In the world of Azeroth, all the war stories recorded in history and passed down orally, and the various intelligent races participating in them, have the same goal in two words: Survive!
For example, the war between the former great troll empire and the bug-man empire, such as the war between the former great elven empire and the trolls, such as the vrykul who degenerated into the current human beings after being cursed by flesh and blood, and went south to the Eastern Kingdom.
War with trolls, such as in ancient times
The war between the elves and the Burning Legion, such as the war between humans and dwarves against two orc invasions, such as the ongoing war against the undead natural disasters, and the war that is not seen in the annals of history but is constantly happening in other non-mainstream indigenous peoples.
War between races.
In the world of Azeroth, the law of the jungle is vividly displayed, cruel and direct. For many intelligent races, the greatest luxury is peace, and the greatest luxury is also peace. Although it is not exaggerated to go without war for years, Azeroth
The mainstream of Sri Lanka's history is still war rather than peace.
Just like the civil war between the centaur clans in Desolation, its fundamental cause is still the existential contradiction between different interest groups.
The result of this civil war was that the Galak clan completely withdrew from the Desolate Land, and all the main forces of the Korkar clan withdrew, leaving only a small Korkar village in the east.
The Garak clan is now mainly distributed in Thousand Needles, but that land full of huge stalagmites and towering bare stone pillars is too barren to meet the survival needs of the Garak clan.
Similarly, in recent years, the Kokar clan, which has been huddled in the backwater oasis of the barren land, has been under great pressure to survive. Originally, at the beginning, the two major clans, Kokar and Garak, were chasing the migrating tauren and broke into
After the Barrens, it once took over three large oases, including the Sweetwater Oasis and the Pool of Oblivion.
However, the quilboars, harpies, tauren, and the sudden rise of Thresh Kingdom jointly mobilized troops several times, plus the orcs and trolls coming from the west, the Kokar clan had to shrink completely.
This also forced the Kokar clan to turn its attention back to the desolate land. However, as a result of the Centaur civil war, the Kokar clan had to give up its plan to return to the army and once again turned its energy and attention to the barren land.
land.
Centaurs are a race with extremely strong reproductive capabilities, otherwise it would not have been possible for them to be born, rise up, and drive the tauren far away from their homeland in a short period of time.
Now, when the centaur once again set its sights on the barren land, it suddenly discovered that this originally empty prairie had suddenly become extremely crowded.
On both sides of the Raging Water River, the orcs established a sphere of influence centered on Orgrimmar, and the east bank of the Raging Water River was also divided between the Darkspear trolls and the Razor Ridge Steelmane quilboar.
Moreover, the tribe established a crossroads in the eastern part of the Sweetwater Oasis. Although this military town is not large, it has an important geographical location. The tribe has roughly built a road from the entrance of the Stonetalon Mountains to Razor Ridge by the Nurshui River.
The crossroads is right in the middle of this road.
If the Giant Wilderness is used as the boundary, then the entire Barrens can be roughly divided into three major parts, the Northern Barrens north of the crossroads, and the Northern Barrens occupied by orcs, trolls, Razorhill quilboars, and the always friendly Witchwing clan.
The harpies took over and completely became the tribe's sphere of influence.
Going south from the crossroads, there is Thorn Ridge to the southeast and Agamagog to the southwest, which are respectively occupied by the two major clans of wild boars, Steelmane and Thornback, all the way to the Giant Wilderness, which can be regarded as the Middle Barrens.
The Kokar clan, which occupies the backwater oasis, can be said to be the only force currently hostile to all the intelligent races in the Barrens.
As for the cliffs south of the Giant Wilderness to the edge of Thousand Needles, there are quilboars in Blackthorn Mountain, as well as quilboars in Razorfen, Razor Highlands, the dwarven excavation site of Baal Modan, and the quilboar at the entrance to Dustwallow Marsh.
A small tribal stronghold.
In other words, the emergence of orcs and trolls, and the establishment of tribes, have occupied all the originally ownerless land, and the centaurs no longer have any land or space to expand.
But in order to survive, the centaurs must rush out of the backwater oasis, at least break out of the encirclement formed by the steel-maned wild boar people in the Thorn Ridge, the thornback wild boar people, and the tribes at the northwest crossroads.
As the chief of the Kokar clan, Dezpa Khan led the clan's herdsmen and troops from the Desolate Land via Feralas to Thousand Needles, and headed towards the backwater oasis without even using the
Think about it, anyone who knows this news can guess what the centaur's next plan is.
The news was sent back by the Tauren Raptor Druid in Black Cloud Peak in Thousand Needles. It was first sent back to Thunder Bluff, then to the Kingdom of Thresh, and then to Orgrimmar.
As the centaur's feud, the tauren have always paid close attention to the backwater oasis, Thousand Needles and the Desolate Land. But now the tauren are busy building Thunder Bluff and building their new home in Mulgore. A large number of
Tauren migrated from north to south.
Therefore, Cairn Bloodhoof originally intended to expand the size of the Moshacher outpost in Feralas, but considering the actual situation, it never happened. However, their surveillance of the centaurs did not relax at all.
Due to the precedent of the Witchwing Clan, the relationship between the tauren and the harpies of the Windfury Clan in the Mogore region is now relatively harmonious. This is because the Kingdom of Thresh has explored and developed the blackstone mine, and some of the excavated coal has been exported to Mogao.
The mine area provided that at least the tauren would not attack the forest for fuel, so they would not threaten the living space of the Windfury clan.
Coupled with the tauren's always simple and honest racial character, they have started trade with the Windfury clan, exchanging supplies with each other, and their economic ties have become closer. As a result, many conflicts and problems can basically be solved through negotiation.
Moreover, Cairn Bloodhoof strictly abided by the agreement he had made with Screaming Thornblade. Although the tauren continued to migrate into Mulgore, they never crossed the south of Stone Ox Lake and mainly lived and moved on the north side of the great lake. This made Thornblade
The back clan could never find an excuse to fall out.
As for the other indigenous race that originally lived in the Mogore area, the White Mane clan gnolls, they live in the southwest of Stone Niu Lake and have not had much conflict with the tauren for the time being.
Cairn Bloodhoof also tried to have a good relationship with the Whitemane Clan, just like the Windfury Clan, but the results were not satisfactory. The Whitemane Clan had no intention of getting too close to other races, but at least they were not Tauren.
The enemy of man, this result so far makes Kane Bloodhoof very satisfied.
The news first reached Prell, and we can see the attitude of the tauren leaders headed by Kane Bloodhoof towards the Kingdom of Thresh.
From the beginning, Prell showed great goodwill to the Tauren. After the establishment of the Kingdom of Thresh, the cooperation between the two parties became even closer. It can be said that within the tribe, the relationship between the Tauren and the Kingdom of Thresh is far greater than that of the Kingdom of Thresh.
The orcs and the Darkspear Trolls are closer and are truly trustworthy partners.
Putting aside these, Prell actually hopes for peace and stability in the Barrens more than any other race or force. The Kingdom of Thresh has now developed into a small country based on mining, processing industry, cash crop agriculture, and military industry.
The commercial kingdom has close trade relations with other members of the tribe and forces with good relations with the tribe.
Therefore, although the military strength of the Thresh Kingdom is somewhat inferior and is barely stronger than the Darkspear Trolls, its economic strength can be said to be the best within the tribe.
Under such circumstances, regardless of his close relationship with the tauren, Prell would stand on the side of the tauren and jointly deal with the centaur, the disruptor.
It's just that the four major forces of the tribe have always advanced and retreated together, especially when facing a possible war, so as soon as the news reached Orgrimmar, Prell immediately set off for the Gale Valley to prepare for the deployment of troops.
Orgrimmar, Thrall has a headache over this news. Today's tribe really needs a period of peaceful development. Orcs are coming from the Eastern Kingdom in a steady stream to resettle these defectors.
The tribesmen have to deal with various different interest demands within the orcs, and even deal with the relationships between some conflicting orc clans, leaving this young orc chief and tribal chief in a hurry.
As the leader of the Darkspear Trolls, Vol'jin is now based in Orgrimmar. After all, it's a bit ugly to say that the Darkspear Trolls are now subordinates of the orcs, and he must be consistent with Thrall in everything.
Thrall immediately held a meeting. Whether to send troops to guard against a possible Centaur attack was no longer an issue, because all participants knew that as a whole, even if the Centaur just declared war on the Tauren, the tribe would go all out.
As the initiators and protectors of the new tribe, the orcs have the obligation to protect the safety of the other three constituent forces of the tribe.
However, many leaders at the meeting started to argue about the centaur's next move. Grom Hellscream strongly expressed his intention to send troops to the backwater oasis in one go to completely eradicate the cancer in this barren land.
Different from the original history, Grom Hellscream did not kill Cenarius, who was killed by Archimonde himself on Mount Hyjal.
He was not sent to Ashenvale to cut down trees to build Orgrimmar. In fact, most of the orcs had already evacuated Ashenvale, but only retained a patrol team in Ashenvale and Azshara, and this also received the Dark Night
The acquiescence of the elves.
The tribe's wood is now basically provided by the Thresh Kingdom and the Witchwing Clan. Grom was sent to the Silt Swamp to protect the orcs who settled there.
As one of the four oases in the Barrens, the silt swamp covers a large area, but just like its name, this oasis has too many swamps and has experienced uncontrolled development by venture capital companies. The orcs use it as their base.
, began to drain the swamps, reclaim farmland, and protect the pumice mines.
After more than a year of development, the silt swamp has been able to satisfy the survival of hundreds of thousands of orcs, and this has also made Grom, who is in charge of local affairs, coveting the other three oases in the Barrens.
In fact, the first five-year plan of the tribe that Thrall presided over and learned from Prell included uniting with the Witchwing clan to develop the Forgotten Pool, but it has not yet been implemented.
In Grom's view, the backwater oasis is very close to the Ratchet City that Gazlowe is planning and building. If the centaurs can be defeated and completely driven out, the tribe can occupy that rich oasis and develop it into another
A new home.
His proposal was supported by many leaders, because the survival pressure of the orcs is now too great. Moreover, occupying the backwater oasis has another advantage. The tribe can completely settle in the Middle Barrens, and can occupy the surrounding areas that are already occupied by wild boars.
A land abandoned by humans.
Thrall has some different opinions. As the supreme leader, he must think more deeply than others. Occupying the backwater oasis means that the tribe will completely offend the Thorn Ridge wild boars and the thornback wild boars. He must consider the future.
