“As long as we talk about the business, I think we will be fine. The many lords of the Alliance have wanted to gain something out of the Internment Camps and this is a proof of it. Some sort of a reparation for the Second War.” Blackmoore said and seemed to be quite smug.
There was a point on what Lord Blackmoore said. He had gained a lot from how Thrall had been used by him and became a rich man thanks to that. If you and him could argue the fact that he got something out of the lethargic orcs, maybe it could work?
“That is a good point, we shouldn’t contradict each other.” You said.
“Yes, I see you understand what I am saying.” Blackmoore said back.
You had a certain itch to just tell King Terenas what you really thought about Lord Blackmoore, but that itch wasn’t strong enough to overcome your senses. You needed his man and his help. Durnholde could be a strong ally sooner or later and you didn’t want to rock that boat. With the invasion of Strahnbrad Hills approaching, you thought about recalling your men from Durnholde back to Alterac, but in the end you opted not to do so. While you would gain much from having twenty more soldiers in your use, the fact that you would have to recall them would most likely annoy the hell out of the Durnholders and it didn’t feel like a thing you would like to do.
“Then it is preliminary decided.” You said to Blackmoore.
“Good, if not great!” He said back and downed his cup of beer while you continued to sip yours. “We should talk again later. I have the horse carts arranged for all of us, so be ready to leave tomorrow morning.”
Lord Blackmoore stood up and left your table having said that. He was quite a forceful person when he was sober and you didn’t exactly like that, but you had to work with whatever was on your hands.
With your men having cleared the nearby table, you were sure that no one else outside of you and Malevus had heard what Blackmoore had said.
“Get some sleep Malevus, it will be a long ride that we are facing.” You said to her and stood up to leave the table.
You had accepted the coin Durnholde would give you and now you knew what Lord Blackmore would be arguing about, Thrall was just a tool for him to make a profit.
Not that he was his slave forced to fight for his entertainment and renown.
