Chapter 608 The Rise of the Forest Elves(2/3)
Many people even think that the leaders of the Bloodcap Trolls are just a bunch of idiots and idiots. Why do they mess with this group of friendly and peaceful humans when they are full and have nothing to do?
The other party did not invade the traditional hunting grounds of the trolls, but only established a settlement near the shore. The main scope of activities was limited to a radius of less than ten kilometers. The main food sources were farming, breeding and fishing.
Strictly speaking, there is no conflict of interest between the two parties, at least not yet at this stage.
But once the number of human immigrants reaches a certain level and they begin to expand their territory on a large scale, the situation may change.
Standing on the balcony of a three-story building made of wood, Zuo Si was looking down at the group of elves who had just filled their stomachs and were resting on the open ground, and asked without looking back: "How long will it take for them to fully accept it?"
New identity and obey your leadership?”
"It will take at least a week or even half a month. But if you are willing to do a little miracle, I think it will be much faster."
After putting on her clothes again, Calesia bent down and bowed deeply to give the exact deadline.
It is easy to see from the confidence on her face that today's success has made her fully aware that the seemingly powerful Gurubashi Troll in Stranglethorn Vale is much more fragile than it appears.
Especially after being defeated by the Zandalari trolls and losing their only belief in the blood god Hakkar, these divided and mutually hostile clans were completely in disarray.
Moreover, they are very superstitious and are easily attracted by mysterious and unknown powers and then form worship.
Within the Bloodcap Troll clan there are shamanic beliefs that worship elements, voodoo beliefs created by witch doctors, and beliefs in powerful animals.
Although many of the Loa are wild demigods in animal form, Kalesia is certain that they have never responded to the trolls of Stranglethorn Vale.
Whether it is Muhamba, the crocodile god who has been worshiped by the Bloodtop tribe for generations, Surkaru, the orangutan god who has only been believed in in recent decades, and Borgyan, the feline god who is a mixture of cheetah and tiger forms,
Everything is fabricated out of thin air.
There is no evidence that the above three wilderness and animal demigods actually existed.
So this kind of belief is simply animistic worship.
This means that there is no real god behind the Stranglethorn Trolls.
Therefore, the God of Contract she represents can form a crushing and huge advantage.
By then, in conjunction with the transformation of the elves, it won't take long to unify the entire Stranglethorn Valley, turn thousands of trolls into subjects under their rule, and eventually combine with human immigrants to build a powerful empire.
What's more, considering that humans are a short-lived race, and very few individuals can live more than seventy years old, it is only a matter of time before power finally falls into the hands of Calesia, the first-generation high priest.
She doesn't even need to do anything, just wait patiently for the first two or three generations of humankind's leaders to all age and die.
You must know that trolls have a completely different attitude towards faith than humans.
Especially for high-level priests, it is more of a disguised transaction than pure worship with the Loa god they serve.
The former strengthens the faith among trolls through a series of sacrificial activities, while the latter provides corresponding benefits to believers.
Some priests will even betray the gods they believe in, extract the god's power through some taboo methods, kill them, and then replace them themselves.
Therefore, in the concept of troll priests, they do not need to obey the will of God 100%, as long as they fulfill their own obligations in accordance with the contract.
As for the rest, whether it is fighting for power or enjoying the privileges brought by a high status, it belongs to one's own personal freedom, and even God cannot interfere.
In addition, once you become the supreme ruler of an empire, you can even be equal to the gods to a certain extent and reach cooperation and transactions on an equal footing.
Zuo Si could be said to be well aware of the inner thoughts of this ambitious priestess, but he did not expose it. Instead, he encouraged her meaningfully: "Well done, it seems I should give you some extra power."
As a reward, you can better lead these compatriots to step out of the shadow of the past and embrace a better future."
"Thank you for your generosity and kindness. I swear that I will not let you down."
As soon as she heard the word "power", Calesia's eyes suddenly lit up.
As a priest who can cast four-ring divine spells, she has fully realized how comprehensive and powerful the power of divine spells is. It is simply not comparable to the natural transformations granted by the Loa God before, and the very few healing and damage spells.
Therefore, this woman is very sure that the God of Contract in front of her is more powerful than any currently known Loa God.
Otherwise, she would not have abandoned the Eagle God she originally served - Ekilsund without hesitation.
"very good.
Now I grant you permission to use the Six Rings of Divine Magic.
Remember, your task is to reshape the thoughts, cognitions and values of these elves.
Gather their faith by having them fight against the trolls of the Bloodscalp clan.
In the days that follow, you must lead them to fight side by side with humans as you continue to transform more of your kind, until the trolls outside the city wall can no longer sustain the huge losses and completely collapse."
Zuo Si put forward demanding requirements straightforwardly.
He obviously knows how to create a completely new race in a short time.
It is even clearer that only in the face of a common threat can this group of elves transformed from trolls establish bonds of emotion and interest with human immigrants, and then integrate together and move towards civilization.
Instead of continuing to maintain the original life state and becoming a troll with the appearance of an elf.
"Understood! I promise to make you the only faith of all the forest elves and even the entire Stranglethorn Valley."
Feeling the large amount of magic that had appeared out of thin air in her mind, Calesia was immediately ecstatic, and hurriedly bowed again, then walked backwards out of the room, intending to take people with her under the cover of night to infiltrate into the Bloodtop Clan's camp and drop some transformations.
Potion.
Watching the priestess with her beautiful appearance and proud figure disappear into the vast night, Zuo Si pursed her lips and said to the princess of the Lordaeron royal family in the room: "I know you have been holding back a lot of questions.
If there is anything you don’t understand, you can start asking now.
After all, you can be the queen who will rule this land in the future, the only legitimate ruler recognized by all countries in the alliance.
If even you don’t understand the situation, the future of this country will be in jeopardy.”
Hearing these words, Caliya, who had always maintained her princess demeanor without saying a word, breathed a sigh of relief. She took out her handkerchief and wiped the sweat from the unfathomable ravine between her forehead, cheeks, neck and dress neckline, and then
Lift up your wet hair and let the sea breeze blow away the heat from your body.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! There is no way, the ambient temperature of Stranglethorn Valley, which is a tropical rainforest climate, is too high. Even at night, it is about 30 degrees Celsius, and it is stuffy and hot.
In addition, the long skirt and gown on her body were designed for the relatively cold climate of Lordaeron.
Although it is low-cut and open-backed to reflect the beautiful upper body, it is made of warm magic fabric and is sewn and cut.
Caliya's clothes, including her underwear, were already soaked through, and it was quite uncomfortable to stick to her skin.
If she hadn't brought a change of clothes, she would have stripped off immediately and took a cold shower, put on a fresh and breathable silk robe or skirt, and the leather boots and stockings on her feet were preferably replaced with vine-woven sandals.
Dressing like this will make you feel a little more comfortable in the hot climate of Stranglethorn Vale.
Fortunately, no matter what she thinks in her heart, Jialiya has been trained in royal etiquette. Even though her legs are dripping with sweat, she does not have the slightest disrespect to lift up her skirt to dissipate heat. Her fair face is also experiencing an increase in body temperature.
Her lower body became red and wet, and the translucent neckline was also full of endless reverie.
When her body temperature dropped slightly by two degrees and her brain calmed down and she regained her ability to think, she took a long breath and asked in a slightly puzzled tone: "I don't quite understand. You can obviously kill those trolls directly."
Transform them all into elves and directly resolve this war to avoid casualties, but why go to such trouble to let it continue?"
Zuo Si admired the unique style displayed by the Lordaeron princess with great interest, and explained with a smile: "It's very simple, because both humans and transformed elves need a war to fight for their lives.
Give value and purpose.
Man is a very strange creature.
Generally speaking, things that are easy to obtain are often not cherished too much, no matter how high their value is;
But something that has to be finally obtained after hard work, even an insignificant stone, will be regarded as a treasure.
The reason why the former is despised is that in the process of obtaining it, people do not pay any price when obtaining it, so it is not given subjective value.
The latter is subjectively given a higher value because people paid a huge price.
Therefore, the value of an item in people's eyes does not entirely depend on the wealth, power and status behind it, but also includes strong subjective emotions.
Many times the latter is the decisive factor in making a choice.
Maybe a copper ring that is only worth one or two silver coins in the eyes of outsiders, in the eyes of someone, represents the last thoughts left by a deceased lover. Even if you offer a hundred gold coins, he may not sell it.
Perhaps a shabby old house in the eyes of outsiders, in the heart of the owner, carries a lifetime of beautiful memories from childhood to old age. Even if you exchange it for a luxurious villa or even a manor, he will refuse without hesitation.
I need to let human refugees and transformed elves face war and death, and gain land and homes through their own hard work.
In this way, they will cherish their hard-won life, understand each other and establish common values.
There was once a saying like this in the hometown where I was born.
Only iron and blood, war and sacrifice can truly build a strong and persevering country.
And what I am doing now is to inject spirit and soul into this country that will take root and thrive in Stranglethorn Vale.
What's more, a low-intensity war like this can build a well-trained army and prepare it for the coming huge crisis."
"To give value to..."
Calia repeated a few key words in a low voice, and suddenly thought of the situation where the human kingdoms, which were originally scattered and even at risk of falling into civil war, quickly united to form an alliance to defend against foreign enemies after the invasion of the orcs.
Although after the orcs were completely defeated, the alliance soon fell into division again due to interest issues, but the common values that had been established did not disappear.
This is why the fleet commander of Kul Tiras, Dai Lin, had clearly announced his withdrawal from the alliance, but when he learned that the orcs had escaped from the shelter and snatched the ship, he immediately rushed over to help.
Knowing that the plague and undead were raging in the East Wild area of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, Dalaran immediately extended a helping hand and sent Jaina to form an investigation team.
It can be said that although the current alliance is divided on the surface, the broken bones are still connected.
In the original timeline, when Arthas, the first filial son of Azeroth, came back to kill his father and set off the Scourge of the Undead, the member states of the Alliance responded immediately and used all their resources to build a defense line to prevent the Scourge from moving south.
