Regarding the detailed discussion of the alliance agreement, Saryan is not a professional diplomat, and it is not his turn to intervene in this aspect.
In the past, when adventuring outside, relevant work was left to Valeela to take care of when she came, such as the previous alliance with the Tol'vir.
This time things are different.
New Shandalara City was nearby. After the news of the victory of the war was transmitted back to Crystalsong Forest, Bode Linyu immediately forwarded the information from the front line to the Sun King and cabinet ministers who were eagerly waiting in Silvermoon City.
A war involving Sharlayan has never failed so far. Kael'thas and the cabinet ministers all have high confidence in the Marquis of Deep Shadow. Foreign Minister Calpurnia even started preparing for the visit to Adroni in advance. Rube prepares.
Sure enough, Sarlayan lived up to the trust of the elders and successfully won this first military conflict with the Scourge.
While New Shandalar City and Silvermoon City were in jubilation, Sarlayan was not very satisfied with the victory in this war.
One of the important reasons why Sharlayan is willing to assist Azjol Nerub in the war against the undead is to find out the combat effectiveness of the Scourge and let the soldiers of Quel'Thalas understand their tactics and characteristics in advance.
However, today's natural disaster undead are far from reaching their peak, the psychic snowball has not yet rolled, the composition of the arms is unreasonable, there are too few types of soldiers, and there is a serious lack of air power.
This time they were fighting underground, and it was inconvenient for air units to be used underground. Quel'Thalas did not invest in air units such as dragon eagles and giant eagles, let alone the Red Dragon Knights, who were the aces of air combat.
According to the barrage, the original historical Scourge would have aerial units such as gargoyles, banshees, and frost bone dragons.
As a member of the dragon clan, Sharlayan could not allow Ner'zhul the opportunity to dig the dragon clan's ancestral graves.
After Sindragosa's remains were returned to Dragonblight for burial, Wyrmrest Temple launched an operation at Malygos's request.
The five-color dragon clan worked together to dig out all the dragon clans that were shot down to the Icecrown Glacier by the dragon soul in the ancient war, and brought their bones back to the Dragon Bone Wilderness one by one.
Ner'zhul saw the actions of Wyrmrest Temple in his eyes, and felt pain in his heart. This was one of the powerful combat forces that he had long admired.
What a pity... Bang! The happiness is just gone.
Without the large number of resentful dragon bones buried under Icecrown Glacier, the Frost Bone Dragon unit can be eliminated from the Scourge's expectations.
Banshees are a special type of soldier created by the Scourge by twisting the souls of high elf women. The most typical representative is Sylvanas, the Banshee King.
Sylvanas is still alive and well today.
The other half of Sharlayan's bloodline is a high elf. He can't just sit back and watch Sylvanas die in the battle with the Scourge, and he won't let a deformed collection of resentment like the banshee appear.
Then, the only aerial unit that the Scourge Legion might acquire is the gargoyle.
The most damning thing is that the gargoyles are not an original unit of the Scourge, but an imported product obtained by the Dread Lord from Revendreth in the Shadow Realm. Ner'zhul just copied the gourd and produced it according to the drawings.
"Zombies, skeletons, ghouls, Cult of the Damned psychics, crypt demons and undead vrykul have all been seen."
Sarlayan thoughtfully said to the barrage: "It is basically impossible for the Banshee and the Frost Bone Dragon to appear again, but the Scourge Legion still has gargoyles, lichs, abominations, and the ace of the Death Knight who have not yet taken to the battlefield. "
"I hope that the soldiers of Quel'Thalas will not take their victory lightly the next time they fight against the Scourge."
"The current Scourge Legion is far from complete."
[Actually, it's okay. Many of the units you mentioned were created by Ner'zhul based on Kel'Thuzad's advice. 】
[With Kel'Thuzad providing internal intelligence on the Scourge from time to time, detailed information on these undead units will flow into Quel'Thalas sooner or later, so there is no need to worry so much. 】
[That’s what I say, but people’s hearts are the hardest to guess. Sarlayan’s worries are also justified. Prepare in advance so that you won’t be in a hurry when you actually encounter a war. 】
[The first conflict with the Scourge Legion has come to an end now. I am concerned about another thing now. 】
Sarlayan raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's the matter?"
[Yog-Saron and Ner'zhul, these two unlucky guys who encountered Waterloo at the same time, wonder if they will complain about each other's inability to do their best, will the previous plastic cooperation be interrupted, and will they turn against each other? 】
"This..." Sarlayan lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "Yog-Saron and Ner'zhul are both people with deep personalities. They should not fall out over this little friction."
"……I guess so."
…
Due to the relevant preparations made in advance, Calpurnia rushed to New Shandalar the day after the war ended and began to discuss alliance matters with the diplomatic envoy appointed by Anub'arak. Vesina also joined the envoy in the group's ranks.
Just as the turmoil underground in Northrend subsided, the war in Howling Fjord began.
The two warring parties were the Kul Tiran Expeditionary Force and the Dragon Raider Vrykul led by Yin Milon.
After a long period of internal fighting, Yin Milong unexpectedly killed the current king of the Dragon Raider Vrykul and took back the throne that belonged to him.
After personally leading the local reinforcements to Howling Fjord, Dai Lin did not give Yin Milon a chance to recuperate and took the initiative to attack the Dragon-plundering Vrykul.
Having just won a difficult civil war in Utgard Castle, there are still many things within the Dragon Raider Vrykul that Yin Milon needs to worry about one by one.
Just as he was frantically selecting internal talents loyal to him, Kul Tiras' army came back with reinforcements at the worst possible moment.
Yin Milon originally planned to take advantage of the domestic affairs and catch Kul Tiras off guard.
However, Dai Lin moved faster than him and took the opportunity before Yin Milong took action.
The ancient Dragonflayer Vrykul had a navy, but over the generations of historical changes, they gradually lost control of the sea and could only huddle inland.
The maritime supplies of the Kul Tiras Expeditionary Force can be more stably ensured without the need for naval battles, allowing them to attack Utgard Castle without any worries.
However, as Sharlayan joked privately.
The people of Kul Tiran are like dragons at sea, but become worms on the shore.
Although he clearly had an advantage in terms of total number of troops, Dailin was still unable to capture the heavily guarded Utgard Castle. The two sides fought repeatedly at the entrance of the castle, but could not enter the inner city.
Originally, Sharlayan wanted to go to Howling Fjord to check out the situation and help Daelin.
At this time, Anub'arak gave Sarlayan a small gift in his own name that disrupted his plans.
"This thing...where did you get it?"
Sarlayan repeatedly played with the metal pendant in his hand that exuded a dull gray light. He had a hunch that the material of the pendant was soul steel, a specialty of the Shadow Realm needed to sublimate Quel'Sera.
Anub'arak said without hesitation: "After I killed a powerful undead natural disaster, this thing fell from his body."
"I heard that you are looking for soul steel. After searching for the knowledge left by Azjol Nerub from ancient times, our scholars believe that this pendant is made of soul steel. Its raw material is a kind of yin iron. Mine’s specialty ore from the Shadow Realm.”
"Is it ironite..."
Sarlayan glanced at the barrage subconsciously, and as expected, saw many messages floating over.
[Crap, it turns out to be Yin Iron. I’m familiar with this stuff. 】
[But how is Yin Iron made into soul steel? Who in Azeroth knows how to practice? 】
[God knows, maybe the refining method is also a specialty of the Shadow Realm. After all, I still have to go to the Shadow Realm to know the details. 】
Sarlayan recovered his thoughts and thanked Anub'arak with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty Anub'arak, for finally letting me know the origin of soul steel."
Anub'arak waved his thick front paws: "It's a small thing. Compared to your kindness in saving Azjol-Nerub, this small gift is nothing at all."
"but……"
Anub'arak's tone became serious: "Have you really decided to go to the Shadow Realm?"
"With all due respect, the Shadow Realm is the kingdom of the dead and is not suitable for the activities of the living."
"According to the ancient records preserved by the Nerub civilization, even the ancient gods in their heyday were unwilling to provoke the Shadow Realm. It is said that there are several powerful Eternals sitting in that dangerous kingdom of death."
