Chapter 2
Magic and Might
The two mysterious tauren charged into the frontline roaring vicious war cries cutting a bloody path through the Legions forces. Kazgruta stood there in dsibelief at the reckless warriors, cutting demon after demon to ribbons.
A Felguard got behind the one with the shield and swung its axe,only to be stopped by a invisible barrier. The one with the shield noticed he was completly surrounded and sent a wave of frost at all the demons surrounding him freezing them solid.
Kazgruta blinked. Magic? he thought.
The orc let a curse escape his lips as a Felguard almost cut him in half. The warlord returned the favor firing his gun at the demons head causing it to drop dead instantly. The tauren with the two-handed sword cut two demons in half yelling "Vengeance for the Manatotem!" he then sent a wall of flame at the demons incinerating eight, maybe nine demons.
The tauren parried an attack only to have his blade shattered in two. He then ducked from the second attack grabbing his bow and firing an arrow between the demons eyes. Kazgruta rushed to come for the taurens defense killing the demon behind the brave bull. The tauren noticed the orc saying "thanks for the help, but there are more demons to slay!" the strange tauren yelled.
Kazgruta feeling agravated asked "What is your name tauren?" the orc the cut a demons head off with his axe.
"Algrubel!" the tauren yelled as he sent a barrage of magical arrows at three demons causing them to explode.
Dermagar came in charging madly at the demons yelling incoherently cutting them to bloody lumps of flesh killing three of them brutaly. The shield bearer tauren came to Algrubel to defend him saying "Brother, find a weapon to use besides the bow, you're running out of arrows!" Algrubel heeding his brothers advice picked up Two orc greatswords that seemed to be light weight compared to other weapons saying "Thanks for the back up Ehanore!"
Kazgruta Yelled to the two tauren saying"I hope more back up comes beside you two because we won't last long!"
the warlords prayer was answered as a battalion of wolf riders lead suprisingly by a an orc riding a white wolf carrying a huge hammer, wearing black armor with bronze trimming on it. The warlord knew now that the orc was his Warchief Thrall. The Warchief let loose with lightning killing five demons, then used his weapon Doomhammer to crush the skull of one more. the other wolf riders followed the Warchiefs example killing demon after demon, until the legion was in full retreat.
The Horde let out a cheer for there Warchief Thrall as battle was saved by him.Kazgruta and his second Dermagar approached there leader with Kazgruta saying" Thank you Warchief." bowing his head as he said that " We wouldn't have survived without you."
Thrall starring at the Warlord with his rare blue eyes said" Your men fought valiantly Warlord Kazgruta." The Warchief then stared at the two tauren who weren't part of the Horde asking" Who are you two?"
Algrubel answering the Thralls question saying " I am Algrubel Manatotem, and this is my brother Ehanore." He then said " I was to be cheiftian of my tribe, but the legion came and slaughtered our kin!" The tauren yelled obviously still mad at the demons.
Thrall then placed his hand on Algrubels shoulder saying " I understand, losing many of my kin, brother and sister in arms."
Kazgruta better understood what Thrall was saying as he had lost one who he considered a brother, Grom Hellscream a hero who has slain Mannoroth, The pit lord who corrupted the orcs.
Thrall now starred at the corpse of another pit lord now dead asking " who slew that demon?"
Algrubel then said " that would be me Warchief." Bowwing as he said that.
Thrall then said with a smile " How would you like to serve the Horde and aid us against the Legion?"
Algrubel replied saying " I would serve you loyaly Warchief."
Thrall then looked over to Kazgruta asking " Is he as brave as he says?"
Kazgruta then replied " Yes Warchief and powerful as well."
"Very well then" said Thrall " Then I Thrall, Warchief of the Horde, appoint you Algrubel Manatotem as an Overlord and making the now High Warlord Kazgruta your second in command. Do you accept?"
Algrubel at first stunned by the offer then kneeled to the Warchief saying " I accept, and pledge my loyalty to you and the Horde."
