Although the fifteen Red Dragons, led by Lekles, Hamstring and mangled, they could still be saved. Red Dragons are Guardians of life, and their vitality is extremely tenacious.
Upon hearing this, Garrosh's lips curled up slightly. "Rhonin, this is truly excellent news. After all, we Orcs don't like to eat dead prey."
"Eat it?"
Rhonin looked at Garrosh with a puzzled expression. Although Garrosh's troops had wiped out many Dalaran Mages, Rhonin was not surprised.
After all, the once vast Dalaran Kingdom was devoured by the Orcs, and Silvermoon City was also largely consumed by Orcs. Dalaran's main inhabitants were humans and High Elves, and they were already used to the Orcs eating people.
But Garrosh was going to eat fifteen Red Dragons. Rhonin originally thought that Garrosh was different from Thrall, after all, Garrosh was a native of Outland and had not been Corruption by Fel.
"No, General, the Red Dragonflight is an important ally of ours," Rhonin hurriedly explained.
"Without the help of the Red Dragonflight, we cannot conquer the Nexus, especially with the Blue Dragonflight using the Ley Line. We are destined to lose this war."
Garrosh laughed heartily, looking at Rhonin with disdain:
"Archmage, you simply don't understand the weaknesses of human nature. Don't think that kindness and friendliness can win support. Our countless victories Orcs have taught us that only the most ruthless, cruel, and inhumane methods, slaughtering all living beings, can win the support of the masses. If we release these fifteen Red Dragons, we will surely be despised and looked down upon by the Red Dragon Queen, thus losing the support of the Red Dragonflight."
Garrosh gazed longingly at the fifteen Red Dragons:
"The reason Thrall has always wanted to devour Krasus is to maintain his oppression of the Red Dragonflight. I absolutely cannot appear weaker than Thrall; on the contrary, I must be even more terrifying than him, so that the Red Dragonflight tremble at the mere mention of my name, only then can I take his place."
Garrosh waved his hand, and a large group of Orcs surged forward, awaiting orders.
"Eat these fifteen Red Dragons, save the best meat for me, and then give the dragon heads to the Red Dragon Queen. I want her to understand that the Orcs are the Saviors of Azeroth and have the right to eat any Dragonkin."
Fifteen Red Dragons were brutally skinned, their heads severed and set aside. Garrosh gave special treatment to Lekles, the queen's favorite.
The Orcs raised their Battle Axes; mountains of Red Dragon meat were neatly arranged and categorized, and the strong smell of dragon blood permeated the entire Dalaran.
Rhonin looked helpless, his heart churning with emotion. He began to understand that the cruelty of the Orcs was not limited to Thrall, nor was it due to the influence of Fel, but rather it was simply the nature of the Orcs.
Why is Elune, so fixated on Orcs?
Rhonin smiled bitterly as he looked up at the sky. At his level, he had begun to learn about some behind-the-scenes secrets, but the more he knew, the more doubts he had.
Krasus rushed back to the Wyrmrest Temple alone, not daring to hide anything, and told everything in detail. The Red Dragon Queen was shocked to hear that the Blue Dragonflight had used the Focusing Iris.
"Malygos has gone mad; they're plotting to destroy Azeroth."
The Red Dragon Queen was furious and wanted to rush to the Nexus immediately to demand an explanation from Malygos.
However, looking around, the once-prosperous Red Dragonflight was far from what it used to be, the Blue Dragonflight was weak and feeble, and the Red Dragonflight, which had suffered heavy losses Battle of Mount Hyjal, was barely clinging to life. The Red Dragon Queen suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
The Red Dragonflight Blue Dragonflight Clan.
However, if the enemy disregards the cost and uses the Ley Line and Focusing Iris, the Red Dragonflight will inevitably suffer some losses, which is something the Red Dragon Queen does not want to see.
The Red Dragon Queen's anger gradually subsided. She closed her eyes, thought for a moment, and finally reason prevailed.
"Now that Lekles and the others have been teleported to Dalaran, Rhonin will definitely escort them back to the Wyrmrest Temple. I will personally heal their wounds, and once they have recovered, we will seek justice from the Blue Dragonflight Clan. The war with the Blue Dragonflight will be put on hold for now."
This is tantamount to downplaying a major issue. Krasus, his face conflicted, finally couldn't help but say:
"But Garrosh is in Dalaran, and the Orcs effectively control Dalaran."
A fleeting look of worry crossed the Red Dragon Queen's face, but she quickly smiled and said:
"It's alright. Even the cruel Thrall wouldn't kill fifteen Red Dragons at once. Aren't the Orcs afraid of the Red Dragonflight's wrath?"
Before the Red Dragon Queen could finish speaking, a group of Dalaran Mages slowly flew over, laboriously dragging a huge package while casting spells. Although the package was covered by magic and its contents could not be seen, the Red Dragon Queen and Krasus couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.
An Archmage landed before the Red Dragon Queen, head bowed, avoiding her gaze, and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, this was forced upon us by General Garrosh. It has nothing to do with Dalaran. Dalaran on good terms with the Dragonkin and would never dare to offend them."
The Red Dragon Queen had already realized something. She swung her dragon claw forward and grabbed at the Void, shattering the magical envelope and releasing fifteen enormous dragon heads.
My beloved Lekles was among them. This powerful Red Dragon must have suffered terrible torment before his death, his face contorted and his mind broken, as if he had witnessed the most horrible thing.
The Red Dragon Queen remained remarkably calm, saying with an air of nonchalance:
"Lekles has long said that being eaten by Orcs is a great honor, and now he has finally achieved his wish. This is an honor for Lekles and the entire Red Dragonflight. You may leave now."
The Dalaran Mages hurriedly fled, relieved that they hadn't died in the Red Dragon Queen's rage. After the mages disappeared, Krasus immediately cast a Magic Shield, enveloping the area where the Red Dragon Queen had been. The Queen's heart-wrenching screams echoed within the shield.
After a long while, the heartbroken Red Dragon Queen lay on the ground, weakly saying, "Krasus, among your people you are the most resourceful. What do you think of this matter?"
Krasus felt deeply saddened by the deaths of his people and sighed in grief:
"Queen, I know you are very sad, but the Orcs are colluding with the Burning Legion and are protected by Elune. It is really not wise to be their enemy. Garrosh killed our people to urge us to act quickly, otherwise he will never stop."
The Red Dragon Queen sighed softly, "Indeed, resistance only leads to destruction, while submission allows for survival. We cannot emulate the foolish Malygos. Perhaps we have driven him too far, which is why he is so reckless, but such Recklessness is unacceptable."
"Queen, have you made your decision?" Krasus asked.
The Red Dragon Queen raised her head, gradually gathering her strength, and loudly proclaimed:
"Yes, I have made my decision. Since Garrosh desires the Nexus and the Blue Dragonflight, we will grant his wish at any cost. I will wage a full-scale war, uniting all the forces of Azeroth to completely wipe the Blue Dragonflight from Azeroth. Malygos, your end has come."
Krasus knew the Red Dragon Queen; if he had known this would happen, he would suddenly ask:
"Your Majesty, if Arygos had used the Focusing Iris to kill our people directly, instead of sending them to Dalaran, would your decision have changed?"
The Red Dragon Queen stood there stunned for a long time before finally nodding almost imperceptibly.
