Chapter 542 Changes in the situation on the front line
Sarlayan has explored in advance, and the Shining Plains can indeed produce a large amount of salt.
Unfortunately, the power of the high elves in the continent of Kalimdor is very weak.
If you want to grab a piece of land in Thousand Needles, you need to face the Garak Centaur clan who migrated here from the Desolate Land, as well as the overwhelming birdmen and wyverns.
Quel'Thalas, which is close to the sea and eats from the sea, has no shortage of salt, so there is no need to go to war for a shining plain.
The tauren are quite interested in this salt field, but they have been fighting with the centaurs for a long time, and their miserable population has not recovered yet.
Establishing a southern seaport in Tanaris to maintain sea trade with the Eastern Kingdoms is the limit. The tauren really cannot spare the manpower to further expand their territory.
There are only a few powerful native races in Kalimdor. The tauren are unable to take action, the night elves are not interested, the quilboars are clueless, and the furbolgs are too far away.
All the major races are unable to take action. In the end, the salt field will probably fall into the hands of the goblins who are looking for business opportunities all over the world.
The Shining Plains is very close to the entrance to Tanaris, and the goblin city Gadgetzan mentioned by the barrage will be established sooner or later.
After sorting out the future development of the situation in Uldum and Tanaris, Sharlayan touched his chin thoughtfully.
"Perhaps it's time to formally contact the Hotsand Consortium."
…
With Ptolemy officially ascending the throne as the new pharaoh, the turmoil in Uldum finally subsided.
The three major clans have jointly signed a peace agreement, and will then enter a period of relatively peaceful development, each of which will recover the energy lost in the war.
After preliminary negotiations on trade cooperation with the Tol'vir, the four of Sarlayan returned to the Hall of Origin in advance and waited for Azadas to complete the overhaul of the Origin Furnace.
In the last few days, Sarlayan did not wait boringly. He entrusted Stellagosa to convey information to Silvermoon City and the Demonic Nexus, so as to understand the latest trends on the front line and at home.
Estellagosa's current strength is not yet able to open a long-distance cross-sea portal to send people there, but it is still no problem to just send some small notes.
The smaller the mass of the teleported object, the less magic power needs to be consumed.
The battle situation on the Northrend front line has not changed much, and the steel army on the northern front is still standing still.
However, according to Bode Linyu, the lord who stayed behind in Crystalsong Forest, the Iron Vrykul and Iron Dwarves have recently begun to get ready to take action, perhaps because they cannot wait any longer due to the changes in the situation on the eastern battlefield.
On the Zul'Drak battlefield on the eastern front, Sylvanas still firmly guards the city wall that has been reinforced many times.
The Drakkari trolls have never been able to break through this solid defense line. They have significantly reduced the frequency of attacks in recent times, and they seem to be planning something secretly.
The subtle changes in the situation on the front line made Saraian feel a little uneasy.
After leaving Northrend for more than half a year, the operation to move reinforcements is nearing completion.
However, as the saying goes, a person who travels a hundred miles is only half a mile, and things are most likely to go wrong at the last moment when he is close to success.
Sharlayan didn't think that Loken would wait forever. He had already guessed what the evil plan of those old men in Zandalari was for Drakkari.
Four words, retreat to advance.
The fiercer the fight between the Drakkari trolls and the high elf-furbolg alliance, the less likely it is that Loken, who is sitting on the mountain and watching the fight, will take action himself.
On the contrary, if the war between the high elves and the Drakkari trolls shows signs of winding down, Loken will consider whether to take the initiative to further confuse the situation in Northrend.
"The rain is coming."
Sarlayan rubbed his eyebrows with a headache: "Where is the mainland? What did His Majesty Kael'thas say?"
Valeera, who was responsible for interpreting the encrypted intelligence, sighed helplessly: "'Keep the status quo,' His Majesty Kael'thas is still busy liquidating those old nobles who are not smart."
"In order to prevent them from jumping over the wall, the four legions must stay in Silvermoon City and cannot be sent to Northrend for support."
Sarlayan smiled bitterly and said: "In other words, the war in Northrend can only rely on the existing local army?"
Valeera nodded: "There is also Kul Tiras who is also in the North."
"oh?"
Sarlayan raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Delin broke through the defense line of the Dragonflayer Vrykul?"
"Yes, but we have only initially opened up the march route, and have not yet completely suppressed those barbaric Vrykul."
Utgard Castle, the home base of the Dragonflayer Vrykul, is located in the very center of Howling Fjord. As long as this strong fortress is not captured, the threat of the Dragonflayer Vrykul will always exist.
Moreover, Dai Lin recently delivered some bad news to Xinshan Dara.
Perhaps the power of the Kul Tiran Marines was too strong, and the dragon-slayer vrykul, who could not resist it, began to awaken their ancient compatriots who were sleeping in Utgar's castle.
"Hiss~"
Sarlayan took a breath of cold air: "What the hell..."
"Inform Daelin! Ask him to send someone to Alebron in the northwest corner of Howling Fjord to check the situation."
"Alebron?" Valeera asked doubtfully, "Is there anything worth paying attention to there?"
Sarlayan said with a solemn expression: "The number of ancient Vrykul sleeping in Alebron is far greater than that of Utgard Castle. Even... the ancient Vrykul king Ymiron is sleeping there."
"ha?!"
The information Sharlayan provided shocked both Valeera and Stellagosa.
When traveling in Northrend before, Sharlayan had told them the story of King Ymiron.
This ancient king was an out-and-out vrykul hero, at least in the eyes of the vrykul.
Today's Dragonflayer Vrykul are still in disarray, driven to pieces by Kul Tiras' marines. Once Ymiron is revived... the consequences will be disastrous.
Stella Gosa: "I will send a message to Lord Lin Yu and ask him to send a messenger to tell Dai Lin!"
Sarlayan looked up uneasily at the top of the pyramid in the Hall of Origin: "I hope Azadas can complete the overhaul within the scheduled time. Our time is getting tighter."
…
Azadas is a real person and never likes to brag.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Half a month is half a month, exactly 15 days, not one day too much, not one day too little.
"nailed it!"
Instructing the four guardians who had been standing by to call Sarlayan and others, Azadas confidently slapped his chest and said: "Start restarting, I promise there will be no problem!"
Sarlayan believed that Azadas would not lie with his words. This guardian of the earth had proven his character with practical actions.
"Then I'll start."
Sarlayan, who was impatient to wait, rolled up his sleeves and slapped him with a palm.
"The authority verification is passed, the great master Lai, please give the order."
Sarlayan took a deep breath, and Azadas patted his shoulder encouragingly.
"Restart the Forge of Origin!"
"The order has been received, the origin furnace restarts 30, 29... 3, 2, 1, start."
"Buzz~"
As Sarlayan's order was issued, the hum of mechanical operation began to be heard from the underground of the Hall of Origin.
"boom!"
When the Forge of Origin reaches normal operating power, the entire Uldum area can see the pillar of light rising into the sky from the pyramid of the Hall of Origin.
"The energy is being transmitted in the Hall of Origin, the power is...30%."
"The defense system is activated and the structural colossus is being charged."
"...Defense system?"
Sarlayan's eyebrows twitched: "So, we broke into the Hall of Origin when the defense system was down?"
Azadas smiled and spread his hands: "What else? You don't think the Hall of Origin is so easy to break through, do you?"
The dormant Titan creations lying throughout the Hall of Origins were awakened one after another, and the leader Titan creations such as Anur and Anrafat successively took these subordinates under their respective names.
At this point, the comprehensive defense system of the Hall of Origin has truly returned to normal.
If it was in this high-intensity defensive state from the beginning, even with the help of Azadas, the Titan Guardian, it would not be that easy to break into the hall.
In the cold continent of Northrend, the Hall of Lightning where the King of Wisdom, Loken, resides.
Loken is assessing the war situation in Northrend and carefully considering whether to take the initiative to attack the high elves occupying Crystalsong Forest.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart, and subconsciously raised his head to look in the direction of the Kalimdor continent.
"This is……"
After clearing his thoughts, a look of horror gradually appeared on Loken's face.
"The Origin Forge has been restarted? Impossible! Without Lai's authority, who can..."
"Wait, isn't it?"
Loken's face was filled with uncertainty: "Lei is back?"
"No, if he really comes back, he should return to Ulduar as soon as possible to check the situation. So...who is it?"
"That... Lord Loken?"
An Iron Vrykul general under Loken asked cautiously: "Are we going to send troops to Crystalsong Forest?"
Loken tried to calm down and said calmly: "Let's wait and see what happens. I have a bad feeling."
"Biagri, send scouts to the Uldum region in southern Kalimdor. Within a month, I will receive the latest information about the Forge of Origin."
