Before he heard the voice, Orgrim had already prepared a script in his mind to give an impassioned speech.
"The humans slandered us for being barbaric, bloodthirsty, cannibalistic, and massacring, but it was actually the remnants of the Southern Kingdom that spread the rumors …"
He could brag however he wanted, as long as the humans did as he wanted and started a peasant uprising in the Hillsbrad Hills. This would hold back the troops and attention of the Stormwind and Dalaran Kingdoms so that the main force of the Horde could successfully take down Lordaeron.
As for what would happen to the people of Alterac, Orgrim couldn't be bothered to care.
He had hoped countless times that his opponent would be a straightforward warrior. Only then would he be able to show off his and the Orcs' bravery. It was a pity that apart from Lothar, who seemed to have the courage to fight head-on, he only met Duke from the start to the end. In the eyes of the Beastmen, Duke was extremely despicable, but it was undoubtedly a very effective strategy to kill the Beastmen.
Since the human commander was so despicable, Orgrim didn't mind using the same method to deal with the humans.
Conquering a human kingdom without shedding a drop of blood! Even if it was the smallest human kingdom. This achievement was exactly what Orgrim, who was in desperate need of glory, needed. He needed this achievement to prove himself. After all, the continuous defeats had tarnished his reputation.
When Orgrim met the messenger, he was afraid that it was a trap, but he also wanted to control Alterac. That was why he mobilized so many powerful chiefs and heroes, and even used Zuluhid's Dragon Knights to hold the fort.
Everything went smoothly, and he easily subdued that sly and cunning king. But he didn't expect to hear the voice that he didn't want to hear the most — the voice of the Alliance's Vice Commander, Duke Marcus.
Not only did Orgrim's expression change, but Eden and Haas's expressions also changed. As people who had dealt with Duque many times, they could obviously recognize Duque's voice. But they didn't expect Duque's voice to come from Duke Barov.
'Duke Barov' straightened his body. His face was full of mockery and confidence.
Under everyone's astonished gazes, a wave of water-like ripples appeared on his body. The slightly plump elderly figure quickly disappeared, revealing a robust young man dressed in a blue and white robe.
Illusion?
How was this possible!?
It wasn't just the inexperienced Orcs, even the upper echelons of Alterac were shocked.
They could accept the fact that Duque had fooled them with his perfect makeup.
It wasn't that the nobles hadn't seen illusions before, but those crude and immobile illusions were worlds apart from Duque's lifelike illusions. The most common type of illusion was the kind that attempted to conceal a certain secret passage. When had he ever seen an illusion with so many facial expressions?
Just how high was Duque's attainments in magic as a mere Morning Star?
What's more, Duque's appearance at the most critical moment made them have no choice but to add the word 'inconsolable' to their 'shock', turning it into 'inconsolable'.
Orgrim was decisive!
Not only was he wise in history, he was also an absolute opportunist. Playing dirty was definitely the chief's specialty.
In this life, Duque didn't give him the chance to sneak up on the Blackhand Great Chief. However, that didn't mean that Orgrim wasn't sinister.
Without even a greeting, Orgrim gave a look and a Sword Saint of the Fireblade Clan came out of stealth, slashing at the back of Duque's neck with a sharp longsword. At the same time, Orgrim used Charge, his burly reddish-brown body turning into a blinding ray of light as he charged at Duque.
That's right! He wanted to kill Duque in an instant!
He wanted to nip Duque, the biggest factor of instability, in the bud.
After all, everyone present was a human, and his men had yet to completely control the palace. If Duque, the vice commander of the Alliance, was allowed to raise his arm here, things would definitely develop in a direction that was disadvantageous to the tribe.
However, he had miscalculated.
Under the fierce attack of his giant hammer, it missed and clashed with the longsword of the Fireblade Clan's Sword Saint in mid-air. The Sword Saint who was hurriedly retracting his attack was sent flying.
Duque, who was supposed to be killed between the hammer and the longsword, turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the air.
Or was it an illusion?!
Not good!
Orgrim suddenly reacted and used his fastest speed to turn his neck towards Samuro, who was controlling the king of Eden. Unfortunately, before he could shout "be careful", Samuro was already hit.
Fast!
Too fast!
No one expected Duque to be this decisive.
The moment he appeared, Duke had already disappeared from where he stood. The Sorcerer's Arcane Spell [Invisibility] gave Duque the ability to become invisible for a short period of time. The Sorcerer's [Invisibility] did not have the stealth and movement acceleration ability of the Sword Saint's [Wind Step]. However, Duque had been strengthened by the Storm Altar.
The system notification in Duque's retina showed the following information:
"You have used the new skill [Gale Step]. You can enter Invisibility for up to 60 seconds. In Invisibility, you can gain twice the movement speed and use [Flash] once without breaking the Invisibility. When you make your first ice attack, your critical hit rate is 100% and your magic flying speed is increased by 50%. "
Duque's movement speed was not fast. In this state, Duque could run 100 meters in 10 seconds without any obstacles. Unfortunately, his agility was too low and he did not have good dynamic vision. This speed had to be discounted, especially in crowded places where it was easier to bump into them.
Even so, it was still very scary.
Du Ke raised his hand and cast an Ice Tornado in his invisible state, sending Samuro, who was caught off guard, flying.
Originally, Duke wanted to kill Samuro instantly. Unfortunately, a hero was a hero. Even when he was being ambushed, Samuro was still able to use the Mirror Image Spell in a split second in the eyes of bystanders.
The [Ice Tornado], which was strengthened by [Ice Shield] and [Icicle], if both hit, with the Sword Saint's high attack and low defense, it would not be strange to kill him instantly. However, Samuro's Mirror Image spell prevented Duque's Ice Tornado from being fully effective.
Even if it hit, it was only to the extent of hurting Samuro and sending him flying.
Of course, at the last moment, Duque used an ice wall to block Samuro's slash towards the Edden King, scaring the Edden King half to death.
In an instant, the situation reversed. It was Duque's turn to smile and put his hand on the Edden King's shoulder.
"For the Alliance!"
Duque shouted. Instantly, a group of killing gods charged in from the hall and the side door.
Orgrim's expression changed.
