Chapter 1012: Astral Mage's Worries
There is a good saying, knowing the son is not the mother.
During his years of seclusion in the Dust Swamp, Egwen discovered that Medivin and himself were carved out of the same mold in some of his foul temper.
Such as stubbornness.
But at the same time, Egwen also noticed the differences in Medivan's personality from his own.
Gradually freed from the frivolity of her youth, Egwene has long recognized the importance of responsibility, but her sense of responsibility is dwarfed by that of the long-guilty Medivan.
As Egwene explains, the resurrected Medivan had serious self-destructive tendencies, and he had already intended to sacrifice everything he had for his sins, including his hard-won second life.
As early as the beginning of the First Orc War, the Stormwind Kingdom, which gradually understood the progress of the orc civilization, had been strange.
With the development of the orc civilization, how did they create a dark portal that could cross the interstellar space?
To use an inappropriate analogy, it's like someone using a hammer to knock out a space battleship that can travel at sub-light speeds, which is outrageous and completely illogical.
After learning that behind the orcs was the Burning Legion, which was burning and looting across the Star Sea, the answer to this question seemed to be answered, and most people thought that the technology to build the Dark Gate was provided by the Burning Legion.
But is that really the case?
Yes, but not all.
The blueprints and plans for the construction of the Dark Gate, which spanned the two realms, were taught to Gul'dan by the well-read guardian Medivan.
To be precise, it was Medivan, who was confused by Sargeras's distraction.
Before Medivan's death, his behavior was not rigidly manipulated by the Demon King, what Sargeras did was mental suggestion and inducement, subtly changing Medivan's behavior pattern.
In other words, today's Medivan remembers everything he has done clearly, but because of different thinking logics, it is difficult for Medivan to recognize the huge mistakes he made at the beginning, and he suffers from the long-term torture of guilt.
Medivan clearly remembers that it was he who single-handedly put the orcs and the Burning Legion behind them into Azeroth, and his logic at that time was actually to use the orcs to "test" the kingdoms of Azeroth, which had been at peace for a long time and were only busy with infighting.
In retrospect, what a ridiculous and arrogant idea.
When did the Azeroth Civilization Wheel get a single individual to decide whether or not to accept the trial? And it is also an outrageous way to lead foreign enemies to invade.
However, in the opinion of Medivan, who was under the influence of Sargeras at the time, he did not think that there was anything wrong with his decision.
Fifteen years have passed since the orcs invaded Azeroth.
In the years since the Horde's defeat, the Dark Gate has been closed from the Draenor side by the Alliance Expeditionary Force, and most of the orcs have been thrown into the asylum and never again regained their former courage due to the effects of demonic blood.
However, the series of problems caused by the orc invasion remained, and only temporarily dormant.
After many years, the Dark Gate is ready to move again, and Medivan, like Saljan's speculation, is that the Burning Legion is playing ghost on Draenor's side.
As Lordaeron's power declined, more and more shelters were breached by orc guerrillas led by Orgrim and Hellroar.
If a large number of orcs are regrouped under the command of these two foreign hardliners who have participated in countless wars, one day in the future, the gradually recovering orcs will still pose a big threat to Azeroth.
During the time he wandered back into the Twisted Void in his soul form, the Astral Mage saw many visions of the future and heard a lot about their plans from the Burning Legion.
In the future of the Orcs, Medivan sees an atypical orc named Thrall.
Unlike other orcs, Thrall was raised by humans and was educated in the three views of humans from an early age, and the tribe led by him took a more moderate stance towards the human-dominated alliance.
For the past few years, Medivan has been trying to go out to find the next generation of the tribe's great chieftain who will sooner or later embark on the path of salvation, and guide him to deal with the potential threat of the orcs, an alien race.
The Orc's home world, Draenor, is hopeless.
Even if it hadn't been shattered into the Outlands by Naozu's reckless act of tearing through the space, Draenor, who had been deeply eroded by evil energy, would have died a slow death, and sooner or later would no longer be habitable for any living being.
Medivan intends to use the joint fight against the Burning Legion as an opportunity to officially integrate the orcs who have been outside the Azeroth civilization into this new home.
As for the problem of the Dark Gate, Medivan could not think of a proper solution for the time being.
The interstellar portal he had built was unusually strong, and the technique was not taught to him by Medivan himself, but by Sargeras.
When the expeditionary force decided to stay behind Draenor, Khadgar attempted to channel the artifact's power to blow up the Dark Gate from the other side.
He succeeded, but not completely.
The basic framework of the Dark Gate is still intact, Khadgar has only destroyed the teleportation path connecting the two worlds, and the Burning Legion can begin to repair the Dark Gate that has not been completely destroyed.
After breaking free from the influence of Sargeras's consciousness, Medivan also lost the knowledge given by the Demon King, and he did not know how to completely destroy this large spatial portal connecting the two worlds.
Demons, unlike mortal races, do not need food or water, and can stay in Draenor for long periods of time, even when they are on the verge of death due to evil energy.
After all, the current base camp of the Burning Legion, Argus, is like this, and I don't see the demon being unable to live because of this.
Medivan's vision was for the Azeroth side to hold the Dark Gate, the entrance to Azeroth, to bear enormous logistical and military pressure.
Listening to Medivan's concerns, Sarrenmo rubbed his chin and offered a plan that had not yet been formalized.
"I have an immature idea of how to defend the Dark Gate, and indeed Draenor in general."
"Oh?" Medivan said curiously, "I would like to hear about it." ”
Sarjan: "Astral Mage, although you have been living in seclusion in the dust swamp for the past few years, you must have never given up paying attention to the world situation, right?" ”
"Have you heard of another race that is also emerging in Northrend that also doesn't need any logistical supplies—the undead?"
……
Given the restless nature of that Neozu, he would never have been acting at the behest of the Burning Legion.
As a result, Sarjan's plan to use the Scourge to attract the attention of the Burning Legion would sooner or later be interrupted by an accident.
At that point, the Scourge led by Naozu will be of no value to both the Burning Legion and Azeroth.
Note that it is the Scourge under the leadership of Naozu.
The existence of the undead of natural disasters has become an objective fact, and their scale will be further expanded in the foreseeable future.
Salian didn't want to raise tigers, and sooner or later, the problem of the Scourge Legion's massive number of undead would have to be solved.
How did Naozu control such a large number of scourge undead?
Answer: Eucalyptus is the helmet of domination.
If we continue to think deeply along this line of thought, the road ahead will be clearer.
Sareen has no interest in the unfamiliar white-eyed wolf of Neozu, and he needs a new Lich King with a heart for Azeroth who can control all the undead in unison.
It is not yet known who this person will be, but Salian has several alternative targets.
One of them is the saint Alonthos Fao, who has been transformed into the undead, and with his free will as the leader, Sarean can safely entrust him with the responsibility of commanding all the undead.
The second candidate is Alsace.
Of course, not the current Prince Lordaeron, who is still confused.
Before Sarren departed from Quel'Salas, Kel'thugad sent an update.
After several hesitations, Alsace, eager to prove himself, tentatively agreed with him...... Or rather, the Lich King's solicitation intends to practice his ideas in a different way than Galia.
At this stage, Arthas is not planning to leave Lordaeron, he wants to see the potential of the Scourge in Kel'thugad's mouth, and test whether they can afford to carry their ideas.
The Lich King is imprisoned in Northrend, and the Whiplash Neozu can't be at Arthas's side at all times, and he has to devote a lot of energy to managing the growing Scourge Legion.
So who will be the one who will stay with Alsace for a long time?
The answer is self-explanatory, the Great Lich Kel'thugad.
With Kel'thugad, an inner ghost, who had long instilled certain ideas of deliberate guidance in Arthas's side, Sarjan believed that Arthas, who was in a period of confusion, would soon be shaken by a set of rhetoric he had specially concocted.
Today's Arthas is not the completely depraved death knight of the original history, he is just a little rebellious because of his youth, he wants to prove that he is right, and he does not intend to turn his back on his homeland and join the enemies of Azeroth.
The next thing K'l'Ultugad needs to do, then, is to guide him to look closely at the Burning Legion, the sponsor behind the Scourge Legion.
However, this is only a matter of Sarjan's assumptions for the time being, and it is still unknown whether Arthas will grow as he expected.
The third option is not very reliable, and Sarian has a crush on the third generation of the Lich King from the original history, Bervar Vortagen.
History has proven that Bervar has done a good job as the Lich King, and he has consistently stood in the shoes of Azeroth, leading the Scourge to cooperate with other races in the fight against foreign enemies.
But Bowwal is still alive and well, and because Sarayan has drastically revised the course of history, it is likely that he will not have the same experience as the original history, and can only be listed as a last resort.
"The Undead......
As Sarren said, as an astral mage who can roam the realms in soul form at any time, Medivan has a way to understand the situation in the world even without leaving her home.
The Scourge is still a fledgling force, but Medivan, determined to atone for the safety of Azeroth, has noticed their meteoric rise.
The knowledgeable and all-encompassing Medivan had also had a deep understanding of psychic spells, and he knew how difficult it could be to deal with a force like the Scourge that snowballed with psychic magic once it grew.
"Sarean, are you sure you can sway the Scourge Legion? In case they form an uncontrollable tail......"
Salian shook his head, "I can't guarantee that I'll be able to hold the Scourge Legion in my hands, but I'm at least sure that I won't let them deviate significantly." ”
"After all...... For example, the number two person above 10,000 people under one person in the Calamity Legion today is the senior spy I planted in advance. ”
