When the venture capital company first discovered oil deposits in the silt swamp, the pioneering team they sent was originally intended to find a good forestry base in the central and northern parts of the Kalimdor continent.
The largest forest in the Barrens is located in the Waterless Ridge in the northwest. This is the territory where the Witchwing clan has lived for generations. Therefore, the venture capital company's felling of the forest in the eastern part of the Waterless Ridge was opposed by the Harpies, and the two sides broke out.
A battle.
But in the end, the venture capital company compromised. They believed that the cost and price of developing Waterless Ridge was too high, so they turned to exploration in Ashenvale and Stonetalon Mountains. Unexpectedly, they unexpectedly discovered oil in the silt swamp.
In order to build the silt swamp, the venture capital company increased its exploration of the Stonetalon Mountains, so the Windstorm Valley was occupied by their logging teams, and the mining rights of the mountains surrounding the valley were also auctioned off, so Gazruin won the power.
And hired the kobolds from Gogo Cave at that time.
Except for part of the wood cut down in Wind Valley was used for the construction of the Silt Swamp, most of the rest was sold by the goblins to the Kingdom of Kul Tiras for use in the Tira they built on the east bank of the Raging River and southeast of Razor Ridge.
Gard Castle, the kingdom's first settlement on the continent of Kalimdor.
Tiragarde is a strong castle built of stone and wood. The Kingdom of Kul Tiras' power in the Barrens finally relied on the strong city to repel several attacks from the quilboars of the Razor Ridge Steelmane clan.
Currently, Tiragard Castle plans to build a ship repair shop to repair merchant ships and warships traveling between the two continents. This requires a large amount of wood, so they placed an order with a venture capital company.
For venture capital companies, centered on the Barrens, there are also many forests in the Dustwallow Swamp to the south, but it is too difficult to develop there. To cut down and simply process trees and wood, the swamp water needs to be drained first.
From a cost perspective, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive and is too high and uneconomical.
There are many forests in Ashenvale to the north, but that is the territory of the night elves, and the venture capital companies are not yet arrogant enough to dare to provoke the night elves head-on.
So the Storm Valley of the Stonetalon Mountains became their only choice. However, due to the arrival of the tauren, the construction of Apalaye Camp, and the timber of the Storm Valley, whether they entered the Ashenvale from the north through the Stonetalon Trail and then went south, or
Going south past the Gale Canyon Pass, the journey is relatively long and difficult.
This resulted in the Wind Valley logging team's output being abundant, but its transportation capacity being far from sufficient. So the venture capital companies, stimulated by the orders, once again set their sights on Waterless Ridge.
The previous battle with the Venture Capital Company made the Wuyi Clan realize that the power of the Harpy alone was not enough to completely defeat and eliminate the Venture Capital Company's covetousness of the Waterless Ridge Forest.
So Sylvia Xueyu thought of the tauren and the kobolds of the Kingdom of Thresh that she had only heard about in the past month or two. She felt that if she could use the power of these two, she could at least ensure that her clan would not be in trouble for survival.
The land was occupied and dispersed or even exterminated.
Therefore, the harpy mother came to the Apalaye camp and expressed her attitude of further cooperation. The tauren elders in the Apalaye camp have been discussing this for two or three days. Some elders think it is feasible, but some
The elders are unwilling to cooperate more deeply with the harpies.
Magatha Grimtotem and the factions she supported and supported her naturally had objections, but Magatha never expressed her opinions easily, so she ordered the druid to report to Cairn Bloodhoof, and the tauren warchief
He gave full power over the negotiations to Magatha.
As a qualified politician, even if Magatha had a hundred reluctances, she would never show it, so she invited Prell. She always believed that Prell was a wise kobold.
You should understand your own thoughts.
So Prell glanced at Magatha cautiously, and asked Sylvia Bloodfeather, who was still chattering about the evil deeds of venture capital companies and the hope for alliance, "Then, dear Lord,
Mother, do you know the situation around you?"
Sylvia Xueyu said angrily: "I only know that the venture capital companies are getting more and more arrogant. They have sent people to the valleys and plains east of Wushuiling and cut down a number of trees there. Two trees have been cut down.
A group of migrating gazelles has changed its route because of their destruction. We must expel them!"
Magatha gave Prell a meaningful look, and Prell immediately understood that Sylvia Bloodfeather didn't care about the world outside Waterless Ridge, so she couldn't even talk about understanding it.
He laughed: "Our Kingdom of Thresh's consistent attitude is to live in harmony with all races and avoid all unnecessary conflicts and wars. Therefore, we are willing to form allies with all friendly races and forces to deal with our common enemies and
threaten."
Magatha also followed suit, using this meaningless diplomatic language to say: "We Tauren have the same attitude as the Kingdom of Thresh. As a race that advocates peace and loves nature, we are also willing to cooperate with all friendly races.
Let’s move forward hand in hand!”
Sylvia Bloodfeather is very useful to this kind of diplomatic rhetoric. Although she is the matron of a large clan with a large population, the harpy actually does not have much communication with the outside world. No matter how talented she is,
It is just limited to the knowledge she possesses personally, and the gaze of the individual and the entire clan determined by it.
Then the harpy matron suddenly became excited: "We, the Witchwing clan, are willing to become allies with the tauren and kobolds to jointly deal with the hateful venture capital companies. For this, we are willing to pay any necessary price!"
Prell did not speak, and Magatha smiled: "We Tauren are willing to continue to maintain friendly relations with the Witchwing Clan, but we have no conflicts or grudges with the Venture Capital Company. Even if it is out of alliance, we have rashly established
A new enemy will not bring us any benefits as tauren."
But Sylvia Xueyu had obviously done her homework. She said: "I know that you Tauren and Centaurs have never dealt with you, but the Venture Capital Company has sold a lot of materials to the Backwater Oasis. We are in the east of Wushui Ridge.
The scouts here often see goblin convoys coming and going.
Funding the centaurs is helping the enemies of the tauren. Is this reason enough for the tauren to deal with venture capital companies? "
Her words surprised Prell. It seemed that this coquettish harpy matron was not so stupid that she didn't know anything.
So Prell immediately took over: "We, the Thresh Kingdom, have no conflicts with the Venture Capital Company. In fact, we have always had good trade relations. Although I am happy to become an ally with the Witchwing Clan, if I want to fulfill
The obligation of allies, we must find a sufficient reason to deal with venture capital companies, right?"
Prell's words made Magatha feel even more that in terms of shameless lying, or from a politician's point of view, she and Prell were the same type of people. Prell had spoken out countless times.
The Tauren here promotes hatred against venture capital companies, and she understands Prell's attitude better than anyone else.
Sylvia Bloodfeather was speechless for a moment. In her opinion, from the first time Prell went to Waterless Ridge for negotiations as the Minotaur envoy, she felt that Prell might represent a group of dog heads that were vassal to the Tauren.
Human power, and the establishment of the Kingdom of Thresh was due to the tauren supporting this obedient vassal.
Being able to sit in the position of mistress, Sylvia Xueyu is not without wisdom. She has always believed that the kobolds represented by Prell, since they are vassals of the tauren, should naturally obey the tauren's words.
So she thought for a while and said: "Hasn't the Kingdom of Thresh and the tauren always maintained a good relationship with each other? The kobolds are a fraternal and enthusiastic race, and they help the tauren expand their influence in the Stonetalon Mountains. So what about the tauren?"
In terms of affairs, the kobolds will continue to be enthusiastic and consistent with the friendly tauren, right?"
Her words were very tactful, but Prell still heard it. In the eyes of this harpy mistress, the Kingdom of Thresh was the younger brother of the tauren. Although this was indeed the case in reality, he was still a little unhappy. He felt that this hawk
It would be better if I were more stupid.
Magatha has a strong ability to observe people's opinions. She said: "Thresh Kingdom and us tauren are friendly and equal friends. We respect any choice made by Thresh Kingdom. This is the consistent attitude of us tauren towards friends. I think
Chief Prell has his own ideas and will never blindly follow them."
No matter what, Magatha must take Prell's dignity into consideration and safeguard the status of the Kingdom of Thresh, because this is also safeguarding the dignity and status of the Tauren.
Even if the tauren really have a younger brother, Magatha will not admit it to any representative of any race or force, because in that case, the tauren will be pushed into a position of bullying other races, which will be very harmful to the survival of the tauren.
It's disadvantageous.
Sylvia Xueyu naturally wouldn't think so much. Compared with the representatives of the three parties present, she was the most innocent one. Since Magatha denied some of her views, she did not continue.
After saying so much, he looked at Prell and said: "Witchwing clan has always maintained good trade relations with Rolling Rock Canyon, and our two races have never had any conflicts or contradictions in the past history.
But our two races, harpies and kobolds, are both famous for their strong reproductive capabilities. To be honest, although the Witchwing clan occupies the Waterless Ridge, we need more living space, and I think the kobolds also
There is also such a need.
I heard that there is a mine in Gale Valley, and the goblins have hired a large number of kobolds to work for it. There is also a mine in Silt Swamp. Kobolds live for mining, don't you want to occupy these mines?
"
She had already begun to use the harpy's habitual thinking of banditry to try to convince Prell, but it must be said that her words were a bit wrong.
"And we harpies don't like centaurs either. Although the Barrens is vast, only wild boars and us harpies originally lived here. The tauren are not interested in the barrens, so we can coexist peacefully. Venture Capital Company
The human kingdom and pirates also invaded this land, and now the centaurs have broken in again. This land is too crowded.
If the three of us become allies and the Witchwing clan is willing to help the tauren deal with the centaurs, at least we will no longer allow the centaurs to enter and occupy the Forgotten Pool Oasis.
We are willing to assist the tauren and fulfill our obligations as allies. Similarly, we also hope that the tauren and kobolds can help us deal with the greedy venture capital companies. What do you two think? "
Sylvia Bloodfeather's words made both Prell and Magatha silent for a while. Magatha's Goblin language was not very good, so after a tauren translator translated the Harpy's words
, her expression was a little weird, but she quickly adjusted it.
Obviously, for Magatha, this was the first time she met an opponent like Sylvia Xueyu in negotiations, and she eagerly stated her conditions, bottom line, and requirements.
Prell actually felt that Sylvia Xueyu was very happy. He didn't like the long, see-saw negotiations. As long as he felt that there was a need and possibility for cooperation between the two parties, he would rather make some concessions than wait for a long time.
Arguing too much on some small details wastes time.
Magatha whispered a few words to Preel in Tauren language, and Preel responded in Tauren language. Although Silvia Xueyu didn't understand Tauren language, she saw Magatha
Talking to Prell, she became even more convinced that the Kingdom of Thresh was a vassal of the Tauren.
Considering that the three parties actually have a common enemy, the Venture Capital Company, and Prell's consistent attitude towards the centaurs, Magatha also made a quick decision. She smiled and said: "On behalf of the tauren race, I agree with the Eagle
Of course, we will continue to negotiate on the conditions for the mistress of the body, as well as all the specific details of cooperation, to ensure that no party suffers. But we can already determine the general direction!"
Prell also nodded: "The Kingdom of Thresh is willing to cooperate!"
Silvia Xueyu laughed happily: "Then we are allies! From this moment on, the harpies, tauren, and kobolds will stand together to face all enemies and threats in the future.
