The port of Zuaman is only a tentative name, and the High Elves will never be able to bear the name given to them by the trolls.

This time he went to the port to clean up discipline, and Kael'thas also gave Salian a task.

Decide on a new name for the port as early as possible, so that the locals don't get used to being called Zu Aman.

Since the Red Dragon Knights were relocated to Silvermoon City, Valera has sent a number of arcane golems to the ruins of Zuaman to completely destroy the ancient troll city.

The Amani clan was nominally wiped out, and all those who were still alive were thrown into the mines to do hard work.

But Amani is only the most prominent suzerain-master clan of forest trolls, and powerful forest troll clans such as Evil Branch and Deadwood are still alive and well.

The High Elves and the Forest Trolls are rivals mainly from the Amani clan.

Now that Amani is gone, the anger of the Quel'Salas higher-ups, led by Kael'thas, against the forest trolls has subsided.

This is one of the reasons why Kael'thas is willing to make a deal with the Rotten Moss Trolls.

Sarean did not dare to let his guard down against the other clans of the forest trolls.

The Rotten Moss Trolls are not very hostile to the High Elves, mainly because they are closer to Lordaeron and have been oppressed by the Kingdom of Lordaeron for many years, but have no direct conflict of interest with the High Elves.

Sarren learned about the Evil Branch Clan and the Deadwood Clan from the barrage.

The Deadwood Clan lives primarily in the Arathi Highlands, and Solas has been suppressed to the death during his reign, and it was only after Garin, the straw-bale father-killer, came to power that the Deadwood Trolls saw hope for a resurgence.

As long as Danas can be brought back from Dranora, it will not be difficult to re-suppress the Deadwood Trolls with the ability of this battlefield veteran.

What worries Saljan the most is the Evil Branch Clan, which is in full swing.

As early as the end of the War of the Trolls, the influence of the Evil Branch Clan, which had dominated Hinterland, was faintly greater than that of the suzerain's clan, Amani.

The reason why he didn't jump back was only because Amani also had a few Loa in his hands as killer weapons.

In terms of human combat effectiveness alone, the Evil Branch Clan has undoubtedly surpassed Amani.

There is only one Loa that the Evil Branch Clan believes in, and it is none other than Loa Shadra, a spider whose main body is located in the Zandalar Islands.

Compared to the relatively low-key Deadwood Clan, the Evil Branch Clan is extremely aggressive, and has shown early ambition to unify the various clans of the forest trolls.

What is most unacceptable to Salian is that the Evil Branch Clan still retains the backward vices of living sacrifice and cannibalism.

Thankfully, the path out of the Evil Branch Clan was firmly blocked by the Hammer Dwarves' Eagle's Nest Mountain.

There are only two ways to get out of Hinterland, one is to pass through the Eagle's Nest Gate and enter the Hillsbride Hills.

The second is to bypass the Eagle's Nest Mountain and take the mountain road in the rugged area to the north into the Keldaron area managed by the Barov family.

No matter which way you go, the eagle's nest mountain, which has a wide field of vision, can clearly see the movements of the evil branch trolls, and make early warnings to the surrounding countries in advance.

But this is under normal circumstances when the defensive forces of all sides are in place.

During the Second Orc War, the Alliance's main army was hoarded on the front line of the Hillsbride Hills, and the defense behind Lordaeron was empty.

It was from this mountain trail that Orcs and Trolls marched into Quel'Thalas, where they landed at Silvermoon and disgraced the arrogant High Elves.

The reason why Kael'thas is vigorously developing the navy is not to recover this account from the evil branch trolls.

The land route between Hinterland and the Forest of Yongge was too far apart for Quel'Thalas's army to obtain permission from Terenus to traverse Lordaeron territory.

It's not the same when you go to sea.

From Zuamman Harbour (tentative name), head down the river and around the coastline of East Wild, you will be able to reach the east coast of Hinterland.

Climbing up from the cliff by the sea, Cincaro, the nest of the trolls, is right in front of you.

The Hammer Dwarves hate the savage and brutal trolls, and if they can convince the Eagle's Nest to send troops at the same time, Sarjan doesn't believe that the trolls can turn over any flowers.

Of course, this is only a theoretical assumption.

Today, Quel'Thalas's naval forces are weak enough to support today's long-range cross-sea operations.

But dreams must always be had, otherwise what is the difference between them and salted fish.

Therefore, the construction of the port of Zuaman is of paramount importance and is directly related to the future maritime strategy of Quel'Thalas.

If the East Coast sea route could be opened, Quel'Thalas's fleet would be able to bypass the overland route to all of the East Coast, including Hinterland, Arathi Heights, Northeron, the Badlands, the Swamp of Sorrows, and the Cursed.

If you go a little further, you can continue south to the Valley of Thorns, greatly expanding the scope and influence of Quel'Thalas.

In the entire East Coast region, only Lordaeron's East Sea Fleet can be regarded as an opponent.

Unfortunately, this East China Sea detachment recently attacked the coast of Quel'Salas in disguised privateering, and was almost wiped out by the sudden Red Dragon Knights, with only a few ships barely escaping.

Without a few years of cultivation, it would be impossible for the Lordaeron East Sea Fleet to recover.

These years have been an excellent time for Quel'Salas to race against time to develop his maritime power.

As an important part of the Navy's development plan, the port of Zuaman cannot afford to make mistakes, even if it is a tear with Lordaeron, and it is necessary to ensure that the construction of this front-line port is not interfered with by any factors.

When Salian and the others rode through the old site of Zuaman and arrived at the seashore where a large amount of building materials were piled up, there were still a few engineering arcane puppets working overtime.

The High Elf workers nearby looked listless, looking south from time to time, with a look of unease in their eyes.

The arrival of the special envoy headed by Sarian attracted the attention of many people, and the manager of the port heard about it with hindsight, and rushed out of his detached hut and ran to Sarjan in disheveled clothes.

"Suck ~"

Sarren, who twitched his nose, smelled the smell of grease powder on the site manager, and it didn't take much thought to know what the guy was doing at home in broad daylight.

Sarean's face turned gloomy.

For the sake of Quel'Thalas's new population, he had no objection to the High Elves who had nothing to do.

But only if you do your job first.

The manager was clearly against Sarren's philosophy, and did not take care of the port affairs and only cared for his own enjoyment.

"Smack!"

Pulling out the dragon skin whip (from Saberian) given by Onexia from the spatial package, Salian twitched on the ground with an ugly face.

The loud whip shook the manager, who had been smiling on his face, looked horrified.

"Deep, deep...... Hear me squibble, Count Deepshadow...... Ahh ”

Salajan slashed mercilessly at the other man's neck, and the precise force did not break his neck, but only shattered the collar of his clothes.

"Explain? How do you explain the 'strawberry print' on your neck? ”

"Is your job done? Is the woman in the house your wife? ”

"Smack!"

Another whip, this time it was really pumped, and the dragon leather whip left a bright red mark on the manager's arm, which did not break the skin and bleed, but it could make him miserable.

"Whew! Lord Earl! I plead guilty! Please spare me this time! ”

With the demoralization of the port of Zuaman today, it is just in need of a little stimulation.

Sarjan would not be angry with the other nobles who acted at their orders, and he directly held the port accountable to the top administrator.

"It's not strict! Syllable! ”

"Are you too embarrassed for me to forgive? Syllable! ”

"Show off in front of the workers for 100 days, right! Syllable! ”

The last whip was whipped on the other party's back, and the manager, who had been able to cry in a loud voice before, was already speechless in pain.

Salian deliberately controlled the intensity of his shots and did not make it bloody.

Seeing the miserable appearance of the managers who used to press on their heads and make a fortune tremble in pain, the workers who went up and down to fish were still frightened, and they were all silent.

Salian coiled up his dragon skin whip and casually ordered a bold male worker with a gloating look on his face.

"You! Come out and talk back, which relationship is this guy? ”

The worker who was ordered trembled all over, and hurriedly bowed his head and replied to Sarren, "Yes...... He is one of the stewards of the Drayhart family. ”

"Drayhart?"

Sarjan turned to look at Lotherma: "Contact Unicorn Town, and ask Valera to inform Lady Drayhart, and come over tomorrow morning at the latest to give me a reasonable explanation, and wait for the time to go." ”

Lotherma's impression of Sarean was still a few years ago, and it was the first time he had seen Sarean's iron side.

'Sure enough, the identity is different......

Lothima, who was in a good mood, solemnly commanded: "Yes, Your Excellency, Earl." ”
