From Zul'Aman to Kalimdor, Zul'ra made arrangements for his assistants. Aside from Haimuxi and Malacrass, who had accompanied him to Kalimdor, he entrusted the affairs of the Eastern Kingdoms entirely to Broken-Tooth, with Lostro, Cook, Maki, Mordu, and others assisting him.

Currently, on the Kalimdor, aside from the fleet's manpower, there are still over 1,700 adult soldiers that Zul'ra previously entrusted to Thrall. Thanks to Thrall's skillful command during the Third War, which was launched by the Burning Legion, they are currently in Orgrimmar.

This time, Zul'ra personally crossed the sea and brought with him five thousand Amani'lai. They were not soldiers, though they could certainly fill that role if necessary, but most of them were artisans and farmers, as were the other five thousand Orcs who came with him.

Zul'ra left Malacrass and Haimuxi in Bladefist Bay to lead the newly disembarked Amani'lai and help Gor maintain order there, while he took Naisha and the others to Orgrimmar. After he and Thrall had discussed the situation, they would choose a place to settle down.

As it grew late, Sanra rested for the night. The next day, he set off with twenty soldiers and eight others, including Nasa, led by Karu, an orc warrior assigned by Gor, to Orgrimmar, where construction had just begun a month earlier.

Although the valley where Orgrimmar is located looks like it's not far from Fistblade Sea, when Zul'ra actually set off, he walked for half a day without seeing it. However, he didn't feel bored because all he could see before him were Firewind Canyon and plains, with herds of wild sheep and deer often passing by. The scenery was exceptionally beautiful.

Sanra followed the warrior Karu who was leading the way and talked about Orgrimmar. Karu introduced it with a proud tone, saying that Orgrimmar was built in a valley on the northern coast of Kalimdor. There were hot winds and fertile soil, and the nearby sea provided ample rainfall. There were also rich minerals beneath the earth, so the Warchief chose it as the new home of the orcs.

Apart from Orgrimmar, Thrall encompassed a vast and fertile territory east of the Southfury River flowing down from Mount Hyjal, extending southward from the mountains where Orgrimmar is located. He named this land Durotar in honor of his father, Durotan, chieftain of the Frostwolf Clan.

As the sun began to set, Zul'ra followed Kalu was leading the way, around a canyon. Suddenly, a bright light appeared before them. In the hazy distance, towering mountain walls and canyon walls stood before them, and a thick stone wall rose up in the canyon. On either side of the stone wall were houses and tents of varying sizes, and countless figures were coming and going in front of the stone wall.

"This is Orgrimmar." Zul'ra couldn't help but gleam in her eyes. It was magnificent, so magnificent.

"Yes." The warrior leading the way, Karu, looked at the Orgrimmar city wall under construction in front of him, sniffed and smiled, and lightly tapped his chest with his fist.

Without further ado, Zul'ra quickened his pace. When he arrived, he saw figures coming and going in front of the high walls, including short green- Goblins Tauren, tall and strong tauren, and of course, Trolls. However, Zul'ra could recognize at a glance that they were not Amani'lai, but rather the Darkspear. They were hunched over. As for Amani'lai, those standing on the city wall with the Orcs were probably him; they were incredibly tall and imposing.

Zul'ra looked at Orgrimmar, which was not yet fully completed but already showed its magnificence, and felt somewhat overwhelmed. He looked at the Amani'lai guards on duty and the tauren leading Kodo Tauren. To be honest, these guys looked a bit scary because they looked like some kind of four-legged pasture animal standing upright.

"Zul'ra Jin, Zul'ra Jin is here!" Just as Zul'ra was observing the situation, a loud shout suddenly rang out. Zul'ra looked over and saw a woman Amani'lai pointing her middle finger at him, speaking in a slightly surprised tone.

Zul'ra was slightly relieved to be recognized in the crowd, because the voice that called out to him was full of joy, not resentment. After all, it was he who had ordered these Amani'lai to leave their homeland and follow Thrall across the ocean to this place.

A riot broke out in the city of Orgrimmar. The Amani'lai recognized Zul'ra and rushed over to greet him, their expressions filled with surprise and excitement. Some of the Amani'lai asked about Zul'Aman, and Zul'ra smiled and answered them one by one that the Amani were well, then lightly tapped their chests with his fist.

Although she knew that the Amani'lai were not entirely surprised by her arrival, but rather by news from their homeland, that was enough for Zul'ra. She was extremely grateful and bowed to them.

Passersby stopped in surprise as they watched the crowd of Amani'lai surge forward. From the voices they heard, they could tell that it was an important person, but they didn't know who it was.

Zul'ra stood in the crowd, looking at the increasingly crowded surroundings, and couldn't help but raise her hand to lead them aside, avoiding the main passage of Orgrimmar, and loudly expressed her praise from a high place nearby.

"Orc, Amani'lai, you conquered the raging sea with your courage, found a new home here, and, together with other great races, saved this world. This required unparalleled courage and perseverance, but for the Horde, this is only the beginning."

Zul'ra stood on a rock, making his already tall and prominent figure even more striking, and attracted the Amani'lai, Orcs, Tauren, and even Goblins with his loud shouts, showing them his respect and conveying his encouragement.

"This is just the beginning. Our world is still under threat. Malice comes not only from the Burning Legion, but also from those who despise and oppose us..." As Zul'ra spoke, the gathered Amani'lai and Orcs fell silent. They understood perfectly who Zul'ra was referring to.

"But we will show them that we are not only courage and perseverance, but also wisdom and diligence. Here, we will build our home with our own hands and make those who oppose us and despise us tremble in our presence!" Zul'ra looked at the sea of people in front of him and shouted with a wave of his arm.

"For the Horde, Awooo!" an Orcs roared, instantly igniting a conflagration in the crowd. Amidst the shouts of "For the Horde!", Zul'ra jumped down from the rock she was standing on, then looked at the Orcs in black plate armor walking towards her, smiled, bent down, and hugged him.

"Brilliant, brilliant speech, but Zul'ra, here, there is no one who opposes or despises us." Thrall said with a smile as he embraced the tall Trolls, sensing that Zul'ra's speech had a hidden meaning.

"No, my friend, opposition and contempt have always existed, you just haven't seen them, and we will respond to them with diligence and courage." Zul'ra looked at Thrall, who had somewhat misunderstood her, and couldn't help but laugh. After several months apart, the Warchief had grown short black stubble on his chin.

"Yes, that's right, they'll tremble before us because of it." Thrall listened to Zul'ra's explanation and instantly realized he had misunderstood. He burst into laughter and felt relieved. Having been through so much, he didn't want to stir up old grudges.
