Chapter 391 I Want You to Think Too Much

"It's Duke Marcus!?"

"It's Duke Marcus!"

"It's really Duke Marcus!"

Orcs are very one-dimensional. They admire their own culture and heritage. Except for a very small number of people with lofty ideals, most orcs would rather fight a dragon than learn even a single character of another language.

There are not many foreign names that ordinary orcs can remember.

90% of orcs don't even know trolls are called trolls, and tend to call them 'thin ones' when needed.

However, every orc remembers a nightmare name-Duke Marcus. Also remember his flag with the blue tornado symbol.

Because this banner represents a terrible myth that no orc hero has yet to break. This myth boils down to only one meaning, and that is—the blood of half a million orcs.

From the Elwynn forest fire, to the burning of Stormwind City, to being massacred by warships flying the blue storm flag when crossing the sea, to the two meat grinder battles in Southsea Town, and to the Hinterlands being played again and again.

Duke is an absolute nightmare for orcs!

Orcs often complain that warlocks use demonic powers. But in the eyes of most orcs, Duke is the real king of demons.

According to the rumors, Duke has endless mana and countless hands of devils, unleashing the flames of hell, he can destroy the world, blow up a planet with one move, and pierce the entire universe with two moves.

Anyway, most orcs are illiterate, and the more rumors are spread, the more mysterious they become.

If Orgrim is ruling at this moment, it is the stunned young man who just came from the portal of darkness. Orgrim might even fool them and let them try it out.

Obviously, they are not.

The last elite of the Blackstone clan, but also a survivor who has been tortured and killed by Duke several times. They can kill any kingdom in the world, the owner of any banner without hesitation, except the owner of this banner.

Blackhand, the former chieftain and great chieftain, is dead.

Nearly 60,000 Blackstone elites became funeral objects in Stormwind City.

...

Even the Blackfang Clan, which was split from the Blackrock Clan, was beaten ruthlessly by an elemental giant princess who inexplicably ran out during the Arathi Highland battle not long ago, causing heavy casualties.

Almost every big victory of Duke is based on the pain of the Blackstone clan.

In the Blackstone Clan, the name of Duke, which is equivalent to the god of death, is circulated in every household.

The morale of the entire orc camp declined at a speed visible to the naked eye.

All of them lowered their heads, not even daring to look at the flag.

Orgrim, who had never drank the blood of the devil, kept the natural brown-red skin of an orc, but at this moment his face was ashen.

He was livid for the failure of his fellow clansmen.

Also livid for another matter.

"Gul'dan! That female with long ears just now used the power of the Altar of Storms?!" Orgrim grabbed Gul'dan in surprise and asked hastily.

Gul'dan glanced at it, then lowered his head and replied, "That's right."

This time, what Orgrim felt was no longer anger towards his tribe, but a biting coldness. It seemed that at such a moment, the illusory Death Scythe passed directly by his majestic body like an unfathomable cold wind.

Everything that happened after landing in Hinterland was played repeatedly in his mind like a movie.

Orgrim suddenly felt that he was a ridiculous clown dancing in the hands of ghosts and gods. Thinking that it is a good move to attract new forces to join, it is a good move to rush thousands of miles to attack the main city of the elves. Who knew that everything he did and every step he took was in Duke's calculations.

If the evidence wasn't obvious before, everything can be explained starting from cracking the rune stone.

Duke also coveted the power of the rune stone, but due to the good relationship between elves and humans, he couldn't take the initiative to do this. So he borrowed the hands of the orcs to destroy it first, and then took advantage of it himself.

The elves do not belong to the Alliance of Lordaeron, and no matter how many elves die, it has nothing to do with him as a human, nor with the alliance.

Therefore, from the perspective of a bystander, he could watch hundreds of thousands of elves being massacred by the coalition forces of them and trolls until the elves could no longer hold back.

Notoriety, of course, is all-inclusive for the Horde.

The advantage is obviously that Duke has taken it!

Although Orgrim didn't know what Duke had obtained, it was obvious that Duke had already obtained what he wanted, so at this moment, he directly set up a flag to warn the tribe.

Zuluhed looked indifferent, and muttered: "So what if Duke is here? I don't believe he can save so many long ears by himself."

"Hmph!" Orgrim snorted coldly: "Duke Marcus has nothing to do with the sacred power that his monarch believes in. He can even burn the main city of his own country. Why can't he be in the tribe? When you capture this city, burn the city with Long Ears too, and let us be buried with Long Ears?"

A guy who can be so ruthless to himself must be even more ruthless to others!

This principle seems to be very accurate.

It's a pity that Orgrim will never know that Duke's background has nothing to do with Stormwind City!

Orgrim pressed hard, and the warchief hesitated.

For Duke's defense skills, Orgrim definitely has the deepest experience. The voices of those compatriots who wailed and died under the three-dimensional blow seemed to still echo in Orgrim's ears.

If Orgrim is in the hands of the Horde army at this moment, with his back to the supply line of the Dark Portal, he can get a steady stream of orc reinforcements. Maybe Orgrim really didn't believe in evil and wanted to fight Duke.

In any case, it is quite a morale booster to wipe out the capital of a race.

That's on the premise that Duke didn't intervene.

Things have changed a lot now. Originally, Orgrim thought that Grom Hellscream's main force, even if they couldn't capture the capital of Lordaeron, the strongest kingdom of mankind, could still inflict heavy damage on the human coalition forces. Who thought that Grom's assault would be ruined by a new flame weapon invented by Duke?

But this is the news he only learned after he agreed to Zujin to attack the elves and stepped into the Eversong Forest.

Grom could no longer break through the siege relying on his own strength, he had to rely on his Blackstone clan. Then he has no capital to spend here. What's more, Duke's temperament of biting off a piece of meat even if he suffers misfortune is the most headache for Orgrim.

Based on so many things, Orgrim decided that retreat was the inevitable choice. He would never have imagined that as long as he really wanted to fight, Silvermoon City wouldn't be able to handle it at all...

"Notify Zujin! Withdraw!" the war chief ordered.
