The second plan was not thought up by Sarlayan, but was a suggestion provided by the barrage brainstorming.
The core idea of this plan is that blocking is worse than opening up.
As a king from ancient times, Yin Milong's first reaction when he woke up from a long sleep that lasted for... I don't know how many years was, where is my kingdom?
It is true that the dragonflayer vrykul still live in the lands of Howling Fjord.
But unlike the period when Yin Milon personally took power, today's Dragon-Raider Vrykul have long been divided into countless small settlements, and they are fighting endlessly around Utgard Castle.
There is a legend among the Dragonflayer Vrykul whose truth is unknown.
The general meaning is that whoever wins Wubao wins the world.
Yin Milong said that this is not a legend, but a "will" left by me personally!
Tens of thousands of years ago, the curse of flesh and blood spread by the ancient gods spread throughout the ancient continent of Kalimdor.
A large number of Titan creations were weakened by the curse of flesh, and their original stone (steel) bodies softened into flesh.
The Dragonflayer Vrykul ruled by Yin Milon also failed to escape the curse of flesh and blood.
If it were just to degenerate from a body of steel and rock into a flesh and blood Vrykul, Yin Milong could barely accept it.
What makes him most intolerable is that his people are getting weaker and weaker from generation to generation, and some people have even begun to give birth to short, thin and "deformed" offspring.
The descendants of these deformed Vrykul are the ancestors of mankind.
It is the nature of intelligent creatures to blame others. It was definitely not me who was at fault for giving birth to a deformed child, so who could it be?
You are the one! Yin Milong, who rules the Dragon-plundering Clan! It must be your unethical rule that caused this disaster.
The people put the blame on themselves, and Yin Milong was furious, but he couldn't argue. After all, it was the tradition of the Vrykul people to blame the king.
His little brain worked hard, and he came up with a way to shirk the blame just like the people.
It's not my fault, it's our creator, the Titan Guardian.
From today on, you can no longer believe in Titan, you must believe in Lao Tzu.
After issuing the Nefleva Declaration, Yin Milon issued a stern order that any deformed child found within the clan must be killed immediately to prevent the curse of flesh from further contaminating the bloodline of the Vrykul people.
However, this is of no use.
The curse of flesh and blood does not stop due to personal will, and is still affecting the declining ancient Vrykul from generation to generation.
In the end, Yin Milong couldn't bear the pressure and decided to use rune spells to put the entire family into a long sleep, trying to avoid the influence of the curse of flesh and blood.
It’s the same sentence, but it’s not the same thing.
Even in his deep sleep, the curse of flesh and blood is still taking effect little by little.
Yin Milong was not sure whether he would wake up again one day after falling into a deep sleep.
In order to preserve the clan's legacy, he left a "will" before falling asleep.
Whoever can capture and hold Utgarde Castle will become the new king of the Dragonflayer vrykul.
After tens of thousands of years, has anyone among the Vrykul who have not fallen asleep become king?
Of course there are, and quite a few.
Just like the Hundred Kings Rebellion that broke out among the Mogu people, the various tribes fought endlessly among themselves, and the throne changed hands at an unimaginable speed.
In the tens of thousands of years of history of the Dragon Raider Vrykul, there are very few kings who can sit on the throne for more than 10 years.
Long-term internal strife has resulted in the strength of a single vrykul clan in the Howling Fjord being so weak that it cannot bear to be looked at.
If it weren't for the strong external threat of Kul Tiras that prompted many clans to join forces to fight against the enemy, the mere Utgard Castle would have been captured by Daelin long ago.
Even so, the Dragonflayer vrykul were overwhelmed by Kul Tiran's marines.
Most of these marines are veterans who participated in the Second Orc War. They have experienced the brutal fire of war and are more brave and skilled than the Vrykul who hide in Howling Fjord and beat each other with sticks.
The physical gap between the two sides still existed, but Kul Tiras was able to equalize or even surpass this gap with its strict military formation and combat literacy.
Military formation? What's that? We Vrykul people have never heard of it, isn’t it true that in a battle, “Ula” rushes in at once?
Seeing that Kul Tiras was about to attack Utgard Castle, the vrykul could not stand it anymore and finally decided to use their last resort.
Summon dad... no, summon ancestors.
The rune mages first awakened a group of sleeping ancient vrykul in Utgard Castle, and let these ancestors, who were more reckless than the modern vrykul, rush out to attract the attention of Kul Tiras.
While the two sides were fighting outside Utgard Castle, more rune mages quietly took off, heading towards Alebron at full speed.
Before Dailin was reminded and led his army north, the rune mages found Yin Milon's sleeping place, cast a spell to awaken the ancient vrykul king, and expressed their willingness to accept his rule on the spot.
Tens of thousands of years have passed, and Azeroth has undergone earth-shaking changes.
But in the Howling Fjord, time seems to have stood still.
Except for Kul Tiras, which had recently invaded on a large scale, the overall situation in this land was not much different from before Yin Milon fell asleep.
After learning about the current situation from his descendants who were separated by unknown generations, Yin Milong could no longer think about the curse of flesh and blood, and the elite Marine Corps led by Dai Lin personally came to the door.
The ancient Vrykul are different from the modern Vrykul who have been raised and crippled long ago. The Dragon-ravaging Vrykul of Yin Milon's generation were all fought out of blood and fire.
As soon as they entered the battle, Dai Lin, who was experienced in combat, immediately realized that something was wrong.
These ancient Vrykul were physically stronger than their modern compatriots, and their fighting will was more courageous and tenacious.
Dai Lin, who originally wanted to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, quickly calmed down. He set up camp steadily and gradually tested the ultimate fighting power of the ancient Vrykul.
Sarlayan and Valeela rushed over at this moment, and from Sarlayan's words, Daelin finally learned the origins of these ancient vrykul.
Looking at Yin Milong, who was standing in the middle of the crowd like a star holding the moon, with complicated eyes, Dai Lin shook his head and smiled mockingly.
"I didn't expect that these barbaric Vrykul people would actually be the ancestors of mankind."
"Salayan, if you didn't tell this story yourself, I wouldn't believe it at all."
Sarlayan shrugged: "It's understandable. When I found out that the ancestors of the elves were trolls, my reaction was no better than yours."
Dai Lin: "...ah?"
Valeera poked Sarlayan's waist with her elbow: "It's a long story. I'll explain it slowly when I have the opportunity in the future."
"In short, the core idea of the second plan is to take advantage of Yin Milon's eagerness to regain the king's power and deliberately put him into Utgard Castle."
Valeera calmly explained: "Today's Dragon-ravaging Vrykul have their own king, and it is not that easy for Yin Milon, the ancient king, to regain his position."
"As the saying goes, if the name is not right, the words will not be right. Just like the will he left behind, you must hold Utgard Castle in your hand to truly gain the recognition of the people."
Dai Lin touched his chin thoughtfully: "I understand. This plan is to take advantage of Yin Milon's impatience to separate him from the ancient Vrykul of Alebron who have not yet been awakened."
Valeera nodded approvingly: "Yes, as a warrior, Yin Milong's strength is indeed outstanding, but after all, he is just a mortal and cannot influence the overall outcome."
"Without the ancient Vrykul who still support him, it is still unknown whether Yin Milon can seize the throne from the current King of the Dragon-plundering Vrykul."
Dai Lin asked hesitantly: "Will he really be fooled?"
"Will do."
Sarlayan said confidently: "No king can tolerate others sitting on his own throne in a healthy state. This... His Majesty Dai Lin should also understand."
"Um……"
Dai Lin nodded solemnly: "This is the dignity of being a king and no one is allowed to provoke me."
"That's right." Sarlayan raised his chin and pointed at Yin Milong who was giving a speech: "There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, unless there is one male and one female."
"The king currently sitting in Utgard Castle is named Hasten. Due to the continued suppression of Kul Tiras, the prestige of Hasten, who is unable to organize a counterattack, continues to decline. This is the best time for Yin Milon to regain the king's power."
"As long as Yin Milong still wants to get his throne back, even if he knows that this is a trap we dug for him, he will resolutely step into it."
Dai Lin lowered his head and weighed the pros and cons of the two plans.
"If you implement the beheading tactic, how confident are you that you can kill him surrounded by thousands of Vrykul?"
Sarlayan smiled wryly and spread his hands: "You can't say for sure. There are too many factors that affect the success rate. We can only adapt accordingly."
"At first rough estimate, we are about 40-50% sure."
"Half and half..."
Dai Lin hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to play it safe.
"When there are other options, I don't want to bet that there is only half a success rate, so let's adopt option two."
