Chapter 1385: The "Dissolve Hatred" operation officially began
Since the end of the Troll War more than 2,800 years ago, the Amani Empire, which once dominated the eastern kingdoms, has gone downhill.
Before the Troll War, Quel'Salas was on the defensive in the face of Amani's onslaught, and the two generations of Sun Kings after Darth Lema died fighting to protect the kingdom.
With the end of the Troll War, Quel'Salas finally turned to the offensive and suppressed the Amani clan who had fled back to their homeland near Zu Aman, and there was no longer the invincible life it once was.
After Zuaman was defeated by Quel'Salas, the fleeing remnants of Amani survived for a few more years.
Today, Amani's establishment has completely disappeared, and the captured trolls have been sent to work in the mines of Quel'Salas, with no chance of turning back again.
Without Amani's suppression, the two largest forest troll clans, Deadwood and Evil Branch, rightfully began to compete for the suzerain's throne.
The effects of the Troll Wars on the trolls of the forest are still present today.
In addition to the dead wood and evil branches, Backlight Blade rummaged through the entire Eastern Kingdom and found a few clans that could still be put on the table, most of them were small clans like Evil Tooth who gradually forgot the hatred of their ancestors and struggled on the edge of the food and clothing line all day long.
I can't even eat enough, where does I have the energy to remember those eight poles that can't fight the ancient hatred?
Therefore, when Quel'Salas took the initiative to extend an olive branch to the Evil Tooth Clan, who were living under the oppression of the evil branch, the chief of the Evil Tooth Clan, who was exhausted, took refuge without saying a word, so that the few clansmen could have a good meal.
Salian has always been a man of promises.
After the Badtooth Clan opened their village to Quel'Thalas as the only port in the Hinterland region, a large amount of foreign resources were transported to Eviltooth as the operation of the trade route gradually got on the right track.
These various resources are mainly sold to the Hammer Dwarves, but as a port staging point, the Badtooth Clan has also benefited from the steady maritime trade between the Hammer Dwarves and the High Elves.
Today, the Evil Tooth Clan no longer has to worry about food and clothing, but the one they fear the most is their next-door neighbor, the Evil Branch Troll.
Back in the Amani clan...... Even when Zulkin was still around, the trolls of the Evil Branch made no secret of their ambition to take the throne.
In order to gain more recognition from the forest troll clans, they did not adopt a gentle strategy for the small and medium-sized clans in their vicinity, but implemented the tough tactics of Shunchang's rebellion.
Due to the strength of the trolls, most of the oppressed small and medium-sized clans could only swallow their anger and submit to their obscenity.
There are also hard bones like the Thornblade Clan who would rather die than bow their heads, but the result is ...... All of the forest troll clans around Hinterland have seen it.
Although the tragic fate of the Thornblade Clan shocked many small clans who were dissatisfied with the evil branch, it also gave them a sense of crisis in their hearts.
Considering the trolls' habit of invigorating sacrifices, who would dare to pat their chests and promise that they wouldn't become the next Thornblade Clan?
So what about the other option, to join the Deadwood Clan?
To most of the small clan of forest trolls, this idea is equally unrealistic.
They are also one of the few large clans among the forest trolls, and even if the Deadwood clan is milder in their attitude towards their own clan than the evil branch, it is really not much better, after all, they all follow the same ancient forest troll culture.
In other words, the Deadwood Trolls also maintain the cultural tradition of cannibalism and living sacrifice.
Compared to those large clans with complete inheritance and stubborn thoughts, the small clans of forest trolls are more "enlightened".
What kind of national hatred and family hatred, mind my, the sky has fallen and there is a high top.
Whoever feeds my people and gives us a sense of security, we will follow him.
After years of detailed investigation by Backlight Blade, Sarjan was already familiar with the current state of the forest troll clans.
It can be said that as long as the two last large clans of forest trolls are eliminated, the ancient culture of the Amani Empire will be completely destroyed.
In the words of the barrage...... This is called treating, beheading, and being accepted as a dog.
There are Hammer Dwarves on the side of the Evil Branch Trolls to cooperate with the extermination, and of course, they must also prepare a "surprise" for the Deadwood Trolls.
Stormgard has been a bitter troll for a long time, and if it weren't for his own lack of strength, Danas would have wanted to raise an army and kill all the deadwood trolls who had humiliated the Stormgards.
His own capital, Fort Riptide, had been partially occupied by the enemy, and as one of the victorious generals of the expeditionary force, Danas could not bear this humiliation.
Knowing that Quel'Thalas had decided to take the lead in making the Amani Empire a thing of the past, Danas, who had long been interested in revenge, quickly agreed to Quel'Thalas' after some discussion with the disbanded and reorganized Parliament...... Or rather, Sarren's plan.
Stormgard did not greatly assist in the Battle of Hyjal on the other side of the sea, and fought a whole battle of soy sauce due to his own lack of national strength in the natural disaster rebellion.
After several years of muffled development, the weather-beaten country has finally recovered a little bit of vitality.
The House of Torbain were once the bravest warriors of Emperor Soladin.
After the six countries of the alliance left Arathi, the land of human dragons, only the Torbain family decided to stay behind in the ruined Torrent City and continue to guard the roots of the Arathor Empire.
As the saying goes, if a soldier bears, there will be a nest of bears.
Led by Torbain, a royal family full of martial virtues, the soldiers of the Stormgard Kingdom have always ranked first among the Seven Kingdoms of Mankind in terms of individual combat effectiveness.
Although Stormgard fell into decay for several years after the unexpected death of Solas Tolbain, the tiger was not defeated.
There are still many of the military nobles who followed Solas in the charge, and these nobles supported the backbone of the kingdom of Stormgard and gave Danas strong support to the throne after returning from Draenor.
Unlike the ministers of the civil bureaucracy, if Xungui wants to maintain his position and even go further, he can only rely on his own martial arts to fight on the battlefield.
When these military dignitaries learned that Danas intended to launch a revenge against the Deadwood Trolls, they immediately enthusiastically supported the new king's decision.
During the reign of Garin, the prestigious Arathi Highland Cavalry Regiment was broken up by this mediocre king.
As soon as Danas officially ascended the throne, he announced the reorganization of the Highland Cavalry Regiment.
Stormgard's top brass had seen first-hand the catastrophic consequences of the country's weakened military force in previous years, and even civilian officials, who had always disliked Takeo, strongly supported Danas's decision.
People who can be in high positions can't all be straw bales, and they still understand the truth of cold lips and teeth.
When Salian set sail from the port of Darth Visser, southeast of Silvermoon City, the high-level officials of the Stormgard Kingdom officially agreed on it.
The reorganized Elite Highland Cavalry Regiment set out from Fort Riptide and headed west into the Hillsbride Hills.
In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Danas greeted King Etherton Pirenod next door before the cavalry regiment was dispatched.
The Highland Cavalry will only take the mountain road southeast of Hillsbride to Hinterland, and will not stay in the hills for long.
Atherton believed in the character of Danas, a war hero, but in view of the territorial dispute between the two countries over Hillsbride, Silverton ordered Duke Ravenhold to lead a large number of thieves along the way to monitor the movement of the Highland Cavalry.
It turns out that Danas, who was born in the military, is indeed not the kind of villain who is two-faced.
The Highland Cavalry Regiment entered Hinterland by forbidden, and marched silently, avoiding dead wood and evil branches, into the Eagle's Nest Mountain, where they met the Hammer Dwarves who had been waiting for them for a long time.
By the way, the reason why such a cavalry regiment with a lot of movement was able to perfectly avoid the surveillance of Deadwood and Evil Branch Trolls on Eagle's Nest Mountain was due to the thieves of Backlight Blade.
In order to keep in close contact with the Hammer Dwarves, the High Elves established an outpost on the high ground east of the Eagle's Nest a few years ago, known as Quirdani's Hut, with the permission of Furstad.
After Sarjan decided to make a big move against Hinterland, except for Villeres, the king's attendant, who remained in the court of the Sunstrider as always, the elite of the Backlight Blade, including Julian, almost poured out.
While all sides had begun to prepare for the coming war, Sarren rode the south wind down the river, and a whole fleet of High Elves quietly landed in the port of Eviltooth in eastern Hinterland.
"So ......"
After stepping off the ship, Sarean immediately learned about the latest situation in Hinterland through the Backlight Blade intelligence network that Valera had mastered.
"In my capacity as the acting agent of the Sun King, I ordered that the 'Dispel Hatred' operation officially begin."
