Chapter 690: The Beginning of ‘For the Horde!’

Translator: Noodletown Translations  Editor: Noodletown Translations

The epic legends told by the bards sounded very distant for people in this age. The deeds in the legends had been long forgotten or only existed in the fragmented tales or legends passing down from the distant past. However, part of the things told in the seemingly unreachable legends and tales had existed all the time but were not known to ordinary people.

Humans seemed to be living on an island named Ignorance in the gloomy ocean which was vast and contained endless mysteries. But luckily for most of the people, they didn’t venture too far out or examine things too carefully.

-In the Silver Moon Forest of the Elf Clan-

In the royal palace of the Elf Clan lived the royal members who enjoyed the loftiest rank within their society. Only elders and royal members could enter this place.

Standing beside the lake that was as calm as a clear mirror, a silver-haired and silver-bearded old elf seemed to be able to look through the lake and into the void with his deep eyes.

“What do you see, First Elder?” A middle-aged elf who wore the same luxurious elder robe walked up from behind.

“I see nothing… except for darkness…” that elder murmured, “How long has it been since the last time that we received a message from the Elf God…?”

Only silence answered him.

“…”

“Elder.” After a long while, an elf reported to him, “From the clues that we have gathered, we seemed to have found something new…”

The silver-haired and silver-bearded elder of the Elf Clan nodded and asked solemnly, “Where’s Elder Sewell? I haven’t seen her lately.”

“Elder Sewell went to a human nation, saying that she would try a mystical realm in a place called Origins Internet Café. She said that she will be back at the end of August.”

“What month is it now…?” The First Elder of the Elf Clan glanced around the trees. Despite the permanent spring in the forest, he could still detect the small changes.

“It’s October now, Elder.”

“Has Elder Sewell returned…?”

“Not yet…”

…

– In the new Canglan City Shop of Origins Internet Café –

At this moment, messages jumped in Mr. Fang’s QQ’s interface.

-Inside the chat box with Dong Qingli-

Mr. Fang said, [I say… Can’t you detect any new business opportunity after being a shop owner for so long?]

Dong Qingli replied, [(Pikachu’s cute emoji) What business opportunity? You won’t agree to sell me hundreds of boxes of instant noodles!]

Mr. Fang’s face twitched. [No… With so many people coming from outside the city, don’t you see their needs?]

[What needs?]

Mr. Fang replied, [… They need to eat!]

Dong Qingli said, [I know it. Many of them go to my restaurant, but the seats are not enough for them all sometimes. Later, some people have begun bringing meals with them…]

[So…] Mr. Fang suggested, [Can’t you do the takeout business?! Since you don’t have enough seats in the restaurant, you can deliver the food to them! Now that everyone has communication jades, can’t you guys use your brain and think of a solution?!]

[Um… You might be right…] Dong Qingli thought for a moment and said.

[Might be?! What do you mean by might be?] Mr. Fang’s face darkened. [Do you know how to do business? Do you need me to teach you how to run your own business?]

[No… My restaurant is managed by Wanyu and others…]

Mr. Fang was at a loss for words, […]

– In the chat box with Shen Qingqing –

Mr. Fang said, [Do you guys have plans after graduation?]

Shen Qingqing said, [What plans?]

Mr. Fang said, [Don’t you have any ambition? What’s your dream?]

Shen Qingqing replied, [My dream is staying in Jiuhua City. After playing games for a few more years, I will become a female Emperor Warrior with my talent.]

Mr. Fang said, [Don’t you have a bigger dream?]

Shen Qingqing said, [I think this dream is very big.]

Mr. Fang looked frustrated. [You lazy people. By the way, I got the content ready for the new official novels. One is Dungeon Fighter Online and the other is World of Warcraft: Rise of the Horde.]

The plot for Dungeon Fighter Online focused on the stories of the adventurers and thus was relatively simple.

The other book, Rise of the Horde, could be seen in World of Warcraft the game. On Mr. Fang’s screen, the undead rogue was holding a damaged book – Rise of the Horde.

When he opened the book, he could read the fragments of the story.

In World of Warcraft, one could find treasure chests and treasures in the relics and caves. Likewise, there were stories about World of Warcraft in relics or libraries. They told some stirring past events relating to World of Warcraft.

“Hu…” Fang Qi exhaled deeply. He only remembered the general plot of the story. Only if he could find the original story… even a partial one would be helpful.

Of course, in the game, he could only see a damaged book written in the Horde language, which meant that he would need translators who excelled in the Spiritual State language and the Nora Continent language to do the work.

Therefore, an idea occurred to him…

At this moment, Jessica and the other janitors who were eating melons and drinking tea in the Yuanyang City Shop picked up their communication jade. “… Ugh? An opportunity to get a promotion…? Translate Rise of the Horde?”

“What’s this thing?”

…

After the teleportation array was in operation, Fang Qi could travel between his shops with ease.

In the Wind and Moon Pavilion, Mr. Fang booked a compartment.

Besides Mr. Fang, Shen Qingqing and the super janitor team including Jessica sat in it.

Mr. Fang was sulky that he, an internet café owner, had to tell stories to these people.

On second thought, he realized that it would be great for him if his games could be presented to all the players perfectly.

…

As told in the book, “This tale isn’t about the Horde as it existed today, a loose organization of orcs, taurens, forsaken, trolls, and blood elves. It is about the earliest Horde, the Horde that first rose. Like that of any infant, its birth was marked by blood and pain, and its harsh cries seeking for life meant death to its enemies.”

“This bloody story had a peaceful beginning. It was in a rolling valley in the green continent named Draenor…”

The story told how the orcs turned from a peaceful race to slaves of the Burning Legion, how they became blood-thirsty, combative, and destructive, and how Ner’zhul and Gul’dan fell and degenerated driven by their hunger for strength and power.

With a tragic tone, the book retold the gradual downfall of the Orc Clan and the helpless lamentations of all the conscientious orcs.

The exile of the Frostwolf Clan gave the orcs a sliver of hope and made them get away from the conflicts, saving the last bit of force for the orc race.

…

The following was one paragraph from the book:

Blackhand, the Warlord of Blackrock Clan, demonstrated the first group of warlocks that he had trained to other clans.

“Brothers and sisters of the orc race!” Blackhand shouted, “You gave me honor and respect, and I will not let down the countless noble warriors. We’re strengthening our weapons and armor each day. Now, we discard those unpredictable elements and possess true power, which means that we don’t have to beg from anyone for anything. This power is controlled and mastered by our warlocks! This is true power! We have a clear objective; we will eliminate the Draenei from our land! They will not be able to block the crazy herds of our warriors and warlocks. We will be their worst nightmare! Fight!”

He raised his arms and shouted, “For the Horde!”

Thousands of voices yelled with great passion, “For the Horde! For the Horde! For the Horde!”

The tragic and thrilling scene was only a small splash in the huge plot of World of Warcraft, but the words ‘For the Horde’ had since spread all over the world.
