Chapter 871: Treasure Bay
The Valley of Thorns, located at the southernmost tip of the Eastern Kingdom Continent, close to the Twilight Forest and the Western Wilderness, is the largest, busiest and most dangerous area in the entire Eastern Continent.
In this vast rainforest area, the constant showers and the humid climate they create breed a wide variety of plants, some of which are harmless and some of which are deadly.
Gorillas, panthers, tigers and other beasts roam the jungle from time to time, and the jungle is full of danger due to prey beasts.
They weren't the deadliest, though, and the real ones were the trolls who had made their home here since ancient times.
As the only area untouched by the earth-shattering war of the Ancients, the Valley of Thorns preserves a vast legacy of the ancient troll empire of Gulabash.
Zukunda, occupied by the blood-topped trolls, Zumawi occupied by the skull-splitting trolls, and Zurghrab, the birthplace of the Gulabash civilization, are ancient troll cities that have survived to this day and have not been destroyed by the Destruction Caste.
Due to the presence of these trolls, Thorn Valley has become extremely dangerous, as these trolls also have a name - trolls.
Yes, they will eat people, and the methods are cruel.
Once any of the unlucky eggs are caught by them, directly wiping their necks and committing suicide is the best way to avoid pain.
For human beings, the Valley of Thorns is a land full of hostility, ordinary people respect it and stay away from it, and those who love adventure and thrill-seeking regard the Valley of Thorns as a happy land, this is a land where only the strong can survive, because there is no law here, or here the fist is the law, as long as you are strong enough in the Valley of Thorns, you are the law, you are the sky.
Danger and excitement are relative, ordinary people feel that the Valley of Thorns is dangerous, adventurers feel that it is exciting, and the strong regard it as a paradise, as for the demigods...... Well, the Valley of Thorns isn't anything special in the eyes of the demigods, at least for a demigod named Leo.
When the Hammer Dwarves defeated the Trolls of the Branches and successfully defended Zuvasha, Leo knew that his trip to Hinterland was over.
As Woking thought, he wasn't going to let the trolls fall, at least not yet.
The location of Eagle's Nest Mountain is too important, so that the Hammer Dwarves have to rely on the Kingdom of Arasuo, which is of great help to the development of Arasuo.
At the request of Cardros, he went to the Eagle's Nest Mountain, and Leo wanted to give the Hammer Dwarf a little sweetness, and the Dwarf Prince helped Leo solve the problem of the bear monster, and it was really unreasonable for Leo not to help deal with the evil branch trolls.
Poor Zuvasha's walls and the hordes of beasts gathered by the trolls were a gift from Leo to the Hammer Dwarves, and if Kadros's self-esteem wasn't so strong, he could even have Leo help them capture Shadralo.
The Hammer Dwarves were unwilling to get too much help from outside forces in the conquest of Hinterland, and after successfully holding Zuwasa, they did not ask for any more, and after talking to Woking, Leo arranged the affairs of the bear monster and immediately set off back to Riptide Castle.
It stands to reason that except for a few people in the entire Riptide Castle, except for a few people such as Edlaide and Verry, it is impossible for anyone else to know, and even if the news leaks, it is impossible for it to reach Woking's ears in such a short time.
But Wojin knew that Leo had gone to Hinterland, and this problem was serious.
Could it be that there is an internal annihilation in the core layer of the kingdom of Araso?
Leo didn't want to think so, but the situation didn't help him.
It turned out that the core layer of the kingdom of Araso was still reliable, and after nearly a month of thorough investigation, no one had any problems.
Since Woking's source is not Arathasak, how did he find out?
This became a question on Leo's mind.
Woking told Leo that he would summon the blood god Haka in two months, and seeing that a full month had passed, Leo did not dare to delay, so a figure wearing a full-body cloak appeared in Treasure Bay.
As in the case of Garkison, Booty Bay, located at the southernmost point of the Valley of Thorns and the southernmost point of the entire Eastern Continent, is also a goblin city, where you must follow the rules whether you are from the Alliance or the Horde or you will be expelled.
If you dare to play tricks, the goblins will make you understand why goblin technology is so famous.
Leo's arrival didn't make waves in the Treasure Bay, not that he wasn't famous, but that others didn't know he was coming.
Hiding your body in a full-body cloak may attract attention in other cities, but not in Treasure Bay.
Out of the treasure bay is a dense forest full of lawlessness and killing, and no one who has been mixing in this area all the year round has few enemies, and no one will easily expose their whereabouts.
Add to that the fact that people who use the neutral cities of goblins to make shady deals, and there are even more people who are reluctant to reveal their identities.
In a mixed city, not to mention the appearance of a person with a hidden identity, it is not surprising that even if there are a thousand or ten thousand.
The best way to hide a drop of water is to hide it in the ocean.
As long as Leo doesn't lift his cloak, who knows he's from Riptide to Treasure Bay, thousands of miles away?
Compared to Leo's low profile, Woking is the complete opposite.
The fleet of the Darkspear tribe marched into the Grom High, the tribe's stronghold in the Valley of Thorns.
After seeing tens of thousands of Dark Spear troops appear in the Valley of Thorns, even rookies know that something is wrong.
Could it be that the Horde wants to go to war against Stormwind?
Only a tiny fraction of people think so.
Indeed, starting from Grom High and passing through the dense forests of the Valley of Thorns, the twilight forest in the hinterland of the Stormwind Kingdom and the western wilderness of the granary came into the sight of the tribal army, but the Stormwind Kingdom is not a fool, will it not be on guard?
If the tribe really wants to deal with the Storm Kingdom, it's too late to hide their whereabouts, so how can they make a big splash, isn't this a clear way to let the other party be on guard?
Some may say that this is a game of psychological warfare, to make the Stormwind Kingdom think that the Horde will not attack them, but will Varian be fooled?
Regardless of whether your tribe really wants to attack me or not, I will be on strict guard, what are you still playing with psychological warfare?
Besides, the Horde had just lost a lot of soldiers in the Battle of Angela Temple, and at this time the battle with the strong alliance was almost zero, and it was impossible for Thrall to let Woking take this risk.
Since the chances of the Horde and the Alliance going to war are close to zero, what is their purpose in coming to the Valley of Thorns?
As a tribe of jungle trolls, the Darkspear tribe is a tribe that lives in the Valley of Thorns, and if it weren't for the Gulabash trolls who launched a war to forcibly drive them out of this land, how could Wojin lead his people across the endless sea, experience the danger of extinction, and settle in the Echo Islands with the help of orcs?
Based on their knowledge of the grievances between the Gulabash trolls and the Darkspear tribes, those who learned that Woking had entered Gromgau with a large army made a judgment that the Darkspear tribes had come back for revenge.
After years of banishment by the Gulabash trolls, Woking, who had grown the clan to grow, returned with his younger brother to find a job.
It turned out that he came back for revenge!
A group of adventurers were interested, and the mercenaries were gearing up to do a big job.
The Gulabash Empire is long gone, and this powerful troll empire has long been divided, but the destruction of the Gulabash Empire does not mean that the Gulabash trolls have disappeared.
In the troll cities of Zukunda, Zumawi, Gash, Barriman, and Jubvar, there are also various troll tribes born after the division of the Gulabash Empire, which are all objects that the Darkspear tribe can take revenge on.
The Valley of Thorns is about to fight!
Land-giving adventurers and mercenaries poured towards the Valley of Thorns like locusts, and everyone knew that if Wojin came to seek revenge, the battle between the Darkspear Trolls and the Gulabash Remnants would burn through the Valley of Thorns.
The Valley of Thorns is home to numerous ruins of the Gulabash Empire, which hold coveted treasures, but the ruins are not borderlands, and the treasures are not available to anyone, and the jungle trolls will turn you into a corpse before you can find the treasure.
It's not that there are no mercenaries and adventurer teams who have fought those ruins, but the trolls are very tenacious, and they are extremely strong in the jungle, and the rewards they get after paying heavy casualties are not even enough pensions, and everyone stops after a few tosses.
Originally, many people were already dead, but the arrival of the Dark Spear Troll gave them hope.
Powerful mercenaries and adventurers wondered if they could fish in troubled waters while the Darkspear Trolls were fighting against the Gulabash Remnants, pick up a bargain, and make a fortune.
Those who don't have the strength are not far behind, others eat meat, they drink soup, and it is impossible to make a big fortune behind the dark spear troll, but there must be a small fortune, if you are lucky, it is not impossible to get a valuable item that others have not discovered.
The opportunity to make a fortune is in front of them, everyone wants to try, no one thinks that they are unlucky, and everyone holds the view that they may be the lucky one who makes a fortune.
The arrival of countless mercenaries and adventurers has made the already lively Valley of Thorns even more lively, and it has also made the goblins who run the Treasure Bay earn enough gold coins, and even cover the whereabouts of some people with intentions.
"Man dies for wealth, and birds die for food. These mercenaries and adventurers don't want to think about it, Woking is a troll known for his cunning, how can he be so easy to pick up? It's really a good idea. ”
Walking through the Treasure Bay, listening to the city's rumors of how they had benefited from the war between the Dark Spear and the Gulabash Remnants, Leo held a moment of silence for the poor mercenaries.
I don't know how many of them survived after this incident.
Feeling emotional, Leo had already arrived in front of the inn in Treasure Bay, and he stepped into the inn, but a dark shadow came head-on with a smell of alcohol.
A drunk who drank too much?
Leo frowned, and a wave of magic swung out, trying to push the oncoming black shadow away.
At this moment, something surprising happened, the drunken man's somewhat fat body twisted, just unloaded the thrust of the magic flow, and walked out of the hotel from Leo drunk.
There are two brushes!
Leo tilted his head, he didn't care very much, there are more capable people in a world, what's all the fuss?
"Oh, no! Lao Chen, this guy drank up my treasures, but only paid half of the money......"
The goblin owner of the inn complained, but looking at the bulging money bag he was carrying in his hand and his face smiling like a blooming autumn chrysanthemum, as long as he was not a fool, he knew that this guy was not losing money at all.
Leo was about to book a room with the goblin boss but was suddenly stunned, what did this goblin just say?
Lao Chen?
Could it be Chen. Storm spirits?
