A chess player like Kil'jaeden, who is good at intrigues, hates having plans out of his control.
According to Kil'jaeden's calculations about Ner'zhul's character and the determination of the expeditionary force, Draenor should have been torn apart by countless space turbulences under the indiscriminate manipulation of Ner'zhul who panicked.
But with Sarlayan's intervention, the development of things deviated from Kil'jaeden's prediction.
Ner'zhul happily opened the portal and planned to go to the new world. Unexpectedly, he fell into Kil'jaeden's lair.
The Deceiver pulled Ner'zhul's soul out of his body and forcibly read part of his soul memory. Only then did he realize that Draenor was not destroyed as he planned, and that there were still some disgusting Draenei around.
The planet is barely surviving.
Kil'jaeden was not sure what went wrong with the plan, and was not sure whether Velen was still somewhere in Draenor.
When there is a problem with the plan, it is natural to find a solution.
Fraudsters who claim to be chess players never like to take action personally unless they are absolutely sure.
The Burning Legion has long been eyeing Draenor. Considering Draenor's low threat, Sargeras only deployed a partial army to station near Draenor.
After getting the approval of Sargeras, who didn't know what he was doing, Kil'jaeden took over the command of this partial army and ordered them to arrange an advance team to enter Draenor to investigate intelligence.
Fel energy drop pods fell from the sky and were scattered across various areas of Draenor. Each drop pod caused huge turmoil when it landed.
The Burning Legion didn't care whether this would affect the local ecology. In Kil'jaeden's eyes, Draenor was just a world that should be destroyed.
The airdrop pod that landed at Frostfire Ridge hit the center of the ogre's knife tower fortress. The ruins of this already abandoned fortress were instantly covered by the spreading evil energy, and the entire fortress turned a miserable green.
The Frostwolf stationed at Vo'gall, which is close to the Blade Tower Fortress, was also affected by the spread of evil energy. The old and weak Frostwolf clan who stayed behind were coughing in pain.
The evil energy spreading in the air was inhaled into their bodies, causing strong rejection.
Sarlayan, who witnessed this scene with his own eyes, frowned: "Airdrop pod? This is simply a biological and chemical weapon."
The situation in Frostfire Ridge is not unique, there are airdrop pods landing all over Draenor.
The most unlucky one was Hellfire Peninsula, where a total of three airdrop pods landed one after another.
The Alliance soldiers in Fort Glory immediately sent out the news, intending to contact Grand Marshal Turalyon who was visiting Auchindoun as soon as possible.
Valeela said with a solemn expression: "Sure enough, the Burning Legion will not let us take Draenor into its hands easily. Turalyon is not afraid of having nothing to do now."
"Hiss~"
Sarlayan suddenly remembered something: "The Burning Legion is coming. In order to prevent these demons from invading Azeroth along the Dark Portal, Turayan will probably blow up the Dark Portal as quickly as possible."
"Uh~"
Stellagosa asked with a headache: "Then the Draenei..."
Sarlayan lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "The situation is urgent. We cannot let the Draenei and Velen fall into the hands of the Burning Legion. They still have value worth protecting. It seems... we can only kill them first and deal with them later."
Having made up his mind, Sarlayan sped up his words and said to Sinestra: "Dragon Queen, there is no extra time for you to think slowly now. Deathwing is indeed difficult to deal with, but the threat of the Burning Legion is even greater.
Above the crazy dragon."
"Instead of staying in Draenor, which is more dangerous, it is better to return the dragon eggs to Azeroth first. At least the hidden dangers of Deathwing will not jump out and cause trouble in a few years."
Sinestra sighed helplessly: "This is the only way, why at this time..."
Sarlayan turned his attention to Krasus, who also had a serious face: "Krassus, please help escort the dragon egg. I still have some things to deal with in Draenor."
Krasus nodded solemnly: "No problem, don't force yourself and evacuate this crisis-ridden world as soon as possible."
…
After parting ways with the dragons, Sarlayan left Gorgrond as quickly as possible and returned to Talador Forest.
Fortunately, only one of the Burning Legion's airdrop pods hit Zangara in the northeast of Talador, which was far away from Shattrath and Auchindoun, and there was still enough time for the draenei to move.
When the three of Sharlayan returned to Auchindoun, Turalyon, Kurdran and Alleria had already rushed to Hellfire Peninsula, while Vereesa and Khadgar, who had just returned from Nagrand, were still there.
Here, we are preparing to lead the army to march.
Time was running out, so Sharlayan briefly learned about the situation through Vereesa and Khadgar.
The vast Nagrand also received three airdrop pods, which landed in the ruins of Highmaul, the Broken Cliffs and the Rock Canyon.
The terrain of the rock-walled canyon is very complicated. The airdrop pod was bumped when it landed. The cabin was severely damaged, but the evil energy in the cabin was not released when it landed.
The three strongholds of Tara, Harvalor and Grommash'l quickly reached a consensus, temporarily putting aside their differences and working together to solve the immediate threat of the Burning Legion.
Prophet Velen was very sensitive to the movements of the Burning Legion, and took action as soon as he saw the airdrop pod.
He ordered Maradar and Nelly to mobilize the people of Auchindoun to prepare for large-scale migration, and he, Archbishop Onara, Vindicator Maraad and others teleported back to Teledor overseas.
Due to Sharlayan's invitation, Draenei sanctuaries everywhere have begun preparing to evacuate Draenor, and Velen's latest order has only accelerated the efficiency of their operations.
No mortal race knows the Burning Legion better than the draenei... After all, the eredar who are now the main force of the Burning Legion are their former compatriots.
With Delaney in such a miserable state, it is obvious that there is no way he can fight the Burning Legion. They need enough time and a safe space to recuperate.
Velen admires Turalyon's decision to stay in Draenor, and he also believes that Draenor cannot just give up completely.
At least enough troops must be left in this dangerous world to hold back the Burning Legion. Otherwise, sooner or later, the Dark Portal will be opened again by the demons, and Azeroth, which is waiting to be revived, will also face a fatal threat.
In view of this, when Maraad and Nobundo volunteered to stay and assist the expeditionary force in defending Draenor, Velen hesitated for a while, but finally agreed to their decision.
Velen's foresight of the situation bought valuable time for the draenei to evacuate.
The Burning Legion that has landed in various parts of Draenor has not yet expanded significantly. They are building frontline camps based on their own airdrop pods deployed on the ground.
Two days later, a large number of Draenei migration teams from Teledor arrived at the ruins of Shattrath, and the Draenei refugees who came north from Auchindoun also came to the ruins of Turem to join forces with those who came from Teledor.
Compatriots gather together.
After many days, Sarlayan saw Velen again. At this time, his expression was extremely serious, and a hint of worry could be seen in his eyes.
There are some draenei in Auchindoun and Teledor who have voluntarily stayed behind. In the foreseeable future, they will cooperate with the expeditionary force and fight against the Burning Legion coming to Draenor for a long time.
Deori, who has just recovered, will also set off with the refugee team, but unfortunately he will not be able to save K'urei who is trapped in Washugu.
Velen handed over this task to Maraad and others who stayed behind, asking them to try their best to maintain K'urei's condition and ensure that he would not fall into the void easily.
Under the current circumstances, it is obviously not the time to chat and reminisce.
Joining the Teledor Draenei led by Velen, escorted by the expeditionary force commanded by Vereesa, the mighty migration group drove all the way into Hellfire Peninsula.
The three airdrop pods on the Hellfire Peninsula are located in the northeast, west-central part and in the middle part of the Road to Glory.
Sarlayan checked the map provided by the barrage. The location of the airdrop pod in the northeast was called the Throne of Kil'jaeden in the future of the original history, and the west-central part was the Pool of Agona.
These two airdrops are relatively far away from the avenue that runs through the center of Hellfire Peninsula. Before the Burning Legion officially launches operations, they will not have much impact on the passing Draenei migration team.
But the airdrop pod that happens to hit the center of the Road of Glory is more troublesome.
It blocks the only way to the Dark Portal. Turalyon, who has arrived quickly, is leading the Glory Castle defenders to attack with all their strength, preparing to break through the legion base before it is completed.
Due to unexpected emergencies, Alleria originally planned to return to Azeroth with Vereesa, but changed her mind.
She decided to stay and protect the control of the Dark Portal from being taken away by the Legion, and to protect her family members in Azeroth in disguise.
