Chapter 505 The Legend of Bloodhowl
The ambassador from Undercity has arrived, bearing his credentials...
A group of figures cloaked in black and masked, certainly looked out of place under the glaring sunlight of the Kalimdor coastline...
This delegation, primarily composed of female undead, was led by the elite Royal Terror Guards, the personal guard of the Dark Queen. The ambassador himself was one of the archbishops of the Church of the Forgotten Shadow Priests, a religion that worships Queen Sylvanas as its god.
[Shadow of the Forgotten] Believe that the awakening of the Banshee Queen is the first free will born from the Forgotten.
There has long been a misconception that the undead can only be mutated from humans?
This is incorrect...
It was indeed the cult of the curse that initially spread the original undead plague, infecting a large number of civilians. Although human lifespan is short, their reproduction rate is astonishing. Ordinary undead creatures are not particularly powerful individually, but when necromancers control enough puppets that have no sense of pain or emotion to attack living beings, the scale of the disaster reaches the level of world destruction.
The Scourge scientists, through extensive experimentation and modification, combining necromancy and chemical agents, have long since created new undead species, including ogres and trolls, races that were already physically powerful.
In the Scourge's headquarters in the northern part of the Eastern Kingdoms of Naxxramas, Kel'Thuzad and his various necromancers, chemists, and death knights not only captured large numbers of humans, elves, and dwarves as experimental subjects, but also trolls, ogres, and even orcs were used as materials for the Scourge's transformation.
Although, so far, the Scourge does not have enough orc undead...
Perhaps it's because orcs who have drunk the blood of the abyss demon lord Mannoroth are not easily transformed into undead warriors; the latent shadow power within them seems to repel the power of death...
Perhaps it's because the demonic fel flames, imbued with destructive power, are inherently and mutually reinforcing with the piercing cold that represents death...
The fact is that shadow, death, and destruction are not one entity; they are related in a way similar to that between Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle, and Slaanesh... Although the Scourge was created by the Burning Legion as its minions, the orcs themselves existed before the undead Scourge, serving as the vanguard of the Burning Demons...
Orcs were once a powerful race favored by demons precisely because of their potential to suppress the draenei...
Even without drinking demon blood, orcs can kill gods... or rather, demons with sheer brute force!
There are precedents for all of these!
......
Not to mention that Broxigar, a veteran orc, once wounded Sargeras ten thousand years ago when he traveled through time...
The fighting spirit and strength displayed by a mortal aroused the interest of Kil'jaeden, the demon lord of the Burning Legion, in the orc race, thus beginning his plan to deceive and corrupt them.
The origins of the Dark Portal and the shattering of Outland into a fragmented world may well stem from the deliberate interference of the Time Dragonflight in history.
As a result, history not only remained unchanged, but also took on even more complex and multifaceted forms...
It could be considered a butterfly effect, different paths leading to the same destination...
Fate is cruel!
......
The veteran Broxigar, whose full name is Broxigar & Saurfang... nicknamed 'Red Axe,' is an orc warrior who wounded the Dark Titan with an oak axe...
He was High Overlord Saurfang's brother... He was also one of the few orcs, along with Orgrim & Doomhammer and Durotan & Frostwolf, who did not drink demon blood and accept the power of fel energy...
It could be said that the Saurfang family was of impeccable lineage, with generations of heroes, loyal and brave, yet they met such a foolish end—who could bear it...?
A cunning alliance writer...
Its heart is awkward!
This is considered the initial upper limit for orcs.
......
Grom Hellscream, the legendary hero and chieftain of the Warsong clan, once wielding Bloodhowl, slew the powerful abyss demon lord Manonos with a single blow...
Moreover, the earliest sword saints and powerful figures all came from the Warsong Clan...
The Warsong Clan is the most warlike of the orc clans, almost without exception.
Of course, Grom Hellscream also killed Cenarius, the forest god, after drinking demon blood and going berserk, which led to a blood feud between Thrall's new orcish tribe and the night elves.
Regardless, when Grommash and Grommash Hellscream slew the pit lord Mannoroth, they uttered the classic battle cry: "Orcs will never be slaves!"
He then died from his injuries...
Thrall erected a monument for him in Ashenvale.
Occasionally, someone remembers to visit the graves, where hordes of demonic minions still roam... The world has never known peace; demons continue to rage, and the shadow of war never truly fades...
The blood of orc heroes has stained the forests of Kalimdor.
Now one can find an herb containing Grom's Blood, which contains a mysterious and violent power... The two may be connected in some way, just like Khadgar's beard and Arthas's Tears, one perhaps containing arcane potential, the other a sacred elixir of frost power...
......
High Overlord Saurfang, representing the Warchief, welcomed the emissaries from Undercity...
A female archbishop clad in shadow priest robes...holding a dark bible...the banner of the [Shadow of the Forgotten] is a tattered female mask...behind the mask are engraved runes of a four-winged angel of death...
Somewhat like the Wagri, and also like a shadow of the Queen herself...
High Overlord Saurfang had heard of the "Shadows of Oblivion," but he knew little about these fanatical followers and servants of the Dark Queen, and had no desire to know more. He was currently forced to perform official duties.
The Shadow Priests were once devout followers of the Church of Holy Light, so it's reasonable that fallen angels serve as a symbol of the church...
They believed the Holy Light had betrayed them, and that only the Banshee Queen was their savior...
They proclaim that Her Majesty the Queen is the embodiment of death, the messenger of death, and that the Forgotten must pledge allegiance and seek revenge against the living to achieve true liberation and freedom... This in itself is a mad doctrine that opposes the world of the living...
In Undercity, not all the Forsaken have joined the Shadow of the Forsaken...
Those who join the Shadow of Oblivion generally demonstrate absolute loyalty and worship to the Queen, making them particularly difficult to deal with...
Brainless fans are a troublesome problem wherever they are.
......
In the hearts of orcs, only the ancestral spirits invoked by shamans can be considered a kind of pure faith... High Overlord Saurfang naturally finds it difficult to have a good impression of organizations similar to Gul'dan's Shadow Council.
In fact, the Forgotten Shadows have indeed had dealings with the Shadow Council... and their history is quite extensive...
Just as Ner'zhul, the first Lich King, was an old shaman of the Shadowmoon Clan and Gul'dan's teacher, he may also have been the first undead creature to descend upon Azeroth with a lich form...
Besides shadow priests, there are also many necromancers and undead mages in the Forgotten Shadows... Many of these necromancers, like the original orc warlocks and ogre magicians of the Shadow Council, practice demonic magic...
The two sides frequently exchanged ideas and sparred privately... The Shadow Council, the Royal Apothecary Association, and the Forgotten Shadows maintained close ties and secretly colluded...
Thrall and other leaders naturally knew a thing or two, but these less-than-honorable organizations were very important to the Horde's military strength.
Relying on traditional infantry to fight against the Alliance's superior ships, cannons, aircraft, tanks, firearms, and magic is clearly disadvantageous...
So even though he loathed the necromancers and shadow priests hiding under cloaks, High Overlord Saurfang still had to welcome the arrival of the Undercity Queen's ambassador... With a polite, fake smile, the old orc could only mutter to himself, "Damn politics... I'd rather discuss with an ogre how many eyes it has than discuss with these masked female ghosts whether or not to send troops to Northrend or Stranglethorn Vale..."
