Just as the new tribal leaders gathered in Orgrimmar to discuss how to solve the war problem brought by Daelin Proudmoore, another bad news came from Mulgore.
Near Stone Cow Lake, a small village built by the tauren to draw water was attacked by Garrak Centaur. Bain Bloodhoof, the son of Cairn Bloodhoof, was also captured!
Because when the tauren entered the Mogore area before, they had an agreement with the quilboars of the Thornback clan, with Stone Cow Lake as the boundary, the tauren's main activity range was in the northwest region centered on today's Thunder Bluff.
In order to minimize foreign enemies when building Thunder Bluff, Cairn Bloodhoof has been restraining his tribe and has not extended his sphere of influence to the south and southeast of Stone Cow Lake.
Ever since the last time the indigenous coalition launched a backwater oasis war against the Kokal Centaurs, the Kokal clan has been very low-key, so low-key that all the indigenous races mistakenly thought that the Centaurs had completely disappeared.
Since the Battle of Mount Hyjal attracted too much attention from all parties involved in the war, and the continued construction of Thunder Bluff after the war, and the survival and development of the tauren, Cairn Bloodhoof's energy was focused on how to lead his people to live a better life.
The constant monitoring of Desolace is somewhat relaxed.
In fact, the civil war between the centaurs in Desolace has ended. The Kokar clan did not have the upper hand. At that time, it also forced the Magram clan to choose a truce. After all, the output of Desolace is not rich enough to support two powerful clans for many years.
of war.
After the civil war ended, the armies of the Kokar clan returned to the Barrens one after another. However, Dezpa Khan was more thoughtful. He divided his nomadic soldiers into small groups and fought in Garak in Thousand Needles.
Near the clan's territory, they are constantly dispatched to the backwater oasis.
After all, the Barrens is too vast. If there is a large-scale military operation, the tauren druids and scouts who have been responsible for scouting this area will easily be able to detect it. However, if the Kokar clan marches towards the backwater oasis in a small group, it will be very difficult for them.
It is difficult to observe them all in time.
So the centaurs of the Kokar clan and some of the Garak clan moved to the backwater oasis one after another in this way, and once again gathered tens of thousands of soldiers.
Compared with the increasingly cautious Kokar clan, the Garak clan suffered very little losses in the Centaur civil war, and the Garak clan had previously launched an attack on the tauren migrating from Thousand Needles, and it was in that battle that
, the tauren were helped by the orcs who suddenly appeared, and gained the orcs' friendship.
In that attack, the Garak clan colluded with the Screaming Thornback clan, and this time the raid on Stone Cow Lake was once again facilitated by the Thornback clan.
Regardless of the fact that the Thornback clan participated in the battles of Azshara and Mount Hyjal, their relationship with the tauren has not been greatly eased. Screaming. Thornback has always disliked the outside tauren, and the tauren have recently...
Forming a tribe with orcs made him even more worried and unhappy.
What was dissatisfied was that Screaming Thornmane believed that the quilboar were the largest force in the Barrens, but the alliance of orcs, trolls, tauren and kobolds did not invite him. He felt extremely insulted.
What is worrying is that since the Tauren began to build Thunder Bluff, they have been constantly exploring the surrounding areas. Once the Tauren have completely established their footing and introduced tribal forces, it may be even more difficult for the Thornback clan to monopolize Mogolei.
It's difficult.
So driven by various emotions and interests, when the Garak Clan once again sent a representative to contact Screaming Thornmane, the great chief of the Thornback Clan chose to turn a blind eye.
Originally, the tauren built Taurajo Camp near the entrance from the Barrens to Mogore, but the camp was still some distance from the entrance to the Grand Canyon, and Taurajo Camp was located at the south-central end of the Agamagog region.
Screaming Thornmane is also dissatisfied with the existence of this tauren camp.
It's just that Camp Taurajo has recently welcomed a new group of guards, including some orcs, trolls and Riverclaw Gnolls. Therefore, the Garak clan was very cautious and did not follow the advice of the Thornback Quilboar and did not move Camp Taurajo.
As the target of the sneak attack, the small tauren village by Shiniu Lake was chosen.
With the Thornback clan acting as internal agents, the armies of Garak and Kokar clan quickly passed through the Grand Canyon at night and entered the Mulgore region. They once again sneaked into the village of Bain and Bloodhoof at night and captured him.
A former tauren chieftain.
Hearing this news, Cairn Bloodhoof was immediately anxious. The fertility rate of tauren was not high, and he had a son at an old age. He only had a son like Bain as his heir, so Cairn Bloodhoof couldn't sit still.
, immediately expressed that he would go back to save his son.
Thrall quickly dissuaded him and said: "Since we have chosen to become allies and unite under the banner of the tribe, the affairs of any ally are our business! I decided to send troops to help Chief Kane, what do you think?
?”
Wo'jin naturally had no objections, and neither did Prell. The relationship between the Kingdom of Thresh and the Tauren was too close, and he was bound to help with this favor.
So Thrall immediately ordered as the chief of the tribe that all armies gathered at the crossroads and marched to the backwater oasis to rescue Baine Bloodhoof and teach the centaurs an unforgettable lesson.
In terms of military, the biggest problem of the tribe is that among the four forces today, the differences between warriors from various races are too great. For example, the tauren are too tall and tall, and the trolls are too thin. As for the Kingdom of Thresh, there are even more differences.
There are highs and lows, so Thrall has not chosen to unified command and build the tribe's army until now.
After all, this involves various issues such as logistics, supplies, and tactical use. It is difficult to unify just the equipment. After all, the armor of the tauren is too big for the orcs, and the armor of the trolls does not fit even the gnolls.
Not to mention kobolds.
Because of this, the leaders of all parties still retain the right to command the armies of their own forces, but the power of external diplomacy and war is given to the chief of the tribe.
At the crossroads, Prell and Rexxar led two thousand Thresh Kingdom garrison troops stationed in the east of the Sweetwater Oasis. The tauren did not dispatch too many troops.
This is not because the tauren do not want to contribute, but after the attack on Stone Cow Lake, Cairn Bloodhoof has completely distrusted the quilboars of the Thornback clan. He rarely showed a tough stance and sent a large number of troops
They were mobilized near Shiniu Lake and prepared to march from there to the Taurajo camp.
The assembled tribal army is composed of orc soldiers as the main force, and the number exceeds 8,000. After all, it is not an exaggeration to say that the orcs are all soldiers nowadays.
But before the official dispatch of troops, Thrall was extremely cautious to ask Prell to come forward and go to Agamagog to talk to Screaming Thornmane. After all, the Thornback quilboar once fought side by side with them as comrades against the Burning Legion.
However, Thrall does not want to create another enemy for the tribe.
So Prell, as an envoy, once again set out on the road. He did not bring many followers, except for Eitrigg, who was Thrall's advisor and head of the newly established intelligence department of the tribe, and brought a small group of wolf cavalry.
Only a band of kobold and gnoll soldiers followed.
Screaming Thornmane did not stay in the Thornblade Canyon in the southeast of the Mulgore region, but in a quilboar village under a huge vine in the north-central part of the Agamagog region, north of Taurazu Camp.
Knowing that it was Prell who came to ask for a meeting, Scream and Thornmane hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed to meet Prell.
Chiefs of the same clan or force, Screaming Thornmane, had a complicated attitude towards Prell. When he first met Prell, he believed that the kobold was just a vassal of the tauren and was elected by the tauren.
He came out as a puppet, so he was full of contempt.
But after the battle in the Backwater Oasis, he realized that he might have made a mistake, and at that time, the Thresh Kingdom was the only force other than the Venture Capital Corporation that could provide weapons to the indigenous races, so Screaming Thornmane
Start trying to have more contact with the Kingdom of Thresh.
When it comes to trade and business, the Thresh Kingdom pays great attention to integrity. Although they are too close to the tauren, Screaming Bristlemane's attitude towards Prell has begun to change. In his opinion, he can lead
For the kobolds, a race that has always been at the bottom of the racial discrimination chain in the world of Azeroth, to reach this stage, Prell can be considered a talent.
Later, as the Venture Capital Company was defeated by Thresh Kingdom, Screaming Thornmane finally corrected his mentality and began to regard Prell as a person who could be on an equal footing with him.
In the ensuing Battle of Azshara and the Battle of Mount Hyjal, Screaming Thornmane had already developed admiration for Prell. Although he never expressed it, subconsciously, he had feelings for the kobolds who were in the same situation as the quilboar.
There is some empathy for the achievements and combat capabilities of the races at the lower levels of the racial discrimination chain.
It's just that his mentality has changed recently, because the new tribe invited the Thresh Kingdom but did not invite him. This shows that in the eyes of the orcs and tauren, his status as Screaming. Thornmane is not as good as that of Preel and Thornback Boar.
Humans are far inferior to kobolds.
It was in this state of mind that Screaming Bristlemane met with Prell. Prell knew Screaming Bristlemane's character. Although the chief of the Thornback clan had a lot more thoughts than the average wild boar,
But he still likes to be straightforward. This is of course because his IQ is not enough to support him in playing too complicated tricks.
So Prell said bluntly: "Dear Chief Thornmane, as the messenger of the tribe, I want to know what you and your Thornback clan really think about centaurs, tauren, and the tribe. I think this will be important to you."
It benefits both of us."
Screaming Thornmane sat on the blanket on the ground, stared at Prell and said: "We are both an indigenous race, and I have always disliked the tauren. They are the ones who attracted the centaurs. I also hate those dirty, disgusting and...
Savage Centaur."
He leaned forward slightly: "In fact, I hate all outsiders. The Barrens is where we wild boar people have lived for generations. Although it is a vast grassland, it cannot accommodate too many races to survive. If you kobolds dare
Once you step into the Agamagog region, I will also launch a war against you!"
His threats had no effect on Prell, who laughed: "The Barrens is large enough to accommodate more races, but the centaurs are an exception. It is said that the two major clans of Thornback and Steelmane are known
The number of quilboar in the Barrens and Mulgore exceeds 4 million, while the Horde only has 700,000. What are you worried about?
Look at the Centaurs. They have been trying to occupy the Sweetwater Oasis and the Forgotten Pool from the beginning. How many large oases are there in the Barrens? They have already occupied the Backwater Oasis, which used to be the territory of the quilboar!"
Squealing and Thornmane were stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't know how many people there were in the tribe, but Prell said this, but judging from the comparison of numbers, the wild boars clearly had an absolute advantage.
Naturally, Prell only mentioned quantity but not quality. Screaming and Thornmane may not be able to understand this immediately. Even if he did, with his proud character, he probably would not admit that the wild boars are better than other people.
Any race is bad.
He pondered for a while, and then asked: "So what do you mean, or what do your combined forces and tribes mean?"
