Chapter 658: A game with the soul as a bargaining chip(1/4)

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Accompanied by fierce shelling, a small fishing village on the coast instantly turned into a sea of ​​flames.
A large number of houses made of wood cannot withstand the exaggerated range and power of naval guns, as well as the latest high-explosive shells designed and manufactured by dwarf engineers.
In just a few minutes, the entire village was completely engulfed by the soaring fire. Some people who were burned in excruciating pain even jumped down from the hillside more than ten meters high with their bodies covered in flames.
.
The lucky ones may jump into the sea to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but what awaits them will be infection caused by large-scale burns on the skin, high fever and a series of complications serious enough to threaten life.
Unless you can get treatment from a shaman, there is a high probability that you will not survive.
Even if you happen to survive, your remaining life will only be spent in endless pain and hatred.
As for those who are unlucky, they will fall heavily on the beach or rocks, and their faces may be covered in blood, their bones and tendons may be broken, or they may be killed on the spot.
Among them were what appeared to be the remains of women and children.
It can be said that except for a very small number of orcs who reacted immediately and rushed out of the house, basically all the others were killed by this round of fierce shelling.
When they were shocked and witnessed the tragic death of their relatives, friends and similar people, their blood surged and they rushed out of their hiding places like crazy. They stood on high places, raised their swords and spears and roared like wild beasts.
It seems that they want to use this method to let the humans driving battleships land and fight to the death with them.
But unfortunately, these orcs have obviously forgotten that they did much more than this when they entered Azeroth through the Dark Portal.
In the entire defenseless southern region of Stormwind Kingdom, villages and towns were almost slaughtered, and the corpses were randomly discarded nearby to be eaten by wild beasts and trolls.
Even now, in the rebuilt Kingdom of Stormwind, mutilated human skeletons can often be seen near villages and towns.
But the interesting part is that, like all perpetrators, the orcs are clearly the culprits who started this cycle of war and hatred.
But when the same thing happened to me, I couldn't bear it.
They yelled wildly using the human language they learned in the shelter mixed with the language of the orcs.
He clamored that all human beings are cowards and cowards, without any dignity and honor as a warrior, and only dared to hide on the battleship from a distance and fire at the shore.
If you have the ability, log in and have an honest fight.
From the beginning to the end, no orc has seriously reflected on what glory he has when he slaughters human civilians.
Just like the "Path of Glory" they built with Draenei bones in their hometown.
"Sir, those orcs are provoking us. Do you need me to send people to land and chop off their heads with swords?"
The first mate on the flagship slowly lowered his telescope, his eyes filled with a ruthless cold light.
There was no hint of intolerance or pity for the dead orc women and children on his face, only the joy of successful revenge.
Dai Lin also put down the telescope in his hand and responded in a very contemptuous tone: "Don't bother, just shoot and solve it.
After all, these are just a group of bloodthirsty and violent green-skinned beasts.
There is no need to give them the respect that humans, dwarves, and gnomes deserve as warriors.
What's more, we are here for revenge this time.
Revenge has no honor at all, it is just pure killing, destruction and destruction.
I will use my own hands to end these monsters from another world!"
"As you wish."
The first mate turned around without saying a word and signaled to the other officer next to him.
The latter understood instantly and quickly gave the gunners the order to attack.
In the blink of an eye, the side guns began to roar again.
The orcs who were cursing and provoking were completely transformed into broken corpses and flesh and blood flying in the sky in less than a minute.
No mercy!
No mercy!
The strongholds and villages that the orcs spent a lot of time and energy building along the coast of Azshara were all destroyed by Kul Tiras' invincible fleet in less than three days.
Those low-quality fishing boats that were like large bathtubs were all smashed or sunk without exception.
More than a thousand orcs died in this planned surprise attack.
Although they reacted quickly to organize a counterattack.
But facing Dai Lin, who didn't even go ashore and simply blocked the coastline, she had no choice at all.
After all, although Thrall and the blood orcs under his command are powerful in combat, they are not the descendants created by Zuo Si like Calia after all. Instead, they are mixed with the blood of the abyss lord, so they do not have the ability to fly.
In addition, the shaman's gradual departure from the elemental way cannot control the power of the storm to destroy the fleet as before, and now he basically just stares.
Even the airship that the tribe hired from the goblins at a high price was shot down from a long distance by unknown anti-aircraft weapons installed on the battleship during an attempted counterattack.
What's even worse is that fishing is one of the few ways for tribes that are extremely short of supplies to obtain food quickly and in large quantities.
The large amount of seafood every day accounts for almost half of the total food ration, and the rest is the sum of hunting, gathering, breeding, etc.
You must know that since the explosion of the first Well of Eternity in Azshara, except for a small number of naga and furbolgs, no other intelligent creatures have settled here in large numbers.
All kinds of fish have become extremely abundant after tens of thousands of years of reproduction, just like the coast of Stranglethorn Valley in the eastern continent.
It is precisely thanks to such amazing fishery resources that the orcs and darkspear trolls were able to settle down here with almost nothing.
But now, with the blockade of the Kul Tiras fleet, they have directly lost half of their food sources.
This is extremely fatal to any regime.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! For this reason, Thrall had to order to reduce the rations of all hard workers by half, and the rations of warriors and hunters were reduced to 70% of the original.
But even so, it is still difficult to make ends meet.
The dried meat, dried fish, nuts and other food reserves that have been saved with great difficulty are also being consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this moment, Thrall was obviously forced into a blind corner.
On the one hand, he failed to participate in the Battle of Mount Hyjal as he wished, proving to the night elves and other races that the orcs are not bloodthirsty and cruel beasts. He also failed to gain understanding and obtain the legal right to exist, and there was no guarantee of safety at all.
.
On the other hand, the arrival of Navy Commander Dai Lin and the Kul Tiras fleet once again ignited the internal warlike sentiments that had been finally calmed down.
Countless warriors influenced by the old tribe have begun to be dissatisfied with the current peace policy, and even more so, they are clamoring that since the native residents of this world are unwilling to accept the orcs, then use swords to turn them all into slaves.
Their brains, which are not much bigger than squirrels, simply do not understand that this is no longer the time when the tribe had just passed through the Dark Portal and its troops were strong. The situation of the orcs can no longer be described as bad, but is on the verge of annihilation.
The more tough you act at this time, the more disgust, resentment and hostility you will arouse from the native residents of Azeroth.
Especially the humans who have made deadly enemies, now no longer have any kindness and compassion, and it is even less possible to build prisoner-of-war shelters to give the surrendered orcs a way to survive like they did in the last war.
Because this road has been blocked by Sal himself.
Now, he must find a way out for his compatriots in this desperate situation.
Guided by these, the young chief couldn't help but take a deep breath, raised his head and looked out the window at the excited warriors gathered together, with a helpless and sad look on his face.
Sometimes he even wonders if he made a mistake when he promised Orgrimmar to take over the position of warchief.
Perhaps having grown up in human society and receiving human education and ideas, I am simply not suitable to lead the orcs who are still stuck in the primitive clan society.
Because the two are completely opposite in terms of ideas and values.
When orcs encounter problems or conflicts, the first thing they always think of is to use violence to solve them.
Their idea is very naive and stupid, that is, as long as the person causing the problem and conflict is gone, things will be solved naturally.
But when human beings encounter the same situation, they often tend to reach an agreement acceptable to both parties through law, negotiation, etc. without resorting to violence.
Only after conflicts become irreconcilable will violence become an option.
At the beginning, Thrall felt that he could slowly go through a series of transformations to gradually make these compatriots less impulsive and have the ability to think calmly and rationally like humans.
But now it seems that he obviously made a mistake, a very, very huge mistake.
Things like this involving tradition and culture cannot be changed casually.
Although everyone talked about bravery and honor before, it seems that everyone has stepped out of the darkness of the past and is embracing a brand new future.
But once this kind of dilemma occurs, the brutality and ferocity in the orcs' bones will be stimulated, making it very difficult to communicate and manage.
To be continued...
