Chapter 69 The Great Chief's Surprise
Stormwind Fortress is located on a very high ground. At this time, Orgrim Doomhammer was standing in front of the fortress gate, overlooking the entire city.
"The familiar firelight and thick smoke." He said calmly, as peacefully as a lion taking a nap, as if what was burning in front of him was not his city.
"The familiar smell belongs to the smell of war." An old orc behind him respectfully answered. His eyes were already covered with wrinkles, his beard and hair bun were gray, and he looked old and ordinary. But the guards around him
They definitely did not dare to underestimate this old man. They knew that being able to speak beside the warchief demonstrated the old man's special status. This senior advisor Eitrigg was resourceful and trusted by the warchief. He was a very important figure in the political arena of the Blackstone clan.
"War? Ha." Orgrim smiled lightly: "You mean, these ants can provoke a war?"
"If it's within the territory of other clans, yes!" Eitrigg flattered him sincerely and replied: "But within the territory of our Blackstone clan, these strong ants are just ants and can only be nipped in the bud.
middle."
Orgrim was confident and shook his head proudly, saying: "How is the current progress? Have the leaders been resolved?"
"According to our internal intelligence report, the resistance representative Mathias Shore has been in contact with the Masonry Brotherhood, but during the riot, Mathias ran away." Eitrigghui reported: "As for the masonry, the thieves
The leader, Edwin Van Cleef, is on the run and is wanted by us; his deputy, Buckil Thred, was killed on the spot, and Barons Alexton was captured alive by the city defense forces."
"We should treat this Balons well and see if he can be used by us. On the one hand, it will undermine the opponent's morale, and on the other hand, we also really need to employ people." Orgrim said calmly: "If he doesn't obey,
, so he beheaded him and hung his head in front of the city gate. In addition, the matter of wage arrears must be thoroughly investigated, and the rebels must be severely punished. But those who disrupt our construction progress-even the senior internal officials must not be leniently spared!"
"Yes!" Eitrigg secretly admired him. Orgrim acted vigorously and resolutely, with wisdom and a high level of vision. He was a true leader, wise and even cunning, and could accept new things and even human culture.
, completely different from those chiefs in Kargas who only have muscles and no brains.
"Don't answer so simply." Orgrim asked: "Based on your personality, I'm afraid you have already conducted some research before I spoke?"
"Yes, it only involves Red. Chief Blackhand." Eitrigg reported truthfully: "According to the preliminary investigation, the issue of wage arrears may be related to the handover between Red and Bolvar Fordragon. It should be one of the two.
Once there is a problem."
Orgrim, who had always been calm, finally frowned when he heard this: "This guy Red is really a problem. Maimu just had an accident, and I don't want to go into details about him. But the trouble he caused this time is too big!"
Eitrigg responded submissively, knowing that this topic was not one he should participate in. Red's identity was sensitive. He and Maim were the sons of the former warchief Blackhand, and Orgrim successfully usurped power after killing Blackhand in a duel.
He didn't want to kill Red so that he could lose his reputation. He was considered a leader with insufficient resources and needed to exclude dissidents.
Orgrim has worked hard for Red's special identity, and even split the Blackstone Clan into a branch, the Black Fang Clan, and put it under Red's control. But what Red has done is really chilling.
"As for Bolvar, this guy is quite honest so far." Orgrim continued: "You can also give him a moderate blow to make him do less things and focus more on internal affairs. If you don't value his ability,
Just because of his relationship with the rebels, it would be enough to hang him ten times!"
Eitrigg showed a surprised expression: "Warchief, I haven't reported the latest news from the spies, and you already know it?"
"What news? Tell me quickly!"
"An uncertain clue: One of Bolvar's men is suspected of having contact with Mathias, and Mathias participated in the masonry riots. His contact is Turalyon, the most wanted criminal in our tribe!
"
"Ha, they came just in time." Orgrim sneered: "If they were willing to stick together, we would save us from chasing them one by one. Whether it's Turalyon, Mathias, or Van Cleef, we can catch them all in one go.
It’s the best! If Bolvar doesn’t wake up, kill him too!”
"Warchief, before I reported this clue, did you foresee Bolvar's rebellious intentions?"
"Foreknowledge?" Orgrim showed a sly smile: "My friend, this is not what you would say. You have been in contact with humans, and you should understand their chivalry. Bolvar is a dragon and a phoenix among men, and I don't know what to say.
I don’t believe that he will serve our tribe wholeheartedly. But as time goes by, and we build Stormwind City well, he may slowly turn to us. If we go against the grain, sooner or later he will jump out and try to stab me in the back.”
"That's it!" Eitrigg was filled with admiration.
"If you want to rule humans, you must first understand humans and be familiar with their way of thinking. This is what Gul'dan taught me." Orgrim said: "Wait until humans are used to orcs being higher than them, and then let them get close to orcs.
status, they will be grateful and obey us wholeheartedly. We will be able to completely conquer this great enemy and completely rule this powerful and respectable nation."
Orgrim paused and suddenly asked: "By the way, how is the investigation into Maimu's death going?"
Eitrigg took out a piece of letter paper and read: "At that time, Maimu led a small team to patrol the old city. He should have discovered the riot very early, and gathered several nearby teams as quickly as possible to kill them.
In the past. But it is speculated that out of a desire for credit, he did not report it in time and ask for support."
"This arrogant fool will cause trouble to me even after death!" Orgrim complained: "Much more stupid than his short-sighted brother!"
"Subsequently, the two sides came into contact. Witnesses stated that Maimu led the city defense army to launch an attack immediately, but there were several masters of the masonry who actually had the advantage in the head-on confrontation. Since the witnesses ran away after seeing the chaos, no one
The murderer was clearly identified." Eitrigg continued to report: "There were two fatal injuries. It is speculated that Maimu was hit with a dagger on his vest and then decapitated with a sword. The murderers should be two people, a seasoned assassin and a user.
Sword master."
"Mathias Shore?" Orgrim gritted his teeth and said, "Should I thank this bastard for clearing the door for me, or should I hang him?"
"Maybe it has nothing to do with Mathias!" Eitrigghui reported: "We arranged for the spies in Gnomeregan to report that a few days ago, Chief Kargath fought against two humans and made a bet of ten moves. If they can't win, they will let go.
They left, and after receiving ten moves, the two took the subway towards Stormwind City. And these two happened to be a warrior and an assassin!"
"Can you take ten moves from Kargas? With such strength, it is indeed possible to kill Maimu. After all, although Maimu is stupid, he is not a loser." Orgrim raised his eyebrows, a little surprised and a little surprised: " I really didn’t expect that after Magni signed to join, Khaz Modan could bring me another surprise, haha. Further investigate these two people!"
"Yes!" Eitrigg ordered and respectfully bowed out.
Orgrim smiled, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He completely understood Kargas's feeling of being happy to see the hunter. Since he ruled this continent, the opportunities for him to take action in person have become less and less. His hands are itchy, but he is a good opponent. Hard to find!
If he found a strong enemy like Turalyon, he would really like to fight him personally! His hands were so itchy that he even missed the Black Hand.
Naturally, he was so excited that he didn't notice the slightest bit of uneasiness shown by Eitrigg. The investigation report in the old orc's hand was clearly marked with the last line, which was a line that he concealed and did not say.
"The two people who fought against Kargas were a blond male paladin and a black-haired female assassin. They were around twenty years old."
Eitrigg walked past an oil lamp and burned the report point into ashes.
