Chapter 1097: Reinforcements from the Dark Spear Trolls
The coalition fleet that crossed the sea to reinforce the Kalimdor continent was large, and it was impossible to rely on speedboats to quickly cross the sea as it did last time.
After arriving at the port of Sulama to pick up the Kaolin Minotaur and the Children of the Night, the fleet commander of the Naval Authority of the Sea in Kurtiras, the Naval Flagship, Tandre Prodmore, ordered the fleet to set sail again.
Thandley is the youngest child of the Proudmoor royal family, three years younger than Gianna, who has just turned 16 this year.
Living on the sea all year round, the sailors of Kul Tiras spent their days on the ship in the sun and rain, and most of them were rough and unkempt.
At just 16 years old, Tandray has grown a full beard and looks at least 10 years older than his actual age by his physical appearance.
However, the youth in his eyes could not be concealed from the old sailors who often went to sea, and this was the first time that he, the crown prince of Kul Tiras, made an official appearance as the commander of the fleet.
Dalin, who had already lost a son on the battlefield, certainly did not want to be at ease with the inexperienced Tandray in control of the fleet alone, so he assigned his lieutenant Cyrus, who had been with him for many years, to accompany Tandre.
Barrage netizens are familiar with this high-ranking naval officer named Cyrus.
At some point in the future of the original history, Sellers, who had long since retired from the navy, was appointed Harbour Governor of Bullaras and played a significant role in the plot about Kurtilas.
At the same time, he should have become, in the original history, the daughter of Duke Berval Vortagen, the adoptive father of Tyria.
Due to the changes that Sarean has made to history, this plot should not happen again.
Saléan had previously obtained a piece of information through scouts from the King's Intelligence Service, and Berval's daughter had just been born.
According to the barrage, Tylia was sent to Blallus for refuge by Bervar because of the natural disaster.
In the current timeline, the turmoil caused by the Scourge is far less severe than in the original history, mainly concentrated in the northern part of the Eastern Kingdom, and does not affect the Stormwind Kingdom located in the far south.
Compared to the Scourge Legion, the Stormwind Kingdom in a remote corner is more concerned with the jungle trolls in the Valley of Thorns next door.
After several years of tugging, under the hard work and cooperation of Senjin and Woking, the Jungle Troll Federation, led by the Darkspear Clan, has long surpassed the three major clans of Gulabash, Skull, and Bloodtop.
Although the three major clans were united by the pressure exerted by the Dark Spear Clan, they were still intriguing with each other, and it was always difficult to let go of their contradictions and truly reach cooperation.
The invasion of the Burning Legion is a huge crisis for all of Azeroth, and of course Sarjan will not let go of the Dark Spear Trolls, who have long since cultivated the climate, and has passed the news to Senjin through the caravan of the Hot Sand Consortium in advance.
The Dark Spear Clan was poor and white in the early years, and was almost wiped out by the three major clans, and was forced to move out of the Valley of Thorns and move overseas.
Thanks to Salajan's timely help, the Darkspear Clan was able to regain its strength and grow to its current size.
As a young man, Senkin studied in Dasaro, the capital of the Zendalar Empire, and heard the name of the Burning Legion from Zandalara, and knew that these demons would never die in the heart of Azeroth.
Unlike the leaders of the three jungle troll clans, who were busy with infighting and short-sightedness, Senkin, who had been broadened by Zandalara, began to look at the world many years ago.
After receiving Sarren's letter for help, Senkin, realizing the seriousness of the problem, immediately asked the growing Woking to lead half of his army to Treasure Bay, and prepare to cross the sea to Kalimdor on a ship "friendly" by the Blackwater pirates.
Such a large military movement of the Dark Spear Trolls would naturally alarm the three major clans led by Gulabash.
While it is impossible to understand why the Darkspear Clan would suddenly divide their forces at a time when they have already seen the dawn of victory, the sorcerer Jindo sees this as a perfect opportunity.
Under his seductive spells, the leader of Gulabash, the Blood Lord Mandukir, finally agrees to Jindo's offer to summon Haka the Soul Reaver, in an attempt to turn the tables in one fell swoop.
The Soul Reaver, as the name suggests, Haka is able to grow itself by devouring souls.
Years ago, the reckless Haka was recognized as an evil god by the Zandalar Empire.
After a bloody battle, the Soul Reavers were banished from Azeroth by the Priests of Zandalar and sealed in a special subplane.
In terms of combat effectiveness, Haka in its heyday could also rank among all Loa.
Jindu took a fancy to Haka's strong strength, and he was so confident that the Gulabash clan could seize Haka's power for his own use through a well-prepared witchcraft ritual, so as to bring Gulabash back to the top.
Leaving aside whether Jindu's calculation can be realized, it is obviously impossible for the Jungle Troll Federation led by the Dark Spear to sit idly by and watch Gulabash unseal the Soul Reapers.
However, Jindu's determination is very strong, and he unexpectedly attacks the two clans of Skull and Bloodtop, who have reached a cooperation agreement, from behind, and uses their souls to nourish the sealed Haka.
The Darkspear Clan, which had sent half of its army across the sea, was overstretched, and with Sarean's lead in the middle, Senjin arranged for an emissary to ask for reinforcements from the Kingdom of Stormwind next door.
It's been a long time since the Great Thorn Valley began its long-running civil war, and the trolls haven't invaded the twilight forest next door.
During the reign of Varian's grandfather, Baratheon, the Stormwind Kingdom and the Jungle Trolls often clashed in the border areas.
Before Varian's father, Lynn, ascended to the throne, he infiltrated the vanguard camp of the Gulabash clan with Medivan and Anduin Lothar.
Due to Medivan's sudden burst of magic, this elite team unexpectedly inflicted great damage on the troll vanguard army that invaded the territory of the Stormwind Kingdom, and the original cautious temptation of both sides turned into a never-ending war.
King Baraseen was killed in the war against the Gulabash Empire.
Upon his rapid ascension to the throne, with the help of Medivan, who has awakened the power of the Guardians, he repelled the invading jungle trolls and crushed the Gulabash clan, who were the main force of the invasion.
Because of this bitter war that broke the bones of both sides, the hatred between the Stormwind Kingdom and the jungle trolls continues to this day, and the diplomatic envoy sent by Senjin was nearly killed on the spot by patrolling guards when he appeared in Stormwind Kingdom's territory.
Fortunately, Sarjan informed King Varian of this in advance, and under the arrangement of the king's envoy, the diplomatic envoys of the Darkspear Clan were able to arrive at Stormwind Fortress smoothly and convey the meaning of the Darkspear Chief Senjin to Varian in person.
As Salian was busy sailing to Kalimdor, he did not know what would happen for the time being.
However, for years to come, the remaining forces of the Stormwind Kingdom and the Darkspear Trolls will probably be busy dealing with the Gulabash clan who are eager to awaken the Soul Reaver Haka.
Originally, Sarlian planned to make peace with Woking, who had come from afar in the Lost Isles, near the mainland of Kalimdor, but unfortunately the plan could not catch up with the change.
A sudden storm at sea causes the Darkspear Clan's fleet to miss the meeting and time.
Although the subsequent inventory found that the loss of personnel was not significant, the transport ship provided by the Blackwater pirates was so badly damaged that it had to dock on a nearby desert island for temporary repairs.
Unable to wait for Woking's fleet for a long time, although Sarren was worried about this, he couldn't have dragged the fleet to wait in the Lost Isles.
"I can't help it."
Sighing helplessly, Sarjan said to Tandre, "Let's set off first, wait until the army has landed in Kalimdor, and then let the ships of Kurtiras search for their whereabouts at sea." ”
Tandere nodded kindly: "Okay, brother-in-law." ”
"As far as I know, it's been a time of storm at sea lately, and the troll's fleet may have been hit by a storm."
"Storm at sea......
Sarjan smiled bitterly and rubbed his eyebrows: "Also, who made Akmund choose to land in Kalimdor in July in the middle of summer...... Now, I can only wish Wojin and them good luck. ”
A few years ago, when Sarren was learning the ways of the Thorny Whisperer from Alpha the Old Bear, Sarjan had met the then-young Tandre.
Saléan still remembers that Tandre was very honest when he was a child, and he once naively shouted a slogan, saying that he wanted to become the admiral of the navy of Kul Tiras when he grew up.
A few years have passed, and Tandre's wish has been granted...... Although in a different way that he didn't expect at all when he was a kid.
"Time flies...... In a blink of an eye, the little kid who was still wearing open crotch pants has grown so big. ”
Looking at Tandre, who was commanding Ruoding under the left side of Cyrus's assistant, Sarian sighed with emotion.
"Heh~"
A familiar voice with a slight mockery came from behind Saljan: "Little ghost, how old are you, and you have begun to sigh about life so early?" ”
