Chapter 131 Drive the wolf to devour the tiger (4)
Prell and his party met Screaming Thornmane in the depths of Thornblade Canyon. The chief of the Thornback Clan was fatter than the average wild boar and wore a light brown linen robe.
, holding a short wooden staff, looking very majestic.
Unlike the high mesas that are full of green, the Thornblade Canyon is shrouded in huge vines, almost covering the sky of all the bifurcated valleys in the canyon, which makes the canyon look a little dark.
There was almost no grass in the canyon, and the land was bare, revealing the reddish-brown soil surface. Prell frowned slightly, because the landform of Thornblade Canyon was so similar to the east bank of the Wrathwater River.
He originally thought that the red earth on the east bank of the Raging Water River, the future Orgrimmar, the Valley of Trials and other places were turned into such barren shapes because they were close to the coast and were blown and eroded by the sea wind. Now it seems that this may not be the case.
It's all due to climate.
He stared at a thick vine stretching toward the sky from the hillside not far away, and he felt more and more that there was something wrong with the vine.
Screaming Bristlemane met Prell and his party in the center of the canyon. This is the settlement of the Thornback Wild Boar. Along the rolling hillsides on both sides of the canyon, there are scattered wild boar huts. In the center of the canyon,
On a slightly higher earth platform, there is a huge cone-shaped thatched house that occupies a large area.
There was a bonfire burning in the open space in front of the hut, and Screaming Thorns stood beside the bonfire. After listening to the words of the wild boar shaman guide, he looked at Prell: "Kobold, tell me what you saw.
If you know it, please explain it in detail."
Prior ignored his commanding tone and once again drew a simple map on the ground with his long sword, drawing out the distribution of the Venture Capital Company's power in the Barrens, Stonetalon Mountains and Mulgore region.
Screaming Thornmane couldn't help but nodded. This was the first time he had such an intuitive and detailed understanding of the power of a venture capital company, and he immediately felt that Prell's information was absolutely reliable. Because if it weren't for someone who was thoughtful, he wouldn't have obtained it.
Such detailed information.
Then he asked the question in his heart: "Why do you want to tell us this information?" Prell smiled: "If the goblins come to the continent of Kalimdor and do business with us, I will not
No one has any hatred towards them. But the goblins are too greedy. They have cut down and destroyed most of the Wind Valley. If they are allowed to continue, this beautiful land will also be destroyed and occupied by the goblins.
It is my responsibility to attack the strength of venture capital companies. If the thornback wild boars are unwilling to offend the goblins, I will continue to lead my companions to fight against them, or find other courageous allies! "
Screaming Thornmane suddenly sneered: "You want to try to provoke me? It's useless, kobold, I won't do this! The entire Barrens and the land where Thornblade Canyon is located belong to us.
The wild boar people have lived in their homeland for generations. Our homeland has been invaded, so it’s up to us to drive them away!”
Prell was extremely satisfied. He felt that his plan was a big step closer to success. Obviously, from the attitude of the thornback wild boars towards the tauren, it can be seen that they are an extremely xenophobic indigenous race.
, and warlike.
It can even be said that without Preel's need to explain the serious relationship, the thornback wild boars may launch an attack on the venture capital company's mines that enter the Mulgore area.
But Prell's strategy was not just to simply convince the Thornback Wild Boars to start a war, he also wanted to draw all three major indigenous races and clans of Mulgore into the war.
If the thornback quilboars, windfury harpies and white-maned gnolls unite to fight against the venture capital company's forces on the continent of Kalimdor, then the Wind Valley will inevitably transfer some employees, which will indirectly weaken the forces there.
Guard strength.
In his imagination, the best outcome is that the thornback quilboar and the venture capital company continue to exchange fire, and the Windfury harpy is harassing them. If the thornback quilboar and the white-maned gnoll start an internal conflict, the entire Mulgore
It would be best to make a mess.
Judging from the current situation, Screaming Thornmane is obviously the main war faction. Although the Thornback clan still needs to defend against the centaur army in the Barrens, Prell doesn't care about this. The more chaotic it is, the more convenient it will be for him.
The big thing planned.
Screaming Bristlemane stared at Prell for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Kobold, are you working for the Tauren? I know that the Tauren have always wanted to enter this land, and they have already taken this land.
Name it Mogore. You came from the Stonetalon Mountains. As far as I know, there is also a group of tauren there. If you want to sacrifice your life for the tauren and drag the Thornback clan into the war, don't worry, you will be the first
You are the one who dies!"
Prell was not afraid of his threat at all. He laughed: "As far as I know, the tauren have been trying hard to maintain a friendly relationship with the Thornback clan. The tauren's enemy is the centaur. If I
If I really want to help the tauren, then I should go to the Barrens to deal with the centaurs instead of showing up here and causing trouble for the goblins. Is the powerful Thornback clan afraid of the goblins?"
He paused and continued: "The goblins have sold arms to almost all the indigenous races. The war between the Steelmane clan of Thorn Ridge and Razor Ridge and the humans was not started by the goblins.
?
I know that you Thornback Quilboars have also done business with the goblins, and you have also obtained a large number of weapons from them. Then I think you may not know that the goblins also sold food and weapons to the backwater oasis.
Centaurs, those brutal centaurs, are going to use goblin weapons to slaughter the wild boar people in northern Agamagog, right?"
Screaming Thornmane's eyes suddenly widened. He really didn't know about this. Since goblin merchants have been trading with various races on the mainland for a long time, almost all races need to trade with goblins in exchange for the necessary life.
Necessary supplies for survival.
Therefore, almost all indigenous races, including centaurs, will let passing goblin caravans pass during wartime. Firstly, they do not want to offend goblin merchants, and secondly, they also need goblin caravans to transport urgently needed supplies for them.
Materials.
Therefore, in the Barrens, the goblins have trade relations with various races. From the perspective of the indigenous races, this is a behavior that can be tolerated. However, the goblins sell arms to two hostile forces at the same time.
Being the chief of the Thornback Boars is something that cannot be tolerated under any circumstances.
"You swear you're not lying, kobold!"
"If you don't believe me, then my quilboar companion of the Steelmane clan can tell you everything he saw in Winddale!"
Amedeo timidly took a step forward, and was about to respectfully salute Screech Thorns, a quilboar, when he was kicked in the back by Prell. He was shocked and looked up at Sharp Mane.
Xiao Xinzhi glanced at it and quickly lowered his head.
Screaming Bristlemane could treat Prell and his group as guests, and for Prell's sake, he could also ignore a humble Steelmane Boar Man. So he glanced at Amedeo, and saw nothing.
Asked, and believed what Prell said.
"Gather your men, we have to drive these damn goblins out before the big sacrifice ceremony!" Screaming Thornmane raised his short wooden staff and roared.
Prell said respectfully: "I think we can try to win over the Windfury Harpy and the White-maned Gnoll!"
Screaming Thornmane stared: "Don't you think our Thornback clan is not strong enough?"
Prell shook his head: "Goblins are a race in this world that can do anything for money. You must also know that as employees of venture capital companies, goblins hire humans, dwarves, jackals and cannibals from the Eastern Kingdom.
Human demons, and even the Dark Iron dwarves who were at odds with each other among the three major dwarf clans were hired by them.
Therefore, the goblins never mind using small favors to bribe any race that is willing to become their employees. If the Windfury Harpy or the White-maned Gnoll are bribed, no matter how powerful the Thornback clan is, it will be very difficult for them to be threatened by two indigenous races at the same time.
What a difficult thing to do!"
Screaming Bristlemane took a deep breath. He felt that Prell's words did make sense. Although the relationship between the Bristleback Wildboar and the Windfury Harpy was still harmonious, because both sides had mutual needs for land and survival.
He made up for it, but he was really not sure that the Windfury Harpy would not be bribed by the goblins.
In the same way, the gnolls of the Whitemane Clan have continuously expanded their living and hunting areas to the east and south in recent years. If the Thornblade Canyon had not been the headquarters of the Thornback Clan, the two clans would have had a large-scale conflict.
"We can consider the Windfury Harpy as a temporary ally. But forget about the Gnolls. Sooner or later there will be a war between us and the Gnolls!" Screaming Thornmane spoke with great pride.
"Then when the noble clan sends troops, we must beware of the White-maned clan. We are not sure whether the White-maned Gnolls have come into contact with the goblins. In short, caution is the top priority!" Prell said: "As for persuasion.
Windfury Clan, I am willing to follow the wild boar envoy!"
Screaming Thornmane glanced at this ugly kobold and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good! In this matter, we are friends!"
Prell secretly pouted, feeling that the wild boar chief was also cunning and a friend "in this matter". In other words, if the mining forces of Mulgore Venture Capital Company were expelled, then they would never have anything to do with each other again.
.
"Out of the responsibility and trust of a friend, I ask you, the chief, to send an envoy and allow me and my companions to follow! Since you have decided to end the war before the grand sacrificial ceremony, the sooner you contact the Windfury clan, the better!"
