Not long after, Malfurion returned from the north. His plan to seize the Dragon Soul had failed, and the artifact had been taken by his brother Illidan, who brought it back to Zin-Azshari!
In Archimonde's view, the arrival of his master, Sargeras, was already counting down. He needed to eliminate the resistance forces of this world before his master arrived!The resistance fought with all their might.
The night elves, tauren, and all other races knew that retreating now meant offering their necks to the demons' blades. Perhaps they would inevitably die in the end, but before they died, they would take a demon with them, dying a worthwhile death!
The demonic army was endless, crashing against the resistance's lines like a tide. As far as Galen could see, the ground was already piled high with corpses.Resistance warriors surging up from behind stepped on the corpses to continue fighting.
Wild demigods, night elves, tauren, furbolgs, and earthen dwarves all raised their weapons against the enemy, spilling their own blood. The faces of every warrior were filled with determination and solemnity.
Behind Galen were more than two thousand elite night elf troops, led by Jess Wovenshadow.
Of these two thousand, more than seventeen hundred came from Eldre'Thalas. Some of them had been city guards in the south and east of Azshara, and some were avengers who had lost loved ones in the massacre.
The remaining two hundred and seventy were Galen's base druids.These druids, who maintained their night elf forms, were the result of the Tree of Ancient Knowledge's efforts for a year after Galen arrived in the ancient times.
Now that Galen needed some trustworthy troops to support him, he transferred them over.Of course, Galen wouldn't be foolish enough to have them all transform into bear form. That would attract too much attention.
After all, the progress of druidic cultivation was quite slow, and even a chosen one like himself couldn't keep up.Currently, only Malfurion, a true genius, and Galen, a fake genius, had caught Cenarius's eye.If two hundred and seventy bear druids were to appear, Cenarius would have to come knocking.
Galen wasn't afraid, but he didn't know how to explain it.But two hundred night elves who could use Rejuvenation were easy to explain.I am the second disciple of the demigod Cenarius, I will spread the Way of Nature in Eldre'Thalas.
Among the two hundred and fifty thousand night elves, more than two hundred chose to embrace nature.They learned Rejuvenation, which is reasonable, right?Not only is it reasonable, but Cenarius would also look at Galen with new eyes!
This is promoting the druid order!At this time, the battlefield was south of Zin-Azshari, in a place called the Golden Forest. The bear demigod brothers Ursoc and Ursol and the boar demigod Agamaggan had already fallen here!Galen first quietly collected the soul of the boar demigod, but found that he couldn't put it into the Emerald Dream.
In order not to cause himself even bigger trouble, Galen could only watch as the souls of Ursoc and Ursol returned to the Emerald Dream!The boar demigod didn't have much of a background, so it was no big deal to lose him. But Ursoc and Ursol had too close a relationship with Cenarius, and they were also the source of the druids' bear form.
Their disappearance would greatly change the future.Even if Galen was heartbroken, he had to choose to give up.The death of the demigods angered Cenarius. This nature demigod, who was not known for his combat power, fought like a madman.
He was surrounded by hundreds of treants and dryads, and soon he cleared out the demons who had killed the boar demigod.However, this scene was seen by Archimonde. With a wave of his hand, more powerful high-ranking demons began to surround Cenarius, including many huge abyss lords.Soon, Cenarius and his treants were overwhelmed by demons. Just as he was about to give up, a huge white stag charged into the most densely packed area of demons.The huge antlers on his head were like indestructible blades.
With each swing, swaths of demons were killed. His four huge hooves crushed the demons' heads and the ribs protected by their breastplates, and his sharp teeth bit off the demons' limbs, tearing open their throats.In the end, this huge white stag rescued the dying Cenarius.
"He's so strong!"The speaker was Huln Highmountain.
His fur was fluffy, and he had more than twenty braids on his body, most of which hung below his chin. Each strand of hair on each braid represented every enemy killed on the battlefield.
"That's Malorne, the White Stag, also one of the greatest and most powerful of the demigods!"
Galen, covered in blood and bits of flesh, appeared beside Huln with two greatswords in his hands.
"So it's him. He's appeared in our tauren books!"
The appearance of the white stag reversed the tide of the resistance. The demonic tide was useless in front of this white stag. Row after row of demons came charging with swords and blades, but in an instant, the White Stag God tore them to pieces.The strongest demigod, how terrifying.
"Are we going to win?"
A short, stocky, but muscular man also came to Huln's side like Galen.
He had a thick beard and was only half Huln's height, and his body was made of stone, looking like granite.
He wasn't made of flesh and blood!This was a dwarf from ten thousand years ago. 'Dwarf' was a derogatory term given to them by the night elves. They called themselves the earthen tribes, or earthen.
"No!"
Galen knew the outcome.
"Why? The demons are falling in droves. They're about to be cleared out!"
The dwarf, no, the earthen Duergar, said in confusion.
"The Burning Legion also has high-end combat power. He won't let the White Stag God slaughter his soldiers!"
As soon as Galen finished speaking, they saw the demonic ranks part.A huge blue figure strode out from the tide of demons. His appearance was very similar to the eredar warlocks in the previous Burning Legion, with the same fleshy whiskers on his chin and a tail behind him.
"Archimonde!"Galen muttered to himself.
In this world, he had finally seen Archimonde in person for the first time!He advanced towards the White Stag God. With each step, Archimonde's body grew larger and larger.When he came to the White Stag God, his body was as huge as a mountain.
Archimonde's expression was as cold as ice. He carefully observed and considered his opponent in front of him.
"This demon doesn't even use weapons!" The earthen Duergar said.
"Weapons?"
Galen, who knew Archimonde's power, wouldn't underestimate this demon commander just because he didn't have weapons.
His millstone-sized fist was the best weapon!The battle between Archimonde and the white stag Malorne was earth-shattering. The clash of these two demigods created deafening thunder, and the surrounding warriors were all knocked to the ground.
Although each move possessed immense power, Galen thought it resembled a bullfight, only missing the red cloth.
"Let's sneak over and rescue my mentor!"
Galen looked at the battle with some worry, fearing that the aftermath of the fight between Archimonde and Malorne would kill his cheap mentor.
It was no secret among the night elves that Malfurion and Galen, two mainstays of the resistance, were disciples of the nature god Cenarius.
After all, the two antlers on Malfurion's head grew larger and larger, and bird feathers grew on his arms. He was incredibly skilled in using natural magic to summon plants for attack.
And although Galen looked like a berserker, when he was surrounded by demons and exhausted, he would transform into a giant bear.
His thick bear hide would withstand the demons' swords, and he would push through the encirclement.
After creating distance, he would transform into a elk with a twist of his little butt, leaving everyone in the dust, extremely flamboyant.
Of course, this was also done deliberately by Galen.
He wanted the demigods to know that he was Cenarius's man, that he had someone above him.In case Archimonde targeted him on the battlefield, with someone of that level present, they couldn't just stand by and watch him die, right?
Galen moved forward his back bent, while the earth spirit Duergar swaggered through the corpses of the demons.
"…"
Galen was speechless. If he had a choice, he would still prefer his current height.
When they arrived next to Cenarius, the fierce wind from the two demigods' battle blew over, almost knocking them over.
At the same time, they understood that the White Stag God had been distracted during the battle, paying attention to his child to prevent the aftermath of the battle from killing him.
Galen cast a Rejuvenation spell on his mentor, then, together with the tauren Huln, picked up Cenarius and returned to the resistance's lines without looking back.
On the other side of the battlefield, Malfurion and Tyrande, having received the news, also rushed over.
"Good heavens, his injuries are severe," Tyrande said, jumping off her nightsaber and quickly checking Cenarius's injuries.
"Mentor!"Malfurion also ran over quickly.
"Mentor, how are you!"
Unfortunately, Cenarius was seriously injured and did not respond to their calls.
"The external injuries of the mentor have been healed by me, but the more troublesome thing is that the demon injected toxins into his body, which has caused the mentor to fall into a coma."
Galen was also relatively helpless. After all, his path of the druid had only been cultivated for less than a year, too shallow to use detoxification techniques, unless he exposed his paladin abilities, otherwise there was really no way.
"I'll do it!" Malfurion said, and then began to prepare for detoxification.
Just then, the God of Nature, who had fallen into a coma, suddenly straightened his upper body and hissed in a low voice:
"No! Father!"
Malfurion looked confused.
I haven't cast a spell yet, why did the mentor suddenly wake up, and so sadly?
Boom! A sound of a heavy object landing came from afar.
Everyone turned to look and found Archimonde casually throwing the White Stag God with a twisted neck on the ground, and then activated the Fel Teleportation Array, leaving the battlefield.
The strongest demigod Malorne was killed by Archimonde!
"No! This isn't real!"
Compared to Galen, who knew all the secrets as a transmigrator, Malfurion, as Cenarius's most valued student, of course knew that the White Stag God was his mentor's father.
The father sacrificed himself to save his son!Malfurion couldn't accept it!In grief and indignation, he activated the prepared spell, and green light burst out from his hand, sticking to Cenarius's body.
The nature demigod's painful and sad expression eased, and he quickly woke up.
"I'm sorry, mentor, I've let you down," Malfurion said with a sad face.
Cenarius stretched out an arm and placed it on Malfurion's shoulder: "No, you did your best. Don't be sad, the death of a demigod is not the end, one day they will return to this world."
"But now we have been defeated! We have put all our strength into the battle, and the demons are still extremely powerful!"
The death of the White Stag God caused the morale of the resistance to plummet, and Archimonde, after ending the White Stag God's killing spree, left the battlefield and returned to the rear, and would soon command the demon army to make a comeback!
Seeing that his student was about to lose confidence, Cenarius said: "Don't worry, reinforcements will arrive soon!"
"Reinforcements? We still have reinforcements?"
The surrounding crowd exclaimed!
"That's right! It's the Dragonflight, I contacted them, and they will arrive soon!" Cenarius said firmly.
The surrounding people remembered a legend: the Green Dragon Queen Ysera is the mother of the Forest God.
Perhaps the truth of this legend is not high, but it is obvious that the God of Nature and the dragons have a close relationship.
Thinking of this, everyone regained their spirits.
"Roar!"
A loud dragon roar came from the sky.
The resistance members looked up, and the sky was covered by huge figures!
The red dragons, green dragons, and bronze dragons were all here, led by the Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza and the Green Dragon Queen Ysera.
The Blue Dragon Legion suffered heavy losses and was therefore absent, and the Bronze Dragon King's whereabouts were unknown, but the other bronze dragons were all here.
The dragon group condensed into one and pounced on the Burning Legion. The demons were still entangled with the enemies on the ground.
"Jarod!"
Galen was the first to react. His composure was the strongest, and he had seen the world, and was not shocked by the number of dragons.
"Quickly send out a signal, the whole army attacks, and cooperate with the dragon allies to attack!"
Jarod on the side woke up immediately after hearing Galen's reminder, rode his nightsaber and began to transmit military orders.
In the sky, the dragons spewed out hot dragon breath at the demons, and the Scarlet flames instantly turned the demons into ashes.
The resistance forces also began to charge, suppressing the demons and retreating steadily.
"No!"
A long howl came from the battlefield!
Galen took the time to scan during the fight and found that the movement happened on the side of the Green Dragon Queen.
It turned out that when Ysera was attacking the demons, she found the body of the White Stag God drowned in blood!
It is said that the Green Dragon Queen was in love with the White Stag God. Judging from the sad howl just now, perhaps it is true.
As a result, Galen silently chose the 'no' option in his mind.
Today's Galen has reached a new level of cowardice.
With the addition of the dragons, the rebel army quickly defeated the demon army. Archimonde, for some unknown reason, did not appear to salvage the defeat, but chose to retreat with the remaining demons, stationed south of Zin-Azshari.
The rebels also stopped their advance. At Cenarius' request, the dragons agreed to temporarily obey the command of the rebel commander Jarod Shadowsong.
Now, the leaders have gathered to discuss the next step of their plan.
"There are too many demons. We must find a way to curb their advantage!"
The rebel army's numbers have been greatly reduced in several fierce battles, but after a batch of demons died, a new batch emerged from the portal. Even if the rebels gathered the strength of the entire planet, they would still be exhausted!
A group of big shots agreed with Cenarius' words.
The dragons, who had just joined the battle, did not know much about the demons, but there were too many demons, and they could never be killed completely. Therefore, the Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza asked, "What should we do?"
"Just blow up the portal above the Well of Eternity. Directly cut off the entrance for demons to enter Kalimdor from the source." Galen casually added.
"How to blow it up?" Malfurion was very excited. He had closed a portal once, but he couldn't completely destroy it.
"With an artifact. It is said that an artifact called the Dragon Soul appeared on the battlefield before?" Galen said the name of the artifact lightly, but it caused grief and anger among the dragons.
"Neltharion!" The Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza said through gritted teeth, "But we can't find that traitor, how can we seize the Dragon Soul!"
"No, Your Majesty Alexstrasza, the Dragon Soul is not on the Black Dragon now. It has been taken by my brother Illidan!" Malfurion recalled the trip to Highmountain not long ago. It was that time that made him aware of his brother's betrayal!
"Then what are we waiting for? Let your brother take out the Dragon Soul. We will form a commando team. The army will attract the attention of the demons outside, and the commando team will raid the Well of Eternity and blow up the portal!"
Dragon Queen Ysera said excitedly. The death of the God of the White Stag once drove her into madness. Before, she had launched a one-sided slaughter of the demons on the battlefield like a madman.
"But… Illidan betrayed us and joined Queen Azshara!" Tyrande said painfully.
"..."
Everyone was silent for a while. No one thought that things would develop to this point. The Dragon Soul, which could destroy the portal, was actually in Zin-Azshari!
"Cough cough!"
Galen coughed twice, pulling everyone back from the silence.
"Now that we know the whereabouts of the Dragon Soul, isn't it easier to handle? We can just go to Zin-Azshari to find it. Don't worry, I'm familiar with that place!"
Galen patted his chest. Where could the Dragon Soul be? It must be at the location of the main portal, most likely in Galharra.
"And have you ever thought about why Illidan betrayed us? Back then, Tyrande was captured by the demons and taken to Zin-Azshari. Maybe he was just feigning allegiance to the Burning Legion, but actually wanted to save Tyrande?"
As soon as these words came out, hope burst out in Tyrande and Malfurion's eyes. As the two people closest to Illidan, they also didn't want Illidan to go astray.
Originally, the friendship between the three could last forever, but unfortunately, two men and one woman, and in the end Tyrande chose Malfurion as her partner, and Illidan ultimately failed.
Tyrande vaguely remembered Illidan confessing to her after the war, but she diverted the topic, letting him know that she already had someone in her heart.
When Illidan left, he said that he would save Kalimdor in his own way and become a dazzling hero, so that she would change her mind!
Perhaps Galen's guess was correct!
Tyrande was like a drowning person suddenly grabbing a life-saving straw, and quickly hugged it tightly!
"Then we must act quickly!"
Malfurion was also equally excited.
As the protagonist of the era, Malfurion was the first to discover the Highborne opening the portal and told Cenarius about it.
After coming out of the Black Dragon's lair, he had vaguely sensed the crisis in this world in recent times, perhaps not just the Burning Legion.
Three ancient evil forces caused the Black Dragon King to fall and betray the Dragonflights, and Malfurion still doesn't quite understand who or what kind of existence they are.
Now, only by solving the Burning Legion first can we free up our hands to investigate this matter!
"Count me in for the team!" Galen quickly signed up. He was already tired of killing ordinary demons, and he couldn't beat Archimonde now, so he might as well team up with Malfurion to farm the Well of Eternity instance.
"I'll go too!" Huln Highmountain stepped forward.
"Add me!" Sylvanas indicated that she wanted to be with Galen.
"Me too!" Alleria was not to be outdone.
"Me, me, me!" A certain dwarf raised his hand and jumped up, for fear that everyone would not see him.
Oh, everyone wants to go, there are too many people, which is not conducive to hiding!
Galen thought for a while, if people above the demigod level enter Zin-Azshari, I am afraid that Archimonde on the periphery will immediately explode, so he can only choose combat power below the demigod.
Illidan will definitely join halfway, otherwise how will he save the world and become a hero to impress Tyrande?
Tyrande also has to go, her Moon God summoning technique is not weak, and at critical moments, there is a big boss to protect her, the Moon God railgun is not a false name?
Malfurion also has to go, joking, the protagonist of the era, the son of the plane of the War of the Ancients, without him is equal to a 100% luck bonus, this critical strike depends on him.
In the end, Galen made up his mind.
"Let's do this, I'm familiar with the terrain of Zin-Azshari, I'll lead the team, Tyrande and Malfurion have to go, it's up to you to convince Illidan, and then Shiva and Aolai will also go with me. The three of us have a high degree of understanding and can exert more powerful combat power."
As for Broxigar, Galen plans to smuggle him in using a teleportation scroll after entering Zin-Azshari.
Hehe, otherwise he would bring Broxigar but not Huln, and the little boat of friendship would capsize.
"As for the others, you need to hold back Archimonde's attention and buy us more time to complete the mission."
"Please! Everyone"
After everyone listened, their expressions were different. The dragons naturally had no objection. They had just arrived, so they naturally had to give Cenarius face, and Malfurion and Galen were both disciples of the God of Nature, so they would not fight for this spot.
Huln Highmountain was a little disappointed, losing an opportunity to fight alongside Galen.
However, he turned his head and saw that the orc warrior on the side was not selected either, and he smiled in his heart.
It is also great to be able to fight alongside Broxigar!
The period before a great battle is always quiet, and Jarod Shadowsong was fully engaged in planning the upcoming battle.
His mission was extremely important; the resistance needed to fully hold back Archimonde and the demon army, creating favorable infiltration conditions for the strike team.
If they failed, they would not only lose five excellent mainstays, but also potentially lose the war, and Azeroth would be plunged into the abyss under the iron hooves of the Burning Legion.
Now, on the front lines, the bear gods Ursoc and Ursol, brothers, and the wild boar god Agamaggan had already sacrificed themselves, and coupled with the panther god Ashamane, who was killed by demons in the defense of Suramar not long ago, four demigods had already fallen, plus the deaths of thousands upon thousands of night elves, Jarod only felt immense pressure.
Compared to Jarod, Galen was much more relaxed; he was both showing the Windrunner sisters around the new district of Eldre'Thalas that he designed and directing a squad composed of druids and archers to advance south.
Galen remembered that a group of pandaren lived in the south of the continent of Kalimdor, who had overthrown the tyrannical rule of the mogu created by the guardian Ra-den and established a pandaren empire.
The Kaldorei Empire and the pandaren empire once fought side by side, jointly resisting the rising troll empire.
In the nearly thousand years since, the night elves became increasingly obsessed with arcane magic, even beginning to abuse the power of the Well of Eternity. After the pandaren, who loved nature and peace, gave fruitless advice, the allied relationship between the Kaldorei Empire and the pandaren empire was severed.
And Galen knew that when the night elves were engaged in the War of the Ancients, the contemporary emperor of the pandaren empire, Shaohao, and his Monkey King companion successively sealed the manifestations of the Sha exhaled before the death of the Old God Y'shaarj.
Y'shaarj was an Old God, one of the ancient gods that the Void Lords cast into Azeroth to erode the nascent titan world-soul.
Y'shaarj was known as the strongest Old God in Azeroth, forcibly pulled out from beneath the surface of Azeroth and crushed by the titan Aman'Thul. His body scattered across the surface, and the Sha manifestations of negative emotions that he exhaled before his death—doubt, despair, fear, violence, hatred, and anger—were hidden beneath Pandaria.
Shaohao sealed these six Sha and then summoned the pandaren elite from across the nation, establishing the Shado-Pan to be responsible for guarding the seals of the Sha.
After the Great Sundering caused by the explosion of the Well of Eternity, the pandaren emperor Shaohao, who was already at the demigod level, chose to transform into a mist, enveloping the empire's territory, so Pandaria was preserved under the protection of the mist during the cataclysm.
Of course, what was exchanged for this was ten thousand years of isolation. For ten thousand years, the intelligent beings on Azeroth all thought that Pandaria had been destroyed.
What Galen was doing now was inserting druids and archers into Pandaria's territory. He was betting that, after the war, the night elves would receive the blessing of the Dragon Aspects and gain immortality, and that the night elves under his command would also be able to enjoy this benefit!
When he returned to the timeline ten thousand years later, wouldn't he be able to go to Pandaria whenever he wanted?
Hehehe.
But Galen's leisurely days didn't last two days before a half-grown boy came to his door, vowing to take Galen as his teacher and learn the path of the druid.
This made Galen very happy. If he could teach an awesome disciple, and if the druids trained by the Ancient of Lore could truly achieve immortality, then how many of his own people would there be in the Cenarion Circle in the future?
Wouldn't the Cenarion Circle have to listen to Galen?
But when Galen learned that this night elf's name was Fandral, Galen's somewhat excited mood disappeared instantly.
This was Fandral, the child-protecting maniac Fandral!
Although Galen knew that Fandral Staghelm in later generations had a very strong talent in the path of the druid and had obtained the title of Grand Druid, this still could not change the fact that he was a ticking time bomb, who might cause some trouble at any time, endangering Azeroth.
In fact, Galen preferred Naralex and Broll Bearmantle, but so far, he had not discovered their figures. Perhaps they were night elves who were born after the War of the Ancients.
Galen rejected Fandral's request to become his disciple.
The next day, Fandral still came to visit Galen, requesting to become Galen's disciple and learn the path of the druid.
Galen still refused.
On the third day, Fandral arrived as scheduled.
Galen was angry.
"Boy! If you want to learn the path of the druid, you can go to Master Malfurion. He is also a disciple of the god of nature, and also my senior brother. My talent in the path of the druid cannot compare to his, so why do you keep coming to me?"
"Lord Galen, your senior brother Malfurion is too quiet. Compared to him, I think your personality is more suitable to be my mentor."
"Oh? Boy, you're good with words. Say a few more words, you're about to move me."
This Fandral looked about the same age as Shandris, but he was much more mature than Shandris.
The large reduction in the number of night elves had led to some young night elves also beginning to join the resistance, doing their part for the survival of the race. Now Shandris had already come to the front lines with the army of Eldre'Thalas, following Tyrande.
"Lord Malfurion is indeed very strong, but I have watched the battles between our army and the demons of the Burning Legion, and I have found that he prefers to use natural spells, summoning storms, lightning, thorns, and plant roots to kill demons."
"There's no problem with that. Doesn't that prove that my senior brother is favored by nature, and even nature is willing to help him against the enemy!"
"But, Lord Galen, I prefer your fighting style! Spellcasters, including Malfurion, cast spells in a safe environment, and it is easy for them to fail to cast spells because the enemy gets close. And you transform into a giant bear, rampaging through the demon army as if you were in no man's land. You are simply a model for us, and the object of my study!"
Oh, oh, oh, this little rainbow fart is well-done, Galen admitted that he was a little proud.
Although he could only transform into a bear, and was at most a beginner druid, not as good as a grand druid like Malfurion, but his personal charm was much stronger than yours, Malfurion!
However, Galen also understood Fandral's meaning, which was that he wanted to become a feral druid, a master of claws, rather than a caster of natural spells like Malfurion!
Galen's thoughts turned. He really couldn't accept disciples casually. It was boring to accept those without talent, and he couldn't find the ones he wanted. Now there was only one Fandral who had come to his door, and he was still a famous figure in the future, and belonged to the number three person among the night elves.
Should he accept him or not?
Fandral never imagined that after visiting Galen three times, this renowned powerhouse would actually be willing to take him as a student!
The Staghelm family had experienced a demonic invasion, and now he was the only one left. Originally alone and without support, he decided to give it a try, and unexpectedly, it worked!
"Fandral Staghelm greets teacher Galen, greetings to both Shimus (teacher's wives). From now on, I will cherish you and the Shimus as if you were my own parents!" Fandral cried with joy.
Galen secretly gave his new disciple a thumbs up, expressing his satisfaction.
The Windrunner sisters witnessed Galen's acceptance of a disciple. Alleria was stunned by Fandral's words, and her face flushed with embarrassment for a moment, while Sylvanas generously nodded to Fandral.
Sylvanas' nod and Galen's thumbs-up made Fandral smile.
"Hey, Fandral, you're getting happy too soon. Perhaps becoming my disciple is the beginning of your suffering?"
"Uh…" Fandral looked bewildered. It turned out that his teacher on the battlefield wasn't his whole self. Perhaps this Galen, with a mischievous look of success, was his true teacher.
What could he do?
The apprenticeship ceremony was already completed, so he couldn't go back on his word, right?
Otherwise, there would be no place for him among the night elves in the future!
While Jarod was still deploying troops, Galen began to teach Fandral some basic druidic spells. These were the knowledge that the demigod Cenarius and Malfurion had personally taught him in the Cenarion Enclave. Galen didn't learn them immediately at the time, so he recorded them, never expecting them to come in handy today.
The profound knowledge of the Way of Nature and the peaceful druidic teachings captivated Fandral, and he was grateful that his teacher could impart such profound knowledge to him.
Galen could be said to have stumbled into this by mistake. He never realized that Cenarius had imparted all his knowledge to him back then.
Of course, in addition to theoretical knowledge, Galen's teaching method naturally couldn't be separated from practical combat, which was fully demonstrated in the paladin training camp.
Galen transformed into a bear form and chased Fandral all over the place. Galen didn't hold back, sweeping with his bear claws, striking with his bear paws, and pressing down hard on Fandral when he caught him, showing no mercy because Fandral was not yet an adult.
Anyway, he beat him to death, forcing him to become familiar with using Wrath to attack, Rejuvenation to heal, and Entangling Roots to control!
Finally, Fandral became a novice druid in just a few days!
The day before the commando set off, Galen took Fandral to try using the druid's special meditation method to enter the Emerald Dream, found the bear demigod Ursoc, who was recovering his spirit in the Emerald Dream, and learned the knowledge of the bear under the guidance of the demigod, successfully transforming into bear form.
The next day, Jarod led the entire army to attack, trying to defeat Archimonde and invade Zin-Azshari.
Archimonde also hoped to offer a decisive victory as a gift to his master's arrival.
The battle began directly in the most intense state. Three-colored dragons were using dragon breath to wash the ground, while also fighting against Archimonde's sky-covering evil bats.
Red Dragon Alexstrasza and Green Dragon Queen Ysera stood ready in the rebel army to deal with Archimonde, who might personally take action!
At the same time, a dragon squadron bypassed the main battlefield and air-dropped five figures into Zin-Azshari.
After landing, Galen looked around and found a lot of burning marks. He recognized that these were the marks of dragon breath attacks, which should be the work of the dragon squadron that appeared during the demons' massacre of the city.
So he said to Malfurion, Tyrande, and the Windrunner sisters, who landed one after another: "This should be the east of the city, not far from Galharra, where we are going."
"When Tyrande landed, she stepped on something.
It was a skull.
She found herself landing right in the middle of a pile of bones, at least the remains of five or six people.
None of the skeletons here were complete, and many bones had long scratches and deeper tooth marks. This tragic sight made Tyrande shiver.
At this time, she also found that Sylvanas and Alleria were in the same situation as her, but the two of them were not afraid at all, as if they were used to this kind of killing field.
Alleria had participated in the great war with the trolls, and Sylvanas had recently obtained the artifact she had dreamed of with the trolls' heads. The two women were not ordinary high elves, so naturally they would not be disturbed by a few corpses.
"They all died in the first massacre by the demons. The dragon squadron once helped the residents of the east of the city, but unfortunately, not everyone was lucky enough to escape Zin-Azshari."
Galen felt a little regretful. At that time, he still had a lot of return scrolls left, but unfortunately there was not enough time. Saving so many people in the south of the city was already his limit, and he couldn't help more.
Malfurion also comforted him at this time: "Tyrande, when this operation is successful, we will save everyone. After that, you will be able to pray for them."
Galen thought, when we successfully close the portal, the Well of Eternity below the portal will also explode due to the energy riot. I am afraid that this Zin-Azshari will no longer exist. Where will the corpses come from for Tyrande to pray for?
"Oh, my foolish brother, are you still so compassionate after experiencing the war?"
Malfurion was shocked, looked up, and a familiar figure appeared from the ruins of the street corner. He covered his eyes, but Malfurion knew in advance that he was Illidan because of the feeling between brothers!
Sylvanas and Alleria had never seen Illidan, but as high elves, they sensed the evil energy in Illidan's body, and the longbows in their hands were immediately raised.
Seeing that they were about to shoot, Galen reached out to stop their attack.
And Malfurion looked at the night elf who came over, with a look of surprise: "Illidan! You really came! But your eyes… what happened!"
Seeing his brother caring about him so much, Illidan's heart softened, but seeing Tyrande on the side, he remembered his failed confession, and his brother had already won Tyrande's heart!
He, Illidan, was frustrated in love!
Seeing the good mood of his two relatives, he instantly became very bad: "Stop talking nonsense, what do you want me for using telepathy! If there is nothing wrong, I am leaving to complete the new task my master gave me!"
"It's Galen, Galen told us that your betrayal was to infiltrate the Burning Legion and then find a plan to destroy their plan!" Tyrande saw Illidan's unhappiness, and also knew why Illidan was unhappy, so she explained.
Only then did Illidan turn his gaze to Galen!
Illidan and Galen exchanged a glance. Both were tall and handsome, but Illidan's expression was gloomy, exuding a sinister aura, while Galen was full of sunshine!
Galen noticed that two balls of fire were burning in Illidan's eye sockets. Fel energy replaced his eyes, yet he could still perceive the world around him.
At the same time, these fel eyes allowed him to perceive the precise locations of demons around him more clearly, leading to the creation of the Demon Hunter profession later on.
This was Galen's first real meeting with Illidan, although Galen had long known of Illidan's existence and was even very familiar with his life trajectory.
Illidan had also learned of Galen's existence a year ago, and his feelings towards Galen were quite complex. On one hand, Galen's existence was like a mirrored version of himself!
Illidan abandoned the slow practice of druidic magic, choosing the traditional and primitive arcane energy that was popular among the Highborne elves.
Galen was a nobleman of Highborne descent, and it was even rumored that he graduated from the famous Naxxramas Academy of Magic! However, he resolutely abandoned arcane magic, became an apprentice of Cenarius, and devoted himself to the path of the druid!
Illidan first joined the resistance army, and later, spurred by Tyrande and Malfurion, he chose to feign allegiance to Queen Azshara and the Burning Legion!
But before him, Galen had been working undercover in Zin-Azshari, providing a large amount of intelligence to the resistance army. He even labeled each type of demon with its name, detailing its special abilities and weaknesses, which greatly helped the resistance army. This was also why Galen was able to quickly gain a foothold in the resistance army.
The events of the past year or so had brought tremendous changes to Illidan's life, and meeting Galen today made him feel a strange sensation.
Illidan: I feel like I've been living in his shadow!
But even so, Illidan also had a sense of mutual appreciation in his heart. When everyone, including Tyrande and Malfurion, thought he was truly betraying them, only Galen spoke out his true purpose!
"Alright, we don't have much time left, we need to carry out your plan quickly!"
After Galen finished speaking, he issued an instruction in his mind. Broxigar, who was far outside the city, activated the teleportation scepter. A flash of white light later, the orc warrior arrived directly beside Galen.
"It's you!"
"Heh!"
The moment Broxigar's figure appeared, the atmosphere between Illidan and him instantly became tense. Broxigar even prepared his oak war axe.
"Illidan! Broxigar!" Tyrande came directly in front of the two, interrupting their confrontation. "What's wrong with you two!"
"It's nothing, Tyrande, just a small misunderstanding." Illidan tossed his head and took the lead towards the direction of Gul'dan's summoning site.
"That's right, Priestess, it is indeed a small misunderstanding!" Broxigar put away his axe and stood directly behind Galen.
It seems Broxigar and Illidan have a little history.
Galen thought, looking at Illidan, and then followed behind him.
The journey was not smooth. As Sargeras' countdown to entering Azeroth continued, the city was heavily guarded. It wasn't quite a guard every five steps and a sentry every ten steps, but it was close.
Galen transformed into a giant bear and rampaged through the streets, attracting all the demons' attention to himself. Then, Illidan, wielding his twin blades, and Broxigar, wielding his oak war axe, engaged in close combat. Sylvanas, Alleria, and Malfurion provided ranged support, and Tyrande provided support at any time.
"Ah! It's that blind man!"
"Illidan! He betrayed Her Majesty the Queen!"
"Kill him!"
Along the way, in addition to the demons, there were also many Highborne guards. They discovered Illidan's existence and abandoned their siege on Galen, turning to attack Illidan!
This is?
OT?
Illidan, with just his face, directly made Galen, the bear tank, lose aggro.
Facing dozens of Highborne guards, Illidan held two strangely shaped warblades in his hands. The warblades were emerald green, resembling jade!
Warglaives of Azzinoth!
Galen didn't expect that Illidan had already acquired this artifact at this time. Before, he was still thinking about finding a chance to steal this artifact!
Tyrande cast a layer of protective magic on everyone. Under the protection of the moonlit shield, Illidan slaughtered in the combined forces of demons and elves. The Highborne elves' surprised counterattacks could not harm Illidan at all.
Soon, the surrounding enemies were cleared away.
Just as everyone relaxed, in the dark corners, two lurking Felhounds suddenly pounced out, their target being Illidan, who was wiping the Warglaives of Azzinoth!
Illidan didn't even react before he was knocked to the ground. Two Felhounds held down Illidan's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right. Tyrande and Malfurion were shocked and were about to step forward to help.
But before they could approach Illidan, they heard Illidan's mocking laughter filled with evil:
"Do you want to fight me for my magic? Then come on!"
Then, Illidan's hands grabbed the tentacles of the two Felhounds, and a burst of green light flashed on his body.
The Felhounds kept twisting their bodies, making painful wails.The bodies of the Felhounds became shriveled as they wailed, while Illidan's face was filled with joy."Star-absorbing technique?
"No, it's Mana Burn!The Felhounds desperately tried to retract the appendages that were absorbing their magic, but Illidan's grip was quite strong, and their struggles were in vain.
Tyrande and Malfurion could clearly see that as the green fel tattoos on Illidan's body circulated, the Felhounds turned to dust because the energy on their bodies was absorbed by him, scattering with the wind.
Tyrande had a look of horror on her face. This was no longer the Illidan she grew up with. What was the difference between such a violent, bloodthirsty person and a demon?Unlike the disgust that arose in Tyrande's heart, Malfurion felt heartache. God of Nature, please guide me and tell me what to do to save my brother!
The team fell into silence. Galen, the Windrunner sisters, and Broxigar were indifferent, acting like spectators.
"The Courtyard of Light is ahead. We need to go to the roof," Illidan said in a commanding tone, "From a high place, we can observe the situation in the courtyard!"
"Illidan, don't think that just because you killed a few mobs, you've become the leader of the team!"
"Huh?""
I'm more familiar with the situation of the demon portal than you are.
Now, get behind me!"
