Eden frowned as he listened to the servant's words. This wasn't within his expectations!
He ordered the guard, "Tell the tribe's envoy to wait for a while and arrange for them to be in the secret parlor. I'll meet them later."
What the king didn't expect was that the moment he finished speaking, a voice that sounded like a human's voice came from the entrance of the hall, "Didn't King Pierold decide to make Alterac the strongest member of the tribe? As a member of the tribe, there shouldn't be anything you need to hide from me, right? "
The 15-meter-tall, three-meter-wide door was kicked open. Accompanied by this rumble, a loud and clear commotion suddenly came from outside the huge castle, followed by the sound of countless giant birds flapping their wings in the wind.
The tribe's envoy appeared under everyone's panicked gaze.
What envoy? That was a joke.
No envoy would be as burly as this orc, emitting such a terrifying aura. He had reddish-brown skin that was different from most orcs, and he carried a huge black square hammer on his shoulder. The most frightening thing was that the hammer was stained with incomparably fresh flesh. With every step he took, a drop of blood or a small piece of flesh would fall from the hammer.
"Who … Who are you?!" For a moment, the king almost wanted to order his guards to kill him.
An orc had entered Alterac's palace, and if he was allowed to leave in such a dignified manner, it would be like mud falling on his pants. This was completely out of Eden's expectations. The consequence of this was that Alterac could only follow the tribe to the very end.
The huge orc grinned, revealing a mouthful of intimidating fangs. "Aiden Pirynold, didn't you send a messenger to pledge your loyalty to me? My subject, I'm only here to express my joy at receiving your loyalty. Is that wrong? "
The king's face turned pale, cold sweat drenching his luxurious clothes.
"Orgrim Doomhammer …" Eden's teeth chattered as a magical name leaked out from the cracks of his mouth.
Who would have thought that the Great Chief of the tribe would come to visit in person!
Was this a forced abdication or a showdown? Or was it both?
"Heh! Aiden, my loyal subject, thank you for your information. " Along with Orgrim's mocking words, a burly Orc beside Orgrim, who had a severed hand and had turned his hand into a giant toothed blade, threw out a head with a sinister smile.
"Ah! It was Chas Matt! King Menethil's personal court archmage! "Someone recognized the severed head.
At this moment, Eden felt that all the sweat he had shed had been frozen by the cold air.
It's over! It was all over!
He didn't expect that the tribe, which was supposed to be two days away from them, would organize a sneak attack. Now that even the Radiant Moon Mage leading the team had been killed, the mages from the Rotterdam Kingdom who had been arranged to camp at the north of the Shattered Ridge were probably dead.
Eden simply couldn't imagine how the tribe had managed to do all this without making a sound. However, it was clear that Orgrim's preemptive move had disrupted all his plans.
Now, he only had two choices left.
One was to resist and let Orgrim, who was already prepared, destroy his entire family.
The other was to keep his promise and let Alterac join the tribe, and then walk all the way to the dark side. In the future, he would either be destroyed by the victorious Alliance, or he would join the tribe and beg the tribe to give him a piece of meat after conquering the world.
In fact, it wasn't just Eden's subjects who were hesitating. Eden himself was also hesitant.
Even though Orgrim was considered a handsome man among the Beastmen, he was still too ugly and horrifying in the eyes of the humans.
Eden couldn't help but shiver when he thought about how he had to lower himself to work for such a terrifying fellow. He couldn't help but feel a wave of unwillingness rise from the bottom of his heart as he stared at those mottled, sharp teeth.
What if he could capture the chief of the tribe and use him as a hostage to prevent the tribe from attacking until the Alliance's reinforcements arrived?
If he succeeded, he, Eden Piraeus, would undoubtedly become a great hero of the Alliance and the savior of the human world. His Alterac's reputation would greatly increase, and it would become a powerful country on par with Lordaeron!
This idea was so tempting that it made Eden's heart palpitate. He couldn't help but glance at the royal guards who had already drawn their swords and were waiting by the side of the hall.
Dreams were beautiful, but reality was cruel.
Eden, who had tried to play both sides, didn't even get two seconds before his dream of being a hero was shattered mercilessly.
A green claw landed on his shoulder, the sharp tip of the claw pressing against Eden's artery. A huge, invisible figure appeared beside the king of Alterac.
"Ah!" Eden let out a low cry.
It was a Sword Sage of the Fireblade Clan.
He had the ability to become invisible, and he roamed the Alliance's command center all year round, killing many mid-level and low-level commanders. He was a notorious Sword Sage in the Alliance!
All of a sudden, everyone was stunned.
This mysterious green-skinned Sword Saint did not kill him immediately. Instead, he reached into King Eden's robes and took out the contract signed by all the nobles and generals in the kingdom. He then threw the contract to Orgrim who was standing at the entrance of the hall.
Everyone only saw a blur, and the contract was already in Orgrim's hands.
The chief opened it briefly, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. The entire Alterac had fallen into the hands of the Horde. Whether it was to be destroyed or used, it was all up to Orgrim.
"Thank you all for your loyalty to the Horde and to me. I can make this promise as the Great Chief of the Horde. When the Horde rules over the World of Azeroth, everyone here will automatically become the Horde's agents to control the human world. "
A slap in the face, a carrot in the mouth.
After intimidating them and controlling the situation, Orgrim cleverly adopted a more conciliatory approach.
Rule over the human world!
Below only one and above tens of thousands!
It had to be said that this promise was indeed a beautiful blueprint for the Alterac nobles who had suffered for a long time in the seven human kingdoms and had been ignored by the major countries for a long time.
At least they had something to look forward to!
All of a sudden, the eyes of the nobles lit up.
Right at this moment, a teasing voice suddenly sounded out.
"Yo, Orgrim, you're digging up the Alliance's foundation right in front of me. You really don't take me or the Alliance seriously!"
