But since the orcs invaded Azeroth more than ten years ago, traces of ogres have spread almost all over the world, and even some ogre clans are active in the corner mountains of the Arathi Highlands.
Of course, compared to their compatriots in Dustwallow Marsh, the Stonefist Ogres of Arathi are undoubtedly very embarrassing. Not only do they not have their own stronghold, they are even occasionally suppressed by the Deadwood Troll clan that also lives in the Arathi Mountains.
Fighting... The fates of ogres and ogres are also very different. To be honest, according to the power under Tagosh, even if it is placed in the war-torn northern border, it can be regarded as a big force.
.
However, Garin has been a child who loves adventure and listening to stories since he was a child. He knows many ancient rumors about Azeroth, including some "customs" of the ogre race.
Although ogres look stupid, they are actually very stupid, but they are creatures that can think. Of course, due to their rough and arrogant nature, it is difficult for them to develop their own civilization under normal circumstances, but ogres'
Society does have its own operating system.
For example, ogres who can cast spells are more noble than ordinary ogres.
For example, an ogre with its own "armor" must be a prominent figure in the clan.
For another example, the status of the ogre chief is not maintained by blood, but by the challenge and capture of force. Just like a pack of wolves, when the head wolf becomes old, there will always be new, strong giants.
Just like the wolf came to challenge the Wolf King, the same is true for the ogre chieftain's inheritance.
What's weird is that the intelligence of the ogres is just enough to maintain this "sacred" tradition, and their intelligence is just enough to make it difficult for them to understand the true meaning of this ancient tradition. In short, after more than ten years of development, cannibals
There is something weird about the Demon Chief's challenge, that is... this challenge is not limited to this clan.
When the territory of the Kingdom of Alterac was attacked by Syndicate thieves, some cunning thieves took advantage of the loopholes and gained control of other ogres by defeating the chiefs of some small clans, but these adventurous ones
Guys, they were later used as food because they couldn't afford to feed these rude and pot-bellied men.
Therefore, in a sense, this kind of challenge also has certain "risks" for foreigners.
But now, facing Tagosh who fled the battlefield in a hurry, Garin moved his neck, looked at the strong and fierce ogre chief, and shouted loudly:
"I am the chosen king of Stromgard, Garin Trollbane. Today on the battlefield between these two clans, I want to challenge you! Chief of Stonemaul, do you dare to accept my challenge?"
When these words were shouted, the entire small battlefield fell silent. The ogres could understand Common Tongue. In fact, every adult ogre could speak one or two words of Common Tongue. Galin's chief challenge was very difficult.
In a short time, word spread throughout the entire battlefield. The soldiers who were fighting had received instructions from the king's herald, and the ogres, who were now clearly at a disadvantage, also had their own little thoughts.
For a time, the sounds of fighting on the battlefield slowly subsided. Even the orcs who came to help heard about it. The ogres, who felt that the disaster was coming, looked at their chiefs eagerly, wearing armor and holding hands.
Tigos, who was armed, was also a little confused by Galin's unreasonable behavior.
"Talbane, are you crazy?"
Several orcs and trolls who came to watch the excitement stood aside, and Garrosh, who had met Garin several times, shouted in a low voice:
"You are no match for him... Look at that ogre, he has two heads. He is a wizard, and he has brute strength. Even your small body cannot block his hammer."
"Watch your words, orc!"
Aldrin, the knight captain who was guarding King Garin, glanced at Garrosh and said coldly:
"The king has his own plans, you just need to be a quiet spectator."
"Hey, stupid knight."
Garrosh snorted, he put down his weapon and stood aside with his arms crossed, while Thrall was a little worried. This smart orc could probably understand what Garin wanted to do, but like Garrosh, he was not optimistic about Garin.
Lin and Tagosh's duel.
When Garin Trollbane was in Northern Xinjiang, he was not a human leader known for his force. To be honest, even Alsace, the most capable of fighting among the younger generation of humans, faced a man who could cast spells in this situation.
, the brutal ogre leader who can still fight in close combat may not be able to win 100% of the time.
The reason why the barbarians are called barbarians is because they are powerful enough and they fight fiercely and violently, just like facing ferocious beasts. No matter how powerful the hunter is, they dare not say that they can win for sure.
"Weak human king, mighty Tagosh accepts your challenge!"
After a few minutes, the ogre chief felt the "ardent" hope from his compatriots. Any creature with a brain has the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Tagosh knew very well that if he did not accept the challenge, those who had been transported to
The heavy artillery around the battlefield will directly destroy the entire Stonemaul clan.
"Cunning humans..."
The two sides of the ogre leader looked at the surrounding battlefield. Among the shadows, the human artillery had begun to adjust the position of the muzzle. It was obvious that Galin was not only issuing a challenge, he was also using this
A way to buy time for human soldiers.
"Bang"
Tagosh smashed the heavy bone-crushing hammer on the ground, his three eyes shining with violent light, and when he waved his other hand, a ball of flame wrapped around his fist.
Represents another power of Tagosh, the rough and powerful elemental power.
"very good!"
King Garin was not nervous. He dismounted and reached out to take something from the knight captain Aldrin. Before he stepped into the battle circle, the silent Dranosh suddenly took a step forward and held the heavy black battle ax in his hand.
handed it to him:
"Use this!"
"Um?"
King Jialin looked at the double-edged battle ax handed over by the orc. He grabbed the ax in his hand. The heavy weight and the coldness to the bone made Jialin's will become clearer at this moment.
He looked down at the layers of cloud patterns on the black battle ax blade, and said softly:
"It looks like elemental steel... Only the Death Lords of Dark Blade have such weapons..."
Faced with Garin's speculation, Dranosh did not answer, but quietly took a step back. That ax... was the weapon he and Garrosh found when they woke up outside the wilderness of Lordaeron.
That was something passed down to him by his father, Death Lord Saurfang, and it was the only thing Saurfang could give him.
It is currently the hardest metal in the world of Azeroth. It can only be cast using a special method and cannot be destroyed once it is forged.
"Anyway, thanks."
Galin suddenly thanked Dranoche, who nodded and stopped talking.
Garin, holding an ax in one hand and a wooden box in the other, stepped into the ring of duel with Tagosh under the gaze of human soldiers and ogres. The savage ogre leader stared at the thin man in front of him with disdain.
The human king, it grabbed the heavy bone-crushing mallet at hand and roared. A hot red halo shone on the body of the two-headed ogre, making its muscles more intense and making its momentum stronger.
Become more fierce.
"Oops! It's bloodthirsty!"
As a shaman, Thrall could see the spell that Tagosh had cast on him at a glance. He wanted to say something, but the next moment, there was a thunderous sound that made Thrall's eyes widen.
Facing the ogre chief who rushed towards him like a hill, Galin shook his left hand and the wooden box in his hand was opened. Galin carried Dranosh's battle ax behind his back and grabbed it with both hands.
It was something that emitted a dark golden light. It looked like a long iron box. As Jialin's fingers moved back and forth, the box made a soft clicking sound.
"Cousin Danas...let your weapons protect me!"
Galin muttered to himself, and then like the most elite musketeer, he pointed the muzzle of the dark gold gun at the charging ogre and pulled the trigger.
"Bang"
A secondary weapon specially equipped by the Dark Blade Legion for the Death Lords, the "Siren" bolt shotgun burst out with its own brilliance on another continent for the first time, and the specially made Thorium bullets flew out in the blue smoke.
The muzzle of the gun pierced through Tagosh's black steel breastplate in less than a tenth of a second, pierced the ogre's rough skin, and then exploded, producing countless small metal fragments along with the hard Thorium warhead.
All writhing in the ogre's flesh.
Seen from the front, Tegosh's chest was shot with a ball of blood, while seen from the back, there was a horrific bloody wound on the ogre chief's back.
However, this is just the beginning. The cool thing about the Kraken shotgun is that it not only contains the tragic 20mm caliber explosive fragmentation bullet, but its magazine is also a 12-round high-end product. Every Kraken shotgun has
The shotguns, including the special bullets they are equipped with, are all handmade by Blackso's most skilled goblin engineers. The cost of each bullet reaches an astonishing 1,000 gold coins, which is more than the assembly line 5-shot ax gun used by the undead infantry.
It's so strong that I don't know where it went.
This thing is the true essence of the Black Iron Commercial Federal District's several years of research and development...the top killing weapon in the mortal world. However, even so, the death lords still despise its lack of power.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang"
The sound of gunshots like exploding beans resounded through the small battle circle. The young orcs, who had only used old-fashioned dwarf muskets, widened their eyes. This was the first time they had seen a projectile weapon that could fire continuously and was so powerful.
Tagosh was almost charging with a hail of bullets composed of single-ended bullets. The pain of the bullets tearing his internal organs made the ogre chief want to let out the craziest roar, but the pain suppression effect brought by the bloodthirsty spell made him
He did not lose his fighting power despite repeated heavy blows, even though there was no intact flesh and blood left on his body, even though his steps began to stagger, even though his weapons and arms were crazily torn apart by a whole projectile.
.
Garin, on the other hand, stood on the spot with the calmness that a musketeer should have, and kept pulling the trigger, opening horrific bloody holes in the ogre in front of him. When the fifth bullet fired accurately, Tai
In the moment of Ghosh's left brain, the desperate charge belonging to the ogre chief finally came to an end.
The left side of Tagosh's head exploded. This fatal wound caused the fireballs he tried to throw to lose control in his hands. His huge body rolled forward under the blessing of kinetic energy, bringing with it crazy dust and blood. Finally,
This bloody mass of flesh and blood, which could hardly be called life, hit the ground in front of Garin.
The ogre is not dead yet... That terrifyingly strong vitality has become the most terrifying curse at this moment. Tagosh raised the remaining right side of his head with difficulty. He looked at Garin fiercely, and the latter faced
Expressionlessly, he inserted the dark golden killing weapon back into his back, and then pulled out the elemental battle ax from behind. Under the gaze of humans and ogres, Garin swung the battle ax and struck it down hard.
"Bang"
Tagosh's head, covered in flesh and blood, flew out and landed at the feet of an ogre, frightening the stupid guy back.
"I won."
Garin announced his victory. His voice was very soft, but it was like lightning striking the ground, leaving the ogres at a loss. A moment later, an ogre wizard wrapped in a cloth tremblingly lifted Tiger into the air.
He picked up Shi's head, then half-knelt in front of Jialin, and raised the ugly head with both hands, as if it were a tribute.
The knight captain Aldrin, with a trace of the reserve unique to classical knights, stepped forward and took back the head of the ogre chief. This was one of the proofs of his master's illustrious martial arts. From then on, before Galin's title, he could
One more... "Dustwallow Marsh and the Barbarian Conqueror".
"Starting from today, Stonemaul Ogres will become vassals of Stromgard. You will get a new gathering place and new jobs, and the kingdom will give you enough food and shelter!"
With a victor's attitude, Garin stepped on Tagosh's body with his left foot. He looked at the tall and strong ogres and shouted loudly:
"Is anyone unconvinced?"
"Who wants to challenge me?"
"Stand up! I accept your challenge!"
Five seconds passed, and not a single ogre came out. This made Galin very satisfied. He nodded slightly and said proudly:
"Then, bow down to your new king!"
"Click"
At this moment, all the soldiers of the kingdom aimed their weapons at the ogres. Any ogres who disobeyed the king's orders would be killed on the spot, but these had been frightened by the "flamethrower" in Jialin's hand.
The emboldened barbarians had no intention of starting any rebellion. They knelt down on the ground very respectfully, which represented the end of the rebellion.
And the newly born Kingdom of Stromgard has finally established a firm foothold in this new continent.
Garin returned the blood-stained battle ax to Delanoche, and then, with everyone watching, he put the dark gold firearm behind his back into the exquisite wooden box. He stroked the weapon without much carvings.
Metal weapons, a voice sounded in his heart:
"This is the new power...the power of steel and fire, another power besides sword and magic."
"Thank you, cousin Danas...you have protected this country once again."
