Chapter 690 [The Battle of the Valley of Thorns Begins]
Fourth day here.
Tonatiu began to prepare for a war, a war against the new Hakale, in fact, to unify the Gulabash trolls.
He came to the Valley of Thorns, ostensibly to help the dragon take the demonic soul from Deathwing. But in fact, what he wants to do most is one of the main tasks of Wang Cheng's system, to unify the largest number of jungle trolls in the troll world.
According to Zu'an's incomplete statistics, the number of trolls in the entire Valley of Thorns may exceed four million people, at least three million or more people, and there may be about five million people!
That's two or three times more than the Zandalar trolls, who have a population of a million, and almost 10 times more than the desert trolls, who have killed a population of 500,000 people so far. There are many more forest trolls than the High Elves who are pressed and beaten, and there are just as many more than frost trolls.
With such a large population, Tonatiu has been tempting. He had long wanted to promote his influence here, hence the birth of Zuran.
Zuran, now in the mouths of the trolls and all the aliens who know of its existence, is called Zuan.
Zaun was originally composed of hundreds of thousands of stragglers after the defeat of the Gulabash invasion of Stormwind. Tonatiu rescued the men, fooled them here in the name of the god Loa, and then began to promote his religion, and Zu'an slowly took shape.
As of now, it has only been two years. But in just two years, Zaun has gone from being a messy troll gathering place by the sea two years ago to being managed by goblins and Tonatiu believers.
The population of Zaun and the dozen or so troll tribes surrounding it has exceeded 400,000.
Centered around the seaside city of Zaun, there are a dozen medium-sized Gulabash trolls in its vicinity - all of course, all of whom are of Tornatyu religion and subject to Zuan's jurisdiction and control.
Because the main attention of Tonatiu and the sorcerers is not here, in fact, his religion is not promoted much here.
But just like this, in two years, I have been able to gather so many believers. If it were the main development side, the number of believers would probably have exceeded a million long ago!
This shows the huge number of Gulabash trolls!
Of the several Troll Branch Gathering Blocks, the best material output and environment is also Gulabash. The output of the Valley of Thorns can feed so many trolls without farming and just hunting! Aside from the completely unthreatening Zandalara, the Gulabash Trolls have some of the best territory in the troll world.
Now that an opportunity to take it for himself and control the entire Valley of Thorns was in front of him, Tonathiu certainly didn't want to let it go.
It just so happens that the somewhat eerie new hakale is delivered to the door on its own, which gives Tonatiu an excuse to unify the Gulabash trolls.
In the name of the Zuan and Tonatiu religions, he intends to crusade against the new hakale, which has left the Valley of Thorns in chaos, gathering fame and dissidents in the process.
Arguably, there is no better opportunity than this. Therefore, on the fourth day of his arrival, he could not wait to announce to the forces of the entire Valley of Thorns that war was coming.
Zaun immediately entered a state of war, and the trolls mobilized. Other aliens who live and do business in Zu'an can choose to leave temporarily or help in it.
Of course, there is nothing to say about leaving, and you are always welcome to come back in the future. Tonatiu also represented the trolls and promised that "trolls are the firstborn of the world, and we will not forget hatred." But we will not forget the kindness. Those who are not good to us will always be rewarded badly, and our friends will always be rewarded. β
In the eyes of the resourceful merchants, he is a formidable big man - the controller of Zandalara, the largest transit trade island in the Endless Sea, the backer of Zutiu, the only commercial trade port in the Western Continent, the hand-eyed master of the human side, and the master of Zul'an, the valley of thorns.
If you want to do business all over the world, it's never a bad thing to befriend such a person. Didn't you see that the goblins who are the most good at doing business now like to run to his territory?
So his promise worked well, and many of Zaun's non-troll representatives all patted their chests and promised, "We will definitely support you and Zaun!" Defeat the evil Hakalai and return the Valley of Thorns to a sunny day! β
After his order was given.
The trolls of Zaun gathered their armies at a rapid pace, and the organization of believers in the Gulabash trolls, led by Senjin and the Seven Priests, soon gathered an army that was expected to number more than 200,000.
Zandalar and Zutona, for their part, have moved away from the all-in-one mode and don't just let trolls go into battle. But here, the Gulabash troll's definition of an army is still the same as before - if you can run, jump, and get a weapon, even if you are an army, you can participate in the war.
Therefore, Zu'an, with a population of about 400,000, was able to make an army of about 200,000......
Knowing this, Tonatiu was a little dissatisfied. But because they have to face enemies, they are also similar to Gulabash trolls, and there will only be more than they will be less.
With the mentality of training soldiers, Tonatiu finally acquiesced to this mode of all-people warfare, which is no different from that of orcs.
He felt that after the end of this war, although the Gulabash trolls would suffer a lot of losses, they would also be able to make many trolls grow quickly from the war.
The rest of the troll army, if you pick it again, should be able to put together a new army with a large number of people and good combat effectiveness and will.
Zutona's side has already started to expand outward, and the Thorn Valley side must be developed sooner! In the same way with Zandalara, Amani is the next target, and finally Dakale in the Northern Rift!
At night.
Looking at the brightly lit Zaun, and the trolls who excitedly gathered in the lights to prepare for war.
Azara, who hid her beauty under her cloak, taunted: "A rabble! β
She, along with Santis and the team the dragon had invited, all knew what Tonatiu was doing and what he was going to do.
Except for the bronze dragon Chromie, who was a little hesitant about this, the others had no opinion after Tonatiu's explanation.
On the part of Santis and Aysara, Tonatiu says it is a crusade against the evil and spooky New Hakale.
Azara, who didn't care much about the matter, didn't care about what the trolls wanted to do.
Santis, who did not want war, heard that she was going to fight against an evil god and cult believer, and that it was for Azeroth. After she spoke for a while, she expressed her support - the Night Elves learned something about the blood god Haka from Medivan.
Medivan had no interest in the troll business, and he wished that Tonatiu would leave him and not dangle in front of his eyes.
Lunala, like Shantis, learned what Hakale had done with Hakale, the god of blood, and was indignant enough to call her father and her siblings overβand Tonatiu immediately welcomed her.
Chromie was a little hesitant and worried.
But Tonatiu said to her: "We are idle anyway...... And when Deathwing appears, the assembled army can also be used to defeat him! β
Although he expressed great doubts about whether the troll army could injure Deathwing, this reason convinced Chromie.
Idle is idle anyway......
In addition, she also knew everything about what Hakale and the blood god Kaka had done back then, and there was no reason to oppose the war of troll crusade.
So the war really came to the Valley of Thorns.
