Both sides of the canyon leading from Coke Valley to Desolation Land, and even the mountainside halfway up, are bare, with no trace of vegetation at all.
The hellfire and evil energy cast by the centaurs and orc warlocks completely polluted the area, and there was a lack of adequate cover, so Prell decided to travel day and night to avoid the patrols of the centaur scouts.
While walking through the Charred Valley, the soul walker Pierto Thunderhorn, who had been lagging behind even Braylin Fire Fist, had finally caught up.
Tamra Wasteland still had an obvious repulsive attitude, and Antana Windwhisper silently stood by her side, so this silent soul walker seemed even more silent.
Prell tried to comfort him, but the honest tauren shook his head. He had adapted to the discrimination against him by his fellow tribesmen, and even he thought he was ominous, which made Prell sigh heavily.
.
After two nights and one day, the increasingly silent team finally passed through the canyon and arrived at the desolate place.
There was only a canyon separated from the Coke Valley. Standing on the bare mountainside and looking into the distance, Prell couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Compared with the red soil on the east bank of the Nushui River in the Barrens, the only color in the Desolate Land is tawny. The tawny land and the tawny mountains, at a glance, even the ground is bare, even the weeds are there.
Can't see.
Prell couldn't help but wonder: How did the tauren survive in this barren and desolate land? Tamra Wasteland seemed to be aware of the thoughts in his eyes, and sighed softly: "Many years ago, although here, although
It's also barren, but at least it's still a grassland.
Our tauren ancestors have lived here for generations, raising and grazing kodo beasts and cattle. However, as the centaur race continues to grow, and we are both nomadic races, in order to compete for the few grasslands, conflicts began to occur.
Various frictions and contradictions arose, and eventually a war broke out that continues to this day.
Although the Desolate Land is large, the barren land cannot support the two races. When Chief Cairn Bloodhoof finally made up his mind to lead his people to move away from this place, the centaurs with strong fecundity had turned large tracts of grassland into wasteland.
Maybe it won’t be long before this place will become a desert!”
Antana Wind Whisper is a new generation of tauren born in the Stone Dwelling of the Burning Sun. This is the first time she has set foot in the Desolate Land, the land where her ancestors once lived. After hearing Tamra Wasteland's words, Heifer
Looking melancholy into the distance.
Tamra Wasteland pointed to the left: "There is a small team of outsiders in the mountains to the east of the canyon mouth. The night elves have stationed a small team here. I don't know what their purpose is, although the Tauren
Humans and elves have relatively close contact through the Cenarion Circle, but the night elves don't seem to care about other things. They have their own planned tasks, so we shouldn't disturb them."
Prell nodded: "Then, let's go to the west!" Tamra Wasteland shook her head: "The coast to the west is occupied by a group of Nagas, and the group of orc warlocks coming from the sea
We have built a huge military fortress, which is also full of dangers. Come with me!"
So the group of people followed Tamra Wasteland and walked eastward along the mountainside, arriving at the foot of the mountain in a small valley. In this small valley, there was actually a small patch of big trees and green grass.
Spreading, forming patches of grassland.
"This is the night elves working hard to repair this destroyed land." Tamra Wasteland explained, and then she pointed to a ruins: "This may be the remains of the elves. I don't know how many years it has been there!"
Following the direction of her finger, Prell saw a damaged stone pillar that was half buried in the ground. The stone pillar was covered with grass and vines, and there were faintly visible circular carvings on it, but they were eroded by the years.
, the original appearance is no longer visible.
They circled out of the valley and found a campsite among the mountains to the west. This was a gap in the mountains, through which the salty sea breeze blew.
On the flat land between the mountains, Prell looked up at an elven-style mage tower. This mage tower was made of stone masonry and fit perfectly. It also had many patterns that were difficult to identify. The upper half of the mage tower had disappeared.
, surrounded by mossy gravel.
The sun has set slantingly on the sea in the west. Under the dim sunset, this mage tower, which has existed for an unknown number of years, looks particularly mottled.
Prell even had endless reveries about time and history. Then he shook his head and walked into the mage tower.
On the first floor of the tower, the ground was covered with dust, and there seemed to be traces of bonfires. The stairs to the second floor had been destroyed, and half of the remaining tower body was full of holes and loopholes. The setting sun, mixed with the sea breeze, shone overhead.
Howling.
Tamra Wasteland skillfully sprinkled some powder on a few picked dead branches. Under her instructions, a group of people lit torches and took photos everywhere inside and outside the tower. Soon there were seven or eight people there.
An earth-yellow scorpion fled in a hurry.
"Let's spend the night here tonight! Have a good rest. I guess the Centaur army will gather in three to five days at most. You can see the direction of the valley entrance from here. Once the Centaur army breaks into the Coke Valley, we can rest assured
Entering the rear!" Tamra Wasteland's tone was still cold, because Pierto Thunderhorn was standing not far away.
So the two little girls Lestalen and Antana Windwhisper went together to collect firewood for the fire. Belga accompanied them, while the others spread out to look for suitable prey.
The northern part of Desolace is mainly home to various wasteland scorpions, scavenging vultures and black-backed lizards. Most of the wild creatures in the world of Azeroth are huge, but snakes are not that exaggerated.
Prell smashed the head of a small green snake with a hammer with both hands, pulled it out from the crack in the stone and stuffed it into his satchel. Chen Stormstout's eyes lit up: "Snake meat is delicious! Haha, Prell
Hey, it seems that we are also of the same mind and love food and wine! Haha!"
Prell laughed. Due to Tamra Wasteland's attitude, everyone was silent along the way. Only the panda man was still optimistic and cheerful. He saw the reluctant wild boar Amedee behind him.
Oh, Player suddenly got angry again.
Their hunting target is the black-backed lizard. The meat of this creature is not considered delicious, but according to Tamra Wasteland, it is the only animal in this area that can be safely eaten.
After waiting for six days in the small valley where the mage tower is located, the group finally waited for the first team of centaur soldiers.
Judging from the clothing, this is a centaur nomadic tribe of the Kokar clan with about 2,000 people. They drive their cattle, as if looking for new pastures to migrate, spread out over the mountains and fields, and gather at the mouth of the valley.
The second team that arrived was relatively small, only about a hundred people, wearing black and red robes. These were green-skinned orc warlocks, both male and female. They were driving a cart driven by the Kodo beasts.
. Moreover, their camp tents were not mixed with the centaur army that arrived first, but were pitched alone in the west.
In the next few days, more centaur tribes arrived one after another. Prell only saw two colors, the blue Garak clan and the dark red Kokar clan.
Although the gathering speed was not fast, the combined army of centaurs and orc warlocks sent out troops very quickly. After gathering about 10,000 troops, the army quickly marched towards the Charred Valley, leaving only a mess on the ground.
Tamra Wasteland has drawn a simple and rough map of the Desolate Land. She looked at Prell: "Then, what should we do next? I will follow your command, Captain."
Prell touched his chin: "Let's go to the Kodo Cemetery. If I guessed correctly, the centaurs will definitely use it as a storage place for food supplies. It's not very far from the orcs' Thunder Ax Fortress.
, and it is also convenient for the centaurs to hunt the Kodo beasts that have returned to the cemetery in old age. If I were the commander, it would be most appropriate to choose this place as the logistics rear area."
Tamra Wasteland said nothing, and the Pandaren Chen Stormstout nodded his furry head in agreement. Prell continued: "If we find a small group of centaurs or orcs along the way, they will be ours."
Kill the target. We must learn from the Centaur and carry forward the guerrilla harassment tactics. The so-called 'tit for tat' is the truth!"
Tamra Wasteland finally nodded. Only now did she feel that Prell, the kobold captain, was quite competent.
The five major centaur clans are divided. The Malodi clan is mainly distributed in the Spear Valley outside Marathon. The Kyrgyz clan is distributed in the southwest of Desolation, near the north of Feralas. The Magram clan is not in harmony with the Kyrgyz clan.
, are distributed in the east and southeast of Desolation.
The Kokal clan migrated to the Barrens as a whole, and the Garak clan migrated to Thousand Needles as a whole. Only a few tribes of these two clans were scattered in the north of Desolation, and they were unified under the command of a centaur warlord.
This time, the two major clans of Kokar and Garak came out with their young men, and most of the ones left behind were women and children. In Centaur tradition, there is no room for the weak to survive, so those cubs that were found to be weak and sick at birth were all killed by them.
Abandoned ruthlessly.
Prell followed an old kodo they found halfway. Kodos are herbivores with a docile personality. Their huge size makes them have few natural enemies, so they come from the Desolate Land.
, Feralas, and are distributed all the way to the Barrens.
Whenever kodo beasts feel that their lives are about to come to an end, they will travel long distances, no matter how far the journey is, to the central valley of Desolace, where they will quietly wait for death to come. Therefore, the tauren
This valley filled with kodo bones was named the Kodo Cemetery.
Then Prell and his party discovered a small centaur tribe of the Kokar clan with about a dozen tents. Prell looked back at his teammates and said solemnly and seriously: "Please remember, now
During the war, we should not consider whether our actions are just. War has never been about justice. Attacks, harassment and massacres against the enemy's rear are also a manifestation of tactics.
Remember, don’t have any pity! The hatred and war between races have always been life and death! Let’s go, this will be our first battle in the Desolate Land, and there will be more and more battles in the future!
"
He briefly mobilized, and then walked towards the tent group along the waist-high withered yellow grass.
