World of Warcraft Murloc City Guide - Chapter 354
c354 forced expropriation
Murloc Village in Deadwater Oasis.
The town’s Level 3 walls, built with the help of stonemasons from the former Stormwind Stonemasons Guild, stand tall and form one of the strongest lines of defense in the Barrens.
Slark went to Camp Taurajo, but Yang Yi was worried. He stayed in Deadwater Village and waited for the result.
In a blink of an eye, five days passed, and there was no news from Camp Taurajo.
The Tauren Village across the lake was very quiet these days. Even the big black bulls who came to the lake to fetch water were well behaved and did not conflict with the murlocs.
It seems that Magatha’s instructions worked, and the big black bulls dared not mess around.
The murlocs in Deadwater Village were not idle either. In addition to necessary work such as construction and production, the idle murlocs were sent to the lake to catch [mutated fish].
While guarding the Deadwater Village, Yang Yi would look up to the southeast from time to time to see if there were any flying mounts flying by.
At noon on this day, Yang Yi finally found a bat mount flying towards Deadwater Village.
The goblin Deslik came back riding a bat mount.
Yang Yi hurried forward, but found that Slark was not on the bat mount.
“Deslik, what’s going on? Where is Slark?” Yang Yi hurriedly grabbed the goblin’s hand and asked loudly.
“Boss, you hurt me.” The goblin Deslik screamed.
Yang Yi let go of his hand. “Tell me what happened after you went to the Taurazu camp.”
“Yes, I’ll tell you right away.” The goblin Deslik said. “I sent Slark to the Taurazu camp, and then we separated. I was taken away by the Tauren soldiers and guarded in a small wooden house. I don’t know what happened in the middle. I didn’t come back until the Tauren soldiers released me today.”
“They didn’t even let you bring Slark back with you?” Yang Yi asked.
“Today, when I was in the cabin, I heard Slark’s strange cry. Soon after, there was a commotion outside. I heard a tauren shouting at the murlocs to set fire. When I left, I saw that the tent in the middle of the Taurazu camp was burned. I thought it was Slark who did it.” The goblin Deslik said.
Yang Yi was shocked and angry when he heard it.
Slark was not an impulsive murloc. He must have been forced to set the fire.
Yang Yi regretted that he should not have let Slark go to the Taurazu camp.
He was going to summon the murlocs to find Slark in the Taurazu camp.
At this time, more than a dozen wyverns descended from the sky and landed in the Deadwater Village.
A group of orcs got off the wyverns.
This group of orcs directly crossed the city wall and landed in the Deadwater Village. Obviously, they did not come with good intentions.
Yang Yi quickly checked with the Lord’s Eye.
Eitrigg,?
Regosa Deathgate, level 8 orc warrior
Sergra Blackthorn, level 7 orc shaman,…
“These orcs are so powerful!” Yang Yi was shocked. “The old orc whose level cannot be checked is Eitrigg! He is the advisor of the chieftain of the tribe, Thrall, and is said to be a hero.”
“What is Eitrigg doing in Deadwater Village? The female orc Blackthorn is following him. Does it mean that Slark will face a hero-level figure like Eitrigg when he goes to the Taurajo camp? How much pressure should he face?”
“These orcs are aggressive and angry. Are they flying to Deadwater Village to ask for punishment?”
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Yang Yi’s mind, and he had an ominous premonition.
“Where is the fishman Poseidon?” Eitrigg roared with an axe.
Yang Yi had no choice but to stand up: “I am.”
“Just in time.”
Eitrigg shouted, then kicked his feet and turned into a shadow and rushed towards Yang Yi.
Yang Yi felt a black screen before his eyes, and then he was knocked out.
He flew more than ten meters away and rolled on the ground for several times before he stopped.
Sudden heavy blow, Yang Yi felt like his body was hit by a battering ram, and the bones in his body seemed to have fallen apart. He lay on the ground and could no longer exert any strength.
With a charge, Eitrigg knocked Yang Yi to the ground and lost his fighting ability.
Two orcs ran forward, took out ropes and tied up Yang Yi who was lying on the ground.
When the other fishmen in Deadwater Village saw the mayor being defeated and held hostage, they were suddenly confused and at a loss.
Other orcs also showed their strength. They rushed forward and knocked down all the fishmen who dared to resist, and soon subdued all the fishmen in Deadwater Village.
Then the orcs climbed up the wall of Deadwater Village carrying a bright red tribal flag and erected the flag on the gate, declaring that the tribe occupied Deadwater Village.
Not long after, a mighty orc army came from the crossroads, passed through the open gate of Deadwater Village, and entered Deadwater Village.
This orc army was huge, with as many as 7,000 orc soldiers, and brought a large number of war wolf mounts. They were well-equipped and dressed in uniform, and each soldier wore a black-bottomed white-patterned military uniform with the image of a roaring orc.
Yang Yi and other murlocs were tied up and escorted to the square in front of the town center of Deadwater Village, guarded by a team of fierce orc soldiers.
Seeing so many orc soldiers, Yang Yi looked ashen and gave up struggling.
“The last time Regosa Deadgate led the tribal army to attack the centaurs in Deadwater Oasis, there were only about 2,000 soldiers, which was considered a big battle at the time. Why did the orcs send so many soldiers to Deadwater Village this time?”
Yang Yi thought about it and realized that a dead water village would not cause the orcs to mobilize so many troops. They must have other intentions.
The orcs did not explain anything to the fishmen. After entering the dead water village, the orc soldiers set up camp in the open space near the lake and made fire to cook.
The orc soldiers were disciplined and did not plunder the supplies of the dead water village.
Seeing the orcs behave like this, Yang Yi felt a little relieved. At least it shows that the orcs are not coming for the fishmen in the dead water village, and there may be room for slowing down.
There are many orc soldiers. By the time they have settled down, it is almost dark.
Two orc soldiers were ordered to come to the square and take Yang Yi away alone.
Yang Yi was escorted to the military tent and met Eitrigg.
Behind Eitrigg stood two orcs, one was Regotha Deathgate, and the other Yang Yi had never seen.
Eitrigg spoke first: “Murloc Mayor, your Murloc village is very special, with tall and thick walls. This is the first time I have seen such a Murloc village in my life. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it.”
Yang Yi didn’t know what Eitrigg meant by saying this, so he answered carefully: “In order to defend against the centaurs, we had no choice but to build the walls better.”
Considering that the Korkar centaurs were also enemies of the tribe, Yang Yi told the truth.
“The walls are indeed an effective means of defending against the attacks of the centaurs. I heard that you once led the Murlocs to defeat the Korkar centaurs. Is this true?” Eitrigg asked.
“It is true.” Yang Yi replied. “The Korkar centaurs attacked us several times, and we defeated them all. However, the number of Korkar centaurs attacking us was not large, and the maximum number was less than a thousand at a time.”
After listening to Yang Yi’s answer, Eitrigg nodded with satisfaction and said: “The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Untie the rope for the Murloc Mayor.”
The orc soldiers untied Yang Yi.
Finally freed from the bondage, Yang Yi moved his stiff hands and feet.
“Eitrigg has been talking about the Kolkar centaurs, and said that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. It seems that the purpose of the orc army’s visit to Deadwater Village this time is the Kolkar centaurs. The orc army’s target is not Ratchet Town, which is a blessing in disguise.” Yang Yi guessed secretly and breathed a sigh of relief.
After Yang Yi was untied, Eitrigg began to introduce the two orcs around him to him. “Murloc Poseidon, this is Kgur Bloodaxe, the general of Warsong. This is Lieutenant General Regotha Deathgate, you have already met him.”
Yang Yi secretly used the Lord’s Eye to check when Eitrigg introduced him. He could not see the level of Kgur Bloodaxe, which meant that he was at least one level higher than Regotha Deathgate, who was at level 8.
Eitrigg’s introduction also proved this point.
Kgur Bloodaxe is a general, and Regotha Deathgate is a lieutenant general.
Although many people call Regotha Deathgate a general, it is just a respectful title. His actual rank is a lieutenant general.
The military ranks of the tribe are very detailed, including legionnaires, centurions, warriors, lieutenant generals, generals, warlords, and senior warlords.
If we break it down, there are scouts, infantry, non-commissioned officers, senior non-commissioned officers, and blood guards below the legionnaires.
General is a higher rank than lieutenant generals. It is no wonder that General K’gur Bloodaxe’s rank is higher than Lieutenant General Regotha Deathgate.
Yang Yi did not expect that Eitrigg would introduce the orc generals to him one by one. The advisor of the great chieftain had an attitude of treating the fishmen as equals. This was different from his performance when he occupied the Deadwater Village with thunder.
Seeing that the atmosphere had eased a little, Yang Yi mustered up the courage to ask, “I sent Slark to the Taurajo camp to participate in the discussion, but I didn’t see him come back. I don’t know where he is now.”
“Slark set fire and is now being held in the Taurajo camp to be punished.” Eitrigg said. “We have discussed it at the Taurajo camp. The tribe will requisition the fishman village in the Deadwater Oasis.”
“Did Slark agree?” Yang Yi asked.
“Unfortunately, Slark did not agree. He is a tenacious fishman and a hateful fishman.” Eitrigg said with a little anger in his tone.
Yang Yi had guessed that Slark did not agree, otherwise he would not have set fire to the place of discussion.
Slark represented the town of Ratchet. He did not agree to the tribe’s request to requisition the Deadwater Village, but the tribe still forcibly requisitioned the Deadwater Village without any explanation.
This is the strength of the tribe.
In the face of absolute strength, no explanation is needed.
Eitrigg continued: “Next, the tribe will use this place as an outpost camp to attack the base camp of the Korkar Centaur in the Barrens – Sweetwater Oasis. I heard that Mayor Poseidon is a smart fishman, so I believe you fishmen can cooperate.”
“How should we cooperate?” Yang Yi asked.
“You murlocs don’t have to do anything. This is the best cooperation. The tribe just wants to borrow your village to fight against the Kolkar centaurs.” Eitrigg said.
Yang Yi understood that the orcs came to requisition Deadwater Village because of its level 3 town wall.
