Map of Draenor
The high-ranking knights went to change their armor, while Alleria began scouting the surroundings. What was originally Tanaan Jungle was now Hellfire Peninsula. If Galen hadn't told her this was Draenor, Alleria would have had a hard time distinguishing it; the red landscape was too similar to the Blasted Lands!
Moreover, Galen wasn't lying about not being able to return for the time being. Originally, he thought that besides repairing the Dark Portal, he could also use the Return Scroll produced by the Origin Heart to travel unhindered between Draenor and Azeroth. He didn't expect that after tearing open a scroll for a test, the light would extinguish after the scroll only activated halfway!
It seemed there wasn't enough energy!
Fortunately, the Origin Heart could still connect him to the Azeroth base. Gandalf immediately informed Galen that Azeroth's spatial barrier was too strong. The energy of the Return Scroll was only enough for unlimited teleportation within the same planet. Now, if they wanted to cross who knows how many light-years for interstellar travel, they could only increase the energy stored within the Return Scroll!
Of course, Galen also had an artifact capable of traversing space: the Scepter of Sargeras. Back then, the Dark Titan created this weapon not for combat, but as an aid to conveniently open portals.
Years ago, Sargeras used the special ability of this scepter to tear a small opening in Azeroth's outer barrier, forcibly stuffing a portion of his soul and energy avatar inside.
However, this method was a bit dangerous, easily targeted by the world's will. Azeroth would be hostile to such violent behavior. Otherwise, why do you think Sargeras had such bad luck back then? He was arcane-blasted in the face by Aegwynn as soon as he came in?
There was another way to return, which was to locate each other through the mental connection of the Origin Heart, and then Galen would use group teleport to return. However, this required a huge amount of energy. If Draenor had a magic source similar to the Sunwell, Galen might be able to teleport back with a 'whoosh' after soaking in it and guiding the magic for days and nights.
Galen wouldn't do that. Spell guidance was tedious and boring. He might as well let Gandalf guide the teleportation spell, chugging mana potions while guiding, and then bring a legion and farmers over to Draenor to find a good place to open a branch base.
That's right!
That's what they'll do!
He would leave a coordinate mentally for Gandalf to locate, let him bring people over. The superiors worry, the inferiors labor. If the subordinates don't do such hard work, is the boss supposed to do it?
As for Draenor's first branch base, Galen thought the island a little northeast of his current location was good!
Ashran Island!
He himself could take Alleria to tour Draenor.
This was a rare opportunity. The current Draenor world had not yet been destroyed into the fragmented Outland by Ner'zhul opening portals indiscriminately. Except for most of Frostfire Ridge being destroyed by elemental storms, the entire planet was still in perfect condition, except for some loss of vitality, a bit wilted.
He also didn't know if Draenor's legendary Farahlon Plains and Ogre Islands existed. Galen had only heard of these two places, but had never actually been there.
However, where should he go for his first stop?
The big goal, of course, was to go to Nagrand to find Durotan's mother. Gul'dan's future wife was there, worth a visit.
On the way, they would pass through Shattrath City, which should now be in ruins and still under the control of the orcs.
The Horde captured Shattrath, and Velen led the defeated draenei into the swamps and mountains. After that, the Horde rarely saw the draenei again.
It wasn't until a Naaru organization called the Sha'tar, who landed from outer space, arrived that Shattrath City returned to the draenei's control.
Galen had been curious about the Naaru, who also played with the Holy Light, for a long time. At least they were potential allies, the vanguard against the Burning Legion. Good heavens, was there a better group to take the blame than the Holy Light Legion!
Galen began to recall some of the information he knew about the Naaru.
When Velen's eredar were fleeing Argus, a Naaru named L'ura chose to stay behind to buy them more time. In the end, she was caught by the angry Kil'jaeden and sealed in the Seat of the Triumvirate on Argus.
The remaining Naaru used their energy to help Velen's ship accelerate in space and escape the Burning Legion's pursuit. The second Naaru Velen lost was K'ara, who was devoured by void energy because her Holy Light energy was exhausted. She fell from the ship and transformed into the Dark Star, wandering over Shadowmoon Valley for hundreds of years, constantly affecting the sky above Shadowmoon Valley, causing the area to always be in a dim state.
Because of K'ara's death, the draenei fleeing in the ship Genedar crashed in Nagrand, Draenor. The naaru D'ore and many eredar died on the spot. The only surviving naaru, K'ure, was corrupted by the void and remained on the ship.
Only a section of the wreckage of the eredar ship remained above ground, forming a Crystal Mountain. Because of K'ure, it attracted the souls of orcs and was later called the Holy Mountain Oshu'gun by the orcs.
Another Naaru who died in the crash, D'ore, was taken away by the eredar and enshrined in their large tomb, Auchindoun.
What good people, no, what good Naaru, a noble paragon of self-sacrifice! Galen said he wanted to be friends with them.
However, according to Galen, the Naaru were also divided into factions, each with a different style of behavior. Among them, Galen most wanted to see A'dal. This Naaru was a fighter among the Naaru, incredibly strong, and Galen's ideal communication partner.
He also didn't know when A'dal and the other Naaru who followed A'dal arrived in Draenor on the spatial fortress: Tempest Keep, that is, the Stormspire. That was an entire fleet!
The main ship Stormspire, a super spaceship, plus four satellite ships: the Botanica, the Arcatraz, the Mechanar, and the Exodar!
Goblin technology is shocking?
Those little green-skinned dwarves will self-destruct just by playing with black powder. Can that compare to a spaceship that can travel remotely in space?
Galen, felt jealous.
So it was decided, all the way west, avoiding the Horde's eyes, to see if he could save the half-dead K'ure, and then abduct Gul'dan's little wife!
Galen sent two high-ranking knights to the northeast to find and lie in wait on Ashran Island, awaiting Gandalf to bring reinforcements. He himself led Alleria and the remaining ten knights, stealthily heading east along the coastline of Tanaan Jungle.
Speaking of which, Galen had taken full advantage of Alleria the moment he arrived in Draenor. While he was enjoying himself on the other side of the Dark Portal, Sylvanas on Azeroth was nearly worried to death!
Suddenly, two of the most important people entered the perilous Dark Portal, and then a huge explosion came from the Dark Portal. Although the main body of the Dark Portal was not damaged, the energy vortex in the middle disappeared!
The Alliance was thrown into chaos by the huge explosion. Just as everyone was celebrating that the black dragon had not caused too much damage to the Alliance, a bombshell was dropped!
Alliance General Galen Trollbane and Ranger Lord Alleria Windrunner were attacked by a black dragon and taken into the Dark Portal. Their whereabouts are now unknown!
They only saw two dragons fighting in the air and did not know the specific situation. Gandalf, in order to conceal Galen's transformation secret, directly released false information. Galen's disappearance caused great concern among the Alliance and generals who had a good relationship with him.
Among them, Turalyon had a faint sense of sadness, as if something important had left him.
Those who were gloating were the Menethil father and son. After all, 'the hero of one is the enemy of another.' Although Lordaeron and Stromgarde had a good relationship on the surface, and Thoras and Terenas had a good personal relationship, for Terenas, who wanted to unify the human kingdoms and become the second Thoradin the Great, the heirs of other human countries being too excellent would create a huge obstacle to his plans.
Especially seeing Arthas happily being silly beside him, he was even more annoyed! If you are not good enough, where does the competitiveness Galen from? What's the use of just losing one opponent? Can you make all your opponents disappear?
From today onwards!
Double his son's homework!
Bring Uther back to serve as Arthas's mentor in the Way of the Holy Light!
Martial arts! Swordsmanship! Noble etiquette! Military theory! The art of ruling! All doubled! Super doubled!
Arthas suddenly shivered beside him. At a young age, he didn't know what he would face in the future. At this time, he was secretly happy that after the legendary strongest paladin was gone, Jaina would play with him.
Stromgarde Royal Palace.
Bang!
Thoras slammed his desk angrily, and a crack appeared on the tabletop under his palm, showing how much force he used!
What were you vassals doing at that time! Two knight orders, thousands of people, why did you let the prince you swore allegiance to face the black dragon alone!
Thoras was very angry. His excellent son was now missing, and he might face fatal danger at any time. No one knew what was behind the Dark Portal, but the overwhelming orc army and hundreds of black dragons were known!
Thoras felt that even he would not be able to retreat completely in such a bad situation!
He was angry!
The revival of Stromgarde had already seen the dawn. The land area had more than tripled under his and Galen's planning. More than 300,000 refugees were taken in. With sufficient food in the country, these refugees were quickly properly settled and quickly absorbed by the Kingdom of Stromgarde.
But Thoras still restrained himself!
No other reason, because the vassals under his son were too strong. Thoras respected the strong, so he could only suppress his anger.
A legendary archmage, although his strength was a little worse than Antonidas, he was not far behind. Legendary rank paladin, it is said that Lordaeron only had Uther and Turalyon barely reaching this level, and there was also the rumored future princess consort of Stromgarde, Sylvanas Windrunner, who was also a legend. These three people together were enough to overturn the Stromgarde Royal Palace. Without mobilizing a large army, he simply could not suppress them on his own.
"Your Majesty Thoras, I take full responsibility for this matter. I asked Galen to save my sister, otherwise he could have completely avoided this danger!"
Sylvanas looked remorseful. The disappearance of her sister and lover made her suffer.
"Lady Sylvanas, now is not the time to pursue responsibility. Can we reopen the Dark Portal and send troops to meet Galen?" This was the issue that Thoras was most concerned about, and because the other party was Sylvanas, his tone softened a lot.
"Please call me Sylvanas, Your Majesty," Sylvanas said, "According to the Kirin Tor, to restart the Dark Portal, you must find the Book of Medivh and the Scepter of Sargeras, which were used when the Dark Portal was first opened, plus a suitable source of magic. This is the easiest way to open it!"
"Then let's go find it!" Thoras couldn't wait any longer. Every day his son was late, he would be in danger for one more day!
"..." Sylvanas was speechless.
At this time, Gandalf interjected: "Your Majesty, the Book of Medivh is easy to say, I know where it is, the problem lies with the Scepter of Sargeras, this artifact, it is on the prince."
"..." Thoras was speechless.
This unlucky child!
Cutting off his own retreat!
"Your Majesty, this is the method of the Kirin Tor Council, but it does not mean that this is the only method." Gandalf was not in a hurry. With his prince's extreme caution, he would not die even if Draenor exploded in place now.
"Lord Gandalf, please speak!"
Thoras's respect made the white-robed Gandalf quite pleased. He received respect here from Thoras that he could not get from the prince. Anyway, they are both Trollbanes, I will treat it as the same!
"The Kirin Tor is the Kirin Tor of Dalaran, and our Crusade has a line of Guardians. Ms. Aegwynn and Lord Medivh are both serving the prince."
Shock!
The old father knew for the first time that the power under his son was so awesome!
Guardians of Tirisfal, as the Stromgarde royal family, inheriting the legacy of the Arathi Empire, how could the Trollbanes not know the Guardians, how could they not know Aegwynn, a figure who has dominated the human mage world for more than 800 years!
They are serving the next King of Stromgarde? I'm not dreaming, am I?
Thoras vaguely heard the words in his ear: "With them, we will soon be able to locate the prince, and then teleport to that unknown world."
Thoras hadn't reacted yet when he heard Sylvanas say:
"Galen was in danger because he rescued the eldest daughter of the Windrunner family. No matter what the future holds, I, Sylvanas, swear here that I, Sylvanas, from today onwards, will become Galen Trollbane's follower, never leaving him, until the end of my life!"
Sylvanas was very clear. From the moment Galen disregarded his own safety to save Alleria, she had already made up her mind about him. No matter what the future held, whenever Galen returned, she would leave Quel'Thalas and become his wife.
This time, her return to Quel'Thalas was not only to inform her mother about Alleria's situation and her own decision, but also to give her younger sister special training. Before the only man in the family grew up, she and her third sister had to support the family!
Regardless of whether her eldest sister could return safely, Lirath Windrunner, her foolish younger brother, had to bear the responsibility and glory of the Windrunner family. Lirath had to be sent to the Minas Tirith!
Time was of the essence!
Although Galen was far away in another world, his connection with Azeroth was not interrupted. Millions of base units were his eyes and ears. He also heard Sylvanas's vow, which made him feel ashamed. Well, he was ashamed for kissing his sister-in-law half a day ago.
I'm just giving first aid, first aid!
Galen kept comforting himself, then tried to divert his attention.
Although he was in Draenor, the plans on Azeroth's side could not be stopped. He would not be able to make it to the loot distribution after the Alliance's great victory, but it didn't matter. Southshore and the land east of Tarren Mill already belonged to Stromgarde. The largest piece of cake had already been eaten by the Trollbane family. Lordaeron and Gilneas the large area of land around Hillsbrad Farm.
Partiastrasz secretly sent two hundred red dragon whelps to Galen. Galen couldn't care less about the remaining spoils of war, so he didn't care anymore.
As for the construction of the underground tunnel in the Eastern Continent, Galen had fully entrusted it to his newly appointed vassal, VanCleef. He would form the Stonemason's Guild of the Crusade, responsible for directing the 50,000 kobold laborers brought by Nibnob Flintlock, and cooperate with the Black Iron drilling machine to excavate the section from Stromgarde to Ironforge.
In addition to the tunnel, Galen gave his father a Stromgarde expansion plan. He proposed expanding the urban area of Stromgarde City, which had not been touched for thousands of years, expanding southeast to the Bay of Faldar, leveling the mountains, and building residential and commercial areas, while building an inner-city port at the bay.
Stromgarde, built by Emperor Thoradin thousands of years ago, was designed as a military fortress and could only accommodate 100,000 people at most. That's why there was a plan to immigrate to Stranglethorn Vale a few years ago. Now, the Kingdom of Stromgarde has 300,000 new people, and the royal city must be expanded.
The Minas Tirith could be the religious center of the Arathi Highlands in the future, or it could be the ruling center of the Crusade, but its geographical location determined that it could not become a commercial center. Stromgarde City was located by the sea, with unique sea transportation conditions, reaching Southshore in the north and Stormwind Harbor in the south, connecting north and south. Moreover, it was located on the mainland, and the products were much richer than the small island transit station of Zul'dare. Collecting tolls and replenishing supplies for merchants along the way could make a fortune!
There was also Onyxia, the Black Dragon Princess. She transformed into the noble Katrana Prestor, and joined the Kingdom of Stromgarde as the Countess of Alterac with a territory located on the banks of the Thondroril River. Galen had arranged for Haynie, Faldar, Fral to pursue this beautiful countess frantically.
For ordinary noble women, facing the four newly promoted powerful nobles of the Kingdom of Stromgarde vying for her favor, and Faldar and the other three were old nobles from Stromgarde, holding the main battle corps that had made great achievements in the war, they should have been inflated under normal circumstances, and then took the opportunity to squeeze into the upper class, but the Black Dragon Princess received the order to approach the Prince of Stromgarde, and could only continue to play the role of a cold noble lady.
This made Galen's four regimental commanders suffer. At night, Nefarian strengthened their mental defenses to prevent them from being charmed by the Black Dragon Princess's magic and becoming her slaves, and during the day, they had to pretend to be lustful pursuers and lick her, it was torture!
The Prince's final order was that whoever could invite the Countess out for a date alone in the Cathedral of the Minas Tirith would be credited with the first achievement and rewarded with an item x1 to improve their strength.
It was just a pity that Nefarian still didn't have any news about his mother, Sinestra. Otherwise, Galen's goal might have been the Black Dragon Mother, not Onyxia, this little female dragon.
Moreover, the progress of the Black Dragon's Lightforging under Nefarian was not very smooth. At present, a large part of the Black Dragons were too seriously cursed by the Old Gods, and could not withstand the conflict between the Holy Light and the power of the chaotic void during the Lightforging process, and exploded on the spot.
As for Hinterlands, Tazz'dingo's troll assault regiment and Retherokk's rhino regiment were approaching Zul'Aman. The Revantusk trolls and Varok Saurfang were at the end of their ropes, and Galen's unification of Hinterlands was not far away.
Finally, there was the gnome side. Galen had already communicated with the High Tinker, and let Omar and Varrokal lead two regiments to garrison Gnomeregan to help the gnomes clear out the troggs that were pouring out from the ground.
The condition was that the gnomes must send a top gnome engineer team to garrison the Minas Tirith, and Galen also specifically named Sicco Thermaplugg to lead the team.
Alas, even if my current state is like a spring outing in the wild, I still can't get rid of my hard-working life.
While thinking, Galen swayed on the back of the Dog King. The army couldn't Galen over, but fortunately Galen could still summon the beasts in the beast pen. The Dog King Magmadar's strength was not bad, so Galen summoned it to act as a mount and casually release thugs.
Alleria rode a newly tamed freshwater beast, walked while staring at Galen's back, with a preoccupied look, not knowing what she was thinking.
Galen previously thought that the entire Tanaan Jungle had been drained, but unexpectedly, only the area near the Dark Portal had turned red. After walking away, there were still many plants in the mountains, but most of the plants were dry and withered, and the rest were dehydrated and shriveled.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Several bright silver spears fell beside Galen and the others, and then dozens of blue-purple humanoid saber-toothed tigers jumped out of the withered jungle!
They not only had sharp claws, but also held iron spears. Except for looking a little thin, they were still majestic and strong.
Seeing this group of sabertooth tigers at this time, Galen knew where he was!
This is the Valley of Farahlon at the southernmost tip of Tanaan Jungle. There is a huge Bleeding Hollow clan entrenched here.
Looking at their posture now, Galen and his party were probably targeted by this group of tiger people as prey.
This is the rhythm of being caught back, washed, peeled, and fried in oil!
