However, compared to everyone doing their own job, it would be too unorcish of a fortress that gathers millions of orcs not to have some fun!
Therefore, fights and wrestling are commonplace here, some between members of the same clan, and others between clans with grudges against each other.
However, even in the duel, due to the orders of the Horde's Warchief Blackhand and Gul'dan, no one was killed.
However, this did bring a lot of amusement to the many orcs who were waiting in boredom.
"So many clans have arrived? My Frostwolf Clan, the Laughing Skull Clan, the Blackrock Clan... all the clans, big and small, have been summoned."
Among a group of green-skinned orcs, a brown-skinned orc suddenly appeared. He looked at the bustling scene inside the fortress and felt somewhat emotional.
"This will be an incredibly powerful legion! But how many will actually survive and be truly capable of fighting?"
Beside this brown-skinned orc was another brown-skinned orc, who snorted coldly while carrying a thick black warhammer.
It has to be said that among a group of green-skinned orcs, these brown-skinned orcs stood out like cranes among chickens.
However, upon seeing the two brown-skinned orcs, the surrounding orcs did not discriminate against them; on the contrary, they treated them with great respect.
"Chieftain of Durotan, Orgrim's Lieutenant!"
The orcs around them called out the two men's names.
Durotan? Orgrim?
These two orcs are truly renowned!
Chieftain of the Frostwolf Clan in Durotan. Many people might be confused by this title, but all you need to know is that he is the father of the famous Thrall!
In addition, he was the first chieftain to see through Dog Egg's conspiracy and led the Frostwolf Clan to refuse to consume demon blood and follow the ancient shamanic ways, although with little effect.
As for Orgrim? Right now, he's just the lieutenant of Blackhand, the Warchief of the old Horde, and seems a bit low-key, but in the original timeline, his fame was second only to Thrall.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that without him, it's uncertain whether Thrall could have become Warchief!
The last great chieftain of the old tribe, a powerful warrior, a brilliant military strategist, a charismatic leader, and a backstabber and the one who was backstabbed.
In the original Azeroth timeline, during the first Orc War, his outstanding strength and genius-level military command caused the Alliance a great deal of trouble.
If it weren't for Dog Egg's backstabbing, which wiped out all the spellcasters of the old tribe, perhaps the seven kingdoms of the Alliance would have been renamed the seven clans.
However, at present, he is merely the lieutenant of Blackhand, the puppet chieftain of the Old Horde, and a friend of Durotan. He has not yet killed Blackhand and become the chieftain of the Old Horde.
Durotan remained noncommittal to Orgrim's words, simply continuing to follow in Orgrim's footsteps, observing the fortress before him and the clan warriors sweating profusely.
His eyes were filled with a lingering worry. The green-skinned orcs before him were all powerful warriors, with hardly any weaklings among them.
Yet their eyes betrayed a brutal bloodlust and a contempt for tradition. Most importantly, a repulsive aura was spreading relentlessly throughout the old tribe…
"Black Hand, are you all ready? I finally managed to get the tribe through the toughest part, and now we're just one step away from the plan!"
Dog Egg leaned on a bone staff that was even larger than his hunched body in one hand, and held an iron chain in the other. The chain bound an orc female slave, though she was not quite an orc female slave.
Compared to the female orc's ferocious face and strong body, her features appeared somewhat delicate and not particularly strong.
"Everything is ready, Gul'dan, just waiting for your command!"
Blackhand, the Great Chieftain of the Old Horde, is a ferocious, weathered warrior who, having drunk the blood of demons, is undoubtedly the most transformed of all the orcs.
Although his skin hadn't yet turned blood-red like the later evil orcs, his body had grown several grotesque bone spurs.
He responded to Gou Dan's question immediately.
Those who are close to him know their own situation. Although he is a majestic chieftain of the old tribe in public, his position as chieftain would be shaky if he lost the support of Dog Egg and his Shadow Council.
Therefore, in front of a few people, he was quite respectful to Gou Dan.
Dog Egg didn't feel much about Black Hand's respect. Black Hand was respectful to him in front of a few people, and he had to be respectful to Black Hand in front of most people.
Even though the orcs of the old tribes, under his influence, mostly drank the blood of demons, making them more bloodthirsty and powerful, they also became more predatory and ruthless.
Those million greenskinned orcs could allow Dog Egg and his warlocks to have a transcendent status, just as the shamans once had.
But Dog Egg wants to be the Great Chief? They'll be the first to object!
Even though Dog Egg learned evil energy and his strength skyrocketed, he was still hunched over and skinny!
Tall and muscular, that's the mark of a true strongman. Only someone like that can become a chieftain. Go cool off somewhere else, you dog egg!
Therefore, the relationship between Gou Dan and Hei Shou has always been in a Schrödinger's cat state. Hei Shou is the puppet chieftain supported by Gou Dan, but Gou Dan sometimes has to obey Hei Shou's orders.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
"Woooooooo..."
"Boom boom boom!"
Upon seeing someone pass by, and not a fierce orc, the draenei imprisoned in the cage immediately began to struggle.
A Draenei woman desperately reached out and grabbed the orc female slave's hand, pleading with her.
"What did she say?"
Seeing Garona suddenly stop, Gou Dan turned around and asked.
"...She begged you to spare her child!"
Garona paused for a moment before translating.
"But he can't be missing, not a single one can be missing! Tell her!"
Dog Egg suddenly felt a mischievous urge and shouted at Garona.
"..."
Garona remained silent for a long time, without saying a word, but instead pried open the Draenei woman's hands and followed Dog Egg.
Seeing that Garona wasn't translating, Gou Dan didn't say anything either, just continued forward, leaning on his bone staff.
"Ohh Ohh ohh……"
Not long after, a deep and rhythmic horn sounded.
Whether they were orcs performing their duties or fighting, they all put down their work and gathered at the fortress gate.
The gates of this fortress look solemn and majestic, with a touch of mystery.
Its height is extremely tall; even orcs, who are over two meters tall on average, appear tiny in its presence. The gate is at least fifty meters high.
On either side of the gate stand two mysterious stone statues wearing hoods and holding swords in their hands. The height of the two statues is comparable to that of the gate.
Whether it's the gate or the stone statue, they all seem to be made of stone, but their sturdiness is completely different.
However, there was no need to dwell on it for long, as Gou Dan had already reached the high platform, facing thousands of orc warriors below.
"Wuhu!"
"Ouch!"
The orc warriors below were extremely excited at the sight of Gou Dan, for Gou Dan had not only secured a new home for them, but would also bring them countless honors.
"Boom boom boom!"
Dog Egg glanced at the fanatical, bloodthirsty orcs below and slammed his bone staff against the platform a few times.
Instantly, the frenzied orc army fell silent, ready to listen to Dog Egg's speech.
"My magic comes from life, and the lives of these slaves are only enough for me to teleport our most powerful tribal warriors there."
But that's enough. The enemy is utterly vulnerable. Once we get there, we'll use them as sacrifices.
"Once we get there, we'll build a new portal and teleport our entire tribe there!"
Dog Egg's speech was not particularly impressive. Compared to a certain failed painter, it was no different from a leader's speech. But for these fanatical, bloodthirsty green-skinned orcs, it was just right!
"Waaagh!"
"Ouch!"
As soon as Dog Egg finished his speech, the orcs below the platform erupted in howls, their eyes burning with a bloodthirsty light, eager to enter the Dark Portal and cut off the heads of their enemies.
Looking at the bloodthirsty orcs below the stage, Dog Egg didn't say any nonsense. He directly mobilized the fel energy in his body and used the Soul Drain skill on the draenei who were bound in cages on both sides.
"Ahhh!"
"Wow wow wow!"
Instantly, the Draenei people let out a chorus of wails and screams, as souls were drawn from their blue bodies and gathered in Dog Egg's hands.
Then Dog Egg immediately poured the thousands of souls in his hands into the Dark Gate.
"Whoosh!"
After the Dark Portal was infused with energy, it immediately spewed out terrifying green fel energy. After the fel energy merged, what was originally a high peak behind the Dark Portal suddenly became a completely new world!
A brand new world, free from desolation and evil pollution, teeming with green life!
"Waaaagh!"
After a roar, the fanatical warriors of the old tribes gripped their weapons and charged toward the new world where the Dark Portal was located!
Chapter 140 Nighttime Talks
"Honestly, we only intended to use Lanalita as a transit point."
As a result, Liu Yu and twenty-seven generals of the Han Empire simply wiped out the three leaders.
Life is truly unpredictable; it's like the large intestine enclosing the small intestine!
After resting for a day in Lanalita, Liu Tianyu led his troops away from Lanalita.
Since the system has determined that Lanarita has been conquered by him, Lanarita is now within the system's jurisdiction.
At this moment of great agonizing uncertainty, Liu Yu volunteered to stay and guard Lanarita for him, to be a thorn firmly planted there as a stepping stone for his future entry into the Kingdom of Geolar.
Based on all the information from the Emerald Eye, Liu Tianyu decided without hesitation to grant Lanarita to him as his territory and have him stay there to guard it.
The reason is quite simple. First, Lanarita is essentially a lawless city. As long as you pay your taxes honestly, the Kingdom of Geolar will definitely not bother with you.
Secondly, aside from lacking special abilities, Liu Yu and the generals of the Han Empire had long since broken through the so-called limiters.
Liu Tianyu wanted to see just how much trouble they could stir up by having them recruit soldiers and garrison here!
"My lord, do you trust this man named Liu Yu so much? Or do you intend to use him as part of some plan?"
Not only did they seize Lanarita without hesitation, but they also directly granted him the kingdom. I'm truly puzzled!
Just as Liu Tianyu was casually riding his horse at the front, Akavi couldn't help but ride up and ask in a low voice.
In his view, occupying Lanarita was far too radical, and allowing the newly joined Liu Yu to become the lord of Lanarita was even more lacking in judgment.
"Alright, Uncle Akavi, I know what you're thinking. Liu Yu and those twenty-seven warriors were summoned by the God Emperor from other worlds to help me. You don't need to be so suspicious!"
As for the plan, there are indeed some, and I believe he will definitely do a good job. Perhaps when we come to the Kingdom of Geolar next time, we will reap a great harvest.
After all, their strength is undeniable. Uncle Akavi, are you confident you can defeat a general of the Han Empire?
Seeing Akavi's usual worried expression, Liu Tianyu shrugged and gave his answer.
"...To be honest, I really don't have the confidence to defeat the general of the Great Han Empire. Rather, I would say that I'm already at my limit if I can last five rounds without being defeated."
I didn't sense any magic or power of faith from their bodies, yet their strength far surpassed the limits that humans could reach.
"My lord, could it be that they all possess powerful bloodlines?"
Akavi was quite nonchalant about Liu Tianyu's question, but then he couldn't help but start imagining things.
"..."
Liu Tianyu looked at the imagined Akavi, his eyes narrowed slightly, and remained silent. After all, he couldn't very well say that they were actually units he had created for fun in the game.
As for Liu Yu... Liu Tianyu couldn't help but recall the events of last night.
"His Majesty!"
In the dead of night, only Liu Tianyu and Liu Yu remained at Liu Tianyu's temporary residence.
Actually, Liu Tianyu didn't want to be alone with a man, but given Liu Yu's luxurious appearance and his insistence, Liu Tianyu had no choice but to be alone with him and wanted to hear what he had to say.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yu, who had always been extremely indifferent in front of everyone and had a blank expression, immediately knelt down on both knees and shouted "Your Majesty!" to Liu Tianyu.
"Huh? Get up! There's no need for such a grand gesture. Besides, I'm neither a king nor an emperor. Please refrain from using the title 'Your Majesty,' lest it cause me trouble!"
Seeing Liu Yu suddenly kneel down and call him "Your Majesty," Liu Tianyu's lips twitched slightly, and then he prepared to pull Liu Yu up.
As a result, even when Liu Tianyu used all his strength, he couldn't budge this guy an inch.
