Azeroth Shadow of the Moon

Chapter 325 The end of the two empires (adding 1214 to "Wrath of God of War 1")

Hakkar the Spirit Reaper is one of the loa worshiped by the trolls, and even by the loose standards of the trolls, Hakkar is an out-and-out evil god.

Haka feeds on the blood of intelligent creatures, and the more blood he absorbs, the stronger he becomes.

Because of the relationship between the blood god G'huun, Zandalar has always been vigilant against the blood-related Loa, not to mention that Hakkar is still an unscrupulous evil god.

As early as many years ago, the Zandalari banned the worship of Hakkar. If Gurubashi really secretly worshiped Hakkar, Zandalari, the spiritual leader of all trolls, would definitely not sit idly by.

When Andrea bowed his head to think, Tyrande first gave his opinion.

"Continue to monitor the movements of the jungle trolls and the Zandalari, and report immediately if there is any sign of the two parties joining forces to expand their territories."

Fandral also nodded solemnly, "A unified troll empire is not in the interest of the Night Republic, it is best for them to continue to be divided like this."

"Arrange intelligence personnel to remain vigilant at all times. When necessary, we will send military forces to intervene."

The southern part of the Eastern Continent is still a barren land. In theory, a large piece of land in the southern part belongs to the Gurubashi Empire.

However, due to years of civil wars, the actual control area of ​​the Gurubashi Empire is actually not large, only the vast Stranglethorn Valley jungle and the Dawn Forest connected to the north.

If the Zandalari help the Gurubashi to quell the civil strife, the Gurubashi may even be pushed all the way to the Badlands and Dustwind Gorge on the border of the dwarven and gnome kingdoms without the hindrance of a powerful foreign enemy.

Andrea finally came to his senses at this time, and he suggested, "Santis, I will arrange for Prism's thieves scouts and sentries to cooperate and focus on Zul'Gular."

"I suspect that there are serious problems within the Gurubashi Empire. The Zandalari's eastward journey may not be purely to help them expand their territory."

...

After Andrea adjusted the investigation focus of the sentries and thieves scouts, more information inside Zul'Gurub came from the Eastern Continent.

As expected, the Gurubashi trolls within Zul'Gurub have split into two factions, and are now fighting each other in the jungle troll capital, completely oblivious to the approach of Bloodscalp and Skullsplitter.

Hakkar the Soulflayer has been summoned to the material world, and the Gurubashi trolls who believe in him call themselves Hakkari, and they have fought fiercely with their fellow trolls who oppose the summoning of the Soulflayer.

The most fanatical believers in Hakkari are called Atalai priests. They are going to adopt Hakkari's crazy proposal to seal the souls of the loa gods originally enshrined in the Gurubashi Empire into the Atalai priests in order to obtain Great powers win civil wars.

Although this unorthodox ritual was researched by the Zandalari trolls many years ago, the Zandalari Empire, which advocates symbiosis with the loa, has long banned this dark voodoo ritual.

"This will make the situation clearer."

Andrea relaxed and leaned on the chair in the meeting room, looking up at the map of the Eastern Continent.

"The Zandalar is indeed to help the Gurubashi quell the civil strife, but the impact of this war is too great, and the entire Gurubashi Empire will suffer."

"The forces of Hakkari have gained the upper hand in Zul'Gurub, and the Zandalari can only fight back together with the major clans of Stranglethorn Vale if they want to win."

Tyrande sneered and said, "This approach will undoubtedly leave huge hidden dangers after the war."

"Relying on the influence of the Zandalari, the major clans of the Gurubashi Empire can be forcibly squeezed together during the war, but in order to gain superior military strength, the Gurubashi clan had to make certain compromises with the Blood Scalp and Skullsplit clans."

"Even if Haka can be successfully expelled from the material world, the long civil war of the Gurubashi Empire will not end, and may even intensify."

Tyrande has no other abilities, but she is very good at political struggle. She is the first person to see the future direction of Gurubashi besides Andrea who drives the Prophet.

"Let them go."

Andrea finally came to the conclusion that "after this civil war, the jungle trolls should no longer have the capital to expand northward, and even the Dawn Forest territory they originally occupied would shrink significantly."

'Besides, the Arathor Empire has come to an end, and Stormwind City, which sits in the south...is about to appear? '

The passage of hundreds of years has brought about great changes within the Arathor Empire.

Feeling the decline of the Arathor Empire, the princes and nobles of Strom City left the Arathi Highland where the royal city was located, and went to various city-states to resettle.

Lordaeron, which developed the East and West Wealds, leapt to the top of the city-states, and a large number of nobles moved to the Tirisfal Forest to buy land for reclamation.

With the departure of these nobles, the decline of Strom City is already visible to the naked eye.

Although the descendants of Thoradin's royal family haven't taken any action yet, it doesn't make much sense to keep guarding Strom, the border capital.

According to the intelligence sent by the scouts stationed in Strom City, the recent generations of the Arathor royal family are discussing whether to move south. This decision is related to the survival of the Arathor Empire, and it is not so easy to make.

Although the Arathor Empire has survived in name only, as long as the descendants of Thoradin do not leave Strom, the capital of human revival, the threat of the central government of the empire to the major city-states will still exist.

But once the royal family gave up on Torrent City and went south, the lords of the city-states who had already harbored two intentions would inevitably become kings one after another, and the last glow of the Arathor Empire would also dissipate.

...

The development of the situation was as expected by the Supreme Council.

Under the unity of the Zandalari, the combined forces of the Gurubashi Empire finally won. They drove Hakkar's soul out of the material world, and the Hakkari remnants were also banished to the wild black swamp in the northeast of Stranglethorn Vale.

However, this group of Hakkari remnants obviously did not give up. They built an Atalai temple in the center of the black swamp, and secretly continued to study voodoo rituals in the temple, trying to summon Hakkari back to this world again.

However, the secret research of this group of hapless people did not last long.

In order to facilitate the exchange between the dream world and the material world, about 1200 years ago, at the invitation of the green dragon, Fandral planted a World Tree in the center of the Dawn Forest and Seladan in the north of the Hinterlands.

Through the world tree system connected to Nordrassil, the green dragon can freely travel between various world tree nodes.

The dark rituals performed by the Atalai priests in the temple affected the flora and fauna of the Black Swamp. The green dragon sitting in the Dawn Forest noticed something strange, and bumped into the Atalai priest who was performing rituals on the top of the temple on the way to investigate one is right.

The green dragon's love for nature is even higher than that of the druids. Aware of the sacrilege of these trolls to destroy the ecology, the angry green dragon launched a fierce attack on the Atalai trolls and their temples.

With Ysera in person, the temple was breached by a giant dragon, and the main building of the pyramid sank into the quagmire of the swamp. The panicked Atalai fled and hid in the depths of the swamp, never daring to emerge again.

Not long after the Atalai Temple was sunk into the quagmire, news came from Strom City.

Fadil, the contemporary emperor of Arathor, decided to move his family to the south, and the Arathor Empire, which lasted for more than 1,500 years, finally officially came to an end.
