"Thall didn't lie. Is Medivh really going to attack Dalaran?"
After being shocked, Antonidas was very happy and looked at the beautiful female disciple with relief: "Thank you, Gianna, for standing by my side at this most desperate moment, which makes me feel very comforted.
"
"My mentor, you don't know what Medivh and Thrall did to me? I was forced to do it."
Tears welled up in Jaina's beautiful eyes. She recalled Thrall biting off her arm, and her tears finally couldn't help but drip like beads. This moment was no longer an act.
"My child, you have suffered." Antonidas sighed and then said resolutely: "Medivh has brought us too much pain and helplessness. Since he forced me like this, Dalaran can only choose to ally with the Scourge in order to
Protect yourself.”
"No, my mentor, you cannot do this, it is the wrong decision."
Jaina's voice was sharp and distorted. This was the most critical moment. If Antonidas allied with the Scourge, it would be really self-defeating, and all the efforts of Thrall and Jaina would be in vain.
"My mentor, can't you see the situation clearly? The Scourge is destined to be difficult to survive in the long run. Besides, I understand Arthas' character. He is obsessed with the pursuit of power, keen on conquest and destruction. When he tastes the taste of powerful power,
, he is probably the next Medivh. No, he is even more cruel and ruthless than Medivh."
"This!" Antonidas frowned deeply. He has always trusted Jaina very much. Now that Jaina is on his side, Antonidas has regarded her as one of his own. He has to consider Jaina's opinion.
"If we don't unite with the Scourge, how can Dalaran alone compete with the Guardians? Behind him are the four dragon clans, the Dreadlords of the Burning Legion, and some unpredictable powerful forces. God knows how many connections the Guardians have. Azer
How many races in Rath serve him. By the way, he also has the Focusing Iris, which is what Dalaran fears most."
Gianna's beautiful eyes were shining. She knew that she needed superb acting skills at this moment, so she said sincerely:
"Medivh is not omnipotent. My mentor, you should have heard some rumors. Medivh is serving the Burning Legion. His greatest reliance is the Burning Legion."
Antonidas nodded. Since Medivh opened the Dark Portal and led the orcs into Azeroth, Antonidas had already noticed the conspiracy and roughly guessed who the mastermind behind Medivh was.
As for Medivh being possessed by Sargeras, it was pure nonsense, and Antonidas did not believe the poor reasons he used to excuse himself.
"We cannot fight against the Burning Legion. We would rather condone the evil deeds of the orcs than provoke the arrival of the Burning Legion. This is why Dalaran chose to sit back and watch." Antonidas said worriedly.
Jaina nodded. Antonidas gave up the idea of joining forces with the Scourge. Her eyebrows finally relaxed and she began to carry out her conspiracy in an orderly manner:
"But Medivh did not do well. I overheard his quarrel with the fear lord Tichondrius, the rise of Arthas, the emergence of the artifact Frostmourne, and the Scourge sweeping across Lordaeron and driving out
The orcs made the leaders of the Burning Legion increasingly dissatisfied with Medivh."
The appearance of the Scourge Legion was so unexpected that it completely disrupted Medivh's plan. After hearing this, Antonidas had no doubts about this. If the Burning Legion wanted to use the orcs to conquer Azeroth, it has obviously failed now.
"But Medivh still holds the initiative. If Dalaran is also destroyed, even if all races know clearly that it is Medivh who is responsible, no one will come forward, otherwise they will become the next target of the orcs."
Antonidas was once again in a dilemma, feeling that a natural disaster alliance with Alsace was the best option.
Gianna knew that she had to give up her mentor's thoughts, so she "revealed the news" again.
"The Burning Legion was very interested in Frostmourne and wanted to send its leader Archimonde into Azeroth to defeat Arthas with his own hands, but Medivh refused. He wanted to take Frostmourne and the Scourge into his own hands.
Already, Medivh’s ambition has caused dissatisfaction with the Burning Legion, and in fact they have been looking for other agents.”
"Archimonde? What do you mean?"
Antonidas took a breath of cold air. Archimonde the Defiler, the second-in-command of the Burning Legion, knew how terrifying this great demon that appeared in ancient times was.
He is the chief mage of Dalaran. He needs to look at the problem comprehensively. He is not like ordinary adventurers who can distinguish between good and evil. What he values more is interests.
"If someone can summon Archimonde at this time, then Medivh will be useless. The Burning Legion has always been very generous, and those who surrender to the Legion will definitely receive sufficient rewards." Jaina whispered.
"You want me to lead Dalaran to join the Burning Legion?"
Antonidas hesitated, this was not a trivial matter and required careful consideration.
"My mentor, I know that you have always cared about Azeroth, but now there is no other way." Jaina was obviously crying: "I really want to save the people of Lordaeron and lead the survivors to survive, but now
There is no chance anymore, Medivh has disappointed me so much."
"But the Burning Legion is not trustworthy." Antonidas said with serious concerns, "They will bring disaster to Azeroth."
"My mentor, what about the current planet Argus? Are the Eredar extinct? Look at Velen and his Draenei who resisted the Burning Legion. What kind of life are they living? Do you want to see humans also become extinct?
Did you end up with that miserable end? Do you want to be Velen, or choose to become Kil'jaeden!"
Antonidas was silent, he knew exactly what the Burning Legion would bring.
Probably a small number of people, or a specific race, are appreciated by the Scourge. When the real disaster approaches, how many deaths and how many innocent sacrifices will be made.
The Scourge, the power of evil, the safety of Azeroth, and the wails of countless dead souls.
For an archmage like Antonidas, the Scourge's profound knowledge, powerful power, and long lifespan all bring him great temptation. The only thing that stands in the way is his conscience.
"I need to think about it, Jaina, and I have no way to summon Archimonde. Although I am the chief mage of Dalaran, this is not my area of expertise."
Summoning powerful creatures to Azeroth is no easy task.
Summoning the fallen titan Sargeras requires the power of the Well of Eternity.
Although Archimonde cannot compare with Sargeras, he still needs a powerful energy source, exquisite magic, and indispensable powerful artifacts as auxiliary props.
Seeing Antonidas walking into the trap step by step, Jaina's voice trembled with excitement. Her voice was seductive, charming the human succubus: "My mentor, what do you need?"
"I need suitable magic, coordinates and data, and the Book of Medivh." Antonidas was in a daze, he still didn't know if his decision was correct.
"You will be satisfied, my mentor. No matter what the cost, I will help you steal these things from Medivh for Azeroth." Jaina's expression was solemn.
"For Azeroth." Antonidas said with a guilty conscience. (To be continued)
