Thrall's proposal was nothing more than to keep each other warm. After all, whether it was the orcs, the Darkspear trolls, or the Thresh Kingdom and the tauren, their populations were too small.
As a native of the continent of Kalimdor, the war with the centaurs has lasted for many years. The current population of the tauren tribe is about 500,000, while the current population of the Kingdom of Thresh is only about 110,000.
Although kobolds have strong reproductive capabilities and a short maturity period, their infant mortality rate is too high, their combat effectiveness is not strong enough, and their living environment is harsh. Therefore, since Prell established the Thresh Kingdom, he has considered the first
The first priority is always survival.
As for the Darkspear trolls, if Thrall's fleet hadn't met and rescued them halfway, their small clan would have been wiped out by the murlocs. The number of trolls currently settled in the Echo Islands is only about
About ten thousand people.
As for the orcs under Thrall's leadership, although ships have been arriving from the Eastern Kingdom mainland in the past six months, their total population does not exceed 60,000.
The biggest problem for the orcs is the population structure. After the failure of the second orc invasion war, a large number of orcs were imprisoned in detention centers established by humans and were engaged in a lot of heavy manual labor. Moreover, humans did not want this invader group to develop and grow.
Therefore, there are hardly many newborn orc babies in the detention center.
As for the orcs who fled after the defeat, they had to hide among the mountains, hills and forests of the Eastern Kingdom to avoid the continuous encirclement and suppression by the regular human army. There were also not many newborns.
In other words, most of Thrall's orcs are now male, and they are all older. They are basically veterans who participated in the second orc invasion war. The age structure of the entire group is very unreasonable.
Under such circumstances, the only choice for the orcs is to maintain a state of peace with the indigenous races of Kalimdor as much as possible and strive for more opportunities for peaceful recuperation.
Then finding allies and striving for a peaceful external environment has become the most urgent choice for Thrall and other orc leaders.
It's just that they don't have many allies to choose from. The Darkspear trolls gained the trust of the orcs because they took refuge earlier, while the tauren gained the trust of the orcs because they advocated peace and had strong individual combat capabilities.
Only in terms of the choice of the Kingdom of Thresh, there have been some disputes among the orcs. Some orcs look down on the kobolds and feel that the strength of the Kingdom of Thresh is too weak, but Thrall and Drek'Thar still resisted all opinions.
Decided to invite Prell.
There is no other reason. In the two battles of Azshara and Mount Hyjal, the orcs have also seen the combat effectiveness of Thresh Kingdom’s army. The most important thing is that the large mines around the Barrens are now basically occupied by Thresh.
The kingdom is in control, and even in order to obtain a stable source of minerals, the orcs must accept the Kingdom of Thresh.
As for why the harpies and quilboars were not invited, Prell didn't ask much, and the orcs didn't even consider it.
After all, Thrall was raised by humans, so his way of thinking is very close to human thinking. Any race is always proud and loves its own race and culture, and will inevitably have some degree of discrimination against other races.
When it comes to arrogant attitudes towards other races, the elves in the world of Azeroth naturally rank first, and even among the elves, there is discrimination within them. The night elves are roughly at the bottom of the discrimination chain.
The second largest group can be roughly regarded as humans. Compared to the elves, which have made little progress for more than 10,000 years, humans have a relatively short history, but they can be said to represent the civilization process of the world of Azeroth.
Now that the orcs have been liberated, they will be ranked third. The orcs are a race that advocates force and is free and unrestrained. It is a race with this overall ethnic character. Even though they have experienced two failures in the invasion war, they still have not given up.
and destroy the pride they were born with.
What's more, the orcs have always been defeated by the human coalition with fewer attacks and more. They believe that it is because of Gul'dan's betrayal rather than the crime of war. It can be said that the orcs have not seriously reflected on the fate of their own group until now.
What you do.
Under such circumstances, some orcs even believed that the new tribe's acceptance of the Kingdom of Thresh was a gift to the kobolds.
Prell naturally didn't know what those orcs were thinking. He just sighed that after working hard for so long, he finally found a barely bright path for the kobold tribe.
The leaders of the various ethnic groups present at the meeting had no objections to Thrall's alliance proposal, because judging from the current situation, the alliance of various ethnic groups is indeed beneficial to all parties involved.
For example, the Kingdom of Thresh mainly provides minerals and basic mining processing, a small amount of wood and alcohol to various other races and clans; the tauren provide food, leather, and leather processing to other races; while the orcs and trolls develop fisheries.
Breeding industry can provide meat, leather, and the most reliable force protection and deterrence.
Prell wanted to bring the Witchwing and Steelmane clans in, but he wisely chose to shut up because he knew that he did not have enough right to speak and the weight of his words was not enough.
This newly established racial union is still named after the tribe, and the flag representing the tribe has not changed. It uses a red background and black abstract pattern that looks like a shield and an eye.
As for the emblem representing the tribal camp, during the discussion among the leaders, Prell discovered that the kobolds did not seem to have their own racial emblem, and he had forgotten about it when he established the Thresh Kingdom.
The orcs naturally have their own emblem, a round shield and two crossed orc-style battle axes. The Darkspear trolls also have their own racial emblem, which is also a rhombus-shaped wooden shield, two crossed troll war spears, and
Decorated with wooden voodoo masks, voodoo dolls, and various strange potions made by troll witch doctors.
The tauren's emblem is based on the tauren totem pole as a fulcrum, a Kodo skin iris shield, two long battle axes that are also crossed, and a pipe decorated with feathers.
Prell didn't take this seriously. He felt that the flag representing the kingdom was enough, and it would be troublesome to add more emblems.
But the leaders of the various races present at the meeting did not seem to think so. They were discussing fiercely and eagerly. Prell did not interrupt. He noticed the orc guards standing around the conference hall, and their expressions seemed to be full of disdain when they looked at him.
He curled his lips secretly.
Two hours later, the emblem representing the tribal camp, which had been modified countless times, was finally designed. In the middle is a diamond-shaped steel shield with the tribal flag pattern on it; on the left and right are the horns representing the tauren, and
It is decorated with white feathers, and the horn on the left is broken in half.
As for the one representing the Darkspear troll, there are three purple and white voodoo mask totems on top of the diamond-shaped shield; while the round shield representing the orcs is at the back.
Thrall naturally had to consider the feelings of his allies, so he warmly invited Prell to hang items, patterns or symbols representing the Kingdom of Thresh.
After discussing with Lexa and others, Prell came up with his own plan: a miner's pickaxe with a wine gourd pattern on the handle and a Pandaren word "wine". Next to the wine gourd, there is a small
There is a bear claw on the pickaxe, and there is a crossbow arrow dripping with blood on the pickaxe, which represents the Riverclaw Gnoll. The body of the pickaxe is decorated with reddish brown and white feathers that represent the Bloodfury Harpy.
This pattern immediately aroused everyone's applause. The leaders who were familiar with the internal structure of the Kingdom of Thresh all understood that Prell marked the individuals and clans who had made great contributions to the Kingdom of Thresh.
Of course, at least very few of the goblins headed by Capelan, Jikniku, etc. have transferred to the royal nationality, and most of them are still employed. As for the ogres, their number is too small, and they are represented by Rexxar.
That's enough.
The Dark Iron Dwarves have also made great contributions to the Kingdom of Thresh, but their numbers are also small, and more than a hundred Dark Iron Dwarves cannot represent the overall will of the Kingdom of Thaurissan, so they are not reflected.
After seeing Prell's plan, some leaders who had previously ridiculed the Kingdom of Thresh finally understood that the Kingdom of Thresh was not incapable of designing its own emblem, but rather unwilling.
In the end, this pattern was added to the bottom of the diamond-shaped round shield. The integrity of the emblem was not destroyed, and it looked full of wild and unruly style.
In addition to designing camp flags and emblems, the leaders also discussed the political structure of the new tribe. Thrall became the nominal first warchief of the new tribe. For this candidate, Cairne Bloodhoof was indifferent to the world, and Vol'jin
It must be biased towards Thrall, and Prell has an indifferent attitude, because he knows that he and the Kingdom of Thresh he represents do not have enough say.
The new tribe is not a centralized united state, but an alliance of close military, economic, and cultural cooperation. It is more like the European Union on earth than the disintegrated former Soviet Union.
In other words, within their respective forces, the leaders are still the bosses, but when it comes to handling foreign relations and external wars, the new tribes will be under unified command.
Within the tribe, civilians from all sides can enter freely without customs duties, and each country is also allowed to send troops into the other side's sphere of influence with advance notice and permission.
If you want to count the four forces, the Kingdom of Thresh has the largest land area. After all, it occupies more than one-third of the Stonetalon Mountains and has two huge valleys. Followed by the tauren, they are in the Stonetalon Mountains.
The Barrens, Mulgore and Thousand Needles all have their own territories.
The weakest ones are the Darkspear Trolls. They only occupy the Echo Islands and a small area on the west coast of the islands. As for the orcs, they occupy Orgrimmar and extend southward from the city to the Drywater Valley, and on the Raging River.
The west bank occupies a large oasis of silt swamp.
In order to strengthen the connection between each other and promote internal trade and exchanges, Thrall made a suggestion, and the leaders also agreed. That is, in the northeastern region of the Sweetwater Oasis, Prell's four-man team once killed a group of scientists.
Build a military town where Carl's Centaur patrol team is located.
This small town, which is still under planning, was named Crossroads by Thrall. As the first town built after the establishment of the new tribe, it will be jointly funded by the four forces.
