"Humans, your arrival has shattered the peace of this forest, bringing slaughter and disaster to Ashenvale. Cenarius will not forgive you!" The Keeper of the Grove showed no fear; these creatures essentially knew no fear. Their faith was in nature, and for them, death meant returning to nature, perhaps even directly to the Emerald Dream, continuing their lives in another form.
The Keeper of the Grove was a towering figure, somewhat resembling Centaur Centaur, but in reality possessed greater strength and spellcasting abilities that Centaur lacked. Jiang Jie did not move the divine sword; he did not want to take any risks.
There were other Keeper of the Grove, Dryad, or Night Elf around him, and he felt that he was being watched by at least ten eyes, ready to attack him at any moment.
"Very well, it seems that at least in your eyes, Cenarius still alive. That's right, you can talk to the trees, you can even hear messages in the wind; nothing in this forest escapes your notice. Now, tell me where Cenarius is. He's in mortal danger; a group of Orcs is trying to kill him!"
Before the Keeper of the Grove could speak, Jiang Jie sneered, "You mean Cenarius is the Lord of the Forest, and those Orcs can't withstand his wrath? Sorry, but the Orcs of today are not the same as the Orcs you see! They drank from the lake polluted with Demon Blood, gained demonic power, and now possess the ability to kill Cenarius! If you're smart, lead us to Cenarius, and while you're at it, gather your people... if you don't want Cenarius to die!"
The Keeper of the Grove looked at Jiang Jie and calmly said, "I want to hear the sound of the wind and the whispers of the trees."
"Go ahead. But you'd better hurry up, I'm not sure Cenarius can outlast the time you're wasting!" Jiang Jie sneered.
The Keeper of the Grove listened for a full five minutes before his expression finally changed drastically. He then looked at Jiang Jie and said, " Cenarius is under siege! The Orcs have been corrupted by Demon Blood; they possess weapons capable of harming Cenarius. Cenarius is wounded! He only managed to gather a small group of men! Most of the Keeper of the Grove and the Dryad have heard the call and are on their way!"
The Keeper of the Grove waved his hand, and several of his companions, hidden in the dense forest, began to scatter and run in a certain direction.
"Follow me! Cenarius somewhere between Ashenvale and the Barrens. He needs our help, and he needs yours too! Humans, help us fight the Orcs, and you will gain the friendship of the entire forest!"
The Keeper of the Grove has four legs and is very fast.
Jiang Jie followed closely.
He had no intention of helping Cenarius or Grom against the other side; he had his own plans. But all his plans depended on his ability to arrive in time. If Grom had already killed Cenarius, then none of his plans would matter!
"We can't rush like this!" Jiang Jie leaped onto the dragon and shouted, "All of you, follow the Keeper of the Grove! Remember, killing enemies is secondary, survival is primary! Don't rush into the battlefield; listen to my orders once we arrive!"
Then, he made Anveena and the four little Elemental Spirits fly up and, together with him, headed ahead to the battlefield in the direction indicated by the Keeper of the Grove.
"Wait for me! Master, you can't leave me behind! I... I can kick the Orcs's ass for you!" Li Li hugged the crane's neck and flew into the sky.
Jiang Jie ignored her.
The little girl is clever and mischievous; although she's young, very few people can bully her. With the crane around, as long as she stays high in the sky, no one can hurt her.
The Onyx Cloud Serpent was very fast. In less than twenty minutes, Jiang Jie arrived at a forest near the Barrens in Ashenvale, where he witnessed a bloody battle scene!
More than a thousand Orcs are fighting against a few Keeper of the Grove, a few Dryad, and a few Night Elf sentinels. Cenarius has activated the trees and summoned a dozen or so Treant, but he still cannot reverse the defeat!
The Keeper of the Grove's nature magic is quite good; the Dryad also possesses similar abilities.
Orcs already possessed higher spell resistance than humans, and now, having drunk Demon Blood, their spell resistance was even stronger. Their nature spells couldn't truly harm Orcs, while Orcs battleaxes and swords were enough to inflict fatal damage! Night Elf sentinels were extremely fast and agile. In guerrilla warfare, Orcs would be no match for them in a one-on-one fight. But now, to protect Cenarius, they had to step forward and confront them head-on. Coupled with their already numerical disadvantage, they had already suffered more than ten casualties. The ground was littered with corpses, both theirs and Orcs's.
The Treant summoned by Cenarius are quite powerful.
This is not a game. The trees that Cenarius brought to life, although they have become mobile Treant, have not changed much in size. Some are several meters tall, and some are even more than ten meters tall. They are more like the Ent in Fangorn Forest in " The Lord of the Rings " who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years.
However, they move too slowly, and their branches swing too slowly, making it difficult for them to effectively attack the Orcs, while the Orcs ' battle axes can cut through their branches and bodies.
Several or even ten Orcs besieged a Treant, and the Treant couldn't withstand it. Five Treant had already fallen, leaving behind a mess of broken branches and trunks.
The most brutal battlefield was in the very center.
More than a hundred of the most powerful Orcs, including several Troll Witch Doctor and a dozen Troll Headhunter, are besieging Cenarius.
Vines sprouted from the depths of the earth, binding the Orcs or piercing their bodies. Dense sparks rained down from the sky, accurately striking one Orcs after another, venting the rage of the forest Demigod.
Some Orcs swung their battleaxes at Cenarius, Cenarius had no weapon. His hands transformed into sharp claws made of tree roots, capable of even directly confronting the Iron Battleaxe—that was his weapon!
Cenarius's greatest strength lies in his spellcasting abilities, but his close-combat skills are equally formidable, far surpassing those of ordinary Orcs.
His body was wrapped in thorns, which were covered with hard thorns. Orcs often died tragically when these thorns pierced their bodies during close combat!
These thorns also protect Cenarius's safety. Even the battle axes thrown by a few Orcs are hard to really hurt him. Although some may cause him injury or even bleeding, the wounds heal quickly. Cenarius is the Lord of the Forest and the mentor of all Druid. He is good at using the power of nature to heal himself, and no one can compare to him in this respect.
However, Cenarius was still injured when Grom charged at him wielding his battle axe.
A man who was noticeably larger and fiercer than the other Orcs joined the battle.
Grom, the Orc Blademaster!
Only the most powerful Orcs Warrior are qualified to be called "Sword Saints," Grom Grommash Hellscream was one of them.
Long before the Dark Portal opened, he led the way by drinking the Blood of Mannoroth, a gift from Kil'jaeden, which corrupted most of the Orcs and gave them even greater power. His strength increased once again, and he truly became a Legendary swordsman.
Gorehowl granted him even greater power.
A few days ago, he drank the Blood of Mannoroth for the second time, which gave him even greater power than before. Now, he is no longer an ordinary Legendary, but Legendary among Legendary, a powerful being qualified to challenge the authority of Demigod!
Perhaps on the original Draenor, Grom wasn't the most powerful being among the entire Orcs race. Not to mention Ner'zhul and Gul'dan, who were spellcasters, even among the Orcs Warrior, Blackhand the Devastation was more powerful than him.
But that was before.
The current Grom is definitely more powerful than the Devastation was back then. He is the most powerful Warrior in the Orcs Horde today, even more powerful than Thrall!
