Chapter 494: Zandalara: I'm Free!
In the memories of netizens in another world, Azeroth is expanding little by little.
In the early versions of the game, there were only two continents in the whole of Azeroth: Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms.
What Northrend, Kurtilas, Zandalara, Broken Isles, and Pandaria were all added little by little in later updated versions.
Some sand sculpture netizens joked that the world known to Salian today may still be incomplete.
Kurtilas, the Broken Isles, and Zandalar are all relatively close to the Eastern Kingdoms, and there may be some hidden islands between Kalimdor and the Maelstrom.
Salian himself is not sure about this.
There are no satellites in Azeroth's space orbit that netizens from Earth say, and it is impossible to accurately scan the entire planet's landscape.
Ulduarne is said to have stored a real-time map of Azeroth's planets, but at least for now, Saray is out of sight.
Taking a step back, even if it were to scan the planet's surface, there was no 100% guarantee that there would only be so many areas in Azeroth.
You know, the underworld and below the surface of the water are unscannable, and the Nashatar that Aishara now rules is located in a trench thousands of meters below the surface.
Egwen, the former guardian of Tirisfa, can cast a spell to sink the tomb of Sargeras to the bottom of the sea, and who can guarantee that Azhara can't lift the entire Nashatar from the bottom of the sea?
On the way south to Pandaria, considering the historical conflict between the pandaren and the Zandalar trolls, Sarian deliberately sent Kamiko around the outside of the maelstrom to avoid the location of the Zandalar Islands.
The Zendalar Empire was once allied with the Mogu Empire, which was sitting on Pandaria, and the Pandaren were originally only slaves of the Moor, but after the death of Thor, they rose up and cooperated with the other races of Pandaria to free themselves from the enslavement of the weakened Moguls.
After the pandaren came to power, the Zandalar trolls also invaded Pandalia in an attempt to encroach on territory.
The Pandaren's newly established Knights of the Clouds played an important role in the war to drive out the invaders.
Eventually, Zandala, who had the ambition to expand his territory, was expelled from Pandalia by the Pandaren.
Until the Burning Legion invaded, the ancient Kalim was shattered, and Zandalar was unable to invade the rich land again.
Before the Battle of the Ancients began, Shao Hao, the last emperor of the Pandaren, turned into a mist and completely shrouded Pandaria.
In the following 10,000 years, except for Liu Lang and other pandaren adventurers who traveled back and forth to their hometown with the help of Shenzhenzi, no one could find any trace of Pandaria.
Ten thousand years have passed, and after losing the suppression of the Night Empire, Zandalar has long since recovered.
The only thing that worries them is the Nazmir swamps south of Zudasa, the aggressive blood trolls.
A few years ago, in order to save Inas, Salian once went to the Zendara Islands to make a big fuss.
Due to the changes caused by Sarjan's actions, Zandalar launched a general assault on the Blood Trolls many years in advance.
After years of hard work, Zandalar has taken a lot of losses, but he has managed to deal a major blow to the Blood Trolls as they weaken.
Blood trolls are unlikely to recover for at least a generation.
With that out of his mind, Zandalar can intervene more often in the situation in Azeroth.
After a period of recuperation, King Rastaha adjusted his foreign strategy, trying to unite the three major empires of trolls on the go.
Unfortunately, Zandalar had spent a lot of time fighting the blood trolls, and by the time they turned their attention back to the outside world, the Amani Empire had fallen apart and had no way to recover.
There are only two or three kittens left in the suzerain's clan, Amani, who are living in the moss troll's residence, and they are useless.
After the fall of Amani, there is no doubt that the most powerful clan of the forest trolls today is the Evil Branch Clan, which has taken over most of the Hinterland.
After the death of Solas Tolbaine, the meritorious king of the kingdom of Stormgard, the newly inaugurated Garin Tolbain is an out-and-out straw bale, who only knows how to spend all day drinking, and does not touch the slightest state affairs.
The Deadwood Trolls roaming the Arathi Heights saw the opportunity to sit down quietly, and after several years of secret development, they had saved up a lot of money.
The High Elves and the forest trolls have a feud that will never be reconciled.
Although the Amani clan has collapsed, the other forest troll clans still exist.
The thieves of Backlight Blade focus on the Rotten Moss, Evil Branch, and Deadwood Clan.
The Evil Branch Clan is pinned down by the Hammer Dwarves who are also in Hinterland, and the Rotten Moss Clan is overwhelmed by Lordaeron, who still retains the afterglow of the setting sun.
While Solas was still in power, Stormgard maintained good trade relations with Quel'Thalas.
After Garin ascended to the throne, the new king of Quel'Salas, Kael'thas, noticed the rise of the Deadwood Trolls and sent letters to Garin Torbairn several times, alerting him to the trolls' movements.
Unfortunately, straw bales are just straw bales after all.
Garin ostensibly thanked Kael'thas for his information, but did not make any real moves, and continued to hide in Fort Rapids and enjoy himself.
Under the secret conspiracy of the emissaries sent by Zandalara, the Deadwood Trolls, who are neighbors to each other, have communicated with the Evil Branch Clan for the past year, and seem to have the intention of forming an alliance.
This bad sign alerted Quel'Thalas, and Kael'thas is actively contacting the Hammer Dwarf and Dalaran to deal with the matter.
At the same time, the Dhakale trolls, who were far away in Northrend, were also connected to the messengers of Zandalara.
When Salian went to the Temple of Dragon's Sleep to ask for help, he took the time to learn about the latest battle situation on the front line.
After a long period of attack, the Dakale trolls slowed down the pace of their attacks, and recently they have been secretly planning something.
Sylvanas, the Ranger Overseer on the front line of the North, has a bad feeling that the rain is coming.
The Dhakale trolls still had a lot of strength to spare, and they shouldn't have backed down at this time.
Something is going to be wrong, and recently Backlight Blade has stepped up its infiltration of Zudak in an attempt to find out what the Dakale trolls are up to.
Zandalara's influence is not omnipotent, and they have been deflated on the side of the Gulabash Empire.
The three clans of Skull, Bloodtop, and Gulabash all ignored the mediation of the Zandalar envoy and set off a bloody storm in the northern part of the Valley of Thorns.
After rescuing the Darkspear trolls led by Senkin, Saljan took advantage of the Backlight Blade communication channel in Valeera's possession to establish contact with the atypical group of jungle trolls.
The Darkspear Clan was still very weak, and was completely unnoticed by Zandalara.
On the contrary, Senkin was well aware of the activities of the Zandalar emissaries in the Valley of Thorns.
Having received an early education from the Zandalar clan, Senkin was well aware of Zandalara's style, and he saw through Zandalara's attempt to take control of the three troll empires himself.
If the Gulabash Empire were to be ruled by the more visionary Senkin, he wouldn't mind teaming up with Zandalar to bolster the power of the jungle trolls.
It's a pity that today's Senjin people are so soft-spoken that they can't attract the attention of the Zandalar envoy at all.
Instead of reaching out to the Zandalar Emissary on his own initiative, Senkin continued to bury his head in development, quietly wooing the small jungle troll clans who were struggling to survive at the Cape of Thorn Valley.
Word has come from Dakale, Amani, Gulabash, and even the Minotaurs in the South Sea Harbor of Tanalis that the Sandfury Trolls seem to have been on a different movement lately.
Zandalar is active throughout Azeroth, and it is impossible for Sarean not to be vigilant against them.
Thankfully, Zendalar has a "good neighbor" who keeps an eye on them at all times.
With the Admiralty of Kul Tiras under tight guards, Zandalara's Golden Fleet could not be unscrupulous.
Annoyed by the Rastaha Lord, the Golden Fleet of Zandalar and the Kultiras Navy have recently engaged in a number of skirmishes at sea, but have never been able to break through the island chain blockaded by Kultiras.
[Dalin: In a simple naval battle, Kurtilas has never been afraid of anyone. 】
[It is true that as long as Zandala does not make a large-scale sortie of Loa, it is unlikely that they will win Kurtilas at sea. 】
[It's useless to dispatch, and there are few Loari enshrined by Zandalar who are good at naval warfare. 】
[Quel'Thalas has also been paying attention to Zandalra's latest movements, and once they find signs of using Loa, with the relationship between Quel'Thalas and Kurtiras, the Red Dragon Knight can be sent to help in minutes.] 】
[Zandalara: The Blood Troll is down!] I'm free! 】
[Quel'Thalas: No, you don't. 】
