Sarlayan originally thought that Valeera and Vereesa would rush back first, but they seemed to have encountered some trouble in Stormheim, and no news was returned after the scheduled week.
Thalayan has been restless in the past two days, and he is considering whether to venture into Stormheim to check out the situation.
Before the three-person team came back, Emeril's man arrived first, and this man was known to Sarlayan.
Looking at the carefree ranger in front of him, Sarlayan looked a little amused.
"Hiding it deep enough, I didn't expect that a guy like you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, is also a member of the Secret Path."
The ranger who appeared in front of Sarlayan was Alleria's deputy, Halduron Brightwing, who was supposed to stay in Eversong Forest to train the Farstriders.
But thinking about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
Although Halduron's personality is relatively... free and easy, his strength and qualifications are real.
Vereesa's breakthrough caused some stimulation to the always lazy Halduron. After experiencing the baptism of the Quicksand War, he finally broke through the bottleneck and officially became a legendary ranger.
Since Emeril's invitations are all done in secret, many Secret Path members don't know who their new colleagues are.
Emeril explained to Sharlayan the ins and outs of inviting Halduron to join the organization.
In fact, Emeril originally went to Alleria. Unfortunately, the eldest daughter of Windrunner was as free as the wind. She spent most of her time traveling around the world and could not find anyone at all.
When Emeril went to Quel'Thalas again to find someone, he happened to meet Halduron who was staying at the Farstrider camp, and simply regarded him as Alleria's temporary replacement.
It's normal for Halduron to arrive quickly, because this guy came through the semi-permanent portal that directly connected Silvermoon City to Shal'Alan, and didn't have to wander around on the sea by boat like others.
Not long after Halduron arrived, Shandris Feathermoon also used the Dream Road to arrive in Val'sharah for transit, and then rode the hippogryph and landed at Bird Point on Talon Peak.
After learning the details of the summons order from Emeril, the first two people to arrive immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
Shandis put her chin on her hand thoughtfully: "Did Saldanas be raised from the sea? This is indeed our negligence."
The Broken Islands are quite far away from the continent of Kalimdor, but due to the existence of the world tree Shaladrassil, it is not difficult for the night elves to use the Dream Road to travel to and from Val'sharah.
Back then, Aegwynn obtained permission from the night elves before sealing the incarnation of Sargeras in the Temple of the Moon in Saldanas.
However, since the tomb was sealed underwater for a long time and nothing happened, the night elves in Val'sharah gradually forgot about it.
In addition, a series of events such as the Nightmare and the Battle of Quicksand have occupied attention, and the night elves who were supposed to be responsible for this matter really did not notice the changes in the Tomb of Sargeras.
The seal has been lifted by Gul'dan, and under the remote control of Sargeras, many high-level demons have accumulated in Sargeras's tomb.
Gul'dan died under the joint siege of these high-level demons.
A year has passed since the tomb of Sa rose to the surface of the sea. During this year, the demons did not emerge from the tomb.
If it weren't for the death knights under Tyrone Bloodfiend and a group of black dragons who broke in to search for artifacts, many people would have forgotten that there were a large number of high-level demons in the Tomb of Sargeras.
Under Emeril's arrangement, Shandris and Halduron split up.
Shandis, who is more powerful personally, lurks near Drogbal's lair to investigate, carefully observing whether Drogbal has summoned a large number of demons.
Halduron temporarily stays at the Marksman camp, waiting for Vereesa to return from completing her mission. The two will go to the Broken Shore together to investigate the situation outside the Tomb of Sargeras.
If they can get help from the high elves and nightborne stationed in Suramar, they can even try to enter the Tomb of Sargeras to investigate further.
After seeing off Shandris, who was in a hurry, the hunting team headed by Vereesa finally returned successfully.
Although Valeela and Vereesa looked very tired, there were no obvious wounds on their bodies, which finally made Sarlayan sigh in relief.
When Valeera looked back and forth between Sharlayan and Stellagosa with a scrutinizing gaze, Sharlayan had already turned her gaze to Ulan.
To be precise, it was the giant black panther that Ulan was carrying.
"Wow~ Is this big guy Dakar? You actually captured it alive."
"Meow~"
A sound similar to a cat's meow came from Vereesa's chest. Sarlayan and Halduron, who didn't know the details, had strange expressions and glanced at Vereesa's chest with the corner of their eyes.
[Is he a sperm? 】
[Crap, have you ever heard of that thing about becoming a spirit? 】
After assisting Ulan to put down Dakar, who was still unconscious, Vereesa suddenly patted her forehead.
"Almost forgot."
Vereesa took out a small leopard with a tiger-like head from the leather armor on her chest. Its ruby-like eyes immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
"Meow meow!"
This was the first time that Xiaowujing saw the scenery outside the mist. The cute leopard's face was full of anxiety and fear, and it tried to hide back in the arms of its owner with its claws and teeth bared.
Sarlayan was not very interested in pets and quickly retracted his attention from the little panther.
"Let's get down to business first. Have you found the Eagle Spear?"
Vereesa nodded, temporarily leaving the Mist Realm to Valeela aside to help take care of it, and took out a simple-looking spear from the space package.
This spear is clearly the product of a tauren at first glance. You can also see a totem pole-like design at the end of the spear handle.
"What do you say now?"
Sarlayan looked at Ulan who was still taking care of Dakar: "Should the Eagle Spear be returned to its original owner or should it be given to Vereesa for use?"
Ulan said without hesitation: "Since it has been agreed in advance, of course it will be used by Vereesa who took it back with her own hands."
"Don't worry about the opposition of the Gaoling tribe. As the son of the great chief, I participated in and witnessed the entire operation. I will find a way to convince those old diehards who cling to tradition."
Before Narmus lost the Eagle Spear, this artifact had been passed down to the warriors of the Highmountain Tribe. The elders of the Highmountain Tauren naturally regarded it as belonging to the Highmountain Tribe.
This idea is understandable. The Eagle Spear was indeed born in the hands of Morun Gaoling and has been passed down among the Gaoling tribe for thousands of years.
Although Ulan is naive about some things, he has a broader perspective on the overall situation than other tribesmen after learning from Emeril.
Sooner or later Highmountain, and indeed the entire Broken Isles, will reconnect with the world.
In this increasingly turbulent world, if they want to truly protect the High Mountains, the High Mountain tribe must actively embrace the outside world, actively introduce advanced technology and knowledge, and gradually abolish the ignorant and outdated traditions within the tribe.
This does not mean that we should negate all the things passed down by our ancestors. Ulan hopes to find a balance between tradition and modernization, retain those meaningful traditions, and eliminate or modify outdated bad habits.
Sarlayan: "Uh~ I underestimated this stupid cow. I didn't expect him to be quite capable and courageous."
[There is no way, the Minotaur's appearance and honest character are too confusing. With preconceived impressions, people will naturally guess in the direction they think they are. 】
[But human nature is inherently complex, and one cannot simply define everything about someone through labels. 】
Sarlayan sighed silently: "I have learned a lesson, and I will take it as a lesson in the future."
With the permission of the future warchief of the Highmountain Tribe, Vereesa accepted the Eagle Spear with peace of mind.
In return, when Ulan proposed to tame Dakar for his own use, both Vereesa and Valeera expressed their strong support.
Not only Mistland and Dakar, the misty black panthers that were knocked unconscious and captured by the three were also being transported back by the hunters of the Gaoling tribe.
If nothing else happens, the Gaoling clan will have a special team of hunters in the future.
The Mist Panther has thermal vision, which works wonders in certain circumstances.
For example, sneaking in at night.
After learning that Sharlayan and Stellagosa had approached Ebisian first and reached a certain level of cooperation with him, Valeera was not surprised. She just rolled her eyes at Sharlayan calmly. .
"We have reached an agreement with Abyssian, and the subsequent cooperation with the High Mountain tribe can also be achieved through Ulan. The two goals of coming to High Mountain have been achieved. Where do you plan to go next?"
Sarlayan shook his head: "The matter in High Mountain is not over yet, but the next destination can indeed be finalized."
Valeera raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Where?"
Sharlayan pointed to Halduron not far away: "Ask him. Halduron brought a message from Prince Kael'thas along the way."
Halduron was discussing the follow-up mission with Vereesa. When he saw Sarlayan's waving gesture, he hurriedly jogged over.
"Prince Kael'thas asked me to tell you that the Alliance Expeditionary Force is preparing to recruit a large army to pass through the Dark Portal and officially enter the world of the orcs."
"The Alliance Grand Marshal Turalyon is personally stationed at Watchfort in the Cursed Lands, and General Alleria is also assisting as his deputy."
"Alleria hopes that her motherland can temporarily put aside its differences with certain countries in the Alliance, send an elite force to assist the expeditionary force, and completely eliminate the possibility of the orcs continuing to harass Azeroth through the Dark Portal."
