The reason why Sarren cares so much about the Elder God of Draenor is that in addition to wanting to lift the curse and restore Ansu's strength, there is also a deeper intention.

Rehearsal of underwater battles.

It is well known that the only remaining active Old God in Azeroth is Enzos, who is hiding in the depths of the sea.

Enzos is not stupid, and it is clearly not going to give up its home advantage and fight to the death with the defenders of Azeroth on land.

No matter how Deathwing and Varosson jump up and down, if they want to seal Enzos again, the final battle will inevitably take place near Neolosa, which is buried deep at the bottom of the sea.

Not to mention that the soldiers of various countries are not familiar with underwater combat, the commanders, including Sarian, also know nine out of ten about it - none of it.

It is true that the orthodox Naga led by Azhara will inevitably provide strong support in the final battle, but it is impossible for Sarren to put the key to victory in the hands of Azhara, who has a lot of feuds with the Night Elves.

Not to mention whether Naga, who is not yet firm in his position, will have the possibility of defecting, in case Aishara grasps this pain point and puts forward unreasonable coercion conditions before the final battle, in the current situation of the great enemy, should Salian agree or not?

Therefore, Sarjan decided to use this underwater battle with the ancient gods of Drano as a rehearsal for the decisive battle with Enzos, at least to have a general understanding of the process and know-how of the underwater battle, and not to be arrogant and stupid like the Night Elves did in the Battle of Estolant.

After bidding farewell to the preoccupied Vasqui, Salaan took Onexia and Gianna to Frostfire Ridge in the northwest of the Zangar Marshes.

Frost Fire Ridge is located in a remote area, and the climate is harsh, and the old tribe that was invincible back then did not look down on the poor mountains and bad waters here.

After eliminating the ogres of the Dota Fortress, the army of the old horde withdrew without leaving any troops here.

As a result, Frostfire Ridge is the least contaminated area in all of Draenor by evil energy.

However, if the evil energy is allowed to continue to spread, Frostfire Ridge and the far overseas island of Farron will also be unable to escape erosion.

Since the fall of the Dota Ogre, and the Thunder God Clan and the Frost Wolf Clan have left the Frost Fire Ridge one after another, this extremely cold snow-capped mountain region has been unattended for a long time.

It wasn't until Solas migrated from Azeroth that he led an army of the undead who were not afraid of cold and heat, and did not need food or water supplies, that the frost and fire ridge, which had been covered by heavy snow all year round, finally regained some "popularity".

Before leaving for Draenor, Salaan had already sent someone to inform Solas in advance.

The former Dota Fort site has been transformed into a new undead stronghold by members of Free Will, and when Sarren arrives at his destination, the undead higher-ups led by Solas have been waiting for a long time.

"Yo?"

Sarjan looked at one of the archlich following Solas in surprise, "Kel'thugad, when did you return from the Dark Temple?" It's been a long time. ”

Kel'thugad chuckled and replied, "Not long ago, after learning that you were coming to Draenor, I said goodbye to Shahras. ”

"Heh~"

Salian smiled meaningfully: "Your kid has always been in the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and he must have come to me when he has something to ask for." ”

Kel'thugad spread his hands: "I don't deny it, but let's discuss the serious matters you care about first, and I can leave my private affairs for later." ”

Saljan nodded, turning to Solas and Fao beforehand: "So? Is there a result for a carpet search? ”

Solas shook his head, "No, we've turned almost all the volcanoes around Frostfire Ridge upside down, and we haven't found any traces of dragon eggs. ”

“emmmmm…… That's weird. ”

Onexia, who had been hiding on the side and pretending to be asleep, took the rare initiative to stand up and ask, "Have you also looked for it underground?" It is possible that Saberian buried the dragon egg under the snow. ”

Solas replied helplessly: "Of course I have found it, the undead spider demon has drilled the ground of Frost Fire Ridge in all directions, and there is still no gain. ”

Sallian thoughtfully tapped his finger on his forehead: "In this way, maybe my guess is wrong. ”

"Instead of burying the eggs in the best place for the baby dragons to hatch, Saberian chose to prioritize secrecy."

"It seems that we still have to go to Blade Mountain."

"Blade's Edge Mountain...... Solas frowned as he reminded, "The free-will scouts have begun to gradually emerge from Frostfire Ridge in recent months. ”

"Considering that Naga, who rules the Zangar Swamp, is an ally, the first stop we explore is Blade's Edge Mountain, near the border of Frostfire Ridge."

Sarjan heard the depression in Solas's words, and asked with a slight frown, "Did you meet Gruul?" ”

"Not really." Solas smiled wryly and said, "His Goron heirs alone are a big obstacle to our reconnaissance and exploration. ”

"And these Goron's subordinates also have a lot of one-eyed demons and ogres, which are not easy to deal with."

Draenor has been constantly affected by the erosion of the land by evil powers, and apart from the earthquake that sank the Aranka Peaks and the Zangar Marshes appeared out of thin air, the area formerly known as Gorrond was the most affected.

Gollund was affected by severe geological activity on the same level as the Alanka Peak Forest, and the difference between the different plots was exaggerated, turning it into the current Blade Mountain.

Solas and Fao provided Saray with a lot of information about Blade's Edge Mountain, including the current power composition of the Blade's Edge region.

There is no doubt that the powerful Delaenor native demigod, Grull the Dragon Slayer, is the biggest force in it.

The name Dragon Slayer was not shouted by Grull himself, but was given to him by Gronn and the ogre, who witnessed Grull's battle to hammer Saberian back then.

All of the ogres and one-eyed demons in Bladeblade Mountain nominally worship Gruul, but Grull himself is not interested in the intrigues between these different forces.

As a result, even among Gruul's subordinates, fights between different ogre clans often occur, not to mention the stupider one-eyed demons.

After years of infighting and raising Gu, now the Blade Mountain region has entered the finals, except for Gruul and his heirs, only the last four large forces remain in the entire Blade Mountain.

Fao: "The four factions are the Bloodhammer Ogre, the Dota Ogre, the Orc Thorter Clan, and the Orc Clan, Moknassa, which has an ogre half-bloodline. ”

"Moknassa ......"

Sarjan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he touched his chin: "Is it the Moknassa where the Beastmaster Lexa is?" ”

"That's right."

Fao nodded and explained, "The Moknassa clan is Blade Mountain...... Or the native clan of Golrond, the Moknassa clan began intermarrying with ogres many years ago. ”

"Therefore, the members of this clan are far superior to ordinary orcs in terms of physical fitness, and they are not at all inferior to the evil orcs who have been strengthened by evil powers, and Lexa Rema is one of them."

"The Moknassa clan has always been independent and stubborn, and both the Black Hand and the Naozu have issued a call to the Moknassa clan, but they have never received a positive response from the Moknassa."

"Aside from the fact that Lexa is a solo ethnic outlier, Moknassa has nothing to do with the Horde in the strict sense of the word, as they have never been a member of the Horde from beginning to end...... It doesn't matter which tribe it is. ”

"Is that so...... Salian muttered, looking down, "let me think about it first." ”

According to the information provided by Fao and Soras, the Bloodhammer Ogre and Moknassa are both native forces of Golrond, while the Dota Ogre and the Orcs of the Thor Clan have migrated from Frostfire Ridge.

Don't think that these four major forces will ally with each other because of the local plot, they don't exist.

As early as when they lived in Frostfire Ridge, the Thor clan had a lot of fights with the Dota ogres, and Moknassa, who had a part of the ogre blood, had never been recognized by any ogre clan.

With Grull himself not doing anything, the last four large forces to survive in Blade Hill were not convinced by anyone, and the indiscriminate melee gave Solas a headache, and until now he has not been able to figure out how to enter Blade Mountain.

"Ogres are basically impossible to win over, I don't believe in the brains and discipline of those fools."

Solas had no objection to this, because what Sarean said was the truth.

With the fall of the Gorian Empire, the Ogre who survived lost the ability to mass-produce the Two-Headed Ogre.

Without the leadership and planning of the intelligent two-headed ogre, the rules of today's ogre society are regressing wildly, gradually moving closer to the primitive settlements of ancient times.

To put it bluntly, whoever has the big fist has the right to speak, a proper law of the jungle.

Salian rubbed his temples with a headache: "Thor Clan...... I don't think that group of belligerent lunatics can be co-opted. ”

"After using the elimination method, I can only try to start with the stubbornly xenophobic Moknassa, right?"
