World of Warcraft Murloc City Guide - Chapter 363

c363 Conditions for alliance

On the central mesa of Thunder Bluff, Yang Yi met the tauren warchief Cairn Bloodhoof.

Yang Yi bowed respectfully and said hello. Dear Tauren Warchief, I am Poseidon, the mayor of Ratchet Town. ”

“Hello, Poseidon.” Kane said with a smile. He nodded, paused, and then slowly continued: “Why did you come to see me?”

Kane’s speaking speed was slow, especially his pause just now, which made Yang Yi very uneasy. He didn’t know whether it was his turn to speak or whether he should wait.

After finally adapting to the rhythm of Kane’s words, Yang Yi quickly stated his purpose. “We in Ratchet hope to become allies with Thunder Bluff.”

After Yang Yi finished speaking, Kane remained motionless.

If it weren’t for the wind blowing and stroking his mane, Yang Yi would have even suspected that the scene in front of him was a still picture.

Casting a questioning look at Bain beside him, Bain indicated that everything was normal.

This is probably what Bain said about his father’s state of thinking.

After a while, Kane rolled his eyes and began to speak.

Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the tauren chief would enter a state of thinking for days.

Kane spoke slowly and forcefully.

“I never envisioned an alliance between the murlocs and us tauren.”

“I am honored by your offer.”

“But I’m afraid I must now refuse the offer.”

“My people do not understand you and your people.”

“It would not be wise to accept you now.”

Sure enough, there is no chance.

Yang Yi sighed softly.

At this time, after a pause, Kane spoke again. It turned out that he had not finished speaking.

“Bane told me about you, Poseidon.”

“I heard you have a way to deal with the harpies.”

“I look forward to your performance.”

Kane stopped after he finished speaking.

Upon hearing this, Yang Yi became hopeful again.

Kane did not refuse completely, but gave him a chance to see his performance.

Yang Yi had already thought about getting a certificate before he came, and this was equivalent to explaining his words.

Yang Yi waited for a while until he confirmed that Kane had finished speaking, and then said: “I will. Thank you, the Great Chief of the Tauren.”

Farewell to Kane, Yang Yi and Bain returned to the Highlands of Elders.

Slack’s injuries have been stabilized after Nala’s treatment, and he is resting on a blanket on the ground.

Nala saw Bain and Yang Yi coming back and asked about going to see Kane.

Yang Yi told Nala the whole story in detail.

Bain once said that Nala was a smart tauren, and Yang Yi hoped that she could provide some advice.

In fact, Nala’s identity is not as simple as it seems.

Archdruid Hamuul Runetotem is the advisor to the tauren warchief Cairn Bloodhoof. As Hamuul’s student, Nala is actually Baine’s successor as advisor after he succeeds to the position of warchief. who.

Nala thought thoughtfully after listening to Yang Yi’s words. She said: “Our tauren clans currently have their own needs. Meeting these needs has made Thunder Bluff focus on one thing and not the other. Moreover, our people have preconceived impressions of the fishmen. , so even if the Great Chief is willing to accept you, he will inevitably encounter various resistances. ”

Yang Yi understood what Nala meant. The fishmen had a very bad reputation, and they were also unpopular among the kind-hearted tauren.

“So, are we murlocs really out of business?” Yang Yi asked.

Nala thought for a moment and said, “I wonder if you know how the Forsaken joined the tribe.” Seeing Yang Yi shaking his head, Nala continued. “The Forgotten occupied the ruins of Lordaeron in the Eastern Kingdom and established the Undercity, and then began to look for allies. The Banshee King Sylvanas sent an envoy to Orgrimmar to meet with the Horde Warchief Thrall, but was The Forgotten’s undead identity was questioned by other members of the tribe.”

People have a deep-rooted impression of the vicious nature of the undead. Compared with the harm caused by the undead, the murlocs can only be regarded as a trivial matter at best.

“Then how did the Forsaken find allies and successfully join the tribe?” Yang Yi asked.

“It was the elder Magatha who first suggested accepting the Forsaken, and my teacher foresaw the possibility of redemption in the hearts of Sylvanas’ people. He convinced Thrall, the chief of the tribe, and also let other members of the tribe relieve themselves. “In the end, a bridge of alliance was established between the Forsaken and the Horde, which gave the Horde an important forward base in the Eastern Kingdom controlled by the Alliance,” Nala said.

Yang Yi had heard about the tauren helping the Forsaken join the tribe before, but this time he understood the key after hearing Nala explain it in detail.

As undead, the Forgotten were able to join the Horde camp. First, they received the help of the tauren from Thunder Bluff, who successfully allowed the tribe to accept the identity of the Forgotten. At the same time, the Forgotten Undercity in the Eastern Kingdom has important strategic significance for the tribe, which is also the key.

Nala told Yang Yi the story of the Forsaken joining the tribe. In fact, he was telling him that if the murloc wanted to become an ally of the tauren, he must first be accepted by the tauren, and secondly, the murloc must show its value to the tauren.

Even the undead like the Forsaken can do it, so why can’t the fishmen have any chance?

“Thank you, I understand.” Yang Yi thanked Nala. “Can you tell me what the current needs of the tauren clans are?”

“You can ask Bain about this.” Nala said and glanced at Bain.

Baine stood there like a wooden man, motionless, just looking at Nara. It was not until Nara mentioned himself that he came back to his senses with a smile.

Next, Baine and Yang Yi talked about the situation of the various clans of the Tauren.

Just like the straightforward character of the Tauren, the internal forces of the Tauren are not complicated. The forces that can influence the murlocs and the Tauren alliance are the ones that are on the surface.

First is Thunder Bluff, the capital city of the Tauren, which is mainly composed of four parts: the Central Terrace, the Hunter Plateau, the Soul Plateau and the Elder Plateau.

The Central Terrace is the city center of Thunder Bluff and the home of caravans, travelers and craftsmen of various tribes. It is ruled by the Tauren Chieftain Cain.

The Soul Plateau is the religious center of the Tauren who believe in shamanism. The Tauren shaman priests are not good at fighting and always keep a low profile until the appearance of the old woman Magatha broke the peace.

Needless to say, Elders’ Plateau, Nara’s teacher, Archdruid Hamuul Runetotem, is here to instruct the new Tauren druids. Hamuul is also the chief of the Runetotem clan and a good friend of Tauren Chieftain Cairne.

These three Tauren are the most important figures in Thunder Bluff.

The remaining one is Hunter’s Plateau.

Hunter’s Plateau is where brave hunters who hunt in Mulgore gather. For all Tauren, hunting is a recognized right. Tauren believe that it is through hunting wild beasts that they become strong. Therefore, the number of Tauren hunters is the largest. If the murloc wants to ally with the Tauren, it is best to get the recognition of this group.

In addition to Thunder Bluff, the Tauren clans living on the Mulgore steppes should also be strived for.

The two most influential Tauren clans in Mulgore are the Bloodhoof clan and the Hawkwind clan.

Yang Yi wanted Baine to take him to meet the key figures of each level, but was stopped by Nara.

“You’d better fulfill the expectations of the warchief first, so that you can gain their trust,” said Nara.

The warchief’s expectation is the performance of the murlocs against the harpy. Nara means that the murlocs must do something first, and then Yang Yi can go to meet other tauren.

Yang Yi agreed with Nara’s statement.

“It seems that helping Baine defeat the harpy is far from enough to be a token of allegiance with the tauren. At most, it can only be regarded as a stepping stone.” Yang Yi thought.

Then Yang Yi stayed in Thunder Bluff for a few more days, and waited until Slark’s wound healed before preparing to leave Thunder Bluff.

Although Yang Yi’s proposal of an alliance between murlocs and tauren was rejected, this trip to Thunder Bluff was not in vain. At least I have figured out the clues and have a direction in the future.

Moreover, during the few days he stayed in Thunder Bluff, Yang Yi walked back and forth on several high grounds and had a deeper understanding of the tauren in Thunder Bluff.

The affairs of Bloodhoof Village were busy, and Baine stayed in Thunder Bluff for less than half a day before leaving. Yang Yi and Slark thanked Nara and said goodbye. The two fishmen were about to leave the Elder Highlands and head for the flight point of the Central Terrace.

A familiar minotaur appeared in front of them.

Yang Yi looked and saw that it was the little cow Kaya Flat Hoof.

“Mayor Poseidon, my teacher wants to see you.” Kaya Flat Hoof said.

Yang Yi was stunned.

The teacher Kaya was talking about was naturally the old woman Magasa. Magasa was one of the minotaurs that Yang Yi wanted Bain to take him to find a few days ago. He didn’t expect that she would take the initiative to see him.

“What does the old woman want to see me for?” Yang Yi asked.

“I said when I was in the Dead Water Fishman Village that we will have many opportunities for cooperation in the future. Isn’t this coming to you for cooperation?” Kaya said with a slight smile.

Yang Yi couldn’t think of any cooperation between him and Magasa, but thinking that he had something to ask of her, it would be good to meet her.

Yang Yi and Slark followed Kaya to Magasa’s residence on the Elders’ Highlands.

This was Yang Yi’s second visit to Magasa’s residence. He saw two black bulls wearing heavy armor and holding large wooden axes as guards outside the tent.

Yang Yi recognized that one of the black bulls was actually the level 7 Tauren warrior Kaur Wild Totem who had gone to Deadwater Village to cause trouble.

Yang Yi had no idea when he came last time. This time he used the Lord’s Eye to check and found that the other black bull guard was also a level 7 Tauren warrior.

“Two expert warriors guarding the door, what a big show.” Yang Yi secretly smacked his lips.

Yang Yi was about to take Slark to see Magasa, but Kaya stopped them and pointed at Yang Yi. “Only you can go in.”

Yang Yi had nothing to say about this. He told Slark a few words, asked him to wait outside, and then walked into the tent alone.
