In the 8th year of the Dark Portal, due to the sudden arrival of the Burning Legion, the situation in Draenor, which had been calm, became turbulent again.
After opening the road to and from the Dark Portal, the remaining soldiers led by Turayan turned around and left resolutely.
After destroying a Legion camp, there are still two airdrop pods to deal with in Hellfire Peninsula.
Turayan planned to take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Legion's vanguard to strike first and weaken the enemy's strength as much as possible.
When the vanguard of the Burning Legion builds the portal, the next situation will become more difficult.
Alleria, Kurdran, and Danath all said goodbye to their close friends and family, and followed Turalyon on the expedition without hesitation.
Khadgar led the remaining mages to temporarily wait near the Dark Portal. They had more important tasks to complete.
As Sharlayan and others supervised the expeditionary force and the Draenei entering the Dark Portal, someone would jump out of the team from time to time and resolutely stated that they would stay in Draenor to help their companions fight against the Burning Legion.
In peacetime, Velen and Khadgar would not agree to these people's temporary decisions. They both have their own families to take care of.
But now that the situation is urgent and it is time to employ people, the principle of voluntariness is followed, and all those who are willing to stay have been tacitly approved.
About one-fifth of the draenei and one-third of the evacuation expeditionary force changed their minds and stayed. These people temporarily gathered around Khadgar, waiting for the Dark Portal to be destroyed before accompanying Khadgar and others.
Rendezvous with the main force of the expeditionary force.
The Wyrmrest Temple delegation headed by Krasus has already returned to Azeroth, and they are not clear about the subsequent changes in Draenor.
If there weren't many things to do, Sarlayan would have wanted to stay and quarrel with the Burning Legion.
After Velen and Sarlayan followed the last group of evacuees into the Dark Portal, Kader took a deep breath and exchanged glances with the mages beside him.
"Let's get started."
Sacrificing the scepter of Sargeras that had been prepared, the mages, under the guidance of Khadgar, began to extract the evil power from the artifact.
The gradually forming storm of chaos swept the huge dark door into it, and the dark green portal began to become unstable.
The destruction Khadgar mentioned was not destroying the Dark Portal on a physical level, but destroying the originally stable transmission channel.
Turalyon and Khadgar originally thought that this method of disrupting the teleportation sequence was more than enough to deal with the orcs, but if the enemy were replaced by the Burning Legion... Khadgar was not sure how long the Dark Portal could be closed.
In any case, with the current state of Azeroth that has just experienced the war and is in dire straits, it cannot support an all-out war with the Burning Legion.
The main purpose of closing the Dark Portal is to buy more time for Azeroth to recuperate. As for how long it can be delayed, this is not something the expeditionary force can decide. They can only do their best.
In the Cursed Land, on the Azeroth side of the Dark Portal, Sarlayan and others witnessed the entire process of the Dark Portal closing with their own eyes.
The whirlpool of evil energy surging inside the door gradually became chaotic and eventually disappeared. What is now visible to everyone is the barren land behind the door.
Stepping into a brand new world, temporarily freed from the threat of the Burning Legion, many draenei sat down on the spot and sobbed softly.
Prophet Velen frowned slightly as he looked at the poor environment of the Cursed Land. This place was different from the Azeroth he imagined.
The defenders of Watchfort have long noticed the strange behavior of the Dark Portal, and the alliance generals who stayed here rushed over immediately.
Vereesa, who was feeling a little depressed, regained her composure and told the local defenders what happened to the expeditionary force in Draenor in as short a language as possible.
The crisis for the Draenei has been temporarily resolved, but they still have many problems to face in the future.
The primary issue at the moment is to find a suitable new home and gain recognition from all countries in Azeroth through practical actions.
Velen was not familiar with Azeroth, so he could only entrust this important task to Sharlayan, the local snake responsible for contacting the draenei.
Due to the sudden incident, Sharlayan had not yet decided where to place the draenei.
According to the information provided by the barrage, in the original history, the Exodar, the spaceship the draenei were riding, crashed on the Blue Island near the Kalimdor continent.
The land of the Eastern Kingdom has long been divided, and almost every region from south to north has an owner. It is best to send the draenei to Kalimdor, which is relatively sparsely populated.
The population of the draenei is not large, and a small island is enough to accommodate them. Bluemyst Island is a good choice.
But Kalimdor is far away on the other side of the Endless Sea, and Sarlayan needs to temporarily resettle the draenei first, and then arrange ships to send them across the ocean.
"There are really a lot of troubles..."
Standing on the wall of Watchfort, looking at the Dark Portal where the brilliance of evil energy could no longer be seen in the distance, Sarlayan rubbed his cheeks vigorously to cheer himself up.
"There is no other way, cheer up! Deal with it one by one!"
With the Dark Portal sealed from the other side, the second war with the orcs finally came to an end, and Azeroth could enter a relatively peaceful period of development.
According to the information provided by the barrage, this period of peace should last for about 10 years. It will not be until the 18th year of the Dark Portal that the Lich King Ner'zhul will once again cause trouble.
But this is only the history that Danmaku understands. In the real world where Sarlayan lives, due to the changes caused by the butterfly effect, no one is sure whether other changes will occur in the process.
After the expeditionary force returned, the Kingdom of Stormwind, which was closest to the Cursed Land, immediately sent people to understand the situation.
The envoy sent by King Varian was someone who was very familiar with Danmaku.
Lord Bolvar Fordragon, nicknamed Bolvar Fordragon by the barrage.
Bolvar was still very young at this time.
The old Duke Fordragon died in the First Orc War, and the title was naturally inherited by his only son, Bolvar, only four years ago.
The First Orc War caused great damage to the Kingdom of Stormwind.
A large number of meritorious nobles who were loyal to the country died on the battlefield, but those greedy and fearful insects survived and gradually became the source of King Varian's troubles.
Sarlayan did not have time to argue with this dragon-for-dragon man in detail. He handed over the task of negotiation to Vereesa, the regular general of the expeditionary force, and began to try to contact Quel'Thalas.
Since the last time she went to Quel'Thalas to ask for help, Stellagosa has memorized the teleportation coordinates of Eversong Forest.
She agreed to Sharlayan's request without hesitation, and used teleportation alone to go to Quel'Thalas, and informed the old king Anaster who stayed in Silvermoon City about what happened in Draenor and the situation of the draenei.
ria.
When he learned that Sarlayan had brought back a group of hot potatoes from another world, the Sun King was caught off guard and smiled bitterly.
However, the matter is now settled. The old king still adopted Sarlayan's suggestion and called on many races and countries in the Eastern Kingdom, Kalimdor and the Broken Isles in the name of Quel'Thalas to discuss how to resettle the Drai.
Nepalese problem.
This grand event will be held in Silvermoon City, the capital of Quel'Thalas. It will be the first time for the tribes of Azeroth to hold such a large-scale gathering.
Due to the addition of the night elves and tauren, who were at the peak of their national power, the alliance that thought it could control the overall situation was destined to have a psychological gap.
To be precise, the smug Terenas Menethil would be unhappy.
After obtaining King Varian's approval, the draenei were temporarily placed on the outskirts of Stormwind City, temporarily isolated from the people of the Kingdom of Stormwind in the city.
This is also a last resort. As the leader of a country, Varian needs to be responsible for his own people.
Before it was determined whether these visitors from other worlds carried unknown plagues and diseases, Varian strictly prohibited the people of the Kingdom of Stormwind from having close contact with the draenei.
Fortunately, the draenei will not stay in Stormwind Kingdom for too long.
Quel'Thalas has contacted the sea kingdom of Kul Tiras, and Daelin is personally arranging a large number of voyage ships.
As soon as the results of the First Azeroth Conference are finalized, Kul Tiras will transport the draenei across the sea as soon as possible.
As the representative of the Draenei, Velen naturally had to attend the first Azeroth Conference, while Archbishop Maladar and Nelly stayed in the Kingdom of Stormwind to appease the restless Draenei people.
As soon as he returned to Azeroth, he was so busy that Sharlayan didn't even take time to contact Wyrmrest Temple. He still didn't know whether Sinestra and Onyxia had reached an agreement with the four-color dragon tribe.
Through the portal in the wizard area of the Kingdom of Stormwind, Sharlayan and Valeera teleported directly to Quel'Thalas with Velen, and met Stellagosa who had been waiting here.
Not to mention the eye contact between Valeera and Stellagosa, Sarlayan immediately saw the old king Anasteria standing not far away with a cane.
"Welcome to Azeroth, distinguished guest from another world, Lord Prophet Velen."
The Sun King smiled and greeted Velen: "I am the Sun King of Quel'Thalas, Anasterian Sunstrider."
