Sylvanas turned to look at Tirion Fordring, pointed to the grave in front of her, and asked:
"You want me to resurrect them and turn them into the Forsaken?"
Tirion Fordring nodded and said:
"I hope you will preserve their free will. They are all loyal to me and would never betray me. I promise that any information obtained can be shared with the Forsaken."
"Well, it's just a small favor, there seems to be no reason to refuse." Sylvanas flashed what she considered a seductive yet terrifying smile. "It's just that I have my doubts about your reputation; the Restless Souls of Uther the Lightbringer still roams the Plaguelands."
"The Alliance will not believe a dead man, even if he was the renowned Uther in life." To dissuade the Queen, Tirion Fordring quickly added:
"Moreover, I have a plan. Once I obtain Ashbringer, those ignorant adventurers will swarm to me like flies to blood, completely at my beck and call."
Mograine, the first Ashbringer, has become one of the Four Horsemen, but his Ashbringer is incomplete, having lost the vital source of the Holy Light, the Rizebu Crystal.
Now that the crystal is in Tirion Fordring's hands, Tirion Fordring only needs to obtain that sword to possess the complete Ashbringer.
Sylvanas pondered for a moment, then said, "Very well, I'm willing to help you resurrect them."
Tirion Fordring thanked him profusely and then presented another letter, "Your Highness Dark Lady, I hope you can pass this letter on to the Savior Thrall. Of course, there is nothing in the letter that is kept secret from you."
Sylvanas opened the letter addressed to Thrall without hesitation, read it carefully, and a rare smile of appreciation appeared on her face:
"Tirion Fordring, you are indeed cunning and ruthless. I have high hopes for you. Yes, Thrall needs the flesh and blood of the Alliance, and I need enough corpses. This letter will surely move Thrall."
Sylvanas resurrected Tirion Fordring's children, and the Forsaken had already sent them food and drink.
After days of hunger, Tirion Fordring devoured the meat and wine until he was completely full. Satisfied, he let out a satisfied burp, a slight blush appearing on his face. He raised his wine cup, faced the row of Undead soldiers, and said in a strong voice:
"When I first received the Holy Light's favor, the Naaru said to me: 'If I succeed, the earth will be littered with bones.' But I disagree! I believe that adventurers should decide their own life and death. Cheers, Scourge soldiers, may you have a smooth journey in the Scourge."
Sylvanas watched Tirion Fordring's performance with a cold eye. The Blightcaller asked unwillingly, "Can Tirion Fordring succeed?"
Humans often unknowingly or intentionally consumed Plague -infected grains, turning into Undead who then fled to Northrend to join Arthas. Many of them were given important positions.
Sylvanas sent many spies to infiltrate the Scourge, but without exception, they were all found and executed. To this day, no one knows how Arthas managed to do it.
Sylvanas frowned. "Who knows? What's the harm in trying? Perhaps these guys who believed in the Holy Light in life can gain the Scourge's trust."
On the grave, a strange light flashed from a small purple flower. This herb is called Arthas' Tears, and it can be found everywhere in the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
Orgrimmar.
Thrall sat in the chieftain's seat with a worried expression, next to Vol'jin, who also had a gloomy face. Saurfang the Great was with his son Dranosh, and Kalimdor's richest Doras Kalimdor, was with Garrosh. The four of them were chatting and laughing, completely disregarding the Savior Thrall.
As fate would have it, within just a few years, power in Orgrimmar was redistributed.
Thrall's biggest mistake was launching the conquest of Outland. Although he managed to conquer the Black Temple with the help of Akama, an inside agent, he gained nothing but wasted resources and manpower, only capturing a group of beautiful Blood Elves.
In this war, Thrall, eager to become the King of Outland, was too aggressive, resulting in the deaths of a large number of Orcs soldiers. Even worse, the Orcs had run out of food.
Because of Ner'zhul's mistake, Outland suffered devastation from a magical storm, losing its vast oceans and becoming arid and barren. The Orcs army struggled to find enough food, and after conquering the Black Temple while starving, they returned to Orgrimmar still hungry.
Orgrimmar became a city of famine, the main food source for the Orcs. The Tauren, due to excessive hunting, could no longer sustain Orgrimmar's operation.
The Pandaren of Pandaria are also nearly wiped out; the remaining ones have allied themselves with the Mantid and the Mogu. Even with the new Chen Stormstout's vigorous promotion of the Savior's great achievements, few Pandaren are willing to be fooled.
The Zandalari Empire, which has existed for millennia, has seen its inhabitants almost entirely transformed into inedible Blood Trolls. Thrall once sent troops to Kul Tiras, landing in Drustvar. Lord Waycrest, knowing he could not defeat the Orcs, used ancient magic to turn the people into witches without flesh and blood.
A great famine struck Orgrimmar, Thrall's rule was on the verge of collapse. At the most critical moment, Saurfang the Great provided a large amount of military rations, regaining the support of the Orcs.
It turns out that just the year before, Doras collaborated with Saurfang, claiming that the insectoid race in Silithus was about to break the seal and that the Old Gods C'Thun wanted to destroy Azeroth.
In order to defeat the Zerg, Saurfang the Great used his prestige to call on the Alliance and the Horde to donate money and supplies. With the encouragement of Doras and the cooperation of the Peace Dove, he amassed a huge Wealth. Afterwards, Saurfang led fewer than fifty adventurers to Silithus for a stroll, claiming that he had killed the Old Gods C'Thun and accomplished a feat that even the Titans could not do.
In an instant, Saurfang the Great became famous throughout Azeroth, enjoying unparalleled fame. It was said that he was more powerful than all the Titans in the Pantheon combined, and that the mere Titans were no match for a single finger of Saurfang. Saurfang only needed to glance at him to drive the Void Lords mad, and he gained immense glory.
At a critical moment when Orgrimmar was in crisis, it was this batch of supplies that saved the Orcs. Of course, the provision of this supply was not without conditions. Saurfang and his son, Garrosh, and others divided Thrall's rights among themselves, and Thrall had no choice but to accept it.
Thrall knew very well that the only way to escape his current predicament was to wage war.
Unfortunately, waging war requires military supplies, and now those supplies are in the hands of Doras and Saurfang, leaving Thrall feeling utterly desperate.
Tirion Fordring's letter reached Thrall, giving Thrall hope.
Tirion Fordring's plan was to build a large Arena under the guise of selecting outstanding adventurers to attack the Frozen Throne, attract adventurers from both the Alliance and the Horde, skin Eviscerate the fallen to serve as food for the Orcs, and send their remains to the Forsaken expand their Legion.
Thrall was overjoyed upon seeing this. He now had a reason to attack the Lich King Arthas and could also gather enough military supplies. It was a win-win situation. Thrall pondered for a while and realized that the biggest obstacle would definitely come from the Alliance, specifically from Duke Bolvar, who ruled the Kingdom of Stormwind.
Thrall, without making a sound, secretly found Eitrigg:
"Eitrigg, how are the kids in the Arena doing?"
Eitrigg hurriedly replied, "Great Savior Thrall, under our constant supervision and training, he has become a fine Warrior."
"Very well, let him return to Stormwind City and inform Jaina to have the Peace Dove fully cooperate. We must also secretly work to drive away Bolvar, this thorn in our side. I can already see that the Alliance will become the Orcs' food supply." Thrall said with a ferocious expression.
