Prelude 9

The next day, Illidan accepted the mission, and took with him the 30,000 Naga warriors of Vasqi, and to be honest, none of them really knew the purpose of the trip. The Naga civilians only knew that Aishshara had sent the general on a mission, because there were a large number of demons entrenched there, and it was easy to reveal their location, while Vasqi and other high-ranking generals thought that they were going to help Illidan recapture a special mission specially arranged by the queen, and they just had to obey Illidan's arrangement, and Illidan only thought that he was going to destroy Deathwing after getting the Eye of Sargeras, but he didn't know exactly how to do it, and as for Azhara, although she knew that she could do it, she didn't know what the purpose of doing it was, because it was the last contract with the Old Gods, and that is to let him complete the task and use the power of Sargeras to destroy the Icecrown Fortress.

Although destroying the Icecrown Fortress is very meaningful to any mortal now, but the old gods will help mortals suppress the Deathwing who was made a villain by Enzos, and Azhara is really a little surprised, but she seems to have thought of a good reason, that is, Deathwing did not obey Enzos after gaining power, and maybe Enzos will not tolerate betrayal, even if they themselves are imprisoned, they are not allowed to have the slightest challenge. Azhara thought so, so she had no reason not to let Illidan do it, both public and private, and she also observed Illidan again, and agreed that Illidan was indeed more reliable now than before, and that she herself had minimized the possibility of Illidan's possible pure threat. But perhaps she didn't think that that the will had not been completely destroyed, and that the remaining will was really the purpose of Enzos:

Enzos really wanted to break through the seal, but his real purpose this time was not to release himself, but to release another ancient god Cthun, the elder god brother who most wanted to appear in the world and most wanted to destroy the world, because when he destroyed the Icecrown Fortress was also the time to pierce the earth and seal of Northrend, he would be at that time, and he would be doomed to fail, yes, he would fail, this was the result he knew 10,000 years ago, Cthun would fail

Ironically, this doomed outcome was unknown to Cthun and all of his subordinates. And for Enzoth, only if he fails, his other brother, Yogsaron, will awaken from his slumber, leaving the Faceless Army and the Twilight Army with no choice but to serve the new master and awaken her. And he, his other brother, Yogsaron, will cause new destruction in his place, and if he succeeds, he will be released himself, and his wish will be granted. But if mortals defeat him again, then he will be the only old god, plus the dead Asa Ji himself will carry the power of all the old gods, and at that time, no matter what power can hinder his bondage, and he will rule all the worlds according to his own will. Enzos thought so, indeed, as the weakest ancient god, he had to rely on his too strong intelligence and strategy to become the final winner.

When Illidan arrived at the tomb of Sargeras, just in time for the end of the war between the Horde and the Alliance, in the ruins of this somewhat forgotten High Elf city, Illidan thought about what he should do, because he felt the presence of a large number of demons nearby, although there was a seal, these demons were not able to enter, but the cautious Akmund still sent a considerable number of soldiers to surround it, because in his opinion, the way to defeat himself was to find the power of Sargeras to fight against him, but now, it seems that mortals obviously did not recognize this method, or did not choose this way to fight evil with evil。

When Illidan thought of this, he snorted unconsciously, it is true that he still admires Akmund's consciousness very much, and he left his most trusted troops here, but it is a pity that he was still calculated, but the place is not familiar here, it is a pity. However, there is another thing, and that is the loyalty of these demons to him, and it is clear that after learning of the death of their leader, they did not betray him, like other demons, and obeyed Kil'Gardan's call to submit to Illidan himself, but continued to stay here.

Although Illidan was keen to bring these demons under his command, it was obviously impossible, as Akmund's death had more or less to do with him. Without further ado, Illidan led the Naga army to fight with the more than 200,000 demons entrenched here, because the seabed somewhat limited the demons' ability to act, plus they did not have a strong general to command them, and the ten low-level abyss lords went their own way, although they had an absolute advantage in strength, but within three days, they were wiped out by the powerful Illidan one by one, and the only remaining ones also tried to escape to the deepest part of the temple. But they were all wiped out by powerful seals, because this is what Illidan wanted, and he wanted to use these still powerful demons to overload this barrier, but even the last demon died in the barrier, which did not shake him in the slightest, and some Naga soldiers also ended up dying when they passed through the barrier under Illidan's orders.

Seeing this, Illidan was very vigilant, yes, he had heard rumors about this enchantment, and no native creatures and demons of Azeroth were allowed to enter, but there were always accidents, such as orcs and ogres, those creatures were not known by Egwene the Sealer, so they could. He wasn't an orc, though, and though he had similar powers, the head had been crushed by himself.

In this regard, Vasqi, who is Illidan's deputy, did not realize that his will was controlled, and he may not really be controlled by Guldan, who is equal to his strength, but there are always accidents, because Guldan has received some help from the ancient gods, and with the help of Enzos, who is also the best at demagoguery, he still conceals himself very well, and has the power to control her actions at a critical moment, but Guldan still ignores something, that is, this Naga's love for Illidan, which makes her unable to go directly to the pit Illidan, for example, Guldan wants Illidan to try to cross in, because then he will definitely be killed like those demons or Naga, and then he will be able to pass by himself, and in the case of five people, plus that map, he will definitely be able to get the power of Sargeras, and then

Gul'dan didn't think about it anymore when he thought about it, but a real problem was in front of him, and that was that he couldn't control this soul to persuade Illidan to do so. I had no choice but to wait, until three days later, a message was delivered to a scene, and this is exactly what Aishara wanted to show him:

It was the real scene of the Alliance and Horde war mediated by Tyrande and his brother Malfurion, of course this is not the point, the point is that when 'I' raised the Black Dragon threat, Malfurion and Tyrande were indifferent, or even disagreed, not that they didn't know, but they didn't care. And said that someone would solve it. In this regard, 'I' was extremely angry, and Illidan was also so angry like me, he couldn't believe that his brother and sister-in-law really didn't let his people prepare anything, if he led the demon army to attack the natural disaster at that time, it would make sense, but now that he was defeated, after the black dragon ate it all, he was still unprepared. It really doesn't make sense. Although he said that he would continue to fight when he went to sea, he did not expect his brother to put all his chips on himself

But even so, in order not to let himself live up to their trust, Illidan decided to take matters into his own hands, that is, to use protective film to break in.

When Illidan made up his mind to do so, he arranged for his deputy, Vaschi, to wait for him here. As expected, the powerful guardian force is very repelling to Illidan, and the powerful destructive power is probably not something that any mortal can withstand, and the huge sound of the surrounding magnetic field and the flesh rubbing against each other can be heard clearly even from several kilometers away, but Illidan does not think so, although the destruction of the flesh is enough to make him roar, but he does not, even if his body is already charred black.

And Illidan did not retreat, he knew that even if he lost this body, he would have to step into it, because he had endured this pain, he had already endured it when Sargeras had turned himself into this, when he destroyed his own eyes, and more importantly, he had borne the responsibility, if his own people were not prepared and believed that he could complete the task of destroying the black dragon, then he had no reason not to complete it. With this kind of thinking, Illidan also rushed into it even harder.

————

On the other side of the previous day, the time was here after Akmund was knocked out.

In the vicinity of the Sadara Forest in the Stone Grasp Mountain Range, when Akmund's power was defeated, Egwene gradually woke up here, but the long sleep and some things have made her almost unable to use any magic power, but she can still live here, in a secret cave that she escaped from the defeat of her 'son' twenty years ago, maybe if it weren't for some of her own enchanted monsters, such as some brooms that can help her clean, Plates and candles, as well as a few long-stocked bits of food that hadn't spoiled with the help of her magic, might have been a long time since she couldn't live.

But how long can this last? Maybe after a few days of these things, the enchantment will lose its shelf life, and it will be completely lonely. And she knew very well in her heart that even she herself could no longer adapt to loneliness when she was powerful in her own magic, especially now, without the support of magic, and she would not even have the ability to live for a long time.

She had to try to change this, but how to change it, there was no passage to the outside in this deep and sealed basement, and she no longer had any magic, and if she wanted to go out, she had to dig hard, which was really unrealistic for her old and frail, but fortunately, she could still observe the surrounding situation and the current situation through the enchanted crystal ball.

She gradually learns that her son has accomplished a feat of helping mortals defeat the current leader of the Burning Legion, and that he has completed his own redemption. Seeing this, Egwene was very pleased, but in addition to these, Egwene also found a reality, that is, the current alliance is no longer glorious like himself, and this alliance expeditionary force is not one or two, and all the people who have migrated have been mistreated by the tribe and the centaurs. Also in Stormwind, Kurtilas and other places in the Alliance, the economy has been hit, and what is more serious is that the Undead Scourge has become stronger after this battle, and they are still a serious direct threat to the Alliance.

Seeing this, as a former member of the alliance, she was also sighed in her heart, and she also wanted to help us, but her own strength was almost nothing, and she was completely a drag, just like ' I'm the same, although I also have the name of the Alliance, but it is not what it used to be, the broken team of tens of thousands of people is not even one-tenth of the current tribe, or even one-twentieth of the strength of the current tribe, and there are many dwarves and gnomes among them, obviously it will not be long before these non-human alliances will return to Ironforge for their own sake, and these remnants of the alliance humans may have only two ways out, join the night, or return to Stormwind City to join it. But I'm afraid that the only ones who can go back are these remnants of the army on 'my' side, and as for those civilians, I am afraid that they will completely become slaves or cattle of the tribe and the people. And this would mean that it was a complete mistake for 'I' to follow Medivan's advice to checkmate, because all the civilians were killed, and it would be better to stay where they were and go to Stormwind to be outcasts. In addition, the conflict between the alliance and the tribe will continue to wait for it to erupt.

Here, on the other hand, because of the joining and unity of some races, coupled with Thrall's foresight, near Stonetalon Mountain, the tribe is eager to increase the size of its air force, and is ready to attack the Harpies. In any case, their current strength is far greater than that of the alliance dominated by Stormwind, and Thrall's aggressive actions have also worried Egwene.

Egwene wasn't in a very good mood when she saw this, but as she observed, she noticed something unusual, that was Mavi, she seemed to be a little different, or rather strange about 'me', she devoted herself to helping 'me' and the alliance to resupply, and even went to Thrydes for the sake of the civilians, and got her permission, of course, not only that, she and ' My's experience in the nearby Dark Lake reminded her of what she had been in the past, not only recognizing that the Alliance seemed to have another glimmer of hope, but also sparking some of her latent will. Later, the alliance led by 'me' settled in the dust swamp in Kalimdor, and with the complete subjugation of Kurtiras, it can be regarded as hope. However, after the Horde took action against the Thrydes and the Harpies, the Alliance backed up the Centaurs and raided Bloodhoof, and war was on the verge of breaking out. Then, contrary to her guess, Mavi led her cronies to change the war, and even used the vengeful gods that had not been used in the Battle of Quicksand to fight against the Horde, and reversed the war while she was pregnant, helping the Alliance take advantage of it, plus the help of Stormwind at the critical moment, and the devastating plunder carried out by the High Elves in the enemy's rear, that is, the goblin material distribution center, finally reversed the outcome of this asymmetrical war, and the Alliance won and signed a peace agreement with the Horde in a victorious manner. Egwene was not very relieved to see this, she felt as if she had to do something, even if it was only to help the Alliance remember some of the contents of the books, and of course to give everything after her death, she knew that she was dying, and even if she could survive for a few more years, the lack of food was a serious crisis for her. So no matter what, she has to leave, and the current alliance obviously needs itself, the fall of Dalaran and the tragic war in Hyjal have made the number of mages in the alliance a handful, and her own reserve of magical knowledge can be regarded as the greatest contribution to the alliance. Of course, she didn't think sober, and her experience of seeing Mavi in the Dark Lake that night made her want some comfort, if only once.

But there is a big problem in front of me, and that is how to get there. Even if she absorbed some of the enchantments that remained on the pots and pans, it might not be enough for her to complete the portal spell to reach the Dust Swamp, and just as she was thinking about how to bypass the dangerous tribal zone to reach the Dust Swamp region of the Alliance, she suddenly realized what force was trying to break the seal on Sargeras. And she no longer has the strength to observe the situation there, but she can feel that it was the night elf Illidan who was inspired to destroy the Black Dragon King, and she decided to withdraw this powerful force, because she knew that he was cut off by the Black Dragon King when he first fought against the Catastrophe, and it is true that he can only fight against the current Black Dragon King through some of the power of Sargeras.

Even if she decided to choose to support this Night Elf, she withdrew the power of the seal, after all, this seal is meaningless now, because the seal is open to the orcs and ogres in the tribe, all of them are potential enemies of the alliance, and Egwene really needs this power to release here, because after she gets this power, she can still recover the strength of the archmage of Dalaran, so that she can directly teleport to the dust swamp, and she can also prove her ability as a former guardian. I accept, and of course, that I can use it to rejuvenate my heart's desires

----------

Back to Illidan, just as he was about to use his strength to fight against these barriers, the barriers suddenly disappeared, although it seemed that there was still some force field left, but Illidan knew in his heart that these barriers did not have any limiting effect at all. The other Naga cheered, because this time Illidan had once again proved his strength, and this enchantment was an existence that even Queen Azhara did not dare to approach easily, but Illidan broke through this seal.

Illidan didn't want anyone else to know about this, so he ordered his troops to be put under the command of Vasqi, and to hold the perimeter while waiting for his return.

Vasqi was also very surprised, Illidan did it, of course, what was even more surprised was the soul in her body, he couldn't believe that Illidan had done it, and he clearly realized that he didn't hurt his muscles and bones at all except that his appearance was a little unbearable. He obviously couldn't watch Sargeras's power being taken away by Illidan, so he decided on some plans, which was to use his subconscious mind to encourage Vaschi to enter it as well, and under his own will, there was no limit at all as to the enchantment Gul'dan as an orc soul. So that night she decided to set foot in the temple herself. Vasqi herself was willing to go, but her willingness was entirely motivated by her fear of Illidan.

Also here Illidan, he took the map and went towards that place, but in this huge temple, Illidan is not the only one, there are also some demons, they are loyal to the creatures of other planets conquered by Akmund, they are also through this battle to defend Illidan and escape the demons together, but this seal is only effective against demons, and it is useless to them, creatures from other worlds.

They numbered in the dozens, and when they learned that there was the power of Sargeras, they decided to seek out it and try to use it to resurrect Akmund, or to take revenge on all those who had betrayed him in his name, and these people were not only the mortals who fought against him, but also Kil'Gardan and the entire Burning Legion, so they also waited behind Illidan to find him. To snatch this power again, yes, this is their only chance, although on the battlefield, they recognized the powerful power of this powerful night warrior after turning into a great demon, but when the interval of that transformation, they felt that it was still possible for so many people to defeat him to snatch the power of Sargeras, especially when they sensed that Illidan was a little timid, which made them even more confident. So they decided to wait until he found Sargeras's body one by one, force him out of the transformation time, and then wait until that time to beat him up again.

Illidan was also aware of the remnants, but he didn't want to dwell on them, because what he had to do now was to find the Eye of Sargeras or something, because it was as if something had been watching him since he walked in, and it was not so comfortable, even timid, compared to that powerful aura, these remnants of Akmund were not even scum. And the existence of this unknown aura didn't want Illidan to stay here for too long.

To be continued....
