Blackmoore was a thorn in the flesh of King Terenas.
After receiving Saurfang's promise, King Terenas was overjoyed and excitedly grabbed Saurfang's hand:
"Saurfang, if you can get rid of Blackmoore, I will share Lordaeron with you."
King Saurfang knew this was a temptation and quickly declined:
"How is this possible? You are the king of Lordaeron. I, Saurfang, am willing to serve you. From now on, the orcs will be your private army and will only obey your orders. I will fight whoever you ask me to fight."
King Terenas was trembling with excitement, the happiness came too suddenly.
When he established an orc shelter in his early years, King Terenas was determined to use the orcs to unify the seven human kingdoms and restore the glory of Thoradin the Great.
Unexpectedly, the orcs fell into weakness because they couldn't eat enough meat, and instead became a drag on Lordaeron.
With the help of King Saurfang, his wish will come true, how could King Terenas not be excited.
But King Terenas still has a trace of suspicion and wariness, and will not easily trust an orc.
Saurfang had anticipated this, and in order to dispel the king's doubts, he vowed:
"Your Majesty the King, you know that we orcs believe in the souls of our ancestors. How about I swear an oath in front of the souls of our ancestors?"
King Terenas' eyes lit up: "It's so good, I wonder what I need to prepare?"
Saurfang shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty the King, I have already prepared it. Please come with me."
Under the protection of the palace guards, the two came to the foot of the hill, an open space full of weeds.
Tall trees covered the sky, and there was a slight chill coming from the depths of the dense forest.
Saurfang knelt on the ground and took out a white skull with black burnt marks on it.
"In the name of the ancestors!" Saurfang whispered, his eyes extremely pious, and then he let out a deep breath.
King Terenas watched from the sidelines. In the king's impression, it was the duty of the orc tribe shaman to communicate with the ancestors.
Unexpectedly, King Saurfang also knew this.
"In the name of our ancestors."
Saurfang said again.
A strange black flame suddenly burst out of the skull, and the surrounding light suddenly disappeared, as if it was late at night.
King Terenas was startled, and the court mage Armennar said:
"Your Majesty the King, there is something strange about this skull. It seems to be able to communicate with the power of the Shadow Realm."
"Could it be that the souls of the orcs' ancestors have returned?" King Terenas thought on his own.
Yamenar shook his head and frowned: "I'm not sure yet."
Near the skull, several transparent orc souls can be vaguely seen. Among them is an orc wearing a crown. He is tall and has an extraordinary bearing, like a king overlooking the earth.
Saurfang introduced: "This is my ancestor, the great Emperor Saurfang. Five hundred years ago, he achieved the unification of the orcs, defeated the ogre god, and reigned as emperor for thirty years. Draenor
The greatest king in history.”
There are different opinions on the history of the world of Draenor, and there is no clear record. The past events have long been impossible to verify.
King Terenas was immediately in awe.
Emperor Saurfang, wearing a crown on his head, made a voice like thunder: "Varok, the ancestors are smiling at you. How can I help you?"
Saurfang covered his heart with his right hand: "Dear ancestor, I would like to ask you to be a witness. I, Varok Saurfang, once again swear to you that I will always be loyal to the great King Terenas.
If I violate it, my soul will never have peace."
Emperor Saurfang showed a displeased look: "How can a mere human be qualified to gain the allegiance of our orcs? Varok, you have disappointed me so much."
Saurfang kowtowed and begged: "Ancestor, please help me."
"snort!"
Emperor Saurfang snorted coldly: "I want to see if the humans you are loyal to are qualified."
After saying that, the emperor glanced at the humans present, and when he stopped on the face of King Terenas, he let out an exclamation:
"What a strong imperial aura. I have seen emperors throughout the ages, but I have never felt such a powerful imperial power. How could such an inconspicuous planet like Azeroth give birth to such a great person?"
The transparent soul of Emperor Saurfang came to King Terenas, took a careful look, and bowed deeply:
"Although you have reached your twilight years, your imperial career has just begun. You will soon have an adventure and have an immortal life. Your rule will last for tens of thousands of years, and all races in Azeroth will worship you.
Under your feet, all races will be bathed in your glory. Even the outer world will surrender to you. You are the master of two worlds, the great Azeroth-Draenor Emperor. No one can compare with you before.
No one can compare to you after that, you are the first person in the history of Azeroth."
"I, can it really be done?" King Terenas was ecstatic in his heart.
For the old man who is about to come to the end of his life, he has a deep nostalgia for power and is unwilling to finish the final journey of his life.
If this is just the beginning, what a blessing it would be.
Emperor Saurfang lamented: "I have been in Draenor for thirty years. I have killed decisively and gratified with pleasure. I have no regrets. I just wish I could not live in the same era as you. If I could serve you, I would be willing to do so."
Even if you pay all the price, fortunately, my descendant Varok can serve you by your side. This is the honor of my Saurfang family."
King Terenas laughed heartily: "The Emperor is serious, I am only the king of Lordaeron."
"This is just the beginning of your great life." Emperor Saurfang sincerely begged: "I have been proud all my life and have never begged anyone, but I must make an exception today. Please take care of the orcs and don't let them become extinct."
King Terenas nodded: "As long as Saurfang is loyal to me, there will always be room for the orcs to survive in Azeroth."
"The Emperor has made such a promise, so I feel relieved."
Emperor Saurfang breathed a sigh of relief, turned around with a straight face, and seriously told King Saurfang:
"Varok, you have to remember that not only you must be loyal to His Majesty the King, but your son, grandson, and descendants will always be loyal to His Majesty the Great King from generation to generation."
King Saurfang prostrated on the ground: "Ancestors, please rest assured that as long as our Saurfang family exists, the orcs will always be loyal to the great King Terenas."
Emperor Saurfang nodded with satisfaction: "If you can keep your oath, I can rest in peace."
The souls of several orcs disappeared and the light reappeared. Saurfang put away his skull and stood in front of the king waiting for orders.
After communicating with the ancestral souls, King Terenas was completely relieved of King Saurfang and ordered King Saurfang to take over the Tirisfal Glades shelter.
Tirisfal Glades houses fifteen thousand orcs.
Although they are not the largest in number, they are all elites among the orcs, veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles, and were the main force in the attack on Lordaeron back then.
On the way back to Lordaeron, the court mage Armennar met King Terenas alone.
"Your Majesty the King, I thought about it carefully and I always feel that something is wrong. How could the soul of the orc ancestors appear in Azeroth?"
Terenas laughed: "Relax, don't put too much pressure on yourself, I trust King Saurfang."
Yamenar frowned: "Your Majesty, you need to be cautious about this matter. I suggest you find someone to monitor Saurfang."
Terenas shook his head: "As the Eternal Emperor, I should be ambitious and generous. I believe in him."
