…

In the past few weeks, Orgrimmar seemed to have recovered from the pain of the war. When everything was ready, many members of the tribe suggested that Vol'jin hold a chief coronation ceremony. In addition to officially announcing his

In addition to status, it also commemorates the end of the long-standing war.

Vol'jin could not refuse the rising enthusiasm of the tribesmen, and could not devote a lot of resources to this kind of formality, so the final ceremony was just a simple procession in the city. The end of the ceremony was a procession held in Grommash Fortress.

It's not a grand banquet.

The food was roasted wild boar and root vegetables, and the drinks were ale and spirits. Vol'jin had told the logistics officer responsible for preparing the banquet that everything had to be brief and concise.

Soon, the first round of wine and food was eaten and drank, and the service staff was working hard to refill the food.

Vol'jin, who was sitting in the chief's seat, was also holding a glass of wine and watching people eating and drinking. At this time, he noticed a chubby figure approaching him. The other person was a panda.

"Great Chief? Take a moment of your time."

Vol'jin nodded and motioned for him to come closer. The pandaren brought him a letter from Lordaeron.

"I was just wondering about the latest developments over there." The Troll Chief glanced at the contents of the letter, and then revised his thoughts.

This is bad news.

Vol'jin said to the Pandaren Messenger: "You go down and rest for a while. I need some time to think before I can reply."

After the pandaren left, Vol'jin's keen eyes were fixed on Saurfang and Thrall. The two orcs also noticed his gaze and walked towards him.

"What happened?" Saurfang asked.

"We'd better not discuss it in front of so many people." Vol'jin stood up. His movements were very small and would hardly attract anyone's attention. "Here is a place where people won't be around."

He motioned for Saurfang and the two to follow him to the small room at the back of the hall. As soon as the leather curtain fell, Saurfang said: "I never knew there was such a place."

"Garrosh also knows how to keep secrets. This is where he comes up with his conspiracies." Vol'jin grinned and passed the letter to the two orcs.

"This is the smile Ji Chuan returned."

Compared with the calmness on Thrall's face, Saurfang felt incredible. "I always thought Nazgrin was dead, but I didn't expect that he would become a prisoner of the Forsaken."

"I don't know about this either. It seems that Nathanos has done a lot of tricks in Orgrimmar," Vol'jin said.

Among the many followers of Garrosh, Nazgrim is the one Thrall is most familiar with. Before the war began, when he and Sarrufa came to Orgrimmar, they were blocked by Kor'kron soldiers. If not

Because of Nazgrim, they couldn't infiltrate at all. Unfortunately, such a man with a glorious heart, Nazgrim, finally chose to support Garrosh, even though he was only fulfilling his duties and fighting for glory.

Thrall believed that the Horde general had been prepared to die on the battlefield, but in the end he became a prisoner. He must be in pain now.

"We should welcome back Nazgrin." Thrall immediately stated, "Logically speaking, although he is a war criminal, only the tribe has the power to decide his fate, not the Forsaken, and not the Alliance.

"

"Agreed." Saurfang nodded, "And we must not let the Alliance know the whereabouts of Nazgrin, otherwise their spies will definitely plan various assassination plans."

That being said, Vol'jin admitted that what the two people in front of him said made sense. But Thrall and the others never thought that it was Nathanos who revealed this matter to Ji. The purpose of the Lord of the Forgotten was to change the tribe.

Previous thoughts.

But we can't leave Nazgrim alone.

There are only two ways to get the orc general back, one is to rescue him secretly, and the other is to use diplomacy to let Nathanos take the initiative to release him. Since it is unclear where Nazgrin is being held, and once discovered, the Forsaken and

Unnecessary conflicts will arise between tribes, so the first method will not work and the second method can only be used.

"Originally, what I expected was that when the Forsaken joined us, the captives would naturally return to the tribe. However..." Vol'jin looked at the letter again, nodded and said, "It seems that this was planned by Nathanos a long time ago.

. He plans to refuse to join the tribe by signing various treaties. If we don't agree, he may give the prisoners to the alliance."

These words confused Saurfang. Vol'jin also explained: "Orcs, trolls, tauren, blood elves, and goblins, we are all one. There are no rules and regulations that must be observed among tribe members.

, only have their respective responsibilities. But Nathanos is obviously more interested in the regulations."

"Just like the relationship that the tribe maintained with Theramore during my administration in the past." Thrall added. "That is, the two parties signed a formal alliance to non-aggression and trade."

Once the covenant is torn up, it means war. The three people in the hut all understand this truth.

After a long time, Saurfang's voice broke the silence: "It seems that we don't know enough about him. This man's foresight is the best I have ever seen."

"Wo'jin, what are you going to do?" Thrall turned to face Wo'jin and asked.

"The matter has come to this. We must reach an agreement with Nathanos before the Alliance notices."

"But what if the Forgotten Lion opens his mouth?"

The Troll Chief smiled, as if in his eyes, this was not a problem. "We must ensure one thing, that is, we will never allow the Forsaken to side with the Alliance. So I have to put forward a condition, as long as Nathanos

Agree, no matter how unreasonable his request is, I can satisfy him."

…

Stephen decided to stay in an inn in Hearthglen for several days before heading to Lerlane's home - he was waiting for his partner to arrive in Hearthglen.

"That's it." Lalane pointed to his home. He turned back to look at Stephen and the woman beside him. Strangely enough, the woman had been silent and hid her appearance under the wrap. Lalane was suspicious.

She was ugly or had scars on her face, but Stephen said she was beautiful.

"Go in first, I think Kasha has already prepared food." Lelane opened the door.

"Let's go." Stephen took the woman's hand. They followed Lerain.

It was much warmer inside the house than outside. Stephen and Lalane's family members exchanged pleasantries.

At this moment, the woman finally took off the wrapping cloth. She was slender, had long blond hair, and a pair of bright blue eyes.

The woman took a deep breath of the clean and sweet air here, feeling as if her lungs had never been truly full before. Along her line of sight, she saw three other people - an adult and two children.

"My God, she is so beautiful." Kasha said to Stephen, and the female priest, who was about the same age as Lelane and still had a beautiful face, was looking at her.

"Her name is Mary." Stephen said proudly, and at the same time he looked at her, his eyes suggesting that it was time for her to introduce herself.

Realizing that everyone was looking at her, Mary's face turned slightly red. She nervously played with a bunch of hair and said, "My name is Mary, Mary Maris. I'm from Lordan."

Lun."

"We are also from Lordaeron. There is no need to be restrained. Please come here, my dear." Kaisha said to Mary in a loving tone. She stepped forward and held her well-maintained hand without hesitation.

At the same time, he looked at Stephen. "You have an enviable wife."

The younger paladin scratched his head and giggled twice. "Mary escaped from Lordaeron from the clutches of the Scourge, and I also met her in Stormwind City."

When she heard about the Scourge, Mary's smile turned a little sad.

"That painful day has long passed, let us forget about it." Kasha said, "I have prepared food. You must be hungry, so take a rest first."

In the entire Plague Land, there is not much land that can be cultivated, and Hearthglen accounts for almost half of it. The food prepared by Kaisha is quite clean and rich.

"I really shouldn't have left the Argent Crusade." The food on the table was very delicious. Stephen muttered while biting the bread. He was once a member of the Argent Crusade, but after the battle against the Lich King,

The Silver Northern Expedition rarely engaged in large-scale military operations. At that time, he wanted to join the war, so he later joined the Alliance.

Kasha immediately retorted: "If you don't go to Stormwind City, you will miss Mary." As she said, she found Stephen's wife smiling at her daughter. "Her name is Elsie, she is four years old.

younger sister."

Then, Lerain thought of something and asked, "Don't you have any children?"

A sudden silence hung between the two couples, awkward and heavy. The older paladin realized that he should not ask this question.

"Mary did have a child. Before we met." Stephen put down the food in his hand, held his wife's hand, and said sincerely.

In other words, Mary once had a partner and a child. But they must have left her later. The Lerains realized that this was a sad past, but Stephen actually had the courage to tell the truth.

"That was a long time ago." Mary also lowered her head. Her voice was so weak at this moment that everyone had to prick up their ears to hear it. It seemed that she was unwilling to share that past.

Just when Kai'Sa took a breath and was about to change the topic, Mary's voice sounded again. She began to tell her experience: "Lordaeron was still the beautiful and rich kingdom at that time. Everything was so beautiful, and I could talk to myself.

People who love each other are together..." Her hand fell on her flat belly, as if she was recalling the feeling of it being swollen because of a child. When she spoke this time, her voice became particularly clear. "But, the Scourge Legion

Ruined everything."

Lyraine and Kasha listened silently, with sympathy in their hearts. Stephen had heard this story, so he looked very calm.

"I remember very clearly what happened during that time. My husband and daughter and I escaped through the smelly sewers of Lordaeron. With the protection of the Holy Light, we were not caught by the Scourge. In order to avoid the disaster, we

We fled to the Silver Pine Forest with the refugees. The moment we found temporary peace, we cried hard."

Kasha reached out and held her other clenched fist, her tense muscles seemed to have irrepressible power.

"There's no need to say anything, Mary. I'm sorry for reminding you of this."

Slowly, with a bitter smile appearing on her face and shaking her head, Mary said: "It doesn't matter, I will feel better if I tell it, just like when I told Stephen." She said.

I looked at each other with my current husband, and the sadness in my heart lessened a little.

"The wave of the undead was faster than we imagined. At that time, many refugees gathered in Silverpine Forest, and more people were coming, eager to get shelter. We did get shelter, after some garrison troops and

With the help of the militia organization, we spent more than three months in peace." Mary's voice became smaller and smaller, as if she was gathering strength to tell what happened three months later. "More and more

The refugees attracted the army of the Scourge. My brother..." She bit her lips and changed her words: "All our escape routes have been blocked. The Scourge surrounded us. In order to escape, several Silvers

The Paladins of the Hand mixed soldiers and refugees together in an attempt to break out. Some succeeded, and I was one of them, but I never saw my husband and daughter again."

After saying that, Mary's eyes flashed with tears. She gave Stephen a trembling smile: "I later went to Stormwind City and met Stephen again. I don't know what made me muster up the courage to face it again.

Life. But I undoubtedly see hope again. Stephen loves me. Before we got married, his father had always opposed it. Uncle Jonathan has always rejected me. The reason is also because I have a marriage, but Stephen does not, and he is still a Paladin.

The wife he chose should also be pure. But Stephen kept begging his father. There were arguments again and again. Finally, his persistence changed his father's view. Uncle Jonathan agreed that we should be together, and also found

I asked a priest to be the witness of the marriage. With the blessing of the Holy Light, we became partners."

This is a happy ending, and the sad atmosphere in the house is much less.

"It won't be easy after you two get together. After all, Stephen often has to travel to the battlefield." Lerain said.

The person who responded was Stephen: "Actually, we only had a dispute about one thing, and that was family. Mary found out about my cousin not long ago, and then she scolded me, saying that my cousin

Although he is an undead body, he may not become as cruel and cruel as the Scourge. Especially the Forsaken led by him were recognized by Lord Fordring and made many contributions on the battlefield of Northrend. Later I

I realized that I had misunderstood my cousin, but I could never make up my mind to correct it."

"I advise him to seize this opportunity, take advantage of the alliance sending a mission to contact the Forsaken, and get back together with his brother." Mary's body relaxed. "Besides, his brother's father is still in Stormwind City.
