With the Ethereal Spirit skilled in time travel, and the Deathwing as the key, the Burning Legion opened a passage to Azeroth without the Book of Medivan.

The location of the space-time gate lacks suspense, and it is still in the Cursed Lands, and uses the Dark Gate.

But a series of events later proved that Akmund was very particular about opening the door here.

The Land of the Cursed is located at the southernmost tip of the Eastern Continent, and the center of gravity is the human civilization in the north (with the Danmoro Snow Mountain as the middle line), which is obviously beyond the reach of the whip.

After the invasion, the first to drop the chain was the allied country Lordaeron.

After being rescued in Arthas and becoming the Lich Queen, Terenus's temperament changed dramatically, and even the local nobles who visited him several times a year sensed his moodiness, not to mention his close courtiers.

And Lordaeron has experienced the ravages of the Scourge Legion, and even if it can't be described as the essence of the loss, a comment with a great loss of vitality will never run.

The Tarong region, once a land of anointed land, has not been able to recover for ten or eight years after being ravaged by the plague of natural disasters, and the rebellion of a large number of nobles and the seizure of the banshees have left many places lacking organizers and leaders.

Many nobles are indeed very bastards, but the place of bastards is mainly reflected in the greedy exploitation, and most of them are not lacking in organizational and management skills.

Therefore, speaking of Lordaeron in the past few years of Kane's absence, it is really the work of the king and the subjects are the work of the subjects, if the Lordaeron Kingdom uses its own system to radiate the influence and solve the livelihood and employment problems of many people, the Lordaeron Kingdom, which has not been defeated by the Scourge Legion, may disintegrate on its own in the next few years.

Also, the paladins of the Silver Hand are not having a good time, the port of Faou was established on the basis of the Hand of Tyr, the family city of the Hand of the Silver Hand, and if the port of Faou missed, the Hand of Tyr was naturally affected.

It can be said that the loss is heavy, and one out of every two paladins lost a loved one in that catastrophe.

This has led some paladins to question the Way of Light, or to be too angry and no longer uphold the idea of the Silver Hand. Among them is Saidan Dasohan, one of the five members of the founding group.

The disagreement of ideas led to a split within the Silver Hand, and Da Sohan, Abidis the Elder, and Mograine the Elder, formed the Scarlet Crusade. Uther, Gavin Rad, and Benedictas still support the Silver Hand.

There is also a figure worth mentioning, Tirio Fortin.

Fordin's qualifications are very old, and along with Uther and Dasohan, he was one of the first five paladins to be knighted to help Alonthos Fao create the Silver Hand.

It's just that his sentence "I have seen noble orcs and despicable human ......" can be said to be a portrayal of his life. This is a person who does not rub sand in his eyes, does not look at the population country, but only asks whether it is righteous or not, and looks at the world from an emotional point of view and makes judgments.

Fording was removed from the paladin due to a problem with the orc veteran Itreguer.

But the faith of the Light has not been extinguished in his heart.

Kane's evaluation of Fording is still relatively high.

He once used Che Guevara and Castro in the origin world as a metaphor for Ferding and Uther respectively, not talking about comprehensive factors, but purely from the perspective of character, he admired the former more, because the latter have a common problem, that is, cherishing feathers.

Fording is the kind of person who can ignore the name of his predecessor and his body for the sake of justice in his heart, and his thoughts are purer and purer.

For this reason, Kane let the shadow secretly take care of Fording and his family, especially his wife, during the years when he was at the lowest point of Fordin, who did not die in the Stratholme incident like the original historical line, but did not escape the change in Port Fao.

It is said that scars are a man's medal, and it is said that pain and disasters make people grow. Perhaps for Ferdin, it is inevitable to go through these things in order to truly mature.

It can't be said to be mature, and it seems more appropriate to describe it as a painful determination and correction of one's own weaknesses. In the past, Fordin's weakness was the lack of leadership awareness, and his inner arrogance made him disdain to seek power.

And after a series of pains, he finally gave up the past practice of preferring to avoid the world, and took the initiative to try to influence fate.

And there is no shortage of supporters for true temperament and righteous people like Ferdin, who have a contagious soul.

Thus, the Silver and White Crusaders were formed.

An important reason why the Silver and White Crusaders were able to erect the flagpole was that many people in the Silver Hand and the Sect of Light behind it, in the process of interacting with the Holy Temple, were attracted by some of its enlightened views and styles, and became dissatisfied with the old-school tradition of the Silver Hand and the Sect of Light.

In fact, the silver hand has been improving, but after all, there is an invisible framework that is constrained, and there are also some drawbacks that have accumulated over the years, which cannot be changed in half a bit.

But not everyone can understand this, especially in the face of disasters and wars, these drawbacks affect the probability of success and efficiency of solving the problem, these people who feel the pain are particularly unable to tolerate this kind of mistakes, and the senior management of the silver hand for various reasons believes that the current situation is not suitable for a large-scale rectification and purge. As a result, when given the opportunity, these people abandoned the pit.

They disliked the bureaucracy, bloated, slowness, and inability to keep up with the times, but they were also disgusted with the radicalism of the Scarlet Crusaders, and the racism and extremism that began to tend.

So he ran to follow Fordin, and this is how the Silver and White Crusaders were formed.

The division of the Silver Knights suddenly seemed a little unstable. This is also because with the help of Kane openly and secretly, he has his own foundation and develops better, otherwise I am afraid that it will become the three forces that will not enter the stream.

In this way, a very important point is that the major forces active in Azeroth, no matter which side they are, are not really damaged at this time.

The Scourge seemed to be a little unlucky, but after careful calculation, it didn't hurt much.

You must know that Kel'thugad did not come back to life after being killed like the original historical line, but always carried his regiment with him. This is very different, over the years, and after so many battles, a group of talents will inevitably be cultivated.

Like this kind of organizational force, what I am most afraid of is that the line will be broken, people will die and the government will be destroyed, and after many years, it will suddenly be broken and dispersed, and many projects that originally had potential will be lost. And as long as the leader has been in place and is not a stupid person, his set of ideas is accumulated over the years, and there are some achievements.

Kel'thugad belongs to this kind of person, he successfully escaped from Keldaron, and the psychic mage series and the white bone series at hand are very impressive, far stronger than the original history line.

In addition, the Lich King has a tonic that the original history line didn't have, the Eternal Dragon.

In addition to providing prophetic messages, the Eternal Dragon can also open the gates of time and space. Moreover, not all of the planned actions were stopped and failed like the old Hillsbrad Hills of the original history line (which changed the history of Thrall's escape from Dunhold), the Black Swamp (which changed the history of Medivan opening the Dark Gate), and the purification of Stratholme (which changed the history of the Arthas massacre).

In fact, this is also the reason why the Lich King dared to betray the Burning Legion twice when the situation seemed very unfavorable (the first time was as the spiritual leader of the tribe, and he did not hesitate to tear Draenor and his descendants to escape, but was captured). He could have strengthened himself by cooperating with the Eternal Dragon and gaining benefits from other planes.

At the same time, the Lich King's choice to rescue Arthas and unite with him was also influenced by the Eternal Dragon, after all, after looking at the past of multiple parallel worlds (many of which can only be seen, but cannot be intervened for one reason or another), Neozu found that Arthas's potential is indeed possible, and the version of him that is one with Arthas is the strongest.

To sum up, the Lich King seems to have lost his southern expedition, lost his troops, betrayed his relatives, and slipped back to the icy continent of Northrend, as well as the gradually developing Freemasonic siege, which seems to be just surviving, but it is not.

The Lich King's skills are already relatively high, and there are also unique features, and the joining of the Eternal Dragon has made it possible for him to obtain resources from other worlds and strengthen himself. And the departure and rebellion of the Dreaddemon King and others cannot be regarded as removing the discordant factors within the group, so it is still a pivotal pole, and if you don't pay attention to it and give it time to develop, you can surprise the whole world one day.

Of course, the Eternal Dragon is not a benevolent hall. They collaborated with the Lich King primarily for his skills and achievements in the realm of souls and immortals.

There's a saying that the more people I've met, the more I like dogs.

The bronze dragons also have similar feelings, the reason why they turn into eternal dragons is largely because they have seen too much rise and fall, and then think that they have seen the so-called righteous rice soup instilled in them by the Titan lineage.

This is actually one of the points that Kane has always criticized the Titans, that the commissions and appointments of the management are too hasty, and they are all bookish parties that have not really been tested in practice. It can be said that the better, nobler, and purer the ideals that this kind of goods upheld at the beginning, the easier it is to blacken and degenerate when they enter the real world, and turn from one extreme to another.

In this respect, Kane clearly relied more on the wisdom of the East of his origin. The four words of 'Zhongzheng and peace' have great wisdom in chewing carefully. Left and right, too fast, too slow, radical procrastination, all will have problems.

After believing that they had seen through the world and no longer believed in the words of the Titans, the Bronze Dragons would inevitably look for a new 'Tao' to fill the confusion in their hearts.

Then they discovered that chaos is the trend in the direction of the evolution of the universe, and darkness is the true eternity.

The tragedy is that as a titan creation, the bronze dragon is order-oriented and natural-oriented. It is one of the many sampan boats that appear against the general trend of the universe.

In order to break free from their limitations once and for all, the Eternal Dragons embark on their quest to work with the Lich King, but this is just one of the projects.

The key point of this project is that the Lich King and Kel'thugad are extraordinary in the direction of immortality and souls, which is not by going to a certain time and space and skillfully seizing the technology of the Lich King, but by the Lich King actively publicizing certain topics in order to satisfy the Eternal Dragons.

When it comes to the changes of the Lich King in the past few years, we have to mention the geological weapons.

Kane's hunch back then and his plan to go to the Broken Islands at a speed to see if the geological weapon was activated by the super-large magic array there, if so, it should be taken down, the idea of destroying and destroying is right, there is a first time, there is a second time, the Nth time.

With this weapon, the Lich King managed to inflict a lot of losses on the Alliance during Kane's absence.

Not only the city of Garin in the kingdom of Falken, but also the city of Plaralus in Kurtiras, the royal city of Gilneth, the city of Dalaran, the castle of Ironforge, and the city of Silvermoon in Quel'Salas have all been attacked by geological weapons.

Kane didn't say anything more, and even took the Red Dragon Queen, the Green Dragon Queen and the elite backbone to the Otherworld, which greatly weakened the bench thickness of Azeroth's orderly and good camp.

The Blue Dragons are actively preparing for the destruction of the world with the mad Malygos in Kodala. The green dragon was already plagued by the Emerald Nightmare, and he lost his backbone. The red dragon has not yet recovered from the loss of being enslaved by the demonic soul, the queen and the backbone are gone without a trace, the bronze dragon is playing with the left and right hands (now and in the future), and he can't care about anything else, the black dragon is already in vain, and it would be good not to take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Therefore, the Guardian Dragon series is equivalent to being wasted.

Without them, just relying on the demigod Cenarius, he can't hold it, and Cenarius is not idle, and the insects are ready to move, seeing that the second battle of quicksand is about to start, and Cenarius has been stationed in Angolo Crater for a long time, what else do you want?

It was against this backdrop that Illidan Fury made his debut, which dramatically changed the global landscape of Azeroth.
