Worried and unable to make a decision, Vol'jin turned to his most trusted confidant Vol'jin hastily asked:
"Dugar, my old friend, the Orcs are in a precarious situation now. What are your thoughts on this?"
A cunning glint flashed across Dugar's face as he spoke in a shrill voice:
"In this war, the Orcs played no role whatsoever; it was only through the mediation of the Guardian Aegwynn, who brought in the Bronze Dragonflight and Neptulon for help. Thrall's Orcs performed poorly, and once they lose the Guardian's trust, we will inevitably be implicated and sink into the Abyss together."
Vol'jin disagreed, shaking his head and saying:
"No, the Orcs were unable to unleash their full potential in this war, especially the Kul Tiras 'Tidal Curse, whose power exceeded expectations. The Orcs' poor performance was to be expected."
Dugar nodded. "The logic is sound, but who knows what Aegwynn will think? I think that's what Thrall is worried about too. Nozdormu and Neptulon saved the Orcs; they won't help for nothing. If the two of them are interested in vying for the leadership of the Horde, one being Dragon Aspects and the other Elemental Lords, Thrall, the Savior, has no hope of winning."
"This!"
Vol'jin inwardly gasped. Nozdormu and Neptulon —their ambitions were unpredictable, but he had to be wary. After all, the title of Savior was far too prestigious; who wouldn't want glory and lasting fame? Why would they let an Orcs gain such an advantage?
"Dugar, what suggestions do you have?" Vol'jin asked.
The attendees were all Vol'jin's confidants, Dugar, without any reservations, spoke frankly:
"I have two suggestions. One is to gamble on who will win Neptulon and Nozdormu. Nozdormu has been too exhausted to save Orgrimmar, and I guess Neptulon might be the new leader. We might as well abandon Thrall, immediately join Neptulon, and then crush Thrall so that he can never rise again, or simply kill him and enslave his soul."
Vol'jin felt no guilt about betraying Thrall; his only concern was whether Neptulon intended to seize power, a move he deemed too risky and thus difficult to decide.
"Good, what's your second suggestion?" Vol'jin hesitated for a moment before asking.
"My second suggestion is to help Thrall secretly control Nozdormu and Neptulon, making them slaves of the Orcs to share the burden of the Savior. Although this is difficult, I have thought about it carefully and it is not without hope."
Vol'jin's eyes lit up; this strategy resonated with him. After pondering it carefully for a long time, Vol'jin finally decided to side with Thrall.
"Dugar, my best friend, do you have any way to control Nozdormu and Neptulon?" Vol'jin asked eagerly.
Vol'jin's choice was entirely within Dugar's expectations. The Goblin grinned sinisterly, "I've heard that the Ogre Gorian Empire once controlled the Throne of the Elements, and now the Stonemaul Ogres of Brackenwall Village are our allies. Perhaps Lord Mogmorlok knows something."
The Throne of the Elements is located in Nagrand, Draenor, a place where the elements of Draenor World converge. Shaman can communicate with powerful Elemental Power. The Gorian Empire successfully enslaved the Throne of the Elements, suggesting that the Ogres have special methods for dealing with Elemental.
Vol'jin immediately understood and laughed, "That's right, that's right. As long as Neptulon is enslaved, we can use Neptulon to Pain Suppression Nozdormu. Thrall will still be the great Savior, and I can maintain my position. Thrall will also trust me more. But what if it displeases Lord Aegwynn?"
Dugar chuckled and said:
"Today Neptulon only focused on preserving his strength and did not attack the Kul Tiras navy, which displeased Lord Aegwynn. If Thrall had controlled Neptulon, Lord Aegwynn would only have reprimanded him and would have been overjoyed. Even the vile Dragonmaw Clans once controlled the Red Dragon Queen and were not punished afterward, let alone the great Savior Thrall."
Dugar's eloquent speech dispelled Vol'jin's concerns. Vol'jin beamed with joy, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Dugar, my good friend, we've overcome this crisis entirely thanks to you. I'll immediately speak to Thrall on your behalf."
Dugar understood Thrall's thoughts perfectly; Vol'jin's suggestion gave Thrall a glimmer of hope in his despair, and Thrall was so happy he almost jumped for joy.
"That's right, the Ogres of Brackenwall Village are already our allies. Rexxar, Rok'ton, you two immediately send a thousand Tauren —no, two thousand Tauren, plus five hundred Orcs beauties—to King Mogmorlok. If they can help, a greater reward awaits."
Brackenwall Village.
King Mogmorlok recently had some good news: someone had asked him through connections to help appraise an artifact from the Gorian Empire.
This is an ancient stone slab, inscribed with the exclusive script of the Gorian Empire's court. With the help of a learned Ogre Priest, the meaning of the text has been successfully translated.
The stone tablet records a dark magic spell, which, according to the annotations on the tablet, can be used to enslave high-level Elemental. It is a mysterious magic that has long been lost.
The cunning King Mogmorlok claimed that the contents contained court secrets, and the other party generously offered a thousand gold coins as an authentication fee.
A thousand gold coins were nothing; the fact that he had gained a powerful dark magic spell for free made King Mogmorlok very happy. He knew that at its peak, the Gorian Empire had enslaved the Throne of the Elements, and at that time, the elementals of Draenor World were servants of the Ogre Empire emperor.
Dark magic is obscure and difficult to understand. Although the explanation states that it enslaves high-ranking Elemental, its true effects are hard to know without experimentation. Unfortunately, the Ogre Empire is in decline, and the Ogre forces in Azeroth are insufficient to dare to experiment on high-ranking Elemental.
Good news kept coming. The Rexxar brothers led two thousand Tauren and five hundred Orcs beauties to Brackenwall Village. King Mogmorlok's eyes practically popped out when he saw the strong Tauren and the slender Orcs beauties.
Two thousand Tauren, double the number agreed upon initially, meant that Brackenwall Village's five-year food ration problem was solved.
There were also five hundred beautiful Orcs women. It should be noted that female Ogres are extremely rare, as Ogres rely on female creatures from other races for reproduction, with female Orcs being the best choice. This solved the marriage problem for my subordinates.
Rexxar, his face full of obsequiousness, said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the Savior Thrall said that this is only the first batch of gifts. More generous gifts are to come. I only need Your Majesty to do me a small favor."
High Overlord Mogmorlok, who was commanding his men to slaughter the Tauren, immediately frowned upon hearing that help was needed and sternly refused. "Help? Impossible. I've heard that Orgrimmar is at war with the Kul Tiras, and Brackenwall Village will not send a single soldier."
Rexxar shook his head. "Your Majesty, you misunderstand. The Savior Thrall has heard that Your Majesty Mastery the dark magic of the Gorian Empire and is the foremost Archmage among the Ogres. He inquires whether there is any dark magic capable of enslaving high-ranking Elemental. If you can help, Thrall will send Your Majesty two thousand Pandaren. You know, Tauren and Pandaren taste even better when cooked together."
These were clearly compliments, which pleased King Mogmorlok greatly, but he soon realized that this was a pre-planned conspiracy; otherwise, such a coincidence would not have been possible.
"Forget about any conspiracy, getting the benefits is the most important thing." King Mogmorlok pretended to shout, "No, there's no such black magic."
Rexxar's exaggerated performance alerted him to something amiss, realizing that King Mogmorlok was hiding something, and he raised his stakes again. "Thrall said that if the King is willing to help, he is willing to give the King another peerless Orcs beauty."
