Chapter 479: Atypical Troll Chieftain
Woking was the same age as the first Grand Chief of the New Tribe, Thrall.
In the future of the original history, the two will become close friends, giving everything for the development of the new tribe.
Sarean had not intervened in the affairs of the Durotan family, and Thrall was probably adopted by Edras Blackmore, who ruled Tunhold Castle, as in the original history, and taught him the three views of mankind, strategic thinking, and combat skills.
Thrall was born in the Dark Gate for 1 year, and should be only about 10 years old now.
Salaen didn't know much about the trolls' upbringing, but judging by Woking's immature side, the child was at most 12 or 3 years old, far from adulthood.
Strictly speaking, elves and trolls share the same origin.
But trolls have not received the blessings of the Well of Eternity and are not immortals.
With the exception of special individuals who have made a pact with the kings like the kings of Zandalara, Loa, trolls usually do not live longer than 200 years.
Senkin is only in his 40s this year, and he is at the peak of his life.
In the original history, the Darkspear clan migrated to an overseas island and was invaded by the fishmen and the Naga, and Senjin was ambushed by mistake and died young, and the young Wojin had to be ordered to succeed him as the new leader of the clan.
The three of Sarean made a move this time to change the future development of the Dark Spear Clan.
Instead of being taken captive by the Skull Clan, Senjin did not go abroad in frustration, he planned to stay in his hometown of Thorn Valley to continue the struggle and open up a new home for his clansmen.
The fierce battle zone in the northern part of the jungle is ironclad, it is a stage for the bigwigs to perform, and it is not the turn of small clans like Dark Spear to intervene.
Continuing south around the Gulabash Arena, Senkin chose a ruin called Jubwal as his new home.
This was a decision made by Senkin after exchanging information with Sarren, and it was a last resort in a compromise.
Compared to the cape area further south, Jubwal is closer to the fierce battle zone in the northern part of the jungle, which seems more dangerous.
After annexing and expelling many small and medium-sized clans, the main forces of Split, Blood, and Gulabash were busy fighting each other, and had no spare strength to continue south.
Jubwal's location may seem like a stretch, but it's actually the safest place to be.
If you continue south, you will enter the contested area of the Blackwater Pirates and the Bloodsail Pirates, which are also full of dangers, and if you are not careful, you will be caught up in the fire of the two major pirate groups.
Salaan learned of Cheng Bo's whereabouts from Woking, and the guy went to Treasure Bay, the southernmost city in the Valley of Thorns.
During his journey south with the Darkspear Clan, Salian casually instructed Senjin based on the information he knew, and Senjin settled in Jubwal.
The Cape of Thorn Valley area is home to a number of small clans of jungle trolls, who are forced by the Blackwater Pirates, the Bloodsail Pirates, and the Naga of the Seaside, and these small clans are very difficult to survive.
Although Senjin was born into a small clan called Darkspear, he had ambitions since he was a child, dreaming of developing the Darkspear Clan into a large clan like the Blood Crown and the Skull, and gaining a foothold in the rainforest of Thorn Valley, where all parties are mixed.
Unlike veteran clan leaders who lacked vision and knew nothing about the state of the world, Senkin had the privilege of being chosen by the representatives of the Gulabash clan at a young age to study with several other children on behalf of the jungle trolls in Zandalara's capital, Dasaro.
This is a rule made by Zandallar, the suzerainty of all trolls, and in this way Zandalar hopes to inspire the Jungle Trolls, Forest Trolls, and Frost Trolls to learn from Zandalara's civilization and prosperity, and to abolish those obscurantist customs.
For example, cannibalism.
Because of Queen Aishara's humiliation at the beginning, Zandalar has a deep enmity with the upper elves, but there is one thing to say, the development of their civilization does have merit.
If it weren't for the Great Killer of the Well of Eternity, the Night Empire might not have been able to stabilize the Troll Empire.
During his time studying in Dasaro, Senkin, who had been trapped in the Valley of Thorns since he was a child, saw the wider world, and eagerly absorbed the advanced ideas and knowledge of the Zandalar clan.
After returning to the Darkspear Clan and inheriting the chieftain from his father, who died in battle, Senjin immediately announced the abolition of the outdated custom of cannibalism, despite the strong opposition of the witch doctors and clan elders, and carried out drastic reforms within the Darkspear Clan.
Senjin has been in power for more than a decade, and under his management, the Darkspear Clan has long since eliminated intelligent beings from their diets.
This is something that no big clan, including the Blood Peak and the Skull Split, can do.
Thinking about it from another angle, it is precisely because of the small population of the Dark Spear Clan that Senjin's reform measures can be banned.
Now that the Darkspear Clan is powerless to compete with the three major clans of the Jungle Trolls, Senjin has made up his mind to keep a low profile.
After Jubvar gained a foothold, he planned to gradually merge the small clans that were struggling to survive in the Cape of Thorn Valley region into the Dark Spear, and take advantage of the bloody blows of the bigwigs to quietly strengthen himself.
Sarayen is intrigued by Senkin's vision and big-picture perspectives that are different from those of other savage trolls
In the process of going south, the three members of the team were chatting with Senjin from all over the world, and little Woking was also listening on the side, taking this opportunity to increase his knowledge.
Sarjan has a straightforward temper and is not shy about talking about forest trolls and frost trolls, and bluntly tells the Senkin father and son about the current situation of Amani and Dakale.
Despite being trolls, the Forest, Jungle, and Frost Trolls are not closely related.
After all, even jungle trolls break each other's heads internally.
Except for Zandalara, who has strong confidence and a heart for the world, the vast majority of troll clans don't have the energy to pay attention to those distant relatives who can't be beaten, and it's good that they can survive.
The decline of Amani, the forest troll suzerain's clan, has given Senjin some inspiration.
Today, the forest trolls are as strong and weak as the jungle trolls.
Although Gulabash is still in charge of the capital city of Zurghrab, anyone with a discerning eye can see that their strength is rapidly declining.
It was precisely because of this that the two powerful clans, Skull Splitting and Blood Peak, dared to openly challenge the authority of Gulabash.
Under the sowing of discord by the sorcerer Jindu, the blood top and the skull cranial fought each other to the point of bloodshed, which bought some time for the Gulabash to reorganize the armament war.
Even so, Senkin is still not optimistic about Gulabash.
Once a truce is agreed upon between the Blooddoes and the Skull, it is likely that the two will unite to attack Zurgrabb.
The Gulabash clan, who had prepared in advance, was sure to win against one of them, but if both were combined...... It can only be said that there is more luck than luck.
Sarena was impressed by Senkin's foresight, and in fact, the situation in the Valley of Thorns in the original history had indeed developed like this.
Under the combined attack of the Blood Dome and the Skull, the fortified Gulabash was still under tremendous pressure, and had no choice but to turn to the legendary evil god of the troll civilization, Haka the Soul Reacher.
Haka was also a Loa deity, but the Reaver was more brutal than the more gentle animal gods, and would often sacrifice their own priests and people as blood sacrifices.
Because of this, Haka also received another awesome title, the God of Blood.
The title Blood God did not originally belong to Haka, it came from the ancient troll civilization and was a taboo and ominous title.
Sarean wasn't sure if the situation in the Valley of Thorns would continue to evolve as it had been in the past, and the rise of the Darkspear Clan might change the future of the tropical jungle.
But that's not about the three of them for the time being.
After forming a good relationship with the Darkspear Clan, the three of them bid farewell to Senkin, the atypical troll chieftain, and continued in the direction of Treasure Bay.
Booty Cove is a trading port built by the Blackwater pirates at the southern end of the Valley of Thorns, and is also the headquarters of the Blackwater pirates.
A city founded by pirates may sound dangerous, but this port city is actually quite bustling.
In order to ensure the smooth flow of trade routes, the Blackwater Pirates forbade large-scale armed fights of any race and any force within the Treasure Bay, and violators will inevitably be met with a strong counterattack from the Blackwater Pirates.
Maintained by the Blackwater pirates, Treasure Bay has become a haven of refuge for many outlaw fanatics.
The Eastern Kingdoms will transport all kinds of shady goods to Treasure Bay to sell the stolen goods, and no one will care about the origin of the goods, and the black market here is more prosperous than Sarean expected.
"Huh~ There are quite a lot of people."
"Bang!"
Knocking out a gnome thief trying to reach into his wallet, Salian stood in front of the railing of the second-floor entrance to Booty Bay and looked out over the port city.
Valera squinted as the dwarf thief was dragged away by the City Watch guards in fancy costumes, her piercing gaze habitually scanning the hidden corners of the city.
"I hope Cheng Bo is still in this city, I don't want to chase all the way to Kalimdor."
