With Kael'thas at his behalf, the construction machines ordered by Salian from Quel'Salas were packaged as quickly as possible and transported directly from Silvermoon City's logistics center to Sandala City in the north.

Before leaving Quel'Thalas, the Sarren family had said goodbye to their friends such as the three Windranger sisters, Liadline, Haduron, and Lotherma, but Lyras, the younger brother of the Windranger who guarded the northern frontier, knew nothing about it.

As time passed, the news of Grand Duke Deepshadow's departure from Quel'Thalas gradually reached Sandara, and the soldiers who had returned from the change of shifts at Daxalon Fortress heard about it, and it didn't take long for it to reach Lyras's ears.

When Sarren, who had stayed in the Galakron Basin and waited for the equipment to be in place, he was somewhat surprised when he saw Lyras coming with the caravan.

"Lyras? Aren't you supposed to be in charge of Daxalon? ”

After a few years of military career guarding the frontier, Lyras gradually faded from the impetuosity of his youth, and his temperament became a lot calmer.

Hearing Sarjan's surprised question, Lyras complained angrily, "Are you embarrassed to ask me?" Why didn't you tell me in advance about something as important as you were leaving Quel'Thalas? ”

Saryan smiled and shrugged his shoulders: "I have entrusted Sister Aurelia to relay the news to you, could it be that the person in charge of delivering the message has not arrived yet?" ”

"The messenger?"

Lyras, who was not in a happy mood, originally wanted to ask the teacher for his guilt, but after listening to Sarren's explanation, his brow suddenly furrowed.

Lyras has grown a lot compared to when he was younger, but as a person who grew up wearing open crotch pants since childhood, Saljan knew that there was a situation as soon as he saw the change in his expression, and immediately put away his smile and asked seriously, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Hmmm......"

Lyras sorted out his language before explaining solemnly: "My family and I have been in regular communication once a week, but since half a month ago...... Perhaps for a long time, the city of Sandara did not receive any more correspondence from the mainland. ”

"Not only me, but many soldiers are also eagerly waiting for letters from their families."

"Oh?" Salian touched his chin thoughtfully: "Let me ask, is Shandara completely out of touch with Silvermoon City?" ”

"Not really."

Lyras raised his hand and pointed to a bunch of large engineering machines beside him: "If there is really no connection at all, how can the machine you ordered be delivered so quickly." ”

"That's weird." Sarjan frowned slightly and lowered his head in thought: "The official contact has not been disconnected, but the correspondence between the people is missing......

Sarean was well aware of the three Windranger sisters' concern for Lyras, and one letter a week was considered restrained, and if they could, they wished they could hear Lyras say they were safe once a day.

Speaking of which, we have to mention the popularity of Arcane base stations and mobile phones.

Both the Quel'Salas Territory and the Crystal Song Forest have set up their own wireless networks.

However, due to the difficulty and time required to build the cross-sea base station, to this day, the enclave of Jingge Forest has not been connected to the grid with the mainland of Quel'Salas.

As a result, people-to-people communication between the two places still relied only on primitive correspondence.

Attention, it's just a people-to-people exchange.

The engineering machine that Salian needed was directly teleported by the special agent.

Although the Crystal Song Forest can remotely invoke the mana of the Sunwell through the magic net connected to each other, after all, it has undergone long-distance attenuation and cannot be used casually like the native, and most of the mana must be used to maintain the pocket version of the Bandi Norrell enchantment.

Considering the amount of mana required for teleportation, the city of Sandala did not open this convenient service to the entire city.

According to the forecast of the Ministry of Communications of the Cabinet, it should take 3-5 years to build a cross-sea base station from Yongge Forest to Jingge Forest to ensure the full coverage of the communication network.

The four siblings of the Windranger family don't want to use their weapons for public and private purposes, so they can only contact them once a week through letters.

Since it was only a delay in the exchange of letters from the people, this matter has not attracted much attention until now.

This has not happened before, especially in the cold winter months, because large and small icebergs often appear near the Arctic Ocean, and ships will inevitably arrive later than scheduled in order to bypass or break them.

It's March, but the cold Arctic continent of Northrend hasn't started to heat up yet, and Lyras hasn't taken that to heart before.

For such an important matter as Sarren's departure from Quel'Salas, Lyras's sisters would definitely write a letter to Sandala as soon as it happened, and it was undeserved to delay for such a long time.

Sarjan didn't rush to conclusions, and looked at Lyras, who was frowning and contemplative, with interest.

"What do you think about this? Do you think it will be an accident and an accident? ”

"No......" Lyras said with a solemn expression: "It is groundless, it may not be without a reason, if it is only delayed for a few days or even a week, it is not surprising, but more than half a month...... I think there is another reason behind this. ”

Salian nodded approvingly: "So, what do you think is the problem?" ”

Lyras shook his head: "There is not enough information, I can't be sure for the time being. ”

"But I guess......" Lyras's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression grim said, "Eighty percent of them are related to trolls." ”

The people's correspondence was delivered by regular ships, and the Naga under the command of Azhara patrolled the four seas, and it was unlikely that man-made disasters would have been encountered at sea.

If the regular ship had encountered a natural disaster, the official Shandara would have received the news from the mainland a long time ago, and it would definitely not be as calm as it is now.

In other words, the messengers must have encountered an accident after landing on the continent of Northrend.

Due to the distance across the sea, Quel'Thalas' regular vessels are docked at the Howling Fjord region, to which Kul Tiras belongs, to unload their cargo.

There are theoretically two paths from the Howling Fjord to the Crystal Song Forest, either the Grizzly Bear Hills or the Keel Wilderness.

While the Dragons have openly stated that they don't mind having a caravan of Quel'Salas go with each other for a long time, Kael'thas is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to measure.

In wartime, there are urgent needs, but usually Quel'Salas's caravans pass through the Grizzly Hills and the western territory of Zudak, guarded by the Daxalon Fortress, to the Crystal Song Forest.

Don't look at the seemingly dangerous border area at the top of the fortress, in fact, the frost trolls have been very honest in recent years, and the surroundings of the fortress are very peaceful.

After all, he had already been beaten twice by Quel'Thalas, and Malak, the Lord of Frost, didn't want to be instigated by Zandalar to continue to be beaten.

"So......" Lyras said with certainty, "the problem is Grizzly Hills, and I don't think the Bear Monster, which has always had a good relationship with the High Elves, would be a hindrance, and only the Trolls have this motive." ”

Note that Lyras is referring to the broader concept of trolls, and does not specifically refer to Dakale.

Saléan was pleased with Lyras's growth, knowing that his old friend had figured out the crux of the matter.

Although there is still a lack of sufficient evidence, Sarren, who has a lot of intelligence, hears Lyras's suspicions and immediately guesses who is behind it.

Without him, Zandalar trolls.

According to the recent information from Woking of the undercover Zudasa, the once invincible prophet Zur has completely lost power, and the ruling power of the Zendalar Empire has returned to the hands of Rastaha, the god king who has re-emerged.

In the past six months, Rastaha has been preparing for the replacement of the kings of Loa, but he has not completely let go of external infiltration.

Rastaha was more radical in foreign policy than Zur, believing that the so-called triumphant empire of the three trolls should have been swept into the dustbin of history long ago.

Zur's foreign policy was to integrate the three feudal empires and make them subordinate to Zandalar once again, at the mercy of Zandalara.

Rastaha went one step further by conquering the three major feudal empires once and for all, bringing all the trolls of Azeroth under the rule of the Zendalar Empire.

Crown Prince Tarangi disagreed with her father's overly aggressive foreign policy, but at this time she was not yet capable of swaying Rastaha's decisions, even if Princess Tarangi had joined the Zanshuli Council.

Although Rastaha can't spare his hands to fully target the three major feudal empires for the time being, there is no problem in making some small moves behind the scenes.

According to Senkin, in the past six months, Zur Grab, the capital of jungle trolls, has captured a number of spies who are secretly fanning the flames.

It is well known that the magic of trolls is very effective when used in interrogation, and no matter how hard the prisoner is, he cannot withstand the inducement of the spell from the soul.

By interrogating the spies, Senkin was quick to confirm their origins – Zandalara.
