Chapter 148: This Way and the Other Side
Hinterland, the priestess Hex, returns to Cynsaro with her warriors, and after discovering that the cage used to hold the trolls of the Evil Tooth Tribe is empty, and the trolls guarding it have disappeared, she angrily asks for a closer inspection.
A day later, her men reported a fatal message to her.
It turned out that the trolls who were guarding were all poisoned to death, and their bodies were hidden in the forests around the city. What's even more terrifying is that the toxin was put in the water source, and when it was discovered, even their current personnel were poisoned.
Unlike the poisons in the guards, these poisons were dispersed by the water, so there were no casualties, but they also made nearly half of the trolls sick.
"Damn the Badtooth Tribe!"
All the evidence at the scene showed that it was poisoned by the Evil Tooth Tribe, and Hex was furious.
But in order to be more cautious, she resisted her anger and asked people to study the toxin.
The results were astonishing, and the poisons turned out to be similar to those of the Zuaman trolls brought by Zujin.
In order to convince the trolls from the outside world that Quel'Thalas has been completely controlled by the High Elves, information about Zuaman's troll rebellion is blocked by the High Elves, so Hex will not suspect distant Zuaman.
Of course, she wouldn't believe that it was Zu Jin's poison.
What's more, during the time that Zujin was at a standstill in Hinterland, some of Zuaman's techniques had already been circulated. According to the reports of his subordinates, the Deadwood Troll had used a similar poison test some time ago.
At this point, Hex was finally convinced that he had the truth.
Tempting the people of the Evil Branch and the Evil Tooth Tribe to meet each other, there was a conflict, and then this contradiction was grafted onto those dwarves
In this series of events, isn't it only the Deadwood Troll who is completely at ease?
"That little tribe dares to trick me!"
Hex banged on his hands to vent her anger, she had been tricked by that weak tribe for so long
Even if she wasn't careful this time, she might have mistaken the poison as the Evil Tooth Tribe and continued to be tricked by the Deadwood Trolls.
"Haha, I'm going to destroy them, then they'll come and sacrifice!"
Furious, Hex decided to wipe out all the deadwood trolls.
As a result, the trolls of Sinsaro went into action again, and in order to obtain the antidote and vent their anger, they began to prepare for an attack on the deadwood trolls with the orders of the corresponding Hex.
The news was immediately learned by the Deadwood Troll.
The whole tribe was immediately frightened, and immediately sent an envoy to intercede.
Then, the messengers were steamed and eaten by the trolls.
Upon hearing this, the Deadwood Trolls found the Badtooth Clan again
――
"It's almost time to call it a day."
The troll was stupider than he thought, and Kael'thas took the bulletin, smiling indifferently.
The whole thing was always in his plan
Mephites looked at Kael'thas with some caution and reassessed him.
Although he didn't know why he was in such a hurry, his disciple seemed to want to make changes to some sensitive things such as rune stones
For this, he needs more power.
And power is built on trust in strength, and Kael'thas understands this, and it is amazing to come up with a countermeasure to prove his strength.
What should not have been able to be proven quickly, he forcibly found the focus from the outside.
Who would have thought of Hinterland?
Even the High Elf Lords, who were bored with waging war, were attracted by his plan, which didn't require much effort on the part of the elves, and agreed to it.
Then, negotiate with the humans and form an alliance with the Brutehammer Dwarves
The disciple seemed to have anticipated all the details, and completed them without a hitch.
What's even more terrifying
He was able to use the trolls of Zuaman to achieve his goals
The whole provocative plan itself may not be spectacular, but it all adds up to what Kael'thas was good to begin with.
[It's really hard to believe that he's still a child]
Mephites looked at Kael'thas who was sitting peacefully in front of him and thought, a little surprised and a little emotional in his heart
Five years ago, did the little highness who moved the people and repel the orcs really exert his abilities?
He wasn't sure
However, Mephites knew one thing:
Kael'thas will certainly be able to succeed in Hinterland
"Those two small tribes will be united, right?"
Mephites asked, smiling.
"Yes."
Sure enough, Kael'thas nodded:
"Deadwood will say that everything is a conspiracy of the Evil Branch Trolls to destroy the other trolls, and even if the Deadwood is destroyed, the Evil Branch Trolls will start a new war under the pretext that the apparent phenomenon of poisoning is the Evil Tooth Tribe"
"And the Evil Tooth Tribe will definitely agree to the alliance of Deadwood."
"If it succeeds, dead wood as weak as them won't, and it will pose too much of a threat to the evil teeth."
His calm voice sounded in the carriage, and there was no mercy in his eyes for the many creatures who died because of him in the distance.
"But how can you be sure they can fight? Or rather, their biggest possibility is a small fight."
Mephites believed Kael'thas estimates, but still had doubts.
According to common sense, if there is a balance between the three trolls, it is unlikely that there will be a large-scale battle
They don't hurt your bones.
"It's not easy for me to poison the Evil Branch Tribe"
Kael'thas smiled, then looked directly at Mephites, and said crisply:
"Besides, I've set up enough games, as long as they fight, it's hard to retreat"
At this moment, it was as if a cold wind was blowing.
Even those as powerful as Mephites couldn't help but shudder.
Indeed, how could Kael'thas, who had already succeeded in provoking wars, not have a plan to let these wars continue
[Fortunately, he is the prince of my clan]
Mephites rejoiced that if Kael'thas was the prince of another hostile race, even the High Elves would not be able to withstand his threat
"Your Highness, it's here."
At this time, the voice of Sylvanas came from outside, and it seemed that they had arrived in a new town.
This is the sixth month of the tour that has been back in Quel'Salas for one year, and Aurelia has also returned for more than two months, and by the third month, the party has followed many High Elves.
These elven commoners, who live materially satisfied, like pilgrims, guardians, or just bored and want to listen to more songs, follow them.
In order to keep their voices from disturbing the research of the two of Kael'thas, Mephiterst intended to put soundproofing magic on the carriage so that no sound could be heard except for the legendary Sylvanas.
"Then I'll go down, Sensei"
Kael'thas bowed his head in reply, then slightly straightened his clothes wrinkled by his sitting posture and walked outside.
"Well, the singing went well"
Mephites nodded.
Then, from outside the open carriage, countless cheers rang out
[Kael'thas has grown to this point]
Do the cheering elves know?
This young prince, who shines on one side, is stirring up darkness in another
