Volume 5 The Return of the King 280 is intricate
The Barren Lands is the largest land in Kalimdor and has its own unique characteristics, it was not originally called the Barren Lands, the Night Elves say that this land was not originally like this at all, and that their demigod Ragash caused the land to be what it is today when they resisted the invasion of the Burning Legion 10,000 years ago.
This area is very large, even encompassing the main area where the orcs are located now, the land they call Durontar.
The reason why this land is called barren is that it is completely unsuitable for growing crops and crops, the scorching sun is the most characteristic feature of the place, and the sun here seems to be more fierce than anywhere else.
When I first came here, I thought the sun was lovely, at least sunny. But it won't take two days to have a new perspective on this sunshine. It was really scorching, roasting the world as if it was about to melt.
And the temperature difference here is quite large, and it doesn't rain much all year round, so the land here is endlessly dry.
But there can still be a fight for such a piece of land, wild boar people, centaurs, and minotaurs, these three forces have fought and fought for a long time on this land.
For nothing else, although the land is not suitable for farming, it also supports a large number of animals, and the wild boars and centaurs who live by hunting will not give up ownership of this extremely vast land, and the minotaurs, who are half nomadic and half cultivated, need this land because its location is so important that they have to pass through it everywhere they go. Losing ownership of this place means that the living space will be greatly reduced. This kind of deprivation is absolutely not tolerated.
And as the master of the entire continent, it doesn't matter if they are self-proclaimed or not, the Night Elves have always had the idea of healing this land, but there are very few people who have actually done it in the past ten thousand years, after all, there are almost no good places in the east, west, south, and even south of this land.
Regardless of the land and the environment, none of the creatures that live there, especially the animals, have a good stubble. Firas, the forest now occupied by ogres, was abandoned due to its distance from the elves-controlled north, and the buildings there were completely swallowed up by the forest.
But it is precisely because of this that the later world and the later world situation were created. The orcs came here, although it was not easy, but there was no danger to occupy the land that they could occupy and successfully establish the country. He also took the minotaur and the troll under his command and became a vassal of his kingdom.
With the end of the second invasion of demons and the Battle of Mount Hyjal, the continent has returned to its former stable state, but the increase in population and the settlement of foreign races still provoked the original owner of this land.
Again, you can be a slave, but when you want to straighten up, you should be put to death.
Vandal, who has an extremely strong sense of race and territory, will not allow them to multiply and grow, but he himself does not matter, he cannot carry out a comprehensive all-round attack and expulsion of the tribe.
Even if the orcs provoked three or four times in the Gray Valley Forest and destroyed the forest, he did not have enough strength to provoke a full-scale war. Although he would love to.
But now it's different, he has a reason, an absolute reason. That is, the druid's holiest spiritual home, the destruction of the Emerald Dream.
Gianna didn't know what that world was like, she couldn't describe it, she just knew that it was important. And the reason why that world was polluted and destroyed was determined by Vandal to be caused by absorbing the cultivation of druid spells from other races.
If this was the only reason, the Night Elves could have suppressed Vandal's anger internally, but when the druids in the Emerald Dream had mental problems, even those who had opposed the radical Vandal would have other ideas.
As the investigation deepened, the source of the pollution was not found, and the mad druids fled their homeland.
The Night Elves knew about this, and all the druids who entered the Emerald Dream Realm must be able to feel it, but this kind of secret was not only disgraceful, but it was impossible for them not to know the impact and consequences that the tribe might cause to themselves after it was known.
There is never a trivial matter about two races, two camps, two interests.
The Night Elves wanted to minimize the impact, so they sent a lot of manpower to track down the missing druids, but the emperor paid off, they found clues, and the crazy druids ran to the most dangerous place in the barrens.
The most important place in the barren lands, the oasis.
There are several oases of varying sizes. But this place nourishes the surrounding land and nurtures countless lives.
It is precisely because of this that ownership here has become the key to territorial contradictions. The orcs have always wanted to take these oases and control them, but they can't.
First of all, this place has been occupied by centaurs for a very long time, so the centaur tribe entrenched near the oasis is very powerful. The second reason is that it takes a long journey to take this place, these oases are deep in the barren land, and there is no water source along the way to get here, and the logistical pressure of such a march is too great, and such a march is tantamount to suicide. This is also the reason why the orcs have had so few strongholds in the barren land for so many years. It's not that I don't want to take it, but I really can't take it.
But those druids got here and hid.
If they didn't enter the Emerald Dream again, they might never be found, but they entered the Emerald Dream again, and planted the seeds of nightmares in the Emerald Dream, and some monsters appeared in the Emerald Dream.
After being caught, they also revealed their location. Still, the place known as the Sweetwater Oasis is the largest oasis in the Barrens, which means that it is home to the largest tribe of centaurs, and it is said that there are monsters there.
This is the case, the Night Elves want to solve this problem on their own, but they have lost face, and the Night Elves on the tribe side must not be able to inquire. And now the situation is that the Twilight cult that has emerged in the desert of the south is planning a very, very serious conspiracy.
The second joint operation of the Union Tribal forces was for this matter, but now it was in a dilemma. In the eyes of the audience, they may not think too much about this matter, it is nothing more than you kill me, I kill you and so on. But when the situation is in front of us, it is completely different.
Gianna is obviously in the game, and you can feel how embarrassed she is from her words and tone, the Twilight Sect in the southern desert is just stirring up the situation, but their appearance has caused the bugs that were originally sealed in the desert to emerge from the ground again.
10,000 years ago, the son of Vandal Deer Helmet died in the war with these bugs, and after the war ended, these bugs were sealed, and everything was fine, but today, 10,000 years later, this seal has been broken.
But it's not simple, it's just that the bugs come out and kill them, it's nothing more than the war again, but the question is who opened the seal, how to open the seal, not only that, the power behind the opening of the seal is something that the Night Elves have never seen.
And as the war unfolded, this power was finally discovered by those who had a heart, isn't this the power that is entangled in the mad druids?
So it's no longer a matter of simple bugs running out, but a matter of the Night Elves' world being extremely threatened.
Gianna still sees it quite thoroughly, and it seems that she has grown a lot. She didn't tell Varian about it, and Varian probably knew something, but he didn't tell me.
Egwene sat upside down, her eyes full of disappointment. I kind of don't understand why.
"Varian told me to go to the front line." I said to Gianna.
"The war on the front line is not optimistic, the current offensive has no effect at all, and today we will advance twenty kilometers, but at night bugs will emerge from behind the butts of our army." "Not only do these things fly from the sky, they lurk under the sand and outflank and have a serious impact on our military," she said. ”
"Is there nothing the Night Elf can do?"
"Not yet." She said.
"I heard that General Andorov is still blind."
"So it's grim now."
"The Orcs know about the Dark Gate." I say.
She just nodded.
"Didn't you talk to Thrall about it?"
"What do you mean?" Her eyes suddenly became fierce.
"What do you mean by Thrall?"
"I don't know." She said.
"The orcs sneaked ashore from Treasure Bay, and then passed through the Windwind Canyon, and they went to see the Dark Door."
"I know."
"But it's not good for both of us to do this kind of thing at this time."
"I know that too." She said.
"Now only you can persuade the orcs, and your face with the tribal leader is still very large." I say.
"I know what to do, and I don't need you to teach me." She glared at me and said.
"I'm not teaching, I'm reminding."
"I don't need you to remind me." She glanced at me and looked at Egwene. "Do you have any good ideas?"
Egwene shook his head, "I'm not a Guardian anymore. ”
It was a cloudy night, the wind from the sea brought the waves to shore, the hard body of the reef smashed the rushing waves, and Egwen lay quietly on the bed, she seemed to be asleep, breathing gently like a baby.
She's not a guardian anymore, and there's nothing she can do.
I know the Emerald Dream, am I the first to enter there?
No, there should be another person, and the magician of Dalaran should have been there as well. He brought werewolves with him, and the werewolf plague in Gilneth and the Silverpine Forest is his masterpiece.
What about me?
I guess I didn't make any difference.
I was allowed to enter there with the consent of the Green Dragon, and I did no harm or damage to it.
It's just that...... The dragon......
That's not my reason.
Yes, it's his own reason!
So...... Thinking about it this way, the Emerald Dream is polluted...... Is it the dragon's business? And does that dragon still exist? Does the temple that sank under the water still exist?
If this has something to do with the green dragon, then it has something to do with the trolls there, if it's a troll...... So...... Does the tribe know about it?
Suddenly, a place came to my mind, where the tribe had established a stronghold in the Valley of Thorns, and a huge stronghold had been established in the Dark Swamp when the orcs invaded.
Belch...... Hopefully it's not what I thought it was.
But do I have to talk to Varian about this?
No, suddenly I thought about it...... Look again! Those crazy druids should be the key to solving the puzzle. Once you find them, you should be able to find the answer to this question very quickly.
