The solution provided by Sharlayan's side can solve the biggest problem faced by the Draenei people today.
Many people are blinded by imminent problems and unable to see the overall situation from an objective perspective.
That's exactly what Maradar is.
In addition to being forced into panic by the many problems faced by the refugees, the Auchenai priests led by Maladar also have a fatal weakness.
Information is missing.
The many livelihood problems faced by the refugees alone require the Auchenai priests to do their best, and there is no spare time to find out the latest changes in the situation in Draenor.
In order to avoid causing unnecessary disasters, hunting teams that go out for food will choose familiar routes as much as possible. Now that the Bloodring Clan has been destroyed and the Alliance expeditionary force has left, they cannot find any channel to obtain intelligence.
Maladar knew very well how valuable the intelligence brought by Sarlayan and others was, so he changed his previous slightly cold and distant attitude and enthusiastically invited the three of them to enter Oakington for detailed discussions.
The food problem finally had a solution, Maradar's heart became active and he began to have enough energy to consider longer-term issues.
After following Maladar into Auchindoun, the three of Sarlayan truly realized how difficult the Draenei's life was now.
As the leader of this group of draenei refugees, Maladar, although he was too busy for many days to get any rest, at least no one would dare to deprive him of his mouthful of food, but his mental state was rather haggard.
Affected by the food crisis, most of the Draenei refugees in Auchindoun were emaciated and sallow. They sat in groups of threes and twos leaning against the wall, muttering, piously praying for the protection of the Holy Light.
"Holy Light..."
Having reached this point of depletion, these people still place their hope on the elusive Holy Light.
Sarlayan wanted to laugh in public, but he endured it after being persuaded by the barrage.
[Under such extreme conditions, it is a good thing to have faith, otherwise you will see the malice hidden in human nature erupt uncontrollably. 】
[Believe me, you definitely don’t want to see that scene.]
Sarlayan, who knew the nature of the Holy Light, never believed that this power was so sacred and worthy of so many people's devout faith.
But after all, he is not a Draenei who is experiencing suffering personally, so he cannot empathize with these people.
Under the barrage's persuasion, Sarlayan did not let his inner fluctuations show on his face.
As a member of the Backlight Blade, Valeela has received strict training in expression management since she was a child, and there are not many emotional fluctuations on her face.
Stellagosa had no such scruples, and she always had an expression of pity on her face as she headed to the depths of Auchindoun's tomb.
These draenei people struggling on the edge of life and death greatly shocked the little stars who had always been quite wealthy in material life.
After many hardships, the number of Auchenai priests has become very rare.
Under the introduction of Maladar, the three of Sarlayan saw a dozen soul priests who were still busy on the front line. They didn't even take time to introduce themselves, but politely smiled and nodded to the three of Sarlayan.
.
Through communication with Maladar, both parties obtained some information.
After the three large cities of Karabor Temple, Auchindoun and Shattrath were successively conquered, the draenei could no longer organize a large-scale army to fight against the tribe.
The group of refugees protected by Maladar is only the largest group. In addition to the captives captured by the orcs, there are also a large number of Draenei scattered in the mountains and forests.
Maladar also doesn't know the whereabouts of other refugee settlements, and just taking care of Oakington requires them to do their best.
"In other words, you don't know where Prophet Velen has gone?"
Maladar shook his head and sighed: "Since the tribe launched a full-scale attack, the Auchenai priests led by me have been operating near Auchindoun."
"We heard from the refugees about the fall of Shattrath City and the Temple of Karabor, but no one knew if the Prophet was still alive."
After the all-out war between the draenei and the orcs broke out, Velen led the draenei's elite troops to defend the Karabor Temple, but the final result... everyone knows.
Since then, Prophet Velen has disappeared, and Maladar does not even know whether he is alive or dead.
Sarlayan thought about it and did not tell him Velen's whereabouts. It was difficult for him to explain where he got this information.
Although Velen's whereabouts were unknown, Maladar provided Sharlayan with a piece of information that might be useful.
"When my personal guards went out hunting with the hunting team, they accidentally discovered the activities of another group of draenei refugees."
"The hunting team searched many times but was never able to find the exact location of the other party, but I speculate that their camp should be near the ruins of Termo Town in the south."
Valeera: "The town of Telmor? The draenei?"
Maladar's face became a little gloomy: "Yes, Telmo is protected by the Leaf Shadow, one of the seven Atama crystals. The orcs should not be able to find its specific location."
"But because of two bastards who took revenge for their kindness, the spell protecting Telmo was broken, and the entire town was massacred by orcs."
The two orcs who took revenge were named Durotan and Orgrim.
Yes, he is the former chief of the Frostwolf clan and the previous war chief of the tribe.
When they were young, Durotan and Orgrim were attacked by ogres during an outing, and their lives hung on the line.
The hunting party led by Draenei defender Restalan happened to encounter them and rescued the two who were still young at the time.
Restalan is a good friend of the prophet Velen and has always strictly adhered to Velen's policy of being gentle with the indigenous races of Draenor. He warmly welcomed the injured two people into Telmo as guests.
Many years later, the Blackhand, the chief of the tribe, sent the Frostwolf clan to capture Telmo.
With his extraordinary memory, Durotan recalled Restalan's spell to unlock the protection of the Leaf Shadow, breaking the city's protective spell in one fell swoop.
Durotan led the Frostwolf clan's army to flatten the entire town, and personally killed Vindicator Restalan, who had saved his life when he was a child.
"Ha~"
Sarlayan sneered and said: "Yes, this approach is indeed very orcish. It is commonplace for them to repay kindness with hatred."
[Ah... Durotan has ever done such an unethical thing? I thought he was a more upright example among the orcs. 】
[Wake up, the entire orc clan is a bunch of beasts. Even if they have not drank the blood of demons, their barbaric and primitive style is destined to have no chance of civilization and has no concept of etiquette, justice and shame.]
[Strength and glory? Blood and thunder? These are the civilized slogans given to the new tribe after Thrall, who was deeply educated by humans, came to power. Before that, the orcs were just talking about something.]
[They shout that glory is supreme, but what have they actually done? Look at the miserable condition of Delaney.]
[Even Durotan, who was portrayed as the tragic hero of the tribe, has done this kind of thing of repaying kindness with hatred. How do you expect others to be better? 】
Sharlayan didn't have any goodwill or illusions about the orcs from the beginning, and he didn't feel disillusioned at all.
However, some tribe players in the barrage seemed to be quite concerned about this, and some people were trying to excuse Durotan and Orgrim, saying that this was a war between the draenei and the orcs, and that nothing they could do in a state of war would be beneficial.
Pass.
Sarlayan ignored the quarrel between the two groups with pros and cons. What he cared about was the Draenei refugee settlement hiding near Termo.
No leader with outstanding ability can protect his people under today's difficult conditions.
"Telmo, if we have time, we will take a detour to take a look, but now we have more important things to do."
Maladar nodded solemnly: "We must first ensure that the road from Oakington to Nagrand is clear."
"As far as I know, the Warsong clan built guard towers at the entrance to Nagrand. I don't know if those guard posts are still guarded now."
Auchindoun still has a lot of matters waiting for Maladar to deal with. It is difficult for him to spare time to go out and explore in person, so he can only entrust this task to the three of Sarlayan.
In return, Maladar promised that as long as the refugees of Auchindoun could survive this difficulty, he would reach further in-depth cooperation with Quel'Thalas, represented by Sharlayan, in the name of Archbishop Draenei.
Regardless of whether Prophet Velen is still alive, at least the Auchenai priests will remember the high elves' helping hand in times of crisis.
After receiving Maladar's clear statement, the three of Sarlayan left Auchindoun resolutely and took off again to explore in the direction of Nagrand.
"Huh? Wait."
Thalayan, who had just flown out of the Auchindoun Labyrinth and activated the Eagle Eye technique, suddenly saw a small group of Draenei wearing animal skins in the southwest of the labyrinth. They were being chased by a large group of wild ogres.
The hunting team sent by Maladar mainly operates in the east direction of Oakington, and these people are obviously not from Oakington.
"Could it be that they are another group of refugees that Maradar mentioned?"
