Live broadcast: Azeroth Chapter 1061: 8 Years of Isolation
"**Better than ten."
Facing Khadgar's confirmation, Danas rubbed his forehead worriedly.
"Due to the tight blockade of the Burning Legion, we are short of major generals and cannot infiltrate intelligence personnel into the depths of the Hellfire Peninsula. The intelligence we can obtain is extremely limited."
"Based on their recent military deployment, most of their troops should have been deployed near the Dark Portal, and the garrison strength on the Talador border has been weakened... You should know what this means."
"The Door of Darkness..."
Khadgar rubbed his temples with a headache: "Why is this ghost so haunting? I really don't know how Medivh created it in the first place."
"call"
Complaining was useless at this moment. Khadgar adjusted his mood and let out a long breath: "Do you want me to help you convince Adal to dispatch the Storm Fleet to help us break through the Burning Legion's blockade?"
Danas: "Yes, now we can only seek help from Naaru."
Khadgar stroked his snow-white beard with a confused expression: "I can't guarantee success, but I will try my best."
"You first try to recall Alleria, who has not yet made any progress, and gather all your combat forces to prepare for an all-out attack."
Danas nodded with a heavy face: "If the Dark Door really opens again, this may be good news for us."
Although Khadgar was extremely intelligent, his political and military sensitivity was ultimately not as good as that of Danas, the acting leader of the expeditionary force.
"How do you say this?"
Danas did not explain in detail, just smiled and brushed off the entire topic.
"It's a long story, but in short, let's all take action first. I hope Azeroth can prepare in advance for the opening of the Dark Portal."
"If we can use this opportunity to form a synergy between inside and outside, maybe..."
"Sir! The scouts ahead have an urgent military intelligence report!"
Before Danas finished speaking, a dusty high elf scout, surrounded by more than a dozen fully armed soldiers, stumbled up to Danas and Khadgar.
Danas' expression became solemn when he saw the exhausted look of the scout who had been lurking near the border to gather information after a long journey.
As an excellent commander, he had a vague feeling that the fighter plane the expeditionary force had been waiting for might have arrived.
"Don't be anxious, calm down first and then speak slowly."
Under Danas's gentle words of comfort, the high elf scout with a tired face finally regained his breath.
"Commander Trollbane, a foreigner who claims to be the leader of the Ashtongue Deathsworn took the initiative to approach our scout team and said that he had important information from the Hellfire Peninsula that he wanted to convey to you personally."
"Greytongue Deathsworn?"
Danas looked at Khadgar next to him with confusion.
The "old" mage seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly his expression changed, and he took the initiative to take over the topic and asked: "Is that foreigner similar in body structure to the Draini?"
"this……"
The scout was stunned for a moment before scratching his head and replied: "When you put it like this...I just noticed that their appearance is very different, but their recurved hooves are exactly the same."
"really……"
Facing Danas' questioning look, Khadgar pondered for a moment before explaining: "If I guess correctly, this organization called the Graytongue Deathsworn should be composed of the Broken Ones."
Without waiting for Danas to ask questions, Khadgar took the initiative to explain: "The Broken Ones are a species that mutated after the Draini were deeply contaminated by evil energy. They lost the care of the Holy Light and suffered from boiling in their bodies all year round.
The evil energy tortures.”
"Danas, you should have heard of them. They are those humanoid beasts that wander in the wilderness and have long lost their minds."
After hearing Khadgar's explanation, Danas suddenly showed a look of surprise: "It turns out to be them, but didn't you say this before...haven't the Broken Ones already lost their humanity?"
Khadgar shook his head: "Even if we are both Broken, we cannot generalize."
"I heard from Maraad that among the Draenei who escaped into Azeroth, there are also some Broken ones who are strong-willed and still maintain their sanity."
"This Graytongue Deathsworn organization should be composed of a group of Broken Ones who have not yet completely fallen."
"Anyway, let's meet the leader of the Ashtongue Deathsworn first."
Khadgar touched his chin thoughtfully: "I have a hunch that he should be able to bring us some good news."
…
As the Burning Legion stepped up its offensive on the Hellfire Peninsula step by step, the expeditionary force, lacking reinforcements, was ultimately unable to maintain its defense line.
Under Turalyon's order, in order to preserve their strength, the expeditionary force reluctantly transferred the remaining main force into the Talador Forest next to the Hellfire Peninsula.
It is impossible for the expeditionary force alone to launch a counterattack against Hellfire. Turalyon, who was in urgent need of reinforcements, remembered the advice Sharlayan made before leaving.
After Alleria volunteered, Turayan sent a small team of elites to follow her to the Nagrand Grasslands to meet with the remaining Draini who were recuperating in Tara Town.
During the period when the Draini and the orcs were temporarily at peace with each other, in order to observe the situation of the crashed spaceship Guinidal at close range, the Draini secretly built a small town in the south of Nagrand - the town of Tara.
The power of holy light that the injured Naruk Ulay unconsciously released unexpectedly attracted the souls of the death orcs to converge on him.
Over time, the remains of Guinidal were regarded as a sacred mountain by the orcs of Nagrand.
Shamans who believe in the ways of their ancestors devoutly go to the sacred mountain they call Washu Valley all year round to worship and listen to the teachings of the spirits of their ancestors.
Over time, this tradition of worshiping ancestors gradually spread to all orc clans across Draenor.
Until the crazy evil orcs completely gave up their faith in their ancestors and embraced evil energy wholeheartedly.
Since the town of Tara was too close to the headquarters of the war-hungry Warsong clan, after the war between the two clans began, it naturally became the first target to be captured by the Warsong clan, who were stunned by the blood of demons.
As Grom Hellscream responded to Ner'zhul's call, he led the main force of the Warsong clan to Azeroth for reinforcements.
The only Warsong orcs left in Nagrand are the old, weak, sick and disabled, including Grom's son, Garrosh, who is suffering from the red rash plague.
After Garrosh was transferred to Garadar for treatment, the orcs left behind by the Warsong clan were living worse and worse day by day.
After a long time of not being able to wait for the return of the clan leader, they received the bad news of the tribe's destruction with the arrival of the Alliance expeditionary force. The old, weak, sick and disabled who had not drank the blood of demons were persuaded by Garrosh's letter to join them all.
The Mag'har clan is led by Gaiaan.
Today, the original residence of the Warsong Clan is deserted, with only a handful of elderly orcs who are unable to move around remaining behind because they cannot leave their homeland.
Most of the Warsong orcs who are still active have moved to Garadar in the north of Nagrand, near the lakeside of the Throne of the Elements.
The relocation of the Warsong Clan gave Maraad the opportunity to rebuild the town of Tara.
Maraad still remembered Sarlayan's instructions before he left, and he wanted to rescue the seriously injured and dying Naruk Ulay from the wreckage of Guinidal.
However, without many powerful Holy Light users led by Velen, it is impossible to cure K'urei's injury with the few manpower left in Draenor, and can only slow down the speed of his degeneration into the Dark Naaru as much as possible.
.
While Maraad and others were busy stabilizing K'urei's injury, Alleria led the diplomatic team and rushed to the newly rebuilt town of Tara.
After some hard work, Alleria successfully persuaded the reasonable Mag'han chief Gaia'an and reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with the Mag'han clan.
However, the Mag'har orcs at that time had not yet completely gotten rid of the red rash plague, and the help they could provide to the Alliance expeditionary force was relatively limited.
In order to attract more reinforcements, Alleria rushed to the Arak Peaks non-stop.
Relying on the important information Sharlayan left behind, she quietly intervened in the dispute between the arakkoa and the arakkoa exiles. It took more than two years to finally win the arakkoa exiles, who were at the end of their rope, into the camp of the expeditionary force.
In fact, Alleria initially wanted to win over the more powerful winged arakkoa who lived on the Sky Peak.
However, the arrogant attitude of the arakkoa nobles made Alleria unsuccessful, and she could only change her thinking to win over their enemies.
After the naaru headed by Adal arrived in Draenor in a storm fleet, Turalyon, who was worrying about how to stabilize the defenses of Talador Forest, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Since this fleet originally came only to rescue Draenei refugees, the fleet did not carry many troops. It was more like a migration fleet and was not enough to support Turayan's counterattack plan.
In desperation, Turalyon could only temporarily suppress his impulse and steadily rebuild the ruins of Shattrath as a new base camp with the help of the naaru.
About half a year before Turalyon disappeared, with the help of Muru, a Naaru who was good at healing injuries, Maraad and others finally successfully rescued the seriously injured K'urei and prevented him from degenerating into darkness.
The tragic fate of Naaru.

Originally, Maraad wanted to ask the naaru to continue their efforts to rescue Kara, the "Dark Star" floating in the sky above Shadowmoon Valley. Unfortunately, a large number of demons poured out from Gul'dan's hand blocked their progress.
In order to ensure that the backside of Talador Forest would not be attacked by demons, Kurdran Wildhammer, one of the five heroes of the expeditionary force, took the initiative to apply to go to the junction of southeastern Talador and Shadowmoon Valley to build a strong Wildhammer Fortress.
He personally led the troops and stationed them here all year round.
At this point, the situation in Delano has been stabilized for the time being.
The Burning Legion was unable to invade Talador Forest, thus threatening Nagrand and Frostfire Ridge further back.
The expeditionary force did not have enough troops to launch a counterattack, so the two sides were temporarily in a stalemate.
The order received by Doom Lord Kazzak is to reopen the Dark Portal, launch an attack at the same time as the Scourge, weaken Azeroth's defense strength as much as possible, and prepare for the arrival of Archimonde.
In order to complete the Deceiver's layout, Kazak did not hesitate to mobilize the garrison stationed at the border of Talador Forest and concentrate all his forces to attack the Cursed Land.
And this just gave the expeditionary force, which had already been preparing for attack, an excellent opportunity to counterattack.
"You said, this is Sarlayan Deep Shadow's plan?"
After listening to Akama's message, Danas, who didn't know much about Sarlayan, had yet to express his opinion. Khadgar first exclaimed in shock.
"So, Azeroth has long been fully prepared for the re-opening of the Dark Portal, just waiting for us to backstab the Burning Legion from behind?"
