The first thing Tonatiu's fleet encountered were refugees, many, many refugees.
"They said they escaped from the Wharton Desert."
Onboard the [Sand Walker]...
The leaders of this expedition are basically gathered on the flagship.
Kezila was sent out by Tonatiu to inquire about the various large and small ships coming out of the direction of Zandalar and communicate with them.
It turned out that the coalition of orcs and blood trolls not only went all the way south, but also went north from Nazmir into the Vol'dun Desert to attack the native races in the desert.
Vol'dun is located in the northwest of Zandalar, a vast and unforgiving land.
It borders Nazmir to the east and Zandalar to the south. This land is covered with gravel hills, salt plains and rugged mountains.
This is somewhat similar to Tanaris, but the materials and output are obviously much richer than Tanaris.
At least there are many more biological groups living here than in Tanaris.
Snake people, fox people, Zandalar trolls, and even some humans can live here for a long time.
In such a dry area, there are even turtle people on the beach.
Same as Tanaris.
This vast desert was once a jungle full of life and vitality, but the war between the Yaqir Empire and the Troll Empire destroyed it.
After the First Sundering, the ancient continent of Kalimdor collapsed, and the Zandalari Mountains became islands along with the torn land.
Gradually, the Zandalari trolls captured the criminals in the Vol'dun Desert, leaving them to fend for themselves.
In fact, most trolls will die, but a small number of Zandalari trolls will survive, and they will become more tenacious.
Without the invasion of external forces, the Wharton Desert would probably have maintained this cruel and disordered state, but it has continued for tens of thousands of years.
The invasion of the orcs and blood trolls changed this situation. The Serpent Empire was the first to bear the brunt, and the three Serpent Guardians, who had become increasingly separated, had to reunite under this huge pressure.
Sulsis, Warwick, and Ko'thek once again joined forces and worked together to fight against the blood trolls and orcs just as they had fought against Mythrax.
It's a pity that this time they no longer have a kind Loa who is willing to sacrifice to save them.
The army of the Serpent Empire was locked in a bitter battle. The Zandalari trolls and foxmen, the ancestor turtles and a small group of humans who were not outstanding in the area began to evacuate from the desert.
It is rumored that those green-skinned monsters are as bloodthirsty and cruel as the blood trolls, but they are more powerful and terrifying.
The reputation of the blood trolls on Zandalar Island can be imagined. The orcs are hooking up with them, not to mention that they are already bloodthirsty and cruel now that they are controlled by demons.
Even if they were originally good people, they were implicated in the bad reputation of the blood trolls.
The Zandalari warlord stationed in Vol'dun, Warlord Zakaze also claimed that the orcs and blood trolls invaded Vol'dun to kill all the creatures in the desert.
The Governor claimed that those who do not want to die unexpectedly, the best choice is to leave here, and the Governor's Mansion of Zandalar Volton will provide some help as much as possible.
One after another, refugees began to flee the Vol'dun Desert. Most of them were trolls and vixen, as well as a small number of ancestor turtles.
The refugees encountered by the Troll Empire Expeditionary Force were the first batch of refugees to flee.
"Why didn't they go to Zuldazar?" Tonati'u asked Kzilla.
Leaving Vol'dun Desert, the best place to go is Zuldazar. All the intelligent creatures on Zandalar Island, as well as the blood trolls, have a fascination with the life in Dazar'alor.
It is almost the same as the Sheepdogs on Earth who yearn to go abroad to breathe the oil-rich air.
"The coalition of orcs and blood trolls is also attacking Zuldazar, and their attack on Zuldazar is more than 10 times as powerful as their attack on Vol'dun Desert," Kzilla explained.
"This group of refugees is worried that it will be unsafe if they go to Zuldazar. Warlord Zakaze said that they might be able to temporarily escape to the coast of the Broken Islands and wait for later rescue."
After hearing this, Tonatiu looked silently at the many small boats hoping to follow the fleet.
There is still some hope for these small ships to reach the Broken Isles from Zandalar, but for them to cross the ocean, it is almost harder than reaching the sky.
"Has the situation there reached this point?" Tonatiu said thoughtfully.
No one present could answer his question.
"Everyone."
Suddenly, a petite Kaldorei sentry behind Shandris Feathermoon pointed to the sky, and she spoke crisply.
"Look at the sky. Look at that bird. It shouldn't be there. But it has been there for a long time."
Everyone followed the direction she pointed and looked up at the sky. Sure enough, there was a big black bird hanging there.
In front of the elf girl who spoke, Shandis Yuyue's eyes, which were originally slightly dim during the day, suddenly radiated light.
"That's right. That's not a bird. It could be a mage, or some kind of spellcaster we don't know."
Shandis Yuyue, who used some kind of long-distance observation magic, said firmly.
Tonatiu also looked at the sky.
Unfortunately, his vision was not as good as the Kaldorei's. He could see a black bird in the sky.
It was so far away that I couldn't even see what it looked like.
"How about teaching it a lesson?"
Tonatiu suddenly said eagerly.
"It flew too high. It's daytime now, and I can't hit it." Shandis Yuyue said simply.
"Let me try it!"
Tonatiu directly pressed his big hand on the deck, grabbed a piece of sawdust from the wooden deck, and aimed at the unidentified bird in the sky.
"You want to use this to attack it? It's so far away, and this piece of wood has no attack power..." Shandis then the petite elf girl said in disbelief.
"Try it." Tonatiu smiled at her. According to the system's ability assessment, her name was:
Tonatiu didn't think much, the power of faith began to pour into the wood in his hand, and the ordinary piece of wood actually began to shine.
After spending some more power of faith and asking the system to help aim at the target, Tonatiu shouted a sentence in Chinese:
"Let's go!"
The wood that was imbued with mystery turned into a daytime meteor, blasting towards the target with a tail of flames.
Disregarding the aura of materialism, the long-range throwing attack enhanced by the power of faith is Tonatiu's strongest single-target attack.
Peng!
The big black bird in the sky didn't seem to expect Tonatiu's attack to come so quickly. Before it even started to hide, the long-range attack blessed by divine power had already hit it.
