These uninvited guests came from the sky, and there were many of them, hundreds of "people" and a "ship" flying in the sky?
It's not actually a boat.
That's a goblin airship.
Tonatiu stood on the high ground of Modrasin's camp, looking at the goblin airship flying in the sky with interest.
The goblin airship will be an important transportation and combat tool in the future.
Regardless of the plot or gameplay in the game, Hotsand Group has always been the main producer and owner of goblin airships.
in other words.
The research and patents of this technology were originally developed by Hotsand Group and are still the company's products, and are the products of the chairman of Hotsand.
So……
Decades before the Dark Portal opened, it was possible to own a goblin airship, and it was such a primitive-looking airship.
Apparently there are only the trolls' neighbors, Steamwheedle Port and the goblins of Gadgetzan, and Streamwilder Steamwheedle of the Steamwheedle Company.
It was indeed Streamwilder Hotsand and his Hotsand Company.
Two days ago.
A team of goblins sent a letter of visit from Streamwilder Steamwheedle from Gadgetzan.
The goblin businessman said in the letter that in order to celebrate the unification of the desert trolls, Gadgetzan was preparing to send congratulatory gifts.
At the same time, we are all neighbors in the desert. I heard that the desert trolls are preparing to migrate recently, and Hotsand Group and Streamwild are willing to help this giant migration.
Anyway, he said a lot of good things.
The reason for the visit was made clear, and Streamwilder Steamwheedle and his gifts to the trolls were already on their way.
There is a saying among trolls, "A troll who doesn't laugh at you is a troll who greets you with a smile."
Goblins are so sincere.
Also bring gifts.
Tonatiu agreed to his visit and dispatched Zutona's currently sparse Air Force Pterodactyl Corps.
Escort all the way.
Why escort?
Because the goblins came all the way south in their newest vehicle, the goblin airship.
It turned out that it was before this.
The goblin airship has not yet been born, although many goblins in the goblin capital Undermine are studying this technology.
The technicians and engineers of Hotsand Company have created a "safe" and practical goblin airship for the first time. If there is no accident, this visit will be the first performance of the goblin airship on the historical stage of Azeroth.
Tonatiu disagreed very much with the goblins' definition of "safety".
But Tonatiu wanted the goblin airship and the technology to make it very much.
the reason is simple.
For long-distance large freight in Azeroth, in the short term, or even in the long term, there may be only two ways: air transportation and sea transportation.
There is nothing to say about shipping.
As for air transportation, before the gnomes and dwarves joined forces to create their airships, the goblin airship was probably the only long-distance air transportation option.
With the terrain of Zutona and Tanaris and Un'Goro Crater, sea and air transportation will be important in the future.
For shipping technology and cooperation, Tonatiu can try to obtain it from the troll clan through Zandalar channels in this way.
If there are no surprises.
From now to the next sixty years, Zandalar's shipping and shipbuilding technology will always be the strongest in Azeroth.
Even Kul Tiras would have been defeated, if Jaina hadn't cheated during the Battle for Azeroth and destroyed the first fleet of Azeroth, the Zandalari Golden Fleet.
Maybe the Zandalari will always be the first navy in Azeroth.
How strong is Zandalari's sea transportation?
It was so strong that when Deathwing caused a catastrophe in the "original plot", the old Zandalar Island was torn apart and destroyed, but Zandalari was able to build ships and go to sea with Zul's foresight to avoid the Zandalar Island.
Great destruction.
Wait until the disaster is over.
Come back and rebuild your home.
It can transport an entire country and an entire powerful tribe to the sea to avoid disasters. Isn't such a shipping and navy powerful?
As a troll, he is still a troll who seems to have a bright future.
Tonatiu believed that Zandalari habits helped the trolls rise to prominence.
Even people like Zul'Aman who are suppressed by the elves are willing to help. There is no reason why the desert trolls are waiting for help and they don't take action.
If he comes to ask for help and pays some price, he will definitely be able to get Zandalari's help in this regard.
Air freight is no longer an option.
If you want to cross the endless sea, especially for cross-continent transportation, it is unrealistic to use pterodactyls or something like that.
Apart from mages, the only ones who can cross the endless sea by their own flying ability are probably dragons.
Maybe even the giant dragons need to rest in the middle of crossing the endless sea.
Pterodactyls could fly up to a thousand miles in a day and night, which is almost more than 800 kilometers.
Then they won't be able to do it anymore, and they need to rest for two or three days before they can continue flying at such a high intensity.
Under normal circumstances.
No one would use a pterodactyl to fly that far. Even if they were rushing, they would fly during the day and rest at night, or vice versa.
It is obvious that long-distance planes are not possible in Azeroth. It is better not to think about things with different styles such as Airbus A380 and Boeing 737.
That leaves only airships.
First of all, it is large enough, with sufficient cargo and passenger capacity.
Then there's goblin technology.
Although there may be safety hazards, since it is goblin technology, they will sell anything as long as they are willing to pay for it!
Can be purchased.
Technology in the palm of your hand.
Therefore, when he drove the first practical goblin airship in Streamwild Hotsand and said he wanted to come to visit, Tonatiu naturally chose to welcome him.
The last cooperation failed.
But if the deal cannot be concluded, there will be no friendship...
Although this friendship is also very shallow.
For various reasons.
That's why Streamwilder Hotsand visited Modrasin today, and Tonatiu was waiting in Modrasin for the arrival of the goblin merchant.
The airship has flown to the edge of Modrasin, and below is Modrasin's forest land that is twenty or thirty meters high.
It flew about 60 meters in the air, which was not particularly high. From a distance, it looked almost as big as a Brontosaurus in Zutonari.
Tonatiu was curious about how the goblins on the airship could get down at such a high altitude and there was no airship tower station for the goblin airship to dock.
Just when I was curious.
The goblin airship is in action.
Tonatiu saw Streamwilder Sizzle, a big businessman with a very elegant smile who was not "goblin" at all. He saw him on the bow of the airship and greeted him with a smile.
When Tonatiu waved in response.
Streamwilder Heatsand picked up a staff and some feathers.
He read a few words.
Probably a spell.
Immediately afterwards, Tonatiu saw five or six goblins "accidentally" falling from the airship, holding on to the thick and long cable, and fell down.
All right.
Not a fall.
They floated down.
Tonatiu realized that just now Streamwilder Resha was holding the staff and feathers.
It should be to cast a spell on those goblins, maybe "slow fall spell".
Modera said that when using the Slow Fall spell, you need to consume light feathers, and the higher the magic content of feathers used as casting materials, the better the effect of the spell will be.
The best feathers are said to be from the birds of prey transformed by druids...
It is said that the feathers of the druids can even give the Slow Fall spell a slight flying effect.
But Natiu's eyes narrowed. Maybe he could catch a certain druid, collect some feathers, and try the difference?
