For this quest, you have to kill 9 alliance laborers. But what the log doesn't tell you is that they are, bar none, one of the most obnoxious mobs you will come across in this entire game.
They will regularly throw a pair of boots at you that make this very cartoony bonking sound, but it knocks you down and interrupts your casting. They do it about every other second. This is kind of the quest from hell for casters, when paired with the other one that has you dropping cannisters around the area.

Edit for clarity: it isn't the boots that does the spell interrupt, it's this kung-fu kick. So there's just more to love about this quest and the follow-up.

This again?

What is it with Horde quests and attacking farmers, civilians and the like? I thought they cared about their honor or something?

Comment by 4dehorde

Name a Horde quest where it is speciffically required to kill civillians. Name one. As for this quest, these are soldiers acting as farmers. And even if they weren't they would still be giving food supplies to the Alliance war machine and be doing so in Forsaken territory.

Comment by 4dehorde

So somehow them being soldiers and getting food to the alliance forces makes them targets for war?

So what if a soldier retires, becomes a farmer, and sells food to the alliance army? Does that make him a perfectly viable target still? Might as well, then again the Forsaken are turning into the scourge anyways, so this should be expected.

The Alliance and the Horde are at war. Soldiers from both sides are expected to fight and die. So yes, soldiers in a warzone are eligible for death in battle.

This counts as a Western Plaguelands quest for the Western Plaguelands achievement and toward Loremaster

Also I noticed something very funny when completing this quest, I went over toward the farmhouses, and I had targeted a laborer, and he phased out as he went into the outhouse, and another laborer came out of the outhouse... thats like the third or fourth outhouse in the game lol...

And when my Shadow Bolt struck him square in the chest, the ninth Alliance Laborer fell... But not before he tossed up his pair of boots into the air. NO! Not again! Fear and disbelief filled my eyes as I watched the boots hurtle toward my head. How did he manage to take them off his feet so quickly? Or did he have an extra pair of boots that he always carried with him, ready to heave at any intruder who crossed his path? It didn't matter though. None of this mattered anymore.

I turned on my heel and ran. I ran until my muscles burned and my veins pumped battery acid. Then I ran some more. I chanced a look over my shoulder to see if gravity had got the better of the flying footwear... But there they were, still airborne. H-HOW? The boots change direction in mid-flight, following my every step... By what ungodly force are they able to defy natural law? And then I realize. These were no mere boots. They were demonic agents of Sargeras; the Destroyer of Worlds himself. There was no escape.

But there is a bit of distance between us. It's a gamble, but I might have enough time to summon my Felsteed and ride to safety. With haste but firm concentration, I exerted my entire being into reaching into the Nether to call my faithful mount to my rescue. I tremble with exhaustion, but force myself to finish the summoning. I must hurry! I... I hear galloping! My Felsteed has almost entered this plane! Maybe I can get away! Maybe I can actua---

*BONK!*

... The Holy Light has abandoned us all.

The quest tracking on this quest is currently bugged.
You will see the text going by the middle of the screen tracking your progress, but the quest log is not getting updated.

You can either just turn in the quest or you can log out and in again to update the quest status.

Ha ha! I hope that they come back as zombies.

The Forsaken military strategy, ladies and gentlemen.

Somehow I doubt the quest name is going to survive much longer

Foes Before Hoes

Kill 9 Alliance Laborers on Felstone Field.

	Alliance Laborer slain (9)

Description

The men who till Felstone Field are no farmers. They're soldiers.

Thassarian's forces needed food, so he sent some of the Alliance north from Andorhal, to tend Felstone Field. The battle for Andorhal may be over, but another battle looms... Forsaken versus human. Killing those soldiers that work at Felstone will give the Dark Lady's forces a decided advantage.
