The sudden changes on the battlefield of Mount Hyjal were naturally impossible to hide from the night elves who had been paying attention to the situation here.
In less than two days, a raptor druid transformed into an eagle and flew over the mountains of Kalimdor continent directly to the Dark Coast.
About a few minutes later, he appeared in front of Malfurion and Tyrande, the two leaders of the entire race, and described what he saw in concise language.
"Are you saying that the intensity of the fighting suddenly increased?"
Malfurion, who had originally planned to fall asleep again and return to the Emerald Dream, looked extremely surprised.
Because since the orcs were defeated, the Lich King and the main force of the Scourge suddenly disappeared in the northern continent of Northrend. He thought that Azeroth had once again overcome the crisis and returned to peace.
As for the battlefield at Mount Hyjal, the two sides should maintain a balance of power for a long time, so there is no need to worry too much.
After all, when there is only one terrible Burning Legion eyeing the world, it will be a terrible disaster for all living beings, but if another equally powerful force joins it, then you can relax a little.
At least until the two sides decide the winner, the native residents of Azeroth can develop boldly and accumulate strength with confidence.
The Raptor Druid nodded solemnly: "Yes.
Starting three days ago, the party calling itself New Phyrexia suddenly began to send a large number of troops to launch a fierce attack on the Burning Legion's defenses.
In just a few hours, the latter's defense line was riddled with holes.
I saw with my own eyes that countless high-ranking commanders like the Abyss Lord and the Dread Lord were killed and completed. Even the Doom Lord Kazzak was defeated by a giant beast covered with a hard metal carapace.
But later, the Burning Legion also began to continuously send troops through the portal, and even activated a powerful rune weapon, instantly razing the entire Mount Hyjal to the ground.
New Phyrexia suffered heavy losses, with more than 60% of its legion evaporated on the spot.
Right now, both sides are gathering strength and it looks like they are going to fight an unprecedented decisive battle.
I even saw Kil'jaeden the Deceiver."
"What? Kil'jaeden the Deceiver has arrived on Azeroth!"
Tyrande subconsciously clenched her fists, a deep fear flashing in her eyes.
Because no one knows the power and unfathomable evil wisdom of this legion deputy better than she, who participated in the ancient war ten thousand years ago.
The most important thing is that if Kil'jaeden appears in Azeroth, it means that there must be someone who can stand alongside him in the New Phyrexia camp.
Otherwise, given this guy's character, he would definitely not go to the front line in person. Instead, he would send capable subordinates to take charge of the war, while he would hide behind the scenes and plan new conspiracies.
Unlike Archimonde, the Deceiver never likes to engage in head-on battles with powerful enemies, but prefers to disintegrate them from within, or use other chess pieces to achieve their goals.
The same was true when the orcs were made to drink the blood of the Abyss Lord, and the same was true later when the Lich King was created to establish the Scourge.
"This is going to be troublesome."
Malfurion obviously realized the seriousness of the problem and began to think about what he should do.
You should know that there are only a few intelligent races settled in Kalimdor right now.
Among them, the night elves closest to Mount Hyjal are undoubtedly the first to bear the brunt and cannot avoid it.
Secondly, there are the tauren who migrated from the Desolate Land to the Mulgore Grassland, and thirdly, the human coalition that followed Jaina across the sea is building a new city of its own in Dustwallow Swamp - Theramore.
However, due to the appearance of Zuo Si, Jaina did not establish a so-called "friendship" with the orcs led by Thrall. Instead, after her father Dailin was killed, he led the alliance army to ruthlessly defeat him, and even executed him with his own hands.
Thrall avenges his father.
This means that not only did she not fall out with the maritime power of Kul Tiras, but she also became a hero of this country, successfully succeeded Daelin as king and marshal of the alliance, and is not staying in Kalimdor at the moment.
Instead, he returned to Boralus, the capital of his motherland, to assume the responsibility of being a king.
And because of her very close personal relationship with the Queen of Lordaeron, Calia Menethil, and her impressive record during the war, Jaina has been recognized and respected by other leaders of the Alliance.
In addition, the remaining ones were completely defeated, but were still allowed to survive in Azshara, the orcs and darkspear trolls, as well as a small number of ogres and a large number of centaurs.
Finally, there are the quilboars, harpies, and goblins who can't be counted on at all.
Of course, if the situation is really urgent, Malfurion can still ask the alliance member states in the eastern continent to send troops to form a coalition.
But the problem is that the current war has just passed, and all races are recuperating and busy licking their wounds.
It is obviously inappropriate to ask people to mobilize without confirming the situation.
"Dear, what do you think we should do now? Should we try to contact those outsiders? Or should we directly contact Queen Calia or Jaina and let them inquire about the situation on behalf of the alliance?"
Tyrande was obviously hesitant.
After all, the night elves have no direct contact with the New Phyrexia Legion stationed on Mount Hyjal.
"What are Illidan and Maiev Shadowsong doing these days?"
Malfurion suddenly mentioned his exiled brother.
Tyrande shook his head slightly: "Sorry, I'm not sure either.
Because the last time we met, Illidan told me that he was preparing an earth-shattering plan.
If successful, it may be possible to end the threat of the Burning Legion once and for all.
But he didn't say exactly what it was.
As for Maiev Shadowsong...
You know her relationship with me has never been good.
The only thing that is certain is that she took away almost all the Watcher troops and joined Illidan's team.
Why, you don’t think Illidan’s plan is related to this change, right?”
"It's hard to say. But I think he was definitely involved to some extent."
When saying these words, Malfurion obviously frowned.
The reason why he always dislikes his younger brother is that, on the one hand, the way of druidry naturally rejects demons, evil energy, and shadows, and on the other hand, Illidan never consults with him and always makes his own decisions that are misleading.
behavior style.
Of course, there is also the love for his wife Tyrande.
"Do you need me to go find him and ask him clearly?"
Tyrande asked in an uncertain tone.
Malfurion shook his head slightly: "No, no need. Because if Illidan is really deeply involved, then he will never tell you a word. What's more, do you think he can do something like this?
Right or left?"
"you mean……"
Tyrande raised her head sharply and looked into her husband's eyes.
"Well, yes, that god may be back."
Malfurion answered in the affirmative without thinking.
As these words came out of his mouth, the expressions of all the night elves' senior leaders in the entire hall changed.
They will never forget the figure who played with the Defiler Archimonde under the World Tree.
…
At the same time, far away in the Tomb of Sargeras in the Broken Islands, Illidan Stormrage, who had been secretly preparing for a long time, was standing in front of a huge green portal.
Behind him is the huge incarnation of the Dark Titan left in this world.
Especially the Eye of Sargeras, which has powerful runic power, can even easily destroy a continent through magic rituals.
These things are the "little gifts" that Illidan plans to take to Argus to give to the Burning Legion.
"Are you really ready?"
Maiev Shadowsong looked at the tall figure standing at the front of the team who looked like a demon and asked.
"Ah, of course I am ready. To be exact, I have been preparing for this day from the moment I became a demon hunter. Ending the Burning Legion, this is my mission."
When he said these words, Illidan's tone did not have any emotional fluctuations, as if he had repeated it thousands of times in his heart.
But he soon turned around and asked in a slightly playful tone: "You should know what risks this operation entails, right?
As the first commandos to enter Argus, there is a high probability that we may never come back.
My soul has already been transformed into a demon. Even if I die, I can be reborn. But once you and your people die, you are truly dead.
So if you want to quit now, it’s still too late.”
