The ancient Aqir Empire, after being defeated by the Great Empire of Zul, was divided into three parts:
The Qiraji in Silithus, the Nerubians in Northrend, and the Mantid in Pandaria.
The Nerubians still roam deep beneath Northrend, but have now returned to the command of the Old Gods Yogg-Saron, causing headaches for the Forsaken and the powerful figures of Northrend.
The Mantid are actually more terrifying than the Nerubians. Although they haven't sided with any of the Old Gods, they are still very difficult to deal with. However, with the Pandaren and the four August Celestials, there's not much to worry about.
Only the Qiraji, who pledged allegiance to the Old Gods N'Zoth, were transformed from the Aqir into the Qiraji. After more than ten thousand years of accumulation, they awakened and spread throughout the underground of Silithus.
A thousand years ago, the Night Elf, despite their best efforts and the aid of the four great Dragonflights, were still no match for the Qiraji. In the end, they could only pay a heavy price to seal the Qiraji south of the Scarab Wall.
Now, a thousand years have passed.
Although the Qiraji suffered heavy losses in the War of the Shifting Sands, a thousand years have passed, and they have probably fully recovered, perhaps even stronger than before.
Such a terrifying Zerg empire is beyond the current Night Elf, which is why they have no choice but to seek help from the Alliance and the Horde.
Without a doubt, the Alliance, the Horde, and the Night Elf, united as one, will surely be able to conquer the Qiraji Empire. But how many lives will be lost in such a massive war?
If we could bring along the Zandalari Trolls, the losses would be much less.
After all, the Troll had defeated the Zerg before, and the even more terrifying and powerful Aqir at that time.
Most Troll tribes have forgotten their former glory, and their magic, knowledge, and wisdom are no longer what they used to be, but the Zandalar Tribe is an exception.
This oldest tribe, inheriting ancient glory and wisdom, must have a way to fight against the Zerg.
If they were willing to lend a hand, then perhaps the Alliance, the Horde, and the Night Elf could conquer the Qiraji Empire at half the cost, or even less.
This is why Jiang Jie came here.
He had intended to contact the Zandalari Trolls through Vol'jin, but unexpectedly, he encountered the Zandalari Trolls instead.
Now that we've run into each other, it's much easier; why would we let them go?
" Qiraji?"
The three Zandalar priests exchanged glances, all seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
Zandalar is ultimately somewhat isolated, and only a very few people know that Cho'gall and Fandral Staghelm visited the Scarab Wall. Vol'jin also didn't tell them about the High Command meeting, so these three Zandalar priests were unaware of it either.
Qiraji?
How to deal with the Qiraji?
Weren't the Qiraji sealed behind the Scarab Wall?
The power of the Druid and Legion four Dragon Aspects is enough to keep any insect from leaving the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj.
So, why did the Grand Duke mention the Qiraji "?
The leading high priest stopped, turned around, bowed slightly to Jiang Jie to show sufficient respect, and then asked, "Grand Duke, is the Alliance preparing to attack the Ruins of Ahn'Qiraj?"
At the same time, he glanced at Vol'jin, clearly Vol'jin him for not telling him such an important matter.
Vol'jin sneered inwardly:
Do I need to tell you about the Alliance and Horde matters?
We respect you because you come from Zandalar and are a messenger sent by the Zul the Dark Prophet.
But in reality, in terms of status alone, you seem to be inferior to me!
Vol'jin sighed inwardly:
The Zandalar are the origin of Troll Troll, their spiritual leaders, and the most powerful Zandalar Tribe.
But what have the Zandalar Tribe done since the fall of the ancient Zul Empire?
Join forces with Lei Shen?
Supporting Zul'Aman?
Attack Zul'Gurub?
So many Troll tribes have fallen into decline, Troll numbers less than a tenth of what they once were. Is anyone caring about all of this?
Zandalar
A group of researchers hiding on an island, possessing vast knowledge and powerful voodoo magic, yet ignoring the decline of other tribes. If they had sent people to each tribe annually to ensure their survival, the Troll would likely have risen again several times over, instead of ending up in this predicament.
In reality, aside from nominal respect, the Zandalar Tribe had very weak control over the other tribes.
When the Zandalar called for action against the Atal'ai and Hakkar, Skullsplitter and Bloodscalp ignored them.
So why should I bother with it now?
Thinking about all this made Vol'jin feel much better.
" The Old Gods have awakened, the Twilight's Hammer roams freely, the seal on the Scarab Wall has been breached, and the world once again faces the threat of the Qiraji."
Jiang Jie said calmly, " The Alliance and the Horde, at Malfurion's call, have come to Theramore for the Leaders' Summit. Don't the Zandalari Trolls intend to do their part?"
Alliance and Horde gathered together?
Night Elf too?
A hint of surprise flashed in the old priest's eyes, then he quickly shook his head and said, "Grand Duke, I must go back and report this to the High Priest; it's not something I can decide on my own."
In reality, he was secretly delighted!
Troll and Zerg are indeed ancient enemies, but Night Elf and Zerg are also mortal enemies, as are Troll and Night Elf.
The Troll need time and opportunity to rise to power.
The Alliance and the Horde are joining forces to fight the Zerg – this is a golden opportunity!
The trolls knew all too well how terrifying the Troll were, and the old priests had also sensed it from ancient texts.
While the current Qiraji are certainly far inferior to the Aqir Empire of yesteryear, the combined strength of the Night Elf, the Alliance, and the Horde may not necessarily be stronger than that of the Great Empire of Zul of the past.
Defeating the Qiraji will undoubtedly require months of preparation and a long war that will deplete the manpower of both Alliance Alliance and Horde Horde, as well as waste their time.
In this situation, as long as the Zandalar Tribe can seize the opportunity, the rise of the Zandalar will not be difficult!
"Then please go back and report as soon as possible; you don't have much time left."
Jiang Jie said calmly, "If the Zandalar representative doesn't attend tomorrow's meeting, then to prevent the Zandalar Tribe from causing trouble while the Alliance and Horde are fighting the Qiraji, I might propose postponing the Qiraji war and forming a coalition to deal with the Zandalar first!"
What?
The old priest shuddered, unable to believe his ears. "Grand Duke, are you... threatening the Zandalar?"
"It's just a reminder. Tell my words to the Zul the Dark Prophet, and your king. I believe you have a way to contact them. I think they will make the right choice."
Jiang Jie looked up towards the northwest, the direction of Ahn'Qiraj: "The ruler of the Aqir Empire is merely the servant of the Old Gods, ' Kith'ix, ' while the one controlling the Qiraji now is the Old Gods N'Zoth! Heh, if the Alliance and the Horde... can you stop them? Do the Troll still have even a fifth of their former strength?"
Old Gods...
The old priest was just thinking to himself, "The Grand Duke is so arrogant, daring to threaten Zandalar."
You are strong, but how can you compare to the great Zul the Dark Prophet? How can you compare to the Zandalar, who possess countless Loa?
But now, he finally realizes:
Perhaps Jiang Jie's threat was just a joke, but the Qiraji's threat was definitely not a joke!
If the Alliance, the Horde, and the Night Elf truly cannot defeat the Qiraji, then the disgusting insectoids, supported by the Old Gods C'Thun, will expand wildly.
Those guys, as long as there's food, their numbers can increase tenfold in a month!
Even if the Dark Prophet and all the Loa sold out, even if all the Troll united, they probably wouldn't be able to fight back, right?
"Grand Duke, I'll contact the High Priest right away!" The old priest hurriedly left.
Jiang Jie smiled and turned to look at Vol'jin: "Well then, now it's time to talk about your matter. Bwonsamdi doesn't want to help you deal with Zalazane, does he? Or... Darkspear could leave the Horde and join my ranks, and I'll help you reclaim the Echo Isles?"
