In the few months since Sharlayan left Azeroth for the Shadowlands, the overall situation in Azeroth has not changed much.
The most noteworthy event last year was undoubtedly the peace between the Anti-Lordaeron Alliance, led by the Kingdom of Alterac, and Lordaeron.
With the full mediation of Quel'Thalas, a third-party neutral country, the two sides finally reached an agreement after more than two months of wrangling.
With the vigorous dissemination of the reorganized Silver Moon Daily, this news soon spread throughout the Eastern Kingdom, and even the Kingdom of Storm in the far south of the continent heard about it.
However, for Sarlayan, the peace between the two parties was just the inevitable result of the exchange of mutual interests under the war situation at that time, and it was already considered a thing of the past.
What worries Sharlayan even more is the aftermath of the Battle of Alterac.
As Sharlayan expected, the new king of Alterac, Yintherton Perenold, would not allow Edras Blackmoore, a young boy, to continue to occupy his territory.
After taking care of the reconstruction of the ruins of Alterac's royal city, Yinseden, who had not yet moved back to the royal city, launched an appeal to the whole country at Steinblade's palace (formerly Faculest Castle).
After experiencing the Battle of Alterac, the Syndicate and Ravenholdt thieves who were willing to loyal to the new king have passed the test of blood and fire and become more elite.
Yin Seton also obediently adopted Sarlayan's advice before leaving, and trained before the battle to raise a new army that was extremely loyal to the kingdom.
Since the Kingdom of Alterac needs to be rebuilt, a new army with combat effectiveness is very necessary. We can't expect thieves groups like the Syndicate and Ravenholdt to charge on the front line of the battlefield.
With the complete fall of Duke Faculest, the leader of the Syndicate, the existence of the Syndicate as an unofficial organization has entered a countdown.
Most of the original Syndicate members who were willing to be loyal to the Kingdom of Alterac were incorporated into Ravenholdt. Duke Joraci Ravenholdt received an order from the new king Yinseton to create an independent syndicate based on Ravenholdt Manor.
The official intelligence organization of the Kingdom of Alterac.
As the saying goes, soldiers and horses should move forward before food and grass are used.
During the Battle of Alterac, Yin Seton learned a lot from Sharlayan, including the importance of intelligence and logistics.
Durnholde's Blackmore was a nail that must be removed. Before the regular army was ready to take action, Ravenholdt took the first step and felt the inside and outside of Durnholde Castle.
Edras Blackmore cannot be said to be a loser, but his personal abilities are indeed limited.
Training gladiators was no problem for him, but asking Blackmore to purge intelligence personnel... that was indeed a bit difficult for him.
The Kingdom of Alterac has not yet formally deployed its troops, but anyone with a keen sense of smell can detect the smell of gunpowder permeating the hills of Hillsbrad.
Durnholde Castle's good days are quickly coming to an end.
Sarlayan accepted Durotan's commission, and naturally wanted to send Buddha to the west. He wanted to get Thrall...or Guyin'er out of the castle before Durnholde was destroyed.
But at the same time, there was another piece of information that Sarlayan had been paying attention to that was captured by the Backlight Blade.
"Did the Blackrock Orcs start a war in Blackrock Tower again?"
This bad news made Sarlayan frown in slight annoyance.
Ever since Stellagosa acted as an intermediary and allowed Dagran Thaurissan to establish contact with the Hydraxia water element behind the Dark Iron Council's back, the Dark Iron dwarves loyal to the royal family began to secretly prepare to target the Dark Iron
Enslavers of the Dwarves - Revolt of the Fire Elementals.
The preparation plan was originally going smoothly. Thanks to the efforts of Daglan and Moira, the fire element diehards in the Black Iron Council did not notice their small actions in private.
But at this moment, the Blackrock Orcs who occupied the upper level of Blackrock Tower suddenly launched an attack on Blackrock Abyss without any warning.
Onyxia asked in confusion: "What is Nefarian thinking? Could it be that the experiment didn't go well and he wanted to use mortal war to relieve his boredom?"
Sarlayan said thoughtfully: "Is there a possibility that Enzos, who is behind the black dragon and the fire element, noticed something and deliberately used this method to beat the black iron dwarf?"
"Probably...no."
Stellagosa took over the words and analyzed: "With the ancient god's behavior, if Enzos really discovered the dark iron dwarf's little plan, he should directly instruct the King of Fire Demon to destroy this group of disobedient mortals, no?
It’s necessary to hammer it in this roundabout way.”
Jaina, who was riding in the same car, asked curiously: "So, the Blackstone Orcs' military operations are Nefarian's personal instructions?"
"What is he planning?"
Onyxia spread her hands helplessly: "I also want to know this question. Ever since Nefarian imprisoned himself in Blackstone Tower, I can't understand him more and more."
Affected by Deathwing, the relationship between Onyxia and Nefarian is not very good.
But after all, they were brothers and sisters who grew up together. Onyxia thought she knew Nefarian fairly well.
As she herself said, since Nefarian moved the colorful dragon laboratory into Blackrock Tower, Onyxia's Nefarian in her memory has gradually drifted away, and he has done things that she can't understand more and more.
Judging from the intelligence sent back from the Blackstone Tower, the intensity of the Blackstone Orcs' attack is not that great.
Having lived together in Blackrock Tower for many years, the Blackstone orcs and the Dark Iron dwarves are old neighbors, and they know each other very well.
According to Daglan, this round of attacks by the Blackstone Orcs was not aimed at winning the battle, it was like they came out to stretch their muscles after being bored in the tower.
If they were orcs in a normal state, with their warlike nature, Sarlayan would not be surprised by such an exercise-style small-scale battle.
But that's where the problem lies.
After the Second Orc War, all the orcs who drank the blood of demons were severely affected by the side effects and began to become tired and weak, losing their energy.
Under such circumstances, Red Blackhand was not a fool, and there was no reason for him to let the orcs who were in poor condition initiate disputes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sarlayan said with a headache: "So the question comes back again. This is obviously Nefarian's instruction. What does he want to do? To gain a sense of presence?"
In order to fight for the orthodox inheritance of the black dragon clan, there is destined to be a battle between Abyssian and Nefarian.
Considering this, Sarlayan turned to Onyxia and asked: "How is the gathering of combat power in the Obsidian Holy Land? Are you sure you can break through the Blackrock Tower and take down Nefarian?"
Onyxia shook her head: "Abyssian's remedial training is basically over, but the establishment Black Dragon has not recalled enough. It will probably take 1-2 years to prepare. Now is not the best time to take action."
"Well..." Sarlayan lowered his head and thought for a moment: "Since the intensity of the Blackstone Orcs' attack is not strong, let them go for the time being. I trust Daglan's judgment."
"I plan to go to Hillsbrad first to fulfill my promise to Durotan and rescue his only son Guyin'er from the castle."
'Perhaps, add a Talesa.'
Theresa Foxton, Sal's most important family member during his childhood.
Theresa was the daughter of Lord Blackmore's servant family in Durnholde. Her family took care of Thrall's health and brought him up. The young Thrall always regarded Taretha as his biological sister.
According to the barrage, Talesa was very good-looking, and as she gradually grew taller, she was spotted by Blackmore and was forcibly recruited to be his mistress.
In the original history, it was with the help of Talesa that Thrall was able to escape from Durnholde Castle and began his legendary life.
However, Talesa was killed by the angry Blackmoore. When Thrall led the new Horde army to Durnholde to rescue Talessa, the frantic Blackmoore actually threw her twisted and deformed head to
Sal.
Originally, Thrall did not plan to storm Durnholde Castle, but wanted to negotiate peace with Blackmore.
The murder of Talesa completely angered Thrall, and under his order, the new Horde army launched an attack on Durnholde Castle.
Thrall finally killed Blackmoore with his own hands in a one-on-one duel, avenging Taretha. However, those who had been lost could never come back.
Even in his rage, Thrall still kept Taretha's teachings in mind and did not harm the civilians of Durnholde.
It can be said that Taressa played an important role in Thrall's growth into an atypical orc.
Tharesa's kindness in leading by example infected Thrall. Throughout his life, he never forgot the teachings of his sister, who was not related to him by blood, and worked hard to become the hero she expected.
If Taresha had not died, she would have continued to influence Thrall in the rest of her life, making the salvation shaman's dovish path more determined.
This is obviously more in line with Sharlayan's expectations for the new tribe. He does not want to see the Alliance and the Horde being at war with each other like they did in the original history. These two powerful military groups should have joined forces to protect Azeroth and jointly defeat the Burning Legion.
The conspiracy with the ancient gods.
"Go back and tidy up first. Tomorrow morning I will go to the Sun Chaser's Court to meet with the Sun King, and then rush to Hillsbrad as soon as possible."
Sarlayan was a little worried about the situation of Talesa and Thrall: "Hope is still too late, and I don't know whether Blackmore will lose his mind hysterically under the huge pressure."
