Chapter 415: Turning the Tables - Part 2

Before hearing this voice, Orgrim Doomhammer had already prepared a passionate speech.

"Humans slander us as savages, bloodthirsty, cannibalistic, and indiscriminate killers, but these are all rumors spread by the remnants of the fallen Stormwind kingdom..."

He could boast as much as he wanted, as long as these humans acted according to his plans, inciting a peasant uprising in the Hillsbrad Foothills region, distracting the forces and attention of Stormwind and Dalaran, and allowing the Horde's main force to successfully capture Lordaeron City.

As for what would happen to the people of Alterac, Orgrim couldn't care less.

He had always wished his opponents were straightforward and brave warriors, so he could demonstrate his and the orcs' bravery. Unfortunately, apart from Lothar who seemed to have some spirit of direct confrontation, all he encountered from beginning to end was Duke, who was considered extremely despicable in the eyes of the orcs, but undoubtedly very effective in his strategic tactics, strangling the orcs.

Since the human commander was so despicable, Orgrim didn't mind dealing with the humans in the same way.

Conquering a human kingdom without shedding a drop of blood! Even if it's the smallest human kingdom. This achievement is what Orgrim, who is in dire need of honor, needs. He needs a victory to prove himself. After all, continuous defeats have tarnished his reputation.

When Orgrim met the messenger, he was afraid that this was a trap, but he also longed to control Alterac, so he called so many powerful chieftains and heroes, and used Zuluhed's dragon riders to keep the situation under control.

Everything went smoothly, he easily subdued the wavering, fox-like king. But he didn't expect to hear once again the voice he least wanted to hear— the voice of Duke Markus, the Deputy Commander of the Alliance.

Not only did Orgrim's face change drastically, but Aiden and Hass also changed their expressions. As people who had dealt with Duke many times, they naturally recognized Duke's voice. What they hadn't calculated was that the source of Duke's voice was actually Lord Barov.

'Lord Barov' straightened up, his face full of mockery and unparalleled confidence.

Under the surprised and inexplicable gaze of everyone, a ripple-like wave appeared on his body. The slightly fat and old figure quickly disappeared, revealing a young and robust body in a blue and white mage robe.

Illusion?

How is this possible?!

Not only the less knowledgeable orcs, but also the upper echelons of Alterac showed expressions of horror.

They could accept that Duke deceived them with perfect makeup.

The nobles had seen illusions, but those rough, motionless illusions were completely different from Duke's lifelike illusions. The most common illusions were those trying to cover up a secret passage. When had they seen such expressive facial illusions?

How high is Duke's mastery of magic, this mere Morningstar?

Moreover, Duke's timing of appearing at the most critical point made their 'horror' have to be followed by the word 'despair', turning into utter horror.

Orgrim was very decisive!

Historically, he was not only wise, but also an absolute opportunist. Playing dirty was definitely a specialty of this Warchief of the Horde.

In this life, Duke didn't give him the opportunity to perform the good show of ambushing Warchief Blackhand, but that didn't mean Orgrim wasn't cunning.

Without even a greeting, Orgrim directly gave a look, and a Blademaster from the Burning Blade Clan emerged from invisibility, his sharp long knife

directly slashing towards Duke's neck. At the same time, Orgrim suddenly charged, his burly brown-red body turning into a dazzling streak of light, killing towards Duke.

Yes! He wanted to kill Duke instantly!

To nip this biggest instability in the bud.

You should know, the entire room was filled with humans, and his people had not yet fully controlled the palace. If Duke, this Deputy Commander of the Alliance, were to rally here, things would definitely develop in a direction unfavorable to the Horde.

However, he miscalculated.

His hammer strike missed, and instead clashed with the Blademaster's long knife in mid-air, knocking the Blademaster, who was hastily withdrawing his attack, flying.

Duke, who should have been killed between the hammer and the knife, turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the air.

Still an illusion!?

Not good!

Orgrim suddenly reacted, turning his neck towards Samuro, the heroic Blademaster who was controlling King Aiden, at the fastest speed. Unfortunately, before he could shout "Watch out," Samuro had already been hit.

Fast!

Too fast!

No one expected Duke to be so decisive.

Almost the moment he appeared, Duke had already disappeared from his original position. The Arcane magic of the Mage, Invisibility, gave Duke a brief invisibility. Originally, a Mage's Invisibility did not have the speed boost of a Blademaster's Windwalk. However, Duke had been enhanced by the Storm Altar.

In the system prompt on Duke's retina, the following information was displayed:

"You have used the new skill Windwalk. You can enter an invisible state for up to 60 seconds. In the invisible state, you can gain double movement speed and use Blink once without breaking the invisibility. When you perform your first Frost attack, your critical hit rate is 100%, and the speed of magic flight increases by 50%."

Duke's own movement speed was not fast, and in this state, he could run into a hundred meters within 10 seconds without obstacles, but due to his low agility and lack of good dynamic vision, this speed had to be discounted, especially in crowded places where it was easy to collide.

Even so, it was still terrifying.

Duke, in his invisible state, raised his hand and a Frost Vortex sent the unsuspecting Samuro flying.

Originally, Duke wanted to kill Samuro instantly, but heroes are heroes. Even in this state of being ambushed, in this moment that seemed impossible to others, Samuro was able to use Mirror Image.

The Frost Vortex, enhanced by Ice Barrier and Ice Lance, if fully hit, considering the Blademaster's high attack and low defense characteristics, instant kill was not surprising. But Samuro's Mirror Image made Duke's Frost Vortex unable to fully function.

He did hit, but it only injured Samuro and knocked him flying.

Of course, at the last moment, Duke used an Ice Wall to block Samuro's attack on King Aiden, scaring the king half to death.

For a moment, the situation reversed, and it was Duke's turn to smile and put his hand on King Aiden's shoulder.

"For the Alliance!"

Duke shouted, and suddenly a group of killers rushed in from the main hall and the side doors.

Orgrim's face suddenly changed.
