The port of Zul'Aman is only a tentative name, and the high elves will never use the name given by the trolls.
This time he went to the port to clean up discipline, and Kael'thas also gave Sharlayan a task.
Decide on a new name for the port as soon as possible, and don’t let the locals get used to calling it Zu’aman.
Since the Red Dragon Knights were moved to Silvermoon City, Valeera sent many arcane puppets to the ruins of Zul'Aman to completely demolish this ancient troll city.
The Amani clan has been nominally destroyed, and everyone who is still alive has been thrown into the mines everywhere to do hard work.
But Amani is only the most prominent clan of forest trolls, and powerful forest troll clans such as Evil Branch and Dead Tree are still alive and well.
The mortal feud between the high elves and the forest trolls mainly comes from the Amani clan.
Now that Amani has been destroyed, the anger of Quel'Thalas's top leaders, headed by Kael'thas, towards the forest trolls has subsided by half.
This is one of the reasons why Kael'thas is willing to make a deal with the moss-rot trolls.
Sharlayan dared not let down his guard against the other forest troll clans.
The moss trolls are not very hostile to the high elves, mainly because they are closer to Lordaeron and have been oppressed by the Kingdom of Lordaeron all year round. On the contrary, they have no direct conflict of interest with the high elves.
Sarlayan learned about the Evil Branch Clan and the Deadwood Clan from Danmaku.
The Deadwood clan mainly lives in the Arathi Highlands, and they were suppressed until Solas was in power. It was only after Jialin, a idiot who killed his father, that he came to power that the Deadwood trolls saw hope of rising again.
As long as Danas can be brought back from Draenor, it will not be difficult to suppress the Deadwood Troll again with the abilities of this battlefield veteran.
What worried Sharlayan the most was the rising Evil Branch clan.
As early as the end of the Troll War, the influence of the Evil Branch clan that occupied the Hinterlands had vaguely surpassed that of the overlord clan Amani.
The reason why there was no rebound was simply because Amani also had a few Loa as his trump card.
In terms of personnel combat effectiveness alone, the Evil Branch Clan has undoubtedly surpassed Amani.
There is only one Loa that the Vilebranch clan believes in, and it is the spider Loa Shadra, whose body is located in the Zandalari Islands.
Compared with the relatively low-key Deadwood Clan, the Evil Branch Clan is extremely aggressive and has early shown its ambition to unify the forest troll clans.
What Sarlayan cannot accept the most is that the Evil Branch clan still retains its backward bad habits of human sacrifice and cannibalism to this day.
Fortunately, the Evilbranch clan's path out of the mountain was firmly blocked by the Wildhammer dwarves' Aerie Mountain.
There are only two ways to leave the Hinterlands. One is to pass through the gate of Eagle's Nest Mountain and enter the Hillsbrad Hills.
The second is to bypass the Eagle's Nest Mountain and take the mountain road in the rugged area to the north to enter the Keldaron area managed by the Barov family.
No matter which road you take, you can clearly see the movements of the Evil Branch Trolls from the wide view of Eagle's Nest Mountain, and provide early warning to surrounding countries.
But this is under normal circumstances when the defensive forces of all parties are in place.
During the Second Orc War, the main forces of the Alliance were hoarded on the front line of the Hillsbrad Hills, leaving Lordaeron with an empty defense behind it.
The allied army of orcs and trolls led by Orgrim penetrated Quel'Thalas directly from this mountain path, and once reached the gates of Silvermoon City, causing the arrogant high elves to lose face.
The reason why Kael'thas vigorously developed the navy was because he wanted to recover the debt from the Evil Branch Troll.
The land route between the Hinterlands and Eversong Forest was too far apart for Quel'Thalas' army to obtain Terenas' permission to cross Lordaeron's territory.
It's different when you go to sea.
From the port of Zul'Aman (tentative name), you can go down the river and skirt the coastline of East Weald to reach the east coast of the Hinterlands.
Climbing up from Wanghai Cliff on the seaside, Sinsaro, the lair of the Evil Branch Troll, is right in front of you.
The Wildhammer dwarves deeply hate the brutal and brutal Vilebranch Trolls. If they can persuade Eagle's Nest Mountain to send troops at the same time, Sarlayan does not believe that the Vilebranch Trolls can do anything else under attack from both sides.
Of course, this is just a theoretical assumption.
Quel'Thalas's naval force is currently too weak to support today's long-distance cross-sea operations.
But you still have to have dreams, otherwise there is no difference from salted fish.
Therefore, the construction of Zul'Aman Port is crucial and is directly related to Quel'Thalas' future maritime strategy.
If the sea route on the east coast can be opened, Quel'Thalas' fleet can bypass the land route and reach all the places including the Hinterlands, Arathi Highlands, Notheron, the Badlands, Swamp of Sorrows, and the Blasted Lands. East Coast Land.
If you go a little further, you can continue south to Stranglethorn Valley, which will greatly expand the scope of activities and influence of Quel'Thalas.
In the entire east coast region, only Lordaeron's East Sea Fleet can be considered an opponent.
Unfortunately, this East China Sea Squadron had not long ago disguised itself as a privateer fleet and attacked the coast of Quel'Thalas, but failed to steal the chickens and lost a lot of rice. They were beaten by the suddenly emerging Red Dragon Knights and were almost wiped out. There were only a few ships. The ship barely escaped.
Without several years of cultivation, it would be impossible for the East Sea Fleet of Lordaeron to recover.
The past few years have been an excellent opportunity for Quel'Thalas to race against time to develop its maritime power.
As an important part of the naval development plan, the port of Zul'Aman cannot be missed. Even if they break up with Lordaeron, they must ensure that the construction of this frontline port is not interfered with by any factors.
When Sharlayan and others rode their chocobos and hurried past the old site of Zul'Aman and arrived at the seaside where a large amount of building materials were piled up, there were still a small number of engineering arcane puppets working overtime on the construction.
The high elf workers nearby looked listless. From time to time they would look to the south of the sea, with uneasiness in their eyes.
The arrival of the special envoy headed by Sarlayan attracted the attention of many people. The port manager belatedly heard about this and rushed out of his single-family hut in a state of disheveled clothes. Run up to Sharlayan.
"Suck~"
With his nose twitching, Sarlayan smelled the scent of makeup on the construction site manager's body. Without thinking too much, he knew what this guy was doing huddled at home in broad daylight.
Sarlayan's face turned gloomy.
Considering the new population of Quel'Thalas, he did not object to the high elves who had nothing to do and declared that they would do whatever they wanted for a hundred days.
But the premise is to finish your own work first.
This manager obviously violated Sarlayan's philosophy and only cared about his own enjoyment without taking care of the port affairs.
"Snapped!"
He took out the dragon-hide whip (from Saberian) presented by Onyxia from the space package, and Salayan whipped it on the ground with an ugly expression.
The loud sound of the whip made the manager, who was originally smiling, look horrified.
"Deep, deep... Earl of Deep Shadow, please listen to my quibbles... Ah, this is an explanation!"
Sarlayan whipped the opponent's neck mercilessly, and the force he controlled very accurately did not break his neck, but just cracked the collar of his clothes.
"Explanation? How do you explain the 'strawberry mark' on your neck?"
"Have you finished your work? Is the woman in the house your wife!"
"Snapped!"
Another whip, this time it was really strong. The dragon-skin whip left a bright red mark on the manager's arm. It did not break the skin and bleed, but it made him suffer unbearably.
"Ouch! Lord Earl! I plead guilty! Please forgive me this time!"
With the current low morale in Zul'Aman Port, it just needs some exciting scenes.
Sarlayan would not take it out on the wage earners below who were following orders like other nobles. He would directly hold the top managers of the port accountable.
"Your Majesty is not strict! Bang!"
"You still have the nerve to ask me to forgive you? Bang!"
"You're going to show off your Y for a hundred days in front of the workers, right? Bang!"
The last whip struck the opponent's back, and the manager who could still cry with a loud voice before was so painful that he could not speak.
Sarlayan deliberately controlled the intensity of his shots so as not to draw blood.
Seeing the miserable appearance of the domineering managers who used to overwhelm them and shivering in pain, the workers who followed the example and followed the example were still so frightened that every one of them became silent.
Sarlayan coiled up his dragon-hide whip and casually lit a bolder male worker with a look of gloating on his face.
"You! Come out and answer, which family is this guy related to?"
The worker who was called trembled all over, and hurriedly lowered his head and replied to Saryan: "Yes... one of the stewards of the Drehart family."
"Drehart?"
Sarlayan turned to look at Lor'themar: "Contact Unicorn Town and ask Valeela to inform Lady Drehart. Come over tomorrow morning at the latest and give me a reasonable explanation. We will not wait until later."
Lor'themar's impression of Sarlayan was still a few years ago, and this was the first time he saw Sarlayan's iron-blooded side.
'Sure enough, the identity is different...'
After regaining his composure, Lor'themar solemnly accepted the order: "I obey, Your Majesty the Earl."
