Only when something happens does someone help you
When Hogger Great Chieftain's fleet finally arrived at Dragon Isles's Azure Span, its "fleet" already had twenty-six large and small ships.
In addition to its own Black Morass's several thousand Gnoll and nearly one thousand Green Skins, the troops under its command also have five thousand more Golden Guards and Zandalari. Headhunter, and a musket and mortar regiment composed of six thousand Dark Iron Dwarves. In addition, Marin Noggenfogger used his own connections to get a pirate mercenary army from Booty Bay to Hogger.
This time it can be said that the military looks powerful.
Of course, the price is that Hogger Great Chieftain has taken on a lot of debt in a daze. If Noggenfogger cannot repay Noggenfogger's loan in the future, in the worst case, with the "hard to distinguish" methods of Goblin businessmen, maybe Hogger Great Chieftain is really going to Dark Iron Bar to sell hooks!
However, since everything has been risked, there is no turning back. Hogger is also a courageous person. It is looking at the huge mountain range in the northwest of Azure Span that is almost isolated from the world.
That's its goal.
The local Gnoll Kingdom is hiding in this mountainous area. Because of the closure here for the past ten thousand years, the local Blue Dragon is unable to resist the expansion of Bramblefur Valley Gnoll in Linhai.
But the dragons don't actually need to take action, because the first thing Gnoll's attack will affect is actually those Tuskarr on the coast.
Azure Span has a Tuskarr clan, which is quite large in number and Tuskarr is famous for its great strength. When they fight, they are as ferocious and deadly as walruses in heat. They often engage in chaos with Gnoll near the coast, and over the mountainous area of Gnoll is Ohn'ahra Plains.
The Centaur clan living there has also been harassed by these ferocious Gnolls. Therefore, although the Gnoll Kingdoms are powerful, they are also under attack from both the north and the south.
Centaur is a war race born with the "integration of man and horse". Ohn'ahra Plains is the real "overlord". It really pissed them off and formed a temporary war court. The poorly organized Gnoll will definitely be destroyed.
However, Centaur is not very suitable for fighting in mountainous areas, so once it enters the superior terrain of Gnoll, the war situation will be reversed.
The three parties are in a stalemate with each other, and no one can take advantage of the other. This dynamic balance makes the three parties full of martial virtue, and also makes the situation of Azure Span full of complexity.
"They are not only in this mountainous area, there is a valley in the middle of Azure Span that is also occupied by them. Those bold Gnoll wizards actually dared to peek into Blue Dragon's archives."
Little Dragonkin's Scalelord Sarkareth said in an indifferent tone:
"Before we went home, these Gnolls had sneaked into the archives several times to steal artifacts. It is said that the power possessed by the demigod individual among them came from certain forbidden spells collected by Blue Dragons.
We can't let them continue to be so arrogant.
Therefore, I suggest you, Hogger Great Chieftain, first go to the middle of the forest sea and grab that Gnoll Kingdom valley, in order to show your determination to the Blue Dragons.
The Weaver is still handling the remaining affairs of Titan Keepers at Northrend. The person stationed locally is the mature and prudent Shatterice Senegos.
The old dragon is not very willing to let the sparse Blue Dragons participate in this kind of war between mortal races, but if you perform well, the Blue Dragons will definitely be willing to deal with some unstable factors for their homeland."
"This is indeed a good suggestion."
Hogger, who was more trusting, Green Skins Warlord Maim, also nodded and said:
"If we can let the Blue Dragons exert influence in the air for us, it will only be easier to invade this battlefield with rugged terrain and complex jungles."
"Let me go there."
Rend was holding a big ax and picking his teeth roughly while saying:
"I will take your Gnoll and my subordinate Orcs there, give me a few ships to send us there, and conduct a night attack tonight, and try to send you good news tomorrow morning.
However, Hogger, don't even think about being lazy tonight!
There are more than 50,000 Gnoll in that stretch of mountainous area. The army you built by selling your butt is less than 30,000 in full. If you want to achieve a real victory, you have to ask Black Wolf God's Hunting Pack to take action.
With the help of those Black Wolf who are not afraid of death, it is possible for us to annihilate these miserable heretics."
"You guys, what do you mean I sold my butt?"
Hogger is very annoyed by this statement now, maybe it is also secretly worried about its own miserable future.
He immediately corrected himself:
"I just signed a loan agreement with businessman Goblin. This is not a shameful thing. Didn't the human emperor also take sponsorship from Steamwheedle Prince?
After rounding off, Lothar and I are in the same grade!
Go, go, go and fight your battle, I still have to recruit these guys to set up a camp, I hope those hard-to- trifle Tuskarr don't suddenly come over and beat us up."
Perhaps because he felt that he was acting a little cowardly, Hogger quickly raised his head and rode his own Son of Lycantos Dire Wolf to patrol his army. But the more he looked at it, the heavier Hogger's heart became.
Although he is not a peerless general, he is still a Gnoll leader who has witnessed the Mount Hyjal war.
These guys in front of them are clearly distinguished. The Trolls military guards and the Headhunter and Dark Iron Dwarves firepower units are all very elite forces, but there is no cooperation between them at all. The two sides are at a level where they look down on each other.
Those pirate mercenaries hired by Goblin are even more outrageous.
These guys can only support the situation and fight against the odds. It is absolutely impossible to expect them to make a comeback from the desperate situation. They themselves don't believe it.
After thinking about it, Hogger still felt that it was not safe and felt that he urgently needed to engage in metaphysics to stabilize his mind.
After its inspection, it returned to the ship and planned to find a house to communicate with Black Wolf God.
This is a major event for Black Wolf God's faith hunting group. Lycantos will definitely send wolves to help in the battle. He failed to get a werewolf Warrior. The combat power of those guys in the mountainous area can definitely kill the local Gnoll.
But wolves alone are not enough.
Hogger is no longer the ignorant fool Gnoll. His strategic and tactical skills may not be that high, but they are still average.
This guy has a "secret" that he has never told anyone else. In fact, he is also Ms. Anveena's "Battle. net friend".
The reason why I didn't say it was because it was embarrassing.
Because every time Anveena was brutally beaten by other commanders, he would come to Hogger to play with him. In fact, he just wanted to find someone who was better than himself to gain some confidence.
At least one-tenth of the "99 wins" record before Anveena was achieved here at Hogger.
Of course, Anveena is very busy now, and she doesn't have much time to play games with her good friend Gnoll who hangs out in the fish pond, but this is not a bad thing for Hogger.
After all, losing to a guy who is recognized as a good guy, doesn't it prove that he is the bottom one in the "Azeroth Commander" system?
Gnoll will also be embarrassed if he rides on a horse.
However, the two parties had a mutual love after all, so when Hogger needed help, he decisively contacted his former "net friend", and Anveena responded quickly.
"What, what, what? Why are you running to conquer now?"
Anveena exclaimed:
"I'm still on South Seas directing the insect swarm to surround the remnants of N'Zoth. I can't help you. You should tell me in advance so that I can mobilize a insect swarm to help you."
This response made Hogger feel warm in his heart.
Sure enough, there are no bad friends among friends who play games together?
When everyone else was wondering if they had sold their butts, only Anveena was thinking about helping him.
Although it is true that it cannot help, this intention is worthy of recognition.
"I'm not asking for your help. It's just a civil war in Gnoll. It doesn't require the terrifying power of the insect swarm."
Hogger said with a sad face:
"I just feel that I have a few people under my command now, but this is the limit of my network. I can't get more people, so I just want you to help me come up with ideas."
"This is easy to do!"
Anveena thought for a while and said:
"Didn't you learn from the Trollss before and worship a lot of Loa Gods in your Black Morass city? The Trollss worship Loas because they really help. Faith cannot always be one-way. Consecrations.
Those Loa people have been paying tribute to you for so long. They can't help you much right now, so they have to give you a little help.
Even if it just helps you change the battlefield environment and climate.
A little adds up to a lot.
Moreover, the Azure Span where you are now is not far from Ohn'ahra Plains, right? The Centaur there is a believer of Ohn'ahra. Please pray to the Eagle God and see if the Eagle God can send the local Centaur to participate in the grand event.
I heard Little Star say that Centaur of Dragon Isles is the local leader!
If they are willing to help, half the problem will be solved.
Also, some Tuskarr believe in Torga, and the other part believe in Grol, Shark God. If you contact the two Loa, it would be better if the local Tuskarr can be pulled over to you."
Anveena is indeed different from what it used to be. She gave Hogger a very brief but straight-to-the-point analysis:
"Originally, you should have sent diplomats to unite Gnoll with you to unite all the local Gnoll enemies around you. They have been fighting each other for thousands of years, and their bloody feuds are waiting for the response of the war.
But you came in a hurry, and you don't have any diplomatic talents, so you just keep it simple and rough!
No matter what method you use, just gather people together and fight first. Now I finally understand why Lothar and they always like to cooperate during wars.
When both parties have a common enemy, they have common interests. Diplomacy is not just about making friends. The essence of this thing is pie-making and interest exchange. Making friends is only secondary.
Ah, live and learn."
She sighed with emotion and then warned:
"If you really can't beat them, don't worry, hold the battle line steady. I'm sending a message to the insect swarm over there at Northrend. They are fighting Scourge in the old city of Azjol-Nerub. It's definitely impossible for the army to pass, but you can give you some secondary insect swarms.
It just takes time.
It will take about half a month for the insect swarm to dig its way through the seabed."
"No, no, no, my mind has been opened."
Hogger waved his paws and said:
"Hurry up and get down to business. Gnoll You don't have to worry about this. We are just a second-class race."
"Nonsense!"
Anveena emphasized:
"There is a statue of Gnoll's race in World Mother's temple, which shows that in World Mother's eyes, you are not a secondary race, and to be honest, in World Mother's eyes, you are much more "orthodox" than humans, dwarves and dwarfs.
It's a pity that it appeared late, otherwise it wouldn't be impossible to be on the same level as Trolls and the elves.
But let me make it clear, since there is a statue of Gnoll in front of World Mother, then you have to be more cautious. Although you are definitely not able to meet the standard of "Saviors" now, it is okay to work hard and be a Saviors reserve.
After all, after fighting this battle, you can be considered the "King of the Clan"."
"Really?"
Hogger's heart beat loudly.
After finishing the conversation with Anveena, it stood up and walked back and forth excitedly. It wasn't until a certain moment when Lycantos's Black Wolf illusion squatted in front of Hogger that Great Chieftain suddenly realized it.
This cunning Black Wolf
No wonder it left such a troublesome trial of conquest for itself when it left Azeroth.
"You have long wanted me to represent Gnoll and enter World Mother's eyes?"
Hogger asked directly:
"You really look down on me when you're riding a horse! I even look down on myself when I'm riding a horse."
"Huh, don't think too much. At that time, you were just a stinking stone in the mud pit, but it's different now."
Lycantos didn't care about Hogger's rudeness either. Black Wolf God waved his paws and said:
"Gnoll needs to correct its position in the world system. If you always regard yourself as an "inferior race", then you will never want to stand with people like Lothar, Talanji and Jarod.
Do your best, Hogger.
Your background is too low, so you are destined to have to work many times harder to be recognized by those "heroes". A lion will never be friends with a pig, it will only share delicious food with Tiger.
You want to be Wolf King!
The real Wolf King, instead of being satisfied with the useless little warlord that he is now, do you really think that I can't do anything with Bramblefur Valley's Gnoll?
Don't be stupid!
I am also a strong person Loa.
This is just a "gift" left to you, but if you fail to seize this opportunity, then I will have no choice but to choose another clan king."
After saying that, Black Wolf God's shadow dispersed, making Hogger grit his teeth.
Its mentality now was completely different from before. After taking this matter not as a burden but as an opportunity, the fear and impatience in its heart disappeared instantly.
Hogger grabbed his backpack and dug out the many sculptures of Loa that he had been enshrining. He really believed in the truth that "it's easier to have more friends".
Therefore, after occupying Black Morass, Hogger continued to offer incense and offerings every day, and even allowed the Loas to spread their faith in their own Gnoll clan.
As Anveena said, Loa will definitely not be able to do anything with this kind of incense, but a little help shouldn't be a big problem.
After a while, Hogger received a response from digital Loa.
Thunder Lizard Akunda promised to bless Hogger's army with "rebirth" in the war. Jibul, the god of saber-toothed tigers, would send his daughter to fight for Hogger. Big bat Hir'eek will give Hogger's army the ability to move silently in the dark, and Old Gani will give Hogger's Warrior the vision to discover treasures.
Uh, okay, the power given by Old Gani is the most real, and it is estimated that it can help Hogger pay off the debt as soon as possible.
But the real big deal is that the Eagle God Ohn'ahra agreed to Hogger and would convey its invitation to the local Centaur Khan, but the Eagle God did not give an accurate answer as to whether Centaur was willing to send troops.
Grol, Shark God is much more kind. It directly stated that it would persuade Tuskarr of "Iskara" to join the war and prepare some supplies for Hogger's army.
The responses of six Loa proved that all the previous "efforts" of Hogger have paid off. As Anveena said, this is just a small amount of support, but it is enough to make a qualitative change in Hogger's army.
In the middle of the night, the smug Gnoll Chieftain seemed to have seen victory coming, but when he was about to fall asleep, Hogger suddenly and furtively took out a Holy Crest from the deepest part of his luggage.
That's Holy Crest from Light Weaver Warband.
Hogger picked it up on the battlefield of Mount Hyjal. It knew that this Holy Crest could directly contact Warden Diacum Saint, but it had never dared to contact the agent of the sun.
The main reason is that he is a rural Gnoll Chieftain who works as a mercenary all day long at Black Morass and Stranglethorn Vale. He really has nothing important to report to Saint at Vigilant's level. He can't make a "faith call" just to chat, right?
But it's different now.
To be more serious at this time, it is the eve of the war that directly determines the future of the Gnoll race. If I contact Vigilant at this time, maybe I can get some support from Holy Light for my army?
After much thought, Hogger decided to take the risk and give it a try.
It held Holy Crest in its hands religiously and said some Holy Light Proverb that were not coherent at all, but there was no response after praising it for a long time. This made Gnoll helplessly flick its tail and prepare to go back to the bed to fall asleep.
As a result, as soon as it closed its eyes, Holy Light appeared in front of its eyes.
Hogger was dumbfounded as he watched his consciousness cross the sea of millions of stars at that moment, and finally arrived under a glorious and heavenly place Holy Land.
On the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps in front of you, stands the glorious door of High Heavens.
"Why are you looking for me?"
Vigilant's voice sounded high in the sky, making Hogger's legs weaken and he knelt down.
Happy birthday, Vigilant has really appeared!
