War Hymn of Warcraft [WOW]: Chapter 11 Galadar

Galadar is an orc village located in the Nagrand Grassland where the orcs originated. The heirs of many famous orc heroes live here. In addition to Garrosh Hellscream, there are also the heirs of the Deadeye tribe and the heirs of King Saurfang. Led by Grandmother Gaiaan, this is a town entirely populated by Mag'har-aligned orcs, a group of reclusive brown orcs who have escaped the corruption of demons and kept ancient traditions alive in the shattered Outland.

However, the village is not very peaceful and peaceful. With the rise of the brutal Warmaul ogres in Nagrand, Mag'har faces a formidable foe. To make matters worse, the evil Darkblood Breaker has sacked the orc village at Sunspring Watch. It is one of the only two Mag'har strongholds in Nagrand.

As the orcs fought against these two foes, another threat simmered in the shadows. An unknown mysterious force is harassing the spirits of the long-sleeping orc ancestors, making the orcs feel weaker about the spirits of the ancestors. Recently, unless it is an ancestor who has just passed away, the orcs can't even feel the power of the spirit of the ancestors.

The spirit of the ancestors, as the name suggests, refers to the souls of people who have passed away. This is the difference between the orc shamans who admire the power of the ancestors and the shamans of Draenei. Because Draenei's first shaman was Nobundo the Prophet, and he became a shaman because he heard the voice of the elements, so Draenei's shaman focused more on the power of the elements, and rarely Use the power of "ancestral soul". Even Nobundo himself learned this knowledge because of "need to know".

But for the orcs whose entire history is a clan system, they are more inclined to recognize the words and deeds of their ancestors, which makes the profession of shaman biased towards the direction of "priest". Prophecy, prayer, sacrifice, and assisting the chief to control the development direction of the tribe are their tasks. Just like Galadar, who Zhan Zhixing is rushing to now, its actual leader is a shaman—grandmother Gaiyaan.

As the oldest group of orcs during the orc expedition, she did not drink the blood of the devil, but stayed in Draenor with the "old, weak, sick and disabled" of the orcs at that time. However, while the power of the Dark Portal was tearing Draenor apart, the area where grandmother Gaiyaan and the orcs led by her who were not cursed by the blood of demons were located, the Nagrand prairie of Gu Township of the orcs was amazing. Not much damage was done.

Because after he arrived at the portal, he did not see the scouts from SI:7, so Zhan Zhixing was sure that the teleportation was random. However, the scouts carry all kinds of engineering products on their bodies, so they are not afraid of accidentally falling into the sky like Zhan Zhixing. According to Velen's prophecy before he came, there are still three months before the Dark Portal opens. According to Varian's tactical arrangement, in the first month, the scouts will draw a complete map of the entire Outland. If there is a dangerous place that cannot be entered, they will first try to solve it with engineering items, and the places that cannot be solved will be highlighted.

Because the restriction of the cross-boundary portal is only for living bodies, but it will not affect inanimate materials. So in the second and third months, the scouts will focus on selecting some locations, and secretly establish The alliance's frontline base - don't forget, the alliance and the Horde are still hostile relations. Of course, some of the bases established by the scouts will also be shared with the tribe as a common property, so as to facilitate the normal progress of this coalition expedition to Outland.

Most of what Zhan Zhixing needs to do will be concentrated in one month later, when he will survey the areas marked by the scouts one by one. In particular, the location of the high-level generals of the Burning Legion needs to be surveyed and marked, so that the expeditionary army can occupy the outer domain before the demons react.

Anyway, there is nothing to do this month, so I will stay in the orc tribe for a while, and make another plan after a month. Zhan Zhixing thought so in his heart, it would not be his purpose to take this opportunity to learn shaman spells about the souls of the ancestors.

The nervous Garrosh didn't feel the violent thoughts of the "orc shaman" in front of him. Soon, Malak drove the two of them to the gate of Galadar.

Judging from the outside, Galadar is a relatively low hillside, and on the top of the hill lives the actual leader of the current clan, Grandmother Gaiyaan. To the north of the mountain is the Throne of Elements. After the Draenor continent was shattered, Draenor’s original four elemental spirit abilities were also greatly eroded. Later, after hearing the shaman’s call, they ran here to recuperate and take shelter. The only remaining pure blood of the orcs. Due to the considerable time difference between Outland and Azeroth, it was early in the morning when Zhan Zhixing set off from Azeroth, but now in Outland, the sun has just set, and the last sunset shines on Gala Dahl's buildings seem to have coated everything with a layer of gold.

"What a beautiful sunset. This is our Galadar. Its name is based on Galadar, the late leader of the Frostwolf clan and the companion of Gaia'an's grandmother. That was a great chieftain. He His son is also the only orc who sticks to his nature in the end."

Garrosh slowed his pace with Malak, and jumped off the warg at the main entrance. Seeing his actions, Zhan Zhixing also jumped down.

"Be careful not to fall again, shaman." Garrosh saw Zhan Zhixing's actions and helped him by the way, "Our ethnic group is in urgent need of shaman priests, and every shaman treats us They are all very precious.”

It sounds like I'm fragile glass, but I'm also a majestic level 90 paladin, the man who once overthrew the Black Dragon Princess, okay? Because Zhan Zhixing was afraid of making mistakes with too many words, he kept a state of reticence, so he had to complain silently in his heart. Seeing that Zhan Zhixing jumped down smoothly, Garrosh nodded in satisfaction, turned his head and walked into the village built by the mountains.

It is an exaggeration to say that this is the gate of Galadar. Galadar does not have a "city wall" in the actual sense. The outermost circle of the village is only surrounded by a circle of fences to prevent the entry of wild animals. As far as Zhan Zhixing could see, several teams of wolf cavalry in heavy armor were patrolling around the fence. Each team had about three to five people. It seemed that they were the main force of the city defense.

"Master Patriarch, you're back." As soon as he entered the gate, a group of patrolling wolf cavalry came up to meet him. The leading wolf cavalry nodded to Garrosh, and pointed to the Zhanzhi line behind Garrosh. "Who is this? Why haven't I seen it in the village before? Could it be that he came here from other scattered orc tribes?"

"That's right, he's an orc left over from the Blade's Edge Mountains. He came to Nagrand just because of an accident this time," Garrosh might have seen Zhan Zhixing's shyness (it wasn't), Xing explained to the leading wolf cavalryman, "I'm still a shaman, and we have another shaman in our group. Also, I've been told not to call me Lord Patriarch, we Mag'har don't have these rules."

"Anyway, it's coming soon. If Grandma Gaiyaan can't make it through this time, she will definitely let you establish Mag'har as a new clan, and you must be the new chief." The leading wolf An orc behind the cavalry muttered in a low voice, but both Garrosh and the wolf cavalry who led the team heard it. The latter shot a knife in the eye, and the orc immediately shut up.

Perhaps because he was afraid that the atmosphere would be too embarrassing, Garrosh quickly asked about the business: "By the way, hasn't that hunting party returned yet? It's already night."

The leading wolf cavalryman shook his head and sighed, "Recently, the Riquan sentry just fell, and the ogres and Kilsorrow cultists are eyeing our people. They haven't come back at this time, I'm afraid it's already... "

"No, it won't." Garrosh interrupted the wolf cavalry before he could finish speaking, "We have to believe that the spirits of the ancestors will protect them, well, let me take the new shaman first Go to Gaiyaan's grandmother, you continue to patrol first."

"Obey." The leading wolf cavalry looked straight, and continued their patrol mission with the wolf. Garrosh, on the other hand, continued to walk up the mountain with his will to fight.

Although he knew that Garrosh was the military commander of Galadar before, it was the first time he knew that he had such an important position on Mag'har's side. Zhan Zhixing couldn't hold back his curiosity and stepped forward to Garrosh asked, "They say you'll be the new warchief? What's going on..."

Garrosh's complexion suddenly became gloomy, and he said in a neutral tone: "How can a person like me be a chieftain, and sooner or later he will walk on the same old path as my father... What are you talking about so much, hurry up and talk to me." Come on, maybe Grandma Gaiyaan will be resting later."

Before Zhan Zhixing could react, Garrosh suddenly quickened his pace and headed towards the top of the mountain. Zhan Zhixing immediately knew that he seemed to have said something wrong, so he could only scratch his head embarrassingly, followed Garrosh's pace, and looked at the whole of Galadar at the same time.

The overall style of Galadar is very similar to the architecture of the Draenei, probably because the Draenei were the first civilizations to contact, and the style of the houses of the orcs was more or less influenced by them. A kind of brick house with an elliptical dome, but unlike the Draenei who used crystals as windows everywhere, the houses of the Mag'har basically did not seal the doors and windows, and it was easy to see the situation inside the house along the outside. As the setting sun has slowly set, torches have been lit in many households, and the dark red flames are shining along the windows. At the foot of the mountain, on the only way for the two to go to the top of the mountain, Zhan Zhixing also saw a bonfire, and a group of orcs were sitting beside them talking about something.

Before the two of them got to the campfire, the group of orcs sitting by the campfire had noticed them—to be precise, they had noticed Garrosh. One of the orcs stood up from the campfire and yelled at Garrosh:

"Garrosh, come here."
