Shadow Trails in Azeroth

The Nagfar slowly set sail from the gloomy coast. Under the control of the ship spirit, this black ghost ship was steady and quiet, like a noble lady strolling towards the boundless sea.

On the deck where the fog was gradually rising, several shield maidens were carrying weapons on their backs for their first patrol.

Behind each guy is a team of elite ghost sailors. The sailors who were always noisy in the past will be as quiet as chickens. They didn't dare speak pornographically in front of the Shield Maiden, so what about the ghosts?

Being hit by that heavy fist will still hurt.

As the trusted boatswain, the Supreme Shield Girl Heya, under the leadership of her good sister Finna, traveled around the ghost ship to get acquainted with the "new home" where she would stay for a long time in the future.

The few passengers are all quiet-tempered. They are all waiting in their respective cabins for the start of the journey.

Especially Khadgar, who was looking forward to seeing Garona again and didn't want to have any communication with Black. After all, he had learned a lot from being pissed off by the stinky pirate every time.

"I don't think this is good."

On the side of the ghost ship, the honest tauren chief Kane was waving goodbye to his orc friends on the shore. After the thick fog blocked his sight, the old cow swung his tail and made an angry sound to the drunken man wearing a pirate costume next to him. Stinky Pirate said:

"You can't hold other people's children hostage and ask the fathers to do things for you. This is too evil."

"Where are you now? You feel evil. Besides, are you teaching me how to do things?"

The stinky pirate glanced at Kane, pursed his lips and said:

"Although you are good at fighting, I advise you not to get involved in this matter, Kane. This is an agreement between me and the orcs, and these guys are not good people.

I will give you a copy of "A Brief History of Orc War" later and you can read it yourself.

You will know what outrageous things your new friends have done in the Eastern Continent in the past seven years.

You simply don’t understand the inherent contradictions in these orcs. After you understand them, you will also become more considerate of them. Especially if you invited the Warsong clan into Desolace

How is your relationship with the night elves? "

"Okay."

Kane said in a tauren's voice:

"Besides the war, the Kaldorei will trade with us and exchange our herbs for their food. The druids of the Cenarion Order are very supportive of our war with the centaurs, and they will also send some additional supplies. .

But that’s about it.

The elves are not willing to join the battle in Desolace. I can understand their concerns. After all, if they mess with the centaurs, it means that Stonetalon Mountain will also be in trouble. "

"You are considerate and in the mood to think about them."

Blake rolled his eyes and whispered:

"If I were you, just what if, I would accidentally let a group of vicious centaurs rush into the southern Feralas wilderness.

You know, the Southern Chapter of the Silver Wing Sentinels is stationed there, and Shandis Feathermoon is not an easy woman to deal with. She is the 'Valkyrie' among the elves, with a wolf-like personality.

Once the two sides come into contact, casualties occur.

The Bloodhoof clan would instantly have an unrivaled ally throughout Kalimdor.

Really, it's very simple, all you need is for your guards to get drunk alone one night and block the road to Feralas that you have blocked for a short while."

"Elves are not fools."

Kane shook his head and said:

"They support us with food at a price. Black, your idea is not only evil, but also vulgar."

"Then let me ask you, is it more important that they support you with food and their 'friendship'? Or is it the destruction of the Centaurs that is more important?"

The pirate asked:

"This will make you offend the Kaldorei, but so what? It is impossible for the Kaldorei to make peace with the centaurs. Once the two sides start a war, the only outcome will be a fight to the death.

I know you're hesitant, worried about offending the mighty Kaldorei, but don't worry!

They won't target you until the centaurs are wiped out.

Elves are very smart.

As long as you really make up your mind to do this, they will definitely acquiesce and accept this fact. As for the war between the elves and the tauren, that will have to wait until the centaurs are wiped out.

This is called 'drinking poison to quench thirst', my Kane, but if you don't drink this pot of poisonous wine, you will die of thirst.

Of course, you don’t have to face the cruel question of ‘whose hands will you die in?’ now. You have used your bravery to find enough reinforcements for your tribe.

Victory is a foregone conclusion, the only question is what to do with the power behind the centaur.

Speaking of this, I suddenly had a new idea. "

Blake put his hand to his mouth and blew a sharp and bright whistle. Ten seconds later, a black shadow fell from the sky and plunged into the fog surrounding the ghost ship.

Kane's eyes were dazzled when he saw a black-feathered falcon with an unusually fast appearance on Blake's raised arm. The pirate stroked the falcon's feathers and said to Kane, "Quiet! Watch my performance." eyes.

Then he said in a long voice:

"The Kaldorei's reluctance to intervene in the war between the tauren and centaurs is actually not just for their own benefit. The matter here is complicated.

Listen to me and tell you slowly, my friend Kane.

The birth of my horse stems from a poignant love story, between an elemental princess of noble birth and a demigod descendant with an equally distinguished background. Their union is a tragedy.

The most terrible thing is that this tragedy also spawned a series of unsolvable tragedies.

Centaurs are the product of the combination of two forces. Kane, you have been wondering that they can not only steal the blessing of Mother Earth, but also have such an exaggerated and strong body.

In fact, it is very simple. The power of the earth comes from the centaur's maternal line. I have already told you this, but the natural strength of the centaur comes from the power of their father's line. "

The stinking pirate glanced at Hisari Black Crow, who was preening her feathers gracefully. He coughed, and as if a secret was revealed, he said to Kane Bloodhoof, who was waiting for the answer:

"The father of centaurs is the demigod of nature, Cenarius, the king of the forest."

"Quaa?"

The raptor druid who was preening her feathers almost shouted out loud, causing her to glare at Blake instantly, you stinky pirate, what are you talking about when you drink too much yellow soup?

How could it be Lord Cenarius's?

"My son!"

Black, who was panting heavily, finally said the second half of the sentence, which made Hesali Black Crow disperse the murderous intention in her heart.

For the druids, the status of Cenarius, the King of the Forest, is indescribably high.

Even saying bad things seems to be a kind of blasphemy, not to mention that Black is already known by many people as a prophet. Once this nonsense spreads, even if the King of the Forest himself comes forward to refute the rumor, it will probably cause a storm.

But...as long as it's not Lord Cenarius.

Miss Black Crow didn't react for a while, but just as she lowered her head to comb her feathers again, the whole eagle body started to tremble.

What?

The centaur is not the child of the King of the Forest, but belongs to his grandson?

Is it so exciting?

But if you think about it carefully, this revelation from the stinky pirate is indeed possible.

After all, the centaur's size and serious demigod descendants are a bit too similar to those jungle guardians and tree monsters.

They are all composed of the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse or deer, and the centaur is obviously more powerful, which fully shows that these barbarians really have the advantages of two bloodlines.

Kane was also stunned by the truth Black told.

Although he looked honest, he was not stupid. What Black said was enough for the tauren to figure out the truth.

No wonder the elves have been ignoring the tauren's pleas for help. No wonder they provide food and require the tauren to stop the centaurs from wreaking havoc. Well, the root of this lies with the elves' demigods.

Cenarius didn't want to make his family's scandal public, but he let the Minotaur take the blame for his family.

This made Kane feel dissatisfied.

This is the mess you elves made, come and clean it up! asshole!

The pirates seemed to sense Kane's dissatisfaction, and he persuaded him very hypocritically:

"This incident is actually not to blame on the elves. The King of the Forest's favorite rebellious son, Zalta, could not control his lower body and lived with Princess Theradras without shame.

This is how barbarians like centaurs were born. Their bloodlines are so noble, so it stands to reason that they should become nobler creatures than tree demons and jungle guardians.

But unfortunately, they did not inherit the advantages of both sides from their parents, but inherited the shortcomings of both sides.

The uncontrolled wildness and the power of rebellious earth combined to create a disaster for the tauren, and even the son of the demigod himself suffered greatly.

Maybe you don’t know yet? "

Blake shrugged and whispered:

"Zalta is dead, in the hands of his first centaur sons. Those barbarians were eager to gain power. They did not dare to resist their more powerful mother, but they attacked their father.

They do gain strength.

But they are also cursed by the heartbroken Earth Princess.

They were deprived of the only wisdom in their blood and were driven out of the natural holy place, which was once the 'House of Love' of Princess Zaalta and Theradras.

The Earth Princess, who was grieving because of her lover's death, used forbidden methods to keep her lover's soul. She extracted the vitality of the desolate place and built a cemetery for her lover.

But the news was withheld, my Kane.

Cenarius thought his son was still alive.

He used his influence and did not want the druids to get involved in his family affairs. He also hoped that his rebellious son would change his mind one day and return to his big family.

Gee, the poor father would never have imagined what happened to his son, but that was all Zalta's fault.

If you take this news to Moonglade, if you collect Zaltar's body and send it home, I believe that the King of the Forest will give the tauren a generous reward."

"To hell with his reward!"

Kane gasped and said with red eyes:

"If his son is not dead yet, I will break that bastard's neck with my own hands! Can the so-called pain suffered by Zaltar be compared with the thousand years of torture suffered by the Tauren?

His willfulness caused a disaster, and I have to clean up the mess for his doting bastard father?

What a bullshit demigod!

After I solve the centaur problem, I will go to Moonlight Grove to ask him personally, ask the king of the forest, is his son's life the same as our tauren's life? "

"Well, don't be so impulsive, my friend."

The pirates hurriedly "persuaded":

"Cenarius is very powerful. You are no match for him alone, and the druids will stop you. I mean, you shouldn't go alone.

And it’s not convenient for you to do this kind of thing that will make people hate you.

Didn’t you just meet a new friend who is eager to challenge your strength? Grom will definitely thank you for finding him such a powerful opponent.

Believe me, he will happily carry Gorehowl to 'seek justice' for his tauren friends. "

"Damn it!"

Hearing that the stinky pirate was tempting Kane to take revenge, Miss Black Crow suddenly felt nervous.

As a Druid who watched the whole process of Hela's death, no one knows the violent fighting power of this group of warriors better than her. Judging from Grom Hellscream's final battle performance, the King of the Forest may not lose, but he is injured. definitely.

Coupled with the fact that top warriors like Cairn Bloodhoof are angry, the demigods will be in trouble.

She was determined to fly to Val'sharah immediately and tell the news to the great druids, but then, Black Crow hesitated because this matter was indeed a tragedy caused by the King of the Forest's inaction.

Seriously, the druids are unreasonable.

Although these natural believers worship demigods, the source of their power is nature. The way of nature emphasizes balance, and the druids cannot do such things.

What's more, as the demigod's son Zalta who caused all this, he himself is not well-known among the druid community.

He is far inferior to another son of Cenarius, Lord Remulos, who guards Moonglade all year round. The latter is the true guardian of druids and nature. The druids even built a temple for him.

If this matter really comes out, it's hard to say how many druids will support Lord Cenarius.

But no matter what, this matter must be reported to the Cenarion Order.

The archdruids must re-examine the relationship between the Kaldorei and the tauren. They must find a way to appease the tauren who were furious after learning the truth. Otherwise, once the centaurs are defeated, the two races are likely to become hostile.

It would be fine if it were just a tauren.

But now, the Bloodhoof clan has received help from the Highmountain clans, orcs, and Blackshaw, not to mention that Cairne Bloodhoof himself is a warrior favored by the Lord of War, Odin.

Once the war actually started, Kane was heartbroken and led the Bloodhoof clan, all of which were strong men, to sell themselves to Odin.

Black Crow was just thinking about this when he heard Blake faintly suggesting to Kane:

"Don't look forward and backward when doing big things! Kane, now that you know the truth and have decided to seek justice from Cenarius, I will definitely help.

After all, we are friends.

When attacking Moonglade, remember to ask Lord Odin for help. He will agree to any request made by a warrior like you. After death, the soul of the great warrior returns to the Hall of Valor.

With Odin's overbearing character and the fact that truth and justice are on your side, I believe that you can get enough in exchange for an army of heroic spirits that can level the Moonlight Grove for you.

Let me tell you secretly, there is a wild demigod sealed in the Moonlight Grove.

It hates the druids so much that if you can free it, you don't even need to fight.

No tauren will die, and you will see the natural temples of the Kaldorei reduced to ashes by the Nian's wrath."

"Shut up, you stinky pirate! Don't say any more!"

Miss Sisali Black Crow felt the seriousness of the problem more and more. She screamed, took off from Black's wrist, turned into a black arrow and flew towards the sky of Val'sharah.

Blake watched his precious egg leave. He immediately stopped talking and smiled in confusion.

Kane said with a strange expression at this time:

"Well. I appreciate your advice, Blake, but I'm really just going to question him. I'm not planning on starting a war, and honestly, the horrific things you've described to me scare the hell out of me.

This is not something we tauren can do!

The tribes of Highmountain will not help us do such a thing. They have a closer relationship with the Kaldorei. "

"Yes, I know. I am just describing to you the most terrible consequences that this matter can cause. There is a high probability that it will not become a reality."

The pirate grinned and whispered:

"But the druids don't know that I'm joking, and you just need to let them know that you can do this, and you just need to let them know that I have my dark wisdom to advise you.

that's enough.

Believe me.

Druids make good decisions.

Also, is your brother Hamuul still a shaman?

No, no, no, it would be a pity for him to be a shaman with his talent. Send him to Moonglade to be your interrogator, and he will also gain some luck. "
