After resting for a night in the wilderness, Aaron and Vereesa followed Tauren on their way back to Sun Rock Retreat. Without the interference of Harpy, the road was relatively safe. Only some brainless beasts would bump into them in a daze.
Along the way, Aaron also saw the fighting power of Tauren - when he fought with Harpy before, Tauren was limited by the ground and suffered a lot during the fight. He could only rely on his rough skin and thick flesh to withstand Harpy's attack.
But when dealing with those beasts on land, it's time for Tauren to show off. These powerful Warriors with brute force can make smaller beasts fly away just by smashing the totem pole on the ground. Even the rough-skinned and thick-skinned Thunder Lizard will only turn into meat when hit by the totem pole.
What surprised Aaron the most was that Tauren seemed to have a very high demand for food. Whether it was wild beasts or wild fruits, Tauren didn't let go of them. It wasn't until all the backpacks on Kodo's backs were filled that the Taurens stopped digging nearly three feet into the ground to collect.
After passing the location where Aaron and Harpy were ambushed, the team turned north until they saw a canyon between the mountains on the west side and entered the canyon directly.
The environment of this area is better than the area Aaron passed through before. Scattered weeds and some not-so-well-growing numbers can be seen on the ground. Considering Stonetalon Mountains's poor environment, the home Tauren chose for himself is pretty good.
After entering the depths of the canyon and seeing the whole place clearly, Aaron realized that the reason why this area was so different from other areas - there was actually a small lake in the village of Tauren. In such a desolate environment, having a small lake could fully support a larger village.
Just like the Tauren cities that Aaron is familiar with: Thunder Bluff and Highmountain, the main building of Sun Rock Retreat is also a wooden house that looks like a totem pole.
There is an open door under the totem pole that is more than ten meters thick, and you can see many Taurens passing by. There are also many cabins nearby that can accommodate Taurens.
Seeing Magran coming back with the captured Tauren, the Taurens of Sun Rock Retreat gathered around and burst into cheers. After noticing that some of the captured Taurens did not come back with them, some Taurens became a little depressed.
These Tauren, who were accustomed to suffering, quickly adjusted their emotions and began to pack up the various foods collected by the team. Some of the beast meat was taken to the chef for processing, and the rest was hung up, seemingly intended to be dried into dried meat.
After noticing Aaron's gaze, Magran explained, "These foods are prepared for those compatriots who are still in Desolace. Life over there is really sad."
Although these Tauren left Desolace and came to the Stonetalon Mountains to open up a new home, they still miss their compatriots in their hometown. The food they collect will be sent back to Desolace regularly, which can also relieve some pressure on Tauren of Desolace.
In fact, there are many Tauren who left Desolace in order to open up new homes for their people. Unfortunately, the regional environment around Desolace is not very good. It is not easy for these Tauren who have left their hometowns to survive, and the help they can provide to their compatriots who stay in their hometowns is even more limited.
To the north of Desolace is Stonetalon Mountains, to the west is the sea, and to the east is the Barrens. Only Feralas in the south has a pretty good environment, but Centaur is old. The home is blocked on Tauren's way south, which means that although Tauren's life in Desolace is becoming more and more difficult, he still has nowhere to go and can only continue to silently endure the bullying of Centaur.
Just like Stonetalon Mountains, although this canyon can accommodate a larger population, it is absolutely impossible for Tauren to dissuade everyone from moving there.
Even though Tauren was pinned to the ground and beaten by Centaur for thousands of years, this ancient race still has a large population, which leaves them with very few options. At least Magran still can't see the way out for the entire Tauren race - if some ancient allies are still unwilling to provide assistance.
Aaron is interested in providing some help to Tauren. These big men with excellent physical fitness can be said to be excellent sources of infantry. It would definitely be a good thing if Tauren can be roped in before Horde comes to Kalimdor.
But Aaron cannot
This is different from the attack on Ulduar. If Aaron wants Alliance to assist Tauren, it needs to convince the bosses of the Alliance. Aaron has no confidence in this. It would be easier to find a way to kill Thrall who has not yet grown up.
It is precisely because of the many concerns in his heart that Aaron is not ready to say anything to Magran now. He just expressed that he wants to go to Desolace to investigate the problems in the land there, and hopes that Magran can provide some help.
Magran agreed wholeheartedly and wrote a letter on the spot, including the help Aaron provided them. By then, Aaron would be able to smoothly contact Tauren of Desolace.
In addition, Magran also arranged for several Tauren to bring the dried meat they had reserved before and send it to Desolace, who happened to be able to travel with Aaron and the others.
Carrying Magran's letter and following Aaron to Desolace was a Tauren named Tamra·Wasteland. Shaman, according to Magran's introduction, although Tamra is not old, his talent in the way of Shaman is very outstanding.
Originally, the team escorting the supplies required many Tauren to go together, and it was not very safe along the way, but Magran told Aaron that there was no need to worry about safety issues this time.
As for the reason, it is naturally related to the death of Bloodfeather Queen. Bloodfeather was previously entrenched in Charred Vale, the only place to go to Desolace. Now that Bloodfeather is dead, Harpy of Charred Vale should have fallen into chaos even if they have not dispersed.
The experience along the way also verified Magran's statement. Among the Charred Vale, Aaron and the others only saw some wandering Fire Elemental and a small number of Harpy. They easily solved the problem and did not encounter any decent threats until they left Charred Vale and set foot on the land of Desolace.
"I believe this area you are talking about is more desolate than Stonetalon Mountains." Vereesa stood at the exit of Charred Vale and whispered after being silent for a while.
"I feel like this land is wailing," Tamra slowly lowered his head and said sadly, "I chose to stay away from Desolace before because I couldn't bear this kind of torture."
