"It's really you!"
The troll leader tried his best, propped up his body and shouted at Mikaela: "It's because of you that my warlord Antusul disappeared! During this time, I often led my troops to the Quicksand Post, just to Find you bastard!"
"Well……"
Michaela finally knew who the troll in front of her was: "Are you Ukzi Sandding, the leader of the Sandfury Trolls?"
"Yes, it's me!"
Ukoz-Shading roared angrily at Mikaela: "Where did you deceive my warlord!"
Cheating Antusul?
I?
Just when Mikaela was still confused, Torina took the initiative to speak: "Mikaila, you forgot, it was you who reminded Antusul that the Zandalari tribe can be found in Stranglethorn Vale."
Damn it, it’s really me!
His subordinates disappeared inexplicably. Who can leave this matter alone? Who is not in a hurry?
There was no other way, so Michaela had no choice but to tell the truth: "Well, that's it. Actually, Antusul..."
When Michaela finished speaking, Ukozi Shading's eyes widened immediately: "Antusul went to find the Zandalari tribe!"
Michaela nodded.
Ukoz-Shading looked at Mikaela: "Why do you, a blood elf, know about our trolls?"
Mikaela pointed to herself and said: "I am a prophet, I can see fragments of the future. In the future, the Blood God Hakkar is about to be resurrected, so King Rastakhan of the Zandalari Trolls sent his men to Stranglethorn Vale , organize manpower to fight against Hakkar.”
While speaking, Mikaela noticed that Ukozi-Sandding's eyes lit up, as if he wanted to know about the Zandalari Trolls.
"What's wrong?"
Michaela asked Ukozi Shading: "You seem... very excited?"
"Because the Zandalar trolls are the source of all our troll civilization, and that is our holy land."
Ukzi-Shading snorted, turned his head to the side, and uttered: "Why should I say this to an elf?"
"Okay, let's get down to business."
Michaela smiled bitterly and said, "We...cease the war?"
armistice?
Can there be no ceasefire?
Ukoz-Shading glanced at the monster-level hellhound Douglas who came to Mikaela's side, and said:
"Okay, armistice."
Smart choice, right?
Michaela's trip was just to rush back to Silithus quickly, and he didn't waste time on these trolls. Since the other party ceased the war, he didn't need to worry too much, and went directly back to his camp and sat by the campfire. , leaving Douglas waiting.
With the help of the witch doctor, Ukzi Shading finally stood up after regaining some strength and began to organize the aftermath work, such as treating the wounded, resurrecting his subordinates who were not dead, etc.
It stands to reason that Ukozi-Sandtop could lead the Sandfury Trolls back to Zul'Farrak, but the troll leader ordered his men to camp where they were, while he walked to Mikaela's side.
"Aren't you going back?"
Michaela felt surprised.
Ukzi Shading, who sat down by himself, "hummed" and said, "I don't understand, Michaela. After provoking our Sand Fury Trolls, you elf not only didn't escape, but on the contrary, you didn't escape." Are you really not afraid of us when we stop on this road?"
Hearing this, Torina laughed directly in the spiritual world: "Michaela, this troll is really arrogant."
Michaela laughed it off.
In fact, after dealing with those trolls who think highly of themselves, Michaela already understands the logic of their words. These trolls like to put themselves in a very high position to speak, even if objectively, they are the weaker party.
Therefore, what Wu Kezi Shading said before should actually be translated as: "Why do you take the trouble to take this road repeatedly?"
Michaela turned her head and glanced at Ukozi Shading
, said: "I thought you were going to ask something. In fact, there is nothing to hide. I believe you should have noticed that there have been a lot of transport teams taking this road recently, all heading to Silithus to prepare for Ahn'Qiraj. battle."
"Ahn'Qiraj? Those bugs!"
Ukzi-Shading's expression was full of surprise: "Are you planning to fight those bugs?"
"What's wrong? Is it weird?"
Michaela said casually: "Do you trolls know about those bugs?"
Who would have thought that Ukozi-Sandtop snorted and said, "Don't be too conceited, Elf, why do you think we came to the desert of Tanaris to build a city?"
"Eh?" Michaela turned to look at the other party.
Ukozi-Shading also continued: "As early as tens of thousands of years ago, before even your elves had risen, it was also the time when our troll civilization was at its peak. We fought against the Insect Empire and defeated them. defeated!"
"After the victory, in order to prevent the insects from coming back, a tribe of trolls took the initiative to settle in the desert of Tanaris to monitor the movements of the insects. And that tribe of trolls is our Sandfury Trolls. .”
Damn it!
Only then did Michaela realize: "It turns out that you are the first race to fight against the Insect Empire."
"Don't underestimate us trolls and elves, our history is older than yours."
Ukzi-Sandding said: "Later, it was you elves who caused a big explosion, which caused the continental plates of Azeroth to fall apart and become what it is today. And we, the Sandfury Trolls, were also implicated. I lost contact with the troll empire and could only live here forever. And later..."
Michaela picked up what the other party said: "Later, the elves also began to fight against the insect-men who rose again, and there was the Quicksand War thousands of years ago."
"Logically speaking, it should be our job as trolls to fight against bugs, but it's a pity that we no longer have that kind of strength since we lost contact with the troll empire."
"well!"
Ukzi-Sandding sighed: "Actually, we trolls suffered a tragic victory in the Insect War, so when your elves rose later, we trolls were unable to resist. Otherwise, you elves would have been wiped out by us long ago. Already!"
In the spiritual world, Torina complained: "Ukozi Shading, you really know how to talk."
Fortunately, Michaela is generous and does not care about the offense in the other party's language, because he is more concerned about practical issues:
"Ux-Sandtop, since you trolls have fought against the bugmen a long time ago, do you have any suggestions this time?"
"Those ancient enemies are very powerful and must not be underestimated."
While recalling the records in the historical books, Ukzi-Shading told Mikaela: "But more importantly, the insect army is not all composed of insects, there are also many huge monsters with thick tentacles. He is good at releasing powerful shadow power, and can even twist the mind and cause people to go crazy."
After hearing this, Torina reacted and said, "Mikayla, is Ukozi-Shading talking about the Faceless Man, the servant of the ancient god?"
The Faceless Men are evil creatures that grew from the bodies of the Ancient Gods. Some people believe that they are the most loyal servants of the Ancient Gods, while others believe that the Faceless Men are the extension of the Ancient God's will. No matter what, the Faceless Men are very powerful!
"Faceless Men? Is that their name?"
Ukzi-Sandtop: "In our classics, these faceless men are pervasive. They can change their appearance and disguise themselves as anyone, and then spread chaos and corruption. They are more terrifying existences than bug-men."
"But we still won, we defeated them. The insect empire was defeated by our troll army and split into three parts. One of them was the Ahn'Qiraj insect people of Silithus, and we The reason why the Sandfury Trolls are stationed in Tanaris."
Michaela said: "You know a lot, can you tell us more about the bug-men?"
"sure."
Ukzi-Shading: "Now there are many
People think that we trolls are a barbaric race, but they don't want to understand our civilization at all. You are special, Michaela. Unlike those guys, you respect us and I am willing to share our history and story with you. "
In this way, Mikaela and Ukozi Sandding talked a lot about the war that was submerged in history, the war between trolls and bugs.
Mikaela said goodbye to Ux-Sandtop and began to march towards Silithus, and a few days later, she successfully returned to Cenarion Fortress.
The situation in the fortress at this time was very different from when Michaela left. With the arrival of the Alliance and Horde armies, and the joining of more adventurers, the fortress environment was bustling with people and more lively than before.
The Cenarion Council had already known about Mikaela's return. As the person who successfully restored the Staff of Quicksand, the Council regarded her as a hero and held a grand welcome ceremony, attended by all senior generals of the Alliance and Horde.
Among them, Mikaila saw King Saurfang, who had become the commander-in-chief of the coalition, and the veteran general of the tribe, Salaka.
There was even an old acquaintance from the Alliance, the senior commander Halford Wymbane who had fought against each other in the Arathi Basin.
As a close confidant of Regent Bolvar, Halfer was the candidate proposed by the Alliance to commander the coalition forces. But later, because of Mikaela's relationship, the candidate for the commander of the coalition forces was obtained by the tribe. Therefore, Halfer could only become the commander of the coalition forces in the coalition and needed to obey the orders of King Saurfang.
However, this welcome ceremony was not as simple as it seemed.
Halver walked directly in front of Mikaela and announced publicly in front of everyone: "Ms. Mikaela, according to the agreement between us, you should hand over the Quicksand Scepter to our alliance."
While speaking, Halver even extended his hand to Mikaela.
"Oh no, you are so impatient!" Torina thought, "Halford's movements were too fast."
Since handing over the Quicksand Scepter to the Alliance was part of the agreement between the two parties, even King Saurfang could not intervene, and the old general Salaka could only reluctantly "hum".
So, what should Michaela do?
In full view of everyone, obediently take out the Quicksand Scepter and hand it over to the Alliance in accordance with the agreement?
Of course it's impossible!
Michaela knew very well that Halver took the initiative to ask for the Quicksand Scepter during the welcome ceremony. On the surface, he was complying with the agreement, but in fact, he wanted to use this incident to kill the tribe's prestige.
"Don't think that you can do whatever you want if the commander of the coalition forces is obtained by the tribe. When we want the Quicksand Scepter, you still have to hand it over obediently!"
Torina said in the spiritual world: "Michaela, am I right?"
Thanks for the addition, Torina.
"Then what should Michaela do? Will Michaela hand over the Quicksand Scepter in humiliation like this? Does he have to obey the alliance's orders?"
"No!"
"I saw Michaela pull out the Quicksand Scepter, hit Halver on the head with a hammer, and shouted: 'My fate is up to me."
Note: The above are all Torina's words. In reality, I'm not that stupid.
In reality, Michaela did take out the Quicksand Scepter, but instead of handing it to Halver, he opened his legs and passed it by.
"What do you want to do?"
Halver shouted to Mikayla: "Do you want to break the agreement?"
"No, the agreement is still valid. The Quicksand Scepter will be given to an alliance member, and she will open the Beetle Gate."
While speaking, Michaela had already arrived in front of a human:
"However, this person is up to me to choose!"
