The sudden voice of words coming from beside him made all the hair on Thrall's body stand on end. He jumped up from the bed as a well-trained man, and skillfully touched the battle ax he placed against the wall.
"who?"
Thrall, holding the battle ax tightly in both hands, glanced nervously around the dark room, trying to find the mysterious person who had sneaked into his house.
"Don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions towards you."
A black shadow that blended into the environment appeared next to Thrall, standing up and covering his mouth with furry paws.
"Shh~ don't scream, it will be troublesome if you attract Blackmore's attention. Don't you want to escape from this prison called the Castle?"
Thrall subconsciously swung his battle ax to attack beside him, but the seductive sound in his ears made him stop what he was doing.
"Uh-huh!"
Thrall shook his head to signal the other party to release his restraints.
Black Panther calmly took two steps back to make room, showing full sincerity even though he could easily kill Thrall.
As an excellent gladiator, Thrall can feel the huge strength gap between the two sides.
He didn't try to call for reinforcements. He just stood there and asked with twinkling eyes: "Who are you? Why do you think I want to escape from Durnholde?"
"Ha~"
The black panther that uses the protective color of its fur to sneak into the house is naturally Sarlayan who has activated Dru Yin's transformation.
"No one would want to be a slave to a stupid and bad guy like Blackmore forever, let alone his shameless possession of your most important sister, right?"
Thrall's facial muscles twitched obviously, and Sarlayan, who had night vision, could clearly see the change in his expression.
"...Who are you? Why are you investigating me?"
"It's not important, at least not yet."
Sarlayan rarely became a Riddler: "The important thing is, what is your true thoughts in your heart, do you really want to stay in Durnholde and coexist with Blackmore?"
Today, Sal is still very young and has a serious lack of social experience.
Having not experienced those important events that prompted his growth, young Thrall did not have a gentle temper and inherited the reckless and violent temper passed down from the orc blood.
"If you had a choice! Who would want to be a slave to Blackmore!"
Thrall's venting growl made Sarlayan nod with satisfaction: "Very good, at least you haven't completely lost your will to resist under Blackmore's training. It's finally worth my risk to sneak into Durnholde."
help you."
The black panther squatted on the ground, his bright orange eyes staring at Thrall with a ferocious look on his face.
"Sal...let's call you that, do you want to be free?"
"Of course I do!"
Now that he had expressed his inner dissatisfaction, Thrall no longer cared about it and said without hesitation: "I have never dreamed of escaping from this prison, no longer being coerced by Blackmore, and living with Taresha."
Live a life of freedom.”
Sarlayan continued to ask noncommittally: "What about Talitha's parents? If you and Talitha escape from Durnholde together, will Blackmore let them go?"
Sal's originally high momentum paused, and after a while he sighed and said, "No, he will definitely kill Mr. and Mrs. Foxton in anger."
Sarlayan smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, you are still clear-headed and not motivated."
"This is the first lesson I teach you. Before taking action, you must first understand the possible consequences of your actions. Don't let yourself regret it for the rest of your life."
Sal could feel that this mysterious man had no ill intentions towards him, and nodded solemnly: "I have learned the lesson, but you are..."
"I said, it doesn't matter who I am, just think of me as a good person passing by."
Sarlayan continued: "When the time is right, you will know my identity. Now tell me first, if there is a chance to escape from Durnholde, how do you plan to take Taresha's family out."
Sal smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If I knew what to do, I would have taken action long ago."
"Since Durnholde Castle entered a state of war, the defenses inside and outside the castle have been significantly strengthened. Some of the previous surveillance loopholes have been filled by those mercenaries."
"To be honest, there is no good way for me to leave Durnholde, let alone taking Taresha and the Foxtons with me."
At this stage, Thrall has not experienced the baptism of real war and is still very unfamiliar with the word battlefield. He is just an excellent gladiator and only knows how to defeat the enemy in one-on-one combat.
To put it simply, Thrall today lacks the overall situation and does not think that he can take advantage of the impact of the war and escape from Durnholde in the chaos.
Of course, even if Blackmore focused most of his energy on defending the city, it would not be easy to implement the escape plan, but at least this is a more logical idea.
"Next question."
Sharlayan was a little disappointed with Thrall's performance, but considering his age and experience, he couldn't place too high demands on this youthful version of the salvation shaman.
"Sal, do you want to know your true life experience?"
"life experience?!"
Sal took a step forward with some excitement: "Do you know who my parents are? Please tell me!"
Sarlayan nodded his leopard head in the darkness: "I do know, but you must first pass the test of escaping from Durnholde, and then I will tell you all the secrets of your life experience."
"Escape from Durnholde..."
Thrall slapped his forehead with a headache: "I hope this war will be as fierce as you said, and let Blackmore take care of the changes in the city."
…
Before sneaking into Durnholde Castle, Sarlayan originally planned to take Sal and Taressa's family directly out of the castle.
But after observing Sal's young but methodical action pattern with his own eyes, he changed his mind.
Due to the drastic changes in history caused by Sarlayan, Thrall in this time and space is likely to lack some of the experience that originally belonged to him, causing him to not grow as high as in the original history.
Sharlayan has high expectations for Thrall. He hopes that the son of the Frostwolf chief can lead the orcs on the right path and let the tribe join the ranks of protecting Azeroth.
This is undoubtedly a win-win choice for the orcs and Azeroth.
Draenor, the homeland of the orcs, is half-dead, and they must find a new home to thrive.
And this new home is Azeroth, which was found by the predecessors of the tribe.
For all races in Azeroth that have been affected by the orc rebellion, if the orcs want to wash away their past sins, they must submit a letter of sufficient weight.
Sarlayan has heard about the changes in the Dark Portal more than once. The Burning Legion and the expeditionary force staying in Draenor are obviously still fiercely fighting for control of the Dark Portal.
Draenor is not Azeroth, and there is no planetary barrier that can prevent the arrival of high-level demons from the Burning Legion.
The expeditionary force can delay the Burning Legion's attack to a certain extent, but without backup, the time they can delay is ultimately limited.
Now that Thrall has begun to show his prominence, it means that a new round of large-scale entry of the Burning Legion into Azeroth is coming.
In the original history, Thrall and the new tribe's highlight moment was when they resisted the invasion of the Burning Legion on the continent of Kalimdor.
Sharlayan has no intention of drastically changing the course of Thrall's life.
At least when Archimonde, the powerful demon lord, leads the Burning Legion army to invade Azeroth, Quel'Thalas... and even the major races in Azeroth will need such a good combat power as the orcs to serve as artillery.
...reinforcements.
【...You want to say cannon fodder, right?】
[Be bold and just say it directly. Anyway, the orcs also need this opportunity to prove themselves, and cooperation will benefit both sides.]
In view of this, Sharlayan did not want to take away the opportunity of escaping Durnholde to promote Thrall's growth.
At worst, I would hide behind the scenes to wipe his butt, and then show up to help Sal when something went wrong in his actions, so as to prevent him from encountering something he would regret for the rest of his life.
After making an appointment with Thrall for the test, Sarlayan quietly left the hut where he lived and wandered around Durnholde Castle in stealth mode.
That's right, just hanging out.
For Thrall, Durnholde Castle is now very heavily guarded.
But for Sarlayan, who had infiltrated the Sharp-Eyed Chamber with Valeela, the level of vigilance put in by Blackmore, who was not good at training thieves, was far from enough.
Edras Blackmore lives in the largest lord's castle in the city. According to Thrall, this guy hasn't been seen for a week. He spends all day at home drinking and drinking.
Relieve stress.
As one of Blackmore's mistresses, Taressa Foxton would naturally live in the castle. Sarlayan planned to go and see her first, and also ask this kind human being by the way.
The girl needs to know everything in advance so as not to be in a hurry at the end.
After sneaking into the castle from the less guarded second floor, Sarlayan activated his hunting instinct in the form of a cheetah, and he quickly captured a large number of life breaths in the castle one by one.
"The young woman with the scent of Thrall... found."
