Live Streaming: Azeroth

The reason Sharlayan cared so much about the ancient gods of Draenor was that apart from wanting to lift the curse and restore Anzu's strength, there was also a deeper intention.

A preview of underwater combat.

As we all know, the only remaining active ancient god in Azeroth is N'Zoth who hides in the deep sea.

N'Zoth is not stupid, it obviously will not give up its home field advantage, and fight to the death with the defenders of Azeroth on land.

No matter how Deathwing and Valothen jumped up and down, trying to seal N'Zoth again, the final decisive battle would inevitably take place near Ny'alotha, which was buried deep under the sea.

Not to mention that soldiers from all over the world are not familiar with underwater combat, the commanders including Sarlayan also know all about it—nothing at all.

It is true that the orthodox naga headed by Azshara will definitely provide strong support in the final battle, but it is impossible for Sharlayan to place the key to victory in the hands of Azshara, who has a lot of feud with the night elves .

Leaving aside whether Naga, whose stance is still not firm, might have the possibility of defection, if Azshara seizes this pain point and puts forward unreasonable coercive conditions before the final battle, in the current situation of the enemy, Sa Should Leian agree or not?

Therefore, Sharlayan decided to take this underwater battle with the ancient gods of Draenor as a preview of the decisive battle with N'Zoth. In the battle of Rand, he was so arrogant and stupid that he suffered a lot.

After saying goodbye to the preoccupied Vashj, Sharlayan took Onyxia and Jaina directly to Frostfire Ridge in the northwest of Zangarmarsh.

Frostfire Ridge is located in a remote place and has a harsh climate. The old tribes who were invincible in the past didn't even look down on the poor mountains and rivers here.

After the ogres in the Sword Tower Fortress were eliminated, the old tribe's army withdrew without leaving any troops, and almost no troops were stationed here.

Therefore, relatively speaking, Frostfire Ridge is the least fel-contaminated area in Draenor.

However, as the saying goes, there are no eggs under the cover of the nest. If the evil energy is allowed to continue to spread in Draenor, Frostfire Ridge and Farland Island far away overseas will also be hard to escape erosion.

Ever since the Sword Tower Ogre was wiped out and the Thunder God Clan and the Frostwolf Clan left Frostfire Ridge one after another, no one has visited this extremely cold snow mountain area for a long time.

It wasn't until Solas led an army of undead who were not afraid of cold and heat and didn't need food and water supplies to move here from Azeroth that Frostfire Ridge, which was covered with snow all year round, finally regained some "popularity".

Before leaving for Draenor, Sharlayan had sent someone to notify Solas in advance.

The former site of the Blade Tower Fortress was transformed into a brand-new undead stronghold by members of free will. When Sharlayan arrived at the destination, the high-level undead headed by Solas had already been waiting for a long time.

"Yo?"

Sharlayan looked at an archlich following Solas quite unexpectedly: "Kel'Thuzad, when did you come back from the Black Temple? Long time no see."

Kel'Thuzad chuckled and replied, "Not long ago, after I learned that you were coming to Draenor, I bid farewell to Shahras."

"Oh~"

Sharlayan smiled meaningfully: "Your boy always goes to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so you must have come here to find me because you have something to ask for."

Kel'Thuzad spread his hands: "I don't deny it, but let's discuss the serious matters you care about first, and I can discuss my private matters later."

Sharlayan nodded, and turned to Solas and Faol in advance: "So? Is there any result from the carpet search?"

Solas shook his head: "No, we almost turned all the volcanoes around Frostfire Ridge upside down, and found no trace of any dragon eggs."

"Emmmm... that's weird."

Onyxia, who had been hiding by the side and pretending to be asleep, stood up and asked, "Have you searched the underground? Saberian may have buried the dragon egg under the snow."

Solas replied helplessly: "Of course I did. The undead nerubians have drilled all over the underground of Frostfire Ridge, but there is still nothing to gain."

Sharlayan thoughtfully tapped his forehead with his fingers: "It seems that my guess may be wrong."

"Instead of burying the eggs in the best places for hatchlings, Saberian chose to prioritize stealth."

"It seems that we still have to go to Blade's Edge Mountain."

"Blade's Edge Mountain..." Solas reminded with a frown, "The scouts of free will have gradually started to walk out of Frostfire Ridge in recent months."

"Considering that the Naga who ruled Zangarmarsh are allies, the first stop we explored was the Blade's Edge Mountains near the border of Frostfire Ridge."

Sharlayan heard the depression in Solas's words, and asked with a slightly raised brow, "Meet Gruul?"

"That's not true." Solas said with a wry smile: "His Gron sons alone have created a great obstacle to our investigation and exploration."

"And these Goron's subordinates also have a lot of one-eyed demons and ogres, which are difficult to deal with."

Draenor has been continuously affected by the erosion of the land by evil energy. Apart from the sinking of the peak forest of Arak and the emergence of Zangarmarsh out of thin air, the most affected area is the area formerly known as Gorgrond.

Gorgrond was affected by severe geological activities of the same level as the Peak Forest of Arak, and the height difference between different plots was exaggerated, becoming today's Blade's Edge Mountains.

Solas and Faol provided Sharlayan with a lot of information about the Blade's Edge Mountains, including the current composition of forces in the Blade's Edge Mountains area.

There is no doubt that the powerful native demigod of Draenor - Gruul the Dragonslayer is the biggest force among them.

The title of Dragon Slayer was not given to him by Gruul himself, but was given to him by Goron and the ogre who witnessed the battle where Gruul smashed Sabarian back then.

All the ogres and one-eyed demons in Blade's Edge Mountain respect Gruul in name, but Gruul himself is not interested in the intrigue between these different forces.

Therefore, even under Gruul's subordinates, battles between different ogre clans occurred from time to time, not to mention the one-eyed ogre with a more stupid mind.

After years of infighting and cultivating Gu, the Blade's Edge Mountain area has now entered the chicken eating finals. Except for Gruer and his heirs, there are only the last four large forces remaining in the entire Blade's Edge Mountain.

Fao: "These four forces are the Bloodmaul Ogre, the Sword Tower Ogre, the Orc Thunder God Clan, and the Orc Clan with the mixed blood of the Ogre - Moknatha."

"Moknatha..."

Sharlayan narrowed his eyes and touched his chin: "Is it the Moknatha where Beast King Rexxar is?"

"That's right."

Faol nodded and explained: "The Moknatha clan is the Blade's Edge Mountain... or the native clan of Gorgrond. As early as many years ago, the Moknatha clan began to intermarry with ogres."

"Therefore, the members of this clan are far superior to ordinary orcs in terms of physical fitness, and they are not at all inferior to the evil orcs who have been strengthened by evil energy. Rexxar Rema is one of the best."

"The Moknatha clan has always been independent and stubborn. Both Blackhand and Ner'zhul have sent calls to the Moknatha clan, but they have not received a positive response from Moknatha."

"Except for Rexxar, who acts alone as a heterogeneous group, strictly speaking, Moknatha has nothing to do with the tribe at all, because they have never joined the tribe from the beginning to the end... no matter which tribe it is."

"Is that so..." Sharlayan lowered his head and pondered, "Let me think about it first."

According to the information provided by Faol and Solas, the Bloodmaul Ogre and Moknatha are both native forces of Gorgrond, while the Blade Tower Ogre and the orcs of the Thor Clan migrated from Frostfire Ridge past.

Don't think that these four major forces will form an alliance with each other because of the local plot, it doesn't exist.

As early as when they lived in Frostfire Ridge, the Thunderlord clan had many battles with the Blade Tower ogres, and Moknatha, who had some ogre blood, had never been recognized by any ogre clan.

In the case of Gruul himself not doing anything, the last four surviving large-scale forces refused to submit to anyone in Blade's Edge Mountain. The indiscriminate melee caused Solas a headache, and until now he has not been able to figure out how to enter Blade's Edge The clue of the mountain.

"It's basically impossible to win over ogres. I don't believe in the brains and morals of those idiots."

Solas had no objection to this, because what Sharlayan said was true.

With the fall of the Gorian Empire, the ogres that survived by chance lost the ability to mass-produce two-headed ogres.

Without the leadership and planning of the intelligent two-headed ogre, today's ogre social rules are regressing crazily, gradually approaching the primitive settlements of ancient times.

To put it bluntly, whoever has the biggest fist has the right to speak, a proper law of the jungle.

Sharlayan rubbed his temples with a headache: "The Thunderlord clan... I don't think that group of lunatics who are warlike can be won over."

"Using the method of elimination, we can only try to start with the stubborn and xenophobic Moknasa, right?"
