American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

"What's that for?"

Having learned of Grommash's entire plan, Galadar's gaze suddenly noticed the cylindrical pillars planted around the camp, emanating a calming and tranquilizing power.

The pillars were covered with fine lines and crude statues.

"Those are priest totems."

Grommash saw the direction Galadar was pointing and smiled, saying, "They were created using techniques taught by the High Priestess.

They can connect with people's spirits, allowing talented orcs to sense the power of the elements more quickly and easily.

Simply put, they can make the number of shamans in the orc clans less scarce."

"Really?"

Galadar looked at the totem poles in shock, his eyes filled with envy.

You see, the shaman is like a pillar of support for a clan, a soul figure.

He can guide the future of the clan and help the clan avoid great dangers.

Even in times of war, he can summon the elements and use them to make area-of-effect attacks, reducing casualties or bringing victory to his clan!

Shamans are not necessarily only found in large clans, but with a shaman, they can quickly expand and grow into a large clan.

"Do you want it?"

Grommash asked very bluntly.

"Of course."

Galadar didn't hide his thoughts, as most orcs are.

"The High Priestess is not stingy in bestowing us with power.

You can bring the talented orcs in your clan over here, and if they can awaken and master the power of the elements, the shamans here will do their best to teach them.

I guarantee you that.

Even if you can perform meritorious service for the High Priestess in the future, she can also create a totem power exclusively for your clan."

Grommash said with a smile.

A touch of interest appeared on Galadar's face.

For him, nothing could increase the clan's power and make the clan stronger more than this.

The history of the orcs has always been permeated with the word 'power'.

Orcs without power will be eliminated by nature.

Clans without power will be destroyed by beasts or slaughtered by other clans.

From childhood to adulthood, what orcs want most is power, and what they fear most is also power.

"Come with me."

Seeing Galadar's interest, Grommash motioned for him to follow.

Under Grommash's lead, they arrived at the Warsong Clan's encampment.

As soon as he stepped into the Warsong Clan's camp, Galadar suddenly felt an intense courage and vigorous power surging through his body.

He seemed to hear the thumping of war drums in his ears, and a surge of battle intent made him clench his fists involuntarily.

If this wasn't the Warsong Clan's camp, he would have even thought he had arrived at the battlefield about to begin!

Without any atmosphere to set it off, his fighting spirit rose inexplicably.

"The Warsong Clan was the first clan to pledge allegiance to the High Priestess, so they also received the initial gift.

She created the Totem of Courage for the Warsong Clan.

As long as any warrior in the clan still has the will to fight, it will not extinguish its power.

The more warriors there are, the more vigorous the fighting spirit, the larger the area that the totem can influence.

Within the range that the totem can cover, every orc will be fearless and always maintain the best combat state.

Combat power will be enhanced, defense will be enhanced, and self-healing will also be enhanced.

This is the most suitable artifact for the Warsong Clan!

We only need to dedicate our fanaticism to it every day, and it will give us the rewards we deserve in battle!"

Grommash said proudly.

"That is?"

Entering the camp, Galadar saw many orcs gathered in a circle, watching two orcs duel.

In the center of the duel, there was a huge totem pole, as tall as three or four orcs.

"It's just charging the totem.

Of course, it's also to vent the surging power and fighting spirit in their bodies," Grommash explained.

"The Frostwolf Clan is willing to serve the High Priestess, if she can allow the orcs of the Frostwolf Clan to survive."

Galadar looked at the vibrant Warsong Clan, and then thought about his own clan, which was still struggling with food.

After a moment of silence, he made a decision.

Being able to become a chieftain meant that he was not an orc who couldn't use his brain.

He was honest and straightforward, but he also had his own ideas and thoughts.

Of course, he knew what Grommash had brought him to the camp to see the High Priestess for, and he also knew the purpose of Grommash's blunt and frank disclosure of various information and information to him.

If it was just talk, no matter how good it sounded, Galadar wouldn't care too much.

But if you add what you see with your own eyes, experience with your own body, and personally feel the other party's strength, then he can no longer remain indifferent.

The Frostwolf Clan is not a small clan, but after experiencing the evil dragon infection and attack, the Frostwolf Clan, whose strength has been greatly damaged, has no confidence and qualifications to ask for more in order to survive.

"I will let the High Priestess see the value of the Frostwolf Clan during the Dragon Hunt Festival," Galadar said.

Only strength can be valued.

This is a deeply ingrained concept for all orcs.

The weak and the losers are not qualified to make demands.

……

Azeroth.

"Your child, he will become an important figure in the future who will leverage the course of history," Agatha predicted for Aegwynn's child.

She is also very good at predictive magic.

But she can only vaguely perceive some information, but she cannot observe all the timelines like Gu Yi, make accurate and precise predictions, or even actively guide the timeline to the one she hopes to see.

She can foresee that Aegwynn's child will become an important figure affecting the future, but she cannot accurately know the specific affairs and good or bad.

"As a guardian who inherits my responsibilities, this is only natural!"

Aegwynn responded proudly to Agatha's prediction.

In her opinion, although it was not the girl she wanted most, as a son who could inherit her guardian power, he would definitely be a big figure in the magical world in the future, and he would also become a big figure affecting the world.

Just like her!

She who eliminated Sargeras even changed the future of the entire Azeroth!

As for the guardian needing to obtain the approval of all the archmages of the Tirisfal Council?

Aegwynn said that she had already parted ways with those people.

Anyway, those people can't do anything to her, and they can't force her.

"Is this really good?

Not watching him grow up by his side?" Agatha asked Aegwynn.

"With Nielas, little Medivh will grow up healthy and happy.

And I still have magic to research and explore," Aegwynn shook her head slowly and replied softly.

"Then let's start."

Agatha didn't ask any further, but she affirmed Aegwynn's attitude of pursuing magic and knowledge.

……

Kingdom of Lordaeron.

Terenas Menethil, the newly crowned King of Lordaeron, was standing on a mountain peak, full of vigor, looking at a towering tower-shaped building in the distance.

Beside him was Archmage Kel'Thuzad from the Tirisfal Council.

"What a magnificent and majestic building, isn't it?"

King Terenas said softly, looking at the tower with fascination.

"Of course, I think so too."

Kel'Thuzad also showed considerable obsession with that building.

Anyone who knows that magnificent history cannot be indifferent to this tower.

This is the Dragon Tower!

It is an incredible miracle built by the Dragon Empire of the past using magic to enslave trolls, a few elves, and humans!

Its top is above the clouds.

The tower exudes vast energy fluctuations.

It is said that the Tower of Mages of Dalaran was originally built according to the technology of this tower.

It can be said that all the Towers of Mages are derived from this tower, but with more or less changes.

This tower itself is the supreme tower that makes all mages and elves jealous.

Whoever owns it will have power beyond the Dragon Aspects!

Unfortunately, no one can truly control it except its master, the exiled and sealed Tyrant King.

It is said that some nodes in the tower are connected to the external space.

In its heyday, mages used the power of the tower to safely extract the power of the void from the outside and observe the mysteries of the universe.

But unfortunately, the Dragon Tower, which lost its master, fell into silence.

The elves, humans, and trolls who participated in the construction of the tower at that time and mastered part of the technology jointly controlled part of the authority and [transformed] it into a prison.

A prison used to imprison all the dragons and mixed-blood dragonmen under the command of the Tyrant King.

For thousands of years, countless dragonmen and dragons have been captured from the outside and thrown into this Dragon Tower.

It was only in the last one or two hundred years that the opening of the Dragon Tower gradually subsided.

The dragonmen and dragons who were active outside had been captured almost completely.

They had changed from being rampant to rare.

Even those who were still alive had learned to stay away from the residences of humans and other creatures and mastered the means of hiding themselves.

Now, if you want to see these evil dragons, it is only possible in the extremely harsh and sparsely populated ice plains.

After Bakar was sealed, the only dragon who left when he saw the situation was not good, the ice dragon Skasa's lair is located here.

Over thousands of years, there have been people who have attacked this dragon, but with the help of the harsh environment and its own powerful power, the ice dragon Skasa has repelled the attackers time and time again.

Finally, in the passage of time, the two sides established a tacit understanding.

Humans, elves, etc. no longer attack Skasa in armies, and the ice dragon Skasa will not actively leave the ice plains, nor will she allow her children and dependents to leave the ice plains.

Initially, humans and elves also built outposts in the ice plains to monitor the ice dragon Skasa, but for hundreds of years, the other party has been sleeping in the wind and snow most of the time.

As long as no one goes to disturb it, it will not wake up and go crazy.

The weather in the ice plains occupied by Skasa, which was already harsh, has become even more harsh, and the center of the lair is even more difficult for life other than Skasa's children to survive.

Even if it is as strong as an archmage, entering that disaster-like area will be like being violently attacked by frost magic, and will bear great danger.

So that place has become a forbidden place.

Even the subsequent outposts have been handed over to the Dragon Aspects by humans and elves.

"You say, how many dragonmen are imprisoned inside?" The young Terenas, who had been looking at the Dragon Tower for a long time, suddenly asked after a moment of silence.

"This is not easy to estimate," Kel'Thuzad was stunned for a moment and shook his head.

After thousands of years of accumulation, who knows how many dragonmen and dragons are inside?

Even they, the nominal managers of the Dragon Tower, can actually only control the bottom twenty or thirty floors of the tower.

"Then let me ask another question, how many dragonmen and dragons do you think are still alive inside?" Terenas asked again.

"Dragons are powerful creatures with long lives.

If there is no danger, they can live for a long time.

Of course, this refers to legendary dragons such as the five Dragon Aspects or the three evil dragons.

As for dragonmen, their lifespan may be longer than ours humans, but they certainly cannot compare with elves and ordinary dragons.

If there are no accidents, they may have died almost all of them," Kel'Thuzad thought for a while and gave his answer.

After all, the records about the tower are still more than three hundred years ago.

At that time, it was just a vague record provided by the guardian Aegwynn.

There was no content of any value.

"Then there must be a lot of various [materials] inside," Terenas said softly with a meaningful tone.

Kel'Thuzad's heart suddenly thumped in his chest.

He had vaguely realized what the new King of Lordaeron in front of him had brought him here for.

"The key to the Dragon Tower is kept by humans and elves for a period of time according to the agreement.

I have received a letter from the elves, and the other party will send the key to Lordaeron according to the agreement.

This means that the next ten years of the Dragon Tower belong to the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

I remember, Dalaran also has a key, right?" Terenas looked at Kel'Thuzad beside him with clear eyes.

"As you know, unless it is necessary, the two keys cannot be opened at the same time.

That will affect the seal," Kel'Thuzad reminded in a low voice.

"No, I don't intend to use the key in the hands of the Tirisfal Council.

Besides, as far as I know, this key fell into the hands of the guardian Aegwynn three hundred years ago, and she has not returned it to the council, right?" Terenas smiled and said something that made Kel'Thuzad's face slightly embarrassed.

"I am willing to share the resources of the Dragon Tower with you, Archmage, but it is only right that you should help me do something.

What is your opinion?" Terenas asked frankly and directly.

"What do you need me to do?" Kel'Thuzad asked in an even lower voice, suppressing his excitement.

"I want to make Lordaeron the leader of the human kingdoms, and I want to make it the most powerful kingdom in the Eastern Kingdoms!

I need a powerful army! An elite army with well-equipped and invincible!" Terenas said decisively.
