The tranquil Hyjal Mountain, which has been the holy land of the Night Elves for 10,000 years, has been the spiritual sustenance of the Night Elves since the beginning of the Great Split, when the former homeland fell into the ocean.

The World Tree, planted on the summit of Mount Hyjal, became the source of the Night Elves' eternal life.

In order to ensure that this sacred mountain is not disturbed, the Sacred Tree Legion has been guarding the World Tree for 10,000 years, and any intruder who tries to break in will be mercilessly slaughtered by the Night Elves.

Today, however, this once tranquil sacred mountain range has become a huge barracks of hustle and bustle.

Endless barracks stretched around the Holy Mountain, where countless human farmers, orc laborers, goblin engineers, and dwarven craftsmen beat stones, sawed giant logs, and smelted steel, raising fortresses and towers.

The dwarf mounts the cannon on top of the turret, and the muzzle of the black hole is pointed at the plain in the distance.

The orcs arranged the ballistas in layers, decorating the barracks fortress like a hedgehog.

Human craftsmen built the city walls, laying out a tight line of defense layer by layer.

Goblin sappers lay mines in treacherous areas, and any intruder will endure the art of explosions.

The allies are busy with their work.

Malfurion and Tyrande looked at the felled trees, the mined ores, and the excavated ridges.

Despite knowing that the destruction of the environment was inevitable in order to build a line of defense, I still felt sad in my heart.

Malfurion (Grand Druid): "My dear, for the safety of the World Tree, for the future of the Night Elves, it is all worth it, the tree can grow again if it falls, but if the power of the Well of Eternity is stolen by demons, the whole world will fall into the end." ”

Tyrande (High Priest): "I understand my dear, I know that this is a necessary sacrifice, do not persuade me, I know the priorities. ”

A huntress sped up on a moonbladed leopard.

"Lord Tyrande, Lord Malfurion, and a new general of reinforcements has requested an interview."

"Of course, bring him up, and we must welcome our allies from afar."

Soon Garissus arrived at the Night Elf camp with several knights.

Garissus looked at the disparate surroundings with some curiosity, and behind him, Sylvanas looked like a curious baby.

"Salute to you to the Elven King."

"I'm not the king, I'm the Grand Druid Malfurion, the leader of the Night Elves, you can call me the Great Druid."

"Okay elven king, 1 I have brought five thousand craftsmen to build a ring halfway up the mountain, cutting off the main path up the mountain, and probably cutting down some trees......"

Malfurion sighed, "Come with me." ”

Sylvanas looked at the huge tree tower in front of him with the style of the Night Elves with mixed feelings, is this the ancient home of the High Elves, did King Darth Rema lead his people from here to the Eastern Continent 10,000 years ago.

Unlike the elven nobles who played with magic, the Windranger family was closer to nature because of their primary occupation as a ranger, and this time Kael'thas ordered Sylvanas to be the leader of the reinforcements that Quel'Thalas sent to Mount Hyjal.

"To you Lady Tyrande, I brought three thousand Elven Rangers, and I don't know where I should be stationed?"

Tyrande had a good impression of Sylvanas, compared to the savage orcs, rugged dwarves, and arrogant humans.

It was still the elven cousin who made her feel closer, especially since the other party was also a female ranger, which made her quite happy.

It seems that although the High Elves have fallen into the use of magic, at least some of them still retain their natural instincts.

"Ah, a compatriot from the Far East, welcome young descendants, we were once the same race, although the differences of 10,000 years ago caused us to go our separate ways, but now in the face of what was once a common enemy, it is a pleasure to be able to fight side by side again, may Elune be with you.

Please come with me, your Ranger unit and the Night Elves' Sentinel unit tactics should be similar, and you can operate with my men......"

One force after another arrived at the foot of Mount Hyjal.

Looking at more and more troops, Malfurion's heart was also full of confidence, and in the face of the threat of the Burning Legion, the intelligent races of this world were united again, just like the ancient war 10,000 years ago.

The difference is that 10,000 years ago, the Night Elves were united by many wilderness demigods, powerful beings such as guardian dragons.

But now the night elves are fighting side by side with mortal races such as humans, dwarves, gnomes, and orcs.

Times have changed.

A huge raven slowly descended from the sky and turned into a druid.

"Lord Malfurion, I have good news that Lord Cenarius has been reborn in the Moonlight Glade."

That's great! Malfurion's heart was suddenly excited.

The demigod of the wilderness can be resurrected by the power of nature, and now that his teacher has returned from running away, he is finally stable.

Before he could be happy, he saw Mavi hurrying through the coalition camp with a group of Shadow Guardians and coming to the mountainside.

Hey, did even Mavi come to the war?

"Damn, did you do it, did you get Illidan out of the dungeon?"

"What the hell are you talking about, Mavi, isn't Illidan locked up in the dungeon of Shadowkeep?"

"Just a few days ago, a few humans rescued Illidan from the Shadow Keep, look at the humans in those camps below, you still say you didn't instruct it!"

Malfurion's heart suddenly tightened, this unconscious younger brother, I'm afraid that he will cause him some trouble again.

"Calm down, Mavi, the humans are here to help us resist the Burning Legion, and now that the enemy is present, let go of the hatred in your heart, we have more important enemies to fight."

Mavi was about to go berserk, but a druid came to report.

"Lord Malfurion, Prince Aidan has arrived."

Malfurion's expression suddenly became serious.

"Mavi, we'll talk about Illidan later, now come with me to meet our guests."

For this Prince Aidan, Malfurion is also an old acquaintance.

It's not the first time the two have met, in the war with Angela Zerg, Aidan participated in the battle as a strong supporter, and even teamed up with Emperor Shenwu to kill Cthun.

Therefore, in the society of the Night Elves, Aidan has a very high reputation.

As the leader of the Night Elves, Malfurion always keeps an eye on the situation around the world, and knows a little more about the power of Prince Aidan to incarnate the King of the Ancient Dragons.

Therefore, Aidan attaches great importance to it.

Even personally descended the mountain to greet him.

From afar, I could see the mighty lineup of thousands of dragon knights of the Dragon Death Knights.

Malfurion (Grand Druid): "Ah, Prince Aidan, I didn't expect you to be here, it's a great pleasure to see the Burning Legion on the offensive and a mighty warrior like you is welcome in this difficult time!" ”

Murphy saw that Malfurion was so enthusiastic, and he greeted him politely.

Aidan (Lord Protector of Alterac): "Don't worry about Lord Malfurion, with so many heroes involved in this battle, it is impossible for the demon army to succeed. ”

"I hope so, I have arranged the best camp for your troops, right on the mountain, please come with me."

As a sacred place for the Night Elves, Mount Hyjal naturally cannot be allowed to outsiders to enter casually, so most of the allies have been arranged to be deployed at the foot of the mountain.

Out of distrust of the orcs, the orc camp was arranged in the outermost place, not even on the main route, so that even if the orcs produced any moths, it would not have much impact on the defense of Mount Hyjal.

The situation of the alliance is slightly better, giving a lot of unreleased areas, but it is only halfway up the mountain.

However, the Dragonfall Knights brought by Murphy received great preferential treatment, and they were directly arranged in a position at the bottom of the mountain, only one step away from the World Tree.

This is done because of Murphy's high prestige, and secondly, Malfurion is very clear about Murphy's strength, and this Lord of the Ancient Dragons is undoubtedly the most powerful ally against Akmund, so he naturally has to be arranged in a key position.

In case the mountain can't hold it, Akmund will kill it, and then it will be a decisive battle with him here, although Karimdor is large, but if the enemy kills this place, then he can no longer take a step back.

Naturally, it is necessary to arrange a few strong people to sit in charge.

As she arranged for Murphy's troops to be stationed, Malfurion thought to herself—I hope Illidan doesn't cause any trouble for me.

————————

Rumble! The heavy stone gate was shattered, and the ancient temple that had been buried by the explosion 10,000 years ago was finally opened again.

"Behold, this is the Temple of Sahrama! It is here that the Titan worshippers worship their 'gods', and the funny thing is that the Titans never respond to their followers, these stupid madmen can't tell the difference between faith and delusion.

Their only use was to dig up and preserve a few Titan relics, and I remember it was in this hall - yes, there it is! ”

Illidan reminisced about his memories as he blasted a stone door open again, his actions unusually decisive, not caring about the destruction of the temple by his brutal methods.

Behind the stone door, a large white-gold disc appeared in the sight of several people.

"That's right, it's the Mirror of Nogannon! The legendary treasure used by Nogannon, the guardian of magic and knowledge, is said to have tamed the wild primordial magic and created the magic web, and now this treasure has finally fallen into my hands! ”

Illidan said excitedly.

Gianna looked at the disc in amazement, the words Titan, World Shaper, Creation Net, these words sounded so sacred, and when they came out of the mouth of the decadent uncle Illidan, they seemed so down-to-earth.

This ancient disc has a rock-like texture, the two sides of the disc are so smooth that they can even be reflected, showing the texture of white gold, and the disc is surrounded by a circle of ancient Titan runes.

It feels sacred, ancient when you look at it.

"So what are you going to do with this thing?"

"Hehe, you don't understand." Illidan reached for the disc, but it was bounced open by a magical barrier.

"Hmph, these crazy people, although they are a little stupid, but the magic is quite powerful, it hasn't worked for 10,000 years, but it doesn't matter, I have time." Illidan said as he began to try to break the magic around the disc.

After getting along with each other these days, Gianna has already understood Illidan's character, although she is smart, she is very proud and confident, and she is the best in the world to everyone.

It is useless to plead for such people, and the best way is to provoke the general.

"Hehe, don't say it, I guess you won't use it at all, it's okay, we can study it together."

Illidan was once again bounced away by the magic, and increased his strength in annoyance, while explaining angrily: "In the Well of Eternity is the chaotic and disorderly primordial energy, which cannot be directly absorbed, even in the past, the mages of the Night Elf Empire could only absorb the free magical energy that escaped from it through meditation.

But the Titans are the creators of order, the shaper of the arcane web, and this Mirror of Nogannon can transform the primordial energy of frenzy into pure arcane energy, so that it can be mastered directly. ”

"So that's it? So all I have to do is take it and stand next to the Well of Eternity and draw energy. ”

"How can it be so easy, the power of the Well of Eternity is incomparably huge, and the body of an ordinary person can't withstand such a power at all, so you must integrate your own magic power into the magic net, and open up a mana pool in the magic net to accommodate the absorbed energy - ha, it's finally lifted!"

Illidan excitedly reached out to the disc, but in the next second.

The eternal frost of Bolerius!

A wave of ice suddenly enveloped him, and the frost quickly covered Illidan's body, and Illidan had a furious look on his face. Before he could turn around, he was completely frozen and turned into an ice sculpture.

"Gianna! How are you-" Sal was startled, not expecting Gianna to say that he would do it.

"What, you don't think I'm going to pin my hopes on this Uncle Night Elf, I've learned a lot from Lord Aidan in the past few years, and one of the most important is to seize the opportunity when it comes!"

"Don't worry, this eternal frost is the dragon magic I learned from Teacher Morgan Lisa, and it can seal all life."

"Gianna - be careful!" Arthas suddenly exclaimed.

Just look at the ice sculpture, and suddenly a green light lit up from inside.

Rumble! The flames of evil power have completely burned the eternal frost.

Illidan held the Aeginoth Blade and looked at Gianna with a furious expression, "Little girl, your frost magic is indeed powerful, but I am a demon hunter who has mastered the power of chaos, even gods will be injured by this evil fire, you can't trap me."

I wanted to share some of that endless power with you, but now I've changed my mind.

Pay the price for your audacity! ”

Demonic flames surrounded his body, green patterns glittered on his body, and a pair of demonic horns and a pair of demonic wings grew on Illidan with the surging power of demonic energy.

Arthas and Sal were in front of Gianna on the left and on the right.

Arthas: "I'm sorry Illidan, it's impossible for us to put the power to guard this world in your hands. ”

Sal: "That's right, you better leave, we saved you, you led us to this disc, even if it was flattened?" ”

Gianna: "Hehehe, you two guys are really naïve, how can a person like him give up the power that is close at hand, let's solve him together." ”

Illidan sneered with some appreciation: "That's right, little girl, it seems that among the three of you, you are the only one who knows the truth of this world, but just a few of you little guys want to deal with me?"

Hahaha, it's so naïve, even the Demon Lord is no match for me, so let you feel the anger of my captivity for 10,000 years. ”

The Demon Hunter flapped his wings and soared into the air, as imposing as the Grim Reaper in the sky.

Arthas's eyes lit up, and he saw a flaw in Illidan's flashy movements.

Step forward - Ascending Dragon Slash!

The battle broke out in an instant.
