Chapter 702: Woking's Dilemma (2/3)
(Let's watch two shifts today, sleepy sleepy, good night everyone.) οΌ
It's been 24 years since the Dark Gate.
In Theramore in January, the sea breeze brings an icy damp air that makes this port city not as dry as Stratholme.
Theramore has been built for more than two years, and the scale is not bad, equivalent to a relatively large town, such as Andohar, Tarunmere, etc., but compared to the serious cities, such as Lordaeron and Stormwind, it is much smaller, and even worse than Fort Torrent and Stratholme.
But it was such a small city, but it was crammed with almost 80,000 people, only a few people, living near the northern castle in the north, and a few scattered in the northern area of the Dust Swamp.
To the south, it is the world of ogres and black dragons.
In the southern mountains of the Dust Swamp is Onexia's lair.
Although Onexia is dead, there are still many black dragons entrenched here.
For a long time, Salalmore's grain was all imported, and it was transported from all over Lordaeron, and the loss of shipping alone was more than a quarter, plus the consumption of the voyage, and the grain of one gold coin was shipped out of Lordaeron, and when it arrived in Theramore, it could be sold for at least three gold coins, which was too expensive to afford.
Gianna had long planned to grow crops, but the problem was that the dust swamp was not suitable for growing crops, and there were wet swamps everywhere, with swamp lizards, ooze monsters and other creatures entrenched.
Of course, these are nothing, the black dragon is the most terrifying.
There are at least a thousand young dragons and thousands of dragons, entrenched in the southern part of the Dust Swamp, threatening the safety of Theramore.
The most terrifying, of course, is Onexia.
In the battle of the Hammer of Doom, the black dragons and dragonmen of the Dust Swamp lost at least a third, and Onexia was killed by King Varian, and the dragon's head hung on the walls of Stormwind, Gianna finally made up her mind:
Wipe out the black dragons, dragonmen, ogres, and other monsters of the Dust Swamp and ask the druids to help them transform the land with magic and develop agriculture.
Gianna travels extensively, and has a good relationship with Malfurion and Tyrande, but still gets some help, although not much.
When Jiang Zai and Egwen arrived, Gianna had just returned from outside.
"Congratulations, Nicholas, both sons and daughters."
Gianna looked at Jiang Zheng's gaze with a slightly complicated look, but quickly regained her composure, and then saluted Egwen and said, "Teacher, you guys are early, the others haven't arrived yet, the meeting starts tomorrow, let's rest first." β
She quickly took Jiang Zai and the others to a residence.
It's not bad, after all, Jiang Zai and Egwen have special identities, and they live in the best places.
"Gianna."
Jiang Zai suddenly asked, "On the tribe's side, how is the situation now?" I've heard that Thrall has been accepting tens of thousands of orcs from the Eastern Continent one after another? My spy told me that Woking had been to Zandala once? β
"Stable for the time being."
Speaking of the situation, Gianna's face turned straight.
She is no longer the genius female mage she was three years ago, but the Great Lord of Theramore, the leader of one of the separatist sides, almost on an equal footing with the leaders of various countries.
Now she, both in strength and temperament, has changed a lot, the only thing that remains the same is that it is about the reason why Mount Hyjal has fought side by side, she has a good relationship with Thrall, and her perception of orcs ......
Also much better than the average person.
After all, she is a princess who has not experienced orc wars, and a good student who buries her head in an ivory tower.
The bloody battle between the Alliance and the Old Horde back then was more terrible, bloodier, and more protracted than the war between the Scourge Legion not long ago, and it also accumulated more hatred.
She......
It's still too simple.
In the past few years, Gianna has been trying her best to maintain harmony between the alliance and the tribe by virtue of her special identity and the special geographical location of Theramore, and has also received the support of many people, such as Old Ferdin, who has an excellent relationship with the orc "Itreig".
However, it was also opposed by many people, especially her father, Admiral Dai Lin.
After the end of the Northern Expedition, Admiral Dahrin once wanted to lead the fleet of Kurtiras, attack the Echo Islands, and even Orgrimmar, and built a castle called "Tilagad" in the south of Durontal, and has been fighting against the tribe for tat.
However, in the end, it was not achieved under the persuasion of Jiang Zai and Fenna.
Jiang Zai is not as naΓ―ve as Gianna, he knows very well that the hatred between the tribe and the alliance is not so easy to eliminate, he knows very well that this kind of confrontation and hatred will last for at least tens or hundreds of years, or even longer, even if it is pressed now, there will be a bigger war in the future, a battle of life and death.
But, that's later.
He only wanted to preserve the strength of the Alliance and the Horde as much as possible, because there were more terrible wars waiting for them.
Therefore, when Thrall sent people to pick up the remnants of the orcs in the Arathi Heights, Jiang Zheng did not stop him.
However, not stopping does not mean not being guarded.
In fact, some members of the Assassin League have been keeping an eye on Durontar and the Echo Islands.
No disturbance of the tribe could escape his eyes and ears.
"Thrall has accepted more than 50,000 orcs. These orcs were scattered throughout Durontar and the Barrens, and the boar people were driven to the razor swamps and razor heights in the southern part of the Barrens, where it was said that there was an intention to resurrect the boar demigods against the horde. β
Gianna frowned slightly, not knowing what she was thinking, "I don't know if Woking has been to Zandalar or not, but he is having a hard time now...... You may not know that something happened to the Darkspear Clan, and some of the Darkspear trolls left the Echo Islands and lived in Senjin Village. β
50,000 orcs?
All orcs are soldiers, as long as they are not infants, they can take up arms and go to battle, as long as they are adults and not too old to move, they are qualified warriors.
50,000 orcs, at least 20,000 orc warriors, right?
That's not a small amount, and Sal's ability is really strong.
As for the Darkspear Trolls......
Something went wrong?
Jiang Zai raised his eyebrows: "Zara Zayn has rebelled?" β
"You know?"
Gianna glanced at Jiang Zheng with some surprise.
Because she also just got the news, she didn't expect Jiang Zheng, who was far away on another continent, to know about it, which was a little incredible.
This familiar man, now seems, is so strange.
Jiang Zai did not answer.
Zalazane's rebellion seems to have been a little later than the original, probably because Woking and some of the Dark Spear elites participated in the war to break Zurghrab and Zuaman, and the demand was very high, so Zalazane brewed for a longer time.
Zalazane is an amazing troll witch doctor, a dark witch doctor not much worse than the sorcerer Kimdo.
He and Wojin had been very good friends since childhood, but eventually betrayed him, using dark magic to rob other trolls of their free will and force them to obey him.
The Darkspear Trolls were originally a small tribe of just over two thousand people.
And after Zarazane's betrayal, Woking and the others were actually driven out, and it is obvious that there are still self-willed dark spear trolls, which are even fewer than those controlled by Zarazane, and it would be nice to have a thousand.
In other words, although the Darkspear Trolls are part of the Horde, in fact, a random elite army of orcs can wipe out the Darkspear Clan.
Woking's identity is really a little embarrassing.
His current life is indeed not easy.
It's just that in this way, it is unlikely that the Darkspear Troll will participate in the attack on Angela, which is not good.
"Gianna, I know you and Sal have a good relationship, but you should be on guard, you should be on guard. Talk to your father, the naval fleet of Theramore should continue to expand, preferably the entire coast of Durotal, you know what I mean. β
Jiang Zai thought for a moment and got up: "The Great Empire of Zuer, established by trolls in ancient times, once defeated the extremely powerful Yaki Empire with the strength of one race, and the current Angela is only one-third of the Yaji Empire. To deal with the Qila Zerg, the trolls must have a way. I'm going to take a trip to Senjin Village and meet Woking! β
