Zuluhed gritted his teeth and said unconcernedly: "No one can go back to the past."
Orgrim spread his hands and said, "But I can leave my experience and insights to the next warchief, the one who can truly lead the Horde out of the world we are destined to destroy, the one who can truly lead the Horde to prosperity."
Zuluhed narrowed his eyes. "Are you going to commit suicide like a coward? Or are you going to give up leading us?"
"Neither. I want to leave as much vitality for the Horde as possible in my own way." Orgrim smiled mysteriously.
No one in this world knows what Orgrim's plan is, except one person - Duke.
Anduin Lothar, who was in charge of the army, had a disagreent with Duke for the first ti.
After retaking Stormwind City, Anduin rushed back to the main Alliance force in the north. However, when he received several reports from Elwynn Forest, he frowned deeply.
At this ti, hundreds of thousands of troops had been divided into two groups. The main force gathered in the barren land east of the Searing Gorge, preparing to advance head-on; the other group, consisting of only 50,000 people and mainly dwarves, gathered in the Loch Modan area where Ironforge is located, preparing to pass through the huge tunnel that the dwarves had built for countless years, directly through the belly of the mountain, and cooperate with the main force to enter the Searing Gorge.
Just when they were about to launch a full-scale attack, Anduin in the main camp in the Barrens thought for a long ti and decided to use magic to summon Duke directly.
Duke arrived as promised.
"What's the matter? Anduin, are you worried about the army I control in the direction of Stormwind?" Duke walked into the tent with a smile, but found that Anduin was the only one there.
Anduin's face was stern, which was unusual for him. "In Goldshire, in Blackwell, and near the Eastvale Lumberyard, my people have received reports that you allowed your n to massacre orc won and children."
Duke's heart skipped a beat. What was coming finally ca, but he did not regret it. "Really? I just asked every warrior to visit the settlent destroyed by the orcs and the remains of the won holding their babies who were chopped in half by the orcs with axes."
"You are stirring up hatred among the people against the orcs. I don't care about targeting orc warriors, but allowing the slaughter of orc won and children is not in line with the spirit of chivalry."
"First, please tell , why should we be kind to a barbaric race that has launched a genocide against humans? Second, if you insist on letting the orcs' won and children go, then ten or twenty years later, when a new batch of orcs grow up and raise their knives to slaughter humans again, what will you do? Do you want us to tell His Highness Varian, 'Oh, Your Highness, for the sake of chivalry, you must not kill the orcs' won and children. This will make it easier for those cubs to grow up and slaughter humans again.'"
Duke's words left Anduin speechless.
"Anduin, we are facing an extrely brutal and barbaric group of races. Don't forget that orcs, trolls, and ogres are all part of the Horde."
"But if we abandon the virtues that humans should have, then what is the difference between us humans and orcs!?" Anduin argued.
"Virtue is destined to be an ideal that cannot be achieved by everyone. I do not deny the spirit of chivalry, but I am a very practical wizard. I only recognize races and civilizations that can communicate with reason. Anduin, you can cancel my position as deputy commander of the Alliance, or even let Llane cancel my dukedom, but if you want to stop from clearing out the orcs, please bring 200,000 troops."
Duke's voice fell, and Anduin fell into a deep contradiction. Anduin knew very well that he could not let the Alliance let go of hatred. Most of the eleven countries in the Alliance had been abused by the Horde. How many humans died at the hands of the Horde?
However, allowing these alliance soldiers to seek revenge at will is not in line with the knight's oath.
Faced with Duke's strong opposition, Anduin knew that if he could not convince Duke, it would be impossible to stop the spread of this genocide.
At this ti, as Duke expected, King Llane ca in from outside the tent.
Llane said earnestly, "Duke, I don't want to directly refute your actions with moral principles. I just want to hear your views on the Horde."
Duke was silent for a few seconds, then spoke in a heavy voice: "Do you know how many tribes are left on the continent? Do you know how many places on the continent can provide for the Hordes to thrive if we don't clear out as many tribes as possible? No! You don't know, but I—know it all!"
Anduin and Lion suddenly looked stern.
The hiding Warsong Clan, Frostwolf Clan, and various troll clans that might join the Horde were pointed out one by one by Duke on the map.
Kargath, Fla Peak, Stonard, Grom'gol... These Horde strongholds that were almost taken for granted in Duke's gaming mories naturally had a different flavor in front of the military strategist Anduin.
Looking at these wild lands that have been ignored by most people, which would beco an excellent breeding ground for the rise of the Horde if left unattended, Anduin and Llane were finally moved.
Duke's last reason dealt the final blow to Anduin's heart: "Think about it, did Emperor Thoradin ever count the won and children of the trolls as the weak..."
In this era, no matter what, humans all take Emperor Thoradin as a model for their actions. Perhaps the spirit of chivalry is very noble and admirable, but compared with Emperor Thoradin, the leader of mankind, it is obvious who is more important.
Lothar was indeed a very noble man, and Duke had no intention of undermining his beliefs, but Duke had to do so because, according to history, after the Alliance won, King Terenas would implent that very fucked-up policy that prohibited the Alliance from massacring tribal prisoners.
This was Terenas's evil plan to consu the rest of the alliance in the na of chivalry.
Unless they find an excuse to leave the alliance, they will be crushed by the ever-increasing cost of shelters. Those countries that truly possess the spirit of chivalry and humanitarianism have beco the ones that are being hard, and King Terenas, who originally wanted to reap the benefits of the fisherman, also fell gorgeously after encountering the corrupted Arthas.
Duke finally understood.
He hated the extrely violent old tribe and wanted to kill all the Horde mbers. Unfortunately, the orcs were like cockroaches that could never be killed. It was impossible to eradicate the Horde in such a big world, so he had to at least reduce the living space of the new tribe and try his best to keep the new tribe under control.
Don't give yourself the chance to destroy the alliance at any ti, or have a funny chief make a stupid roar that affects the city appearance and harms the alliance.
That was too far away. To be more specific, Duke's focus was on the final battle of the Second Dark Gate War. In this battle, according to the original history, Duke's most respected Alliance hero Anduin Lothar...
Will be killed by Orgrim!!
