Maraad's younger sister, Garona's mother, was forcibly taken away by the orcs, and then...you know everything.

Not long after giving birth to Garona, she was sent to the Portal of Darkness as a bio-battery for recharging when she was useless, and never came back.

Even the paladin Maraad, who was as determined as steel, almost fainted on the spot when he heard the news of his sister's death.

Fortunately, the few refugees who managed to escape from the concentration camp told the distraught Marlad some good or bad news.

His sister left behind a child before dying.

Maraad was certain that her sister didn't have any partner before she was taken away, so it was impossible for her to become pregnant for no reason.

As a captive of the orcs, the reason for her pregnancy is different, and she may not even be able to tell who the father of the child is.

Thinking of the torture his sister had suffered, Maraad almost gritted his steel teeth.

If that little life named Garona hadn't diverted his attention, Maraad couldn't guarantee whether he would lose his mind.

Since then, Maraad has been trying to find Garona's whereabouts.

It's a pity that Garona, who was used as a useful tool by Gul'dan, rarely went out to perform tasks alone, and even if she did, she would always be under the remote surveillance of the Shadow Council.

Time passed, and it wasn't until many years after Garona grew up that Maraad accidentally learned something about her from Azeroth.

And that's not good news.

Finally, under the contact of the Mag'har orcs, he met and recognized Garona who had already regained her freedom. Maraad swore to the Holy Light that she would protect her sister's last blood relative at all costs.

Through the exchange of information with Maraad, Jaina learned the reason why Garona infiltrated Thor's Stronghold alone.

It wasn't because they discovered the traces of Talon Gorefiend, but because Garona accidentally confirmed that the Thor clan had taken in a former high-level member of the Shadow Council.

This high-level warlock is named Blackart, one of Gul'dan's registered apprentices, nicknamed "The Instigator".

After Ner'zhul opened the interstellar portal and took the initiative to send people's heads to the door, Blackat, who chose to stay in Draenor, once occupied a part of the ruins of Auchindoun, trying to make a comeback.

However, as the Shattrath coalition forces gradually conquered the lost ground, the mixed forces hiding in the ruins of Auchindoun could no longer hide.

Under the steady advancement of the coalition forces, the Shadow Labyrinth that Blackart had been operating for many years was broken.

As a senior member of the Shadow Council, Blackart, like Talon Gorefiend, knows how to protect himself wisely.

This guy left all his subordinates and the summoned demon queen, and fled alone. After several twists and turns, he fled to Blade's Edge Mountain to seek shelter from the Thunder God clan.

The chief of the Thor Clan, Garm, did not give up the idea of ​​seizing the throne of the Blade's Edge Mountain, and this is the time for employing people.

During the previous Battle of the Blade's Edge, Garm witnessed first-hand the horrific devastation spellcasters can wreak.

The high-ranking warlock Blackart came at the right time, and the two began to discuss quietly how to eliminate the Moknasa clan who held their thighs and replace them.

At this time, Garona came, and she came to pursue Talon Gorefiend and discovered Blackart's whereabouts by accident.

Based on the idea that she would rather kill the wrong than let it go, Garona temporarily gave up Talon Gorefiend who had no clue, and planned to send the high-ranking warlock Blackart to meet his mentor Gul'dan first.

But in fact... Gul'dan's soul has long since died, and was annihilated by Sargeras himself.

Even if Blackart went to the Shadow Realm after his death, he would not be able to find Gul'dan's soul in the Maw.

"How dare the Thor clan take in the remnants of the Shadow Council?"

Having been with Sharlayan for a long time to witness all kinds of big events, Jaina learned how to make use of righteousness under her influence.

In today's Draenor, hunting down the Shadow Council is proper political correctness.

The reason why Draenor has fallen into this situation is undoubtedly the culprit of the shadow council warlocks who have attracted demons.

As Sharlayan's pillow, Jaina knew that her man had always wanted to find a chance to destroy the wicked Thor clan.

However, in order to maintain the balance of the major forces in Blade's Edge Mountain, he did not find a suitable opportunity to attack the Thunder God Clan.

"Now, isn't this opportunity coming?"

A gleam flashed in Jaina's eyes: "Ogres have a feud with orcs, and they hate orc warlocks who sway evil energy indiscriminately."

"If Bloodmaul, Ogrila, and the Blade Tower Ogre know that the ambitious Thor clan intends to reuse the high-ranking orc warlock who defected... Archbishop Maraad, guess what kind of reaction they will have?"

Maraad froze for a moment, he was not sensitive to this kind of political manipulation because of his straightforward temper, he thought for a while before giving an uncertain answer.

"You mean...to kill with a knife?"

"That's right."

Jaina showed a sly smile: "The afterglow of the Gorian Empire and the last two large city-states of the ogre-Knife Tower Fortress and Highmaul Castle were all broken by the old tribes under the control of the Shadow Council."

"Leaving aside the Bloodmaul Clan, once Ogrila and the Dota Clan know that they have captured the Thunder God Clan's plan to use Warlocks, they will definitely be furious and form a joint force to attack the Thunder God Fortress."

Ogres don't like orcs in the first place.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

Including Ogrila, which has a small population, there are already five large factions in the barren Blade's Edge Mountains, and naturally there are not many resources that can be shared with each other.

If you can find a chance to destroy one of them, your clan can get more rations.

This is also the main reason why the three major clans of Blood Hammer, Thor, and Dota jointly attacked Moknasa, just to get one of them out first.

With the strong assistance of Sarlayan and his party, Moknatha performed a salted fish turnaround.

Under the siege of the three major clans, not only were they not eliminated, but they became the overlord of Blade's Edge Mountain recognized by Gruul.

Since Moknatha can't get rid of it for the time being, the three major clans and Ogrila will naturally turn their attention to other forces.

The Thunder God Clan just took the initiative to send out the pretext for a joint attack. The ogres of the three clans had no reason to let this opportunity go easily.

Taking a step back, the Mokenasa clan has some ogre blood, and in terms of closeness, it is at least a bit higher than the Thor orcs.

Hearing Jaina's plan, Maraad subconsciously took a breath.

"...As expected of the partner of the Grand Duke of Deep Shadow who has no plans to leave behind, if this news is really spread, the Thunder God Clan will probably become history soon."

"So~" Jaina shrugged with a smile, "I hope that Garona will not act too quickly, and leave Blackart alive first, otherwise this drama will not be able to continue."

Maraad shook her head and laughed, "Don't worry, Garona is not a brainless reckless woman, she just went in to investigate the situation."

"Until she has collected enough intelligence to ensure that the enemy can be taken down, she will not take the risk."

As Maraad said, Garona didn't rush in when she infiltrated for the first time, and it wasn't long before she left Thor Fortress empty-handed and tried to join Maraad.

"Um?"

Garona, who was still in a stealthy state, quickly discovered a large number of ogres surrounded by Maraad, and Jaina was not noticed because of her petite figure.

According to her habitual thinking, Garona thought her uncle was surrounded by ogres.

But upon closer inspection, these ogres didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, they simply surrounded Maraad in the middle.

And Maraad, who was also tall, was opening and closing his lips at this time, as if he was talking to someone.

Garona, who nimbly jumped to a high place by repeatedly borrowing strength from the tree, finally saw the person beside Maraad clearly.

"That's... Sharlayan's little girlfriend?"

Aim at Jaina to launch a shadow step, and Garona appears in the shadows behind Jaina in an instant.

Originally, Garona thought that Jaina, who was still young and inexperienced in actual combat, would find it difficult to discover her actions, but this was not the case.

Jaina, who often sparred with Valeera, had long been used to the inexplicable weird intuition when thieves approached her.

Sensing that someone was approaching behind her, Jaina subconsciously snapped her fingers with her left hand, and with the help of gestures, instantly launched a Frost Nova... also known as the Ice Ring.

Although the experienced Garona activated the Shadow Cloak immediately when she sensed the mana fluctuation, she was not frozen in place by the ice ring.

But she inevitably got out of the stealth state, and looked at Jaina who flashed out and quickly turned back to put on a fighting stance with a look of surprise.

"...Is this taught by Sharlayan? The younger generation is formidable."
