As a native demigod of Draenor, Gruul naturally has an immortal lifespan.
According to the information provided by Lyorox, long before the orcs formally became independent from the enslavement of the ogres, the reputation of Gruul, King of Gronn, had already resounded throughout Gorgrond.
And this is only the point in time when the orcs began to record history.
Considering the history of species degradation in Draenor, Sharlayan has reason to suspect that Gruul, who was once Magalon, may have existed in the ancient times when the original beasts and the destroyers were still competing for dominance in Draenor.
In such a long time, Gruul has experienced countless battles, and he dare not say that he has never been defeated.
But at least in Gruul's memory, no one has ever been able to defeat him in a one-on-one head-on collision.
"Ahem!"
Gruul, who was half-kneeling on the ground, was unable to use any strength due to a large number of severed tendons. Until Sarlayan adjusted his condition and asked, his mind was still a little confused.
"I... lost? Lost to a little one, lost to a mortal?"
Sarlayan heard Gruul's muttering to himself, and smiled and corrected his cognitive error: "I am not an ordinary mortal. In terms of status, I belong to the ranks of demigods like you."
"If you feel that losing to a little kid is unacceptable, then..."
Sarlayan retracted his weapon and transformed, and a slender and well-proportioned golden dragon suddenly appeared, flapping its powerful wings and hovering in front of Gruul.
"My name is Sharlayan Deepshadow, the son of the dragon Yllenastrasza, the first perfect colorful dragon in the history of Azeroth. You can consider me a member of the dragon family."
"By the way, the black dragon you once defeated is from Azeroth like me. Although my stance is completely different from theirs, those guys can be considered my kin after all."
"Black dragon..."
Gruul grinned self-deprecatingly: "I understand."
"I defeated the black dragon, you take revenge."
Sarlayan shook the dragon's head and said: "I am not challenging you just to avenge the black dragon."
"As the overlord of Blade's Edge Mountain, you should be somewhat aware of the current chaotic situation in Blade's Edge Mountain."
"With the defeat and collapse of the old tribe, peace has been restored to other areas of Draenor. Only the Blade's Edge Mountains, where you are in charge, are still in flames."
"You probably won't be able to understand the layout that's too complicated, that's what I'll say."
Sarlayan solemnly said to Gruul, whose eyes were a little wandering: "In order to build Draenor into an outpost to resist demonic attacks, I plan to end the unrest in Blade's Edge Mountains and unite all the local residents of Draenor to unite with the outside world.
.”
"demon!"
Upon hearing this term, Gru, who was feeling a little depressed, suddenly became energetic.
"They still dare to come?!"
"Crush the demon! Gruul will protect our home!"
After all, gronn are a native species of Draenor... so to speak.
Gruul's brain is not very good, but through the intelligence provided by the ogre clans scattered throughout the Blade's Edge Mountains, he at least knows who is responsible for Draenor's increasingly bad environment.
Gruul is not interested in fighting for world hegemony, he just wants to protect his own territory.
As Gorgrond, once rich in resources, evolved into the barren Blade's Edge Mountains due to geological activities caused by evil energy erosion, the living conditions of the Gorron clan were inevitably affected.
Gruul did not want to see the environment of the Blade's Edge Mountains continue to deteriorate. He deeply hated the demons who brought evil energy to Draenor, and even angered the orcs who were the carriers of the Burning Legion's conspiracy.
So Sharlayan said before that even if the Thunder God Clan were lucky enough to defeat the Bloodmaul and the Blade Tower Ogres, they were destined not to be recognized by Gruul and become the overlord of the mortal forces in the Blade's Edge Mountains.
Gruul, who had gone through countless battles, was not someone who couldn't afford to lose. After all, Sarlayan defeated him in a one-on-one battle.
After the initial period of depression, induced by Sarlayan's sharp tongue, Gruul's anger was soon transferred to the demons that might come to Draenor again at any time.
At this time, Onyxia also took care of Maguk and Slaeg, and she flew over slowly, dragging a Goron on each of her hind paws.
"Slaig, Maguk..."
Gruul, who had not yet recovered from his injuries, moved with difficulty to his two most beloved sons and carefully checked on their condition.
Fortunately, under Sarlayan's order, Onyxia did not kill the two Gronns, but just knocked them unconscious.
Gruul is a veteran warrior who has fought hard on the battlefield. He knows better than anyone that generals will inevitably die on the battlefield.
But having said that, intelligent creatures are still species driven by emotions, and differences between close ones and distant ones are inevitable.
Gouk, Golgrom, Grulock and Skullock, these disobedient villains, will die if they die. The worst they can do is practice more trumpets in the future.
After confirming that Slaig and Maguk, his favorites, were still alive, Gruul was visibly relieved.
"You win."
After letting go of the last string in his heart, Gruul no longer forced himself to kneel down. He sat down on the ground and said to Sarlayan in his dragon form with a low eyebrow: "You are the winner, you want me to
do what?"
'Oh, he's really submissive.'
To be honest, Sarlayan didn't have many expectations of conquering Gruul.
Because of this, when Gruul personally admitted defeat and was willing to obey his orders as the loser, Sarlayan, who had lowered his expectations in advance, was particularly surprised.
"First of all, I need you, as the overlord of Blade's Edge Mountain, to publicly acknowledge the Mok'Nassar clan as your agent in the mortal world."
"After that...it's a long story."
…
Under the joint siege of the Mok'Nassar clan and the elemental revenge army summoned by Jaina, they fought for many days. The three major forces, which were already at the end of their strength, fell into a complete defeat without resistance for long.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! One side has been building momentum for a long time, and the other side is exhausted. Even without the elemental army unexpectedly summoned by Jaina, Sarlayan does not think that the three major forces with serious internal conflicts can survive.
The Moknasa clan, with all its elites, made a surprise comeback.
It wasn't until the powerful Mok'Nathal hunters stormed into the central camp that the Bloodmaul clan belatedly realized that they had been tricked.
At this time, it was too late to realize the problem with the guide.
With the cooperation of the elemental army, the Mok'Nathal clan, which was determined to revenge and had high morale, easily broke through the central camp of Bloodmaul, and swept across the camps of the Thunder God clan and the Blade Tower clan, which were also low in morale, on the same day.
When Gruul, who had been healed by Sarlayan's life power, rushed to the battlefield, the situation in this melee between the four races was already very clear.
After witnessing the victory of the Moxana clan in the war, Gruul announced on the spot that the chief would come to Orox to serve as the spokesperson of his will.
The Bloodmaul clan was very dissatisfied with being kicked out of the position of boss.
However, even after experiencing many battles, the Bloodmaul clan's combat effectiveness was severely damaged.
Facing the Moknasa soldiers who had been recharging their strength for a long time, they could only accept the fact in frustration when the situation was stronger than theirs.
However, the Bloodmaul clan obviously does not intend to give up.
They plan to wait until they regain their strength to challenge the Mok'Natha clan and regain the throne of Gruul's spokesperson from this group of despicable people who are hiding behind their backs to pick up peaches.
After this battle, the three major forces suffered heavy losses, and the Mok'Nassar clan, which waited for the time to move, became the final winner.
With Gruul's intentional support, Sarlayan believes that they can secure this position and complete the important task of stabilizing the situation in Blade's Edge Mountain.
When he came to Orox, he didn't expect that Sharlayan's plan would go so smoothly. To his surprise, he kept his promise and sent out a large number of scouts. He even entrusted Gruul to arrange for the three major clans of Bloodmaul, Thor and Blade Tower to assist in the search.
On the other hand, Onyxia also followed the clues through the black dragon aura remaining on Golgrom.
Through this two-pronged search, half a month after the melee between the four races ended, Sharlayan finally received the good news from Onyxia from the Crystal Wastes.
With the great assistance provided by the "enthusiastic" Ogre Ogres, Onyxia finally found Saberman, who was hiding and pretending to be her grandson.
