Through the intelligence provided by Windsor, Sharlayan learned that the Kingdom of Stormwind and the Gurubashi Empire were in a tense confrontation on the border of Stranglethorn Vale.
This information really surprised Sarlayan.
In the current timeline, because Onyxia's fate has undergone tremendous changes, the series of characters and events related to her are naturally completely different.
There was no Black Dragon Princess hiding in Stormwind City to plot her conspiracy, and King Varian Wrynn did not suffer the split in his soul that he did in the original history.
His queen Tiffin is still alive and well, and the little prince Anduin is also growing up healthily.
The leader of the Stonemasons Brotherhood, Edwin Van Cleef, accepted Mathias Shore's invitation and joined MI7. Naturally, the Defias Brotherhood that wreaked havoc in the Western Wilderness in the original history would not appear.
Varian, who received Lothar's careful education since childhood, has a sophisticated and steady governing style. He has not experienced the life of a gladiator who fought for his life every day, and his temper is far less violent than in the original history.
In the same way, as a troll cultured man who received Zandalari education, Sen'jin, the current head of state of the Gurubashi Empire, is not an impulsive and warlike person.
Before Sharlayan left Azeroth for Draenor, he paid attention to the overall situation in the Eastern Kingdoms.
After ten years of cultivation, the Storm Kingdom, which once destroyed a country, gradually regained its strength.
With Elwynn Forest as the center, the influence of the Kingdom of Stormwind gradually spread to the surrounding areas.
Red Crest Mountain, Dusk Forest and Western Wilds, these three areas were originally the core territories of the Kingdom of Stormwind.
After the senior leaders of the Stormwind Kingdom fled north, the entire Stormwind Kingdom was devastated by the crazy old tribe. It can be said that every room in the Kingdom was empty.
After the old tribe was defeated and the Kingdom of Stormwind was restored, under Varian's diligent rule, the Redcrest Mountains and Duskwood were brought back under the kingdom's control, but the Western Wilderness remained very desolate.
Westfall was once the largest granary of the Kingdom of Stormwind, and it was originally called the Fertile Wilds of the West.
Putting aside whether it can be done, if the old tribe wanted to capture the entire eastern kingdom, sufficient logistical supplies were indispensable.
Therefore, it was natural that the grain-producing base of the Western Fertile Fields was targeted by the old tribes.
After a period of frantic labor-intensive efforts, as well as the evil pollution spread intentionally or unintentionally by the Shadow Council, the once fertile and vast granary has turned into the desolate and desolate western wilderness it is today.
Considering that the Burning Steppes farther north is the territory of the Dark Iron Dwarves, and that the Blasted Lands and Swamp of Sorrows lack development value, Varian will inevitably focus its next development on the Western Wilds.
Therefore, before Sharlayan left Azeroth, he did not think that Varian would expand his territory to Stranglethorn Vale at this time.
Coincidentally, the Darkspear clan, which has just secured its position as the leader of the Gurubashi clan, still has many internal problems to deal with.
At least before ensuring the capture of the entire Stranglethorn Vale, Sen'jin, a far-sighted man, should not hastily offend the powerful neighbor of the Kingdom of Stormwind.
But this damn thing really happened. Anyone with a little bit of brains can see that there must be a third-party force behind it.
It is precisely with this in mind that both the Stormwind Kingdom and the Gurubashi showed great restraint during the border confrontation.
However, as old neighbors for thousands of years, the two countries have always been at odds with each other, and both sides have accumulated a lot of hatred in their past lives.
Varian's grandfather, King Baratheon, died at the hands of a jungle troll. This blood feud has not been forgotten even in Varian's generation.
Even though Varian and Sen'jin have repeatedly banned active impulses, the smell of gunpowder in the border areas is getting stronger day by day.
If this continues, sooner or later both sides will clash.
Neither the leaders of Stormwind Kingdom nor the Gurubashi want to see this happen.
However, as the saying goes, public opinion is difficult to deal with. If the two sides really cannot control their anger and start fighting, they may not be able to shake hands and make peace with just a few explanations.
Before receiving the report of the field investigation, Salayan did not dare to jump to conclusions.
However, according to the analysis of Sarlayan and Onyxia, the remnants of the Gurubashi clan and the Atalai priests who believe in Haka are behind this incident.
Sharlayan, who was temporarily unable to leave Draenor, asked Windsor to bring a letter to Valeera, who was staying in the territory.
Before a lot of troubles in Draenor were over, Valeela took the order and led a team of about a hundred Backlight Blade thieves to quickly take a boat south.
With the decline of the Vilebranch Trolls and the Witherwood Trolls, the Hinterlands fell completely into the hands of the Alliance.
With the active cooperation of many small forest troll clans, including Maltooth, Maltooth Port near the sea in the eastern Hinterlands has developed rapidly.
With the Hinterlands and Notheron captured, the east coast golden route from Eversong Forest to Stranglethorn Vale has been completely opened.
Under the escort of Quel'Thalas' offshore patrol fleet, Valeera and her party, riding a high-speed ship, quickly landed on the east coast of the Blasted Land, and then walked north into the Swamp of Sorrows.
Before the return of Sarlayan and the others, Valeera had already obtained some information from the local area. She also suppressed her inner dissatisfaction and launched in-depth cooperation with the green dragon headed by Melinsela.
The result... can only be said to be as expected.
Since the new tribe has not officially returned to Draenor, Guyin has not yet established a tribal stronghold in the two alliance hinterlands of the Blasted Land and Swamp of Sorrows until now.
Swamp of Sorrows, as the name suggests.
The environment in this muddy swamp area is very bad, and there are few places to stay.
The Kingdom of Stormwind established a small stronghold called Farmland Shelter in a relatively dry area in the northeastern part of the swamp near the mountain.
The green dragon lives by the lakeside closer to the Atakah Temple and keeps watch.
Melinsela and Valeela were competing from a distance, each mobilizing their subordinates to explore the entire Swamp of Sorrows, and then tacitly exchanged information with each other to find out and fill in the gaps.
According to the green dragon, Jindo did appear in the Swamp of Sorrows, but that was already a few months before the Battle of the Hinterlands broke out.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The scouts of the Backlight Blade are currently carefully exploring the Atal'Haka Temple, which is mostly submerged in the lake.
Unexpectedly, but within reason, their exploration progress was very slow and they encountered great resistance in the temple.
On the contrary, this can show from a positive perspective that Atalai mobilized a large number of manpower to protect the temple, and there must be some ulterior conspiracy hidden in this underwater building.
The jealous Valeera doesn't like Melinsela, a competitor who takes the initiative to deliver goods to her door. But after all, she grew up with Sarlayan, and her behavior style has been greatly influenced by the person next to her. She knows how to
The overall situation is of paramount importance.
Even though she didn't like it personally, Valeera still worked with the green dragons to investigate and produced a lot of useful information.
When Sarlayan landed at the Green Dragon's lakeside camp just west of Temple Lake, before the smiling Melinsela came up to say hello, Valeera, who had reunited after a long separation, took the first step to seize the position and pounced into Sarlayan.
In Leian's arms.
"Well?"
After all, they are already an old couple, and the relationship between Sarlayan and Valeela has long since left the passion stage and entered a more lasting and stable stage. Valeela has not shown such clear possessiveness for a long time.
Of course Onyxia and Jaina, who had similar stances, knew why she did this, but they didn't say anything. They just looked at the green dragon princess with a smile from the corner of their eyes, whose face seemed to be neutral.
Sharlayan didn't know if Melinsela was really as calm as she appeared. He had no intention of treating the green dragon princess as more than a friend.
Sarlayan, who has a high emotional intelligence, responded to Valeera's hug with understanding enthusiasm. If it weren't for the fact that there were more than a dozen green dragons nearby eating melons and watching the show, Valeera would have taken a bite to say goodbye.
Feelings.
Sarlayan's sensible response made the jealous Valeera feel a little more at ease. She took the initiative to pat her man on the back and pushed him towards Melinsela, who still had a formulaic smile on her face.
However, during this process, Valeela did not forget to use her eyes to signal Sarlayan to pay attention to his propriety.
'Hey~ What an awkward little squirrel.'
For the sake of Yinsera, the green dragon queen who had helped him many times, Sarlayan could not turn away from Melinthela. He shook hands with Melinthela politely but slightly distantly to express his friendship.
"I haven't seen you for a while, Her Royal Highness the Green Dragon Princess."
The smile on Melinsela's face became obviously more natural: "Indeed, did your trip to Draenor go well? Also, you don't need to call me princess..."
Before Melinsela could finish speaking, Sarlayan, who had already guessed the second half of the content, suddenly changed his attitude and brought the topic onto the right track.
"The situation is urgent, let's stop any unnecessary pleasantries."
"Your Highness, could you please explain in detail what is the current situation of Atalai and the remnants of the Gurubashi? What are they planning to do next?"
