Crossing Azeroth, starting with the Heroes of Might and Magic system

Hearing Sen'jin's words, Varian patted the griffin and landed in front of the middle-aged troll.

He asked, "Troll, what is your name, and what clan are you from?"

Looking at the royal emblem on Varian's body, Senjin guessed that the young man in front of him might be a human prince.

Sen'jin said: "My name is Sen'jin, and I am the leader of the Darkspear clan."

Varian was stunned for a moment. Isn't Sen'jin Vol'jin's father?

Varian knew that Sen'jin led the entire Darkspear clan to move to the Echo Isles because of the fighting among the troll clans in Stranglethorn Vale, where he met Thrall and joined the Horde. After he was killed by the murlocs in the Echo Isles, his son Vol'jin succeeded him as the leader of the Darkspear tribe and led the tribe to move to Kalimdor and established Sen'jin Village.

He also knew that the Darkspear clan did not participate in the war against Stormwind Kingdom, which was very important. Only with this could there be a foundation for peace.

In addition, the Darkspear clan, the Bloodscalp clan, and the Gurubashi clan all have conflicts. As the great man said, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. These are troll clans that can be won over.

"This is human territory, what are you doing here?" Varian asked.

"A large-scale war is taking place between the Bloodscalp Clan and the Skullsplitter Clan in Stranglethorn Vale. The Bloodscalp Clan has gone crazy and wants to kill all the Darkspear Clan and Skullsplitter Clan deep in Stranglethorn Vale. We have sought help from the Gurubashi Trolls in Zul'Gurub, but received no help."

"The Skullsplitter Clan and the Bloodscalp Clan are still fighting. The Darkspear Clan is relatively weak. In order to avoid being wiped out, we have no choice but to stay away from the battlefield."

Sen Jin said helplessly, with a sad look on his face.

Then he added: "Please allow the Darkspear clan to live in human territory for a while. We will not disturb human life. When the situation changes, we will return to Stranglethorn Vale."

Varian listened, thought for a moment and said, "You want to live here, I have no objection, but I have a better suggestion."

"What advice?"

"I am Prince Varian of Stormwind. The Darkspear clan can ally with me. I will assist the Darkspear clan in building a solid fortress in Stranglethorn Vale, and also assist the Darkspear clan in defeating the Bloodscalp clan, defeating the Gurubashi clan, and capturing Zul'Gurub." Varian said.

Senjin pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, let's not talk about whether we can achieve our goal. Assuming we achieve it, what will be the price for the Darkspear clan?"

"It's simple, because I know that the trolls in Zul'Gurubi are summoning the Blood God Hakkar, and I must destroy them. After destroying them, the Darkspear clan may control the entire Stranglethorn Vale. In order to ensure that the Darkspear clan will not do anything detrimental to humans, you have to sign a soul contract." Varian said.

"Also, humans assisted the Darkspear clan in retaking Zul'Gurub. If there are other enemies attacking humans in the future, the Darkspear clan should also assist in the battle."

After hearing this, Sen Jin fell into deep thought and did not reply for a long time.

He was in deep conflict. If he formed an alliance, he would sign a soul contract, which meant he would be controlled by humans forever. However, the human prince said he would help capture Zul'Gurub, which was extremely tempting to the Darkspear clan.

If the Darkspear clan only had more than 2,000 trolls, they would never be able to defeat the Gurubashi trolls, nor would they be able to stop or even destroy the evil god Hakkar.

If humans can help destroy the evil god Hakkar, then it seems worthwhile for them to make some sacrifices.

Varian didn't rush him and let him think about it carefully.

The reason why he wanted to help the Darkspear clan was mainly because of the power of the trolls.

Several clans of trolls have large populations. The Bloodscalp Clan and the Skullsplitter Clan both have populations of over tens of thousands, while the Gurubashi trolls in Zul'Gurub have a population of over 100,000.

The trolls are very powerful. In the original book, after the orcs came out of the Dark Portal, they tried to attack the trolls in Stranglethorn Vale, but were met with stubborn resistance. They never broke through Stranglethorn Vale and instead destroyed the human Stormwind City.

As for why Varian did not rule the trolls himself but assisted the Darkspear clan, the main reason was that it would not be as good for humans to rule the trolls as for the trolls themselves.

If the Darkspear clan unified the Stranglethorn Vale, then the hundreds of thousands of trolls in the Stranglethorn Vale would become Varian's allies. In this way, when the orcs come, humans will have a powerful helper.

Seeing that Sen'jin couldn't make a decision for a long time, Varian guessed that he doubted whether he had the strength to attack the trolls of Stranglethorn Vale, so he said: "Sen'jin, how about I invite you to visit my territory and make a decision after the visit?"

Sen Jin nodded and said, "Okay."

Varian grabbed Sen'jin and cast the magic of time and space gate. Varian took Sen'jin and dozens of Darkspear clan leaders and returned to Daggerridge Fortress in an instant.

The trolls were shocked at the sudden change in the scene before them, and were stunned by the young prince's advanced space magic.

The guards at the Dagger Ridge base saw a group of trolls suddenly appear on the grass and were so nervous that they took out their weapons on the spot.

He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the leader was Prince Varian.

Varian said to the guards: "These trolls are my friends, don't worry, just do what you need to do."

"Yes, Your Highness.

Afterwards, Varian took the troll leaders to visit various military camps and introduced all kinds of troops to them.

Senjin was deeply shocked. The knights, griffin riders, ballistas, and sharpshooters here all left a deep impression on him.

And there are a lot of people (because Sir Lothar sent thousands of soldiers to train here), and this is just a fortress.

Then Varian took them to the dock, and the troll leaders saw many murlocs working on the beach, and even saw a fishing boat full of murlocs.

They found that the kobolds and murlocs were here, able to work and live like humans.

Senjin was deeply shocked again.

Varian said: "If the Darkspear clan does not want to return to Stranglethorn Vale, they can all come to Daggerridge. I can arrange for them to hunt, mine, and cut wood, and they can live a normal life."

"Of course, if you want to return to Stranglethorn Vale, or even restore the glory of the trolls, then I can help you build a fortress like this one."

Varian knew that Sen'jin was a wise and majestic troll leader with extraordinary courage and fighting spirit, and it was unlikely that he would give up Stranglethorn Vale just like that.

Sure enough, Sen Jin finally made a decision and said, "I agree to your conditions. I am willing to form an alliance with you. Please help me build a fortress."

Varian took out a soul contract and handed it to Sen'jin.

Sen'jin signed the soul contract readily. He thought that if Varian wanted to harm him, he could just kill him now without any troublesome conspiracy.
