Jurai was rather surprised by Alexandria's openmindedness. He nodded respectfully as she spoke, rather impressed with how well she handled her men. "I much appreciate that Alexa,and thank you for you kindness. Not many of my own men remain, four squads, but all of them are hardened by years of war, and would make a fine addition to your army. They will be happy to hear that they are welcome amongst you, and are every bit as eager as I am to ensure the rest of Terra does not suffer the same fate as our homeland." he replied.<br/><br/>"I agree with your assessment, the time for past grudges is over, we fought over land in the past, and now we fight for our very survival, our freedom. Such petty arguements have no place in a time of crisis such as this." Jurai then turned to the few orcs gathered among the soldiers from Outlook, clearing his throat to get their attention. "I am no longer your general, as you well know, but I have come to know all of you personally. What I am about to say is not said as your commander, but as your friend and ally. We, more than any mortals alive, know exactly how much of a threat the demons are to our world. I know none of you can bear to sit idly by while Terra burns, corrupted by the unholy influence the spreads from our once proud home, I know I certainly can not. As such, I intend to join my strength with those who would see the demons repelled, and I advise all of you to do the same. And know this: the demons care not for our pasts, our race, our culture... there are no orcs or humans or elves to them. They see only lambs to be slaughtered or enslaved. But we will show them that they hunt not frightened deer, but angry tigers. The humans and elves around you are our enemies no longer. Rather, they are our brothers and sisters in arms, every bit as willing as ourselves to risk all they have to defend our world. And I advise each and every one of you to treat them with the respect such honorable warriors deserve."<br/><br/>The orcs all nodded solemnly as Jurai concluded his speech. They understood the stakes, and knew who their true foes were. Any past conflicts were irrelevant now. The demons had changed the way the world worked, and they had to adapt or die. And orcs are nothing if not survivors. Jurai then turned back to Alexandria. "I understand how you feel. None of us ever wanted this war, we do what we have to, because doing nothing would be infinitely worse. I know you never asked for this position, but for what it is worth, I am now beginning to understand why the prophets chose you to lead us. You are exactly the sort of person we need at the head of our armies, and my sword is yours, not because you are Queen, but because you are a honorable warrior who deserves respect." he said with a bow. To Jurai, Alexandria's rank was not what made her his commander. He knew that she had not asked for her title, but he was beginning to suspect that she deserved it anyway.
