608. Unplanned plans
There are still ten days left before the official meeting...... If Du Teng was asked to wait here for ten days like this, he would definitely not be willing to wait. On Kul Tiras's side, although he didn't pay much attention to it, since he had left a secret hand, he must have died by now.
With Tamred's ability, it shouldn't be difficult to fully master Kurtilas, provided that Gianna doesn't suddenly return home.
I believe that it will not be, Gianna should still be in the stage of having an affair with Sal now, and I believe that she will not have time to take time to return to China. What's more, when she and their father left, they had already taken all of Kurtilas' most elite troops with them, leaving behind some of the old, weak, sick and disabled.
So Gianna, there should be no reason to return to China for the time being, she won't even pay much attention to her home country, so Tamred is still safe overall.
As long as there are no external forces to obstruct him, it is only a matter of time before Tanred takes control of Kurtiras. Even other local forces are unlikely to overthrow his rule.
So during this time, Du Teng was not suitable to appear there. Because once he appears, it will give people the illusion that Gilneth wants to take the opportunity to support the puppet and then annex the whole of Kul Tiras, which is prone to some unexpected changes, which Duten does not want to see.
So he was now suddenly nowhere to go, and ten days was not a short time, but it was not too long, and it was not enough to support him on a long-distance voyage.
And just stay here all the time? It's not something he's willing to do, it's too boring after all.
Du Teng frowned and thought about it, and suddenly realized that he could act alone, and he didn't necessarily have to take the fleet with him.
And the fleet must not leave, otherwise the panda people will think - oh, you are playing with us, saying that you want to form an alliance, but now you can leave casually, and the matter of the alliance is so careless, how dare we form an alliance with you?
Such an idea is definitely not untargeted, so the fleet cannot move.
The fleet can't move, but Du Teng doesn't want to stay here stupidly for ten days, so there is only one final choice...... That is, he left alone.
It's time to travel.
But even if you travel, you can't go to too many places in ten days, especially Pandaria is quite far away from the other two continents, and it is difficult to transfer there at once even if you use phantom transfiguration.
Closer proximity, then, is the only option.
But where are the places closer to Pandaria?
Timeless Island? Isle of Thor?
The Eternal Isle is also the territory of the Panda People, and since they don't agree with him running around the world before the official alliance, he still has to respect the other party's intentions.
What about Thor Island? At this time, maybe Zandalar has already started to resurrect Thor, as well as those Mogu clans on the island, although Du Teng can help solve the trouble there, but if it is solved now, will the panda people still appreciate it?
So all of these two options were passed.
So what is left...... Duten could only look due north.
If he's not mistaken, that's where Kozan Island is!
And the inhabitants of the island, if nothing else, should become part of the tribe in the future.
That's right, they are goblins with short stature, green skin, big ears, cunning and treacherous, money-hungry, born merchants!
Speaking of this goblin, there used to be a lot of talk about their identity, but later the official gave a certain affirmation, and the identity of the goblin was completely determined, including the historical evolution of their race.
It was about the time after the collapse of the earth, Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdom appeared, and the newly formed ocean between the two continents was densely covered with islands due to the explosion.
The Zandalar trolls set out to explore, and in the process, discovered Kozan, inhabited by goblins. These dwarf, green-skinned creatures, despite their intelligence, have not been able to be civilized.
At first, the two races kept their distance from each other. Zandala traveled to Kozan in search of a mineral called Kaya Ore, which, if absorbed after vaporization, would cause a series of effects such as hallucinations, sensory enhancements, and increased intelligence.
The trolls revere these minerals as supreme treasures and make them a sacred part of their rituals and rituals.
However, the production of this ore in Azeroth is not large, and even during the countless years that the trolls ruled all of Azeroth, they only found a few deposits, and the production was very small.
Kaya ore is definitely a very scarce item for the trolls of Zandalara.
So when they found traces of Kaya ore on Kozan Island, they didn't hesitate to take the place.
For centuries, they have mined from the vast veins of Kaya on the island's surface, sometimes employing goblins to do things on their behalf, and these little creatures are loved even though they are paid nothing more than shiny trinkets.
However, when the trolls discovered the Kaya deposits buried deep underground, those things were no longer what they used to be—the deposits were far more than Zandalar needed. Rather than digging them up themselves, the trolls chose a different approach: they enslaved the goblins and forced them to mine them in harsh conditions. For thousands of years, goblins have lived like cattle under the oppression of trolls, but they are powerless to resist.
Who would have thought that in the end, it was the Kaya ore they had dug day and night that saved the goblins.
The pit is always covered with a large amount of Kaya mineral dust, and the goblins who have been inhaling this dust for many years have been able to awaken their wisdom...... As well as cunning. They then began to plot to overthrow the numerous troll slave owners, pouring everything they had at hand to craft traps, explosives, and other never-before-seen weapons.
And when the local elves swarmed out of the mines, armed with equipment that even Zandalara's skills could not match, the many troll foremen outside were caught off guard. The revolution went on to shatter the trolls' rule in Kozan, leaving Zandalar mining in ruins, leaving the whole of Kozan with untold devastation.
The surviving Zandalar trolls fled, but the goblins celebrated their newfound freedom by fighting indiscriminately to fill the power vacuum. In the midst of the chaos, countless factions and vassals have sprung up, and the most powerful of these groups have been called chaebols.
However, the battle did not determine the final winner, and the chaebols also reached a ceasefire agreement with each other with considerable difficulty.
But these factional conflicts of the goblins cannot really come to an end in any way. For decades, however, they have mostly focused their rivalry with each other in the economic world, and many of the plutocracy have turned to trading in order to support themselves and use the profits to accumulate greater wealth and power.
In fact, in ancient times, the guardian Mimilon discovered the existence of Kaya ore and experimented with it on various races, which greatly improved their intelligence. Some of these experiments were conducted by a group of dwarf, primitive races in the woodlands around Oldua, who were transformed by the Kaya ore into highly intelligent, industrious races, goblins.
But the destruction caused by the collapse of the earth has eradicated the connection between the goblins and the Kaya ore. After a few generations, their intellect vanished, and the goblins who later took refuge on the island of Kozan had long forgotten how important Kaya ore was to their people in the past.
But now that they have regained their wisdom, they owe it to the trolls of Zandallar who have brought the goblins back to the intelligent race of Azeroth.
Now that Kozan has been liberated, the goblins have also lived a relatively free life, although the life of the goblins at the bottom is still very difficult, but what does that have to do with Duten?
He values not only the combat power of the goblins, but also the trade methods of the goblins, the technology of the goblins, and the minds of the goblins, all of which he needs.
Rather than having them rejoin the Horde in the future, after Deathwing broke the seal, it would be better to have them join their alliance in the first place.
There is actually a relationship about goblins joining the tribe.
When Thrall went to Kalimdor with the eastern kingdom that the orcs had left, he had encountered a disaster and killed a lot of people, not to mention that even this world Sa almost couldn't carry it.
Luckily, they met the goblins. For these big men of the same color as themselves, there is no doubt that the goblins want to bring them under their rule. But when they found out that these big men of the same skin color were used for great power, the goblins quickly gave up on their ideas.
Instead of enslaving these big men like their own people, they began to help them in the hope of leaving a favor.
I have to say that this is very goblins, they are good at business, and they never do and are not willing to do things that are not beneficial.
As it turned out, they were right, and when the tribe was first founded, the goblins refused Thrall's invitation. But when Deathwing returns to Earth, the island of Kozan is in danger, and the goblins have to leave their homeland and move their clan.
At this time, the favor left behind back then has a place to use.
The tribe embraced the down-and-out goblins, and the goblin technology and brains became a very important addition to the tribe that was generally reckless.
In the future, during the years when the brain-dead roar ruled the tribe, how much of the good scientific and technological power displayed by the tribe was the credit of the goblins, which no one could say. But what is certain is that without the goblins, the tribe's technology would never have reached that level.
Du Teng hadn't thought about these things very carefully before, but now that he thinks about it, why should he leave them to the tribe?
They already have wild boar people, and their strength is no longer as bad as the tribe they once were. You must know that with the fertility of the wild boar people, it can become one of the most important components of the future tribal army.
The Boar People have not been able to grow stronger, partly because they have lost their protection, and after the death of Agamagan in battle, the race has been completely reduced to a second-rate race. And the barren land is really not a suitable land for farming, which is why the boar people attack the minotaurs so frequently.
Because the minotaur can farm, the grain yield is high, and he can eat a full stomach.
Now it's no problem, joining the tribe, the wild boar people are equivalent to having a lot of food provided by the minotaurs, and what kind of fertility the wild boar people can burst out under the condition of worrying about food and clothing, it is really exciting.
Speaking of which, I have to say that the alliance and the tribe are really quite equal in all attributes.
There are orcs in the tribe and humans in the alliance, all of which belong to races with strong comprehensive ability. In the case of melee kings, the alliance has dwarves and tribes and minotaurs. In terms of farming ability, the alliance has elven tribes and minotaurs. When it comes to magical abilities, the Alliance has gnomes, and the tribes have trolls.
The only difference today is that the Alliance also has high-tech gnomes, while the Horde is a boar people with increased superfertility.
And look at the alliance that Du Teng is about to create, there are panda people in farming, high elves in magic, humans in Gilneth in comprehensive strength, dwarves in Eagle's Nest Mountain in land battles, and even Gilneth in naval battles. If you can get your hands on the goblins, you can even solve the problem of high technology.
In this way, the newly established third party will be stronger than either the Alliance and the Horde!
Of course, only if you can get these goblins on board.
This is no simple task.
Goblins are known to be a very money-loving race, as evidenced by their oft-repeated phrase "Time is money, my friend".
They don't care about the alliance or the tribe, and they certainly don't care if there will be a third party, they only care about whether they can make money and whether they can make money. Even if it is half a copper coin, they will be more baht, and they love money even more than their own lives.
It wasn't until after the Cataclysm that goblins joined the horde. And it's not all goblins, it's just a consortium of goblins. More goblins are still neutral, running around the world.
This is similar to that of the panda people.
Duten didn't care, and he never fantasized about bringing the entire goblin under his rule, he just needed the support of one of them. Everything was just like what he was going to do here at the panda people, and as for whether the goblins would join the tribe in the future, he didn't care, and he didn't bother to think about it.
It was enough for him to achieve his goal.
Thinking so, he recognized the direction, and after explaining a few words to his adjutant, Du Teng disappeared from the spot in a flash, and skipped towards the north at a speed that was almost instantaneous.
