous changes, Azuka's mentality at this time was unstable. She was eager to reverse the situation, rebuild her majesty in the minds of her followers, and prevent her dominance from being shaken.

When Grom realized that Azuka had chosen to attack irrationally, he rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"clang!"

The Gorehowl battle ax easily withstood the frontal slash of the Sword Master's sword. Even though Azuka's sword was burning with evil flames, Grom, who had experienced many battles, showed a surprised expression.

"The new Shadow Council? Haha~"

With a sarcastic expression, Grom used his skill to deflect Azuka's long knife.

"I didn't expect that after the orcs had gone through so many hardships under the influence of demons and warlocks, there would still be people who missed the dark age when they were fooled around by others."

Grom knew what he was doing, and he knew his physical condition better than anyone.

Nowadays, Grom's strength has indeed declined severely due to his old age and the impact of many recurring injuries.

But what has declined the most is not his fighting skills and fighting will, but his physical strength.

Simply put, Grom's physical strength can no longer support him to wield Gorehowl like he did when he was young.

After more than two years of adjustments, Grom gradually figured out a fighting method that was more suitable for his aging state - to defend and wait for attack.

At his peak, Grom's fighting style was aggressive and wild, and few could withstand his all-out combos.

When fighting Azuka, Grom showed an uncharacteristically motionless attitude.

He no longer resorted to attacking like before, but instead adopted the most energy-saving method, using the smallest possible movements to perfectly defend or dodge Azuka's impetuous attacks.

Although the long swords in the hands of sword masters are very big, they are indeed agile professions.

Azuka's single attack is not very powerful, at least not to Grom, but her attack frequency is far higher than that of warriors of the same level.

If you don't understand the Fire Blade Sword Masters, you can easily lose your fighting rhythm under their wind-like offensive and become exhausted.

This is not the first time that Grom has fought against the Fire Blade Sword Master. Not to mention the distant Dahl Triple Blood Blade, his recent many battles with Samuro have reminded him of the memories of the original battle.

That's right, Go'el and Grom had long expected that Azuka might jump over the wall and bring up Makgora to try to make a comeback, and there was a high probability that she would choose the old and frail Grom as a breakthrough.

Therefore, Grom began to compete with Samuro as early as half a month ago to understand the sword master's moves and fighting habits.

It is true that Azuka's fighting style is different from Samuro's. It incorporates a lot of his own unique understanding, and even adds evil flames to the long sword.

However, this fancy little trick was of no use to Grom, who had killed countless demons.

Usually, the attacking side consumes more energy, while the defending side, which is waiting for work, can often save a lot of energy as long as it does not lose its fighting rhythm.

After a round of attacking to no avail, Azuka had to take a few steps back to recover.

After some venting attacks, the hot-headed Azuka gradually calmed down.

Just as it happened, Makgora's rule restrictions also expired with the end of the first round of fighting. Azuka took advantage of the situation and launched the Wind Step to escape into the shadows, wandering around Grom who was still staying in place, looking for opportunities to make a surprise attack.

Samuro, who was watching the battle, looked at Grom's feet thoughtfully, and said with emotion: "He is worthy of being the best warrior of the orcs who fought on the battlefield. Sure enough, he is still hot with age."

After Samuro's reminder, the warriors of the Warsong clan noticed that Grom had not moved his feet much since the beginning of the battle, and he left very few footprints on the battlefield.

But Azuka is just the opposite. Her messy footprints can be seen everywhere on the soil of Orgrimmar. From this alone, people can intuitively judge the strength of the two... or rather Mentality and experience gap.

Samuro calmly gave his own evaluation: "There was no suspense in this Makgora from the beginning. The impetuous Azuka will definitely lose, and she won't be able to hold on for long, and she will soon be separated. Win or lose.”
