The operation to rescue Turalyon was carried out simultaneously with Li De's battle on Fenris.
Combining Garona and Khadgar's intelligence, the Griffin Knights searched for a long time before finally discovering Turalyon and his companions in the forest southwest of the Cursed Land.
But when they were discovered, Turalyon and the others were in extremely bad condition.
Including Turalyon, Alleria, more than thirty paladins, and more than four thousand soldiers, they were all sealed in an iceberg that stretched for more than ten kilometers!
And even so, Ner'zhul also arranged for five hundred soldiers to guard this place.
Being trapped in such a huge iceberg, it was really hard to imagine the possibility of survival, especially when Vereesa learned that her sister was frozen in the ice, she almost fainted.
Vereesa's second sister, Sylvanas Windrunner, sent her a stern letter some time ago, but there was sadness in the words.
She was told to bring her eldest sister back...even if it was a corpse. Only Quel'Thalas was the destination of the high elves.
…
The orc guards guarding the frozen forest didn't understand why the warchief arranged for them to do meaningless things.
In fact, how did they know that what Ner'zhul asked them to guard was none other than Ner'zhul's own inner demon.
After Ner'zhul obtained the Eye of Dalaran, he inadvertently glimpsed the future through that powerful magical energy.
In the future that Ner'zhul saw, his war with the Alliance was not so spectacular at all:
Because when he summoned various orcs, he directly stated his plan to escape from this plane, so he was strongly opposed by Fenris and Grom.
In order to ensure the stability of his rule, Ner'zhul killed Fenris, who had excellent military ability, and allowed the impulsive Grom to attack the Alliance on his own.
In that timeline, the tribe after the internal fighting did not pose any decent threat to the alliance at all. Grom, who was alone and unable to support himself, was quickly defeated by the alliance, and he disappeared.
The powerful alliance marched straight into the Dark Portal, finally defeated Deathwing and regained three artifacts, while Ner'zhul himself was lost in the void.
After seeing this, Ner'zhul felt as if he had had a big dream. He could not remember many of the details, but he clearly remembered the five key characters in this dream:
Turalyon, Khadgar, Alleria Windrunner, Kurdran Wildhammer and Danath Trollbane.
The old shaman Ner'zhul believed that this was the revelation given to him by the Eye of Dalaran. As long as he got rid of these five people, he could break his fate of failure.
Now it seems that Ner'zhul is basically certain that he succeeded. Turalyon and Alleria were frozen to death in the ice, and Danath died in the Swamp of Sorrows during the Fenris raid.
Only Khadgar, who had escaped from him, and Kurdran Wildhammer, who was under Reed's command, were left.
"History has been changed. In this world full of possibilities, I still have to be careful... Li De? He's just a small character. What we really need to guard against is the dragon!"
Ner'zhul was thinking rapidly in his mind, but he soon got rid of all distracting thoughts, because next he had to concentrate on nothing else.
The Book of Medivh, the Eye of Dalaran and the Staff of Sargeras are all three artifacts in his hands.
He must understand their secrets in order to open the correct portal and successfully escape to another dimension.
In order to better understand these artifacts, Ner'zhul took them to the easternmost temple in Shadowmoon Valley.
This temple originally belonged to the Draenei who fled here, but it was later captured by Gul'dan, and the holy temple was also contaminated by evil energy.
It no longer matters what the name of this temple was in the past, now its name is the Temple of Darkness.
However, as soon as Ner'zhul got rid of all distracting thoughts and let his heart sink, Talon Gorefiend walked in and spoke softly.
"Great Chief, something happened."
Fortunately, Talon Bloodfiend stopped the reckless orc in time and let him report on his behalf.
Even like this, Ner'zhul's blood surged.
"What happened?! Do you have to disturb me at this time?!"
Talon Blood Demon was also helpless and could only report at the same time.
"Khadgar, Turalyon, and Alleria reappeared on the battlefield. They blocked Fenris from the cursed land. The Dark Portal is in danger."
"What?!"
…
Khadgar rescued Turalyon and the others three days ago.
At that time, Khadgar, Vereesa, Ronin and others led a comprehensive elite force and descended from the sky on gryphons, and almost easily eliminated the 500 orcs guarding the place.
The rest of the rescue team looked at Khadgar in confusion. In the original plan, after they landed, there would be a fierce battle against these five hundred orcs.
However, after landing, Khadgar used an extremely brutal method to eliminate more than 90% of the orcs in three strokes and five divided by two!
"Lord Khadgar...your magic?"
As a mage, Luo Ning is most aware of the gold content that Khadgar showed just now. He feels that this guy may even be more powerful than Antonidas.
Luo Ning knew that Khadgar was a magister, and there was still a long way to go before becoming a great magister.
For a moment, Ronin couldn't help but remember that when he was in Grim Batol, under the control of Deathwing, he briefly had the power to surpass the Magister.
Khadgar did not show off, but cherished the staff in his hand.
"In order to fight against a powerful opponent, I relied on the teacher's power."
Luo Ning's expression changed drastically, and he only then took a serious look at the strange-looking staff held by Khadgar.
It is not unfair to describe this staff as weird at all. It has a bloated "hammer head" on top and looks very disharmonious.
Carrying it on your back is like carrying a long-handled hammer or a big chicken leg.
Of course, upon closer inspection, I discovered that the "hammer head" shape is a raven standing with its wings folded.
"Medivh's staff?"
When raising this question, Luo Ning lowered his voice subconsciously. It was because Guardian Medivh was too special for a mage.
Khadgar nodded, and without worrying too much about the stick, he walked to the iceberg that was several meters high and stretched for more than ten kilometers.
Through the ice wall, Khadgar could barely see Turalyon's face.
"Aurelia is inside?"
Vereesa touched the ice wall with her hands and couldn't help but shed tears. Luo Ning stepped forward and held Vereesa's shoulders to give her silent comfort.
Khadgar held Atiesh, the Staff of the Guardian, which once belonged to Medivh, with both hands and raised it in front of his chest.
As Khadgar closed his eyes and recited the spell silently, the raven's eyes on the top of the staff flashed red.
A powerful magical energy enveloped the forest, and the iceberg stretching for more than ten kilometers melted instantly!
What is unimaginable is that there is actually a thin shield of holy light between the solid ice and the people inside!
Turalyon activated the dozens of paladins, almost burning his own life force, and worked together to hold up such a large holy light shield. Inadvertently, a balance was formed, allowing them to move in a dormant state.
In such a good state, I have survived the past two months in the solid ice!
"Ka...de...ga?"
After the skinny Turalyon regained his sight, he struggled even to subconsciously close his eyes. He kept leaning on the ground with his sword in both hands and said to Khadgar who appeared in front of him in disbelief.
As he spoke, Turalyon's tears came out of his eyes like two clear springs pouring into a dry well.
Others were dormant for nearly two months, but Turayan really relied on his strong willpower to survive for two months, and finally reached the limit of his body!
"The Holy Light has not given up on us, so we will try our best."
The actions of the paladins headed by Turalyon moved everyone, and Turalyon used the last bit of strength before he fell unconscious to signal everyone to pay attention to his back.
"O...Aurelia..."
Only then did everyone see that Alleria was wrapped in the cloak behind Turalyon.
Alleria was only wearing underwear, and she was wrapped in the same coat as Turalyon. The two relied on this to keep each other warm in the ice. Perhaps it was also because Alleria behind her gave Turalyon the motivation to persevere.
