Chapter 24: The Prelude to the Decisive Battle

"Oh, you've been a diligent lately, Deerhelm. Aren't you appointed to military power by that stupid woman of Tyrande?

This is a gloomy voice sounding on the tender green lawn under a magnificent starry sky. The owner of the voice distorted the air as if he had stepped out of the void, causing a fluctuation in the originally pleasant landscape, through which a glimpse of a red, scorched, viscous, polluted indescribable thing.

"Tyrande has taken back power...... That's not what I'm trying to say, don't you think you've torn illusions too many times? Vandal didn't reply, and continued to crouch under an ancient tree, tossing something.

"Hahaha...... If this kind of God-given opportunity is not grasped properly, won't the great master's long-cherished wish be wasted for many more years? The Emerald Dream Realm doesn't even have a giant dragon except Ysera and her daughter Merinthala! Originally, I thought that we wouldn't have a chance to do it again in 100 years, but the Burning Legion is really a good helper! These stupid green dragons only won a small victory, did they really think that the nightmare would be over like this? Hmph, hum, hum......"

"Don't you think that the night elves' defenses have been weakened to a very low level now, and if Akmund absorbs the power of the World Tree, your master will have nothing......" Vandal finished his work, he stood up and turned to look at the king of Satyre, "To be honest, I still don't believe you, but I have to say that the 'allies' you have found are really going to pick the right time." ”

"Don't worry, as long as you corrupt the Emerald Dream, your son will be able to resurrect, and the power of the great master is simply beyond your imagination!" Savis said firmly, "And it is enough to do this, with those green dragons to help deal with the Burning Legion, Akmund will not be so easy." ”

Vandal still stared at Savis with a blank face, but walked in the direction of the next ancient tree in a dejected manner, saying as he went, "I hope so...... What are you going to do this adventure to enter the uncorrupted Emerald Dream Realm with your main body?"

"Don't be so nervous, I just want to see my 'old friend', after all, he is your mentor, I wonder if you can deal with him ruthlessly? ”

"We said okay, it's my business to deal with those druids, it's your business to pollute the Emerald Dream, and I'm starting to wonder if the resurrection you promised is real. ”

Savis knew that Vandal was a little distrustful, and he also had some intention of waiting for the price to sell. This is normal, after all, he has not seen the power of the great master, and the master really wants to use this fool to weaken the guardians of Azeroth, tear the barrier of the Emerald Dream Realm, and thus directly affect the real world, the master can get countless armies and believers out of thin air, and when the time comes, as long as the seal left by the Titans is loosened to a certain extent, it is time for the great master to re-enter this world!

"Don't worry, it's just to resurrect a Night Elf, as long as you do things seriously for your master, this kind of thing can easily be achieved for you. We just have to wait for the Nightmare to corrupt now, don't worry, you know, it's a long process. ”

"Hmph, I've been waiting for so many years, and I still care about waiting a little longer? It's just you...... If you find out that you are lying to me, you will not have a chance to see the great deeds of your great master. ”

"Hahaha, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you're still so humorous. ”

Savis laughed wildly, he didn't notice that Vandal's eyes were getting colder and colder......

......

Ash Valley.

Since Tyrande's news for help made waves again, the top brass of the coalition forces can no longer sit still. After quickly unifying the forces of the tribe that were still able to fight, there was a new problem in front of the coalition forces, how to quickly break through the blockade and blockade of the outer demons, and directly enter the defense system of Mount Hyjal.

So now everyone is at a loss for what to discuss.

"You don't have any secret passages that will allow our army to bypass the demons and enter Mount Hyjal?" Edran asked, nonchalant.

This is not the time to take care of the other party's secrets, the fire is burning the eyebrows, how can you take care of so much, if the secret things continue to be hidden, when Akmund really gets the World Tree, it will really become something that no one knows.

"As far as I know, there are several secret passages that are spacious enough to accommodate troops in tens of thousands, and they are also engraved with our special teleportation circles, only a very few people are qualified to activate them, and their use cycle is 1000 years, and that special circle must pass 1000 years in the supply of moonlight energy before it can continue to be used. Therefore, it is difficult to say that these secret passages have not been opened in the current environment, and their distribution is relatively scattered, which is not conducive to us trying them one by one. Ma Wei also knew that this was not the time to hide, so he simply made this information public.

"And what do you know? "Adlan turned to Illidan, it was obvious that Illidan's identity was a bit special, and it was understandable that he had access to some core secrets, but he had been imprisoned for 10,000 years, and what was the defense system of Mount Hyjal at that time, and what was the difference between it and the previous ones, I'm afraid Illidan's help was relatively small. But Edlan still asked with the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, in case he asked for a name.

"Huh, Illidan?" Seeing Illidan not speak for a long time, Edlan wondered.

"I ...... I have an urgent mission to do, but I can help you determine the spatial coordinates of Mount Hyjal. Illidan was visibly distracted.

Distracted? Or ...... No, it's not like Illidan's style.

Edlan took a closer look at Illidan and found that he looked a little weak, obviously he was so strong just now, because there were sequelae of forcibly absorbing demonic power?And the sudden sense of urgency between his eyebrows made everyone wonder, and what was the "urgent mission" that Illidan was talking about? Everyone is a little baffled, and there doesn't seem to be a quick way for the night elves to communicate with each other except for the transparent owl communication between the sentinels, or when the Emerald Dream is stable, the druids can quickly enter through sleep to complete the exchange of information in the Emerald Dream and then exit the dream, but now the Emerald Dream doesn't know what is going on

It is clear that the law is no longer advisable.

So why did Illidan say such things all of a sudden, and where did the urgent mission come from?

Among the people present, only Mavi looked thoughtfully at this guy who was now deeply demonized. As for Edlan, he secretly "pinched his fingers", well, it was almost Illidan's mission to find the Eye of Sargeras and use it to kill the Lich King. The demon is not stupid, he knows that Naozu wants to betray, so Illidan, who suddenly gained great power, becomes the best candidate, and as for the death of Manolos and Tikdios?

Whoever dares to betray the legion will die. This is the demon's current punishment for Neozu, bombarding the Ice Throne with the powerful power of the Eye of Sargeras, slamming the Northrend continental shelf, and hastening the collapse of Azeroth after Akmund obtained the power of the World Tree. This is supposed to be the outline of the stage play written by Sargeras. The starring role is naturally Akmund, but what everyone didn't expect was that the second protagonist was none other than Illidan Fury.

Edlan didn't know much about the composition of the Burning Legion, nor did he understand Sargeras's thoughts, wouldn't it be a better choice for Nazreim, who were already part of the Burning Legion, and there were also many high-level demons who were summoned to Azeroth with Akmund, such as the Abyss Lords Manolos and Azgalor, the Doomsday Guardian Lord Kazloga, and several high-level Dreadlords such as Tikdios and Anatheron.

But perhaps, these are all men under the command of Akmund, and Sargeras can't command them, or is the factional struggle in the Burning Legion getting more and more intense? So Sargeras wants to bring Illidan as the new right-hand man to clamp down on the growing Akmund and Kilgardan?

Crassus's words interrupted Adlan's thoughts, and he asked, "Can you still provide spatial coordinates?"

Illidan sneered, "I used to be one of the mage leaders of the Moon Guard, how could I not know the knowledge of magic. ”

Tsk, look at the protagonist of the native Azeroth, one person played three professions, although the first two were not deep enough, but Illidan did play magic, that is, because he was denied by Cenarius in the way of the druids as inferior to his brother, he ran to be a moon guard, and also used magic to fight demons, and finally felt that this kind of power alone was not enough, so he sacrificed his eyes to Sargeras in exchange for demonic power, and now he is about to create a demon hunter profession after absorbing Manolos, probably after the completion of the task of using the eye of Sargeras to get Naozu......

Edlan was envious and jealous, and thought sourly, if Illidan had been baptized and infused with energy by Zela, the Mother of Light, it would be a fourth class!

Now that we have spatial coordinates, all that's left is the question of how to teleport the army there. "Valastaz is already a little bit geared up.

"Wait a minute, there is no barrier in such an important place as Nodashir that prohibits teleportation?" asked Kael'thas asked, because the Well of the Sun palace complex had been set up, and it was not possible to enter directly through teleportation from the outside, and it was necessary to go through the main entrance. But he thought about it, now that Mount Hyjal had begun to fight, it was estimated that those prohibitions on space spells had already expired, right?

"If Tyrande's information is correct, the demon has torn apart the ban on Mount Hyjal, not only can teleportation spells be used, but flying units can also move freely after destroying the forbidden space, the situation is much worse than you think. Illidan summed up his speech.

When Illidan said this, everyone understood that under normal circumstances, it would not be possible to attack Mount Hyjal by teleportation and air, but if some nodes were directly destroyed by ground pushing, it was like Quel'Salas's magical defense barrier, turning off or destroying the rune stones that provided energy, and if there was a problem with the protection, then the chain reaction would be huge.

But in the same way, after knowing that there is a problem with the original defense facilities, the defender will definitely make some kind of protective measures in a targeted manner, such as if the forbidden air field is gone, the air force of the demons and the undead can indeed move freely, but the air force of the defender can also be dispatched, plus the night elves' force air ability is also so strong that they have no friends, so it is estimated that even if the forbidden air field is broken, Akmund will not waste his air force on meaningless raids, right?

Of course, Akmund probably didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble and waste, he was very restrained by the Nordasir World Tree right in front of him, and did not use his great magic power to directly climb the mountain, Akmund chose the safest and slowest way to let the ground troops advance slowly to attack. Even if the terrain of Mount Hyjal is dangerous and it is difficult to attack from the back, the undead and demons do not lack the most important thing is numbers, and they will not be afraid of the death of a large number of soldiers, they only need to obey the order to attack.

After all, it's already at your fingertips, and it's not good to have some accidents at this time. It is true that Akmund could easily climb up from the base of Mount Hyjal, jump on it or even fly it, but he can guarantee that the old opponents of the War of the Ancients will definitely be waiting for him above!

Ever since the last time the Burning Legion's invasion fell short due to the insidious actions of mortals, Akmund had been wary of those guys. He thinks that in the past 10,000 years, the Burning Legion has grown and grown, and those mortals and guardian dragons must have also grown, so they can't be measured according to the previous model.

And the army of demons and undead is very large and powerful, just push it directly, and waste all the traps and killing moves prepared for him by mortals on those incompetent reptiles? Akmund can easily go out at the end, kill all the Night Elves who have lost their trump cards and killer skills, and then calmly absorb the power of the World Tree.

So in Akmund's thoughts, after the defenses of Mount Hyjal were breached, it was now safer. Although the Night Elves and the coalition forces don't know why, it is necessary to reinforce Mount Hyjal as soon as possible.

"Then you still ......"

Faced with Mavi's question, Illidan stubbornly said: "I must go, this is my fate, if we are lucky, we can directly reduce the threat of the undead to the lowest point, and the rest is to concentrate on dealing with demons." ”

"Then I'll go with you...... No, I have to follow you, I'm your warden, you're my prisoner!"

I have to make it clear to you first, my operation is very dangerous, nine deaths, you ......"

"Then I'm going to go!"

"Tsk, whatever you want, madwoman. ”

Tsk, Illidan is really a standard protagonist aura, and he is "chased" by Mavi while being unclear with Tyrande. How can Mavi in this world look at the composition of tsundere has changed a lot, the original "history" is 90% proud, 10% coquettish, and now it feels like 50% to half, this level of tsundere is really great! It's just a pity, in Mavi's eyes, Edlan is just a little brother of another race, it's a pity.

And now this Mavi no longer seems to be trying to make a life-and-death deal with Illidan in the tomb of Sargeras, I'm afraid it's a sincere cooperation! Edlan is becoming more and more unable to understand the development of this parallel world, how long can his biggest advantage as a traverser last? He hopes to bring him greater benefits.

"Alright, friends, let's start researching how to use a spell to teleport an army of nearly 40,000 men into a mountain peak just 1,300 kilometers away in a straight line, and make sure we can find a large enough place to be safe. ”

"The number of people and the necessary quality refer to our re-planning, and those units of the tribe are different from what we usually come into contact with, and they need to be accurately measured......"

"You have to think ......carefully about the military supplies you carry! General Edlan, please count it as soon as possible!"

"The specific plan for the selection and detention of troops must be drawn up as soon as possible, and we will discuss this point immediately......

In this way, Crassus, Kael'thas, Modra, Ronin and Gianna, the five well-known ** masters in the world, consciously gathered together and discussed the details with Illidan.

After all, with the current portal technology, it is simply impossible to sustain an army of 40,000 people to open the portal for a long distance and a long time, so when Crassus proposed to use the group teleportation spell to send these people to their destination in one go, no one raised any objections.

During this time, the others must put the troops in order to continue the battle as soon as possible, rest in place and wait for the final results of several ** divisions. As for Thrall and Woking, they brought with them 10,000 troops from the bottom of the Horde Pressure Box and set up camp just outside the coalition camp.

Unlike the sense of urgency of the high-level meeting, the blatant resentment and insults of the soldiers at the grassroots level can be seen everywhere, and the two sides, with the "help" of the lingua franca, are almost on the verge of misfire. Fortunately, at this time, a new round of orders from the top brass came down, asking everyone to rest in place, as much as possible, and they were about to go to Mount Hyjal to fight the demons.

So under such pressure, those grassroots soldiers were able to settle down, of course, those officers on both sides were experienced and hated each other, and they secretly cheered up the soldiers, "Commander XX said, you must work hard when you kill the demons, if you find that we have less greenskins/iron cans than those green skins/iron cans when you count the results of the battle at the end, you can wait for the wrath of Commander XX!" and other words that kept them alive and strong.

And often, after such encouragement, it will be exchanged for a sentence such as "We don't have a bad seed!

Encouraged by these experienced officers at all levels, the morale of the coalition soldiers, who had already experienced a bloody battle, was in high spirits, and they were all gearing up to get to their destination to take out those damned demons.

Edlan looked at the high-spirited soldiers in the army with satisfaction from a distance, even though he knew that in the next battle, many soldiers who couldn't even be named in front of him would die because of one of his orders, and he didn't want to make any excuse that it was a last resort, that it was for victory, because this was war, because they were soldiers. The reason is simple, he is a commander, they are soldiers, and that's it.

More than an hour later, after everything was ready, with the help of Illidan, the well-known ** master of the world after careful study launched a joint spell.

Arcane light began to glow brightly across the sky, and light purple rays fell like streamers, enveloping the restless chosen coalition soldiers on the ground. People's hearts are very complicated, before they were still in the atmosphere of group excitement, even a small private was eager to go up and kill Akmund in person, but now, in the face of this unknown wonderful spell and unknown fate, people's hearts began to murmur and become uneasy.

But this kind of uneasiness is only a momentary thing, because they know that those leaders, those high-ranking officials are with them, and the simple soldiers think so simply in their hearts that when those high-ranking people stand with them, most of them are very safe places, and they don't have to worry about what will happen, and even if something happens, they will have a rotten life, what kind of prince or general is the other party, and it is not much more noble than their own rotten life?

So, those high-ranking officials are not afraid, what are they afraid of?

The soldiers' performance reassured Edlan, and he didn't give any stirring speeches, nor did he let the officers of all ranks boost their morale, because whatever the soldiers thought, they were now showing enough steady, normal mind. Crassus and the others specifically explained that they should not have any violent mood swings during the teleportation process, which may affect their own safety.

Perhaps this kind of reminder is also useful, so that the soldiers who don't know much about the truth at all stand silent, curious, and with some worry in the arcane light.

The arcane light began to grow brighter and brighter, and the mana crystals placed in the circle around them began to shatter, and the arcane energy in the air began to thicken, and it was soon absorbed by this large teleportation spell that was constantly increasing.

And when the brilliance of the arcane was already too bright for the human eye to look at, several ** masters recited the last few jerky incantations! The light that shone like the sun flashed away, and there was nothing left on the empty ground......

"Hopefully they will succeed. ”

"Mavi, do you want to follow me? ”

"Hmph, you don't want to escape from my surveillance! Shanna, take the people, let's go. ”
