The war in eastern Northrend was marked by the arrival of the Zandalari envoy.
Before Menzagir arrived in Northrend by boat all the way, although the Dakkari trolls were very angry about the taking away of the Draxalon Fortress, they did not make up their minds to fight the high elves whose details were unknown.
Not to mention that there is also the old rival Grizzly Maw Furbolg to help the enemy.
For the new Shandara at that time, the biggest enemy was not the trolls from Dhaka, but the Iron Legion who had been standing still and exerting pressure.
It is for this reason that Sharlayan is busy traveling in places such as Pandaria and Uldum.
Loken holds the Forge of Will and the Engine of the Creator. To be eligible to play chess on an equal footing with him, Sharlayan must obtain the Forge of Origin and the Engine of Nalak'sha accordingly.
Fortunately, this long and fulfilling year has not been in vain.
Although Pandaria has not yet lifted the fog blockade, the Nalak'sha Engine has been successfully obtained, and it has also unexpectedly obtained some of the Great Guardian permissions granted by Laden.
Through the deal reached with the Prototurtle, the Titan artifacts produced by Nalak'sha's engine will be secretly transported to Northrend's Dragonblight, and then escorted by the high elves to Wintergrasp, which is surrounded by mountains.
There are a large number of Titan ruins scattered within the jurisdiction of Wintergrasp, enough to hide these Titan creations.
If there are too many Titan artifacts piled up, Sarlayan still has a backup plan - to seize Alkavon's treasury and use this underground palace as a secret military camp.
In addition to the Nalak'sha Engine, Sharlayan successfully restarted the Forge of Origin with the help of Azadas.
As long as the fog of Pandaria dissipates, and Blue Dragon and Azadas cooperate to make some modifications to the Forge of Origin and Nalak'sha Engine, they will be able to attack with all their strength with an efficiency no less than that of the Creator Engine.
Until then, the defenders of Jingge Forest will continue to endure.
Loken's overall view is not bad. What he wants to see is that the major forces in Northrend hate each other. He hides behind the scenes and controls the situation secretly. He does not want any force to dominate.
Considering this aspect, Loken will not allow the high elves to cause too serious harm to the Dakkari trolls.
Once the war progresses to a certain level, this guy will definitely let the Iron Legion jump out and use force to mediate.
With this in mind, Sarlayan had no intention of wiping out all the trolls coming to Dhaka from the beginning.
...Besides, the current new Shantala doesn’t have that ability either.
Sharlayan could accept the trolls cowering in Dakar and licking their wounds, but he would not tolerate the Zandalari envoys stirring up trouble behind his back.
Zandalar is indeed an ancient civilized country with a profound heritage.
Due to historical issues, Zandalari, who had been humiliated by Azshara, did not have a good impression of all descendants of elves and would only adopt a hostile attitude.
In this case, Sarlayan had no intention of giving them a good look.
You do the first grade of junior high school, and I do the fifteenth grade.
Why did Kul Tiras use all its elites at sea to block Zandalari's golden fleet within the island chain?
On the one hand, it is to protect his own interests of sea power, on the other hand... there may be a reason why Sarlayan is fanning the flames behind his back.
After years of running-in, the interests of Kul Tiras and Quel'Thalas have long been highly bound, and both will prosper and suffer.
King Rastakhan is a man of great talent and strategy, and the ancestor Zul has long been gearing up to do something big.
After quelling the internal troubles, Zandalar will inevitably turn its attention to the wider world outside the island.
The Zandalar Golden Fleet is a powerful maritime force second only to the Kul Tiran Navy.
Once they are allowed to sail around the sea unscrupulously, it will inevitably have a serious impact on the maritime rules dominated by Kul Tiras.
This was unacceptable to Kul Tiras.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and Kul Tiras, who already have a close relationship, is highly consistent with Quel'Thalas when it comes to targeting Zandalar.
However, both Daelin and Kael'thas knew that as the oldest mortal civilization in Azeroth, the former overlord of Azeroth, and the overlord clan of all trolls, the Zandalar were not that easy to deal with.
The Endless Sea is so big that Kul Tiras can only block the eastward and northward routes of the Golden Fleet, and it is impossible to really pin them near the Zandalar Islands and prevent them from moving.
Now it is the prophet Zul who does not believe in evil and is overconfident in the golden fleet. He insists on piercing the maritime defense line of Kul Tiras.
As long as he comes to his senses and no longer wastes time and manpower fighting Kul Tiras, he can completely let the golden fleet circle from the west and south of the archipelago. At most, it will just waste more time at sea.
It is unrealistic to completely suppress this powerful ancient civilized empire. The goal given by Sharlayan is to limit and slow down the expansion of Zandalari's influence in Azeroth as much as possible.
Due to the existence of Arkandor, Crystalsong Forest cannot be lost, and the Zandalari envoy who sneaked into Northrend to instigate the fight must be found and captured.
With the unremitting efforts of the Northrend branch of the Backlight Blade, Atla finally caught Menzaghi's tail and captured him in one fell swoop when the war was over.
Sharlayan doesn't plan to directly let Onyxia use mind control.
Ordinary mind control can only control the subject's body for a short period of time, but cannot control the target's will.
Powered by the Blade of the Dark Empire, Onyxia can forcibly twist the will of the recipient.
But the price is that after the spell ends, the target's soul is likely to be damaged.
Simply put, this coercive technique will make the subject mentally retarded and never return to normal.
As the special envoy sent by Zul to guide and lure Dhaka, Menzaj must know a lot of Zandalari's secret information.
You can guess with your butt that this guy will never reveal the information honestly.
Onyxia's mind control is the final insurance. Before that, Sarlayan planned to ask Atla to provide him with a full service and interrogate a dragon.
Even Loa, who had spent a huge price to mobilize, was beaten to the point of panic. The morale of the Dakkar trolls plummeted, and they no longer had the heart to continue fighting with the high elf-human-furbolg alliance.
As soon as Sarlayan and Atla returned to the tattered city walls, the peace document from Malak, the Frost King, was quickly delivered.
The Battle of Zul'Drak has finally officially come to an end.
As expected, Malak, the Frost King, threw all the blame on Zandalari who encouraged them to send troops.
Sarlayan was too lazy to chat with the shameless old politician.
After the war is won, of course we must take advantage of the opportunity. Professional diplomats will come to bargain with Dhaka in the future, striving to give the Frost Troll a severe blow.
The war with the Dakkar trolls is over, but the situation in Northrend has not yet calmed down.
On the Western Front battlefield, Loken was in a dilemma.
Once the coalition pulled by the high elves formally signs a peace agreement with Dhaka, the two forces will most likely turn around and vent their frustration on the Iron Legion.
Loken doesn't want to waste precious metal resources on mere mortals. His goal is the stars...ah, those colleagues who are also Titan Guardians but have different positions.
The face-saving Loken didn't want to retreat in disgrace without getting any results, but the current situation no longer tolerated his pretentiousness.
When Sarlayan rushed back to Crystalsong Forest with a small group of reinforcements that he barely squeezed out, he happened to encounter the final wave of the Iron Legion's fierce offensive.
Loken made up his mind that no matter what the outcome of this attack was, the conflict with the high elves would be over for the time being.
Subconsciously, he had already guessed that this attack would most likely fail.
The development of the situation was just as he expected.
Sarlayan, who led his troops back quickly for reinforcements, broke in from the forest flank and unexpectedly reached the steel army's weakly defended right wing.
The already very tired Morning Front Legion mustered up its remaining strength to launch a charge, and the Iron Legion's formation was cut off by the surprise.
The Kul Tiran Marines who followed closely arrived in time and continued to widen the cracks in the front and rear formations of the Iron Army, making it impossible for them to see each other from head to tail.
Disagreements arose between the two forces whose communications were interrupted.
The front army whose rear route was blocked believed that they should retreat decisively, while the rear army who still had strong confidence believed that they should continue to attack.
Biagri, the Iron Vrykul general who was commanding the front line, could see that the supporting army was not in good condition. As long as a certain amount of pressure was exerted on them, the crisis facing the front army should be relieved.
"Ha~"
Sarlayan, who was sitting on a war horse and guarding the center of the army, had been maintaining the tranquility spell, and during the movement, he was healing the injuries sustained by the surrounding soldiers in the previous battle.
"Thinking of going all out to gamble? It's not that easy."
