Chapter 688 Rise of the Demon Hunter
In Kane's eyes, Illidan Stormrage is a qualified leader.
However, if Kane was in the position of a pawn, he would not choose to join Illidan's team. This big guy sacrificed his younger brother without blinking his eyelids, and it was a typical unscrupulous way.
The perseverance in Illidan's heart has been very, very little.
According to Kane, there are only two.
Number one, Tyrande. It represents Illidan's last persistence in emotion.
The second, kill the devil. It represents the last persistence of Illidan's career.
Illidan does not claim to be righteous, but he is proud of these two sticks, and self-righteous.
The 10,000-year Battle of the Well of Eternity was divided into several stages. Among them, the Battle of Black Rook Castle made Illidan learn and gradually get used to sacrifice.
As time goes by, many reasons have become unimportant, what is important is how to choose when encountering things.
Illidan chose to make a deal with Kil'jaeden this time, and for this he did not hesitate to carry a deadly contract like the original historical line.
In the original historical line, Illidan became a dog when he saw Kil'jaeden. In order to avoid Kil'jaeden, he fled to the broken world of Draenor. The reason lies in this contract.
The Burning Legion never tolerates losers and betrayers, and Kil'jaeden is not a volunteer for poverty alleviation. It is not so easy to get power from it.
The original history line is that Tyrande faced the invasion of the Burning Legion and Cenarius was hacked to death by Grom Hellscream. He forcibly ran to release Illidan and let him fight the crisis together.
This time the situation is similar, of course, some places are much worse, for example, Cenarius is not killed, and it is not the Burning Legion that fights, but the Qiraji.
In the Battle of Quicksand more than a thousand years ago, under the background of the dragon army participating in the battle, the sons of Fandral Staghelmet all died in Silithus. One can imagine the tragedy of that battle.
But this time, the Dragon Legion disappeared collectively, and it seemed impossible to count on it. Tyrande also had no choice but to unite all available forces as much as possible. This thought of Illidan.
But the boss of the watchmen, the warden of the prison on Watch Island, and his younger brother, Maiev Shadowsong, had a deep resentment towards Illidan because of his younger brother's death, and he refused to accommodate him.
And the situation at that time was not so bad that Tyrande had to do everything possible, including killing the watcher and releasing Illidan.
So Tyrande didn't make it, but Kil'jaeden did.
Cordana Evilsong, the Captain of the Watchers who betrayed in the Legion's Second Coming chapter of the original historical line, was successfully corrupted by Kil'jaeden.
It can only be said that things happen for a reason, why not someone else? Because others are not as extreme as Cordana, and have fatal shortcomings.
When Tyrande made a big fuss on Watch Island, Cordana took advantage of the loophole, released Illidan, and dumped Tuo Xiang to Tyrande, making people think that this operation was caused by Cordana and Tyrande It was discussed and planned early in the morning. Cordana has proved her identity as a member of the Burning Legion through the demonstration of strength and the merciless killing of her former sisters during the rescue process. What about Tyrande?
In short, this incident once again proved that the problems Kane criticized about the Shadow Elves in the past were not to be critical, but really worth thinking about. Tyrande, who has lived for more than 10,000 years, is actually the leader of the Night Elves at this level of politics. It is said that the night elves have been limped by Cenarius' natural way, and they continue to drink blood and degenerate to Rumao, which is really not black.
Politics is not a game for one person. A leader like Tyrande has been able to be a leader for more than 10,000 years. It can only be said that there is a problem with the night elves. It is only a matter of time before things like Sylvanas burning trees happen. That's all.
Illidan escaped from prison, so Tyrande was discredited and fell into a series of troubles. Illidan secretly recorded this favor. He felt that in this world,
Only Tyrande trusted him and was willing to run for him at critical moments.
This actually formed a benign interaction, and once again catered to the saying that there is no love and hate without a reason in the world. If Illidan is the only one who is devoted and loyal, it will appear that the love is empty and false. .
Not long after Illidan got out of trouble, he started to make waves. His personal charm is also acceptable, and there are many high-borne elves and night elves who have become elites. They will not be imprisoned for thousands of years because of Illidan. People are scarce.
Gathering a group of followers and joining the naga, Illidan wrested control of the Tomb of Sargeras from the Scourge in one fell swoop, and even the nightfallen elves fell under its mighty power.
Of course, not only because the nightfallen high-level gang has long since lost the soft bones of enterprising spirit, but also because Illidan became famous 10,000 years ago. Many people admire Illidan's past actions and think that such a powerful person can A leader who can lead the nightfallen elves out of the sluggish situation for many years and restore their former glory.
As for the guardian Magna Aegwynn, she could only watch the whole process. She passed the power of the guardian to her son Medivh, but Medivh used it to open the door of darkness.
Aegwynn later resurrected Medivh with his own power.
So she herself is already an empty shell. If there are a few powerful thugs who are strong enough and willing to listen to her assignments, she may be able to do something, but all these years, she has lived alone in the world, whether it is Sargeras The guardians of the tomb, or the Kirin Tor Council, lack interaction. Where can I find dry goods at critical moments? This is the same as spending money lavishly and being caught blind when spending a large amount of money seriously.
Illidan won the Tomb of Sargeras, and even the Broken Isles, and established his dominance. At the same time, he also had an account for his employer, Kil'jaeden.
Kil'jaeden has been more concerned about attacking Azeroth than Archimonde since being scolded by Kane.
In addition, it is not very good with Archimonde, who has long been friends who want to wear a pair of pants. Kil'jaeden has always regarded himself as the number two figure in the Burning Legion, and feels that he, the chief of the general staff, should be in the position of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. over mond.
So how do you prove yourself better? Attacking Azeroth is obviously a project where you can compete for who is more capable. Therefore, Kil'jaeden's actions are very clear from Archimonde's, and he even deliberately kept it from Archimonde.
If the subordinates are able to do things well, the boss will give some sweetness.
The same goes for Kil'jaeden.
Illidan's sweetness is fel energy and related technologies. Relying on this, and the head of Gul'dan found in the tomb of Sargeras, Illidan successfully consolidated and improved his status as a demon hunter, and in order to walk out of his own path , laid a solid foundation.
In short, being strong makes people follow, and victory strengthens confidence. Illidan's victory in the Broken Isles allowed him to get the first bonus, thus fulfilling part of the original promise.
The Illidari group was born and became the core force of the organization.
The joining of the naga is tantamount to adding a powerful navy to the Broken Isles, which made the Lich King's two attempts to seize control of the Tomb of Sargeras ended in failure.
Perhaps it was because Illidan, Kane, and Karel were the same kind of people to a certain extent. Illidan quickly noticed the war in the Eastern Continent, and discovered that he had become a death lord at that time, and commanded the Scourge in the Eastern Continent. Karel of all the remnants of the mainland.
However, the specific opportunity to subdue Karel was offered by the Dreadlords themselves.
The Lich King's second betrayal, for the Dreadlords, it's not a bad thing to say.
Looking at their performance over the years, they have become synonymous with incompetence and failure. Not even a decent thing was done.
Malganis was killed by Uther, and the deity had to be punished at the base camp of the Burning Legion Expedition, so what about the remaining two?
Bannazar said, you said that building blocks are building blocks, and you said that things happen for a reason. In the original historical line, Lao Tzu started with death, and from bright to dark, a series of turbulence and control play, how can it be a wave? Get a false name?
So at the critical moment, Balnazar slipped away, and the Scarlet Crusade was established, and it was Balnazar's handwriting.
To be more specific, when the natural disaster raided Port Fao, the leaders of the natural disaster side had different concerns. Alsace and Kel'Thuzad focused on how to escape victoriously, while Balnazar focused on how to escape. Create more golems.
Although the Lich King's actions are considered secretive, don't forget that the fearful demon kings are also wary of the Lich King, and Banazar is responsible for it.
Bannazar chose several targets at that time, including Fording's wife. Unfortunately, Fording's wife was always protected by a shadow. With his plan, when the general situation was over, he decisively killed Fording's wife first, so that Bannazar could not capture the soul of Fording's wife.
After that, Balnazar turned his attention to Dathrohan's family, and this time it succeeded, and took Dathrohan as a threat. Of course, Dathrohan’s family members were not spared in the end. It can only be said that even in the old world, when faced with such a thing as coercion of their family members, there are very few people who can make up their minds not to save them but to take revenge. Most of them operate with unrealistic hopes, and the result is
With the help of Dathrohan and the Scarlet Crusade, at least in the eyes of the Burning Legion boss, Balnazar was considered a useful person, and won the opportunity to take the blame and make meritorious service.
And what about Varimathras?
Varimathras said, Lao Tzu was famous for his appearance in the original history line, if Cirvanas voted, Illidan couldn't vote?
Illidan's boss is Kil'jaeden, which is also our army, right? It’s no shame not to vote, right?
Therefore, Varimathras' self-rescue became a bridge for Karel to connect with Illidan.
The reason why Illidan took the initiative to find Varimathras was because Kil'jaeden was obsessed with Kane's talk, and ordered Illidan to use geological weapons to continue attacking Garin City.
If you want to attack Garin City, you need to have the exact coordinates of Garin City. Illidan doesn't have much power in the Eastern Continent. Even if some Quel'Thalas elves buy him, it won't help.
This is because the Stormrage brothers were of relatively ordinary background back then, not highborne, and Quel'Thalas is a country with Dath'Remar as the core of the highborne, which is why the original history line is black. The reason Kael'thas would call Illidan a deaf, blind, brutish night elf bastard.
Deaf, is to describe Illidan self-willed, unable to listen to advice.
Blind, this is a fact, Illidan sacrificed some things in order to obtain fel energy, but he has ghost vision and eye ridges, it seems that it is not a bad loss.
Rough, that is, Illidan's style and origin.
As for hybrids, demon hunters themselves have demon blood, and even have very intuitive external manifestations, such as hooves, wings, and demon horns.
So Kael'thas's cursing is not without reason. Blackening has made him unscrupulous. In the past, he may have slandered at most, but now he dares to spray directly no matter what the occasion.
Illidan was on the side of the Quel'Thalas elves and lacked contacts. If he wanted to obtain information, he naturally had to rely on the Dreadlord. These guys who are good at manipulating people's hearts often collect information by the way, and many of them are secrets.
As a result, after Karel interacted with Illidan, he quickly discovered that they were the same kind of people.
Both have discovered the unscrupulous side of each other's soul, which means that loyalty is a joke for people like them, and betrayal will happen whenever necessary.
Illidan said, I now have the Broken Isles, the Tomb of Sargeras, Sharadassil, Neltharion's Lair, Suramar, and the remains of the Highborne. These resources are developed enough to become the world's Yiji, if you are willing to join, there is still a suitable seat now, and it is entirely possible to inherit all of this in the future. After all, my ambition is to kill the Burning Legion. Sooner or later, I will leave Azeroth and attack the old lair of the Burning Legion. .
Karel readily sold Varimathras, and the first gift he gave after joining Illidan was a piece of advice: I suggest you not touch Garin City, and let the missing Garin Thorbane I owe you a favor. Why? You can visit Galin Thorbane's past and see his achievements.
Illidan listened to these words, because since his career, he has always been related to Jialin from time to time.
This time, with Karel's suggestion, he will learn more about it. Then he gasped.
Malfurion, Tyrande, and Illidan, among the three flag-bearers of the night elves, Illidan is the one with the most eyesight.
Illidan saw the horror of Galin Thorbane, and believed that although Karel's statement was gone, the world still lived under its shadow, and with that person's ability, even if he went to the Netherworld, he could still Killed.
Therefore, Illidan listened to Karel's suggestion and did not move Garin City.
He attacked Icecrown Citadel with geological weapons.
It's a pity that the Lich King has an ally of the Eternal Dragon, who has known for a long time the tragic experience of being restricted by geological weapons and almost "losing power", so he specially made arrangements, and it has already decisively fought against Alsace eareone, so naturally it will not repeat the same mistakes.
Illidan attacked the Lich King mainly because he wanted to give an explanation to Kil'jaeden. After all, the Lich King betrayed the Burning Legion for the second time. A few slaps in the face can be said to be twice the result with half the effort to win the favor of the Burning Legion's high-level officials. Illidan also doesn't want to pull the flag too early, and wants to hang around for a while.
The result failed, so Illidan turned to attack the Sunwell of Quel'Danas Road, causing the Sunwell to crack and leak energy.
Illidan did this mainly for the gimmick effect, to tell the world that I have a strategic weapon, and whoever provokes it will be unlucky.
In addition, Illidan had a reason to attack the Sunwell. Before the Well of Eternity exploded, he stole a few bottles of well water from the Well of Eternity, but was arrested and those bottles of well water were also confiscated.
The founder of Quel'Thalas, Dath'Remar, stole the water from the well and established the Sunwell, which made him king. Mom sells skin, how much better is his face than Lao Tzu? As a result, I was in prison, his mother was the king, and everyone commented, should I vent this bad breath?
In any case, the rise of Illidan's forces, especially the capture of the Tomb of Sargeras, changed the situation in Azeroth in one fell swoop, bringing the war between the Scourge and the Human Alliance to an end in advance.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. The Burning Legion poured into Azeroth from the cursed land at the southernmost tip of the Eastern Continent, and the Ahn'Qiraj, the ancient god, caused a storm in Silithus at the southernmost tip of Kalimdor. . And it also involved Alakir, the wind elemental king of neighboring Uldum, two ancient gods, C'Thun and N'Zoth, and joined forces
