In the months since Sharlayan left Azeroth for the Shadowlands, the overall situation in Azeroth has not changed much.

The most noteworthy event in the past year was the peace agreement between the Anti-Lordaeron Alliance headed by the Kingdom of Alterac and Lordaeron.

Under the full mediation of Quel'Thalas, a third-party neutral country, the two sides finally reached an agreement after more than two months of wrangling.

With the vigorous dissemination of the reorganized Silver Moon Daily, the news quickly spread throughout the entire Eastern Kingdom, even the Stormwind Kingdom far south of the mainland.

However, for Sarlayan, the peace talks between the two sides were just the inevitable result of the exchange of mutual interests under the circumstances of the war at that time, and it was already considered old history.

What Sharlayan cared more about was the follow-up of the Battle of Alterac.

As expected by Sharlayan, the new king of Alterac, Inselton Perenolde, could not let Edlas Blackmoore, a young boy, continue to occupy his territory.

After taking care of the reconstruction of the ruins of Alterac's royal city, Inselton, who has not yet moved back to the royal city, launched a call to the whole country in Steinbride's palace (formerly Fakurest Castle).

After experiencing the Battle of Alterac, the Syndicate and Ravenholdt thieves who were willing to serve the new king have gone through the trials of blood and fire and become more elite.

Inselton also kindly adopted Sharlayan's suggestion before parting, and trained troops before the battle and pulled up a new army that was extremely loyal to the kingdom.

Since the Kingdom of Alterac is going to be rebuilt, a new army with combat effectiveness is very necessary. Bandit groups like the Syndicate and Ravenholdt cannot be expected to charge at the front line of the battlefield.

With the complete fall of Duke Faculest, the leader of the Syndicate, the existence of the Syndicate, an unofficial organization, has entered a countdown.

Most of the original Syndicate members who were willing to be loyal to the Kingdom of Alterac were merged into Ravenholdt. Duke Jorach Ravenholdt was ordered by the new king Inselton to create an exclusive syndicate based on Ravenholdt Manor. The official intelligence organization for the Kingdom of Alterac.

As the saying goes, soldiers and horses go first before using food and grass.

During the Battle of Alterac, Inselton learned a lot from Sharlayan, including the importance of intelligence and logistical supplies.

Blackmoore of Durnholde was a nail that must be pulled out. Before the regular army was ready to move, Ravenholdt moved first and felt the inside and outside of Durnholde Castle clearly.

Edras Blackmoore cannot be said to be an idiot, but his personal ability is really limited.

It is no problem for him to train gladiators, but asking Blackmoore to purge the intelligence personnel... that is indeed a bit difficult for him.

The Kingdom of Alterac has not officially used troops yet, but anyone with a keen sense of smell can detect the smell of gunpowder permeating the hills of Hillsbrad.

Durnholde Castle's good days are fast coming to an end.

Sharlayan accepted Durotan's entrustment, and naturally he wanted to send the Buddha to the west. He wanted to fish Thrall... or Gu Yiner out of the castle before Durnholde was destroyed.

But at the same time, there was another piece of information that Sharlayan had been paying attention to that was captured by the Backlight Blade.

"The Blackrock orcs started another war in the Blackrock Tower?"

This bad news made Sarean frowned slightly annoyed.

Ever since Stellagosa acted as an intermediary and let Dagran Thaurissan establish contact with the water element of Hydraxia behind the back of the Black Iron Council, the Dark Iron dwarves loyal to the royal family began to secretly prepare against the Black Iron Council. Enslavers of the Dwarves—Revolt of the Fire Elementals.

The preparatory plan was going smoothly. Thanks to the efforts of Dagran and Moira, the fire elemental loyalists in the Black Iron Council did not notice their little tricks in private.

But at this moment, the Blackrock orcs who occupied the upper floor of the Blackrock Tower suddenly attacked the Blackrock Abyss without warning.

Onyxia asked in confusion: "What is Nefarian thinking? Could it be that the experiment didn't go well and he wants to use mortal wars to relieve boredom?"

Sharlayan said thoughtfully: "Is there a possibility that Enzos behind the black dragon and the fire element sensed something and deliberately beat the Dark Iron Dwarf in this way?"

"Probably... no."

Stellagosa took the words and analyzed: "Based on the behavior of the ancient gods, if Enzos really discovered the black iron dwarf's little abacus, he should directly instruct the Fire Demon King to destroy these disobedient mortals. It is necessary to beat around the bush in this way."

Jaina, who was in the same car, asked curiously: "So, the military action of the Blackrock orcs was personally instructed by Nefarian?"

"What the **** is he planning?"

Onyxia spread her hands helplessly: "I also want to know this question. Since Nefarian locked himself in the Blackrock Tower, I have become more and more incomprehensible to him."

Affected by Deathwing, the relationship between Onyxia and Nefarian was not very good.

But anyway, they are also brothers and sisters who grew up together. Onyxia asked herself that she still knew Nefarian well.

As she herself said, since Nefarian moved the colorful dragon laboratory into Blackrock Tower, Nefarian in Onyxia's memory has gradually drifted away, and what she did made her more and more incomprehensible.

Judging from the information sent back from the Blackstone Tower, the Blackrock orcs' attack strength is not too high.

Having lived together in the Blackrock Spire for many years, the Blackrock orcs and the Dark Iron dwarves are old neighbors, and they know each other well.

According to Dagran, this round of attacks by the Blackrock orcs was not aimed at winning, it was like coming out to exercise their muscles after being bored in the tower.

If it was an orc in a normal state, with their warlike nature, Sharlayan would not be surprised by this kind of training-style skirmish.

But that's where the problem lies.

After the end of the Second Orc War, all orcs who drank the blood of the demons were severely affected by the side effects, and began to become tired and unable to motivate.

Under such circumstances, Red Blackhand is not a fool, it makes no sense to let the orcs who are not in good condition take the initiative to provoke disputes.

Salayan said with a headache: "So the question comes back again. This is obviously Nefarian's instruction. What does he want to do? To gain a sense of presence?"

In order to compete for the orthodox succession of the Black Dragon Clan, there is bound to be a battle between Ebythian and Nefarian.

Considering this, Sharlayan turned to Onyxia and asked: "How is the battle strength of the Obsidian Holy Land assembled? Are you sure you can break through the Blackrock Spire and take Nefarian?"

Onyxia shook her head: "Ebyxian's remedial training has basically ended, but the black dragons of the establishment faction haven't recalled enough, and it will take about 1-2 years to prepare. Now is not the best time to do it."

"Hmm..." Sharlayan lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "Since the Blackrock orcs' attack is not strong, let them go for now. I trust Dagran's judgment."

"I plan to go to Hillsbrad first to fulfill my promise to Durotan and rescue his only son Goyil from the castle."

'Perhaps, there should be a Taresa. '

Taretha Foxton, the most important family member of Thrall's childhood.

Taresa is the daughter of Blackmoore, the lord of Dunholde, and it was her family who took care of Thrall to grow up healthy. The young Thrall has always regarded Taresa as his own sister.

According to the barrage, Taresa has a good face, and after she gradually grew, she was taken by Blackmore and forced to be his mistress.

In the original history, it was with Taresa's help that Thrall was able to escape from Dunholde Castle and began his legendary life from then on.

However, Talisa was killed by the angry Blackmoore because of this. When Thrall led the new tribe army to Durnholde to rescue Talisa, the frenzied Blackmoore actually threw her distorted head to Sal.

Originally, Thrall didn't intend to storm Durnholde Castle, but wanted to negotiate peace with Blackmoore.

Thalesa was tortured and killed completely angered Thrall, and the new tribe army launched a fierce attack on Durnholde Castle under his command.

Thrall finally killed Blackmoore in a one-on-one duel and avenged Taresa, but those who had lost could never come back.

Even in his rage~lightnovelpub.net~ Thrall still kept Taresa's teachings in mind and did not harm the civilians of Durnholde.

It can be said that Taresa played an important role in Thrall's growth as a humanoid orc.

The kindness of Taresa's example infected Thrall. He never forgot the teachings of his sister who had no blood relationship with him throughout his life, and worked hard to become the hero she expected.

If Taresa did not die, she would continue to influence Thrall in her later life, making the savior shaman's dovish path more determined.

And this is obviously more in line with Sharlayan's expectations for the new tribe. He doesn't want to see the alliance and the tribe fight like crazy in the original history. These two powerful military groups should have joined forces to protect Azeroth and defeat the Burning Legion. Conspiracy with the old gods.

"Go back and pack up first. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the Sun Chaser Court to meet the Sun King, and then I will rush to Hillsbrad as soon as possible."

Sarlayan was a little worried about the situation of Taresa and Thrall: "I hope there is still time, and I don't know if Blackmoore will lose his mind hysterically under the tremendous pressure."
