Chapter 291 110. Observation report on various civilizations in the Eastern Continent [Empire Special Edition. Top Secret] -- [535]
(Additional update for the brothers of "Spread your nose and get a nest" [5/5])
"Boom"
Dazzling lightning fell from the sky, illuminating the cold night in the northern part of the Vodun Desert.
It was like a beating thunder snake, pulled by some kind of force, sliding down from the sky, pulling out twists and turns, and landing accurately on the top of the large building on the ground.
There are several very beautiful polished sapphire spiers. When the lightning energy is absorbed, the light splashes on the outer layer of the gemstone, and through the metal connection under the gemstone, these violent forces are sent into the ancient temple below.
This temple of Setaris is the central building of the Faithless Snake Man Empire. It was built by drilling through a mountain, and its shape was shaped into the upper body of the mysterious mistress - that is, the upper body shape of the Snake Man.
This temple rises from the ground, at least several hundred meters high, like a totem standing in time.
At the highest point of the temple, which is constantly attracting lightning, is the unbelieving Emperor Kotek, who is wearing black snake scales, with tiny electric arcs dancing between the scales, just like his habit every night in the past.
It stood on this high point, holding a scepter, looking down at the territory of its empire.
It saw the wind and sand blowing, saw the snake warriors escorting the slaves to trek through the canyon, and also saw another flash of lightning sliding down in the dark night in the distance.
That was the temple of Akunda, home to another Loa who could harness the power of lightning.
Emperor Kotek's snake eyes were filled with dissatisfaction and murderous intent.
Although it has abandoned its faith.
But it still stubbornly believes that the lightning falling from the sky is a symbol of the power of the snake people, and this power should not be shared by other races or creatures.
"Your Majesty."
Behind the emperor, an old faithless snake priest walked up the stairs respectfully. Under the gaze of several cold snake guards, he raised the scroll in his hand and said to Kotek tremblingly:
"The forerunners of the empire have brought us news of holy objects and pious people from the far side of the Endless Sea."
"read."
The Snake Emperor said casually, and its eyes were still looking into the distance, towards the direction of Dazar'alor where the Zandalari trolls lived, which was a fertile and rich land.
There is endless wealth buried there, and it is a territory that every king wants to rule.
Behind it, the faithless priest opened the scroll in his hand. This thing was very long and hung from the snake man's hand to the ground. It was filled with the snake man's words.
"Ahem"
The old priest coughed twice and read in the hissing tone of the snake man:
“The Lord of the Voldun Desert, the noble emperor of all living things and snake-men:
Your loyal servants salute you from the shores of the Eastern Continent. After a long journey over the past month, your servants have finally arrived in a strange land far from home.
Captain Gaboa and his three ships, who led us here, performed their duties perfectly. These cursed pirates are extremely skilled in navigation and their behavior is also quite cunning.
During the journey, we were chased by the warships of the human naval power called 'Kul Tiras' several times, but we cursed the pirates and were able to escape before they caught up every time.
I know that Your Majesty despises this behavior of fleeing without a fight, but your loyal servant must explain to Your Majesty on behalf of those cursed pirates.
Our empire fights on land and is not afraid of provocations from any race. Unfortunately, the battle on the ocean is completely different. Those human warships are majestic and powerful. It is a power I have never seen in the Zandalari waters. .
Their ships are well made and equipped with formidable weapons called 'cannons'.
I saw those weapons in action at sea, when the human navy of Kul Tiras sank a ship the size of a Zandalari naval warship in just one salvo.
The sight of the pirates screaming on the flames of the sea was impressive.
This is the first suggestion I make to your great Majesty.
If the empire wants to build its own navy, it must be equipped with such advanced weapons. Its rate of fire may not be as good as our thunder and lightning crossbows.
But its range and destructive power exceed our weapons.
The most important thing is that the thunder and lightning crossbow can only be used by tribesmen with divine power, while the artillery can be used by even the weakest tribesmen to destroy the opponent with only simple training. "
The old snake-man priest wanted to continue reciting, but he saw Emperor Kotek raising his finger in front of him.
Obviously, the content of this letter has attracted the emperor's attention. The black snake-man emperor spat out the snake letter, and it asked:
"My loyal General Ardris is not a man who only gives advice. Did he leave any instructions on how to obtain that weapon called 'artillery'?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The old snake-man priest looked under the scroll. After a few seconds, it answered:
“General Adris said that he had reached an agreement with a force called ‘Venture Capital Company’ in a place called ‘Booty Bay’.
Those creatures called 'goblins' will follow the route given by the general to visit our empire and bring us artillery and other engineering weapons.
The general also warned that these goblins have the technology to build 'steam ships', which can just make up for the empire's lack of maritime power.
But they are very cunning and greedy. Please send your Majesty the brightest scholars in the empire to talk to them about business. "
"Greedy? Haha."
Emperor Kotek laughed like a snake. He held his gorgeous scepter embedded with lightning sapphires and said:
“I like greedy people.
As long as their greed is satisfied, they will bring new power to the empire. Under this desert, there are as many treasures buried as quicksand, and only we snake people can find them.
If all the goblins needed was money.
That question is too simple.
Keep reading. "
"As you command, Your Majesty."
The old priest returned to the place where he was interrupted before and continued to read:
"My warriors and I, on the advice of Captain Gaboa, did not immediately go to the northern part of the continent to look for the city called 'Dalaran'.
Instead, they bypassed the coast of Booty Bay and headed to the Cursed Land to observe the war between humans and orcs.
I have to say that this is the most rewarding part of my trip.
It allows me to see more clearly the war potential of human civilization for Your Majesty and the Empire. Because of the blockade of the Kul Tiran fleet, our fleet cannot get close to the battlefield.
But I saw the fighting posture of the two Kul Tiran fleets when they blocked the sea area. I have to say that I was shocked.
Although saying this may make His Majesty dissatisfied, with the strength of the Faithless Empire, it is completely impossible to defeat Kul Tiras on the sea.
In fact, according to what Captain Gaboa and I discussed.
Even if the empire and the Zandalari trolls unite, and the Zandalari trolls are proud of their golden fleet, and start a decisive battle with the Kul Tiras navy on the sea, the chances of victory are probably not great.
Because there is a strange spell caster on the Kul Tiras fleet called the 'Tide Sage',
They have the power to control the sea.
Moreover, the king of Kul Tiras, Daelin Proudmoore, is the best commander on the sea in this era, which is also affirmed by Captain Gaboa.
He said that if Dailin were born in his time, he would definitely become the most troublesome opponent for the Zandalari pirates.
But Kul Tiras is only one of the seven human kingdoms. This is enough to prove the war potential of human civilization, and it also makes me feel pessimistic about the action of recovering the keystone.
Warwick, the prophet of the Serpent People, has indeed found a powerful ally for them. "
Thinking of this, the old priest secretly glanced at the back of Emperor Kotek. When he saw His Majesty's tail lighting up arcs of electricity, the old priest spat out the snake letter in fear.
His Majesty is unhappy.
It was hesitant to continue reading, fearing that the next content would make the emperor furious.
I also complained in my heart that this General Adlis was indeed a famous 'upright man' in the empire.
Now that you've traveled thousands of miles to write an observation report, can't you pick out something good to say? The emperor cannot punish you, but he will punish me when he is angry.
This is like a snake sitting at home and a pot coming from the sky.
"Keep reading!"
The cold voice of Emperor Kotak echoed on the top of the temple. It spit out a snake message and said:
"I will listen to the report of my most loyal general and will not punish you for it."
"As you command, Your Majesty."
The old priest breathed a sigh of relief and read again:
“I stayed outside the cursed land for three days, and through our scouts using poisonous arrows to knock down several humans and orcs on the battlefield and bringing them back to the ship for torture, I figured out the war situation in the eastern continent.
The war between human civilization and the orcs from another world lasted for six years.
The humans were once cornered, but with the combined efforts of their heroes and the kingdoms, they defeated the orcs. But this is not all due to the courage and strength of humans, but also to the sudden weakness of the orcs.
The war is now coming to an end. The orc tribe has been destroyed, and most of the force has been annihilated or captured alive. From the captives, I learned that there are still some orcs who are holding on to a place called the "Wetland".
Those Dragonmaw Orcs can control dragons to fight, and they have a deep hatred for the Alliance, so they may be able to help us.
I have sent an envoy to contact the Dragonmaw clan.
They are now isolated and have a good chance of accepting our good intentions. "
After the old priest finished reading this paragraph, he pulled the scroll upwards and read again:
“After leaving the Cursed Land, Captain Gaboa took me and my warriors all the way north. We crossed the Arathi Highlands and entered the Hillsbrad Hills.
After spending some time, we walked around the cold foothills of Alterac and finally saw the city that contained the keystone.
Dalaran.
Humans call it the Magic City.
Although in my opinion, these spellcasters are no more advanced than the Empire's Skycallers. When I arrived, Dalaran was still damaged by the war.
It is said that when the orcs besieged the human city of Lordaeron, the orc warchief sent the orcs from the Dragonmaw clan to besiege Dalaran in order to prevent human mages from interfering with the war.
This city was attacked by a large number of red dragons.
To be honest, the fact that it can still maintain most of its buildings intact after being burned by dragon fire shows that this magical city is extraordinary.
After personally inspecting the ruins of the magic circle on the edge of Dalaran, I came to a more pessimistic conclusion:
My noble Majesty, with the end of the frontline war, the casters of Dalaran have returned to defense. If the snakemen alone are to capture this city, we must dispatch no less than 100,000 elite warriors to resist. While attacking the ground armies of the four surrounding human kingdoms, snatch the keystone from Dalaran.
But we lack sea transportation capabilities, and such a large-scale operation will definitely attract interference from the Kul Tirans. Our army will not even be able to reach the eastern continent completely.
But luckily, we don’t have to do this alone.
Captain Gaboa gave me a suggestion. He said that he could find the Amani, a large clan of forest trolls located in the northern border of the eastern continent. These trolls were almost exterminated by humans and elves three thousand years ago.
They also hate humans.
If we can form an alliance with those trolls, then we don't need to send our warriors to die, but if we want to conquer Dalaran, we will have to provide them with magical support.
My Majesty, I hereby implore you, please be prepared to activate the 'god' in the temple.
If my diplomatic efforts go well, we may soon get a chance to enter Dalaran and retrieve the keystone with the help of our allies.
In addition, I have also found out the whereabouts of the pious snake people.
The group of cowards who fled their homeland are currently thriving on an island called 'Tol Barad' in the western sea of the eastern continent. A local farmer has seen them and an old snake man who is suspected of being a traitor to Warwick. .
I will continue to operate in the eastern continent, seeking allies for your cause and that of the Empire. This letter will be brought back to Vol'dun by Captain Gaboa.
May the empire be great forever.
May your Majesty be everlasting.
——
From your loyal servant Adris, in Eyrie Mountain, Dark Portal February 7. "
The general's report had been finished, and silence fell at the top of the temple. After a few minutes, Kotek seemed to have made up his mind, and he waved his paw back.
explain:
"Let the priests immediately awaken the evil god 'Gavaszt' and give it to the cursed pirate Gaboya. He will take it to the eastern continent and give them all the supplies they need.
Convey my orders to Adris.
I don’t want casualty figures!
I just want the keystone! "
