After getting rid of the obstruction of the fog, Jaina's team set up camp on a nearby high ground with a good view. Infrastructure was being built in full swing in the camp, and Jaina spread out an ancient table on the table that had just been placed. Night elf map.
Most of the place names on this map are marked in the ancient Elvish language, and mixed with a lot of phonetic notation and naming in the local language of Pandaria. Even the knowledgeable Jaina found it very difficult to read.
But after careful observation, she roughly confirmed one thing, that is, they should be in the eastern area of Pandaria. This area was named "Emerald Forest" by the locals.
Unfortunately, this map was drawn before the Great Schism. At that time, Pandaria was still part of the ancient continent of Kalimdor and was not surrounded by seas like it is now, so she could not use this map to provide information to her family. fleet looking for a suitable port.
And judging from the scenery and landforms they had just seen along the way, I am afraid that the southern area where they landed has no place suitable for large ships to park, because the entire southern part of the Emerald Forest is either a shoal or is guarded by dense stone forests. It is completely unsuitable for ships to berth for long periods of time.
However, it is not difficult to solve this problem. As long as we can find towns with local residents or even ancient coastal ruins, it should not be difficult to find a location suitable as an alliance port to communicate with this continent.
Just when Jaina was concentrating on drawing a new regional map based on ancient maps, a magic pocket watch she carried suddenly vibrated. She quickly took out the pocket watch and laid it flat on the table - it was given to her by Arthas. The gift is also a magic item that the two usually use to communicate.
"Jaina? It looks like you have successfully found Pandaria."
Alsace's gentle voice slightly cheered up Jaina's tired spirit during the voyage in recent days, "It's not an exaggeration to say that this place is a paradise on earth. You should come and see it for yourself, and if you come , the time it takes us to find Varian should be shorter."
"I also hope, but unfortunately I have to take some precautions in advance," Alsace said with a little regret. Pandaria is indeed a peaceful land. Now the tribe and the alliance will not continue the war on this land. The demon's The threat should be much smaller. "There will be opportunities, but don't take it lightly. Pandaria is a land loved by the gods, but it is precisely because of this that many beings will want to take it as their own - if you encounter If you are in danger, tell me in time and I will be there immediately."
"I'll be careful, and so should you."
After saying that, the magic of the pocket watch fell silent again, and Jaina took a breath. Just as she was about to return her attention to the map in her hand, she heard shouts coming from the camp.
"Sentinel, what is that in the sky?!"
"It's a snake! A flying snake! Everyone, beware of attacks by local creatures!"
The shouts of the sentries put everyone in the camp on alert immediately. They were all elites who had survived many wars and had experienced various situations. Being attacked by local wild animals was nothing new, so it was very difficult. Reacted quickly.
However, Jaina used magic to see clearly that the creature flying in the sky and seemingly controlling the clouds was not a flying snake, but a creature with a head shaped like a giant dragon and a body as slender as a snake, but with sharp claws. Novel creatures.
And the opponent does not seem to be wild, because on its back, there is a strange-shaped saddle, and a race that Jaina seems to have seen somewhere...
"Panda Man?"
Jaina herself was a little unsure. The pandaren race had always been mysterious. Although there were rumors and records about them in the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor, no one knew where they originated, because they were almost destroyed. In all the continents I have traveled, I have never found a large Pandaren settlement.
Although Arthas told Jaina some things about Pandaria in advance, and Jaina also knew that the largest ethnic group living in Pandaria is the pandaren, the dress and style of the pandaren on the back of the strange creature were different from what she had seen before. The recorded Pandaren are different.
"Archers and snipers remain on alert. Everyone else is working as usual. The other party should not be hostile." Jaina gave the order after some thought. The other party came to face an entire camp alone and did not deliberately conceal their whereabouts. In addition, the Pandaren Mostly peaceful by nature, Jaina only retained the most basic vigilance methods in the camp.
Not to mention that she is the strongest and most reliable "security measure" in the entire camp. If the other party is really hostile and does not take them as a whole camp seriously, then with their improvised simple defense Measures will not play a critical role.
Soon, Jaina's conjecture was confirmed. The huge dragon-like snake-like creature slowly landed in the open space of the camp accompanied by wind and clouds, and the bloated figure above it showed a completely different body shape. With mismatched and flexible movements, he landed on the ground with a slight jump, without even stirring up much dust.
Jaina was very skillful in blessing herself with an arcane language. This spell can deconstruct the language of intelligent creatures and transform it into one she can understand.
The pandaren who landed on the ground slightly adjusted the brim of his round hat, clasped his hands and bowed to Jaina, his tone was calm but also revealed a bit of fierceness.
"I haven't seen an outsider for a long time... It seems that as the Supreme said, the time for change has come," the Pandaren muttered to himself for a moment, "Hello, outsider, I am Zhu Taran, the leader of the Shado-Pan. Been waiting for a long time.”
How long do you have to wait?
Jaina responded calmly, "Hello, best wishes... Master Taran, I am Jaina Proudmoore, the archmage of Dalaran and the lord of Theramore. What do you mean by 'how long' you've been waiting for?" What means?"
"That's the literal meaning." Zhu Taran's scarf covered his face, and only a pair of bright eyes were exposed under the wide brim of his hat. "Although it's hard to say, we urgently need your help - believe me, this is also helping." Yourselves, I will tell you the details slowly."
After the leader of the Shado-Pan said these words, he felt helpless in his heart. Although he was very reluctant to admit it, the Supreme is the Supreme. He originally wanted to use the power of the Shado-Pan to resolve this disaster, but as a result But it was not satisfactory. The Shado-Pan's offensive was blocked outside the Valley of Eternal Blossoms because they encountered an unexpected enemy-the Mogu tribe.
After the collapse of the last Mogu Empire, the Mogu tribe has been leaderless. Therefore, the Pandaren were able to overthrow their tyranny and establish their own civilization. The chaos within the Mogu tribe continues to this day.
These half-stone, half-flesh intelligent races are extremely arrogant. They will not obey those who are weaker than themselves. Therefore, the mogu warlords have serious internal conflicts and are scattered throughout Pandaria. They have almost no time and no ability to unify all the power of the mogu. pose a threat to other races.
Although the Pandaren on the edge of the Mogu territory were still exploited and plundered by the Mogu from time to time, they were able to repel the Mogu's invasion. This friction lasted for countless years.
But this time was different. It was the first time that Zhu Taran saw Mogu from different clans gathering together and working together for the same goal. This was undoubtedly an extremely dangerous signal. If the Mogu really gathered an army, And elect a supreme commander, then countless creatures will die in the war launched by Mogu.
This is not the worst part. Once the mogu army sweeps across Pandaria, the evil demon will surely be stimulated and awaken again. The awakening of the evil demon will stimulate the mantid outside the dragon's spine. So many disasters will happen at the same time. Zhu Taran couldn't even imagine what terrible things would happen.
Recently, Mantid activities have increased again. There are already some manpower shortages on the Dragon Spine side. The Shado-Pan also has to deal with mogu and the Sha demons that may be resurrected, as well as a group of naga who are causing trouble somewhere. The entire Shado-Pan Paidu was really tired of dealing with it.
It can be said that Pandaria's hopes are helplessly pinned on these "outsiders" who Zhu Taran still doesn't know the details of.
