Although the High Elves are the descendants of the Upper Elves, Sarayan truly feels that the High Elves during the Night Empire can be said to have done all the bad things, leaving a lot of dark holes for the later generations of High Elves.

The High Elves have inherited many legacies from the upper elves, and the pits they left behind can only be inherited together.

Helplessly, Sarian took out what he had learned in his life, and painstakingly explained to the bears the difference between Quel'Thalas and the Night Empire, sincerely assuring them that the intention of forming an alliance was real and that there was no conspiracy behind it.

There is an old saying in another world, once you are bitten by a snake, you are afraid of the well rope for ten years.

Although Sarren has repeatedly stated that Quel'Thalas has no ill will towards the Grizzly-Throated Bear, some of the clan chiefs are still suspicious of him.

The Bear Monster is not an immortal species, and Grizzly Hills is not in the center of Ancient Kalimdor.

The original collapse of the sky and the earth didn't have much effect on the Grizzly-throated Ursus, and they didn't really feel the collapse of the Night Empire.

But the nearby explosion of Sandala was experienced by many of the ancestors of the grizzly-throated bear monsters.

For a long time after that, the whole of Northrend was permeated with an eerie arcane energy.

Fortunately, the wreckage of Vodahir actively absorbed a lot of xenomorph energy, and finally restored the balance of natural and arcane energy in this land for hundreds of years.

With lessons to come in at hand, Saljan could understand Grizzly-Throated Bear's concerns.

But understanding does not mean agreement.

If Quel'Thalas were to go out with his entire army, he would not necessarily be able to take Zudak.

But a frontal assault will inevitably cause a lot of damage to the High Elves' army, and the High Elves can't afford to die.

If the Bears flanked him, Quel'Thalas's construction of the Crystal Song Forest would be much smoother, and he might be able to gain a foothold before the Dhakale trolls were able to pull out of the two-front battlefield.

As long as the fortifications can be built in advance, Sarayan doesn't believe that the Dakale trolls can easily break through.

Considering the low fertility rate of the High Elves, Quel'Thallas does not have much need for territorial expansion, and a single Crystal Song Forest is enough to fill it for a long time.

In other words, Kael'thas and Sarean have little interest in the land of Zudak, and they do not intend to take the territory of the Dhakale trolls on their own initiative.

However, there is a saying that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop.

Quel'Salas wants to farm behind closed doors, but the Dakale trolls will just watch you develop?

It's okay to think too much.

Trolls are second only to orcs in terms of aggressiveness, and almost all races in the world have clashed or are in conflict with them, except that they are facing different troll clans.

On the planet Azeroth, eating, sleeping, and fighting trolls isn't just a joke.

The hatred between elves and trolls dates back more than 10,000 years, and Azhara made it so easy for the trolls to dissipate the great humiliation.

Once encountering the elven race, no matter which clan's trolls, they will attack like chicken blood, and this is not a problem that can be solved by Quel'Thalas sending diplomatic envoys to negotiate peace.

…… And maybe the diplomatic envoy will end up in the belly of the Dhakale troll.

Destined to make peace with the trolls, Sarean intends to strike first.

Not to mention destroying Dakale, at least to weaken their war potential and ensure that the large-scale construction of the Crystal Song Forest can proceed smoothly.

Grizzly-throated Bears have a significant place in Sarren's plans, and their covenant with them cannot be compromised.

Sarean searched his stomach and tried his best to explain his views to the bears in terms of diplomacy, economy and trade, geopolitics, and the military threat of trolls.

Although the bear monsters may seem a bit silly, they are actually a highly intelligent race.

They all saw Sarjan's unreserved sincerity, and Sarjan's laborious explanations were not all fruitless.

From the fierce opposition at the beginning, to the quarrel with different opinions, and now to the silence that has calmed down after the quarrel.

The change in Grizzly-Throated Bear's attitude was noticeable, and Saljan finally saw hope of a pact.

After a long silence, the red-toothed old shaman, who had been closing his eyes to recuperate, finally opened his cloudy eyes.

The shaman, Pike Redmane, is in the twilight of his life and is in his 70s this year.

He had witnessed the reign of five successive chieftains, and was increasingly exhausted by the intermittent wars with the Dakale trolls.

It wasn't an option to keep fighting like this, and Pike didn't want to fight like he had done before until the populations on both sides could no longer afford to lose.

Pike wants to change this endless cycle and beat the Dakale trolls once and for all, so that they no longer dare to covet Grizzly Hills.

Countless past histories have proven that Grizzly-Throated Bears are not enough on their own, they need allies.

Growing up listening to stories from the Night Elves, Pike fantasized about being able to crush the army of the Dhakale trolls with the help of the Night Elves, the cubs' traditional allies.

However, Pike had never seen a Night Elf until he was in his eighties, and they seemed to be creatures that only existed in legends.

From the moment he saw Sarren's incarnation of Ursock, Pike had an inexplicable sense of apocalypse.

The High Elf who inadvertently learned the incarnation of Ursok may be the Child of the Apocalypse sent by the great god Ursok to save the Grizzly-throated Ursok from the spiral of war and hatred.

Although Pike is the chief shaman of the Red Fang Clan, one of the two major clans in Grizzly Hills, he doesn't count alone, and must be recognized by most of the clan chiefs and shamans.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down from the earliest impulsive opposition and returned to reality, Pike finally spoke up without hurrying.

"I'm in favor of an alliance with Quel'Salas."

"What?!"

A young chieftain with a strong blood immediately slapped the table and stood up.

"Old Pike! Have you forgotten the teachings of your ancestors? The upper elves are not to be trusted! ”

Pike raised a white eyebrow and rolled his eyelids, his eyes staring at the young man who seemed to be unfocused.

"Do the descendants of the upper elves have to be equated with the upper elves?"

"It's like we have different clans, different opinions and different ways of doing things."

"As far as I know, the ancient upper elves were divided into six major cities, and they did not behave in the same way as each other."

"We're only hostile to the upper elves of Shandara, are they really necessarily connected to the high elves of Quel'Thalas?"

"Boom!"

Pike gently clubbed his staff on the ground, "Chief Brightmane, both your father and grandfather died in the battle with the Dakale trolls. ”

"Do you want your sons and grandsons to continue to be involved in endless wars in the future, so that they too die at the hands of trolls, and they may not even be able to keep their corpses?"

"This ......"

A netizen of sand sculpture in another world said something very reasonable.

War is nothing but a continuation of politics.

No one, except for the madman, wants the war to happen on their side.

The reason why the Dhakale trolls have never given up on expanding south is because they think they can defeat the grizzly-throated bear monsters who are also mortals, and they will not be as desperate and powerless as they are when facing the Iron Army.

Dakale's political appeal was to expand his territory and take the Grizzly Hills as his own.

And this is obviously contrary to the political proposition of the Grizzly-throated Bear Monster to garrison the territory, and in the case of the two sides cannot get along, they can only show their strength on the battlefield to speak.

Sarean wanted to beat the Dhakale trolls with two bread clips at once, forcing them to recuperate early into the recovery period.

This strategic objective cannot be achieved by either Quel'Thalas or the Grizzly-Throated Bear alone, and even if it succeeds, it will be unbearable.

Under Pike's unhurried persuasion, the chiefs and shamans, who had long been tired of the war, were finally moved, and their cold and hard attitudes were significantly softened.

Still, some people still can't get over that hurdle in their hearts, and the Redfang and Frostclaw clans who have taken the lead in agreeing to the alliance will need some time to talk to the stubborn people who stand up for themselves.

After reaching an initial alliance agreement, Sarren and Grizzly-Throated Bear exchanged contact information.

Bears are not privileged like the High Elves, and can travel directly across the Dragonbone Wilds to the Crystal Song Forest and Grizzly Hills.

From the normal route, there is only one way to get from Grizzly Hills to the Crystal Song Forest.

The road had to cross the outer layer of Zudak, and the fortress of Daxalon stood in the middle of the road.

Before sending Salam away, Pike's seemingly cloudy eyes twinkled.

"Mr. Deepshadow, if Quel'Thalas wants to maintain a long-term pact with the Grizzly-Throated Bears, as you said, to open up the regular trade routes between them, we must take the Stronghold of Daxalon, which is stained with the blood of the Urspha."

The 438th war is nothing more than a continuation of politics
