There is no doubt that Malfurion and Tyrande have completely different attitudes towards Illidan.
Among them, the latter regarded him as an infatuated pursuer, and even though he was imprisoned for ten thousand years, this strong feeling has not weakened.
Based on this alone, Tyrande will never have any feelings of disgust and hatred for Illidan.
After all, just as a man will never dislike having too many beauties pursuing him around him, a woman in her heart will never reject a spare tire who is both handsome, infatuated, and good enough.
So after she woke up her husband, she immediately thought of releasing Illidan and asking him to help her resist the invasion of the Burning Legion.
In contrast, Malfurion's feelings towards his biological brother were very complicated.
On the one hand, after seizing the supreme leadership of the night elf race, he repeatedly used his identity and status to protect Illidan.
Not to mention anything else, just for secretly creating a second Well of Eternity, under the political environment at that time, anyone else would have definitely been executed.
But what about Illidan?
He was just imprisoned.
You must know that night elves are immortal, so time is completely meaningless to them.
As long as you are alive, the future has infinite possibilities.
In addition, this guy's act of pretending to join the Burning Legion was not liquidated afterwards.
The fate of other highborne elves who collaborated with demons was completely different.
Therefore, the privileges of the ruling class can never disappear.
The idea that everyone is equal before the law is a complete joke.
It didn't happen before, it doesn't happen now, and it never will happen in the future.
What's more, the rather primitive parliamentary political system of the Night Elves cannot have strict laws and state machinery to enforce it.
On the other hand, Malfurion was also quite concerned about the fact that his younger brother had pursued Tyrande.
It can even be said to be the most irreconcilable conflict between the two brothers.
Compared with this, creating a second Well of Eternity without authorization and secretly learning forbidden arcane magic and fel magic are nothing worth mentioning.
This can be gleaned from the fact that Malfurion was furious when he learned of Tyrande's death, but immediately changed his face when he learned that Tyrande was still alive.
So whether he is imprisoned or exiled, he always has only one goal, which is to keep Illidan as far away from his wife as possible.
Otherwise, God knows if she had been immersed in the Emerald Dream for a long time, Tyrande would have gradually come together with her because of loneliness or long-term love.
After all, the social atmosphere of night elves is quite open when it comes to gender.
As for Illidan's "rebellious" brother, Malfurion never thought of killing him. From the beginning to the end, he kept suppressing him so that he could not become the leader of the night elves.
In addition, Filda Staghelm and Maiev Shadowsong are also participants in high-level power games.
Among them, Maiev Shadowsong almost replaced Tyrande as the leader of the night elf women in the War of the Ancients, and Fylda Staghelm has been openly criticizing and opposing Tyrande's attempt to replace her.
Unlike many people's impressions of peace and tranquility, the night elves have never been a fuel-efficient race.
The internal power struggle never stopped.
It's just that one of the couple controls the most powerful group of spellcasters in the tribe, the druids, and the other controls the priests and sentry troops.
Outsiders are obviously powerless to challenge this near-invincible political pairing.
In addition, the invasion of the Burning Legion reminded all night elves of the terrible catastrophe ten thousand years ago. Naturally, it was inevitable to unite under the two leaders like never before to prepare for the upcoming decisive battle.
Anyone who dares to cause trouble at this time will probably be labeled as a devil or a spy immediately.
Therefore, Mount Hyjal seems to be a united scene at the moment, and no one dares to jump out and sing the opposite at this time.
As ancient trees that are thousands of years old were placed on the only way to Mount Hyjal, military fortresses and fortresses rose one after another.
Especially those giants whose whole bodies are made of hard stone. Each one is comparable to the powerful Doom Guard and is one of the most powerful and reliable allies of the night elves.
In addition, those Chimeras that can spit magic attacks and corrosive acid can also reduce the number of demons at critical moments.
Due to their experience in the War of the Ancients, Malfurion and Tyrande knew exactly how to deal with the Burning Legion's attack.
Therefore, under their arrangement, even if Archimonde personally leads the team, it will still take a lot of effort to reach the World Tree.
However, what the two of them didn't know was that while they were intensively setting up their defenses, Illidan had already found the source of pollution - the Skull of Gul'dan - deep in Felwood.
This is a very ugly and ghastly looking orc skull, with green evil light constantly emitting from its eye sockets.
A group of satyrs who defected to the Burning Legion were guarding the skull placed on the altar.
Illidan, who was usually a man of few ruthless words, didn't even say a word of nonsense. He rushed forward and swung his war blade to tear apart the bodies of these fragile demonic creatures and burned them to death with fel flames.
For the most powerful demon hunters, numbers no longer mean anything.
Once he begins to sacrifice his mana, the terrifying high-temperature flames will wrap around his body, and even if he gets even slightly closer, he will feel the pain of his soul being burned.
So Illidan easily killed all the guards around the altar, even the two powerful Doom Guards.
But just when he was about to reach out and touch the skull that exuded astonishing power, he suddenly felt a powerful energy appearing out of thin air.
When he turned around, he saw that it was a human who looked very similar to Alsace.
Only this time it's not a dead person but a living person.
"Who are you?"
The demon hunter stopped his night elf warriors from attacking rashly. I
Because under his special vision, he can clearly see the shadow and death power contained in the opponent's body, as well as some kind of twisted life force that he has never seen before, as well as arcana, holy light, evil energy and other completely opposite powers.
energy properties.
This is obviously very unusual.
If an average person stored so much conflicting energy in their body, it would most likely explode from within.
But the sudden guy in front of him not only did not explode, but instead caused the energy of different attributes to form a perfect cycle in the body, constantly transforming and circulating into adjacent attributes.
"Hello, Illidan Stormrage. Although this is our first time meeting you, I have already heard about you."
Zuo Si said hello with a smile.
Although according to the original plan, he did not plan to show up at this time.
But he suddenly changed his mind after observing the Skull of Gul'dan.
Because after reading the Book of Medivh, Zuo Si realized that the Skull of Gul'dan was not only a part of the power, knowledge and memory left by a powerful warlock, but also his own soul, at least a very important part of his soul.
part.
Combined with the spells recorded in the Book of Medivh, this skull can even tear a crack in the face of the Titan's indestructible magical protection.
The opening and closing of the Dark Door again is the best proof.
And Ner'zhul also took advantage of this feature when he used it to find a new world suitable for habitation for the orcs who stayed in Draenor at the end of World War II.
This means that the Skull of Gul'dan may be very useful to Zuo Si.
"you know me?"
The demon hunter was obviously very surprised.
Because the last time he appeared in the public eye was just after the War of the Ancients 10,000 years ago.
Later, when he was imprisoned, even the internal records of the night elves downplayed it, so that many new generations have never heard of the name Illidan Stormrage, let alone knowing that Malfurion has a younger brother.
Normally, it is absolutely impossible for a new short-lived race like humans, which can only live for a hundred years, to know their own names.
Zuo Si undoubtedly noticed the other party's doubts, but he had no intention of explaining. Instead, he looked directly at the Skull of Gul'dan, feeling the energy emanating from it, and in an instant he confirmed that this thing must be related to the skull of Gul'dan.
The Dark Portal has a very close connection with the Burning Legion's cross-universe portal.
In other words, the fel magic obtained by Gul'dan may be the most comprehensive and complex among all warlocks, and it most likely comes directly from Kil'jaeden and Sargeras himself.
After all, the Legion was counting on him to break through the Titan's protection and open the portal connecting Draenor and Azeroth.
This also explains very well why Gul'dan knew about the Tomb of Sargeras and wanted to seize the remains of the Dark Titan inside so that he could get rid of his mortal identity and become as powerful as the other party.
From the very beginning, this orc, who was tricked by fate, never really intended to be loyal to the Burning Legion.
He simply wanted to gain strength and get rid of the past days of being humiliated, bullied and mistreated by other orcs all day long.
Whether it is Archimonde or Kil'jaeden, in Gul'dan's eyes they are objects that can be surpassed.
