Chapter 176: Valeera's three-inch incorruptible tongue
Valeera, who has received professional training, is indeed very good at speaking, and in just a few minutes, she can clearly tell her own intentions and the predicament that the other party is facing now.
Sarian also took advantage of these few minutes to obtain a lot of information through the barrage.
At this point in time, the Minotaur ethnic group as a whole is quite united.
Although there is an unstable factor of Margasa Terror Totem, this irascible old lady mainly targets races other than the Minotaurs, and is still good for her own family.
During this period, the Minotaurs had little contact with foreign races, and the reluctance of the ancient allies, the Night Elves, to send reinforcements caused the hostility and resentment of the Magatha.
Because of the Night Elves' refusal to save them, she is even more convinced of her father's early prophecy.
None of the foreigners can be trusted, and they will bring destruction to the Minotaurs.
However, Magassa is not the highest speaker of the Minotaur tribe after all, but the Grand Chief Kane Bloodhoof is.
He forcefully suppressed Magatha's hostility towards Valera and Sarren, intending to ask the origin of the two outspoken young men.
"Quel'Thalas, High Elf...... Haven't heard of it. ”
Kane scratched the mane on his head in confusion, "But judging from your racial characteristics, it should be related to the Night Elves, right?" ”
Valera said approvingly, "That's right, the High Elves and the Night Elves are distant relatives, and we are the descendants of the High Elves who left Kalimdor thousands of years ago. ”
"Oh~"
Speaking of the upper elves, Kane understood it at once.
Bleak Lands and Firas are next door, and in the early years before the Centaurs rose, the Minotaurs sent exploration teams to Firas, and had some contact with Sindra of Eresaras.
"Alright, Upper Elf Descendant."
Kane looked thoughtfully at Salam behind Valeera, "Are you willing to help the Minotaur get rid of the entanglement of the centaurs?" ”
"IMHO, do you really know anything about centaurs? What is the basis for saying such big words? ”
"Take 10,000 steps back and think about it, if your plan really succeeds, what do you want from the Minotaurs?"
'Oh? ’
Sarjan, who had been silent, raised his eyebrows vaguely.
According to the information provided by the barrage, he also thought that Kane Bloodhoof was a typical warrior-type leader, relying on his great strength to take the lead on the battlefield and inspire the courage of his people.
But through these few simple questions, Sarian has changed his ability, and this person is not a simple martial artist.
Under the pressure of the centaurs, the minotaurs could only hold on to this last oasis in the center of the Bleak Lands.
Although they have not yet reached the point of exhaustion, the situation they are facing is already very difficult, and the slightest mistake in walking may lead to the destruction of the race.
Kane didn't dare to bet his hopes of a comeback on two strangers of unknown origin, but the transformation of the flying dragon he saw before made him can't help but feel lucky.
'Could these two have anything to do with dragons?' ’
Valilla's questioning of Kane was not surprising, and she had been prepared for it.
"Haven't you heard? The Second Battle of Quicksand is about to begin, and the Night Elves and High Elves are all actively preparing for battle. ”
"We are part of the advance team of the coalition expedition to Silisus, and our task is to find out the situation along the way before the large army is dispatched, and ensure that the large army can reach Silisus unhindered when it goes out."
"Battle of Quicksand?!"
The Minotaurs had been trapped in the bleak place for a long time, and they were ignorant of the changes in the situation in the outside world, and even the upheaval that had occurred in the nearby Firas not long ago did not reach their ears.
Kane and Magatha, who served as the chief's advisor, glanced at each other, and both saw a look of shock in each other's eyes.
Although not personally involved, the Minotaurs have a relatively detailed record of the great battle that took place thousands of years ago.
The Night Elves suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Quicksand, but it was the Dragons who never intervened in mortal disputes to turn the tide of the battle.
'Battle of the Quicksand, Dragons ......'
Both Kane and Magatha turned their gazes to the silver-haired man behind Valeera.
Valeera's words weren't all bluffs.
The core territory of the Night Elves is located in the north-central part of Kalimdor, and Silisus is far away at the southernmost point of the continent, so this long march does require a planned route in advance.
According to the latest information that Sarren has learned from Malfurion, the Night Elves are considering a choice of routes.
One of the routes was to head south through the Ashen Valley into the Barrens, and then detour through the Thousand Needles and Firas to Silissus. valley
The second route starts from Stonetalon and passes through the Bleak Lands and Firas.
The first route takes a little more time and takes a little more effort to pass through the cliffs of the Thousand Needles Forest, but it is relatively safe along the way.
The second route follows an old classical principle.
Between two points, the straight line is the shortest.
The Bleak Ground is a difficult point to get stuck on the march.
Not to mention the bulky minotaurs, the well-balanced Night Elves can also have a headache in the face of centaurs who come and go like the wind.
Neither Malfurion nor Tyrande wanted to waste time, energy, and resources on centaurs, preferring to go the first route.
But Santis disputed the matter.
The Night Elves have taken over Erezalas.
With the intention of establishing this ancient city as an important stronghold of the Night Elves in the southern part of the continent, the trade routes between Eresaras and the north need to be considered in advance.
If you are starting from the eastern part of the Ash Valley, it is just right to take the Barren Land and Thousand Needles Stone Forest route.
But what if the caravan was from the Black Sea?
Rocktalon Mountain and the Bleak Lands line were the best routes.
Santis hopes to take advantage of this expedition to completely open up the bleak place.
On the one hand, it can ensure that the Night Elves can connect the trade routes between the north and the south, and on the other hand, it can also extend a helping hand to the ancient allies of the Minotaurs, so as to continue the friendship between the two sides.
Malfurion was a little intrigued by Santis' well-founded proposal, but Tyrande insisted that the Night Elves should not meddle in the survival of the fittest between the Minotaur and the Centaurs, it was a rule of nature.
The two supreme leaders disagreed, and Malfurion, who had a softer personality, did not want to quarrel with his lover.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Great Druid will most likely respect Tyrande's choice in the end.
But Santis didn't want to give up the Minotaur as a good ally because of some bullshit survival of the fittest rules.
She privately commissioned Salian and Valeera to get in touch with the Minotaur first.
If Sarren and Valilla can do something in the Bleak Lands and make the Night Elf higher-ups see an opportunity worth investing in, Santis will have a better chance of convincing Tyrande to change his mind.
There are very few people in this world who can change Tyrande's stubborn mind, and Shantis, who is Tyrande's adopted daughter, happens to be one of them.
"Humph!"
Magassa scoffed at Valeera's flatbread, "We've asked the Night Elves for help many times before, but each time to no avail, so why do you think you can convince them to change their minds?" ”
Valera shrugged mischievously, "Because we have someone behind us who can talk directly to the Night Elves at a high level." ”
"The Great War is coming, and the Night Elves don't want to waste time on the march, so you must show them the value of the Minotaurs first."
"Eresaras has been taken over by the Night Elves, and sooner or later they will set their sights on the desolate places that block the semi-center if they want to open up a trade route connecting the north and the south."
Magassa roared and interjected, "It's Masanje!" ”
"Okay~Masanjee."
Valilla continued disapprerovingly, "If this land can be taken at a small cost, some of the big names in the Night Elves don't mind committing some of their forces to help the Minotaurs. ”
"The problem is ......"
Valera looked at Kane, whose face was sinking like water, and a meaningful smile appeared on her face.
"Is the current situation in the Bleak Lands worth the Night Elves' energy?"
"You!"
Kane raised his hand to stop Magatha, who was trying to burst out: "Don't be impulsive, stand down!" ”
Kane took a deep look at Valeera, who could speak well, "I'll admit that the prospect you portrayed moved my heart, but how do you prove that your words are true?" ”
"I can prove it."
Saljan finally stepped out from behind Valeera and spread out his left hand, in the center of which lay a verdant leaf full of life force.
"I had a conversation with Remulos, the son of Cenarius, before I left."
"You don't believe that the Night Elves, who are always reluctant to send reinforcements, must have some trust in the heir of the forest demigod Cenarius, right?"
