Maraad's sister, Garona's mother, was forcibly captured by the orcs, and then... she understood everything.
Not long after giving birth to Garona, she was sent to the Dark Portal to be used as a recharging biological battery, and she never came back.
Even the paladin Maraad, who was as strong as steel, almost fainted on the spot when he learned of his sister's death.
Fortunately, the few refugees who managed to escape from the concentration camp told the grief-stricken Maraad a piece of news that was either good or bad.
His sister died leaving behind a child.
Maraad was certain that her sister had no partner before she was taken away, so it was impossible for her to become pregnant without any reason.
As a captive of the orcs, the reason for her pregnancy is hard to say, and she may not even be able to tell who the father of the child is.
When he thought of the torture his sister had suffered, Maraad almost bit his steel teeth into pieces.
If the little being named Garona hadn't diverted his attention, Maraad couldn't guarantee whether he would have lost his mind.
Since then, Maraad has been trying to find Garona's whereabouts.
Unfortunately, Garona, who was used as a useful tool by Gul'dan, rarely went out on missions alone. Even if she did, she would always be under the remote surveillance of the Shadow Council.
Time passed by, and it was not until many years after Garona grew up that Maraad unexpectedly learned some stories about her from Azeroth.
And that's not good news.
Finally, through the contact of the Mag'har orcs, he met and recognized Garona, who had long since regained her freedom. Maraad swore to the Holy Light that he would protect his sister's last blood relative at all costs.
Through the exchange of information with Maraad, Jaina learned the reason why Garona sneaked into the Thunder God's Fortress alone.
It was not because they discovered traces of Talon Bloodfiend, but because Garona unexpectedly confirmed that the Thunder God Clan had taken in a former high-ranking member of the Shadow Council.
This high-level warlock is named Blackat, one of Gul'dan's registered apprentices, nicknamed "The Fan".
After Ner'zhul opened the interstellar portal and took the initiative to send people to the door, Blackart, who chose to stay in Draenor, once occupied part of the Auchindoun ruins and tried to make a comeback.
However, as the Shattrath coalition gradually conquered the lost territory, the mixed forces hiding in the ruins of Auchindoun could no longer hide.
With the steady advance of the coalition forces, the Shadow Maze that Blekater had run for many years was breached.
As a senior member of the Shadow Council, Blackart, like Talon Bloodfiend, is well versed in the art of protecting oneself wisely.
This guy left behind all his subordinates and the summoned demon Duanhou, and fled alone. After many twists and turns, he fled to Blade's Edge Mountain to seek shelter from the Thunder God Clan.
Garmu, the chief of the Thunder God Clan, has not given up the idea of seizing the throne of the Blade's Edge Mountains, and this is the time to hire someone.
In the previous battle at Blade's Edge Mountain, Garm witnessed with his own eyes the terrifying destructive power that spellcasters can cause.
High-level warlock Bleikat arrived at just the right time, and the two of them worked hand in hand and began to secretly discuss how to eliminate the Moknasa clan that had taken over the throne and replace it.
At this time, Garona arrived. She came to pursue Talon Bloodfiend and accidentally discovered Blackart's whereabouts.
In line with the idea of preferring to kill the wrong person, Garona temporarily gave up on Talon Bloodfiend, who had no clues, and planned to send the high-level warlock Blackcat to meet his mentor Gul'dan first.
But in fact... Gul'dan's soul has long since died, and was annihilated by Sargeras himself.
Even if Blackart went to the Shadow Realm after his death, he would not be able to find Gul'dan's soul in the Maw.
"How dare the Thundergod clan take in the remnants of the Shadow Council?"
Having been with Sarlayan for a long time and witnessing various major events, Jaina learned how to make use of her righteous status.
In today's Draenor, hunting down the Shadow Council is politically correct.
The reason why Draenor is in the current situation is that the Shadow Council warlocks who attracted demons are undoubtedly the culprit.
As Sharlayan's bedfellow, Jaina knew that her man had always wanted to find an opportunity to destroy the evil Thunder God clan.
However, in order to maintain the balance of the major forces in Blade's Edge Mountain, he did not find a suitable opportunity to attack the Thunder God Clan.
"Now, doesn't this opportunity come?"
A gleam of light flashed in Jaina's eyes: "Ogres have a feud with the orcs, and they deeply hate the orc warlocks who sway evil energy indiscriminately."
"If Bloodmaul, Orgrila and the Blade Tower Ogres knew that the ambitious Thunder God clan planned to reuse the high-level orc warlock who defected... Archbishop Maraad, how do you think they would react?"
Maraad was stunned for a moment. He had a straightforward temper and was not sensitive to this kind of political manipulation. He thought for a while before giving an uncertain answer.
"You mean...to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"
"That's right."
Jaina showed a sly smile: "The afterglow of the Goria Empire, the last two large city-states of the ogres - Blade Tower Fortress and Highmaul Castle were both captured by the old tribes under the control of the Shadow Council."
"Leave aside the Bloodmaul Clan, once Ogrila and the Blade Tower Clan find out that the Thunder God Clan intends to use the Warlock, they will be furious and form a joint force to attack the Thunder God Fortress."
Ogres don't have a good impression of orcs in the first place.
As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.
Counting Ogrila, which has a small population, and the barren Blade's Edge Mountains, there are already five large forces, and naturally there are not many resources that can be shared between them.
If you can find an opportunity to eliminate one of them, your clan can get more rations.
This is also the main reason why the three major clans of Bloodmaul, Thor, and Blade Tower jointly attacked Mok'Nassa before, simply to get one of them out first.
With the strong assistance of Sarlayan and his party, Moknasa performed a great comeback.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Under the siege of the three major clans, not only were they not eliminated, but they became the overlords of Blade's Edge Mountain recognized by Gruul.
Since Moknasa cannot be defeated for the time being, the three major clans and Ogrila will naturally turn their attention to other forces.
The Thunder God Clan just took the initiative to give them the excuse to send troops for a joint attack. There is no reason why the three tribes of ogres would let this opportunity pass easily.
To take a step back, the Moknasa clan has a part of the ogre bloodline, and in terms of closeness, it is at least a step higher than the thunder god orcs.
After hearing Jaina's plan, Maraad took a deep breath subconsciously.
"...As expected of the mate of the infallible Archduke Shenying. If this matter really spreads, the Thunder God clan will probably become history soon."
"So~" Jaina smiled and shrugged: "I hope Garona won't act too quickly and save Blackat's life first, otherwise it will be really difficult for this drama to continue."
Maraad shook his head and laughed: "Don't worry, Garona is not a brainless woman. She just went in to investigate the situation."
"She will not risk taking action until she has collected enough intelligence to ensure that she can capture the enemy."
As Maraad said, Garona did not act rashly the first time she infiltrated. It didn't take long before she left the Thunder God Fortress empty-handed and tried to meet up with Maraad.
"Um?"
Garona, who was still sneaking, soon discovered the large number of ogres surrounding Maraad. Jaina was not noticed because of her petite stature.
According to her usual thinking, Garona thought her uncle was surrounded by ogres.
But upon closer inspection, these ogres did not seem to have any malicious intent, they were simply surrounding Maraad in the center.
Maraad, who was equally tall, was opening and closing his lips at this time, as if he was talking to someone.
Garona, who lightly used her strength on the trees several times and jumped to a high place, finally saw the person next to Maraad clearly.
"That's...Salayan's little girlfriend?"
Aiming at Jaina and launching Shadow Step, Garona appeared in the shadow behind Jaina in an instant.
Originally, Garona thought that Jaina, who was still young and lacked actual combat experience, would find it difficult to detect her actions, but this was not the case.
Jaina, who often sparred with Valeera, had long been accustomed to the inexplicable and strange intuition when thieves approached her.
Feeling that someone seemed to be approaching from behind, Jaina subconsciously snapped her fingers with her left hand, and with the help of gestures, she instantly fired a Frost Nova... which is also commonly known as the Ice Ring.
Although the experienced Garona immediately activated the Shadow Cloak when she sensed the mana fluctuation, she was not frozen in place by the ice ring.
But she inevitably broke away from the stealth state and looked at Jaina with a surprised look on her face, who flashed out and quickly turned back to assume a fighting stance.
"...Is this what Sarlayan taught? The future life is terrible."
