Chen Stormstout stared at Anachronos, gritting his teeth as he asked:
What are Bronze Dragonflight' thoughts on Thrall's return?
Anachronos shrugged. "You all know that the Dragonkin helped Thrall under pressure; they were a powerful force we couldn't resist."
Khadgar thought for a moment and said to Anachronos:
"We understand the difficulties Dragonkin, but I hope you can try your best to stand by my side."
Although the Dragonkin faces terrible pressure, it's not impossible to cope with it if they think of a way.
Anachronos hesitated for a moment. "Dragonkin have dignity, and I don't want to live in Thrall's shadow. Many young Bronze Dragonflight have been eaten by Thrall, so you can rest assured."
Mar'gok's eyes darted around. "They say the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Thrall destroyed the Black Temple at the cost of millions of Orcs, ending Illidan's rule in Outland. Their conflict is irreconcilable. I suggest we make peace with Illidan and join forces against Thrall."
Chen Stormstout's eyes lit up. Compared to Thrall, the fierce and domineering Illidan was simply an adorable little lamb.
"That's right, I'll Illidan to anything as long as Thrall can be killed."
Durotan, who had remained silent until now, said grimly, "Illidan hates Thrall the most, followed by Prophet Velen."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Velen.
Velen was terrified; his face turned pale, and he said with a wry smile:
"I said, you promised you wouldn't hand me over to Illidan."
Chen Stormstout, smiled darkly, a smile that sent chills down Velen's spine.
The group reached a consensus, united their strength, and joined forces to deal with Thrall.
Chen Stormstout immediately dispatched a messenger to Light's Hope Chapel to forge an alliance with Illidan.
Khadgar spearheaded the construction of permanent Portals centered in Orgrimmar, spanning the Vale of Eternal Vale of Eternal Blossoms, Winterspring, and Gadgetzan in Pandaria.
No matter which side Thrall attacks, he can receive timely reinforcements.
Just a few days after the Thunder Bluff gathering, news of Thrall's return spread throughout Azeroth.
Thrall publicly recruited soldiers in Silithus, with Magni Bronzebeard, the Azeroth’s Spokesman, as his teammate, and Guardian Medivh, providing support.
Chen Stormstout was so anxious that he couldn't sleep well for several days. After the completion Heavenly Palace the luxurious palace in Orgrimmar, Chen Stormstout completely lost interest.
Stormwind City.
Robbie helped Vanessa deal with the recent news; the alliance at Thunder Bluff, though not publicly announced, had the most far-reaching impact.
Vanessa smoothed her hair from her forehead and said with concern:
"The Pandaren are terrified of Thrall. The Dragonkin have always been Thrall's accomplices. Although the Ogres and Orcs are at odds, they both come from Outland. Finally, there's Durotan of Winterspring, who is Orcs himself and has an inextricable relationship with Thrall."
"So you're worried about them?" Robbie pondered carefully. "Historically, loose alliances like these have never been reliable. They're prone to mutual suspicion and distrust, making them easy to divide, dismantle, and then defeat one by one."
Vanessa nodded. "If these people join forces, Thrall will definitely be no match for them. The only concern is that some people might secretly side with Thrall for their own benefit."
"Why not give them some reassurance?" Robbie thought of a good idea.
Vanessa's eyes sparkled, filled with anticipation.
"We can use the power of the media to push everyone to the opposite side of Thrall. If they ignore the media and side with Thrall, it will be tantamount to breaking their promise, which will greatly affect their reputation."
"Great idea!" Vanessa clapped her hands. "Although none of these guys are good people, they all care about their reputation; after all, they are heroes of Azeroth."
Silithus.
After Magatha Grimtotem joined Thrall, it had a positive effect, and many factions that were previously hesitant also came to Thrall.
In particular, the Hall of Fame Guild, the largest guild in Azeroth that spans both the Alliance and the Horde, publicly announced its Thrall, causing quite a stir.
Thrall had gathered more than five thousand men around him. Although Magni Bronzebeard had been expelled from Ironforge by Anvilmar, his influence remained, and he helped Thrall purchase military supplies.
However, what was unexpected was that even more explosive news followed.
The most authoritative media outlets in Azeroth collectively reported that Chen Stormstout publicly announced in Orgrimmar that he and Thrall had a blood feud involving the murder of his father, mother, wife, children, and entire clan. They were irreconcilable enemies, and it was a fight to the death. Thrall had to pay for his crimes in blood.
Immediately afterwards, Pandaria's Taran Zhu announced that Thrall carried the blood debt of millions of Pandaren, and that Pandaren who sided with Thrall would be an enemy of all Pandaren.
Subsequently, Mar'gok, the Imperator of Gadgetzan, published a lengthy commentary in the media, claiming that Thrall was the culprit behind the destruction of Azeroth. He asserted that although the Ogres of Highmaul came from Draenor World, they were now part of Azeroth and had a responsibility to save Azeroth. Mar'gok even offered to cut off one of his heads in public if Thrall could not be killed.
In Winterspring, Durotan, not to be outdone, expelled Thrall in the name of the Frostwolf Clan chieftain, refusing to acknowledge Thrall as a member of the Orcs.
However, the most ruthless was the Prophet Velen, who publicly announced at the Temple of the White Tiger that the Draenei had wandered for over 25,000 years, witnessed countless civilizations, and that Thrall's Evil ranked first, making him the undisputed number one villain in the universe.
Heavenly Palace in Orgrimmar, Chen Stormstout read through the newspapers one by one, feeling a sense of disillusionment and questioning the meaning of life.
Alliances are inherently unreliable, and if things change, Chen Stormstout has considered siding with Thrall.
"Khadgar, you be the judge."
Chen Stormstout was practically in tears:
"Although I was eaten by Thrall, our hatred wasn't this deep. Who spread these rumors? I never said anything like that."
Khadgar said calmly, "Warchief, do you know that I can pledge allegiance to Thrall, but you cannot?"
Chen Stormstout was taken aback, then muttered, "It seems I must fight Thrall to the very end."
Pandaria, Taran Zhu was absolutely furious:
"This is outrageous! Who is it? Who is spouting nonsense? These media outlets are so irresponsible! When did I ever say that Thrall carries the blood debt of millions of Pandaren, even though it's true?"
Suddenly remembering something, Taran Zhu loudly gave the order:
"Get the messenger back quickly, lest he become Thrall's food. Damn it, only a fool would bet alone. What should I do?"
A stack of newspapers lay before Imperator Mar'gok, and he began to read them one by one.
The Draenor World was relatively underdeveloped, and newspapers didn't exist, so it was a novelty for him.
Mar'gok seemed thoughtful:
"So this is the power of the media; they don't even tell the truth. No wonder some people are willing to believe Thrall's lies."
In Winterspring, Durotan slammed his fist on the table:
"This is driving me to the brink. Who did this? Who bribed these damned opportunists?"
Upon seeing the media reports at the Temple of the White Tiger, the Prophet Velen's eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
How could Velen, so intelligent, possibly believe in the alliance at Thunder Bluff?
Although he was at the Temple of the White Tiger, he immediately pledged allegiance to Thrall through secret channels and awaited Thrall's reply.
Now everything is over.
Facing widespread condemnation, Thrall made a bold declaration in Silithus:
"Those who oppose me will destroy Azeroth. I am Azeroth, and Azeroth is me."
Light's Hope Chapel, Illidan responded swiftly:
"If Azeroth is Thrall, I will destroy Azeroth."
