Regarding the detailed discussion of the alliance agreement, Saryan is not a professional diplomat, and it is not his turn to intervene in this aspect.
In the past, when venturing outside, relevant tasks were left to Valeela to take care of when she came, such as the previous alliance with the Tol'vir.
Things are different this time.
New Shandalar City was nearby. After the news of the victory in the war was sent back to Crystalsong Forest, Bode Linyu immediately forwarded the intelligence from the front line to the Sun King and cabinet ministers who were waiting eagerly in Silvermoon City.
A war involving Sharlayan has never failed so far. Kael'thas and the cabinet ministers all have high confidence in the Marquis of Deep Shadow. Foreign Minister Calpurnia even started preparing for the visit to Adroni in advance.
Rube gets ready.
Sure enough, Sarlayan lived up to the trust of the elders and successfully won this first military conflict with the Scourge.
While New Shandalar City and Silvermoon City were in jubilation, Sarlayan was not very satisfied with the victory in this war.
One of the important reasons why Sharlayan is willing to assist Azjol Nerub in the war against the undead is to find out the combat effectiveness of the Scourge and let the soldiers of Quel'Thalas understand their tactics and characteristics in advance.
However, today's natural disaster undead are far from reaching their peak, the psychic snowball has not yet rolled, the composition of the arms is unreasonable, there are too few types of soldiers, and there is a serious lack of air power.
This time the battle was fought underground, and it was not convenient for air units to be used underground. Quel'Thalas did not invest in air units such as dragon eagles and giant eagles, let alone the Red Dragon Knights, who were the aces of air combat.
According to the barrage, the original historical Scourge would have aerial units such as gargoyles, banshees and frost bone dragons.
As a member of the dragon clan, Sharlayan could not allow Ner'zhul the opportunity to dig up the dragon clan's ancestral graves.
After Sindragosa's remains were moved back to Dragonblight for burial, Wyrmrest Temple launched an operation at the request of Malygos.
The five-color dragon clan worked together to dig out all the dragon clans that were shot down to Icecrown Glacier by the dragon soul in the ancient war, and brought their corpses back to the Dragonblight Wilderness one by one.
Ner'zhul saw the actions of Wyrmrest Temple in his eyes, and felt pain in his heart. This was one of the powerful combat forces that he had long admired.
It's a pity...pop! The happiness is gone just like that.
Without the large number of resentful dragon bones buried under Icecrown Glacier, the Frost Bone Dragon unit can be eliminated from the Scourge's expectations.
Banshees are a special type of soldier created by the Scourge by twisting the souls of high elf women. The most typical representative is Sylvanas, the Banshee King.
Sylvanas is still alive and well today.
The other half of Sharlayan's bloodline is a high elf. He cannot sit back and watch Sylvanas die in the battle with the Scourge, and he will not let a deformed collection of resentment like the banshee appear.
Then, the only aerial unit that the Scourge Legion might acquire is the Gargoyle.
The most damning thing is that the gargoyles are not an original unit of the Scourge, but an imported product obtained by the Dread Lord from Revendreth in the Shadow Realm. Ner'zhul just copied the gourd and produced it according to the drawings.
"Zombies, skeletons, ghouls, cursed cult psychics, crypt demons and undead vrykul have all been seen."
Sharlayan said thoughtfully to the barrage: "It is basically impossible for the banshee and frost bone dragon to appear again, but the Scourge Legion still has gargoyles, lichs, abominations, and the ace of the death knight who have not yet entered the battlefield.
"
"I hope that the next time they fight against the Scourge, the soldiers of Quel'Thalas will not take it lightly because of this victory."
"The current Scourge Legion is far from complete."
[Actually, it’s not bad. Many of the units you mentioned were created by Ner’zhul based on Kel’Thuzad’s advice. 】
[With Kel'Thuzad providing internal intelligence on the Scourge from time to time, detailed information on these undead units will flow into Quel'Thalas sooner or later, so there is no need to worry so much.]
[That’s what I say, but people’s hearts are the hardest to predict. Sarlayan’s worries are also justified. Prepare in advance so that you won’t be in a hurry when you actually encounter a war. 】
[The first conflict with the Scourge Legion has come to an end now. I am concerned about another thing now.]
Sarlayan raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's the matter?"
[Yog-Saron and Ner'zhul, these two unlucky guys who encountered Waterloo at the same time, wonder if they will complain about each other's incompetence, will the previous plastic cooperation be interrupted, and will they turn against each other? 】
"This..." Sarlayan lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "Yog-Saron and Ner'zhul are both people with deep personalities, and they shouldn't fall out over this little friction."
"……I guess so."
…
Due to the relevant preparations made in advance, Calpurnia rushed to New Shandalar the day after the war ended and began to discuss alliance matters with the diplomatic envoy appointed by Anub'arak. Vesina also joined the envoy
in the team's ranks.
Just as the turmoil underground in Northrend subsided, the war in Howling Fjord began.
The two warring parties are the Kul Tiran Expeditionary Force and the Dragon Raider Vrykul led by Yin Milon.
After a long period of internal fighting, Yin Milong unexpectedly killed the current king of the Dragon Raider Vrykul and took back the throne that belonged to him.
After personally leading the native reinforcements to Howling Fjord, Dailin did not give Yin Milon a chance to recuperate, and took the initiative to attack the Dragon Raider Vrykul.
Having just won a difficult civil war in Utgard Castle, there are still many things within the Dragon Raider Vrykul that Yin Milon needs to worry about one by one.
Just as he was frantically selecting internal talents loyal to him, Kul Tiras' army came back with reinforcements at the worst possible moment.
Yin Milon originally planned to take advantage of the domestic affairs and take advantage of it, catching Kul Tiras off guard.
However, Dai Lin moved faster than him and took the opportunity before Yin Milong took action.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The ancient Dragon Raider Vrykul had a navy, but through the historical changes of generations, they gradually lost control of the sea and could only shrink back.
Inland.
Without the need for a naval battle, the Kul Tiras Expeditionary Force's maritime supplies can be more stably ensured, allowing them to attack Utgard Castle without any worries.
However, as Sharlayan joked privately.
The people of Kul Tiran are like dragons on the sea, but become worms on the shore.
Although he clearly had an advantage in terms of total strength, Dailin was still unable to capture the heavily guarded Utgard Castle. The two sides fought repeatedly at the entrance of the castle, but could not enter the inner city.
Originally, Thalayan wanted to go to Howling Fjord to check out the situation and help Daelin.
At this time, Anub'arak gave Sarlayan a small gift in his own name, disrupting his plans.
"This thing...where did you get it?"
Sarlayan repeatedly played with the metal pendant in his hand that exuded a dull gray light. He had a hunch that the material of the pendant was the special product of the Shadow Realm required to sublimate Quel'Sera - soul steel.
Anub'arak said without hesitation: "After I killed a powerful undead natural disaster, this thing fell from his body."
"I heard that you are looking for soul steel. After searching for the knowledge left by Azjol Nerub from ancient times, our scholars believe that this pendant is made of soul steel. Its raw material is a kind of yin iron.
Mine’s specialty ore from the Shadowlands.”
"Is it ironite..."
Sarlayan glanced at the barrage subconsciously, and as expected saw many messages floating over.
[Oops, it turns out to be Yin Iron. I’m familiar with this stuff.]
[But how is Yin Iron made into Soul Steel? Who in Azeroth knows how to make it? 】
[God knows, maybe the refining method is also a specialty of the Shadow Realm, but I still have to go to the Shadow Realm to know the details.]
Sarlayan recovered his thoughts and thanked Anub'arak with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty Anub'arak, for finally letting me know the origin of soul steel."
Anub'arak waved his thick front paws: "It's a small thing. Compared to your kindness in saving Azjol-Nerub, this little gift is nothing."
"but……"
Anub'arak's tone became serious: "Have you really decided to go to the Shadow Realm?"
"With all due respect, the Shadow Realm is the kingdom of the dead and is not suitable for the activities of the living."
"According to the ancient records preserved by the Nerub civilization, even the ancient gods in their heyday were unwilling to provoke the Shadow Realm. It is said that there are several powerful Eternals sitting in that dangerous kingdom of death."
