"I know what you're thinking, friend. You're wondering when you'll be able to launch that spaceship and carry the army to Quell Dennis Island. ”

In the desert of the Void Storm, armed with a weave of demon hunters and orcs, Illidan found Ares. In that strange and confident tone, he told Ares about the current situation.

Despite not liking for others to guess his mind, Ares calmed down and listened to the Demon Hunter.

"You know?"

Standing side by side with Illidan on the desert heights, letting the dry desert wind blow his hair, Ares asked.

"Yes, I know what you know, and I know what you don't know."

With a sly smile, Illidan said coldly.

"What else do you know?"

Ares asked, slightly unpleasantly. In front of the Demon Hunter, he seemed to be seen through by him, and as for how he saw through it, Ares didn't know.

"I also know you have a way to start the ship, just wait."

Illidan raised the corners of his mouth and whispered.

"I have a way? What's the solution? ”

Illidan's words made Ares feel uneasy. He asked, staring at Illidan.

"You know there's only one way to activate Stormkeep, and that's Naru. Naru is the energy source for the spaceship to activate, as long as more than two Naru release energy, the Storm Fortress can be activated, and the ship will be sent to Quell Dennis Island. This is the only way. But this requires sacrifice, and Naru, who activates the ship, is likely to drain the Holy Energy in his body in the process. Clearly, no Naru has such a spirit of sacrifice. ”

Illidan walked over, scratching his sharp black nails, and said grimly.

"Since there is none, what you and I say is meaningless."

Ares returned calmly.

"No, it makes sense. What you dare not do, or what you can't do because of moral constraints, I can do it. As a paladin, you need to think a lot, your image, your public influence, your beliefs and teachings, etc...... I, on the other hand, don't have those constraints. You know, Ares, I'm a demon hunter, and my goal and motivation for the rest of my life to survive is to hunt demons, and for that purpose, I can do anything. For example......"

Illidan smiled wickedly.

"Like forcibly enslaving people and asking them to serve you, right?"

Ares turned his head and said grimly. In fact, having said that, Ares already knew what Illidan was thinking.

"Hmph, that's normal. In order to stop the Burning Legion, we sometimes have to make the necessary sacrifices. ”

Illidan took another step closer. He was almost close to Ares' side, and at this distance, Ares could feel the demonic aura emanating from him. After all, Illidan, who had absorbed Gul'dan Skull, had already absorbed a large amount of evil energy. It is impossible to completely cover it up. And this aura is diametrically opposed to the Holy Light, contradicting each other.

"Frankly, you don't want to bring this up with the Naru clan for moral reasons, but I can. I can still capture one or two of them and force them to activate the Storm Fortress, this race is amazing, very powerful, they are a natural source of energy. ”

Illidan finally opened the skylight and spoke.

This kind of bluntness, this kind of brazenness, surprised Ariston a little. Although Ares had known about Illidan's idea for a long time, it was still incredible to say it directly, so openly.

"No, it's absolutely not going to work."

As soon as Illidan finished speaking, Ares sternly refused.

"Don't disguise yourself, you say no, I know that you have approved of my idea in your heart."

Illidan continued coldly. Like a demon, he bewitched and persuaded Ares.

"No, I don't approve of it! If we do that, we'll be like the Lich King enslaving the undead! This is against the way of the Light, against our spirit of freedom! ”

Ares continued to refuse fiercely.

"The Way of Light? Free spirit? Hmph, what's that worth? Wake up, friend, Azeroth is about to be destroyed, and yet you are still here clinging to the so-called doctrine and free spirit? If our homeland is gone, what faith and freedom do you have left? Demons will enslave our souls, and the world will return to darkness and chaos. When the time comes, talk to them about freedom and faith! ”

Illidan growled.

Their quarrel is like doing an unsolvable multiple-choice question, no matter which answer you choose, it is not right, but it is also right......

"I will never allow you to do this!"

Ares responded with a low growl.

They stared fiercely at the two wrestling beasts. But in the end, Illidan couldn't do anything about Ares. The Storm Fortress is controlled by the Alliance and the Shattered Sun, and if the Demon Hunter forcibly captures Naru and activates the ship, it will inevitably have to fight with the Alliance and the Shattered Sun Legion, which is destined to be more than worth the loss.

……

However, there was no end to the sky, and two days later, Alda summoned all the Naru, and at the Great Dome of the Light, two good Narus volunteered to be the starting energy source for the Storm Fortress. They traveled to Voidstorm, where the coalition forces were located, and prepared to be there, giving all their light and heat to activate the ship.

Sacrifice, the spirit of sacrifice is so important and precious. At this moment, in front of the two holy Naruns, Varian and Ares felt a pang of shame. Even the king of Stormwind and the head of the Knights could not achieve such absolute dedication and sacrifice. In front of the Storm Keep, when the two glittering Naru were sent into the cabin, Liadrin, the head of the Blood Knights, offered all her knees. This is the Light they have been pursuing, and we may not be as strong as the Burning Legion, but our spirit will be turned into a sword that pierces the enemy's defenses. This is the teaching of Naru.

……

"Ares, why did you let Illidan in? There is no place for him in Storm Fortress! The Broken Sun is not with such a demon! ”

On the day of his departure, the Great General of the Shattered Sun, Tirasaran, found Ares, who roared like an angry lion after being deceived. A heavy tail slapped the ground, pouring out the anger within him.

Ares, on the other hand, was calm and unimpressed.

"Why? Just because he once besieged Shattrath? ”

Facing the enraged General Delaney, Ares asked calmly.

"He slaughtered hundreds of innocent civilians! Lots of Draenei lost their lives! ”

Tirasalan roared. There was only resentment in his eyes. For the crimes committed by Illidan, he is angry.

"But he also killed many demons. Past grievances are not so important in the face of the Burning Legion's army overwhelming. General Tirasaran, maybe you don't know what is happening on our planet. Twenty-five years ago, orcs infected by demonic blood invaded Azeroth, killing countless innocent human civilians at the hands of the tribe and nearly extinct the entire human civilization in Azeroth. In the end, the Lordaeron Alliance was lucky enough to defeat the old tribe by a narrow margin. We won that war. In terms of hatred, we hate tribes and orcs no less than you. Twenty-five years later, however, when the Burning Legion was on a rampage, humans and orcs, alliances and hordes chose to form an alliance. For Azeroth, we are fighting together, and that is cooperation and solidarity. Fight for your homeland. And now, Illidan and we have the same purpose, no one wants to be a traitor, to defeat the Burning Legion, we need as much strength as possible. The situation on Quell Dennis Island will be beyond all of our imagination. ”

Facing Tirazaran, Ares analyzed and persuaded in as calm and rational tone as possible.
