Chapter 1271: Zandalar on the Move

With this Quel'Salas Red and White Affair, the countries of the alliance have just reunited to discuss the development plan for the next few years.

From the Orc Rebellion to the Scourge and the Burning Legion-induced wars, from the Eastern Kingdoms to Kalimdor, Azeroth has barely stopped in the past decade or so.

Having finally defeated the Burning Legion and expelled the undead of the natural calamity, the nations that had suffered a great loss of population due to the war were in dire need of recuperation.

The main purpose of this meeting is to sign a free trade agreement between the member countries of the alliance, reduce tariffs for mutual trade, promote economic integration, and encourage the free flow of goods from various countries.

In addition to this, Dalin, who attended the meeting on behalf of Kurtilas, also reported bad news.

Even under the extreme pressure of Kul Tiras's blockade of the open sea, the deep-rooted Zandalar Empire is still reviving day by day.

As the number of Zandala's warships grew, they were no longer satisfied with being dragged offshore under the cover of shore defense weapons, and began to boldly approach the first island chain blockade formed by Kurtiras.

When this issue was raised, Salian also informed the leaders present of the information he had obtained from other sources.

"After the Battle of Mount Hyjal, everyone knows that Quel'Salas has a good relationship with one of the clans of the Lin Trolls, the Darkspear Trolls."

"Not long ago, I got a piece of news from Woking, the son of the Darkspear Chief Senkin."

Sarjan said with a serious expression: "The situation within the Zandalar Empire is quite strange now. ”

"The contemporary god-king Rastaha was devastated by the death of his wife and the defeat in the naval battle a few years ago, and he still ignores the government to this day."

King Varian of the Stormwind Kingdom interjected with a slight frown, "Wait a minute, Darkspear Troll? ”

"If the intelligence gathered by MI7 is not wrong, the Dark Spear Clan has now become the new suzerainty of the Gulabash Empire."

"While the Kalimdor Expeditionary Force was busy dealing with the Burning Legion, the main force of the Darkspear Clan, with the assistance of the Crackling Skull Clan and the Bloodtop Clan, defeated Zurghrab, the jungle troll capital that had been managed by the Gulabash Clan."

"According to Madiath Shore, the master spy of the Stormwind Kingdom, in this civil war to determine the new suzerain, the vast majority of the jungle troll clans are on the side of the Dark Spear, and they work together to expel the evil god Haka summoned by the Gulabash clan."

Sarian echoed Varian's statement: "Yes, since this matter has little to do with the Alliance, we did not specifically inform the member states of the information we received. ”

"The blood god Haka is a recognized evil god in the troll culture, and according to the first-hand information I got from Senjin, behind the great alliance of the various clans of the jungle trolls, there is actually an emissary of Zandalar who is secretly acting in tandem."

"Tsk!" Dai Lin smacked his lips unhappily: "Zandalara's group of miscellaneous crumbs are really pervasive, how did they break through the naval blockade?" ”

Saryan spread his hands and explained, "The Zandala Emissary did not travel to the Valley of Thorns by boat, but flew across the sea with the help of the Pterodactyl Dragon Loapakul. ”

Dai Lin shook his head helplessly: "Airborne...... Then there is no way, the air defense of Kurtilas is really not very good. ”

"Ahem~"

Salian cleared his throat and pulled the topic back up.

"All in all, with the covert help of the Trolls of Zandalara, the Jungle Troll Coalition was able to defeat the defenses of Gulabash and banish the evil god Hakka back to the subplane where it had been imprisoned, thus taking the throne of the Jungle Troll Suzerain's clan in one fell swoop."

"Taking this opportunity, Senkin took the initiative to make a suggestion, and he had his son Wojin follow the messenger of Zandalar to study in Dazaro."

The experienced prophet Veren narrowed his eyes thoughtfully: "Grand Duke of Deep Shadow, you said before that Quel'Salas has a good relationship with the Dark Spear Trolls?" That is to say......"

Sarean didn't hide it, and nodded generously in acknowledgement.

"That's right, Woking's study abroad was something I specifically mentioned to him before."

"You've probably heard of it to some extent, elves and trolls are at odds with each other because of the historical legacy of their early years."

Dalin, who had been involved in the conflict between the High Elves and the Frost Trolls, had a say in this.

"I can attest to the fact that a few years ago, Quel'Salas had a big fight with the trolls in Dhaka in Northrend and Zudak, and it was initially provoked by the frost trolls."

Sarjan smiled helplessly: "As we all know, although we have defeated the invasion of the Burning Legion again after 10,000 years, the sacrifices we have paid for this are not a lot at all, and the World Tree that has blessed the Night Elves for tens of thousands of years has been blown up because of this. ”

"In addition to the Burning Legion, Azeroth also needs to face the Elder Gods, who may jump out at any time to cause trouble, and the coveting of various extraterrestrial forces, including the Shadow Realm."

"Azeroth is just a native power that has not yet left the lap of its home planet, and in the face of the Burning Legion that will return sooner or later and hostile forces hiding in the shadows, we must unite all living forces in Azeroth as much as possible."

"So, I plan to use Woking as a starting point to try to reach an agreement with the Zandalar Empire."

Sarian glanced at Dai Lin, who was frowning: "I know that there is a conflict of maritime interests between Zandalar and Kurtilas, and I do not force the two sides to completely abandon their previous suspicions and shake hands. ”

"I only hope that in the face of a formidable enemy that threatens the survival of Azeroth, we and Zandalar will put aside our conflicts for a moment and turn our guns together."

Dalin was not a reckless man who could not see the big picture, and with the persuasion of Sarean, he agreed to the proposal.

"As long as Zandala is willing to sign a foreign cooperation agreement, Kurtilas is willing to make some concessions."

Galia asked worriedly, "Grand Duke of the Deep Shadow, are you sure that you can convince Zendalar to let go of her 10,000-year-old hatred for the elves?" ”

Saryan shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile: "To be honest, I don't know much, but it's man-made, so I still have to give it a try." ”

"Straight to the point."

Sarjan solemnly continued: "Due to the decadence of the god-king Rastaha, almost all the ruling power of the Zandala Empire now falls into the hands of the Zanshuli Council. ”

"All of Zandalara's recent decisions have been made by the Prophet Zur, the chief member of the Zanshuli Council."

Danas raised his hand in confusion and spoke, "I've only recently returned to Azeroth, and I don't know much about Zandalara's situation. ”

"Can anyone explain to me what kind of man this prophet Zur is?"

Most of the members of the Alliance, with the exception of Kurtilas and Deleni, are purely land-based states, and know little about Zandalara, whose base is far in the middle of the sea.

And the Deleni people have been squatting on the Secret Blue Island to cultivate "internal strength" since they joined the alliance, and as outsiders, they naturally don't know much information.

"I'll tell you."

At Dailin's encouraging suggestion, the young Crown Prince of Kurtilas Tandre took the initiative to step forward.

"Just like my brother-in-law...... Ahem! According to the Grand Duke of Deep Shadow, the Prophet Zur is the chief member of the Zanshuli Council and the undisputed number two of the Zandala Empire. ”

Tandre, who accidentally slipped his name, hurriedly adjusted his words, but the leaders present already knew about the relationship between the little princess Kurtilas and Sarjan, and did not care about Tander's slip of the tongue.

Under the encouraging gaze of those equally young kings, Tandere quickly gathered his emotions and said solemnly: "With King Rastaha taking the initiative to delegate power, Zur's authority is even higher than that of Princess Tarangi, who is temporarily the regent of his father. ”

"According to the intelligence gathered by Kurtilas, the relationship between Zur and Rastaha ...... It's more subtle. ”

"Rastaha and Zur are mutually beneficial, but at the same time they are wary of each other."

"They agree on the idea of revitalizing the Zendala Empire, but they disagree on the plan for implementing the revitalization plan."

After the initial nervousness and slips of the tongue, Tanderley gradually adapted to the attention of the leaders of the countries, and said eloquently: "Zur advocates re-establishing the connection with the three divided empires of the trolls, so that Zandalar can return to the top under the protection of the three major clans. ”

Rastaha, on the other hand, thinks Zur's proposal is naΓ―ve and ignores the complexity of human nature.

"This is not the case now, the Forest Trolls, Jungle Trolls, and Frost Trolls, who have long since established themselves will no longer be as easily subservient to the leadership of the suzerain's clan as they were in the past."

"As a result, Rastaha advocated authoritarian rule and subjugation, and in the early years he had many quarrels with Zur, who advocated Huairou, over this matter, and neither side could convince anyone."
