Ash Valley.

Edlan's so-called purification ritual required little preparation, but he still pulled out all the things he had used as spellcasting materials.

After he confirmed that everyone was looking at each other and moving away from this place, Adran muttered, "Anvina, I need your strength, please lend it to me." ”

"Okay, Dad. ”

Avena's innocent face appeared in Edlan's mind, and her unreserved devotion made him feel very guilty, he didn't do anything for her, but kept asking for strength from her...... What makes him even more uncomfortable is that whenever this happens, Anvena will always comfort him in turn and say: "It's okay Dad, I'm happy to contribute to the world where Dad lives, and this will be the world I want to live in, as a part of the world, I am willing to do this." So, please don't blame yourself so much. ”

Azeroth is such a good boy who understands things......

Then, everyone in the Ashen Valley saw the pillar of holy light that rose up from the ground and even broke through the sky! The holy light was like a blade, piercing into the corpse of Tikdios who was closest to it, firmly entwining and shattering the demonic energy that Illidan could not finish containing and flowing out of control. Immediately after, bright light shot out from the pillar of light, and the next moment, the power of the holy light mercilessly devoured, decomposed, and dissipated the demon corpse in front of him......

This pillar of light didn't last long, just a minute, but after it rose to the sky and reached its apex, it spread out in all directions, and small soft balls of light slowly fell down, like pure snowflakes, which made its scope begin to grow continuously, even encompassing the entire eastern part of the Ash Valley Forest.

But this kind of ripple is not like a typhoon passing through to uproot everything on the ground, but like a spring breeze and drizzle, the demon corpses on the ground stained with the small golden balls of light were quickly melted and evaporated, and after more balls of light were touched by the living, they were healed and comforted by the powerful holy light and life force.

But not everyone is glad that they have survived, and they are honored to see this kind of fabulous and powerful treatment, for example, Thrall and some of the top leaders of the tribe are dead, because they were able to completely defeat the tide of demons with the help of the Red Dragon Legion, and the Red Dragon Legion now has a very poor sense of orcs, if it weren't for the fact that they were dealing with demons, I'm afraid that the flames of anger would have poured on their heads, right? In addition, Sal and the others had also witnessed from a distance how the strong men on the coalition side had killed two great demons one after another who were so powerful that they were powerless to resist them, which made Sal feel deeply jealous.

And now, after the other side has shown such strong allies and strength, what should the new tribe do, whether to join the coalition completely and lose themselves, or to choose to continue the struggle for revenge or the independence of the tribe?Thrall is in a state of confusion......

As for the others, in this veritable rain of light, those who survived the terrifying onslaught of the demon and the army of the undead after struggling to support themselves under the coercion of the legendary demons, all let go of their tense hearts and enjoyed this short time of rest, because they knew that in the next operation, they would face a more difficult environment and a more powerful enemy, the polluter Akmund.

......

In the camp of the expeditionary force, an impromptu meeting was being held, and instead of greeting each other, the participants began to share information and discuss the next steps while the soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, rescuing the wounded, and counting supplies.

"To be honest, it's too wasteful for you to use your precious power that can break through the level on the purification ritual, if it weren't for the inability to interrupt the ritual, I would even want to pull you out, and if you didn't have you when dealing with Akmund, we would have been much more passive. Illidan's words spoke to most of the people present.

After all, with the help of Avena's Sun Well Essence and the Red Dragon's Life Secret Method, Edlan was able to soar to the level of the epic high level in a short period of time, which was already the strength of a first-line dragon. If this kind of strength can at least be targeted by the other party when fighting Akmund, there is a slight chance of self-preservation.

However, what made everyone feel that the hope was not extinguished, and it was learned from Crassus and Karegos that the Red Dragon Legion and the Blue Dragon Legion had also decided to join the war, and that the two dragon kings and other dragons would appear at the right time to take Akmund by surprise.

As for the Green Dragon Legion, due to the geographical location and the fact that the three druids who had fallen into a slumber but had not yet woken up could not bring back information, it is not known at this time, but it is known that they are working in Azhara to clean up the demon portal there.

As for the fact that there are so many big guys, even the "protagonists" of humans and dragons have participated in this battle against Akmund, Edlan already feels very stable, and he also has the so-called "light is coming", which is a metaphor that I don't know what it is, maybe it can be used as a killer feature.

This advantage to the point of having no friends is exactly what he has been looking forward to.

As early as before the outbreak of the plague in Lordaeron, he had suggested that Arthas did something similar, mobilizing all the powerful forces that could be mobilized with lightning speed to strangle the sprouts of the plague directly in the cradle, but helplessly Edlan tried his best at that time but never succeeded.

On the contrary, it was an initial attempt at Dalaran that directly affected his layout. He is still very grateful to Crassus for this, if he hadn't acted as an intermediary to connect all forces to save the Green Dragon Legion in advance, the current situation would not be so good.

Edlan calculated, the two dragon kings, if optimistically estimated, Ysera will also appear in the end, plus the adult dragons of the tricolor dragon legion, I don't know how many times stronger than the original "history" mortal army and powerhouses, he even felt

In the end, it doesn't take Malfurion to blow up the World Tree to kill Akmund, this advantage is a flying dragon riding face, how can you lose?

If it weren't for the special mission of the bronze dragon, Edlan would almost want to call the Lord of Time directly through Chromie...... It's just that the bronze dragon didn't come to trouble him, and if he goes to find trouble for the king of time, I'm afraid he won't have any good fruit to eat.

"Okay, let's not discuss this issue, right? Edlan changed the subject, saying that although he was the nominal commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, he was not able to do what he said and make everyone do what he was told. Even if they have just won a "magnificent" and "epic" victory.

Victory in one or two local battles doesn't prove anything, and besides, the final battle was easily won with the help of the dragons of the Red Dragon Legion, and if those demons rushed at us, the losses of the coalition would definitely be even greater.

It is also precisely because of the intervention of the Red Dragon Legion that there are more representatives of the transcendent forces in the originally united mortal group, which means that Edlan can't do anything right away anyway, and his prestige is not enough to subdue these dragons who have lived for so long.

Especially on the issue of the Horde. Even if Crassus could put aside his hatred for the time being by focusing on the overall situation for the long time being, the grumpy Valastaz couldn't, and the latter was eager to prove that his idea hadn't changed even now, not to mention that he had just taken some young dragons to the wetlands to purge the remnants of the Dragonthroat Clan.

Hatred is not something that can be let go of as a beautiful word says. There are wise men like Crassus who can put aside or even exploit hatred for a while, and there are reckless men like Valastaz who are blinded by hatred.

"The orcs can be burned to death, and those invaders are the pawns of the demons! Are we being humiliated by them?" Valastaz in human form insisted on his opinion with a look of disgruntle, apparently he also knew some of the history of the mortal race.

This view was also unanimously affirmed by almost everyone except Edlan, Crassus, and Gianna. Dalin and Brian, who were seriously wounded at the meeting, were the most direct participants in the Orc War, and they were asked to accept that the tribe was simply playing the harp to the cow;

Although the ** Shi Modra, who temporarily represents Dalaran, did not express her position directly, she also sneered again and again, and from her expression, it can be seen that the temporary speaker of Kenrito has a very poor sense of the tribe that once attacked Dalaran;

Needless to say, Kael'thas and other blood elves also caused a lot of trauma to the blood elves when the tribe united with the trolls to invade Quel'Thalas, and even the mother and younger brother of the two Windrangers present died in the invasion that year, so it's no wonder that there is no blood feud;

As for the Night Elves, not to mention, the corpses of the Sentinels, Cenarius and the Green Dragon are not yet cold, the crimes of the Warsong Lumberyard are vivid, and the chaotic entry of a certain time-traveler has almost lost a good opportunity for the tribe to atone for its sins and be accepted by the mainstream society of Azeroth......

Even Adlane and Gianna were not sure that when they told their officers that they had accepted orcs as allies and joined forces, what kind of doubts and resistance would the remnants of Lordaeron have?

Faced with a little angry "discussion" of what kind of crimes the orcs and tribes had committed in the past, Edlan could only slap the table, "Quiet! It's quiet!" After the venue was quiet, he said: "To be honest, I also hate the evil orcs, a group of locust-like invaders controlled by demons. But now that Manolos is dead, the culprit of controlling the orcs is dead, and the tribe is joined by calm and sane trolls like Wojin, and by the minotaurs who are also peace-loving and nature-loving, isn't it worth putting aside our hatred for a moment and observing first? Besides, are you 100% sure of victory in the face of Akmund and his army? We should now unite all the forces we can unite and settle the matter of the Burning Legion first, and then deal with the internal problems of Azeroth. Prioritize, friends, if you go to trouble the tribe now, it will only make Akmund happy. ”

In fact, everyone understands the truth, but accepting the tribe is not only a matter of hatred, but also a question of how to explain to the people below, which is about majesty and authority, and it is also a problem of ideology and cognition. All of you here are people with a certain amount of power, even directly kings and lords, who have to shoulder not only the victory of the war, but also the hearts of the army and the people.

The lower the people, the less ideological consciousness is so high, and their simple thinking is, "Orcs are invaders, villains who burn our farmland, executioners who slaughter our loved ones, demonic ...... who bring destruction to the homes we live in" and so on. They don't think that the addition of a tribe will reduce the casualties of their own army and even increase their survival rate, they don't think that they must unite all the forces that can be united under the pressure of the Burning Legion, and they also don't want to accept to fight side by side with those invaders as if they were "currying" after paying the lives of almost all the men in the village in exchange for winning the war against the orcs......

This is an insult, and it is a blasphemy against the history of blood and tears and the history of resistance of the countries of the eastern continent that have only passed more than a decade. The Dark Gate is only 20 years old, and the newborn children have grown up listening to their fathers tell how they escaped from the swords of the evil invaders and how they battled their wits against the murderous invaders. Even among the soldiers and officers at the bottom, there are some veterans of World War II! Even the paladins do! In their eyes, if the order from above is "the tribe is an ally, don't clash with them" or "we will fight side by side with the tribe...... Presumably, the soldiers would have blown up the camp on the spot, even if it was explained

The soldiers couldn't let go of it.

It is conceivable that if this order had finally been forcefully passed by the people above to unite the tribes, the surviving soldiers would have returned to their hometowns and passed through their word of mouth, and the phrase "the lord/king cooperated with the invaders" would have been the most popular topic of discussion.

It sounds good to put aside hatred, go hand in hand, and resist foreign enemies, and such an act is indeed great, but it is by no means something that the people and soldiers at the bottom can understand in a short time. It takes time for these things to be understood, accepted and eventually changed with the sincerity of both parties.

Not everyone has the courage to say the kind of impassioned "great truth" as Tirioferdin, after being saved by Itreig, after listening to his words. Whether it's Kael'thas or Daelin, or even Gianna and Adrian, they all rule their own countries and territories, so they have no reason to convince their followers and civilians to accept the tribe until the tribe has shown enough sincerity.

So now, despite what Adelan said was true, the scene fell into an awkward silence for a while.

Then Luo Ning, a good old man, came out to be a peacemaker again, and he said: "Otherwise, shouldn't we also station an army here to protect the supply lines and the wounded soldiers here." Then tell the tribe that you can let them also send troops to station nearby, or even clear out the demons who fled into the forest and hid, even if it is to help us, we can also not divide too many forces to pay attention to those remnants of the defeated generals, and we will not let the tribe out of our sight. ”

Obviously, Ronin's proposal was more acceptable to those present than Adelan's desire to involve the Horde in the seamount battle, and the vote was almost overwhelmingly in favor of Ronin's proposal.

Edran sighed secretly, although everyone knew that there must be only one voice in the army, and it was very dangerous to engage in democracy, but there was no way, he was not the supreme commander who did not have enough prestige, and there were dragons of extraordinary strength to join, no matter how he was going to fight Manolos before, he would not be the one who finally made the final decision like he was preparing to fight Manolos before.

Unless he leads the Night Elf's army like Garrod Shadow Song and finally fends off the demon's attack, only by achieving that kind of feats can everyone be convinced, even the high-ranking dragon will give him "face".

Thankfully, at least for now, the problem seemed to be solved, and Adelan pushed the next item on the agenda of the meeting, saying, "Okay, so Illidan, what do you think about the problem of the three druids not waking up after entering the dream? You know, we urgently need to know the movements of the druids such as the Green Dragons and Malfurion. ”

Nararex was seriously injured in the previous battle and needed to enter the dream to get better treatment, while Elerethere Levral entered the dream to inquire about the details of the Green Dragon Legion and wanted to contact Malfurion, but she never woke up after entering the dream, and Browl Bearskin, who felt that something was wrong, also entered the dream in order to investigate the situation.

The coalition camp is no better than the Night Elves' territory that has those beast dens dedicated to the druids' sleep, and it stands to reason that it is easier to wake up from such a slumber, but now the three druids are like adding fuel to the tactics and have no reaction after entering the Emerald Dream Realm.

Illidan was also puzzled, he was also curious about what happened to the Emerald Dream, although after sharing information, he knew that there had been a serious disaster in the Emerald Dream a few years ago, but with the help of various forces, the Green Dragon Legion was able to get rid of the corrosive effect of the Emerald Nightmare, just like now, the Green Dragon Legion fighting in Azhara is the best proof. So Illidan also felt strange, "I don't know, although I am also curious, but when I learned the way of the druid, Cenarius did not allow me to enter the Emerald Dream. But I'm sure there's something going on in the Emerald Dream that trapped the druids who entered it, so much so that we've lost touch with them now. ”

"It's going to be difficult now, without Cenarius, we can't even enter the Emerald Dream Realm...... "Crassus was one of the members who participated in the rescue operation of the Green Dragon Legion on the spot, and he knew very well that Cenarius was a guide to mortals, under normal circumstances, without the guidance of that demigod, it would be impossible for anyone other than the Druid and the Green Dragon to enter.

Edlan is also an egg pain, why is there so much disaster for the Green Dragon Legion, and he also said that when he fought against Akmund, he could count on the Three Dragon Kings to get the polluter together and directly fly the dragon to ride the face, now it's good, it looks like maybe when he will go to help the Green Dragon Legion wipe his ass. "In that case, then we must be prepared to fight in Mount Hyjal without the help of the Green Dragons...... To that end, let's start with a well-established backup plan. ”

Eventually, the coalition camp was used as a logistical staging point, but only with a sufficient number of people remaining. So Brian Copperbeard, who had been wounded but not too seriously injured, stayed here, and he led 3,000 warriors of all races to become the guardians of this place, ensuring logistics and establishing a field hospital, which was used as a rear base, and Dalin Proudmoore, who was seriously injured and not suitable for high-intensity combat, was treated here.

Originally, this base was also tasked with monitoring the movements of the tribe, but Woking and Thrall came together and resolutely expressed their willingness to do their part in the decisive battle to expel the demons, so even if the other high-ranking members of the coalition did not appreciate it, it would not be easy to have more disputes at this time, because Tyrande sent a message that at the foot of Mount Hyjal through the Frost Canyon in Winterspring Valley, the armies of the Burning Legion and the Scourge Legion appeared as if out of thin air, using some kind of special portal device, and mobilized almost all the troops here!

The situation was critical, and Tyrande needed all of his troops outside to return to Mount Hyjal to defend it. So now no one thinks about the tribe anymore, they want to come together, if they don't do something, the world will end together.
