With the restart of the Myth Drannor mythal, the entire city ruins and the entire surrounding area were once again shrouded in magical protection.
Since this is originally a powerful magic network node, it is essentially the same as the underground maze of the mad wizard Halaster Black Robe. Both can continuously draw energy from the magic network to achieve 24-hour uninterrupted spell effects.
One of the most famous and well-known puzzle effects is the city skyline that glows with a beautiful arcane light at all times of the day and night, and the magical creations called "Thyur Glass" in the windows that can be touched to make them appear or disappear.
This is a transparent material that is as strong as steel and can even be made into weapons, armor and shields.
But the prerequisite is that it can only be used within the range covered by the magic maze.
Once you leave, it will instantly turn into air and disappear into thin air.
In addition, the magic maze also weakens the plane barriers in this area, allowing spellcasters and even ordinary people to easily achieve long-distance and cross-plane teleportation.
Long ago, during the most prosperous period of the Kingdom of Cormanthor, a permanent portal was even built to the Feywild, the Demiplane of Dread, and the world of Krynn where the story of Dragonlance takes place.
The "Abarat Folly" portal connects to a tower on the edge of the Moon Sea, the "Warrior" portal connects to the Kingdom of Delimbian, the "Hall Node" portal connects to other elven kingdoms, the "Silver" portal goes directly to the Kingdom of Yeerlan, and the "Glory" portal leads to the Mir Forest on the border of Tethyr and Kalinshan.
Before the fall of Myth Drannor, this place was inhabited by a large number of elves, and even established many large and small countries.
To some extent, the Kingdom of Cormanthor was the leader of the entire elven race on the continent of Faerun except for the Isle of Evermeet for a long time.
Moreover, the areas covered by the maze will always maintain a temperature, environment and climate suitable for living, and will never suffer from extreme weather such as severe cold, scorching heat, drought, heavy rain, etc. Even storms and fires will be kept out.
Normally, creatures such as dark elves, orcs, dragons, gnolls, and goblins that are considered threats will instantly trigger their defense mechanisms and be forcibly expelled if they even approach.
In addition, people living in the city can also use a password to gain the ability to fly, completely prohibit the magic of a certain school from taking effect, or automatically cast various protective magic on a designated target, directly teleporting a person to a designated place...
In short, as perhaps the largest and most famous magical mystery in the continent of Faerun, the power of the Myth Drannor mystery is unquestionable.
Even some gods coveted it and sent their incarnations to try to seize control of it.
But now, this maze lock that was in decline has finally returned to the hands of its creator, Silinxi.
Just a moment!
The greatest of mortal wizards drove the fleeing monsters and drow out of the reach of Mys Drannor's magical puzzle.
And using the power of the maze, the damaged and abandoned houses and buildings in the city were directly repaired, clearing away a large amount of weeds, trees and vines, revealing their original magnificent appearance.
Especially the wizard tower that once belonged to Sirinxi herself, it is still exactly the same as when she left. Even the small magical creatures living in it, such as the elven dragons and pixies, are still alive and well.
Obviously, the dark army that destroyed everything back then failed to break into this wizard tower.
Moreover, inside the city, these elves from Evermeet also discovered a few hundred scattered remnants of the Kingdom of Cormanthor.
Among them were elves and half-elves, as well as a dwarf clan of more than one hundred people.
In short, after completely defeating the evil enemy entrenched in this dense forest, the next thing Sirinxi needs to do is to gather the population, and then recruit some people from Yongju Island to settle down and set up the framework of rule on the spot.
Once the cleanup and reconstruction work is completed, we will then find a way to restore the Kingdom of Cormanthor's former prosperity and strength through trade.
But before that, Silinxi still needs to resurrect the dead warriors.
After all, elves are not like humans. As long as there are enough women of childbearing age and some men, a large number of young and middle-aged labor forces can be raised again in 20 to 30 years at most.
It often takes them decades or even hundreds of years to give birth to a baby, so the value of a qualified warrior is far higher than the cost of using the resurrection magic.
According to the conclusion drawn from Zuo Si's research, male elves are actually no different from humans. They can make the opposite sex pregnant through mating anytime and anywhere.
But the menstrual cycle of elf women is extremely long, occurring only once every one or two years or two or three years, and the duration is also very short, so it is very easy to miss the best time.
This has resulted in their extremely low fertility rate.
On the contrary, there are quite a lot of half-elves born from the union of male elves and human females.
Currently, there are at least hundreds of thousands of them in the West Coast Empire alone.
Although not all of them are first generation half-elves, most of them still have quite obvious elven features.
Zuo Si has always felt that Corellon could choose one of the half-elves who believe in him and train him to become the god of half-elves.
In this way, the influence of the elves in the continent of Faerun can at least be raised to a higher level.
It’s a pity that this elven god only recognizes elves as his children.
Although there is no discrimination against half-elves, and they are even allowed to go to Evermeet to visit their parents and brothers, there has never been any attempt to include half-elves in their own pantheon over the years.
In other words, the focus of the entire elven kingdom of Arvandor has never been on Toril.
After all, not only is there a God Above Gods Io in charge here, but there is also a powerful deity, the Goddess of Magic, who is clearly superior to other gods.
So Corellon simply sent an avatar to stay in the Crystal Wall system for a long time to handle various daily affairs, respond to the prayers of priests and believers, and by the way, cause some trouble for the orc gods.
Although the elves have created many earth-shaking events since coming to Faerun, the elven gods are very low-key most of the time.
There was only a split during the Crown War, and then there was no movement.
Just as Zuo Si was thinking about the purpose of this powerful god showing his goodwill to him, Eilistraee suddenly broke the silence and asked with curious eyes: "What are you thinking about?"
Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders with a relaxed look and replied, "Nothing, I just think that with Weilun's personality, he shouldn't give up so easily.
If nothing unexpected happens, he should instruct those escaped believers to gather together, continue to unite with the forces of Zhentil Keep or Shade City, and try to compete with the elves for control of Cormanthor.
The subsequent multi-party game is the most critical.
Besides, your mother is not a good person either. You never know when she might make some big trouble.
So even though Evermeet won the war, it will take time and effort to restore the Kingdom of Cormanthor to its former glory."
Iristri nodded in agreement: "You are right.
Compared to the insidious but cowardly brother, the mother is the most terrifying enemy.
I don’t know why, but I’ve been feeling very nervous and uneasy lately.
Maybe mother is planning something terrible again.
If you notice anything please let me know.
In return, I will satisfy your thirst for artifacts, knowledge, and magic to the extent possible."
"No problem. If the Spider Queen makes any big moves, I will send the news to you as soon as possible."
Zuo Si agreed without hesitation.
Although both the mother and daughter of the gods are from the chaotic camp, from their current experience together, it seems that Eilistraee, who is quieter and more benevolent, is more suitable as an ally.
On the one hand, she originally had a close relationship with the Goddess of Magic and the Elf Goddess, and her background was incredibly strong.
To be honest, Zuo Si never quite understood why he did not seek help from the powerful allies behind him in the battle with the Spider Queen, but instead took huge risks to play tricks and schemes that he was least good at with the powerful Rose.
On the other hand, Rose's extremely chaotic, manic, paranoid and distorted behavior has violated his bottom line more than once.
This resentful woman's hatred and anger towards the elven pantheon has already reached the sky. She is basically either looking for trouble with Corellon or on her way to cause trouble for Corellon.
And it never stops, never gets tired, never forgives, and has absolutely no rationality at all.
Therefore, Zuo Si has always been very sure that even if the Spider Goddess is not an enemy that will never give up, she is at least an object that needs to be guarded against like the Goddess of the Night Shar.
This means that in order to prevent this guy from doing things behind her back, a buffer zone must be created around her.
Ilystraee is the perfect candidate for this buffer zone.
If necessary, Zuo Si would not even mind including Weiren, whom he had already offended, into the list of partners.
Anyway, as long as he could cause trouble for Rose, Zuo would secretly help her.
Especially with the upcoming battle with the Spider Queen, there is absolutely no reason to stay out of it.
You have to know that Furen is one of Zuo Si’s most important bases.
He would never allow the power he had worked so hard to build to be severely damaged or even completely destroyed by the actions of some lunatics.
As a person who likes to take the initiative, he will not wait until the other party does something to him before he realizes it and retaliates.
Instead, they will try to identify potential enemies in advance and then make a series of corresponding arrangements.
"Thank you. Working with you may be the best decision I have ever made."
After getting the answer she wanted, Iristri immediately raised the corners of her mouth and revealed a faint smile.
In terms of unscrupulousness and viciousness, she could never be a match for her mother and brother, so she was always at a disadvantage in the confrontation that lasted for tens of thousands of years.
Often they cannot even protect their own believers and temples.
But since joining forces, they not only gained a stable base of faith, but also almost never suffered from ambushes from the two.
Most importantly, Zuo Si’s evil tendencies are different from the traditional cold-blooded, brutal, and bloodthirsty nature, and will not touch the bottom line of most gods in the good camp.
On the contrary, his rational and calm calculation and utilitarian way of thinking can perfectly make up for the shortcomings of the good camp's general tendency towards idealism.
The best example of this is the West Coast Empire judicial system created together with the Church of the Three Holy Alliance.
Just like that, after a brief exchange, Iristri quickly left and returned to her own country.
Zuo Si himself was teleported back to Athkatla quietly, without even saying hello to the elves who had just won the victory and recaptured the city.
To be precise, apart from this family of three, no one knew that behind the war was actually a game between gods.
In particular, the counterattack launched by Rose's followers directly dealt a heavy blow to and even destroyed Velen's hundreds of years of hard work.
His largest group of believers on the continent of Faerun suffered more than 70% casualties almost overnight, and the rest collapsed and fled in all directions.
After learning the news, Shade City and Zhentil Keep immediately strengthened their vigilance against the elves from Evermeet.
They didn't think that these proud pointed-eared ones would become their allies.
However, the humans and half-elves who lived in the valley adjacent to Cormanthor were very happy to learn that Myth Drannor had returned to the hands of the elves. They immediately sent envoys hoping to establish a good friendship with it and conduct a series of trade exchanges.
After all, compared to the evil and cruel dark elves and countless monsters, the elves who generally tend to be kind are undoubtedly very good neighbors.
As long as you don't cut down too much forest they are generally very friendly and willing to help.
Some defenseless villages are even protected by elven patrols.
It is precisely because of this relatively friendly imagination that intelligent races such as humans, dwarves, gnomes, and halflings do not mind living under the rule of elves.
The Kingdom of Cormanthor relied on this method to unite various settlements bit by bit to form a country.
Although the elves are the dominant race, other races can also make their voices heard, and eventually a parliament will be formed to handle daily affairs and disagreements.
Especially in the valley, many of them originally escaped from Cormanthor, and they have an inexplicable attachment and sense of identity with Mith Dranor.
So it is not surprising that they would take the initiative to show goodwill to the elves of Evermeet Island.
The Kingdom of Cormyr was also happy about the restoration of Cormanthor.
Since this thousand-year-old feudal state was originally established with the support of the elves, both the royal family and the nobles maintained the minimum respect for the elves.
What's more, the reopening of the Myth Drannor mythal can greatly help the Kingdom of Cormyr share the threats from Shade and Zhentil Keep.
The two sides are natural allies in terms of interests.
As a result, a strange three-way balance of power was formed around the Anauroch Desert, the Moon Sea and the Dragon Lake.
They may constantly test each other and fight secretly, but they will never easily break the balance, otherwise they are likely to be besieged by the other two parties.
In this situation, even the Ghost City, which has many legendary spellcasters, has to seriously consider the consequences if it wants to take action.
After all, even the powerful creation of the Netheril era, the floating city, could not gain much advantage when facing the elves' magical maze.
After stabilizing the situation in Faerun, Zuo Si once again turned his attention to Azeroth.
At this moment, in the Felwood Forest on the continent of Kalimdor, the dreadlord Tichondrius is using the Skull of Gul'dan to release fel energy to completely corrupt the forest.
In just a few days, the originally clear river water turned a creepy green color. The hellfire that fell from the sky also smashed the lush forest into potholes. Many thousand-year-old trees were turned into black charcoal under the burning of the evil flames, and the earth turned a dark brown color that was even more serious than the corrosion caused by the plague.
As for other animals and plants, they were getting sick and dying in large numbers. The sky was shrouded in a grayish green fog, with occasional dazzling lightning and thunder falling from the sky.
It was a complete apocalyptic scene.
A large number of tree people who were corrupted by evil let out twisted and painful cries and violently attacked all creatures they encountered.
Countless demons and undead established forward bases here, preparing for the final battle to attack Mount Hyjal.
It goes without saying that the most important and exciting decisive battle of the Third World War is about to come.
At this moment, Illidan, who had just been released by Tyrande, has just arrived here with an army, intending to stop the enemy from further corroding the forest, in order to prove that he had only seized the power of the demons, rather than having his will controlled by the other side.
Of course, the main reason why he did this was his deep love for the former.
Maybe as the saying goes, what you can't get is always the best.
What's more, in addition to the attribute of "can't get", Tyrande now also has the attribute of "sister-in-law", which really makes the Tauren ecstatic.
It’s a pity that Tyrande’s martial power is a little bit high. If she wants to force her way into someone else’s heart, it’s simply because she’s tired of living.
So the only thing Illidan could do was to please the other party with his own performance.
In his eyes, saving the world from the invasion of the Burning Legion was not as important as changing Tyrande's mind.
So even though he was imprisoned in the dungeon by Maiev Shadowsong for ten thousand years, this love saint still had no regrets, and took on the most difficult task as soon as he came out.
Looking up at the sky and breathing the slightly smoky air, Illidan couldn't help but sigh: "After ten thousand years, I am finally free. But my brother still thinks I am a curse! I will show him my power through this mission, and show him that I control the demon instead of being controlled by the demon."
After saying that, the demon hunter subconsciously raised his hand and touched his black eye mask.
Although he dug out his own eyes, he was not blind as many believed, but instead had replaced optical vision with magical perception.
In the two holes filled with fel energy, Illidan could clearly feel the ever-changing rotating energy. The bright and dazzling colors almost made him lose his mind the first time.
After you get used to it, these colors will form various specific images, which are much sharper and more subtle than the optical vision that was easily deceived before.
There is no doubt that this is a gift bestowed upon him by the dark Titan Sargeras. It is with this demonic vision that Illidan can easily see through the disguises of demons such as dreadlords and succubi, and whether a person's body is corroded by shadows or fel energy. He will never be deceived by illusions or blocked by obstacles.
Just as he was about to order his night elf troops to set up camp and establish a forward base, he suddenly felt a gray-white figure flash through the woods.
The next second...
Arthas, carrying Frostmourne, rode out slowly on the skeleton horse Invincible and asked in a slightly amusing tone: "Are you sure, Illidan Stormrage? Can you guarantee that your will is 100% your own?"
"A dead man? Are you also an accomplice of the devil?"
Illidan raised his chin proudly and drew the battle blade behind his back.
As a powerful mage and demon hunter, he had hunted countless Burning Legion demons in the War of the Ancients, so he did not take the Death Knight in front of him seriously.
So he has enough capital to be proud of.
"Accomplice? Maybe. But we have our own plan." Arthas responded meaningfully.
He had obviously obtained a considerable amount of information from Kel'Thuzad and understood who this man who had obviously gained some demonic powers was.
"Humph! I don't care about your plans, and I will make you regret showing up in front of me."
As the last word came out of his mouth, the demon hunter suddenly took the lead in launching an attack.
He cast an unknown spell and instantly crossed a distance of dozens of meters to appear behind the Death Knight, brandishing both blades and intending to tear this ignorant guy into pieces.
尤其是附着在刀刃上的邪能火光，绝对能够融化撕裂萨隆邪铁打造的装备。
可阿尔萨斯也不是吃素的，反手用霜之哀伤招架住了对方的攻击，然后猛然间释放出刺骨的冰霜，愣是将战刃的邪能火焰给扑灭了。
等做完这一切，他才冷笑着回应道：“后悔？我可不觉得你有能力做到这一点。毕竟在实力上，我们应该是势均力敌才对。”
“你以为你可以与我势均力敌？天真！我所经历的战斗你根本无法想象！”
伊利丹嘴角上扬露出了嘲讽意味十足的笑容，猛然间从身体里释放出更强大的邪能火焰，直接把霜之哀伤所散发出来的寒意给蒸发殆尽。
随后恶魔猎手和死亡骑士展开了一场激烈的战斗。
其中前者的风格走的是纯粹的敏捷路线，速度经常会快到让人连残影都看不清楚。
而且恶魔之力赋予了其强大的力量、敏捷和耐力，就如同一台不知疲倦的杀戮机器。
后者在神器的加持下也不是吃素的，每一次挥剑都会释放出刺骨的寒意来尝试着冻结对手。
换成一般人，面对霜之哀伤所释放出来的超低温恐怕还真没有什么太好的办法。
毕竟连手持灰烬使者的提里奥·佛丁都被冻结过，更不用提其他人了。
但伊利丹显然是个例外。
那动辄几千上万摄氏度的邪能火焰足以瞬间蒸发神器所释放出来的寒意。
因此这场战斗最终变成了纯粹的武艺比试。
更离谱的是，年仅二十岁出头的阿尔萨斯居然能跟活了一万多年的伊利丹·怒风打得难解难分，由此可见他在这方面的天赋究竟有多高。
如果当初没有选择走圣骑士的道路，而是继续在战士这条路上走下去，恐怕整个东部大陆根本没有人会是这位洛丹伦王子的对手。
两人从日出一直打到日落，最终发现谁也奈何不了谁。
伊利丹显然十分惊讶一个死人能够拥有如此强大的力量，率先停下手说道：“只要愿意，我们可以一直这样打下去，直至其中一方出现失误。不过我觉得没有必要再这样浪费时间了！告诉我你究竟想要干什么？”
“我只是来告诉你一些必要的信息。
指挥这支亡灵和恶魔大军的恐惧魔王叫做提克迪奥斯。
他手里有一件强大的神器——古尔丹之颅。
那是有史以来最强大的术士古尔丹在临死前遗留下来的东西，充斥着禁忌的知识与邪能。
眼下这片森林正在遭受腐蚀，就是源自于这件东西的力量。”
阿尔萨斯直截了当把所有的信息全盘托出。
尽管他还在名义上服从提克迪奥斯与燃烧军团的命令，可实际上已经开始私下里不断地搞小动作，等待阿克蒙德在这个世界遭遇史无前例的惨败。
那样一来，巫妖王耐奥祖就能趁机摆脱军团的控制重获自由。
“你希望我能拿到古尔丹之颅？为什么？你难道不是在为军团效力吗？”
伊利丹显然是个十分多疑的人，并没有完全相信对方的说辞。
“理由很简单。
我和我的主人可以从燃烧军团的失败中获得好处。
所以我们虽然表面上仍然是敌对关系，但私下里完全可以成为盟友。
最重要的是，主人预测到了一切，知道你毕生都在追求强大的力量。
而古尔丹之颅的力量可以帮助你更上一层楼。
只要你得到它，就能从中获取到可以轻松击败提克迪奥斯的力量。
总之言尽于此。
是否要听从还得取决于你自己。”
说完这句话，阿尔萨斯立刻调转马头快速疾驰，大概十几秒钟便消失的无影无踪。
“古尔丹之颅……”
伊利丹默念着这件神器的名字，眼罩上闪过两道绿色的幽光。
……
与此同时，格罗姆·地狱咆哮和他所率领的战歌氏族也进入到费伍德森林之中。
由于早已在德拉诺世界目睹过天崩地裂的景象，尤其是影月谷那四分五裂的大地，因此他并没与表现出什么太过于紧张激动的情绪，反倒是在这片土地上猎杀恶魔来满足整个氏族强烈的嗜血欲望。
不仅如此！
这群血兽人还抢占了一座萨特修筑的堡垒作为临时基地。
尽管对于主人命令自己来到这个地方投靠一名叫做伊利丹·怒风的暗夜精灵感到疑惑，但格罗姆还是选择了服从。
因为他根本没有选择和讨价还价的余地。
“酋长，我们的斥候发现了一支暗夜精灵的部队。”
一名狼骑兵队长径直从外面走进门来大声汇报情况。
“哦？他们有多少人？”
格罗姆抬起头眼睛里闪烁着骇人的光芒。
骑兵队长不加思索的回答：“至少八千人。看样子，他们是来解决费伍德森林被污染的问题。我觉得伊利丹·怒风肯定在其中。”
“很好！给我盯紧他们。无论如何都不让伊利丹·怒风跑了。另外，我也想见识一下这个能被主人看重的家伙究竟有什么本事。”
在说这番话的时候，格罗姆语气中透露出强烈的挑衅意味，明显打算亲自试试恶魔猎手的斤两。
毕竟就算有左思的命令，他也不会轻易臣服于一名弱者。
“明白。不过提克迪奥斯那边怎么办？这个讨厌的恐惧魔王整在借助古尔丹之颅的力量不断侵蚀大地，用不了多久正片森林都会因此而枯萎死亡。”
骑兵队长的脸色明显有些担忧。
毕竟他们也是没有稳定食物来源，如果这片土地的鲜活生命死光了，很容易因为喝不到足够的鲜血而陷入狂乱。
“主人说过，这件事情不用我们操心，等着看戏就行了。”
格罗姆不耐烦的挥了挥手示意骑兵队长退下。
等后者彻底走远后，他才站起身恭恭敬敬向一面随身携带的镜子鞠了一躬。
透过要塞内昏暗的光线，依稀可看到镜子另外一边正是左思本人。
此刻的他显然已经返回了东部王国，正在帮助联盟粉碎燃烧军团和天灾军团的双重入侵。
“主人，我们似乎已经找到伊利丹·怒风了，请问下一步应该怎么办？”
格罗姆·地狱咆哮一脸恭敬的请示道。
“哦？伊利丹这么快就被放出来了吗？”
左思摸着下巴露出若有所思的表情，紧跟着迅速吩咐道：“你们继续待在那里，等他遭到玛法里奥和泰兰德放逐后再主动现身示好，然后主动加入成为第一批追随者。记住，不要过早也不要太晚，我可不希望看到你们又跟暗夜精灵爆发冲突。”
“如您所愿。
不过主人，与一个问题始终困扰着我。
当初为什么不让我直接采取强制数段把整个部落全部变成血兽人或者血巨魔呢？ 那样的话，您现在就能拥有一支战无不胜的大军。
另外，这个伊利丹究竟有什么特别之处，竟然值得您如此看重。”
格罗姆小心翼翼的询问，那卑微谨慎的态度足以让所有见过他平日里嗜血暴躁模样的人感到震惊和难以置信。
“不该问的别问，你只要扮演好自己的角色即可。记住，阿克蒙德向海加尔山发起总攻的日子马上就要降临了，千万别在这种时候出岔子。“
伴随着最后一个字脱口而出，左思主动掐断了与战歌氏族的联系，继续透过水晶球观察在艾萨拉定居的部落，尤其是萨尔最近一段时间的变化。
随着生理结构的改变和强烈的嗜血冲动，这位“世界萨”俨然已经失去了原本强大的元素亲和力，各种自然法术能力正在变得越来越虚弱。
但取而代之的是强大的心灵法术和血魔法。
很显然，他正在逐渐朝着自己最厌恶、最鄙视的方向发展，就好像以前统治旧部落的暗影议会术士一样。
并且与左思预料中的一样，萨尔终究是没忍住把身边的亲信全部转化成和自己一样的血兽人，并以此为根基来掌控军队、建设新的制度与体系。
也正是因为有这些实力强大的血兽人，所以在与娜迦的战斗中才没有承受太大的损失。
可问题是萨尔之所以能够成为大酋长，究其根源就在于他萨满祭司这一精神领袖的独特身份。
当元素之力逐渐消失无法再给战士们的武器赐福、为伤员进行治疗，萨尔根本无法想象自己还能否赢得那些氏族酋长的支持。
更要命的是，就连毁灭之锤的威力都开始直线下降，甚至是排斥这个离经叛道的使用者。
越来越多的迹象表明，失去萨满祭司这个身份之后的麻烦会超乎想象。
“伊崔格，根据探子的回报，那些恶魔正在朝着海加尔山的方向前进，人类和牛头人联军也同样如此。你觉得这一次我们应该加入哪一边？又或者继续保持中立等待最佳时机？”
萨尔扶着额头明显似乎有些心力交瘁。
He has been under so much stress lately that he suffers from insomnia almost every night.
However, what Thrall didn't know was that his compatriot, who had been drained of all his blood and died when he had just completed his transformation, had now been completely resurrected as an undead and was still under Zuo Si's control.
Once this matter is exposed, the angry orcs will attack in groups.
By then, he will turn from a hero into a rat in a matter of minutes.
Eitrigg smiled bitterly and replied, “I can’t give you any good advice right now.
After all, Grom and his Warsong clan are still alive.
Fierce conflict or even war with the night elves may break out at any time.
With them around, it is extremely difficult to change the world's inherent impression of us.
But I personally prefer to join the coalition.
The Burning Legion is too powerful and doesn't care about our lives at all.
If you join them, you will most likely be used as cannon fodder.
In contrast, although we have fought wars with humans, they did not kill us after winning. Instead, they set up shelters to provide us with food.
This alone is enough to prove that they are much stronger than demons.
So if you want to participate in the exhibition, the coalition is your only choice."
"But what if the man who is hostile to orcs doesn't allow us to join?"
Sal asked the most crucial question.
Eitrigg patiently explained, "Whether he allows it or not, we must take practical actions to reach reconciliation with as many races as possible. Whether it's an apology or compensation, we must clearly express our attitude and position. Only by reducing the hostility of the other side can we get a chance to breathe after the war."
"You mean... to bypass him and contact the night elves directly and explain the situation?"
Thrall's eyes lit up slightly, obviously realizing the brilliance of this strategy.
"That's right. Obtaining the forgiveness of the night elves is our only living chess move at the moment. I can go to contact them as an envoy and see how they will react."
Eitrigg volunteered to take on this dangerous task.
After all, Grom Earthroar and the Warsong Clan had just killed Cenarius, the most important ally and mentor of the other party, and burned the forest and killed a large number of wild animals. The blood feud must be deep.
But if the envoy is sent out at this time, there is a high probability that he will be captured and beheaded to commemorate the dead or to vent his anger.
"Okay! Then I'll leave this matter entirely to you. Be careful, I don't want to hear that you were killed as an enemy."
After saying this, Thrall opened his arms and gave the other person a bear hug, and patted the experienced advisor's back hard.
They all knew that there was a high probability that this separation would be the last time they met in this life.
Eitrigg pretended to be carefree and said self-deprecatingly: "I have survived alone in the wilderness and the human world for many years, and I know how to protect myself. Besides, if I die at my age, it's nothing to be sad about. On the contrary, you must pay attention to the time and don't miss this war that concerns the fate of the entire world."
"Don't worry, I will never let you down."
Thrall made a solemn promise.
At this point, the only thing he could do was to take a gamble since he didn't have many chips in hand.
While the orcs were doing their best to get out of their current embarrassing situation, Malfurion and Tyrande had already begun to build an all-round three-dimensional defense system around the World Tree and the Well of Eternity in order to delay the enemy's advance and buy enough time for the traps to take effect.
I have to say, it's really weird that this couple has only seen each other a few times in ten thousand years.
Especially since there is a younger brother who also likes Tyrande, Malfurion, who is away from home all year round, always feels a little jealous.
Fortunately, although the two of them rarely had physical confrontations, they could often meet in the Emerald Dream when they slept at night, so they did not feel unfamiliar with each other.
"Honey, are you still worried about Illidan?"
Tyrande took the initiative to break the silence and asked her husband who was worried.
Malfurion sighed helplessly, "Alas - how can I not worry? Don't forget, Illidan betrayed us once during the War of the Ancients ten thousand years ago, and even gained the power of the devil. This is something we absolutely cannot tolerate."
"You are too nervous. It is true that Illidan desires great power, but he is also our relative and friend. Without his help, we would not have been able to drive out the Burning Legion in the War of the Ancients ten thousand years ago."
It is very rare for Tyrande to defend her "dog".
But Malfurion retorted: "No, my dear, Illidan is not as simple as you think. Just wait and see, if you continue to indulge him, he will sooner or later cause big trouble..."
