    “For the Horde!”


    “Long live the Alliance!”


    Such cries were growing increasingly popr in the game world. Lu Li was already broke within a day and a half of training.


    Before the huge event ‘Defence of Azeroth: Invasion of the Scourge’, there was another event called the Battle of Hillsbrad.


    The existence of the Scourge was always present at the gunds. The original king of Lordaeron had already been conquered by the Scourge. Only the Alliance and the Horde managed to resist. Large-scale battles were still yet to begin, but the smaller battles were fairly regr.


    Now, the arge, world-based quest for defending Azeroth was released for yers toplete.


    However, deep-rooted hatred was shared between the Alliance and the Horde. Therefore, an agreement was made where they would have a fight and resolve this conflict.


    These battles were instigated by the yers, which affected their grind for levels. Many NPCs also joined these battles.


    “I want you to kill ve,” Garona suddenly said when she appeared in front of Lu Li.


    Lu Li was busy admiring the scenery as he trained, but it was unfortunate that Garona appeared.


    “I will ept, my teacher.”


    Lu Li didn’t think that there was anything wrong with Garona appearing suddenly. He did not hesitate as he epted her request, but asked, “However, I think I have the right to know why. As you have history with ve, he must be a difficult opponent.”


    “ve is an old Orc warrior. He was already a prominent warrior during the era of Draenor. ckhand named him as one of his most trusted people,” Garona said softly.


    ckhand. When Lu Li heard this name, he couldn’t help but tremble a little.


    Some might not know the name, but they would have heard of the Destroyer, a former Chieftain of the ckrock n. Even the most basic understanding of Azeroth’s history would reveal the horror behind this name.


    Gul’dan and Medivh opened the Dark Portal, then used a puppet Chieftain andmanded legions of Orcs and entered Azeroth. This Chieftain was ckhand.


    Before the Orcs invaded Azeroth, ckhand was already a prominent name in history.


    If this ve was one of ckhand’s most trusted, then his own history would have been well-known.


    Under ckhand’s rule, the ckrock n became the strongest n in all thends. They lived in the Gorgrond Mountains alongside the Gronnskin and the Ogres. They slowly developed greyish-ck skin due to the long years of living in extreme heat. They also had frequent, never-ending shes with the Ogres, which helped to develop their strong bodies and cunning battling methods.


    ckhand was the most cunning warrior among their ranks. No matter who the opponents were, he was able to find and exploit their weaknesses. As a result, he led the ckrock n to prominence and prosperity.


    The name ckhand did not originate from Lu Li being unlucky with looting equipment. There was another story to this.


    Orgrim Doomhammer, ckrock’s right-hand man, nned to change his Legendary weapon, Doomhammer. As a result, he threw it in a pool of moltenva. However, the Elementals punished him for his actions, so they sealed the weapon within the moltenva.


    Throughout the years, countless Orcs hoped to retrieve this hammer, but none were sessful.


    During this time, the Ogres were slowly taking over the territory of the ckrock n. The Ogres then cornered them in the ckrock Foundry. Before the night of the final battle, Orgrim returned to the cave where the Doomhammer was forged and repented of his actions. ckhand then came along with Orgrim and tried to retrieve the Doomhammer.


    The Elementals felt the desire and determination that ckhand had to rescue the ckrock n, even if the cost was at his own life. ckhand did not want to rescue the n for his own glory and pride, but for the n itself.


    The Elementals then decided to return the Doomhammer to ckhand. Then, they taught him the history behind Doomhammer and allowed him to use it to forge other weapons for the n.


    However, the Elementals also told ckhand that although he was unworthy of the Doomhammer, he yed an important role in the prophecy of the Doomhammer. The Elementals then left an eternal mark on ckhand’s right hand of this promise. This mark was a shell made out of ckrock, where moltenva flowed within.


    ckhand then used the knowledge that the Elementals had bestowed upon him and equipped the whole n with armor and weapons. After this, he led the ambush against the Ogres before the dawn and annihted the Ogres. From then on, he decided to call himself ckhand tomemorate this historic event.


    ve was ckhand’s most trusted person and happily changed his name. From then on, this little warrior became one of ckhand’s killing machines. Where ckhand pointed, he would go with his legion and tten anything and anyone that he came across.


    After experiencing many battles, ve was much weaker than in his prime. Most of his legion was dead, but he was still revered as a legendary warrior. In the Battle of Hillsbrad, he was themander of the Horde.


    “My birth came at a cost.”


    Garona, who was usually calm usually bore no expressions, suddenly shed a face of pain and suffering.


    Could ve be Garona’s father? Lu Li froze. Suddenly, he was struck on the back of his head by Garona.


    As Lu Li got back up, he realised that he was only left with a sliver of HP.


    What a level of damage control! No wonder she was a legendary god-level Thief.


    “Stop thinking so much,” Garona scolded, then continued, “I want you to kill ve, because he killed my mother. She was my only family. However, I was forced to swear an oath to never touch that scum.”


    “Can’t any assassin from the group kill him?” Lu Li asked, still hesitant.


    “Only my sons or students can kill him, otherwise, the promise would be broken,” Garona exined as she slowly calmed down. “If you decide to reject this request, I can understand.”


    “I will ept, but I don’t have the absolute confidence that I will be able toplete this quest. After all, he is a general of the Orcs,” Lu Li said truthfully.


    This Battle of Hillsbrad also allowed Lu Li to recall a memory from his previous life.


    However, he didn’t know much about themanders from both sides. He didn’t even know who they were. Therefore, it wasn’t possible for him to be killed by one of them.
