Chapter 347: The Manual and the Past

At the edge of a forest somewhere in the Eastern Kingdom, there was a campfire.

Thrall sat by the campfire and flipped through the manual. This was the first time in his life that he camped outdoors as a leader. If it were him, Thrall might have just found a random place to sleep. Now there were still a hundred soldiers who needed his command and care.

So Thrall only had them cut down trees to build a camp, and built a temporary lookout house on the tree trunks. After the defense was arranged, Thrall sat by the campfire and flipped through the experience of his clan and his father that Richard had compiled for him. The manual contained the narration of veterans, the memories of Gul'dan, and speculations. Thrall needs to understand this before he can disband his father's tribe...

The Frostwolf Clan was once a very powerful tribe, one of the seven most powerful tribes in Draenor. They used to dance in the sun, feel the blood of their enemies in the sunlight reflected on their metal weapons, they used to stick together with a large number of tribesmen, and when they launched an attack, they would become a brown or green torrent of death sweeping everywhere. They used to enjoy great feasts together, and the old orcs would tell the children about their heroic stories in the past. However, the Frostwolf Clan is now very desolate, with only a small number of orcs living a very pitiful and difficult life in the coldest area of ​​the Alterac Mountains, and they are accompanied only by their loyal wild wolf friends.

As the name suggests, the Frostwolf Clan's totem and companion are the white wolves. The patience and tenacity of the wolves made Durotan's ancestors choose them. Generation after generation of shamans have won the trust of these beasts through their own strength. They hunt and fight together, and wolf riders have become the most threatening weapon in the Frostwolf Clan's arsenal. After being exiled, their living habits have not changed. Orcs and wolves still hunt together. The only difference is that there are abundant beasts in their hometowns, but there are few beasts in the Alterac Mountains, and they have to avoid being hunted by humans. So the settled orcs became nomadic. In the wild, their wild wolf companions will snuggle with them for warmth.

Why did the Frostwolf Clan, one of the Seven Heroes of Draenor, end up like this? There is only one reason, that is, they opposed Gul'dan's policy and were unwilling to carry out endless killing in the new world. Their Draenor was originally a very beautiful world, but because of the power of demons pursued by Gul'dan, the world was destroyed and the Frostwolf Clan's homeland, Frostfire Ridge, was also broken into pieces. They moved their clan to Nagrand, the only pure land in Draenor. Although the environment here is beautiful, it is not peaceful. Battles are happening every day, and clans are dying and being established every day.

And Durotan is also very resistant to demon blood and refuses to drink it. It's a pity that he couldn't stop the progress of history. His children who were brown-skinned had green skin. He never thought that his children would be contaminated by the fel energy...

Gul'dan pursued endless power. If he was just pursuing power, it is very likely that no one would stand up to criticize him or oppose him. Gul'dan's pursuit of power caused the people of various tribes to suffer varying degrees. Gul'dan and other tribes are of the same tribe, but he never cared about those tribes. Every life was a pawn of Gul'dan.

This was only within the tribe. Outside the tribe, he murdered the Draenei who had always maintained peace with them. Gul'dan commanded the orcs to almost exterminate the Draenei race. Countless orcs fell there, and now they are going to attack an innocent world. This is something Durotan cannot tolerate.

Durotan is not a pacifist. He never backs down in clan disputes and he is never weak in battle. But he opposed fearless wars, especially because the final result of these wars was just for one person, for the power that Gul'dan pursued, for those empty promises, for those empty things, countless brothers of theirs would die in a foreign land...

and the final facts also proved the correctness of Durotan's opposition. Gul'dan abandoned his own people, causing the entire tribe to fall into a huge crisis and eventually leading to the defeat of the tribe. The name Gul'dan also became the biggest sinner of the orc race.

But, at that time, Durotan was indeed one of the few. He told his speculation to several chieftains, but no one believed him, and Gul'dan also removed the Frostwolf Clan from the tribe and called them scum among the orcs.

Despite this, Durotan did not give up. He knew that some people were paying attention to him and some people doubted him. He believed that as long as he went to those chieftains and tried to convince them that what he said was true, these chieftains would gather their people and overthrow Gul'dan's tyranny.

However, fate made Durotan's life end here. This time, he and his wife Draka went to see their old friend Orgrim. Hammer of Destruction. Because Thrall was still young, Draka, who had just become a mother, decided to take Thrall with her. Originally, Durotan did not agree with Draka going. But Draka was also an extremely outstanding warrior, and her fighting skills were not even inferior to her husband. After a series of domestic violence, Durotan, with blood on his face, finally agreed to Draka.

The three of them went to the tribe of Hammer of Destruction very smoothly. Orgrim Hammer of Destruction personally received them. The two childhood friends drank and talked happily. The scene was very happy.

According to the soldiers who were guarding at that time, Durotan talked and laughed with Hammer of Destruction at first, and then Durotan said to Hammer of Destruction, but the soldiers didn't know what he said because their voices were too soft. But Hammer of Destruction's expression was very interesting. At first, he was very serious, then his brows were wrinkled and he looked very suspicious, then his expression became very shocked, and finally he became very calm.

This is Durotan telling Doomhammer his guess about Gul'dan. Various signs later showed that Doomhammer believed Durotan's words. However, Doomhammer arranged Durotan and his wife by a quiet stream. That night, an assassination occurred and Durotan and Draka were killed. Before Draka died, she put Thrall in a carrier and let it drift away downstream. As a result, he was picked up by Blackmoore who happened to be hunting. So, the ambitious Blackmoore took the child back to his territory to raise him.

As for the Frostwolf clan, the tribe was massacred. The lucky survivors were led by the priest Drek'Thar and relocated the clan. They bypassed Stormwind City, crossed the defense line of Stromgarde, changed their route to the Hinterlands, and finally reached the mountains of Alterac, where they settled down...
