I have long been a fan of Cro Threadstrong and his vendetta against the nefarious fruit vendor, and always wondered if Blizzard would keep running with it. Now when he says
YOUR OGRE DOESN'T SCARE ME, FRUIT VENDOR! MY ARMY IS ON ITS WAY!it occurred to me that we, and our followers, our garrison, all the supplies and work and forces assembling in Draenor...
We are Cro's army.
I'm fine with that.

Description
HA! The fruit vendor was so cunning, but I, Cro Threadstrong, am even MORE cunning. I have come back into the past to defeat the ogre army before that fruit vendor can turn them against me! Bring me the head of a big, strong ogre from the old slag mines, and I will have crushed the fruit vendor before a single apple has even grown! CAN YOU HEAR ME, FRUIT VENDOR? I WILL HAVE MY VICTORY!
