Since the Forge of Origin was restarted, Loken, like a frightened bird, has never left Ulduar, and has been squatting in the Titan City in panic all day long.
Sarlayan did not underestimate this former king of wisdom. He ordered the Northrend branch of the Backlight Blade to set up a tight intelligence blockade network outside the Storm Peaks.
Once Loken makes any new moves, the thieves of the Backlight Blade will inform the lord of New Shandalar as quickly as possible, and then transmit the information back to the country.
Loken's sudden action had a strong purpose. The scouts he sent concentrated their superior forces to break through. They broke through the blockade before the backlight blades that dispersed the net came to support, and headed straight towards Winter Embrace.
Go in the direction of the lake.
New Sundara had reported to Sarlayan before.
The Titan Forge in Wintergrasp is already overcrowded and cannot accommodate any more people.
In order to cover up the real scene of this open-air lake, Sarlayan also specially built an illusory barrier above Wintergrasp. The scenery visible inside and outside the barrier is completely different.
"Don't panic."
Sarlayan frowned and said to Stellagosa who was a little restless: "Although it is indeed a bit unexpected, the sky will not fall yet. At most, we need to launch a plan in advance."
Stellagosa said worriedly: "But your body..."
After bestowing the blessing of life on Calia, Sarlayan's vitality has not yet fully recovered.
The previous battle against Rukhmar's zombies mainly used Rukhmar's own strength and power, and he was at best a substitute.
"It's not a big problem."
Sarlayan tried to feel the power in his body: "Now it is only 60% of the strength in its heyday, but even if Loken finds out the clues, it is impossible to immediately launch a general attack. The Creator Engine will also need some time to allocate resources even if it wants to storm the army.
"
"However, Loken's move really caught us off guard."
Sarlayan rubbed his brows and said: "We can no longer proceed step by step... I will settle the arakkoa first, and you can contact the Wandering Island Pandaren and ask Shenzhenzi to come to the Lost Islands as soon as possible to join me.
"
Stella Gosa's eyes flickered slightly: "Are you going to be hard on Shaohao?"
Sarlayan nodded helplessly: "Follow the emergency and don't have time to slowly complete the old stubborn test."
"Ask Jaina about the situation there and ask her and Luo Ning to close the net immediately."
"Dalaran does not need to send people to directly participate in this battle, but I hope they can drive the floating city to Crystalsong Forest as a frontline transfer station to provide necessary logistical support for the war at any time."
…
Loken's unexpected actions disrupted Sarlayan's originally planned schedule.
Fortunately, emergency plans exist just for times like this. After all, no one can guarantee that the plan will go as smoothly as expected, and accidents are unpredictable.
Under Sarlayan's comfort, little Xingxing, who was a little panicked, quickly regained her composure and started to act according to his instructions.
Considering that he would go to Pandaria again in the future, before Sharlayan left the Wandering Island last time, he asked Stellagosa to leave the teleportation coordinates at the Five Morning Temple on the Wandering Island.
No matter where Shenzhenzi travels, Stellagosa, who has officially entered the demigod realm, can be teleported to the Wandering Island immediately.
Sarlayan was lucky. Shen Zhenzi, who was traveling all over the world, happened to swim near the port of Estorante in the north of Kalimdor.
According to Stellagosa's prediction, it will only take about half a month for Shenzhenzi to go south to the Lost Islands to meet with Sarlayan.
The Dark Portal is located in the Cursed Land in the southern part of the Eastern Continent. It is not difficult to get out of the Cursed Land, which is close to the sea, but it will not take half a month to reach the Lost Islands across the sea.
The huge number of arakkoa requires a large number of ships to transport, and it is inevitable to call for help from the sea kingdom of Kul Tiras.
Sarlayan did not intend to follow the large army of arakkoa all the way. He took Ansu, Rukhmar and some elites of the two factions of arakkoa to go ahead and crossed the sea directly to Dudu through the portal opened by Stellagosa.
Lonthar.
Guyir, who was busy exploring new lands, heard the news and hurried over in person.
As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
If Sarlayan hadn't made peace with him, and Rukhmar and Ansu had helped to appease them, facing the orcs who had invaded the Arak Peaks, the elite avengers who followed Sarlayan would certainly not have been so peaceful.
Go'el is a new generation of orcs born in Azeroth, but he is studious and has heard from the shaman mentor Drek'Thar about the crazy invasion of the old tribe in Draenor.
Facing the hostile looks of the arakkoa elites, Go'el, as the chief of the tribe, could only accept it with a wry smile. He also knew that this was a sin that the orcs could not escape.
As compensation, Go'el offered to arrange for ships to transport the arakkoa to the Lost Islands offshore east of Kalimdor.
"That's not necessary."
Sarlayan patted the thick shoulder of Go'il, who was becoming more mature and steady: "I have arranged additional helpers... Look, they are here."
Following Sarlayan's finger, Go'el turned his head and looked to the northwest of Durotar, in the direction of Mount Hyjal.
Rukhma was not just having fun in the Emerald Dream some time ago. She made many friends in the dream world, and the one she had the best relationship with was undoubtedly the demigod messenger Avina, who is also the Mother of Birds.
After returning to Azeroth, Rukhma used Sharlayan, which was directly connected to the Emerald Dream, as a signal relay station, and asked his friend Aviana for help in advance.
Of course Aviana, who was also willing to make friends, would not refuse. She immediately arranged for a group of large bird relatives to come to Durotar's seaside to help.
Sarlayan, who still had important things to attend to, hurriedly said goodbye to Go'el, who was also burdened with other chores, transformed into a new incarnation of Rukhmar, and escorted the arakkoa to ride these large birds across the sea to the Lost Islands.
After watching Sarlayan and his entourage leave, Go'el had a thoughtful look on his face.
"Counterattack on Ulduar... Although Sarlayan said that we don't have to personally participate in the war, it is not easy to encounter such an international event. If we want to further integrate the tribe into Azeroth, we still have to make some gestures.
OK."
Thrall's advisor Eitrigg nodded in agreement: "Durotar lacks everything except all kinds of ores."
"Since Archduke Deep Shadow has clearly mentioned that manufacturing Titan creations requires a large amount of ore, we can just take this opportunity to provide them with a large amount."
Go'ir said approvingly: "Very good, Eitrigg, I'll leave this matter to you."
"In addition, increase intelligence support for Northrend. We need to know the trends on the front line at all times."
"Yes! Great Chief."
…
The Lost Islands are not far from the continental shelf of Kalimdor. Sarlayan and his party quickly found the right location, and a large number of large raptors landed in the primitive jungle of one of the islands.
Such an obvious movement would naturally attract the attention of the local indigenous people. Many short Pygmies rushed out of the forest with strange screams, trying to make a surprise attack before the intruders had a firm foothold.
However this is of no use.
Long before landing, Sarlayan warned all the arakkoa to be careful of sneak attacks by the local indigenous people after landing.
As soon as the Skettis arakkoa landed, they cast spells together, setting up a dark sky near the landing site.
All Pygmies who enter the canopy barrier will immediately lose their vision, with only darkness in front of them.
This spell is not really powerful enough to change the sky. It is essentially just a large illusion barrier.
However, for the Pygmies who have not yet formed a civilization, this magic is indeed very effective.
It suddenly became dark in an instant, and the Pygmies who still worshiped and feared the power of nature were frightened and panicked on the spot, running around like headless flies.
The arakkoa people did not kill them ruthlessly. They adopted Sarlayan's suggestion and captured all the invading Pygmies and used them as bargaining chips in negotiations with their chief.
This was not the first time that Sharlayan saw Pygmies. He had dealt with the local Pygmies during his trip to Uldum a few years ago.
However, what surprised Sharlayan was that the Pygmies of the Lost Islands were completely different from their counterparts in Uldum.
The Pygmies in Uldum have already learned to speak. Although the accent is a bit strange, it is indeed the popular Titan language in the area.
As for those in the Lost Islands... Sarlayan couldn't understand what they were trying to express with their strange screams.
In barrage terms, this is the difference between raw and mature fandom in their perception.
...The Fan mentioned here is not the Fan drama that some people immediately think of, but the Fan people, that is, the barbarians.
