Tirion Fordring was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
General Tuyang makes a good point. The Orcs are currently embroiled in internal strife, and Varian is a weakling who can't be helped. If Tirion Fordring can step forward, he might very well gain the favor of the Moon Goddess.
But this involves taking great risks, even risking one's life and fortune.
Seeing that Tirion Fordring was interested, General Tuyang continued:
"Thrall, though bearing the title of Savior, acts cruelly and ruthlessly, bringing disaster to all. Varian, as the leader of the Alliance, is cowardly and incompetent, only capable of harming his own people. The Scourge has plunged the Alliance and the Horde into crisis; now is the perfect opportunity!"
Tirion Fordring frowned deeply, pondering for a long time, but in the end, fear prevailed.
"No, I can't do that. The Savior Thrall has been a savior to me, like a second parent to me. I absolutely cannot betray him."
General Tuyang did not give up and continued to persuade him:
"Tirion Fordring, I know you like Jaina. If you become the ruler of the Alliance and the Horde, you will be the most powerful person in Azeroth, and Jaina will definitely throw herself at you."
Recalling Jaina's charming appearance, especially her radiant blonde hair, Tirion Fordring was once again captivated, but considering the risks involved, Tirion Fordring hesitated once more.
"Stop talking. I, Tirion Fordring, have always acted with integrity and have never wronged anyone in my life. I have always been upright and honest, and I would never do such a betrayal. I cannot bear the shame."
General Tuyang was very disappointed and said sarcastically:
"Tirion Fordring, have you forgotten being tied to a dining table by the Orcs, having your flesh eaten at will? Have you forgotten the torture you suffered? Doesn't your heart hold hatred?"
That was a great humiliation for Tirion Fordring, how could he allow outsiders to comment on it? Tirion Fordring was furious and roared:
"Don't talk nonsense. Orcs are kind and benevolent. Thrall, the Savior, Thrall the world in his heart. How could he do such a cruel thing? Don't listen to those rumors."
General Tuyang shook his head in disappointment and patiently explained:
"Tirion Fordring! Don't you understand? This is your only chance to save yourself. The loss of five thousand Orcs will surely draw criticism from Garrosh and other opposition figures, Thrall will seize the opportunity to make a big fuss. Therefore, Thrall can only send someone out to bear this sin, and you, Tirion Fordring, are the best choice."
"Impossible, I trust Thrall's character." Tirion Fordring categorically denied it, but his face was pale, clearly General Tuyang's speculation had touched a nerve.
General Tuyang sighed, "Tirion Fordring, you'd better watch yourself. You'll regret it if you don't heed my advice. I just hope you don't die a horrible death!"
After General Tuyang left, Tirion Fordring was restless. He knew Thrall well and knew that Thrall was very likely to make Tirion Fordring take the blame for his own authority.
Tirion Fordring was born tough on humans, but he became cowardly and timid when he saw Orcs. When the Orcs invaded, he was powerless to do anything and was terrified of Orcs from the bottom of his heart.
This made Tirion Fordring hesitate, unable to make a decision, and he missed a good opportunity.
Such a huge event has occurred in Icecrown Glacier. Garrosh, who has been out of the public eye for many days, has declared: This is all Thrall's conspiracy. Thrall colluded with the Scourge to slaughter his own people.
Saurfang the Great also delivered an important speech in Orgrimmar, accusing Thrall of inaction. He said that the deaths of five thousand brave Orcs soldiers were all Thrall's fault and that he was not qualified to be Warchief.
Thrall was prepared for this. With the wisdom of a leader, Thrall knew that this matter could not be left unresolved, otherwise, where would the authority of the Savior be, and how could he win the hearts of the people?
Although the truth of the matter is unclear, it does not prevent Thrall from standing up for Justice. In this situation, Tirion Fordring is the most distant from Thrall, becomes the perfect scapegoat.
Thrall acted swiftly; with the help of the Dalaran Mages, five hundred Orcs soldiers were teleported from Orgrimmar, which reassured Thrall somewhat.
Meanwhile, Thrall wrote a letter to Jaina.
After some haggling, Thrall agreed to offer all the Argent Crusade's profits in Northrend, including large quantities of ores, precious herbs, Tuskarr pelts, and more, in exchange for Jaina's support.
That night, while Tirion Fordring was fast asleep, dozens of Orcs soldiers suddenly burst through the door and grabbed Ashbringer. Upon seeing the Orcs, Tirion Fordring's limbs went weak, and Ashbringer fell to the ground.
The Orcs soldiers cruelly broke Tirion Fordring's limbs and cut out his tongue, dragging Tirion Fordring all the way to Thrall's Tent.
Inside the tent, it was warm and cozy, Thrall and Jaina chatted happily.
The two were devouring a plump Tauren, their laughter echoing through the air. Tirion Fordring tossed it to the ground like trash, Thrall, without even looking up, casually remarked:
"The Betrayer Tirion Fordring, to save Azeroth and to destroy the Scourge, I must borrow your life. You must feel extremely honored to die for the great Savior."
Tirion Fordring, having lost his tongue, could only whimper and look at Thrall pleadingly.
Jaina looked at Tirion Fordring, whose face was covered in blood, with a look of disgust, and whispered:
"Look at him, he reminds me of Grom Hellscream, his fawning and obsequious expression disgusts me."
Thrall chuckled coldly, "That's right, Tirion Fordring is the Orcs' dog. They fatten him up so he can be slaughtered and eaten, to serve his final purpose."
The next day, Thrall convened the Tirion Fordring Trial, and almost all the officers of the Argent Crusade were present, forming a large, dark mass in the square.
Around the square, a large group of ordinary soldiers gathered to watch the spectacle, commenting on Tirion Fordring's appearance on the high platform.
At this moment, Tirion Fordring was hanging upside down from a wooden pole, swaying slightly.
Hundreds of Orcs Warriors and thousands of Theramore soldiers surrounded the high platform. Jaina stood warily beside Thrall, ready to escape quickly if things went wrong.
Thrall ascended the high platform and delivered a loud speech:
"Years ago, a human Paladin entered Orgrimmar, and I gave him a warm welcome. He then exclaimed: 'I have seen the noblest Orcs and the most despicable humans.' Yes, this man is none other than Tirion Fordring, whom you all know. The noblest Orcs, of course, is me, the great Savior, but I still don't know who the most despicable human is!"
"Only today do I realize that the most despicable human being is himself. On the surface, he is the leader of the Argent Crusade, leading the Alliance and the Horde against the Evil Scourge, but in private, he has been colluding with the Scourge. Since entering Northrend, the Argent Crusade has suffered heavy losses. As the Savior, I had my suspicions and came to investigate, only to discover that Tirion Fordring betrayed innocent Argent Crusade Warrior to the Scourge for his own glory."
Thrall's speech caused a huge uproar in the Argent Crusade.
Any member of the Argent Crusade with a brain would quickly realize upon entering Northrend that Tirion Fordring was Orcs with Thrall and the orcs.
But no one dared to voice their opposition openly; they could only praise Thrall.
General Tuyang was the first to step forward, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, saying:
"Great Savior, be our savior!"
With this leader taking the lead, the officers of the Argent Crusade followed suit, kneeling down in large numbers.
"Savior, we beg you to kill the Evil Tirion Fordring and avenge our brothers."
Thrall and Jaina exchanged a knowing smile. The Argent Crusade were indeed a bunch of Imp; Tirion Fordring was doomed.
