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

Varian nodded and said, "Well, I'm relieved. When you go back, immediately destroy all the suspension bridges connecting the two sides of the river so that the bloodscalp trolls can't cross the river."

"Understood! Your Highness."

Varian commanded two warships and sailed to Fishman Island near the Reef Sea. He asked the crew and sailors to disembark and wait for him at Fishman Island.

Then the warship was handed over to the black-gilled merman.

After the black-gilled murloc left, Varian fell into deep thought.

The Bloodscalp Trolls' lair, the ruins of Zukunda, is located on the west side of the river, while the basin of the sub-base is located on the east side of the river.

Although this river seems to be only a few strokes away in the game, it is actually very wide, a very large river.

If the bloodscalp trolls want to cross the river, they must pass through the suspension bridge. There are several suspension bridges on the river. If one is destroyed, the bloodscalp trolls should not be able to attack all at once.

If they couldn't cross the river, they could only stare at them from the shore, and then they could just fire at them from the river with warships. It was so cool.

Thinking of this, Varian felt a lot more relaxed.

Fishman Island is now basically inhabited by Saltscale Murlocs. Just now when Varian was testing the warship in the reef sea, the Saltscale Murlocs on the island were alarmed, and a large group of them gathered on the shore to watch.

The leader of the Saltscale Murlocs, Kali, also came to Varian's side.

"Carli, how's the fishing going lately?" Varian asked.

"Very good! In the past, the Saltscale Fishmen mainly fished in the ruins under the reef sea, and they all caught small fish. With the two fishing boats given by His Royal Highness the Prince, we went to the Endless Sea outside. The fishery resources are very rich, and the output is more than twice that of the previous reef sea." Kali said.

"That's good. Have you heard about the recent battle between the Bloodscalp Trolls and the Darkspear Trolls?" Varian asked.

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince and the Darkspear trolls defeated the Bloodscalp trolls with a smaller force. It was amazing." said Kalli.

Varian said: "This is only the first battle. I think there will be more to come. I need the help of the saltscale fishmen."

"Your Highness, please give your orders. The Salt-Scaled Merfolk will not refuse even if it means death!" Kali kicked his legs and said proudly.

"I predict that the next time the Bloodscalp Trolls will come out in full force to attack the Darkspear Trolls. If the Bloodscalp Trolls go on an expedition, the rear will be empty. At that time, I hope that the Saltscale Murlocs can land from the ruins of Zuldany and plunder the Bloodscalp Trolls' lair."

Varian took out a map and showed it to Kali.

From the map, the ruins of Zukunda are located in the center of the Bloodscalp Trolls' territory. About four or five kilometers west of Zukunda is the outpost ruins of Zudanya, which are located on the Savage Coast.

In other words, according to Varian's arrangement, the east and west sides of the ruins of Zukunda will be harassed by murlocs.

The Savage Coast on the west is harassed by the Saltscale Murlocs; the upper reaches of Lake Naferiti on the east are harassed by the Blackgill Murlocs.

"That's no problem! It's a very simple task." said Kali.

"You must be careful and wait until the Bloodscalp Trolls leave before looting the ruins of Zukunda. If they come back, get on the ship and leave. Don't start a war with them. As long as you're on the ship, they won't be able to hit you." Varian instructed.

"Understood! Your Highness."

After explaining everything, Varian used the magic of the time-space gate to bring the crew and sailors of Fishman Island who had just gotten off the warship back to Dagger Ridge Fortress.

.........

The southern jungle of Stranglethorn Vale, the lair of the Skullsplitter Clan, the ruins of Zul'Mawwi.

A skull-splitting scout ran all the way through the jungle back to the ruins of Zulmawi.

Without taking a rest, it came to a stone cave deep in the ruins of Zumawi and said breathlessly to the guard: "Quickly inform them, I have an urgent matter to report to Prophet Mog and Chief Anashik."

The guard saw the scout's anxious face and thought the matter might not be simple, so he immediately said, "Wait a moment, I'll go in and report."

Prophet Mog is the most respected and powerful person in the Skullsplitter Clan.

He is the most powerful shaman, witch doctor, and prophet of the Skullsplitter Clan. He is good at terrible sorcery and witchcraft. When he was young, he used witchcraft to bloodbath the battlefield and was called "Dead Mogg". His strength is even higher than that of the bloodscalp troll "Terrible Nezriok".

Anashik was a young and brave chief, known as "Anashik the Wild".

The Skullsplitter Clan, under the leadership of Prophet Mogg and Chieftain Anashik, fought a long battle against the brutal Bloodscalp Trolls.

Soon, the guard came out and said, "The Prophet lets you in."

After the scout went in, he found Prophet Mog and Chief Anashik discussing something.

Seeing the scout coming in, Anashik asked, "Any new findings? Are there any new movements of the Bloodscalp Trolls?"

The scout said respectfully, "Master Chief, our scout team observed a battle between the Bloodscalp Clan and the Darkspear Clan not long ago!"

"The Bloodscalp clan dispatched about 10,000 people, led by witch doctor Nezzliok, to attack the Darkspear clan in the northeastern basin of Lake Naferiti."

"As a result, the Bloodscalp Clan was defeated, with approximately 9,000 people killed, and Nezzliok was killed!"

Anasik stood up and said in disbelief, "After attacking the Darkspear clan, only 1,000 people are left? Nezzliok is dead too?"

The scout said, "Yes, the Darkspear clan built a huge castle. It is unclear how many people there are. There are also humans and murlocs participating in the battle."

"Okay, I understand. You go down first. You did a good job. Go to the Elders' Council and they will reward you." Anashik said.

"Then I will withdraw first. Thank you, Chief, for the reward."

After the scout left, Anashik looked at Mog and asked, "My Lord Prophet, what do you think?"

Mog said: "The Darkspear clan has less than 2,000 people. To achieve such a great victory, humans must have made a lot of efforts. Remember that the Darkspear clan wanted to form an alliance with our Skullsplitter clan, but we refused."

"I guess they formed an alliance with humans for self-protection."

Anashik said: "In the current situation, what should the Skullsplitter Clan do?"

Mog said, "I want to go to the Darkspear clan's territory in person to see how powerful the Darkspear clan and humans are. If they are really as powerful as the scouts say, then it's not a bad idea for the Skullsplitter clan and the Darkspear clan to form an alliance and jointly resist the Bloodscalp clan."

Anashik nodded and said, "As it should be. I'll trouble the Prophet to make the trip."

Just as the Skullsplitter Clan's prophet Mogg was setting out for the Darkspear Clan's territory, a large group of wounded and exhausted Bloodscalp Trolls returned to the ruins of Zukunda in a very embarrassed manner.

Yes, the defeated Bloodscalp trolls fled back to the northwest jungle of Stranglethorn Vale, the Bloodscalp clan's lair, the ruins of Zukunda.
