Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 323: It’s Him
Chapter 323 - It's Him
"Is it Edmund Duke!?"
"It's Edmund Duke!"
"It's really Edmund Duke!"
Orcs are very stubborn. They value their own culture and heritage. Except for a few ambitious people, most orcs would rather fight a dragon than learn even one character of another language.
There are not many foreign names that ordinary orcs can remember.
90% of the orcs don't even know that trolls are called trolls, and often call them "thin ones" when necessary.
However, every orc remembered a nightmare name - Edmund Duke, and also remembered his blue flag with a tornado symbol.
Because this flag represents a terrifying myth that no orc hero has ever been able to break. This myth can be summed up in one sentence: the blood of 500,000 orcs.
From the fire in Elwynn Forest, to the burning of Stormwind City, to the massacre by warships flying the blue Stormwind flag while crossing the sea, to the two meat grinder battles in Southshore, and then to being fooled again and again in the Hinterlands.
Duke is the orcs' absolute nightmare!
Orcs often complain about warlocks using demonic powers, but in the eyes of most orcs, Duke is the real demon king.
According to rumors, Duke possesses endless magical powers and countless devil's hands that can unleash the flames of hell. He can destroy the heavens and the earth, blow up a planet with one move, and pierce the entire universe with two moves.
Anyway, most orcs are illiterate, and the more rumors spread, the more mysterious they become.
If Orgrim was in charge of the young men who had just come from the Dark Portal, he might have fooled them and asked them to give it a try.
Obviously, they are not.
The last elite of the Blackrock Clan, but also the survivors who had experienced several massacres by Duke. They could kill any kingdom in the world and the owner of any flag without hesitation, except the owner of this flag.
The previous chief and Warchief Blackhand is dead.
Nearly 60,000 Blackrock elites became Stormwind's burial victims.
...
Even the Blackfang Clan, which split from the Blackrock Clan, was badly defeated by an elemental giant princess who appeared out of nowhere in the recent Battle of Arathi Highlands, resulting in heavy casualties.
Almost every big victory of Duke was built on the pain of the Blackrock Clan.
In the Blackrock Clan, the name Duke, which is equivalent to the god of death, is circulated in every household.
The morale of the entire orc camp was declining at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Everyone lowered their heads and didn't even dare to look at the flag.
Orgrim, who had never drunk the demon's blood, maintained the orcs' natural brown-red skin, but at this moment his face was ashen.
He was furious at the fact that his fellow tribesmen were not doing well.
He also turned pale about another matter.
"Gul'dan! The female long-eared creature just now used the power of the Storm Altar?!" Orgrim grabbed Gul'dan in confusion and asked hurriedly.
Gul'dan glanced at it, lowered his head and replied, "That's right."
This time, what Orgrim felt was no longer anger towards his people, but a piercing coldness. It was as if, in that instant, the ethereal scythe of death passed directly past his majestic body like an unpredictable cold wind.
Everything that happened since landing in Sintland played over and over in his mind like a movie.
Orgrim suddenly felt like a ridiculous clown dancing in the palm of the devil's hand. He thought that it was a good move to attract new forces to join and then rush thousands of miles to attack the main city of the elves. Who knew that everything he did and every step he took was calculated by Duke. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
If the evidence wasn't obvious before, everything could be explained starting with cracking the rune stone.
Duke also coveted the power of the Rune Stone, but due to the good relationship between the elves and humans, he could not take the initiative to do this. So he used the orcs to destroy it first, and then took advantage of it himself.
The elves do not belong to the Alliance of Lordaeron. No matter how many elves die, it has nothing to do with him, a human, or the Alliance.
So he could watch from the perspective of a bystander as hundreds of thousands of elves were slaughtered by the coalition forces of them and the trolls until the elves could no longer hold on and surrendered.
Of course, the whole tribe bears the bad reputation.
The benefit obviously went to Duke!
Although Orgrim didn't know what Duke had fished out, it was obvious that Duke had gotten what he wanted, so at this moment he directly raised a flag to warn the Horde.
Zuluhed looked indifferent and muttered, "So what if that Duke is here? I don't believe he can save so many long-eared creatures by himself."
"Humph!" Orgrim snorted coldly, "Edmund Duke has nothing to do with the divine power that his monarch believes in. He can even burn down the main city of his own country. Why can't he burn down Long Ears' city when the Horde captures this city, and let us be buried with Long Ears?"
A guy who can be so cruel to himself must be even more cruel to others!
This principle seems to be very accurate.
It's a pity that Orgrim will never know that Duke's origin has nothing to do with Stormwind City!
Orgrim was in trouble. The Warchief hesitated.
Orgrim definitely had the deepest understanding of Duke's skill in defending the city. The voices of his compatriots who died wailing under the three-dimensional attack seemed to still echo in Orgrim's ears.
If Orgrim had the Horde army at hand and the supply line of the Dark Portal at his back, he could obtain a steady stream of orc reinforcements. Perhaps Orgrim really didn't believe in evil and wanted to fight Duke.
No matter what, destroying the capital of a race is a very morale-boosting thing.
That's assuming Duke didn't get involved.
Now the situation has changed greatly. Originally, Orgrim thought that even if Grom Hellscream's main force could not capture the capital of Lordaeron, the most powerful kingdom of mankind, they could still inflict heavy damage on the human coalition. Who would have thought that Grom's assault would be destroyed by a new type of flame weapon invented by Duke?
It just so happened that he learned this news only after he agreed to join Zul'jin in attacking the elves and stepped into Eversong Woods.
Grom couldn't break through with his own troops, he had to rely on his Blackrock Clan. So he didn't have the capital to waste time here. What's more, Duke's character of biting off a piece of meat from you even if he loses a lot of money is what gives Orgrim the most headache.
After considering all these, Orgrim decided that retreat was the only option. He would never have thought that if he really wanted to fight, Silvermoon City would not be able to withstand it...
"Notify Zul'Jin! Retreat!" the chief ordered.
