Chapter 1 - Military Conference
…………
When Aurelia Windrunner walked into Orgrimmar with a small group of Blood Knight followers, her face looked full of anxiety. As the Regent of Quelthalas, she was always outside the center of the tribe. However, Windrunner did not express dissatisfaction with this. On the contrary, she was very happy that she could stay out of the matter. Only in this way could the life of Sindore be stable. But this time, she received a letter from the new chief of the tribe asking her to come to Orgrimmar to attend the meeting of all tribe leaders. Aurelia wanted to refuse, but reason told her that only by following the orders can her people be safe. After all, the new chief was too...aggressive - this can be seen from the letter.
Garrosh Hellscream, Aurelia had a relationship with him, and at the inauguration of the new chief, she also expressed her loyalty to him. At that time, Garrosh just nodded to her coldly, and Aurelia also saw the concept of racism in his eyes.
Since then, the Regent has never been to Orgrimmar again. She doesn't want to stay there. At this moment, she sincerely hopes that she can stay away from here.
Aurelia rode a chorus through the long corridor inside the city gate. From the moment she saw her vision widened, she was instantly stunned by the changes in the city. Orgrimmar was in her memory, but now she has become completely militarized. At the very end, she was all houses with heavy steel spikes. The simple wooden sheds in the past were completely replaced.
The suffocational feeling oppressed Aurelia. For her, these hideous and terrifying changes did not only symbolize power, but also conquest and domination. The hard metal edges on the tower make people feel threatening rather than at ease.
Of course, there is another change that is crucial, which also allows Aurelia to have a little more of the great chief. When Thrall was still the chief, Orgrimmar's center of gravity, Gromash Fortress was in the Valley of Wisdom. Now, Garrosh moved the fortress named after his father to the Valley of Power. Wisdom and Power, two different words, just reflect the differences in character between Thrall and Hellscream.
When the blood elves' team arrived at the fortress, Aurelia met another team of people with simpler clothing. Their leader rode on a strong white Cordo beast. Bain Bloodhoof, the new patriarch of the Taurus. Aurelia nodded to each other when she met her eyes. The young leader had lost his father not long ago and had experienced rebellion within the Taurus. Aurelia admired him very much because his father died at Garrosh in the duel, but Bain still chose to be loyal to the Hellscream tribe. His resilience and sanity were beyond ordinary people.
"Ms. Regent!" A sound that sounded a bit false and false came. Aurelia turned her eyes and then went down. A sly-looking goblin with a funny hat walked towards her.
"You must be Gary Vicks, the trade prince of Rust Water CBU," said Aurelia. The goblin is a new member of the tribe who recently joined the crowd. It is hard to imagine that Garrosh actually accepted this group of guys who only have money in their eyes.
"It's a great honor for you to know me." Gary Vicks looked particularly enthusiastic and gave Aurelia an exaggerated smile, "Today is a happy day, you think too. Chief Garrosh's palace is really majestic and mighty!"
"Be careful, Prince of Trade." Aurelia warned with her eyes narrowed: "I don't think the chief would be happy to hear the word "palace". After all, this word is more used in the kingdom of mankind."
"Thank you for your reminder, I hope we will have a happy future cooperation."
Aurelia was watching this goblin. Many people hate the goblin race. She is one of them, but Aurelia would not underestimate the ability of this group of short people. Their wisdom is reflected in all aspects. As long as you give money, their brains will come up with various solutions to problems. And their creative ability...
The Regent suddenly understood why Garrosh accepted goblins. There were dwarfs and dwarves in the alliance, and there should be races proficient in inventions on the tribe.
"We will actively trade with foreign countries," Aurelia replied, "Quelthalas has long stopped being closed."
"Oh, this is great news, worth celebrating." Gary Vickers said with a smile, "Hope we can win-win in trade."
"Hope so."
Gary Vickers nodded, he saw Bain, then walked away with a tragic gesture, and despite his shortness, he quickly penetrated the crowd. Aurelia sighed, and she jumped off the robe and handed the reins to the Blood Knight entourage beside her, and stepped into the fortress in front of Bain and Gary Vickers.
Ruthless and iron-blooded! This is what Aurelia commented on the New Gromash Fortress.
"Regent!" A rough voice sounded, and the troll leader Wojin had been waiting for a long time.
Elves and trolls have been old enemies since ancient times, but Quelthalas hated the forest trolls, and Woking's Darkspear tribe does not belong to the forest trolls.
"Chief Woking." Aurelia replied with greetings.
The two nodded to each other and stopped talking. She sat on the bench opposite Woking, and was far away from the Chief's throne.
The Regent waited patiently, and Bain and Gary Vickers also walked in, as well as the consultant Itrig. Among the few, the Taurus, Orcs and the Trolls talked for a few words, and then the atmosphere fell into silence again. Aurelia noticed that Woking's eyes were always on the chief's seat, and curiosity drove the female elf to look over.
The story of Gromash killing the demon Manolos is known to everyone in the tribe. The demon's skull and armor were originally hung on a large tree trunk at the entrance of Gromash Fortress, but now it appears on the chief's throne.
Garrosh actually used his father's glory to decorate his throne! It seemed like he was a personal hiding. Aurelia lowered her eyes disdainfully, and inadvertently scolded Garrosh and said, "The self-righteous guy."
Time passed by little by little, and the leaders of various tribes gathered here gradually became anxious. At this time, a purple-gray-skinned orc walked into the fortress. He only had three fingers left on one hand and his body was covered with scars.
Black Stone Orc? Aurelia frowned.
