Welcome, please remember the address of this site:, read on your mobile phone, so that you can read the latest chapter of the novel "Shadow Bear Tibbers' Journey to the Plane" at any time...
In the twenty-first spring of Azeroth's Dark Portal, during the season when everything in the northern hemisphere of the planet was awakening, a huge explosion sounded from the western continent of Kalimdor.
After the violent turmoil in the entire planet of Azeroth, one of the leaders of the Burning Legion, the invincible polluter Archimonde, who had easily broken through the defense lines of the three races and attacked all the way to the World Tree, was Then inexplicably was blown to death!
Perhaps, Archimonde would never have imagined that he himself would die so aggrieved and so suddenly; he would never have imagined that the massive power of the Well of Eternity that he absorbed into his body would be mixed with A lot of natural power, and then, naturally, those ancient spirits summoned by Malfurion blowing the horn of Cenarius, attached to his body and played a self-destruct and detonated at the same time The power absorbed into the body...
So, when Archimonde was extremely joyful and sad, and was delusional about absorbing the power of the Well of Eternity and surpassing Sargeras in one fell swoop, he didn't expect that he was tricked by a little druid and died.
The Burning Legion and the death army of the undead Scourge under him were defeated by the allied forces of the three clans who had been waiting for a long time... Finally, at the end of spring and before the arrival of summer, the allied forces of Kalimdor Their offensive began to enter the final stage, completely ending the war.
Illidan Stormrage sighed deeply as he looked in the direction of the Kalimdor continent across the endless sea.
Ten thousand years, he, Illidan, has been imprisoned for a full ten thousand years...
Ten thousand years ago, during the Great War of the Ancients, Illidan successfully saved the world of Azeroth for the first time in a way he thought was right.
But... at that time, he ended up in a sad end of being imprisoned forever!
In the watchman's dungeon, Illidan was imprisoned for a full ten thousand years... If the Burning Legion did not invade again this time, I'm afraid...he would continue to be imprisoned, right?
Ten thousand years ago, after the victory in the great battle with the Burning Legion, Illidan still remembered very clearly. At that time, before the Well of Eternity exploded, he secretly used seven bottles to fill the He bought seven bottles of well water from the Well of Eternity, which contained great energy.
Illidan believes that although the night elves have won. However, sooner or later, the Burning Legion will invade again.
The brutal war between the world of Azeroth and the Burning Legion is only just beginning! Therefore, Illidan firmly believes that,
Rebuilding a new Well of Eternity will surely save the night elves from the next Burning Legion invasion.
Therefore, he concealed it from everyone at the time, found a hidden lake on the top of Mount Hyjal, and poured three bottles of well water from the Well of Eternity into it, turning this lake into a second new Well of Eternity forever. .
Illidan naively thought that his night elf people would regard him as a hero... However, he was wrong, he did not get any honor due to the hero, and those cowardly and incompetent people took it as a hero. For an excuse, he was locked in prison for a full 10,000 years!
...
But now, ten thousand years have passed, and the facts have proved that his behavior at that time was extremely correct!
Let's see, if he hadn't recast a new Well of Eternity, why would the night elves kill that Archimonde? With their ridiculous force of nature? Or with the power of those misty moon gods? In the end? In the end, didn't it rely on the new Well of Eternity that Illidan created 10,000 years ago?
And now? Now, 10,000 years later, after they killed Archimonde with the Well of Eternity made by Illidan and smashed another conspiracy of the Burning Legion, their incompetent and short-sighted people have sentenced him again. A crime that didn't exist at all, and it was announced that Illidan would be permanently expelled from the night elves... This is really a great irony!
But... that's all, it's all over now!
Just like what Tyrande said to her after saving him in the Warden Prison: he agreed to participate in the battle not for those night elves, but just for her alone.
Now, the war is over, Archimonde has also been defeated, and he, Illidan, has already fulfilled his promise at that time!
So, from now on, Illidan Stormrage will use his own way to try to save the world of Azeroth, which is being watched by the Burning Legion! He will never pretend to be someone else or be manipulated by others again, absolutely not!
Not long ago, Kil'jaeden, another lord of the Burning Legion, crossed many barriers, contacted and found Illidan. He asked Illidan to help him destroy the leader of the Scourge, the Lich King Ner'zhul, who had betrayed the Legion and turned Arthas into his number one general. As a reward for destroying the Lich King, Kil'jaeden promised to give Illidan anything he wanted after completing the tasks he issued.
For this kind of devil's lie, Illidan has always dismissed it!
However, after he saw Kil'jaeden's strength comparable to Archimonde's, Illidan had no choice but to agree first when the situation was stronger than others.
Anyway, in Illidan's view, the Lich King, as the vanguard of the Burning Legion's destruction of the world of Azeroth, has also caused a lot of damage to the world of Azeroth. Then, he can try a little bit to see if he can destroy the Lich King Ner'zhul and gain more power with it, which is also a good choice.
Therefore, Illidan is going to find the Eye of Sargeras that Kil'jaeden mentioned to see if it has infinite power. Maybe, after the ceremony is over, he can secretly intercept some of it?
However, before that, he had to find and master a part of his subordinates who would take orders from him. Illidan never wants to experience the naked running and beating up other people's army by himself, or being beaten by other people's army alone! If he didn't have any strong subordinates of his own, he felt that sooner or later he would be captured again, and then locked up for tens of thousands of years?
Illidan knew it very well, Maiev of the Watcher, that crazy woman, she still couldn't forget herself! Now, he must still be on his way to hunt him down, right? If he doesn't hurry up to get some hands to support the situation, I'm afraid that when the time comes, he will still inevitably end up being beaten and caught by the crowd!
It is precisely because of this that the current Illidan has arrived here. He is standing on a reef in the Broken Isles, with huge demon horns on his head and a pair of equally huge demon wings behind him. After staring at the tumbling waves ahead for a while, he was ready to cast spells on this reef and summon the troops he needed!
At this moment, above the sky, there are dark clouds and lightning; above the sea, there are big waves and howling winds; a heavy rainstorm is coming, but Illidan doesn't care about the changes in the surrounding environment, and he still concentrates on casting spells on his own. ...
He is about to go to the Tomb of Sargeras in the Broken Isles, find the Eye of Sargeras that Kil'jaeden told him, and then use it to perform a ceremony to see if he can destroy the Frozen Throne in one fell swoop, and make Die that Lich King Ner'zhul!
It's a pity that there are many powerful monsters guarding the Tomb of Sargeras, and Illidan alone obviously cannot get what he wants. Therefore, he plans to temporarily summon some useful men. Those powerful sea monsters are sleeping under this deep sea. He has seen everything below from his Sargeras curse vision. He believes that, Those monsters will definitely surrender to him!
While continuing his summoning, Illidan began to recall what happened before. Thinking about how he was once again considered a traitor by his brother Malfurion and sentenced to be permanently expelled, Illidan couldn't help laughing at himself smiled.
Huh, traitor?
In fact, I was the one who was actually betrayed!
Until now, I have been hunted down;
Until now, I have been hated and cursed by the people I saved...
But now, my blind eyes allow me to see what no one else can see...
those idiots,
Even if they have perfect eyes, they are just a bunch of blind people with their eyes open!
but me,
But seeing farther than anyone else...
Sometimes, the hand of fate must be grasped by oneself!
so,
Wake up, all beings in the deep sea,
Heed my call, set off a frenzy of destruction, and destroy those enemies who dare to oppose us...
...
The torrential rain began to pour down, mixed with lightning and strong winds. Huge waves kept beating against the dangerous and ferocious reefs. The rising sea level sometimes submerged Illidan's knees and receded quickly, and then came up again after a while , over and over again...
Illidan just stood silently on the reef, letting the heavy rain and angry waves wet his whole body, and he just looked at those densely packed creatures that continuously emerged from the deep sea and walked onto the beach without saying a word. Huge half-human, half-snake monster of the deep sea—Naga!
"Oh, so it was you who awakened us? A powerful demon?"
After sleeping in the deep sea and awakened, Vashj, the female Naga with ferocious snake hair and four slender arms, slowly moved towards the demon standing on the reef.
She is actually no stranger to demons. In fact, a large part of the reason why she, Vashj, became what she is now, and fell into this situation, is thanks to the demons!
There is a torrential rain in the sky now, coupled with the dark environment around here, it is difficult for her to see the appearance of this demon, so she plans to get closer and take a good look with the help of the lightning that lights up from time to time. What does this demon who awakened them look like?
This guy... looks familiar?
The closer she got, the more Vaschi felt that the demon in front of her faintly gave her a sense of déjà vu... However, she dared to conclude that the one in front of her was definitely the first time she had come ashore and come into contact with it in ten thousand years. The first demon! Before that, she had never seen each other, absolutely not!
"Who are you……"
The closer they got, the stronger that familiar feeling became. It seemed that something was opening up the dusty memories of Vaschi that had been buried for many years.
When a bolt of lightning flashed suddenly, Vaschi took advantage of the flash of light and shifted her eyes to the face of this mighty demon. I was taken aback.
"You are... Lord Illidan?"
In the astonished and unbelievable tone, there was also a hint of ecstasy. She, Vaschi, finally recognized who the devil in front of her was.
Although the other person's figure has changed a lot, she still hasn't forgotten that feeling, and the cloth towel covering his eyes, even after ten thousand years, and it is still firmly imprinted in the depths of her memory. ...
"Naga... how do you know me?"
This time it was Illidan's turn to be shocked.
You know, he, Illidan, was imprisoned in the prison of the watchman for ten thousand years! Moreover, he was sure that he had never seen any Naga before, including the one in front of him!
So, how did this female Naga, who was barely capable, know herself? Not only do you know each other, but you can also call out your own name? Look at that tone, like an old friend you haven't seen for many years? For Illidan, this matter is really a bit scary...
In fact, he really just wanted to summon some helpers who could help him forcefully break into the Tomb of Sargeras!
"Heh... Sure enough, Lord Illidan, you no longer recognize me..."
Vaschi lowered her eyes and snake hair, and sighed softly, at the same time, a dim and sad light began to appear in her eyes.
That's right, think about it now, almost 10,000 years have passed, the two sides meet again at this time, but things are already different...
Illidan, he has also changed from the handsome and brave elf who was desperate to save the Kaldorei to the current devil... and she, Vashj herself, has not changed from an elegant and beautiful high elf, Turned into the current strange appearance that even she herself finds disgusting and ugly?
"Ma'am, I'm sorry, although it's a bit offensive, but who are you?"
Illidan just wanted to summon a group of powerful thugs, but now, he summoned such a female Naga who seemed to be very familiar with him? Even from Sargeras' curse vision, he still saw the abnormality of the female Naga in front of him. What's the matter with the silent and affectionate look the other party looked at him?
This made him, Illidan, feel uncomfortable all over. When the other party's eyes swept over his body, it almost made him, a demon hunter, get goosebumps. He didn't like this feeling very much.
"That's right... now, you have become a demon, and I... have also become this ugly ghost..."
After Vaschi sighed in self-pity again, he forced a smile, looked at Illidan on the reef and continued.
"Well, let me give you a hint now: the cloth towel that covers your eyes was given to you by me personally ten thousand years ago."
Ten thousand years have passed, and on the head of the other party is still wearing the cloth scarf she gave him after his eyes were burned by Sargeras, which turned Vashj into a cursed deep-sea cold-blooded animal like Naga Afterwards, a rare warmth flowed through the heart that had already become icy cold.
"You are... Vashki..."
In Illidan's mind, he quickly recalled the memories of ten thousand years ago.
During the 10,000 years he was imprisoned in the Watcher's Dungeon, all he had were these memories... So, he quickly called out this dusty name.
Back then, when he was forcibly burned by Sargeras and implanted with these magic eyes, Queen Azshara's maid, Vashj, took care of him for quite a while.
"Ha, it seems that you still remember me... Then, respectful Lord Illidan, what is your order for calling us now?"
Ten thousand years passed in the blink of an eye. Since being sucked into the deep sea and being cursed into this weird Naga form, it was the first time that Vashj showed a smile other than her sincerity.
"..."
I don't know why, but Illidan always feels uncomfortable all over his body! He faintly felt that summoning these Naga this time seemed to be a small mistake for him?
...
"Hurry up! You lazy people, hurry up and pack this batch of supplies into the truck! There is also the fodder over there, and the clean water! You can't miss any of them, and pack them all into the truck!"
In the camp of the four-clan army of the Flame Alliance, a logistics commander was loudly reprimanding the newly recruited strong civilian men, telling them to quickly pack the supplies needed by the army. Because their Flame Alliance army is about to attack westward, and as the logistics commander, he has a very arduous task.
In the 21st year of the Dark Portal, at the end of spring, when the snow has completely melted and this is a season suitable for the action of the fire elemental army, the Flame Alliance, which had long been prepared for the end of Archimonde's defeat, is finally ready to launch their The long-awaited spring offensive has begun.
Now, at the crossroads in the north of Darrowshire, nearly a hundred thousand elite flame legions from the Kingdom of Flame have gathered; 40,000 people; more than 20,000 people from the Dragonhawk Knights of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, the Farstrider Ranger troops and two newly formed mage groups; Plus some heavy armored infantry guards, they also have more than 20,000 people.
Nearly 200,000 elite troops from the four countries of the Flame Alliance gathered here, preparing to carry out a devastating attack on the undead natural disasters and the remnants of the Burning Legion in the west, which had already declined in strength, and strive to wipe out the Eastern Kingdom in one fell swoop before the end of summer. The entire northern continent!
Actually, as early as the end of the 20th year of the Dark Portal, they gathered here one after another, waiting for the leader of the Flame Alliance, the Flame Queen, to give the order, and the army can move, and then cross Sodo The Lear River broke through the defenses of the undead and flattened the Western Plaguelands!
Then, go straight to the west, directly hit the Tirisfal Forest, and approach the former King City of Lordaeron, and destroy the two Alsace and Kel'Thuzad who are said to have returned to Lordaeron. These two were almost destroyed. The culprit of the entire northern continent!
And now, with the Burning Legion defeated and Archimonde already dead, and the Flame Alliance having wiped out the Eastern Plaguelands, the entire territory of Quel'Thalas and the Hinterlands are sitting on massive With the army and countless strong and capable people, how could they still take these natural disasters of the undead in their eyes?
When they got the news of Archimonde's fall, they couldn't help but want to fight directly!
The reason why they waited until now was just to take care of the fire elemental army as the vanguard and main force. After all, in the northern continent where snow is common, it is not very favorable for fire elementals to fight against them.
But now, in the tent of the Flame Alliance's military camp, there were bursts of discordant noises.
"Why should the entire Arathi Highlands be given over to you dwarves? Can you hold the Eagle's Nest Mountain, where the Sardo Bridge is so important? I think it is more appropriate for us to give this Arathi Highlands to Lordaeron!"
The one who was speaking was the Grand Marshal Garithos of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, who was also the frontline commander of the coalition forces. After all, he is the only one who is good at large-scale legion battles. If there is no professional commander to coordinate, I am afraid that once the war starts, the fire elementals will be able to run all over the map. The original Battle of Stratholme is enough to explain everything!
He objected when the Wildhammer dwarves in the Hinterlands wanted to dominate the Arathi Highlands!
After all, the Sardo Bridge over there is an important military site linking the two continents, the north and the south! Whether they want to go south, or people in the south want to go north, this bridge is an important place that must be guarded! Back then, during the Second Orc War, the Alliance of Lordaeron and the Orc Tribe fought battles here.
Besides, after this period of investigation, the Arathi Highlands are one of the few good places that are not too severely ravaged by the undead. Once they immigrate there in the future, they don't need to be governed, and they will become the kingdom of Lordaeron. A fat place!
"You Lordaeron still want Arathi Highlands? Pooh!"
Lord Falstad of the Wildhammer dwarves spat hard and looked at Garithos with disdain.
"Now you have been assigned to Silverpine Forest, Hillsbrad Foothills, and the entire territory of Gilneas. Now, you still want to compete with us Wildhammer dwarves for the Arathi Highlands?"
Falstad? Wildhammer is a little upset. The generalissimo of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, his eating is a bit too ugly! So much land has been pre-allocated to them, and they still want to come to the Arathi Highlands with their dwarves? He decided that this matter cannot be tolerated!
"Because we have allocated a large area of the Tirisfal Glades and the northern part of the Western Plaguelands to the Flame Kingdom, the Arathi Highlands can be regarded as compensation and should be given to us!"
In any case, Grand Marshal Garithos will definitely not back down on things like turf competition. Especially the Arathi Highlands, a place as important as this one will definitely be the bridgehead for the Flame Alliance to go south in the future, a proper military location!
"I'll give you Lordaeron everything, so where do we Wildhammer dwarves from Eagle's Nest Mountain want?"
Falstad? Wildhammer is angry, this human being is too greedy! I want this too, I want that too, how many people are left in Lordaeron? A Hand of Tyr and Darrowshire are almost enough!
"Don't you also have a whole piece of Hinterlands? How many people do you have? Then why do you still want the Arathi Highlands?"
Garithos gave Falstad a look of disdain, and began to refute with disdain.
"The Hinterlands originally belonged to us dwarves!"
Falstad? Wildhammer almost didn't want to go up and smash the Lordaeron Marshal. He didn't think much of it before, but now, he thinks this human Marshal is so annoying?
"Most of the Hinterlands used to be owned by trolls! Now, let us clean up those trolls for you! Otherwise, you can still develop in Xin Saluo now?"
The Grand Marshal of Lordaeron continued to snort coldly at the dwarf lord with contempt. The Hinterlands of their dwarves still haven't been digested yet?
"The army of the Flame Kingdom cleaned it up for us. What do you care about Lordaeron? Don't think I don't know. Most of the cavalry you sent at that time were paladin apprentices. They were basically for training and consumption. Food!"
Speaking of this, Falstad got a little angry!
When the war against the trolls and other forces in the Hinterlands was launched, the Kingdom of Lordaeron came rushing over and said to support the friendly army, but what happened? They are all a group of recruits who have never been on the battlefield. Apart from wasting food and besieging some lonely enemies, they are useless!
"Okay, enough is enough for you guys! You haven't started to attack yet, but you guys started arguing first?"
Queen Sylvanas of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas couldn't stand it anymore, and finally frowned and interrupted the two of them.
The high elves don't want a place, so I don't understand what these two people can earn? Now, the entire territory of Quel'Thalas is enough for their high elves to slowly transform and repair for many years.
According to the reproduction speed of the high elves, even in a few thousand years, they may not be able to digest the land. Moreover, the current magic hidden is still haunting their clansmen, and the population has been in negative growth. The current total number, estimated It's less than 180,000.
If it weren't for the Fire Kingdom sending a large number of fire elements to help them clean up those undead and trolls, they might not be able to gather an army of more than 20,000 this time.
"Enough is enough. Arathi Heights is jointly developed and managed by the Flame Alliance, and the defense is also the same. You don't have to earn any more."
.Finally, before the Queen of the Flame Kingdom arrived, Shane Knox, the head of the Fire Demon who was standing on the main seat, spoke, and immediately set the tone for this matter. Don't try to grab it. Time to develop together.
It is a little confused, the current Flame Alliance is a relatively tight-knit whole. Besides, since all members of the alliance allow all citizens of the four races to travel and live freely, then the entire northern continent will definitely be mixed with the four races in the future. If this is the case, what is the point of earning more? Besides, with so much land in the northern continent, the dwarves of the Eagle's Nest Mountain and the humans of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, can they develop it? After the ravages of the undead, it is estimated that the next few hundred years will be an embarrassing situation with sparsely populated land.
"snort!"
Seeing that both sides were not playing, Grand Marshal Garithos and Dwarf Lord Falstad looked at each other, then snorted coldly and turned their heads away.
have to! This time no one can fall well, but it can barely be regarded as an agreement.
Anyway, the current Flame Alliance and the other three countries can be said to be under the fire element's light. If it weren't for the help of the Flame Kingdom, they might not know how miserable they are now! Therefore, they still respect the wishes of the Flame Kingdom, and since the chief executive of the fire demon has spoken, they will no longer argue about it.
"By the way, Your Excellency the Chief Manager, where is your Queen Anne?"
After the group waited for a while, Queen Kalia of Lordaeron finally couldn't help asking.
Originally, Lordaeron's Grand Marshal and other generals and commanders were unwilling to have their Queen Kalia go to the battlefield. Now, the Kingdom of Lordaeron is only left with Kalia, the only seedling. Once she has a little accident, it will be a big deal!
However, after Kalia knew that Arthas had returned to the Royal City of Lordaeron from Kalimdor, she wanted to participate in this operation no matter what! Because, no matter what, she wanted to personally ask her younger brother who had turned into a death knight, and wanted to ask him, Alsace, why he did such a thing in the first place!
"Uh...Her Majesty should have something important, it must be coming soon..."
Shane Knox rolled his eyes and thought to himself, do I want to tell you: Our Majesty the Queen is actually still sleeping late? In her schedule, sleep comes first of all?
Just after Shane Knox finished speaking, before anyone else had any reaction, a blue arcane light suddenly lit up at the door of the alliance commander's tent, and then an arcane portal was erected. After getting up, the Flame Queen they had been waiting for for a long time, His Majesty Anne, finally rushed out from inside in a hurry.
"Wow! Everyone is here? Then, I declare now: the army is attacking, start attacking! Kill that undead knight!"
Little Annie has been waiting for this day for a long time! Back then, when she was in Quel'Thalas, she was chased and beaten by that death knight, and was bullied several times by his undead army. It's a pity to see her. Now, it's finally her turn to be the flame alliance army. Go bully him! This feeling is really great!
So, just after she came out of the portal, little Annie gave the order for the whole army to dispatch without even thinking about it.
"..."
After hearing Annie's order, a group of people just stared at her in a daze, watching the little girl give such an order in such a playful way, which made them feel a little at a loss.
Like now, in this historic event where the entire northern continent is about to be liberated and the undead and demons will be wiped out in one fell swoop, at this exciting moment, shouldn't she mobilize first, mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, and publish Some thoughts and feelings, and finally something to boost morale, this is the formal process...
But now, you gave orders as soon as you came in like this, in such a casual manner... Is this really okay?
"Huh? What are you guys still doing in a daze? Hurry up!"
Little Annie was angry. These people had been urging her to come earlier, which made her make an exception to get up a little earlier. But now that she has come, what are these people doing here? Why don't you rush to lead their army? She can't wait to catch the death knight who was chasing after her, and then burn him with flames!
