61. The first step(1/2)
In the dense forest of the Hinterlands, Blake is "confronting" the legendary assassin.
The confrontation that just happened only lasted a few seconds, but it allowed the pirates to use all their cards, but they also failed to gain anything from Garona. The orc assassin on the treetop covered part of her body with shadow, making her look like a shadow.
The package is the same.
It's not very clear.
It's very quiet in the jungle.
From the burning troll ruins not far away, one could vaguely hear the roars of human infantry as they raided in groups and slaughtered the orcs and trolls who had lost their command.
Those sounds did not disturb the atmosphere in the forest, which was not considered friendly, but it was not considered tense either.
Faced with Garona's previous inquiry, Blake stood up straight.
He said:
"I am a Kul Tiran, and I have my own responsibility for this war, but revenge for King Llane Wrynn is not in my plan.
My relationship with Ms. Pasonia is not as close as you think.
We just worked together.
And I think Ms. Shore will be very happy after confirming the news of your escape from the tribe. Perhaps she will soon bring the Avengers from MI7 to the Hinterlands to complete the hunt for you.
You really pissed her off."
Facing the malice in Blake's words, Garona didn't react much.
The legendary orc assassin looked Blake up and down. After a few seconds, the orc commented neutrally without a trace of emotion:
"The fleet that the tribe tried their best to put together is like a helpless child in front of Daelin. We have never seen such a powerful fleet in Draenor.
You Kul Tirans have really caused a lot of trouble for Blackhand and Orgrim."
"For this, as a Kul Tiran, I am honored."
Blake chuckled.
The two fell silent again at the same time. After a few seconds, Blake took the initiative and said:
"Well, the pleasantries are over, Ms. Garona, let's go back to the previous question, why are you following me?"
"Because of Sanxu."
Garona replied calmly:
"After I escaped from Treyig's custody, I saw military reports with the same content at the human and orc headquarters. I knew that the powerful old Dal was dead and died at the hands of human assassins.
But I didn't expect that I would be able to see Sanxu in the Hinterlands.
I'm just a little curious about the assassins who can get Sankesu from Old Dar. Maybe you used some tricks to kill Old Dar, but victory is victory.
My curiosity has now been satisfied.
You can go.
Don't go to Lake Varowen. If Saurfang knows that Sanxu is in your hands, that legendary warrior will actively join the hunt for you.
And with the fighting power you just showed, once he catches his eye, you will be dead."
"I have heard about Varok Saurfang of the Blackstone Clan and his famous 'death killing'. His head is very valuable on Ravenholdt's bounty list.
Thank you for the reminder, ma'am."
Blake shrugged and said:
"But something happened suddenly. Rather than continuing to hunt orcs in the Hinterlands, I am more interested in your next actions and plans. Are you going to cause trouble with Gul'dan and the Shadow Council?
Are you going to Quel'Thalas?"
Garona did not answer this question, her face was expressionless, and it was obvious that she did not intend to reveal her itinerary to the human counterpart in front of her.
She seemed to have lost interest in talking and turned to leave.
"You shouldn't go to Quel'Thalas. Gul'dan won't stay there for long."
Blake looked at her back and continued:
"You are the most powerful assassin in the Shadow Council, and you were trained by Gul'dan. You should have had a hunch that Gul'dan has long lost interest in this war.
Like all warlocks, he is looking for his own interests outside of big things, and he is looking for something more terrifying."
Garona's steps into the shadows stopped.
She turned around, looked at Blake without saying a word, and said:
"I know Ravenholdt is very powerful, but has your intelligence capability reached this point? Do you have an informant in the Shadow Council? Who betrayed Gul'dan and leaked such secrets to you?"
"I have my own news channel."
Blake crossed his arms and said loudly to Garona who showed interest:
“The evil warlock who single-handedly led the orcs to fall and killed the world of Draenor gave Orgrim advice and exaggerated the weakness of the high elves.
And you have found forest trolls as allies for your warchief.
But as a spellcaster, he knows better than anyone else.
With just a few vanguards in Orgrim's hands, even with Zul'jin, the leader of the Amani Trolls, helping them, they would not be able to capture Silvermoon City in a short period of time.
Gul'dan just wanted to draw the battlefield between the Alliance and the Horde there and create an opportunity for him to escape.
That's just a trick.
If you really go to Quel'Thalas, you will lose your last chance, and I don't mean to anger you, but with Gul'dan holding the Orb of Overlord.
As long as you dare to show up, you will be finished."
"Um?"
Garona's eyes became dangerous. She stared at Blake and said:
"You even know about the Dominion Orb?"
"I know a lot of things. As I said, I have my own channels for information."
Blake waved his hand, as if to whet his appetite, and said half-heartedly, half-explicitly:
"I also know that part of your soul was extracted by Gul'dan when you were a child and sealed in the Orb of Dominance. This is why you are unable to resist him at all.
Gul'dan trained you with his own hands. He knows better than anyone how dangerous you are. He doesn't dare to let go of the dog leash around your neck. Well, let me emphasize it again.
I don't mean to anger you.
I just speak more straightforwardly.
In fact, I think he has accurately calculated all your actions. He knows that Orgrim doesn't trust him at all.
So he deliberately left you in the custody of Orgrim's loyal subordinates and let you be tortured by them. He also knew that you could escape as long as you were given a slight chance.
As long as you escape, you will assassinate him at all costs.
Then he was easily controlled by him again.
The knife thrown out will automatically return to the owner's hand.
This time, the nosy Khadgar will no longer be able to help you get out of control, and you will be thrown into his dangerous plan to buy him the time he needs."
Having said this, the pirate shook his head and said:
"Don't go to Quel'Thalas, go to Southsea Town."
Blake waved his hand and said decisively:
"Wait patiently there for up to a month, and Gul'dan will take the initiative to send himself to you. By then, I hope your double blades will be ready for revenge and freedom.
Of course, I'm just giving you a suggestion."
After saying that, the pirate ignored Garona's answer, turned around and jumped into the shadows. Under Garona's gaze, Black quickly threw out the hook and headed out of the dense forest.
He didn't seem to care at all whether Garona would adopt his suggestion.
It's like, it's really just a simple suggestion.
"whispering sound"
The legendary half-orc assassin disappeared in the shadow of the treetops. She made a snort of disdain, not that she despised the meticulous logic Black had just shown.
I just simply hate the conspiracy atmosphere in those words.
She was very familiar with this tone and way of speaking.
The Shadow Council where she grew up was full of such conspirators, and those clever guys would never take the initiative to reveal their intentions.
They will only say that a certain plan is good for both parties, and they will try their best to exaggerate the future that is so real that it is unimaginable.
But once you follow their steps and take the first step.
You will become cannon fodder in their hands.
Garona and Blake have no friendship at all.
She doesn't intend to follow Blake's thinking. She may adopt that suggestion, but it must be a decision made by herself based on the information she has collected and her own thinking.
To be continued...
