Traveling through the game world

"Benefits? What benefits?!" Arthas looked completely bewildered, utterly clueless as to what benefits Thrall and Jaina could possibly gain from taking Grom Hellscream away. This was simply unbelievable.

"Hehe, the benefits are huge! Wouldn't you say killing a high-ranking demon lord of the Burning Legion is a great perk?" Lian Yang chuckled, his eyes gleaming with greed.

"Are you sure?" Arthas's eyes lit up when he heard Lian Yang say that. After all, this was World of Warcraft, and more importantly, it was a game world where everyone had the right to level up and fight monsters, and everyone had the ability to obtain equipment.

A high-ranking demon lord of the Burning Legion would first provide Lian Yang and Arthas with a massive amount of experience, an amount that could be described as terrifying. This was a godsend for Lian Yang and Arthas, who were currently lacking experience to level up.

Secondly, as a high-ranking demon lord of the Burning Legion, once he is killed, aside from anything else, some of his equipment will definitely be seized by Lian Yang and Arthas. Furthermore, as a demon lord, his body itself is an excellent forging material, making it easy to forge some super artifacts.

"Of course I'm sure, absolutely certain!" Lian Yang said with great certainty, because according to the game's storyline, Grom should soon be restored by Jaina and Thrall under Medivh's guidance. At that point, not to mention the orcs would have gained another super warrior.

Mannoroth himself would never allow Grom to escape his control. You see, Mannoroth himself would still suffer some weakening on the continent of Azeroth, but Grom Hellscream would not. Therefore, Grom Hellscream is Mannoroth's most perfect weapon.

Mannoroth clearly will not accept this, so here's the key point of the plot: in order to regain control of Grom Hellscream, Mannoroth will definitely descend to Azeroth in his true form and try to control Grom Hellscream once again.

"Could it be Mannoroth?" Hearing Lian Yang's certainty, Arthas's mind raced, and he immediately speculated, "I feel that, as of now, the only one who can be associated with Grom Hellscream is Mannoroth, who drank his blood. Moreover, apart from Mannoroth, no ordinary person would dare to challenge two demigods, Thrall and Grom Hellscream."

"That's right, it's Mannoroth!" Lian Yang chuckled. "Jaina and Thrall will definitely find a way to rescue Grom Hellscream. When that happens, Mannoroth won't let it go. I'm confident he'll come to Azeroth himself. You know, the Burning Legion isn't doing too well in Azeroth right now; they simply can't afford to lose Grom Hellscream."

"Hehe..." Arthas chuckled and said, "As expected of Lian Yang, he's quite the schemer. But I like it!" Arthas had great faith in Lian Yang's calculations. After all, Lian Yang had been acting as Arthas's strategist and advisor from beginning to end.

"Hurry up, we need to get there early so we can help Jaina and integrate into Thrall's circle as quickly as possible!" Lian Yang chuckled. "Also, let me tell you, although Thrall is an orc, you'd better not underestimate him. Having grown up in the human world, he's extremely cunning."

Thrall is the current Warchief of the Orcs, in other words, the supreme leader of the Orcs. Even demigods like Grom Hellscream are, to some extent, subordinates of Thrall.

This high-ranking and powerful figure grew up in human society and was even a slave to humans when he was young. However, this former slave is now the chieftain of the orcs. Although it is partly due to his being the son of the orc hero Durotan, his personal abilities are absolutely terrifying.

“I know him! Durotan’s son!” Arthas nodded and said, “This man is truly remarkable. I’m not lying. Ever since he rose to become the Great Chieftain of the Orcs, almost every piece of information about him in the human kingdoms has been thoroughly investigated. So, the fact that he was once a human slave is no secret at all. And it is precisely because of this that this guy has always remained at the highest level in the various human kingdoms. He is incredibly patient.”

Arthas couldn't afford not to know about Thrall, because humans and orcs would inevitably clash again sooner or later. And for a peerless powerhouse like Thrall, Arthas had to pay close attention. Not to mention, Thrall was backed by the entire orc tribe, making him an even bigger problem, requiring extra caution.

"You know that's good, but for now, this guy can see some things about the future, so his enemy has always been the Burning Legion. In the short term, I think if you don't have a direct conflict of interest with him, there won't be any major clashes of interests. You know, after several natural disasters, the kingdom has almost no money left, but the orcs are different. Although they went through a difficult migration, the orcs are not a race that consumes a lot of resources, and their desire for war is also very strong. Right now, it's not suitable for humans and orcs to go to war."

"Understood!" Arthas nodded. He knew a bit about Thrall's situation, and in some ways he was even more knowledgeable about politics than Lian Yang. However, there were some things he couldn't say because he had to make sure his intentions weren't guessed, as that would be too dangerous.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. Let's head towards the orcs now. We still don't know how far Jaina and Thrall have progressed with the ritual."

"Alright!" Arthas nodded, and without further ado, summoned his mount and began to gallop wildly: "Hey Lianyang, your little one is really cool!"

However, although Arthas's own tall horse was indeed very handsome, it was still not as majestic as the Qilin that Lian Yang rode. After all, the Qilin is a divine beast, while Arthas's horse was just an excellent horse with no fighting ability whatsoever.

"I'll get you a decent one when I get the chance, but there aren't many obedient ones like Little Dot!" Lian Yang chuckled. After all, Little Dot was his brother, and Lian Yang was happy when someone praised Little Dot.

Orc tribes

"Roar! Thrall, let me go! Why did you lock me up!" Grom Hellscream roared madly as soon as he woke up from his coma. He absolutely refused to accept being locked up by Thrall. In fact, because of this, Grom Hellscream even had the idea of ​​killing Thrall. Although he found this idea very terrifying, he couldn't help but think of it.

“Listen, Grom, you have been corrupted by evil. The spring water you drank was stained with demon blood. The powerful force you felt was just an illusion. The real reason is that the demon blood put you in a completely illusory state, preventing you from feeling any real power.”

"Roar!" No matter what Thrall said, Grom Hellscream remained unmoved, even letting out a beast-like roar. He had to break free of Thrall's restraints. A voice in his mind told Grom Hellscream to quickly eliminate the enemy before him and then go and kill more enemies. This was Grom Hellscream's mission.

"Suppress him quickly!" Medivh's expression changed drastically when he saw Grom Hellscream's eyes growing increasingly bloodshot. He exclaimed, "If we want to save him, now is the time! Now is the moment when the demonic energy within him erupts. Only now can we completely destroy the demonic energy within him!"

"I understand!" Thrall nodded. He had a rough idea. There's a saying that the enemy's strongest point is also their weakest point. The same applies to the current effect of the demon blood. First of all, for Mannoroth's blood to corrupt Grom Hellscream, it must first activate its own energy. But, just like starting a car consumes the most fuel.

When Mannoroth's blood is activated, it is also when Mannoroth's blood is most vulnerable. Only at this time can the power of magic be used to completely destroy the demonic energy within Grom Hellscream's body.

"Hoo! Be quiet, my brother!" Without saying a word, Thrall poured his surging and pure dispel energy into Grom Hellscream.

"Roar..." When Thrall's energy was poured into Grom Hellscream's body, the intense energy reaction caused the iron-willed Grom Hellscream to let out a painful roar. The pain of his blood being burned was something that ordinary people could not withstand.

"Thrall! My friend, what are you doing! I'm in pain!" Although a voice kept telling Grom Hellscream to kill Thrall in front of him, Grom Hellscream knew very well that the orc in front of him was his best friend, and he would never lay a hand on his best friend.

“I know you’re in pain, I really know, but buddy, you’ve been corrupted by demonic blood. I have to do everything I can to remove the demonic energy from you. Only then can you be yourself again!” If he could, Thrall would never want to hurt his friend like this, but the current situation didn’t allow Thrall much room for his own thoughts. He could only try to rescue Grom Hellscream first.

"Let me help you!" Jaina saw that it was too difficult for Thrall to purify Grom Hellscream all by himself, and the two of them were actually not that different in strength.

“Okay!” Thrall didn’t even look up; he had no more energy to be polite with Jaina.

"Purify!" Jaina shouted, and without further ado, she raised her hand, channeling her surging magical power into Grom Hellscream as well.

"Roar! I'm going to kill you!" Grom Hellscream could tolerate Thrall inflicting pain on himself, but Jaina was clearly not within Grom Hellscream's tolerance range. Thrall was Grom Hellscream's friend, but Jaina was not.

Sure enough, Grom Hellscream, enraged to the point of madness, began to truly unleash his ferocity, his bloodshot eyes fixed intently on Jaina, so much so that it was visible to the naked eye.

Outland, Black Temple

"Damn humans, they actually want to break through my energy!" As Thrall began to help Grom Hellscream break free of his control, Mannoroth, as the owner of Grom Hellscream's energy, learned of the news. Of course, he would never allow his pawn to be given freedom.

So Mannoroth didn't hold back at all, and in his furious roar, he transmitted all his surging energy remotely to Grom Hellscream. And it was precisely because of this that Thrall was initially unable to break through Grom Hellscream's demonic energy shell by himself.

With Jaina's energy intervention, it's clear that Mannoroth, who can only transmit energy remotely, is at a significant disadvantage. This is because the energy loss during remote transmission is substantial. Therefore, Mannoroth is actually at a considerable disadvantage at this point, since Thrall, despite his low profile, is undoubtedly a super expert and a demigod-level being.

Orc tribe

"Jaina, I'm here!" Arthas didn't say much as he arrived near the orc camp. In fact, he had only two purposes for coming here: to see Jaina and to kill a demon.

"Quickly, Arthas, I need your Holy Light energy!"

When Arthas walked in, Jaina didn't look up, but she knew very well that this person must be her lover Arthas, so she didn't stand on ceremony at all.

"Alright!" Arthas didn't waste any more words. As Grom Hellscream was firmly immobilized by Thrall, Arthas's Holy Light energy flowed into Grom Hellscream's body along with Jaina's magical energy.

"Roar!" Grom Hellscream roared like a beast once again. The feeling of the Holy Light energy cleansing the demonic energy within his body was too painful. Even a tough guy like Grom Hellscream could hardly bear it.

However, Arthas's energy has one extremely powerful aspect: once baptized by the Holy Light, his demonic energy is completely eliminated. This elimination is essentially an energy conversion, far superior to the direct energy cancellation experienced by Thrall and Jaina. Although the degree of pain is exactly the same, the thoroughness of the purification differs, and there is no weakness after purification.
