Chapter 210 The Arrival of the Troll Ambassador
Long before the rise of the High Elf Empire, trolls had already multiplied in Azeroth for countless years.
After the Well of Eternity exploded, the trolls' once-unbroken territory crumbled, and they are now found all over the world.
The Amani trolls of the Eastern Kingdoms originally occupied the north... The humans of the Arathi Highlands migrated north to compete with the trolls for living space... The humans of the Arathor Empire built the Wall of Thoradin to defend against the trolls and other enemies.
Trolls are numerous, but they are mainly scattered and disunited tribes.
They revere primal life...and worship the gods of the wilderness, mostly powerful beast demigods.
The wild voodoo cult has a long history, and humans have been encroaching on their living space. The high elves, who crossed the ocean... and the Sun King's Sunstrider family, along with high elf mages, wiped out the majority of them...
The remnants of the once-powerful Amani troll empire were forced to retreat to the ancient city of Zul'Aman...
The trolls of Zul'Aman once allied with the original orcish tribes, uniting to destroy the seven human kingdoms and the high elf Quel'Thalas empire... But fate intervened; the orcs were defeated, and the old tribes' offensive was halted...
The Zul'Aman trolls were jointly annihilated by the humans of Lordaeron and the high elves of Silvermoon City. Zul'jin, as the chieftain of the Zul'Aman tribe, was even captured and tortured... The high elves gouged out one of his eyes.
In order to escape, Zuljin had to cut off his own arm...
When Zul'jin learned that the remnants of Silvermoon City had joined Thrall's new Horde faction through Sylvanas's introduction, an enraged Zul'jin announced that the Amani trolls were leaving the Horde, thus breaking with the Horde.
The troll witch doctor Kal'ai, who arrived in Laran this time, was returning from Zul'Aman in a rather unsatisfactory manner...
Her mission to mediate between the blood elves and the Amani descendants failed...
The desert trolls, jungle trolls, frost trolls, and island forest trolls seem unable to unite any longer...
The glory days of the Amani Empire, the Gurubashi jungle tribes, and the Zandalari Empire are over.
Some small troll tribes, such as Skullsplitter, Evil Branch, and Evil Tooth... these few crazy troll tribes, which humans have named ogres, have been hunted down and besieged by so-called human civilization... only one in ten survived, scattered in some remote mountains and valleys... guarding their primitive altars.
According to reports from goblin trade routes, it seems that only the Zandalari tribe still occupies large swathes of islands at sea, maintaining a long-standing standoff with the Kul Tirans... This is because the tribe lacks its own fully armed forces at sea and in the air...
Aside from Vol'jin, the son of Sen'jin, the witch doctor of the Darkspear tribe, whom he encountered while crossing the sea, and Cairne Bloodhoof, the Tauren chieftain of the Tauren tribe, whom he rescued on the Great Plains... Warchief Thrall was unable to contact more natural allies.
The Forsaken joined because the Frostwolf Clan of Alterac Mountains and the Forsaken of Undercity shared a common enemy...
In the northern part of the eastern continent, choosing to ally with Undercity and Silvermoon City inevitably means losing the trust of the troll sub-tribes...
The new tribe is also very different from the old tribe...
The Shadow Council strongly advocated for joint research on the Demon Seed with the necromancers of Undercity.
Thrall has a natural compassion for all oppressed races, but he doesn't completely trust them... As the Warchief of the Horde, he hopes more that the Horde can gain more space to survive in the Eastern Kingdoms.
The Horde is not just the Horde of orcs, at least that's what Thrall always believed...
The tauren of Thunder Bluff and the Darkspear trolls of Echo Isle are allied with Orgrimmar, so they naturally wouldn't oppose Warchief Thrall's decision.
Overall, the new Horde is gaining momentum, especially after Undercity and Silvermoon City joined... Even the goblins seem interested in getting closer, but they lack an opportunity.
If circumstances change, Undercity and Silvermoon City could easily break away from the Horde. Therefore, Thrall will strive to maintain supply lines across both continents to support Undercity's campaign, while simultaneously sending war envoys and representatives to join forces against the Stormwind alliance...
The witch doctor Kalai was utterly helpless. If it weren't for Zul'jin's consideration for her being an envoy, she might not have even made it out of Zul'Aman unscathed... she might have been sacrificed to the Zul'Aman dragonhawks...
It's understandable that the first task of persuading the Amani trolls to join the new Horde failed; in comparison, Undercity and Silvermoon City seem more rational than the fanatical and wild Amani trolls...
Ambassador Kalai the Witch Doctor's second task was to strengthen ties with Undercity and, on behalf of the Horde, help the Undercity Queen conquer the heartland surrounding Alterac.
Secondly, Kale needs to discuss with the Silvermoon City ambassador whether the Blood Elf army can support the battle on the other side.
Now that they've joined the Horde, Blood Elves should naturally make more contributions... to prove their worth.
Unexpectedly, before Kale could even travel to Silvermoon City to speak with the Blood Elf ambassador Kremar, an invitation from Dalaran arrived first. Warchief Thrall and Jaina had a good relationship, and the Kor'kron Elite Guard's messengers immediately conveyed Dalaran's goodwill.
The ambassadors of the Alliance and the Horde arrived in Dalaran simultaneously through the newly established portal. Clearly, preparations had been made on the other side of the portal before its creation. Without permission, Dalaran could not have simultaneously opened magical teleportation channels between different factions.
Stormwind and Orgrimmar simultaneously received a formal declaration of neutrality from Dalaran, inviting the Alliance and Horde to join forces against the enemies threatening Azeroth. These included the remnants of the Scourge entrenched in the north, the Lich King of Northrend in the endless sea, the omnipresent Twilight Cultists, and the demonic armies and their minions waiting for their chance...
The Legion of Light has brought instructions from the Naaru: Shattrath needs more followers to save the shattered world of Outland, using this as a springboard to aim for the Burning Throne...
However, right now, the conflict between the Horde and the Alliance is very real...
The threat from the Frozen Throne in the North is even greater...
The so-called Horde and Alliance are also in complete disarray; it's not as simple as Dalaran seems.
Thinking of this, the tribal ambassador, the troll witch doctor Kalai, couldn't help but sigh. She couldn't possibly come here without supporting her allies... The Queen of Undercity was a formidable figure favored by the Warchief... The human countess opposite her, with her long, straight black hair, small nose and eyes, and haughty, aloof demeanor, didn't seem particularly appealing...
He's probably not a nice guy...
"By the way, what is the name of that Stormwind envoy?"
The female troll ambassador lowered her head to ask the Dalaran translator beside her, and the Dalaran guide, who was fluent in troll language, immediately responded.
"Ambassador Kale, according to the reception center's introduction... that lady is Countess Katarina from the Pttorius family... she and her brother are currently the Treasurer and Artisan Recruiter of Stormwind... I heard that the new Stormwind was built under the supervision of the Pttorius family, but something seems to have happened later..."
Upon hearing the name of the Ptouris family, Kale's heart sank...
The message brought back by the Kor'kron Elite Guard messengers mentioned the rebellion in Stormwind and also mentioned that almost all members of the Stonemasons' Syndicate Brotherhood were arrested and killed... because they were identified as having participated in the kidnapping of King Varian.
Stormwind is currently in a power vacuum... Regent Duke Bolvar assists the young Prince Anduin, but in reality, he seems to be doing nothing lately, while the various nobles are becoming increasingly high-profile.
If the king hadn't gone missing, the Gilnean nobles and the human factions of Dalaran wouldn't have so easily persuaded the Alliance to join the pincer attack on Undercity...
Where is Lady Jaina?
"Master Jaina has temporarily returned to the Kirin Tor Castle Council. Ambassador Kalay, please be patient... Lord Rhonin will soon convene everyone to discuss peace..."
The staff in Dalaran wore smiles, as if Rhonin's return would resolve the bloody battle outside...
Kalai looked up; the two sides were still locked in a standoff, neither firing a shot...
Burning debris kept falling from above, and several airships were teetering on the brink of collapse...
It seems Undercity has lost at least one goblin airship this time, and Kalai is a little heartbroken, after all, it was Horde property. Fortunately, the Alliance didn't fare any better; the cannons of the Skybreaker prototype were blown askew...it seems someone detonated the main guns, it's a miracle it didn't crash on the spot...
The dwarven craftsmen are braving the flames to repair the damage...
Kalai sighed, perhaps a ceasefire was indeed the best option... but seeing the cold eyes of the Alliance countess on the other side, Kalai shook his head again. The Horde still had to fight for its rights with its fists, otherwise, these arrogant human nobles would only treat us as beasts.
This is already a bloody fact...
