A thousand years of peace had brought about many things.
For example, prosperity and numbness.
The bustling life in the city made everyone like flowers in a greenhouse that could not withstand any wind and rain. Once a gust of wind called Orcs broke the glass window of the greenhouse, they would wither or even wither.
In the 'history', even if Lothar made a shocking concession and sacrificed the glory of his ancestors, he personally admitted that the era of Great Emperor Thoradin was over, and he acknowledged the royal authority of the kings. It still took more than three months to complete the integration of the alliance.
It was only after the Orcs bypassed the Stormgard Kingdom's Sador Bridge defense line and invaded the hinterland of the various kingdoms in the northern continent from the sea that the kingdoms came to their senses.
Note that the "kingdoms" here did not include the Rotterdam Kingdom. The Rotterdam Kingdom, which had the strongest economic and military strength, was almost the last to be attacked because of its geographical location in the north.
For a long time, the Rotterdam Kingdom was in a state of local war. They would just spend some money and troops, and then it would not affect them. The nobles sang and danced, and watched the beasts fight. When the battle at the frontline was at its most intense, the bastard nobles even went to the Terenas Kingdom every day to complain that Lothar was a vampire, which consumed too much of their taxes and manpower.
What Duque wanted to do was to awaken the lion. Even if it was old, it was still a lion.
Laing and Andoine glanced at Duque.
They did not know what Duque was up to, but Duque must have done something.
It was because Duque had said that he would use a new method to stimulate a certain king's nerves.
What the hell was this "new method"? Laing and Andoine felt that something was amiss as soon as they heard it. However, they still acquiesced to Duque after the negotiations were not going anywhere.
The representatives of the various kingdoms did not stop criticizing the Stormwind. The representative of the Gilneas Kingdom pointed at the head of the frozen chief, Blackhand, and mocked King Laing. "You said this is the head of the chief of those green-skinned monsters? Maybe this guy is a little big, but who can prove that this is their leader? Didn't you say that they were all intelligent monsters? Why would their leader come to you and let you chop off his head? Stop joking, no king would easily stand at the frontlines. Why would the Beastmen, who clearly have the upper hand, send a Great Chieftain for you to kill? "
"You!!" Noxus was enraged. He had risked his life to kill Black Hand. Now, it was actually reduced to worthless!?
Duke, however, stopped Lothar and turned to the representative of Gilness with a smile. "How about this, the army of our Stormwind Kingdom will go to the battlefield at the same time as your army. You can take this big head and shake it in front of the tribe. Let's see who the green-skinned creatures will chase.
"You …" Gilness's representative suddenly stood up, wanting to ridicule Duque, but at this time, something happened …
Just yesterday, before Duque and his entourage arrived at Lordaeron City, an unfamiliar slave trader presented a batch of special gifts to Menethil II and requested an audience with the king.
Everyone knew that the king of Lordaeron would not simply meet with a slave trader who came out of nowhere.
If it wasn't for the fact that the slave trader's gifts were good enough, even a person of status would not have appeared.
In the end, it was a viscount of Lordaeron who received the slave trader.
The merchant repeatedly told the viscount who met him that this batch of goods needed to be injected with a tranquilizer made from the [Peacebloom] as the main medicine every 12 hours. Otherwise, the existing restraints and cages would not be able to hold them. The slave trader even sent a formal notice in the form of a document through formal diplomatic channels.
This slave trader was obviously someone's subordinate. However, as someone expected, the slave trader's reasonable request was ignored, and all of the slave trader's warnings were ignored.
This was the arrogance of Lordaeron, the most powerful of the seven kingdoms.
Arrogance was also a common problem among the nobles of Lordaeron.
More than a thousand years ago, it was the ancestors of these arrogant nobles who transferred their property to the more prosperous Lordaeron region, leaving the descendants of Thoradin The Great to die in the ruined Rapidstream Castle.
No one would have thought that more than a thousand years later, they would also pay a terrible price for their arrogance.
After this point in time, the Lordaeron Kingdom would perish because of the arrogance and stubbornness of King Terenas. Duque had no intention of stopping this, but the Lordaeron Kingdom was still extremely powerful at this point in time, and Duque did not mind using the arrogance of the people of Lordaeron to make them suffer a little.
"Dang dang dang —" The alarm that symbolized the invasion of foreign enemies had not sounded for a thousand years in this pure white city that was also regarded as a holy city by countless people.
When the loud and shrill alarm rang, no one in the entire Lordaeron Kingdom reacted. Almost everyone was stunned for more than three seconds. Only the most dutiful guards realized after a few seconds that it was a f * cking alarm!
All of a sudden, the entire Lordaeron was in an uproar.
The representative of Gilness, who was about to scold them, was stunned.
As the leader of this place, Menethil II, who thought that he was the noblest among the seven kings, could not help but be furious. His white beard flared up, and he stared at his servant with his old eyes. "Quickly go and find out what happened. Why did you sound the alarm!? "
The trouble was at the arena.
In this era of lack of entertainment, bloody and exciting gladiatorial competitions were the most attractive entertainment, second to none. There were countless gladiatorial arenas of all sizes in the entire northern continent.
Just like Thrall, who was the son of the chief of the Frostwolf Clan, Durotan, Thrall was picked up by a human after Durotan was assassinated by the assassins of the Shadow Council. After that, Thrall was raised as a slave gladiator for a long time.
On the surface, the entire Lordaeron Kingdom did not care about the invasion of the Orcs.
In fact, the slave gladiators of the Orcs were definitely in high demand and were the most popular "goods" in the Lordaeron Kingdom.
A healthy Orc slave warrior could be sold for more than 10,000 gold coins recently.
Be it the nobles of the Lordaeron Kingdom or the black-hearted owners of the gladiatorial arenas, none of them could resist this temptation.
There were 100 Orcs, and they were all elites of the Blackstone Clan. There were even a few personal guards of Blackhand. In order to collect these Orcs, someone had put in a lot of effort.
After the effects of the Mind-Calming Potion on the Orcs wore off, they heard a voice.
It was in the Orc language. This voice told them that the head of their chief was in the highest castle, and it was being wantonly humiliated and displayed by the humans.
"Revenge!"
"Revenge!"
"Revenge —"
Driven by their frenzied thoughts, the Orcs easily broke free from the iron shackles that were as thick as a human baby's arm, broke the iron bars of the cage, and charged out …
