For more than 25,000 years, Hatton fantasized more than once about the day when Antorus would be captured and Argus would be restored.

Yes, fantasy.

Hatton himself knew that it was impossible for his group of Shattered Ones, who could barely survive under the pursuit of the Burning Legion, to achieve this ambition, it was only a beautiful fantasy after all.

Not to mention whether he could defeat the Burning Legion, which was so powerful that it could dominate most of the universe, with his knowledge, he couldn't even think of how to restore Argus, who had long been deeply eroded by evil energy.

Once upon a time, the powerful influence of the Ereda civilization in its heyday made Argus a beacon of civilization that everyone in the universe yearns for.

However, time has passed, and Agus has long since lost his former bravery, and has become a stinky ditch flowing with evil green water everywhere.

Not to mention Hatton, even Vandal Deerhelm, who has been deeply cultivating the way of the druids for thousands of years and has successively purified many eroded areas of Azeroth and Drano, saw the current situation of Argus, and his scalp was numb, and he couldn't find an entry point to start purifying.

Sarjan had recently discussed this issue with the pragmatic druids, led by Van Dal.

By the way, the so-called doers of the Druids are those who have no intention of getting involved in politics and only want to devote themselves to the Druid's ideas.

In Vandal Deerhelm's view, Malfurion, who single-handedly founded the Druid faction, was a druid, but he was no longer pure as a druid, and his thinking about issues was inevitably mixed with mundane political considerations.

It can be said that today Malfurion is a qualified politician and a good leader of the country, but he is no longer fit to be the leader of the Cenarion Council without his purity.

Malfurion himself was aware of this problem, which is why he gave the title of Speaker of the Cenarion to Grand Druidenza Giant Hoof after taking up the position of Speaker of the Night Republic.

Although Vandal Deerhelm is also a member of the Parliament of the Night Republic, due to his personality, he is more of a nominal member, and rarely actually engages in the political and diplomatic considerations of the flies.

Since leading a large number of pragmatic druids to Draenor to preside over the long-term purification project, Van Dahl has not been involved in important decisions at the national level for a long time, and at most he has exercised his power as a parliamentarian to vote with the crowd.

However, it was Van Dahl's pragmatic attitude of not being deeply involved in politics that attracted a large number of druids who were also uninterested in career and sought to maintain the balance of nature.

Rensar Giant Hoof, who was in charge of the Cenarion Council, was more of an over-the-top steward, and in many cases he was only responsible for approving the special proposals submitted by the high-ranking Great Druids, and rarely actually participated in the projects they were presiding over.

Each Grand Druid of the Cenarion Council has his or her own area of expertise, and in keeping with Azeroth's increasingly cosmopolitan trend, the Cenarion Council is no longer a place to be a Night Elf.

The addition of the Minotaurs, High Elves, Kul Tiras, and Zandalar Trolls quickly grew the Cenarion Council and added a lot of work to the Speaker of Lensar Giant Hoof.

After all, the Cenarion Council is not an official political body, but a relatively loosely structured Druid League, and as the Speaker, Lensar Giant Hoof will not personally handle every project, and his inaction style has made the Cenarion Council enter a period of unprecedented rapid development.

If you want to say who is the best at the field of evolutionary erosion in Azeroth today, if Vandal Deer Helm is called second, no one has the confidence to buckle the title of first on his head.

However, at least so far, Vandal Deerhelm, who had come to Argus with the coalition forces, had yet to come up with a definite plan to purify Argus.

After some discussion with Sarjan, Vandal finally understood the crux of the matter.

It's not just because of the accumulated pollution of the demons who have settled here for a long time, but the root cause of the problem is the Agus Star Soul...... Or the fall of the soul of the world itself.

After being corrupted by the evil energy infused by Sargeras to the point of losing his mind, the Argus Star Spirit, nicknamed the Destroyer, completely lost the ability to communicate with people.

As the soul of the world of Argus, the nature of his own power will naturally deeply affect the state of all aspects of the planet.

To put it in layman's terms, the evil energy pollution of Argus is not so superficial from the surface to the core, but fundamentally changes the geological ecology of the entire planet from the inside out.

If the problem of self-corruption of the Argus Star Soul is not solved, even if Vandal can lead the druids to initially purify the surface, it will only be a useless effort to cure the symptoms but not the root cause, and will soon usher in a more ferocious backlash.

So here's the problem.

Is the Argus Star Soul still saved?

The answer is no.

Due to Sargeras's forcible catalysis, the Argus Star Soul was corrupted by evil energy before it officially entered the maturity stage, and even lost its self-will.

The current Extinction Argus is nothing more than a pathetic puppet who acts on orders, and even if the Burning Legion entrenched in Argus is destroyed, the Argus Star Soul will have no cure.

It is important to emphasize that this conclusion was not made by Sarjan, but by Ionar, the Mother of the Gods and the Oath of Life.

Ionar, who loves all life equally, made such a pessimistic judgment, which shows that the Argus Star Soul is indeed no longer saved.

Without the cooperation of the Star Soul, it is undoubtedly difficult to purify the environment of Argus.

Salian even considered abandoning Argus altogether and leaving the deplorable planet to fend for itself.

However, after witnessing the relatively preserved natural environment of the Eredas region, Sarjan changed his original plan with the persuasion of Veron.

If Aredas were to be used as a reference and the only remaining biosphere of Argus was spread to the surrounding area step by step, it should theoretically be possible to restore the original ecology of the planet through a long effort.

However, this project is not destined to be a huge project that can be completed in a year or two, or even tens or hundreds of years, but will take hundreds or even thousands of years.

And that's when the Burning Legion is wiped out, the Silencers who continue to corrupt Argus are eliminated, and the Void forces are banished.

It is impossible for the "guests" from Azeroth to stay here for long, and even Veron, who is the spiritual leader of the Delaney, does not plan to move back to his hometown of Argus.

This is a very real problem, and today's Argus is simply not suitable for the vast majority of intelligent beings, and the Eredas, who were once the indigenous inhabitants of Argus, are no exception.

The Azeroth Expeditionary Force can help Argus deal with the Burning Legion, the Silencer, and the invading Ethereal Shadow Guard, but the only way to restore the battered planet is to rely on the lengthy efforts of the Broken, led by Hatton, who have long since adapted to Argus's environment.

Through an in-depth exchange with Valeera, Hatton clearly felt the sincerity of her words.

This whole set of plans is not something that can be said casually, but requires extremely detailed investigation and research in advance.

Because of this, Hatton, who has become more and more stubborn in recent years, is finally moved by Valeera's sincerity and agrees to follow her to Eredas to meet with the leader of the coalition forces, Saljan, and ...... An "old friend" who has been separated for more than 25,000 years - the former Chief Archon of Ereda, the prophet Velon.
