The news of the fall of Kazmodan made the Hammer tribe feel threatened by the orc tribe.

Although they were confident that they would defeat any enemy who came at them with the Storm Hammer in their hands, they also knew that the Hammer Dwarves were not much stronger than the Copperbeard Dwarves.

If even the Copperbeard tribe is blocked in the Iron Furnace Fort and can't get out, then if the orc tribe really comes to attack the Eagle's Nest Mountain, I'm afraid the fate of the Brute Hammer tribe will not be much better than the Copperbeard tribe.

As a result, several lords began to gravitate towards joining the Lordaeron Alliance.

But they don't make a hasty decision, and they have to wait for the griffon knights who have gone out to find out the news to come back.

It didn't take too long, and High Lord Furstad explained it to Varian.

Varian understands the Hammer Dwarves' approach, after all, joining the Alliance is not a trivial matter for them, and they certainly can't rely on a few words of their own to make them join without hesitation.

However, the Hammer Dwarves apparently recognized the threat posed by the Horde army, and Varian was confident that the Hammer Dwarves would join the alliance once the news of the fall of Kazmodan was confirmed.

Therefore, Varian stayed in Eagle's Nest Mountain as a guest, waiting for Furstad to make a final decision.

The waiting time was always boring, so Varian, who had nothing to do, volunteered to join the traditional troll hunt of the Hammer Dwarves in their wildbarb.

……

On the path through the woods of Hinterland, Varian and the Stormstorm Guardians, led by the Hammer Dwarf Gothrum, headed southeast of the Eagle's Nest.

Their destination was not far northwest of Zuvasha, the village of the Deadwood Trolls, where a small number of Deadwood Trolls had gathered, according to the Scouts of the Hammer.

Varian and his men did not ride horses, as the tall trees limited their mobility, and riding horses was not as easy as walking.

Instead of flying through the air on his griffon Scarley, Kudran chose to walk with Varian.

As Varian's bodyguard, Winlessa was always by his side.

Winresa loves the place in Hinterland, where the maple trees are similar to those of her hometown, the Yongge Forest.

It was in the Forest of Eternal Song that Wen Lesa was trained as a ranger with her companions: to hide her body, detect the enemy, and attack the enemy......

And in the forest, Wen Lesa can also better exert her combat power.

"It's a beautiful place, isn't it?" Varian sensed Winlessa's emotions and spoke.

Wen Lesa nodded and said, "The maple trees here remind me of the Eternal Song Forest in Quel'Salas, and in a little while, those maple leaves will turn bright red......"

Kudran on the side said as he hurried on his short legs, "Our forest is so beautiful, but unfortunately this beautiful place has been ruined due to the presence of those filthy forest trolls. ”

"These guys are like they have scabies on them, and they make people feel disgusting." Wen Lesa said with deep sympathy.

There are also some Amani trolls around the Eternal Song Forest, who are always hiding at the edge of the forest, spying maliciously into the territory of the High Elves, and occasionally attacking lone elves.

Kudran thought Winlessa's description was accurate, saying, "So I love activities like this, to kill those filthy forest trolls and purify our forests." ”

Perhaps because he didn't want Varian and the others to misunderstand that the Hammer Dwarves were a murderous race, Kudran continued: "You know, those trolls are cannibals, they even eat the trolls themselves, and many of our brothers have been eaten by them. ”

Varian lamented, "What a bunch of savage and evil guys. ”

"Yes, it would be fine if our brother died in battle, but he was eaten by those guys......" Kudran couldn't say any more, and he angrily hammered the trunk of the tree beside him.

The cannibalistic custom of trolls has been practiced for tens of thousands of years, and they still practice this ugly custom today.

Only the Zandalar and Badtooth tribes are a bit special, they don't eat trolls, but other humanoids.

Even the Darkspear tribe only abandoned the practice of cannibalism after joining the new tribe of Thrall.

Winlessa also knew about this custom of the trolls, which is why she hated them.

Although Varian had practiced troll trumpets in his previous life, he would not have a good impression of this cannibalistic race.

And one of the main rhythms of the game in the previous life is to eat, sleep, and fight trolls, and Zurfarak, Atahaka Temple, Zur Ghrab, Zu Aman, Zudak, and so on, these dungeons Varian has played again and again......

Besides, Varian wished that the Hammer Dwarves would be able to kill more forest trolls, and even if they weren't killed now, they would join the tribe when the horde army arrived.

Rather than this, it is better to eliminate them now, and save the tribe by adding new manpower when the time comes.

That's why Varian took the initiative to participate in this troll hunt, and he could also take this opportunity to give his team a real combat exercise.

After Varian and Kudran walked a few kilometers east, Kudran suddenly spoke: "We are about to reach the gathering place of those deadwood trolls, everyone be careful......"

Hinterland has three forest troll clans, the Deadwood Trolls and the Wicked Trolls who make a living from raiding and often clash with the Hammer Dwarves.

The Deadwood Trolls have a territory closer to the Eagle's Nest than the Evil Branch Trolls, and they worship the Loa deity Shadra Erossa, a huge, poisonous mother spider.

Shadra Erosa has many titles among the trolls, it is both the god of spiders, the mother of poison, the silk dancer, and the kiss of death. Shadralo, the nest of the Deadwood Trolls, is named after this Loa deity. (Note: Seka Stone from Zulfarak)

Cruel and despicable, the Deadwood Trolls often attack lone Hammer Dwarves and then cut off their heads and skin them.

In addition to some of the dwarves being eaten, the remaining dwarves were sacrificed by the Deadwood Trolls to their worship of the Loa deity Shadra.

Therefore, the Hammer Dwarves such as Furstad and Kudran hate these deadwood trolls very much, and this time the troll hunting activity organized by Kudran is mainly aimed at the deadwood trolls.

After hearing Kudran's prompt, everyone slowed down and increased their attention.

Winlessa also took the longbow from her back, watching her surroundings warily with her sky-blue eyes.
