Chapter 362: Separation
Thrall continued to live and study according to the orc tradition as before. Grommash also regained his original spirit. At the same time, he swore to Thrall to revive the tribe and made it clear that he needed Thrall's strength.
A few days later, Thrall went out hunting with Grommash's hunting team, and relied on the various knowledge he learned on Kozan Island to help more and more. After hunting with them more times, Thrall's ability to capture wild beasts in the wild with orc traps has improved a lot. This time he will not be hungry if he is left alone in the woods. Thrall's efforts also made the Warsong Clan accept him. This is the first time that Thrall feels a sense of belonging outside of Kozan Island.
Thrall, who found a sense of belonging, has not contacted Kozan Island in the past few days. After Kozan Island confirmed that Thrall was safe, they no longer let Valeera follow him. Valeera is not a full-time bodyguard. Now the only one protecting Thrall is Onyxia, who is out of their sight. Fina has also returned to Richard's side. Richard and Sylvanas have returned to Quel'Thalas. Richard bought a piece of land in Quel'Thalas and is building a fortress to be prepared. There is also good news from Alterac. The orc soldiers there found traces left by intelligent creatures and are now looking for more clues.
Thrall's good days were broken again after just a few days. A search team came back and reported very bad news.
The reporter was the warrior who had fought with Thrall, Lake: "Chief! There is news!"
"You tell us, tell us in front of all of us." Grommash said while eating the food brought back by Thrall.
Lake glanced at Thrall casually, and then said: "As you command, Chief, humans have started to sweep the forest again! There are at least 5,000 people! There are even a combination of paladins and mages in this human army!" The
relationship between the lower levels of the paladin class and the lower levels of the mage is very bad. When a unit has both paladins and mages, it means that the mission or goal of this unit is very important to their leader.
Grommash frowned, and it was obvious that he had not faced a Paladin and a Mage at the same time very often.
Compared to Grommash's careful thinking, Lake, who came to report, was very nervous: "Chief! It was this strange guy who led these people here! Without him, there would be no such people! How long has it been since humans entered this forest? If they find our cave, we will most likely be sent to that damn concentration camp by those damn humans! I would rather die in battle than go to such a place as a lamb!"
"None of this will happen," Grommash said unhappily, "Thall didn't put us in danger. It was my decision to let him stay. Do you have any doubts about this?"
Riker lowered his head immediately: "No doubt, my chief."
Grommash pointed at Thrall and said, "Then Thrall will stay!"
Thrall sighed and said, "Thank you, great chief, but Riker is right, I must go, regardless of whether these people are because of me... Please rest assured, when I leave again, I will definitely show them a wrong path. This time it is a correct clue that will keep them away from you."
Grommash Thrall directly rejected it: "But Thrall, we need you too. I need you to stay by my side and give me advice, and then we will go together to rescue the brothers in the concentration camp!"
Thrall shook his head and said, "Winter is coming. It is difficult to feed an army in the mountains. And before I stand with you to liberate our brothers, I have something I must do. I must find my clan, the Frostwolf Clan. I want to meet my closest compatriots. I want to know who I am and where I come from. I must know these."
Grommash closed his mouth and stared at Thrall without saying a word. After a long time, Grommash nodded helplessly.
"Although the rage for revenge burns in my heart, I will hold it back for now. I know you are wise, and you are right that winter is not suitable for fighting. Our brothers are suffering in captivity, but that strange laziness may make them feel better. They can spend a very warm and safe winter in the concentration camp. There is still enough time for the sunshine of freedom to shine on them, which is much better than us. In addition, regarding your clan, I don’t know exactly where the Frostwolf Clan lives, but I know in my heart that if you want to find them, you will succeed. You have the ability."
"Thank you." Thrall pursed his lips and thanked, "There is no time to waste, I will set off tomorrow morning!"
"Well, okay..." Grommash closed his eyes in disappointment and lay down on the bed.
The next day, Thrall packed his luggage, Primadis's prop bag, the Hammer of Destruction, and some food, and came to the door to say goodbye to Grommash. Grommash stopped him.
"This is for you." Grommash took off a necklace from his neck and continued, "This is the trophy of my first battle. I engraved my own symbol on it. If you encounter other clans, any clan chief will recognize it and they will not hurt you."
Thrall refused. Grommash insisted on giving it to him. Thrall continued to refuse. Grommash simply put the necklace on him. Thrall said to him, "Take it! Even if it's just for decoration, it's much better than the crappy beast tooth you carry."
Thrall couldn't get him to agree, and looked at Grommash with a smile. It was just ordinary pressure. This was the tooth of Onyxia, the daughter of the Black Dragon King, but it was covered with some hidden spells. He couldn't refute it either. Orc teeth are orc teeth. It's better than being exposed.
"I will take the humans away from you." Thrall said with certainty.
"It doesn't matter even if you don't do that," Hell roared. "We will tear them to pieces if they come."
Grommash laughed very rudely, and Thrall laughed along with him. With laughter, he set out for the cold north, the mountains where his clan was located.
Thrall detoured in Grommash's territory for several hours, and turned in the direction of the small village where he stole food and scared the villagers. He did not go too close, because his sensitive ears had already heard the sound of soldiers. But he did leave some clues for these new people to find out. Grommash was preparing to migrate to buy them time, but a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky and stopped his plan.
