The battle between the Deadwood Troll and the Evil Branch Troll is to seize the status of the Amani Empire's clan. To put it bluntly, it is a vicious competition between forest trolls.
In any case, evil branches and dead trees are the same species that break bones and connect tendons.
When they face attacks from foreign enemies at the same time, and even come to a critical moment of life and death, as long as the leaders of these two clans have their minds right, there is a high probability that they will stop fighting each other and join forces to fight the enemy.
The overall strength of the forest trolls today is far less than the peak period before the Troll War, but as the saying goes, there are still a few nails in the broken ship.
If the Deadwood Clan and the Evil Branch Clan put aside their conflicts and temporarily unite, theoretically speaking, they can still pose a greater threat to the three parties participating in the war.
Green Dragon?
Oh yes, Green Dragon.
The Guardians of Seradan, led by Thrawn, are breathing dragon's breath above the Evil Branch Troll's lair, Zin'thalor, fulfilling his promise to teach the Evil Branch Troll a lesson about the desecration of life.
But after all, the Dragon Clan needs to abide by the rules of not easily intervening in mortal affairs.
If only Thorne himself was present and used the excuse of working together to fight back the invaders, the green dragons should have had a greater impact on the battle situation in the Hinterlands.
However...the bad thing is that Yin Sera sent a supervisor over.
"Long time no see, Sarlayan."
Having just teleported to Shalvasa, which was recaptured by the Maltooth Troll, Sarlayan heard a strange yet familiar soft female voice before he could even stand firm.
He said it was unfamiliar because he had not heard this voice many times.
As for familiarity, it is because Sarlayan has a strong ability to recognize sounds, and can quickly locate the identity of the other party even if he has only heard the sound once.
'ha……'
Before he had time to observe the current situation of Xinsaro, which was being attacked by the green dragon, Sarlayan sighed helplessly in his heart, quickly put his mood together, turned around and showed a friendly smile to the person who took the initiative to greet him.
"It has indeed been several years since I last saw you, Green Dragon Princess, Ms. Melinsela."
Standing in front of Sarlayan was a tall night elf woman with delicate appearance. She had long straight emerald hair that spread to her shoulders, and two very eye-catching dragon horns on her head, which clearly highlighted her appearance. The true identity of a woman who looks like a night elf.
A giant dragon in human form.
A member of the second generation of Merinthela Dragons, the eldest daughter of the Green Dragon Queen Yinsera and the Green Dragon Warrior Yinlanicus, and the legal heir of the Green Dragon Legion.
But speaking of being an heir... Unless the Green Dragon Queen Yin Sela, who has infinite lifespan, is unfortunately killed, Melin Sela, the heir to the Green Dragon Legion, can only be called "heir".
Danmu once jokingly said, "How can there be a prince who has been in the world for seventy years?"
Melinsela was born at the same time as Onyxia. Guess how many years she has been the Green Dragon Crown Princess?
Although the barrage often joked about the inheritance of the Immortal Seed, Melinsela, who has an easy-going personality, did not care about it.
To be precise, most of the second generation dragons don't have much urgency to inherit the throne from their elders, and Nefarian, Kelestraz, Arygos and Anacros are no different.
Due to the Battle of Quicksand that caused heavy losses to the dragon clan thousands of years ago, Melinthera was imprisoned in the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj together with the red dragon prince Karen and the blue dragon prince Alygos.
Strictly speaking, the leader of the Second Quicksand War to seal C'Thun again was a joint army composed of dragons and mortals.
But everyone who participated in that war knew it well.
The second Battle of Quicksand was able to piece together so much military power, and Sarlayan, who had been running around behind the scenes to connect with each other, was indispensable.
From this perspective, Melinthera, Karen, and Arygos all owed Sharlayan a great favor.
Not to mention that Yin Sera hinted that her baby daughter would strengthen communication with Sarlayan, Melinsela herself has always wanted to find an opportunity to repay this favor, but unfortunately she has not been able to do so so far.
This time Melinsela came to Thorne nominally to supervise Thorne, but the Green Dragon Princess’s real goal was known only to herself and Yinsera.
It was still a time of war, and Sarlayan had no intention of speculating on Melinsela's deeper intentions.
Now that the special envoy of the Green Dragon Queen has clearly appeared, it means that there is not much time left to have fun in Thorne.
"Ms. Melinsela, when did you come to the Hinterlands? I'm sorry that I couldn't arrive in time to greet you."
Melinsela smiled and shook her head: "There is no need to be so polite, and there is no need to use honorifics. Let's just talk about friendship as equals. Just call me Melinsela."
In the perception within the Dragon Clan, Sarlayan's seniority has always been erratic.
The parents of Sarlayan's mother Yinlainastrasza were ancient dragons of the same era as the five dragon kings. Yinnas was born earlier than Nefarian, the oldest of the second generation of dragons, and was thousands of years earlier.
When the second generation of dragons headed by Nefarian gradually grew up, Yin Nas had already made a name for himself and became a recognized demon king among the younger generation of the dragon clan.
From this perspective, Yin Nas is half a generation older than Nefarian and other second-generation dragons, but strictly speaking, they can still be considered the same age.
As a descendant of Yinas, Sharlayan should be at least half a generation younger than the second generation of the dragon, but what is frustrating is that this boy happened to be the lifelong partner of the black dragon princess Onyxia after thousands of choices. .
This resulted in Sarlayan's status being invisibly raised a generation higher.
Fortunately, the dragons with infinite lifespans don’t value seniority very much. Theoretically... Note, this is just a theory. It is not impossible for them to live under the same roof for ten generations, so in most cases it’s all about their own affairs. .
Melinsela and other second-generation dragons can be Sarlayan's elders, or they can be friends with his peers. It all depends on how they position their relationship with Sarlayan.
When Sharlayan was still worried about how to call Melinsela, the green dragon princess took the initiative to define the relationship between the two parties as peers, which played into the hands of Sharlayan, who did not like red tape.
"Okay, then let me overstep."
The war is not over yet, and Sarlayan does not waste his energy on these trivial matters.
"Melinsera, the task given to you by Your Majesty Yin Sera should be to monitor and restrain Lai Thorne's behavior, right?"
"Exactly."
Merinthra smiled meaningfully: "As early as when the Wildhammer dwarves entered the Hidden Stone to clean up the ooze monsters, I came to Theladan through the Dream Road, and I watched every move I made when I came to Thorne. In the eyes.”
"Of course, that also includes his little trick of deliberately fishing to lure the Evil Branch Trolls into actively invading Seradan."
"Ah this..."
Sarlayan smiled awkwardly. It could be seen from Melinsela's expression and attitude that she already knew that she was the one scheming behind Thorne's back.
Melinsela chuckled and said: "Don't be nervous. From a procedural point of view, there is no problem with Thorne's counterattack."
"However... considering the position of the Dragon Clan, we still can't let him go too far. Do you understand what I mean?"
Sarlayan nodded honestly: "I understand, then it's up to Melinsela to control this speed."
Melinsela agreed calmly: "No problem, you can go about your own business first. After the battle of the Hinterlands is over, we will find an opportunity to have a good chat."
Watching Melinsela quietly walk aside and close her eyes to rest, Sarlayan began to perform her duties as the Sun King's agent as she said.
This time, there were only two members of the family who followed Sarlayan to the Hinterlands. One was Valeela, who was in charge of intelligence work, and the other was Stellagosa, the personal secretary who had just returned from Cordala.
Jaina is still in Dalaran and is busy convincing Medivh, Merry Winterwind and Khadgar. The lazy Onyxia chooses to stay in the territory and enjoy life as always. Stellagosa leaves before Leave Tina Gosa under her care for the time being.
For ancient dragons like Melinsela, Stellagosa and Sharlayan, who were less than 500 years old, were just rising stars in the dragon clan.
However, perhaps for the sake of Onyxia, her childhood playmate, or perhaps due to her own personality, the Green Dragon Princess did not act like a detached elder. Instead, she treated the two of them as equals in a very gentle manner.
When Sharlayan was busy commanding and arranging the high elves' troops to form a formation to besiege Sinsaro, Valeela leaned close to Stellagosa's ear and whispered: "Do you feel the attitude of this green dragon princess?" A little weird?"
Stella Gosa glanced at Valeela thoughtfully, and asked with a half-smile: "What? Do you smell something wrong again?"
"Cough~" Valeera also knew that she was quite jealous, so she coughed slightly in embarrassment: "Maybe it's just my misunderstanding, but in Sarlayan's words, being on guard against others is indispensable. I really I feel like her attitude towards Sarlayan is not normal.”
Little Xingxing rolled her eyes helplessly: "I admit that Sarlayan has a very strong personality, but don't think that when you see an outstanding member of the opposite sex, you think they are here to steal your man, right?"
"But she is a dragon..."
"Okay." Before Valeera could reply unconvinced, Stellagosa raised her chin in the direction of Sarlayan who was busy: "Let's help Sarlayan end this local war as soon as possible. Waiting for too long will be detrimental to us who have come from afar.”
