With the gathering of the quilboar army of the Thornback clan, communication between the tauren tribes distributed in the southern Barrens and the Stonetalon Mountains has become more and more frequent.
Prell "seized" the power of Gogo Mine and established the Kingdom of Thresh. For the Tauren race, the biggest benefit was that the Tauren obtained sufficient weapons supplies through cooperation.
The current scale of Stonehoof Valley has expanded to 60 tauren blacksmiths, more than 400 kobold apprentices, 30 smelting furnaces, nearly 40 blacksmith furnaces, and a monthly output of approximately 110,000 pounds of various types of mineral ingots.
, producing more than 100 pieces of various types of weapons in Japan, of course, excluding bows, crossbows and arrows.
This output is not very high, but it is enough to meet the needs of tauren and kobolds. Moreover, Prell is particularly concerned about the arsenal. He also specially introduced "assembly line" operations. The kobold apprentices in each team,
Under the leadership of a tauren blacksmith, he is only responsible for one process of a certain weapon.
In fact, after the initial run-in, the tauren blacksmiths were full of praise for the kobold apprentices. The kobolds are born with good obedience, and obedient apprentices are loved by every teacher. And more importantly, they are very obedient.
Yes, the kobolds' sensitivity to minerals is also reflected in their smelting and forging work.
The biggest factor limiting output is not the smelting of copper, iron and other minerals, but other materials needed for weapons, such as wood, leather, some small parts, etc. Especially for wood, the overall climate in the Stonetalon Mountains is relatively humid.
There is a large area of virgin forest behind the rock canyon, but after felling the wood, it needs to be dried, dried, cut and processed, which is the most time-consuming process.
Leather is also extremely scarce. Stonehoof Valley is currently unable to provide chain mail or armor made of steel. Instead, it focuses on the priority supply of weapons. After all, as the largest customer, if the tauren choose to wear chain mail or steel armor, the cost will be high.
Not something they can afford.
Therefore, a considerable part of the leather obtained by the tauren living in the Burning Sun Stone in the Apalaye camp and in the daily hunting was used to make leather armor. For this reason, they also negotiated an agreement with the Witchwing clan together with the Thresh Kingdom.
A large amount of leather was purchased from the Harpies through a trade deal.
The establishment of the Kingdom of Thresh can be said to have made the trade and economic ties between the three races of Tauren, Witchwing Harpies and Kobolds closer. This was a change that Prell did not expect at the time.
.
According to the agreement, the tauren from Apalaye Camp will come to Rolling Rock Canyon every half month to transport a batch of completed weapons. In the trade between the two parties, although the tauren hold shares in Stonehoof Valley,
, but they still need to pay a certain price after all.
Judging from the current strength of the tauren in the Stonetalon Mountains, Prell did not pursue it too much. He allowed the tauren to take credit and debt. This was his expression of friendship and support to the tauren as a kobold tribe, or in other words, the Kingdom of Thresh.
, even politicians like Magatha Horrible Totem are always grateful.
For Prell, doing so is not a disadvantage. After all, the Kingdom of Thresh is newly established, and he needs all kinds of support from the tauren. In fact, it is precisely because he has noticed the close connection between tauren and kobolds.
, the venture capital company represented by Gresu endured his dissatisfaction and accepted the unilateral mineral price increase in Rolling Rock Canyon.
And the tauren raptor druid messengers sent by Kane Bloodhoof from the southern Barrens were coming and going more and more frequently. In mid-September, Magatha Grimtotem came to visit in person and met with Prell privately.
We talked secretly for most of the day.
The top tauren elder of the Apalaye camp brought a big news: Cairn Bloodhoof has finally made up his mind to lead the tribesmen in the southern Barrens to the Mogore region!
After being forced to migrate out of the Desolate Land, the tauren briefly stayed in Feralas for a while, but the local indigenous people, the Woodclaw Gnolls, showed great malice towards the arrival of the tauren and followed them.
The coming Kokar and Garak centaurs forced the tauren to continue migrating eastward, or in other words, to flee.
In the end, the tauren only left a small outpost in the middle of Feralas, and a small army was stationed in the Mosache camp, relying on the terrain to hold on. After several attacks with no results, the gnolls and centaurs
I had to acquiesce in the existence of Mosache camp.
The tauren who migrated to Thousand Needles Stone Forest established two settlements in Black Cloud Peak and Luanfeng Gang. However, the land here was barren and the output was not rich, so the tauren migrated north again and entered the barren land.
Originally, the tauren lived a hard life as nomads in the Razorfen area, but the Garak clan built the Clefthoof Fortress under the cliff in the northern part of Black Cloud Peak to monitor the tauren's camps at the top of the two towering stone pillars.
The Isok camp was built in the northwest to contain the tauren in both directions.
The centaurs of the Kokar clan who followed them like locusts into the Barrens began a continuous attack on the tauren of Razormarsh. The two sides fought several times near the swamp, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the quilboars of the Steelmane clan.
As the place where the quilboar believe and worship the demigod of the wild boar, Agamaggan, the two major quilboar clans, Steelmane and Thornback, sent their tribesmen to stay and live in the area east of Razorfen, which they call the Razor Highlands.
The Steelmane clan first originated from the Blackthorn Mountains in the north of Razorfen. They believed that the war between the tauren and centaurs had destroyed the place where their ancestors once lived, so they sent representatives to ask the tauren to leave.
So Cairn Bloodhoof had to lead his tribe to continue migrating north, crossing Blackthorn Mountain and stopping near the entrance to the Dustwallow Swamp area. To the south is the dwarves' excavation site of Bael Modan, and to the north is the giants.
In the wilderness, seemingly endless swarms of scorpions have appeared.
So the centaurs of the Kokar clan came after them again. Although they failed to defeat the tauren, the centaurs suddenly discovered that the Barrens was a good place.
Instead of provoking the Wild Boars of the Steelmane Clan in Blackthorn Mountain, they continued their journey north, and finally drove away the Thornback Wild Boars in the Backwater Oasis, turning the largest oasis in the barren land into their new home.
To the west of the Backwater Oasis, to the south of the Sweetwater Oasis, and to the north of the Wilderness of Giants, is the vast Agamagog region. This is where the Spinyback Wild Boars, which originate from the Thornblade Canyon in the southeast of the Mulgore region, have lived for generations.
Compared with the Blackthorn Mountain, Thorn Ridge in the north of the Backwater Oasis, and the Wild Boars of the Steelmane Clan in the Razor Ridge on the east bank of the Wrath River, the Thornback Wild Boars have had the largest living space occupied due to the invasion of the centaurs, and the conflicts between them are also more intense.
fierce.
For this reason, the two major clans of quilboar, the thornback quilboar, have a particularly unfriendly attitude towards the tauren. They have always believed that it was the tauren who brought the scourge of centaurs to the Barrens. The attitude of the Steelmane clan is more ambiguous.
, their conflict with the tauren is not serious, and neither Razorfen nor the area where the tauren currently live as nomads is the main place for their survival.
Therefore, the conflict between the two sides is not big. Even though the tauren tribe is neighbors with the quilboars, a branch of the Steelmane clan in the Blackthorn Mountains in the southern Barrens, they each have different lifestyles, and the tauren try to avoid interacting with the steelman tribe.
There were too many conflicts in the Mane clan.
It is precisely because of the attitude of the thornback quilboar towards the tauren that Cairn Bloodhoof has never been able to cross the Giant Wilderness to the north in the south of the Barrens. If the centaurs in the Backwater Oasis were not too arrogant in their attempt to occupy the Sweetwater Oasis,
The thornback quilboars were forced to temporarily give up their hatred of the tauren. I am afraid that the tauren are still unable to build the Taurajo post at the entrance to the Mulgore region.
After visiting Thresh Kingdom two months ago and talking with Prell, Cairn Bloodhoof discussed with other tauren elders and finally made up his mind to lead the tribesmen in the southern Barrens to the Mogore region.
migration.
Judging from the external situation, the civil war between the centaurs in Desolace has involved the strength and energy of the two major clans, Kokal and Garak, who are most hostile to the tauren. The Garak clan headquarters in Thousand Needles had to send troops to fight against the tauren.
The Desolate Land provided support, while the Kokar clan in the Backwater Oasis began to keep a low profile.
In the past half year, the centaurs' oppressive and continuous attacks on the tauren have finally slowed down slightly, giving the tauren a rare chance to breathe. Now the thornback quilboar is preparing to launch a counterattack against the Kokar centaur.
, they even made a request to the Steelmane clan of Blackthorn Mountain to jointly send troops. In other words, for the tauren, now is a rare dawn.
Even if supplies are scarce and preparations are not sufficient, Kane Bloodhoof and other tauren elders have made up their minds to take a risk. Maybe if such a good opportunity is missed, the next time they will meet again, who knows when?
.
No matter what, Prell has expressed enough support to Magatha. Grimtotem. Now is the time when the tauren need support from the outside the most. At such a moment, the Kingdom of Thresh has expressed enough goodwill. As the tauren know,
The character of repaying kindness will definitely receive sufficient rewards in the future.
Magatha Grimtotem made a request for allies, hoping that the Kingdom of Thresh could assist in sending troops to guard against the possibility of the Thornback Boar in the direction of the Stonetalon Mountains and the Barrens Pass, and instead attack the southern branch of the tauren tribe.
.
According to the tauren's continuous secret investigation of the quilboars, Magatha estimated that including the two major clans of Steelmane and Thornback, the quilboar population in the entire Barrens and Mulgore region is about three million, and among them
90% are distributed in barren lands.
If Cairn Bloodhoof wants to lead his people to migrate north from the southern Barrens, they must pass through the southern part of the Agamagog region. If the Thornback quilboar intercepts them on the way, the task of the northern tauren in the Stonetalon Mountains is to send out troops.
Glory Outpost, exerting pressure on the northern part of the Agamagog region.
As for the possible pursuit from the rear by the Blackthorn Mountain Steelmane Clan in the south, that is what Cairn Bloodhoof needs to consider.
What the Tauren need from the Kingdom of Thresh as an ally, apart from sending troops to assist, is to hope that Stonehoof Valley can increase production and ensure a sufficient supply of weapons.
Once the tauren are able to establish a foothold in the Mulgore region, the benefit the Thresh Kingdom will gain is that they will have mineral exploration rights and half of the excavation rights around the Mulgore region.
This condition can be said to be quite favorable, because with the reproduction ability of the kobolds, the tauren give up half of the mining rights, which is equivalent to allowing the kobolds to enter the Mogore area, and survive and reproduce there.
Prell simply considered this condition and immediately agreed. He knew that this condition was the reward the tauren gave to their only ally and the kobolds who had shown enough goodwill. It had to be said that it was extremely generous.
Following Magatha this time, there were twenty tauren blacksmiths and thirty tauren apprentices. This is the limit of the blacksmiths that the Apalaye camp can currently provide. After all, most of the tauren are staying in
In the south, the Stonetalon Mountains only have about one-fifth of the entire tauren population.
Magatha came in a hurry and left even more hastily. She and the tauren soldiers who followed escorted a batch of weapons and hurried back to the Apalaye camp.
Prell immediately summoned all his subordinates and partners who could be summoned, and briefly explained Kane Bloodhoof's decision and what the Thresh Kingdom was going to do.
Tamra Wasteland was trembling with excitement: "The war chief...really plans to migrate to Mulgore?" She once followed Prell over the mountains and entered the Mulgore region, and that beautiful grassland was hers.
Dream home!
Several tauren present showed excited expressions. Prell noticed that except for Belga, all the other kobold elders seemed to be indifferent, even a little bit flinching. He sighed, if the kobolds themselves
He wanted to be more ambitious, even if he acted a little stronger, he was not willing to act like a "kobold spy" and rely on betraying the interests of some kobolds to make friends with the tauren.
"Quiet! This matter must not be spread outside. If the news is leaked even half a minute in advance, don't blame me for being unkind!" Prell used a murderous tone for the first time, looked around and said: "Next, I want to make arrangements.
