Based on the information provided by the Backlight Blade that arrived in advance, Sarlayan had some basic understanding of the situation of the furbolgs.
Furbolgs are different from the quilboars who have fallen for themselves. Even without the guidance of Ursoc and Ursol, they still rely on their own hands and work hard to live a good life every day.
The furbolgs' civilization development is relatively backward, and they still adopt the clan system. They are at the same level as the orcs' civilization, and slightly behind the Drakkari trolls.
The chief of the furbolgs may not necessarily have strong governance capabilities, but he must be the one with the strongest fighting ability in the clan. He will definitely lead the charge in battle, and the death rate is really not low.
According to Atla, during the time when the Backlight Blade came to Northrend, the Frostclaw and Redfang clans had changed two and three chiefs respectively, which shows the intensity of the war.
The chief controls the most resources within the group, but at the same time he also faces the greatest pressure.
In contrast, the shamans within the ethnic group are relatively stable.
Unless in the final stage when desperate efforts are necessary, shamans usually do not appear on the front line of the battlefield. Instead, they lead spellcasters to provide fire support and healing assistance to the warriors in the front from a relatively safe position.
Someone in the barrage jokingly said, "The shaman is made of iron and the chief is made of flowing water."
The words were rough or not, Sarlayan thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case.
Due to the high mobility of chiefs, as the second-in-command within the clan and the spiritual leader of the entire clan, the shaman holds considerable authority.
In order to avoid being discovered by the Drakkari trolls of the high elves' arrival, Sharlayan did not plan to transform back into human form on the battlefield.
"Bah!"
The transformed eagle of Sarlayan made a clear cry in the high sky, folded its wings and swooped towards the frontline battlefield.
"Um?"
The furbolg shaman and the Drakkari troll witch doctor are both far away from the frontline battlefield, and can observe changes in the situation on the battlefield from a relatively objective perspective.
The eagle burst into the battlefield and aroused the alert of both sides. This raptor of unknown origin soon made its position clear with practical actions.
The gripping strength and weight-bearing strength of the eagle are amazing, and it can pick up prey that is much larger than its own weight.
Sarlayan once witnessed an eagle grabbing a large wild wolf, and then dropped it from the air to death, and then began to happily enjoy the food.
"ah!"
The sharp eagle claws randomly selected a lucky troll. The Drakkari troll, which was grabbed by the shoulders and caught in the air, could not even raise its hands to fight back, and could only struggle in vain in the air.
"Piaji!"
The troll that was thrown from a high altitude fell to the ground and turned into an indescribable mass of flesh. The scene was extremely bloody.
'Alas!'
Sarlayan himself was disgusted by the bloody mass of flesh, and imitating the way an eagle hunted was still not suitable for him.
It dived towards the ground again, and when it was about to land, the eagle turned into a huge giant bear under the attention of soldiers from both sides.
"Roar!!"
A ferocious roar resounded through the forest, and the trolls who were closer were stunned by the sonic attack.
The old shaman of the Red-tusked Furbolg noticed the runes engraved on the giant bear's chest, and excitement suddenly appeared on his old face.
"This is... the mark of the great god Ursoc!"
It is natural that there will be the Mark of Ursoc. Sharlayan's giant bear transformation was inherited from Ursoc's son, and his name is Ursoc Avatar.
A giant bear suspected to be a descendant of Ursoc appeared on the battlefield, which greatly boosted the morale of the furbolg side.
Sarlayan is not just here to be a totem and mascot. He relies on his huge body, tough fur and sharp claws to rampage unscrupulously on the battlefield.
The defensive power of the legendary giant bear is very amazing. Most of the frost troll's weapons will automatically slide away if they hit the fur, unable to cause effective damage to Sarlayan.
Those troll witch doctors who hide behind and cast spells are more annoying, but these guys are targeted by furbolg shamans, and they don't have much free time to take special care of Sharlayan.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the commander of Dhakale immediately issued an order to withdraw the troops.
The frost trolls did not flee in a hurry, but maintained a relatively complete formation and withdrew from the battlefield in an orderly manner.
Some hot-headed furbolg still wanted to pursue the victory, but were persuaded to come back by the chiefs who had calmed down.
After the battle, chiefs and shamans from various furbolg clans gathered excitedly around the giant bear whose fur was stained with a lot of blood.
Two of Ursoc's heirs still live in Grizzly Hills, their names are Orthorn and Cotian.
It's a pity that these two heirs were not able to inherit Ursok's powerful fighting power, and Ursok's iconic runes can't even be seen on their chests.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, this situation is not surprising.
Ursok's fighting style is extremely brave. He usually relies on his strong physical fitness to gallop across the battlefield and is unstoppable.
His most outstanding descendants naturally followed suit... and then most of them died on the tragic battlefield of the ancient war.
Orthorn and Kotian are the two most awkward among Ursoc's descendants, but ironically, they survived the war successfully and continued to maintain the furbolg's devout belief in the giant bear demigod brothers.
.
Suddenly seeing the return of the giant bear that inherited Ursoc's rune, the furbolgs were naturally surprised.
When the wisest shamans calmed down, they finally discovered something was wrong.
The fighting styles of the demigod brothers Ursoc and Ursol are completely different.
Ursol is a powerful spellcaster, and most of his patrons are shamans.
Ursoc is a pure warrior and should not be able to transform into a Druid spell.
"This is not the place to talk."
Sarlayan, who turned into a giant bear, said angrily: "Let's go back to the camp first. Don't let the troll scouts follow us."
…
In the tents of the furbolg frontline military camp, the chiefs and shamans from various furbolg clans looked a little disappointed.
The Descendants of Ursoc they thought were not the men sent to support them by the great god Ursoc, but a high elf who claimed to be from Quel'Thalas, a descendant of the high elves.
Many top furbolg leaders felt strange about this.
Doesn't it mean that the upper elves look down on druids? Why do some of the upper class members of their tribe take up the "mud-legged profession" of druid part-time, and also master the extremely rare ability of Ursoc's incarnation?
"That's a long story."
Sharlayan laughed: "The high elves are indeed the descendants of the upper elves, but Quel'Thalas is not a continuation of the Dark Night Empire, and will not follow the foreign policy of Queen Azshara's reign."
Azshara is known as the Chosen Queen. She is also the most powerful and perfect mortal in the history of Azeroth. Her flawless appearance and figure are sought after and worshiped by countless night elves.
Before Azshara's actions were completely exposed, even the night elf commoners who had serious class conflicts with the highborne were unwilling to believe that their queen was actively colluding with the Burning Legion.
When Curtalos Ravencrest of Black Crow Castle first raised his troops, his slogan was to clear the emperor's side and get rid of Xavius' advisor who bewitched the queen and a group of treacherous ministers who deceived the public.
After the collapse of the earth, the night elves changed their lives, with the High Priest of Elune and the leader of the Druid sect taking charge.
Thanks to the popular propaganda of Tyrande and Malfurion, Queen Azshara's reputation became increasingly bad, and she gradually fell from the altar in the eyes of the night elves.
Azshara is arrogant and narcissistic. She only cares about the people under her rule, and her attitude towards all foreigners is almost the same.
Contempt.
Even the giant troll empire with its glorious history is not looked upon by Azshara, and in fact, she does have the confidence to do so.
During Azshara's reign, many conflicts, large and small, broke out between the Dark Night Empire and trolls around the world.
The night elves were invincible under the infinite energy provided by the Well of Eternity. The trolls never won a victory on the battlefield, and their sphere of influence was repeatedly compressed by the Night Empire.
Out of contempt for the barbaric and ignorant race of trolls, Azshara did not intend to completely destroy them.
In the end, with the Zandalar clan's active begging for peace, the Night Empire and the Troll Empire reached an agreement that the trolls considered very humiliating.
The trolls will now cease their incursions into the Night Empire's territory, and in return, Azshara allows the Zandalari to continue to retain their sacred mountain of Zuldazar under the Queen's grace.
Note that the words "allowed" and "under the Queen's grace" have a condescending meaning that is completely beyond words.
This is also the reason why the trolls headed by Zandalar have always hated the descendants of the elves.
Now, Azshara, who once dominated all of Azeroth, has completely lost power. How can the trolls who suffered all kinds of humiliation at her hands still endure it?
This is the same attitude towards all the trolls that have been favored by our ancestors, let alone the furbolgs.
This is why the greymaw furbolgs have always shown little interest in the kindness shown by the high elves.
They couldn't believe that those high-class elves with such arrogant chins would lower their heads to look at them, subconsciously thinking that there was some conspiracy behind what the other party wanted.
