Warcraft novel series
Chapter 9
It was already after the Winter Veil Festival when I saw Blackmoore again. When Xavier followed Alsace to inspect Durnholde again, Blackmoore still came out to greet him. These years have not been easy for him, either physically or because of the hands of fate. Although the dashing and handsome commander back then was overly addicted to spirits, he at least had a bottom line. Now, Blackmoore's hair was streaked with gray, he had gained a lot of weight, and his eyes were bloodshot. Fortunately, he was sober as a frozen stone now. Blackmoore messed things up very badly today. Somehow, Thrall, his proud orc gladiator, escaped Durnholde during the fire. Blackmore kept silent and sent people to conduct a small-scale search in private. But the disappearance of such a large green-skinned orc could not be covered up for long. As soon as the news came out, naturally rumors spread - some said that his rivals in the arena deliberately let the orcs go in order to win money; some said that a jealous mistress deliberately embarrassed him; some said that a group of smart people The orcs did it, and they didn't suffer from the disease of laziness - no, no, it should have been Orgrim Doomhammer himself; some people said it was a dragon, which turned into a human and mixed in, lighting it up with dragon's breath. Fire.
How could Terenas not know about such a big thing, so he sent Prince Alsace to see what was going on. Of course, Xavier also followed him. At this time, Xavier was already gone. The easily ridiculed bumpkin, Blackmore was on pins and needles about his situation."It's bad enough that you're smart enough to train an orc to be a gladiator," Arthas asked."You also teach him military strategy, teach him to read and write... I have to ask you, Lieutenant General... In the name of the Holy Light, you What are you thinking about?" Blackmore frowned and braced himself."It's such an unfortunate thing that Thrall escaped. I'm sure you understand how I feel." Xavier almost couldn't help laughing when he saw Blackmoore's funny performance. Arthas couldn't bear to see Blackmoore in front of him like an eggplant beaten by frost, but he still had to continue what his father had told him.
"I hope this isn't a bad sign. We use the people's hard-earned money, Lieutenant General, to protect people's safety. Do you want me to send a representative to make sure the funds are properly allocated? Blackmore could hardly resist Arthas's severe interrogation,"No, no, no, it's not necessary." I will report on the use of every penny.""Yes, I believe you will." Alsace pretended to be gentle and motioned for Blackmoore to step back. Naturally, the unfortunate guy left as if he was running away. When
Alsace saw Blackmoore leaving, he asked Xavier,"We have all seen it. He is bigger than Thrall, and he is very brave in fighting. But it's clear that he's also very smart. And he's well-trained. If a guy like this escapes, he'll get into big trouble.""Yes, there are plenty of rebellious orcs out there who may not be as jaded as the orcs we imprison. If Thrall finds them and teaches them everything he knows, we'll be in trouble. Xavier had the same worries, but he didn't want to talk too much about these national affairs."Prince Arthas heard that you seemed to have broken up with Jaina, is that true?""Alsace didn't expect Xavier to ask this. After a moment of silence, he answered,"Yes, I don't want to say the reason."Arthas couldn't explain clearly to others - nor to himself - why he had to end his relationship with Jaina."Let's go back, my father is still waiting for my report."Alsace was obviously avoiding something. Xavier didn't want to embarrass his friend. He looked back at Durnholde. This may be the last time he comes here, and it may also be the last time he sees Blackmoore. Xavier is a little He said sadly,"On my way there, let's go see Wuwei's grave. I haven't been there for a long time. I want to see it."""Okay," Arthas didn't say much.
The escape of the orc Thrall indeed set off a series of events. The orcs, who had been depressed for a long time, rose again under the leadership of Thrall. Although they were destroyed during a rescue of their fellow orcs, Hammer died in battle, but that did not prevent Thrall from becoming the new leader of the orcs. A new force was rising. When they captured Durnholdemoor, Blackmoore's powerless roar finally tasted its own consequences, and Thrall's sword was deeply It stabbed deeply into his chest. Death may be the best punishment for his greedy life.
When Xavier received the news, Arthas was reporting the matter to his father, as the archbishop's spokesperson. Xavier now has too many rights to participate in national affairs. Even though he has no interest in national affairs, he still comes."Father, I have said it before, the decline of the orcs is their disguise, and now it is finally exposed." His true face. Varian of Stormwind City has agreed to raise an army to attack the orcs, why haven't you expressed that yet? When Arthas mentioned the orcs, he thought of the orc war, and Varian's painful eyes and tone became particularly excited. Terenas was silent for a while, then looked up and saw Xavier and said hurriedly,"Xavier is here, please tell me about your attitude towards the orcs." Faced with the sudden ball, Xavier was a little overwhelmed,"Sorry, King Terenas, I cannot comment on the orc war, but the plague has been prevalent in the northern part of the kingdom recently. I hope you can send more priests to rescue." As for Xavier Gu's performance, Al Sass glared at Xavier, who did not respond to Alsace. As a priest, he hated war, but he could not refute Alsace face to face.
King Terenas finally spoke after a moment of thinking,"Arthas, I allow you and Uther to lead the Holy Knights of the Silver Hand to eliminate the orcs, but other armies cannot be used. The matter of the northern plague will be left to the Archbishop. Go with Xavier to deal with it, and hope to hear news of your triumphant return." Although Alsace was slightly disappointed with this result, it was still acceptable. Not long after, they organized the army and started the journey. It's just that Xavier still had inexplicable worries about the war, but he didn't say it out loud.
However, everything is not that simple."The legendary hero Tirion Fordring, the paladin of the Silver Hand, actually helped a man who defended an orc and even hurt his own men. If Barthilas hadn't reported to his father in time, The king reported this and I really can't believe it is true." Alsace told Xavier. Xavier couldn't believe this was true. He had met Fording during the ceremony when Arthas joined the Silver Hand. He was a tough and upright man and the most loyal servant of the Holy Light. Why would he help the orcs? The facts are so clear and irrefutable. Xavier asked helplessly,"What have you decided to do with Fording?"""We will convene the trial of Tirion Fordring in Stratholme. There will be Lord Admiral Daelin Proudmoore of Kul Tiras, Archmage Antonidas of Dalaran, and Archbishop Alon'su. Si Faol, Uther the Lightbringer, and of course myself will also be participating in this trial. If Fording can put all the blame on the orcs, I think we will let him go. After all, he is also a veteran paladin."Alsace said with some regret. He was shocked that Old Fording made such a mistake."I hope so."Xavier really wanted to ask Archbishop Alonsus to plead for mercy, but he didn't know Fordring at all, and the Archbishop would definitely not agree.
The trial in Stratholme went on as scheduled, but what everyone didn't expect was Tirion. Fording actually interceded for an orc. He not only took all the responsibilities, but also hoped to let the orc go."Etrigg, what kind of magic did the orc named Eitrigg cast on old Fording? The orcs are not ours. Enemies, what glory do you say to those beasts!"Alsace roared in an aura. Xavier wanted to know what exactly happened, but unfortunately Alsace couldn't say anything. He had already returned to the palace angrily, and the archbishop who returned later only said that Uther Deprived of the Holy Light of Old Fordring.
After waiting for a long night, the trial of Old Fordring was finally made, depriving Tirion Fordring of his lordship and banishing him forever."Is this the end of a paladin? ," Xavier said to himself. What made Xavier even more angry was that the council finally made the decision to hang the orc Eitrigg. Of course, Xavier had no right to change the decision, but he still found Arthas."Alsace Prince Si, since Tirion Fordring has been punished, why do you still want to hang the orc? Eitrigg, shouldn't we see that Fording gave up everything just for the determination of that orc and spared his life?""Xavier, what's wrong with you? Don't you think those damn orcs have humiliated us enough? I hope this is just your temporary nonsense. It would be too easy for him to just hang him. I would rather chop off his head with my own hands."Arthas' hatred of the orcs made Xavier completely silent. At this moment, he was hoping that a miracle would happen and Eitrigg could escape death. Maybe this was because of his soft heart. He thought that even if Orcs also have their right to survive. Even if they have made mistakes, who will believe them?
A miracle finally happened. Tirion Fordring rushed into the court for his glory and was ready to let go for his friend Eitrigg. After a fight, just when he was about to lose his strength and was about to despair, Thrall appeared. The new leader of the tribe led the orcs to rescue Eitrigg. For their glory, Thrall did not give up his companions. Although Altha at that time Si roared and yelled loudly again, Fording was stubborn, but Xavier felt relieved in his heart, and his wish for peace was finally realized.
