Although Ner'zhul has not been to Azeroth himself, he has obtained a lot of information about the Alliance from Talon Bloodfiend.
Taking into account the existence of the Alliance Air Force such as the Griffin Knights, Ner'zhul used the evil power filled with black temple to set up a powerful air defense barrier.
Ever since Ner'zhul occupied the Black Temple, all the evil energy in Shadowmoon Valley had been concentrated into this temple, and Stellagosa had nothing to do with the energy-rich barrier.
But as the saying goes, every gain must come with a loss.
The anti-aircraft barrier, as the name suggests, can only provide air defense, and its protection against the ground is almost non-existent.
This was a choice Ner'zhul made based on the current situation. He believed that Talon Bloodfiend could lead the last elite troops of the tribe to guard the entrance to the temple and try to delay as much time as possible until he completed casting the spell and opened the portal to the new world.
At this time, Ner'zhul didn't know that Kil'jaeden, who had been watching from the dark, had made preparations in advance.
No matter how hard he tries, the portal that is finally opened will lead to the Twisting Void where the Burning Legion is, and the sheep will be put into the tiger's mouth.
Sharlayan doesn't care about Ner'zhul's fate, but for some strategic considerations, he hopes to minimize the risk of Draenor being torn apart and keep the world as intact as possible.
According to the information provided by the barrage, Draenor was torn apart because Ner'zhul was eager for quick success under the pressure of the expeditionary force.
Sarlayan planned to review Dudu and first observe the battlefield situation.
If the expeditionary force has any hope of controlling the situation before Ner'zhul completes his spellcasting, he will fully assist Turalyon and others in stopping Ner'zhul.
But if Ner'zhul had prepared spells before Turalyon, Khadgar and others arrived, Sharlayan planned to persuade them to postpone the attack, lest Ner'zhul jump over the wall.
Before landing at the expeditionary force's frontline camp, Stellagosa took a closer look and saw that Ner'zhul's spell preparation was nearing completion.
The vanguard of the expeditionary force has just entered the gate of the Black Temple and is still struggling with the defenders led by Talon Bloodfiend.
Sarlayan roughly calculated the time, and he was afraid that it would be difficult for the expeditionary force to penetrate the Dark Temple before the spell officially started.
Most areas of Draenor are contaminated by fel energy, and it is difficult to support a large number of orcs with only limited clean soil.
Even if the crisis is not obvious now, it will definitely severely restrict the population growth of the orcs in the future.
The orcs who still have fighting spirit regard Ner'zhul's plan as the tribe's only hope. They hope to find a broader and more vibrant world.
More importantly, only in this way can we completely escape the sight of the Burning Legion and no longer be used as a tool by the demons.
Ner'zhul hopes to make everything start anew and return to the orcs' oldest ancestral faith traditions.
For this belief, the orcs who gathered under Ner'zhul's banner showed amazing fighting power, which was completely different from the orcs in Azeroth who were decadent due to the fading effects of demon blood.
The situation on the battlefield reminded Turalyon of his experience fighting the orcs at their peak. At that time, he was still a young lieutenant beside Anduin Lothar, and witnessed with his own eyes the command of Grand Marshal Lothar Ruoding.
Block the orcs' attack.
Now that time has passed, Turalyon no longer has Lothar in front of him to protect him. He must rely on his own strength to defeat the orcs, completely crush the tribe's will to resist, and ensure that they no longer have the ability to threaten Azeroth.
This final decisive battle is the collision of beliefs and wills of both sides. They are both working hard for their respective ethnic groups, but they are just on opposite sides, and they can only fight to the death on the battlefield.
The high elf troops led by Alleria and Vereesa stood on a higher mountain, providing powerful long-range fire support to their comrades in the Alliance Expeditionary Force.
Although Orgrim slaughtered all the Shadow Council warlocks who entered Azeroth, there are still many remaining Shadow Council members in Draenor.
The high elves' fire support put a lot of pressure on the orcs who were desperately defending the city. Talon Bloodfiend, who was commanding the battle, decided to deal with these long-range forts first.
Under the joint spellcasting of dozens of orc warlocks, a huge meteorite with a radius of more than 5 meters fell from the sky.
This is a common tactic of the Burning Legion. When in doubt, they first smash a bunch of hellfire down.
The few remaining orc warlocks cannot rain down a large amount of meteorites at once like the demons of the Burning Legion.
They simply did the opposite and gathered their strength to summon a big Hellfire, at least to keep the high elves' long-range troops busy and buy Ner'zhul as much time as possible.
Alleria and Vereesa had already seen the meteorite falling at high speed. The two sisters drew the bow string together, and in perfect coordination, they drew the bow one after another and fired aimed shots into the sky.
It would be difficult to completely destroy such a massive Hellfire in the air, so Vereesa and Alleria planned to change the meteorite's trajectory so that it would not hit the high elves' positions.
The three of Sarlayan arrived just at this time.
Without enough time to communicate with words, Sarlayan took the lead in transforming into the form of a young dragon and ascended into the sky. Stellagosa was only half a step slower, and also resumed her dragon form and began to mutter spells and cast spells.
Valeela is a thief and cannot help in this situation.
She could only shrug with self-deprecation, disappear from the spot, and sneak into the battlefield to harvest the lives of the orc defenders.
Before Sharlayan came into contact with the meteorite, Stellagosa's gravity spell took effect first, and the falling meteorite stopped moving for a moment, stopping abruptly in mid-air.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sarlayan flapped his wings violently, shot forward explosively for a distance, and hit the side of the meteorite that was temporarily stationary.
"boom!"
The meteorite, which was boosted from the side, quickly began to fall again, but its landing point was greatly shifted due to Sarlayan's collision. It hit the steps at the entrance of the Dark Temple, killing a large number of people who were caught off guard.
of orcs.
Alleria looked at the golden young dragon slowly descending from the sky in surprise. This was the first time she saw Sarlayan transform into a dragon form.
The battlefield is not a place for reminiscing and chatting. Sarlayan didn't pay attention to Alleria's surprise. After returning to his human form, he asked straight to the point: "Sister Alleria, where is Grand Marshal Turalyon?"
Alleria calmed down and answered: "He is still sitting in the middle of the army directing the battle. Have you accomplished your goal? Where is Onyxia?"
Sarlayan nodded: "It's done now. It's a long story, so let's put it aside for now."
"Ner'zhul's large-scale space spell has been prepared. We now have two options."
"First, an all-out attack regardless of the risk may be able to stop Ner'zhul before the spell is completed, but it is more likely to force him to hastily speed up the spell, which will most likely cause space turbulence to tear Draenor apart."
"The second is to postpone the attack in a planned way, allowing Ner'zhul to calmly complete the spell and evacuate Draenor, and then take action to regain the artifact."
"I speculate that Ner'zhul at that time would have lost interest in artifacts and would focus on the interstellar portal."
Alleria frowned and considered the pros and cons: "I don't care about this matter. Come with me, and I will take you to see the Grand Marshal and Khadgar."
Since arriving in Draenor, Sarlayan has not met the legendary oldest young man.
Khadgar was once a young mage in Dalaran. The Kirin Tor Council coveted many precious magic books in Karazhan and sent Khadgar to Karazhan as Medivh's apprentice, trying to get him to copy the magic books and bring them back.
Dalaran.
In getting along with Medivh, Khadgar was recognized by the real Medivh who occasionally woke up.
Khadgar worked with Lothar and Garona to kill Medivh, whose body was controlled by Sargeras. Before his death, Medivh handed control of Karazhan to his only apprentice.
Unfortunately, he was hit by the curse of aging during the battle with Sargeras. The young Khadgar aged dozens of years out of thin air and turned into a wrinkled old man.
In the post-Medivh era, there is still a lot of controversy over who is the most powerful mortal mage in Azeroth, and Khadgar is one of the strong contenders for this title.
"Space turbulence? Draenor was torn apart?"
After listening to Sharlayan's analysis, Turayan's brows furrowed into a Sichuan shape.
If Draenor was simply the homeland of the orcs, Turalyon, who hated the orcs for their loss, would not have hesitated and would have destroyed it.
But from Sarlayan, Turalyon learned that there were many non-orc races in Draenor. These races were innocent and should not be implicated because of the atrocities of the orcs.
Undecided, Turayan looked for help at the professional beside him, an "old" human mage with white hair and beard.
He is the last descendant of the Guardians of Tirisfal - Archmage Khadgar.
