Chapter 1279: Colonization? Then colonize
The ignorant are fearless, and there is a lot of truth in that.
The Pygmies of the Lost Isles did not grow up under the beating of the Torvirs, like their people in Uldem.
The Lost Isles are completely closed to the outside world, and the Pygmies do not have the seafaring skills they need to go to sea, leading them to be trapped on the island, believing that they are the masters of the whole world.
As everyone knows, there is a vast world beyond this untouched island.
Having been in the Lost Islands for many years, the Pygmies have long been accustomed to a domineering style.
When encountering outsiders they have never seen before, their first reaction is not to observe cautiously, but to take the initiative to launch a Banzai charge without fear...... Even if the enemy is much taller than them.
Aegis, the leader of the Talon Warriors and the leader of the Skitis Ravens, asked Sarjan with a strange expression, "Benefactor, these ...... Is the dwarf the Pygmies you mentioned? ”
The Anhar Ravens had endured the wrath of Rukma not long ago, and their decision-making level had undergone a great purge, and the high-ranking Raven people who had survived until now were all people of conscience who had been recognized by Rukma himself.
It was not long ago that Sarayan learned that there were also many people within the Anhar sect who were dissatisfied with the rulers, believing that their treatment of the Sketis Ravens was too extreme.
These high-ranking Raven people spontaneously formed an organization called the Awakening Sect, and they were determined to eliminate the long-standing conflict between the Anhar and Skalax sects, and gather the will of all the Raven people to rebuild the once glorious Episis Empire.
At Rukma's behalf, the second leader of the Awakened Cult, Ryrak, became the new leader of the Anhar Ravens.
Rylac has a completely different philosophy from Verix, the High Sage who previously led the Anhar Sect, and he doesn't mind working with his fellow Scythis who have lost their wings.
At this time, Rylac scratched the feathers on his head with a smile: "Grand Duke of Deep Shadow, although the Raven People are now in an unprecedented period of weakness, but with these little dwarfs who are full of recklessness, it is impossible to pose a substantial threat to us, right?" ”
Pygmies are tragically taller than gnomes, and they are generally thin and do not possess the same intelligent minds as gnomes.
If only the pygmies of the Lost Isles could be like their distant relatives in Odum, it would be nice to fight with a stick, head-on...... Combat effectiveness is really worrisome.
Sarena was also a little speechless: "It's my habitual thinking that has gone wrong, and the pygmies here are completely different from what I remember." ”
"In short, as outsiders, it's best not to kill them all at once, let's try to communicate first, and then think about the next step."
The raven demigod Ansu originally represented the arcane powers of Draenor, and even though he had been tormented by the Sethai curse for many years, he still taught the Sketis Ravens a great deal of arcane magic.
This includes a kind of soul speech that can communicate across languages.
However, when one of the Dark Seers, one of the Talon Kings Aegis, used a spell to communicate with the captured pygmies, everyone present fell silent.
"Hey~"
Salian patted his forehead helplessly: "Banish all the pygmies on this attached island back to the main island, and you should use this as a base first." ”
The Lost Islands are made up of the largest main island in the central part of the country, as well as a number of satellite islands of various sizes in the surrounding waters.
The annex island where Saljan and the others landed was the largest of them, and it was suitable for use as a temporary foothold and advance base for the Raven Ones.
As for what the pygmies said to Seth the Dark Sage...... In fact, there is no need to investigate deeply, in short, it is not a good word, and there is no logic at all, it is nothing more than words such as killing and eating.
That's right, eat.
The ferocious and savage pygmies did not find it a problem to eat humanoids, and they were so hungry that they ate even the corpses of their compatriots.
Although Sarian doesn't want the Raven People to become the fierce colonists who slaughter the natives in the barrage, from the perspective of a civilized person, the Pygmies belong to the kind of creatures whose mud can't hold up the wall.
There is no point in keeping these barbarians who have not even developed civilization, you want to communicate with them, but the other party has no concept of peaceful coexistence at all, and just wants to fill your stomach.
In this case, Sarjan, who is not the Virgin, will not be entangled, and the colonizer will be the colonist.
The high-ranking ravens cast a spell to summon a violent wind, sending all the pygmies on the island to the main island on the other side of the channel.
Seeing the panicked pygmies running around on the beach, Salian shook his head speechlessly.
"Leave them alone, you forerunners need to build a village that can contain a large number of people before the Kurtilas transport arrives."
Aegis, the king of the talons, asked distressedly, "Benefactor, this island...... I'm afraid I can't fit all the ravens. ”
Salian nodded understandingly: "Kurtiras's transport ships will arrive in batches, if the island is overcrowded, you will find a way to advance to the main island, and ...... Rukma. ”
"Huh? Call me? ”
Rukma was trying to communicate with Avina's subordinates, chattering with each other.
Hearing Sarren's call, Rukma hurried over.
"Look over there."
Following Sarren's finger, Rukma saw an active volcano emitting black smoke on the main island of the Lost Isles.
"If I'm not mistaken, as a firebird demigod, you should have fire-related powers, right?"
"Hmm." Rukma nodded, "I do possess the power of fire, one of the four elements that form the basis of the material world...... I kind of see what you mean. ”
Rukma's soul had not been cultivating in the Emerald Dream Realm for a long time, and it was impossible for her to recover to her peak state so quickly.
Light and fire are two of the most important of Rukma's powers, and the recharge of either power will allow Rukma to regain strength faster.
Volcanoes are rich in both fire and earth, and the active volcanoes of the Lost Islands can be used as "hot springs" to help Rukma recover.
Scald? For Rukma as a firebird, there is no such thing, and the hotter she gets, the happier she is.
Through communication with Avina and other demigods of the wilderness, Rukma also knew that Azeroth was not a peaceful place, and that enemies of both light and darkness were eyeing this world with star spirits.
If she wants to protect her people in Azeroth and protect this new home, Rukma must have enough strength to always pin her hopes on outsiders.
As a result, Rukma is desperate to get back to the top as soon as possible, which is one of the main reasons why Salian chose the Lost Islands to house the Raven people.
As for Ansu...... Due to the change in the situation, he had to arrange another person to help him later.
……
After confirming that the Raven elites who had gone before were capable of building a good base, Sarean did not stay in the Lost Isles for long.
After witnessing Rukma fly into the crater, Sarjan awkwardly left a spatial coordinate in the Raven base, and then located the city of Sulama and teleported over.
"Hoo ......"
After successfully reaching his destination, Salian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Fortunately, although the speed of the teleportation is a little slower, at least it has not been thrown into the spatial turbulence."
After all, Saray is still very young, and the accumulation as a demigod is far from enough.
If his guess was correct, if he wanted to further comprehend power, Sarean would no longer be able to use the previous method of focusing on one power, and he would have to make four ...... To be precise, the five natural abilities go hand in hand.
So, even though the technique is still very rusty, when Stella Gossa and Gianna are not around, Salian will try to activate the teleportation as much as possible.
Through the permanent portal from Sulama City to Silvermoon City, Sarean quickly returned to Quel'Thalas.
The newlywed Kael'thas also learned of the changes in the Northrend continent, and Winlessa had already taken the order to go to the city of New Shandara first.
As Sarren had previously mentioned at the Alliance convention, the Frost Trolls of Dhaka saw an opportunity for Lorcan to reunite the fortress of Daxsalon, which had been captured by the High Elves years earlier.
Lairas, who was sitting in the fortress of Daxalon, did not expect that the trolls from Dhaka would attack his side with a false shot from the grizzly hills, and his reaction was half a beat slower when facing the pressure of the trolls' army.
Fortunately, the assistant officers that Wenlessa had left behind in Las were all experienced veteran rangers, and they didn't let Dhaka's troll raid succeed.
When the order to mobilize the whole army of Lairas was belated, the scouts who happened to be patrolling outside the city had already used the guerrilla warfare method that the rangers were best at to complete a round of confrontation with the vanguard troops from Dhaka, and no one could take advantage of it, and won valuable events for the deployment of Lailas.
Kael'thas frowned and asked, "Why did Lorcan suddenly and purposefully assault the Winter Embrace Lake?" Could it be that Yugsaron said something to him? ”
The dusty Sarian said solemnly: "This is also the problem I want to understand, knowing oneself and knowing the other can win a hundred battles, we must first find out the source of Loken's intelligence, otherwise similar sneak attacks are likely to happen again." ”
