Chapter 297 Little Star: Valerafera is unbearable, the advantage is mine!
Sarlayan asked in confusion: "What do you mean? Is there anything unusual about the Dark Portal?"
"Not yet."
Veles shook his head: "But the Backlight Blade recently heard rumors in Watchfort. Some people said that Turayan planned to destroy the Dark Portal from the Draenor side."
"Uh~"
Sarlayan complained in his heart: 'I can guarantee that this is not a rumor, but a fact.'
Since he was going to the unfamiliar world of Draenor, it was natural for Sharlayan to make relevant preparations first, and intelligence was also a part of it.
The Dark Portal was established by the cooperation of Medivh (Sargeras) and Gul'dan. It connected Azeroth and Draenor, which were originally unrelated, through this huge portal of evil energy.
As early as after the Second Orc War, Khadgar, Kel'Thuzad and other archmages had studied the Dark Portal in depth and successfully closed the portal from the Azeroth side.
But it turns out that this approach only treats the symptoms and not the root cause.
Ner'zhul, the third warchief of the orcs, led the surviving warlocks and reopened the Dark Portal from the Draenor side. This was the second invasion that occurred last year.
It's not an option to keep switching on and off. There is no way in this world to prevent thieves for a thousand days.
Invading Draenor this time, Turalyon planned to solve the harm caused by the Dark Portal to Azeroth once and for all.
The most fundamental way is of course to directly destroy the entire civilization of the orcs.
There is no need to kill all the orcs, as long as they can cut off their civilization inheritance.
Without the spellcaster, the orcs would not know how to use it even if they were guarding the Dark Portal.
But this plan also has drawbacks.
Draenor doesn't have a planetary defense circle like Azeroth. The world is a big colander, and anyone can step in.
There are draenei in front and the Burning Legion behind, just like a bus that anyone can get on.
Even if the legacy of orc spellcasters is exterminated, there is still the threat of the Burning Legion.
As long as they regain control of the Dark Portal, the demons can open the Dark Portal again at any time.
In order to prevent this situation, Turayan preferred to adopt the second method.
Blow up the Dark Portal from the Draenor side, and at the same time station a part of the expeditionary force in Hellfire Peninsula for a long time to ensure that the Dark Portal is always under your control.
This decision will result in the soldiers of the expeditionary force being unable to return to their hometowns and will most likely die in battle or die of old age in a foreign country.
This is undoubtedly an important blow to the soldiers of the expeditionary force, and Turayan has not yet made up his mind.
In the barrage, the Dark Portal is just a cheating device opened by Sargeras for the orcs. Once it is built, it is difficult to completely destroy it.
The expeditionary force in the original history did not die of old age in Draenor, but the next time the Dark Portal opened would be decades later.
According to the barrage, Danaus Trollbane, who is now in his prime and with thick hair, will become a bald old Mediterranean man in the future.
[Time is like a butcher's knife, it turns grapes purple and softens bananas.]
【???】
[Brother, something is wrong with you. Can you drive on this broken road? 】
Sarlayan ignored the barrage's daily banter.
Early the next morning, he said goodbye to Uncle Verless and Aunt Alyssa, who were still on mission, and returned to the Deep Shadow Manor in the southern part of the forest with a heavy heart.
Although he was granted the title of Viscount by Anastria, Sarlayan had no real sense of the promotion of the title and had no intention of doing anything with the title.
Nothing major could be done in just three days. During these three days, Sarlayan visited relatives and friends, and even took Valeera and Stellagosa to see his fiefdom.
As expected, this is the buffer zone for the battle between the high elves and the forest trolls.
After the Second Orc War, the forest trolls who suffered heavy losses fled back to Zul'Aman in embarrassment, silently licking their wounds, and have never jumped out to cause trouble since then.
But all high elves know that the forest troll will not give up so easily.
Once they take a breather, they will definitely come back again.
Sarlayan didn't have time to play hide-and-seek with the trolls at the moment. He checked the territory and set off for the next stop, taking Stellagosa to visit the Tree of Life, Sath'ala.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. With Melia crying and waving a handkerchief to bid farewell, the three of them went to Silvermoon City again, passed through the portal and directly arrived at the Watch Keep in the northeast of the Cursed Land.
Sharlayan has no intention of repaying Alleria and Turalyon now.
There are still more than 20 days before the recruitment deadline, and the Quel'Thalas expeditionary force led by Vereesa is still on the way, so there is no need to rush into it.
According to the plan, Sharlayan planned to go to Stormwind City first.
But just as Sarlayan walked out of the teleportation tower and was about to transform into a gryphon and take off, a slender hand stretched out from nowhere and suddenly pinched his long ears.
"It hurts, it hurts!"
This familiar technique of pinching his ears caused Sarlayan to trigger a conditional launch, and he subconsciously cried out in pain and begged for mercy.
"Sister Alleria, I'm already so big, so don't pinch your ears, right?"
"Hmph~"
Alleria Windrunner, dressed in military uniform, walked out of the shadows, put her hands on her hips and sneered: "How old are you? You have just grown up, and you haven't even passed your first hundred years. How can you pretend to be an adult in front of me?
"
After not seeing each other for two years, Alleria's appearance has not changed at all, she is still as gorgeous as ever.
But her expression looked a little tired, and it was obvious that she had been troubled by a lot of troubles recently.
As she grows older, Alleria, who was once as free as the wind, gradually feels the weight of responsibility.
She wasn't interested in the glory of Quel'dorei that nonsense from the old nobles of Quel'Thalas. The pressure Alleria could take the initiative to bear was the heavy sense of responsibility to protect Azeroth and her family.
Even though Alleria is often away from home throughout the year, the weight of her family in her heart is unmatched by anyone else.
In the original history, due to the unfortunate death of Lylas and his mother Liresa in the defense of Quel'Thalas, Alleria completely hated the orcs from then on, and she vowed to make the tribe pay the price of blood for her atrocities.
It was precisely because of this obsession that she resolutely joined the Alliance Expeditionary Force, even though she was separated from her most important family members and stayed alone in Draenor, in order to prevent the tragedy of Lylas and Lileza from happening again.
On my sister.
But... Sarlayan sighed silently after learning about the subsequent development, lamenting that God's will is playing tricks on people.
In Alleria's view, Sarlayan, who had been unruly since childhood, was very similar to herself. During those years of contact, she gradually regarded Sarlayan as her own family.
After learning from Quel'Thalas that Sharlayan and Vereesa would join the expeditionary force, Alleria felt mixed.
I am happy because I can see my younger siblings again after more than a year.
Worry was because she knew what Turalyon was worrying about, and she was worried that Vereesa and Sharlayan would also be left behind in Draenor, unable to return to their homeland.
Alleria knew Sarlayan very well and knew that this boy had a short temper.
From the moment she got the news, she specially arranged for a Far Traveler to keep an eye on the teleportation tower.
As soon as Sarlayan arrived, she immediately rushed over after getting the news, and pinched Sarlayan's ears affectionately, seemingly roughly, just like she had done countless times in the past.
Valeera and Alleria, who were childhood sweethearts in Sarlayan, were also very familiar with each other. When they saw her, they were like a mouse seeing a cat. Their whole bodies were on alert and they didn't dare to say anything.
As the saying goes, the ignorant are fearless.
Stellagosa was displeased when she noticed Sharlayan and Alleria's close relationship.
She originally thought that Valeela, who was protecting the food, would immediately jump out to stop her, but she didn't expect Valeela to keep her eyes and noses and minds, turning a blind eye to everything in front of her.
'what the hell?'
Although she didn't know what was going on, Stellagosa thought that now was the best time to stand up and declare her sovereignty.
"Cough~"
After sorting out her emotions and expressions, Stellagosa took a step forward under Valeela's gaze that looked like a warrior, took Sarlayan's arm affectionately, and asked with a smile: "Salayan, what's this?
Who is the lady?"
Valeela saw Alleria's eyes suddenly become sharp, like an old hen protecting her young, and her heart skipped a beat and she lowered her eyelids.
