The wind is fierce, the rain is fierce, and the thunder is rolling.
The Valley of Thorns, Trolls Eternal.
When the Split Leopard Clan was completely destroyed by the newly resurrected Hakkari Clan.
Located in the coastal bay in the central and western part of Stranglethorn Vale, in an indented crescent-shaped seaside plain, Zur'an, which has stood tall and fast in recent years, was washed away by the heavy rain.
Zul'an is a pearl of Stranglethorn Vale. Even if you look at the entire Azeroth, it would be difficult to find a trading port with better natural conditions than this one.
Originally, in order to facilitate trade, the goblins of the Steamwheedle Group planned to build more than three new cities around the world in addition to Zutiu. One of them was located in the northernmost bay of Stranglethorn Vale Cape, and planning had even begun.
Later, the Gurubashi trolls, with the assistance of the Zandalari trolls and desert trolls, built a brand new troll city in Zul'an, which caused some changes in the goblins' plans.
Zur'an faces the sea, with flowers blooming in spring. It is located in the middle of Stranglethorn Vale, with gentle gulf currents. There is also a crescent-shaped bay at the mouth of the sea that can be used as a haven. It can be said that it is the most suitable city as a port along the entire Stranglethorn Vale coast.
The goblins of the Steamwheedle Group also wanted to build a city here before, but because this is the territory of the trolls, if the city is built here, the group's defense expenditures will increase hundreds of times.
After a comprehensive weighing, in order to save money and for safety, Steamwheedle Group chose the northernmost tip of Stranglethorn Vale, far away from the troll forces.
But it's different now.
Other goblins do not have that ability, but the Steamwheedle Group has a good relationship with the trolls and is a strategic partner of the Zul Empire. If the Steamwheedle Group wants to develop trade in Stranglethorn Vale, the Gurubashi trolls will not be an obstacle, but will have a certain
of assistance.
Therefore, the construction plan for the commercial port at the northernmost tip of Stranglethorn Vale Cape, formerly known as Booty Bay, was terminated by Mr. Steamwheedle, the chairman of the group. Chairman Steamwheedle placed the Eastern Continental Branch of Steamwheedle Group in Zul'Anli.
A great effort was made in building the new city of the Gurubashi Trolls.
Also because of the addition of goblins, this new city belonging to the Gurubashi trolls has a stronger commercial atmosphere and more vitality.
Regardless of the seemingly ferocious and primitive Gurubashi trolls in the city, Zul'an, the new star city of Stranglethorn Vale, has been rising in status among Azeroth's merchants. There are already many non-goblin and troll merchants,
I took the risk to do business here, only to find that it was very profitable and safe.
So many big nobles and big businessmen in Stormwind City in the north also sent many businessmen to test the situation. Although the two sides had a war not long ago, from the perspective of the superiors, no one would have trouble with beautiful and lovely gold coins.
Goblins and other races are traders, and Zur'an is happily regarded as a new trading hotspot, and they are constantly coming.
The Gurubashi trolls in Zul'Anli only need to collect some business taxes and provide some daily services, and they can live a life dozens of times better than their original life in the forest. Therefore, as Tona and Ti
Zur'an, the gathering place for Gurubashi troll believers in Uzbekistan, currently has the highest living standard in the entire Stranglethorn Valley, not even comparable to the ten thousand-year-old city Zul'Gurub.
The city is run by the Tonatiu Troll Believers Church, which currently adopts a sacrificial council system. Sen'jin, the chief of the Darkspear clan, is the main leader, and other elites from the original Gurubashi trolls are assisting them. Then the Steam Sand Group is the main leader, and others
The business associations that ethnic businessmen join will also assume some management and construction responsibilities.
this day.
It was pouring rain outside, mist filled the air, and the loud patter of rain never stopped.
Most of the merchants and adventurers were hiding in the hotels where they stayed, or in the taverns that would open even if it rained heavily, to avoid the annoying heavy rain in the rainy season.
The city's powerful figures, the priest of the Tonatiu Church in Gurubashi, and several big bosses from the Zur'an Business Association, are gathering in the city hall to discuss matters related to Zur'an and Stranglethorn Vale.
A very long table is placed in the center of the city hall. The size of the table is made according to the size of the Gurubashi troll, so the goblin will look very short when sitting next to it. But it doesn't matter, the chairs of the councilors and big shots are according to the size of the table.
Their shapes are customized, so although the table is large, everyone looks harmonious sitting next to each other.
Senjin sat at the top, opposite him was the door of the city hall, and outside the door was the courtyard square in the pouring rain.
The chief of the Darkspear Clan is not a powerful figure. He is not even ranked in the top 50 in Gurubashi in terms of personal ability or clan power, let alone in Zur'an where all the heroes gather.
In an environment like Stranglethorn Vale where the jungle is strong and the elder is king, a troll like Sen'jin would not be able to sit in this position.
But other Gurubashi trolls, and even the businessmen Dalang from the Business Association, had no objection at all to Sen'jin sitting in that position.
The reason is simple because Sen'jin is the one who has the closest relationship with His Majesty in the entire Stranglethorn Valley and is the one who is most trusted and supported by him.
That Your Majesty... He is the foundation of Zur'an's existence. Without him, there would be no Zul'an now. Without him, the Gurubashi trolls would not have such a shelter. Without him, the merchants of the Eastern Continent would not have such a shelter.
We don't have such a safe commercial hotspot in Stranglethorn Vale.
Coupled with his powerful power and the power of the Zul Empire, even if they are far away, the various characters in Zul'an must respect Sen'jin who has the support of His Majesty.
This is why Senjin can sit in such an important position of power despite being weak both himself and his clan.
Sen'jin knows better than others how much he is capable of. Therefore, he knows what he should do in Stranglethorn Vale. It is not how to make the Darkspear clan grow rapidly, nor is he thinking about unifying the Gurubashi all day long.
Zul'Gurub.
The only thing Sen'jin has been insisting on and working hard to promote in Zul'an is to promote the influence of the two supreme loa of Tona and Tiu in the Gurubashi.
Just like now.
As the nominal speaker, Senjin, who has the highest authority and respect in Zur'an, looked at the big brothers of Zur'an present and spoke in a low voice:
"Those Hakkari who should be fed to the crocodiles, yesterday they conquered eleven more clans. Seven of the clans chose to surrender to the Hakkari after being conquered, and the remaining four clans were all slaughtered.
All."
"On this day of heavy rain. The reason why I asked you to come is because Zur'an can no longer turn a blind eye to the matter about Hakkari and let them develop. Anasik of the Skull Splitting Clan warned him long ago.
We, Anasik believe that allowing Gan'Zur'an and Hakkari to continue like this will one day threaten the spread of Zul'an and the twin gods in Stranglethorn Vale."
"I hope you can speak freely and decide whether Zur'an should send troops or not."
"Now, let's get started."
Senjin knew that he was not capable enough, so he would usually decide matters related to Zur'an through the council. Only matters related to missionary work would be decided by the chief of the Darkspear clan.
After Senjin finished speaking.
The city hall was silent for more than ten seconds.
A short goblin representative was the first to speak: "Hey! Everyone! I don't think we need to pay attention to those Hakkari at all! Those guys are savage and primitive. There is no benefit at all from fighting them, you can only get some skulls! This kind of
I think it’s best not to do a loss-making business!”
This goblin representative is a member of the Business Association. The current Zaun Business Association is mainly made up of goblins. However, it is not just the goblins from the Steamwheedle Group, many other goblins from Andermel also occupy a certain proportion.
The young Hotsand Group is very popular in Under Armor. After clinging to the Zul Empire, the group's rapid development has attracted the attention of many goblin consortiums and businessmen in Under Armor. More and more goblins want to join forces with giants.
When doing business with demons, Zutiu is monopolized by the Hot Sand Group, and the Hot Sand Group there has always been wary of internal competition, so it has been suppressing other goblin merchants.
Unlike here in Zaun, although the Steaming Sand Group is still the most powerful, other goblin consortiums can still have a place here.
The goblin representative had just finished speaking. Before he could sit down completely, a tall and thin jungle troll stood up.
As a big shot in Zul'Anli, everyone is exactly this troll. He is the chief of the Skullsplitter clan, the cruel Anasik, and one of Chancellor Sen'jin's cronies.
As soon as Anasik stood up, he smiled at the goblin representative who had just spoken and said:
"Ah, Mr. Luke. I hope when you do business, you can take your brain out of the velociraptor cesspool and bring it with you!"
The goblin representative who was directly sprayed by him widened his eyes, and Anasik continued to refuse: "I used to only know that cesspits can be clogged with feces, but today I actually saw a goblin's brain being clogged with feces."
"Anasik! Don't bully the goblins too much! No one else is afraid of you, but I'm not afraid of you! I'm a mage!" Luke, the goblin's representative, spat back.
"Mage? Are you good at transformation magic? You are very good at transforming into a beast." Anasik shouted disdainfully. "Mr. Luke, you have no brains even among us Gurubashi trolls."
It can be considered a rare species."
The goblin representative was shaking with anger.
He fired back at Anasik: "Anasik, do you know why the stars in the sky are so bright at night? It's because your mother is blinking!"
"You will explode eight times tonight, lighting up the entire Zaun Strait, forming Love, Me, Zaun!" Anasik spat back without hesitation.
A human businessman representative next to him, who was also the only human in the city hall, couldn't stand it. He stood up and said: "To be honest, starting a war against those Hakkari trolls really doesn't do any good for Zul'an. You don't have to
Greet me, Lord Anasik. I'm not used to Zaun's way of speaking yet."
"If you don't know how Zur'an speaks, then I'm sorry, but you're not worthy of being a Zur'an." Anasik turned the fire and sprayed the human business representative.
The human merchant representative sat down depressedly. He did not respond to Anasik. He had just arrived in Zaun not long ago, and because he was the representative of a certain big shot in Stormwind City, he became a member of the business association. But he was not used to this yet.
The "enthusiastic and harmonious" way of speaking of the residents of this trading hotspot.
Compared with the human merchant representatives, other Zaun people, including the first goblin Luke who was sprayed by Anasik, have long been accustomed to the way Anasik spoke just now.
Even when Luke himself was quarreling with Anasik, the viciousness of his words made human businessmen look at him with suspicion.
I don't know why, but as long as I stay in Zaun for a long time, everyone will start talking like Anasik.
It's just that Anasik is Senjin's mouthpiece. In a sense, his attitude is Senjin's attitude. Usually Anasik doesn't often stand up and speak out.
Now Luke just got up and said a few words, and Anasik caught him saying "Zuan" for so long. A smart person will naturally know what this means.
Fortunately, there are no unintelligent people in this city hall.
Anasik's attitude obviously means that Senjin has already made a decision about the Hakkari troll, so it most likely means that His Majesty's attitude towards Hakkari.
Anasik looked at "Zuan people's way of speaking" and was satisfied to see that no one stood up to speak anymore, so he spoke:
"Dear Speaker! I think we must assemble the army immediately and destroy the regrouped Hakkari! Liberate the Gurubashi trolls who were enslaved by them, and let the names of the two gods shine among more trolls!"
Anasik spoke very loudly, even drowning out the sound of rain outside, but Senjin, who was in charge, seemed not to hear him and was lost in thought.
"Speaker?" When faced with Senkin, Anasik couldn't speak humanly. He reminded loudly. "Sir, Speaker? Did you hear what I just said? I think..."
"call……"
Looking like he was in a daze, Senjin suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Wait a minute. Anasik, His Majesty is calling me. He has something to tell me. I have to listen carefully."
Chief Darkspear's words immediately caused the room to fall into extreme silence. Anasik immediately sat down obediently, and the other representatives all stared at Sen'jin for fear of disturbing him.
for a long time.
Senjin breathed a long sigh of relief.
With the sound of rain outside, the hearts of the representatives inside could not help but rise.
Chief Darkspear had a smile on his face.
"Everyone." He stood up from his seat. "Your Majesty, your Majesty is coming to Stranglethorn Valley!"
