If there is really no other way, no one is willing to abandon the familiar home planet to fight for an uncertain future.
The concentration of evil energy in Draenor seriously exceeds the standard. Even if it does not continue to worsen, the evil energy that has penetrated into the water and soil of Draenor will spread step by step until it spreads to the entire planet.
As the wisest and most knowledgeable shaman among the orc tribes, Ner'zhul predicted the outcome of Draenor many years ago.
There is no hope for this world. The extremely polluting evil energy will sooner or later erode away the home planet that the orcs rely on for their livelihood.
At least, that's the case for orcs.
From Sharlayan's point of view, Draenor's situation is indeed very bad, but it is not completely irreversible.
When it comes to reshaping the natural ecology, no one knows it better than the Druids.
If Draenor is allowed to develop naturally, it will be equivalent to a slow death.
Due to the orcs' lack of knowledge, Ner'zhul's despair is understandable, but not worthy of approval.
With Ner'zhul leading the orcs loyal to him to leave Draenor, the Second Orc War has truly come to an end.
The war is over, but there are still many things to deal with in the aftermath.
Sarlayan has no official position and no intention of interfering in military deployment.
After the simple celebration banquet held at the frontline military camp, Turayan began to prepare for the next step.
He wants to select soldiers who volunteer to stay in Draenor. These volunteers will be stationed in Draenor in the future, and they may never be able to return to Azeroth in their lifetime.
In view of this, Turayan first chose widows and orphans who had no worries at home.
Before that, Turayan had to find a base where the expeditionary force could be stationed for a long time.
Fort Glory will definitely not work. This fortress guarding the Hellfire Peninsula can only be used as a bridgehead for frontline surveillance.
Due to the barren environment of Hellfire Peninsula and the excessive concentration of evil energy in the air, the manpower stationed at the Glory Castle must be replaced regularly to avoid irreversible damage to the body and unnecessary attrition.
Talador Forest, located in the center of Draenor, is a good choice.
It is connected in all directions and it is very convenient to go to any area. Turayan immediately saw the ruins of Shattrath City that was attacked by the orcs.
After learning the history of Shattrath City from Sharlayan, Turalyon planned to communicate with the draenei first and work with them to rebuild Shattrath.
As the matchmaker, Thalayan took the first step while Turalyon stayed in the Black Temple to deal with the follow-up work, and returned to Auchindoun with Valeera and Stellagosa.
When they returned to Auchindoun, the three of them received unexpected information from Maladar, who was full of surprise.
The spiritual leader of the Draenei, Prophet Velen, finally has news.
Contrary to Danmaku's expectations, Velen did not board the Storm Fortress.
To be precise, at this point in time Velen has not yet been able to officially contact the Legion of Light.
In order to avoid the orcs' front, Velen led the surviving refugees to hide on an island offshore Zangar long before the Dark Portal opened.
After Auchindoun was captured, the Draenei government-in-exile headed by Velen lost contact with Maladar and others.
The noise caused by Ner'zhul when he opened the interstellar portal alarmed Velen. Considering that the situation might have changed, he ventured to leave the island and return to the mainland, and was pleasantly surprised to meet up with the Draenei ranger who was out hunting from Auchindoun.
On the line.
The island where Velen is hiding is called Teredor, located in the center of the Zangar Sea far away from the mainland. Orcs with very poor shipbuilding skills cannot reach this location.
The reason why Velen returned to the mainland was not only because he noticed the violent spatial fluctuations, but also because he had no choice but to do so.
The evil energy all over the planet is still slowly expanding, even affecting the vast ocean.
Over the past decade, the height and area of the Zanga Sea have continued to shrink.
According to the calculations of Draenei scholars in Teledor, if the pollution of evil energy continues to expand in this way, Zangar Sea will be completely depleted in at most 20 years.
Now that Guinedal has long since crashed, Draenor is the Draenei's hope for survival. Of course, they don't want to see this planet hurtling toward destruction.
The tragic war with the orc tribe completely destroyed the confidence of the draenei.
Before ensuring their own safety, they did not dare to take big actions that might attract the attention of the orcs. They could only make some secret preparations in Teledor to delay the depletion of the ocean as much as possible.
The changes in the Black Temple allowed Velen, who had the ability to foresee, to see a different future in a flash.
Rather than just sit back and wait for death, it's better to take the risk and give it another try.
At Velen's insistence, the temporarily formed government-in-exile finally agreed to send scouts to Draenor for reconnaissance.
After being away from the mainland for more than ten years, the Draenei scouts who returned to Talador were surprised to find that the place was completely different from when they left.
The raging orcs have long since disappeared, and Talador Forest has regained its original peace and tranquility.
The scout unexpectedly met Auchindon's hunting party. Velen was surprised when he learned the news and decided to return to the mainland in person.
When the three of Sarlayan arrived in Auchindoun, the prophet Velen also arrived with the newly elected temporary consul of Teledor.
After that one-sided battle, the Delaney talent pool was somewhat lacking, and Velen took a long time to select before finally deciding on the new Archon team.
The Vindicator (Paladin) was taken over by the elite Vindicator Maraad, Archbishop Akama's deputy.
The team of scholars (mages) was handed over to the new Archbishop Onala, and the technicians were led by Archbishop Hataru's apprentice Andren.
The senior officials of the soul priests and rangers were unable to follow Velen to sea, and no new person in charge has been appointed for the time being.
In addition to these three temporary archons, Velen also appointed a special person to join the team-the first Broken to understand the power of the elements, the shaman Nobundo.
Nobundo was originally an elite vindicator under Akama, but was tainted by evil energy during the Battle of Shattrath and became the Broken One.
Unlike other Broken Ones who mourned and blamed themselves, Nobundo did not give up. He was still trying hard, hoping to gain the favor of the Holy Light.
Perhaps due to fate, the Holy Light failed to respond to Nobundo, whose body was filled with evil energy. What responded to him was Draenor's initial resurgence of elemental power.
Since Lusken was shattered, Draenor's elements were completely overwhelmed by evil energy and could not stand up for a long time.
After Gul'dan and other main forces of the Shadow Council left, the tenacious elements began to gradually recover.
They abandoned the treacherous orcs and re-elected the Broken Ones as the representatives of the elements.
Through Nobundo's efforts, the way of shamanism gradually spread among the Draenei society in Teledor.
"It is an honor to meet you, the great immortal, Prophet Velen."
Sharlayan was very surprised to meet Velen. He thought that this immortal who was over 25,000 years old had already gone to outer space to take refuge.
Velen is a priest who has been favored by the Holy Light. He can even be said to be one of the most powerful priests in history.
Just by standing in front of him, Sarlayan could feel the warmth and radiance in Velen's body.
Even for the extremely long-lived Derai people, Velen's age is already very old.
His beard and hair have long turned snow-white, and his old face is full of wrinkles.
But Viren's mental state was still very full, his eyes shining with pale golden light looked at Sarlayan gently, and a Naaru mark with a complicated pattern was suspended in front of his forehead.
Velen bowed slightly in response to Sharlayan's greetings: "Good day, my high elf friends from Azeroth, thank you for the help you provided to Maladar and Nelly."
Sarlayan shook his head: "I just did something that I could do, and it was not free."
A hint of deep meaning flashed in Velen's eyes: "I heard Maladar mentioned that you want to form an alliance with the Draenei on behalf of the high elves?"
There is a saying in another world: Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years.
Velen once advocated treating the orcs kindly, but in the end, the orcs brutally massacred the draenei.
Even if there is another hidden secret, the draenei have suffered a big loss from the orcs after all, and Velen's attitude towards foreigners will inevitably become more cautious and conservative.
Noticing that the atmosphere between the two parties was somewhat tense, Maladar, who went out to greet him, hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Three of you, please enter Oakington first and then discuss it in detail."
"Prophet, it just so happens that we have one more thing to trouble you with."
