Hearing this familiar name again after thousands of years, Yin Lidan's joking expression stiffened, and his expression turned gloomy.
"You mean... Azshara is still alive?"
Sarlayan smiled and shrugged: "Otherwise? As someone who has personally come into contact with the Light of Light, you should know her strength better than anyone else. Do you really think Azshara will die in Eternity?" In the big explosion of the well?”
"Yeah... indeed."
Yin Lidan pondered and said: "Even with my current strength, I still can't guarantee that I can defeat Azshara...even if she has lost the infinite energy blessed by the Well of Eternity."
Azshara transcended the mortal world and became a demigod thousands of years ago. Although she inevitably had the help of the Well of Eternity, she did realize her potential and came out step by step. Same.
You can guess with your buttocks that during these ten thousand years, Azshara's strength cannot remain unchanged, let alone decline.
Even if it's not as strong as she was when she was able to fight off polluters and deceivers with the Well of Eternity behind her back, I think it should be not far behind.
Sarlayan has confirmed that Yin Lidan's current strength is level 62, the same as Aneseron.
Even at the same level, due to the difference in combat experience and combat talent, Yin Lidan can easily handle the Dread Lord who is not good at frontal combat.
When he met Azshara before, Sarlayan did not dare to throw the Eagle Eye Technique on her, but judging from the sense of pressure that the light in the light unconsciously released, it would definitely be stronger than the current Yin Lidan, and much stronger.
From the perspective of protecting Azeroth, Yin Lidan did not have a good impression of Azshara. After all, the ancient war thousands of years ago was caused by her.
However, Yin Lidan is very realistic. As long as he can obtain enough troops, he doesn't care who provides these soldiers. He is confident that he can surrender the people sent by Azshara in the future.
After confirming Yin Lidan's attitude towards Azshara, Sarlayan, who was pressed for time, had no time to explain to him that Azshara had long since changed her ways.
"Because of your current status, you are no longer suitable to appear on the frontal battlefield openly. I think you are aware of this yourself."
Yin Lidan nodded nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter if everyone in Azeroth doesn't understand me. I know what I'm doing, and that's enough."
"Facing Archimonde the Defiler, I urgently need more power. No matter what the cost, Azeroth must defeat him!"
"About this..." Sarlayan smiled and assured Yin Lidan: "As you said, as long as the night elves are willing to pay a sufficient price, I am more than 80% sure that Archimonde will be buried in Azeroth. Lars.”
Yin Lidan's eyes filled with evil energy flickered slightly behind his blindfold: "Why do you dare to give such a guarantee? Show me evidence to convince me."
"evidence?"
Sarlayan shook his head and laughed, raising his hand to point to the towering World Tree: "The evidence is the legacy of the Well of Eternity that you left for Azeroth - the huge energy source called the World Tree."
"The... legacy of the Well of Eternity?" Yin Lidan put his chin in his hand and pondered for a moment, and soon showed a look of surprise: "I see, I understand what you mean, but... are you sure those short-sighted night elves will give it up? Such a big sacrifice.”
Sharlayan: "It's not up to them to decide. You should know Malfurion's character better than I do, right? Do you think that at the critical moment of Azeroth's survival, he would be reluctant to give up the so-called racial immortality?"
"of course not."
Yin Lidan gave the answer without hesitation: "Malfurion is indeed more indecisive at times, but when he really needs to stand up and make a decision to shoulder the safety of Azeroth, he has never let me down. Not once."
"That's fine then."
Sarlayan smiled and changed the subject: "Compared with Archimonde's almost destined ending, I have a more important thing to entrust to you."
…
Watching Yin Lidan spread his wings and leave, Valeera, who had been keeping silent beside Sarlayan, asked her doubts.
"Are you sure he will act according to your plan? This person... I always feel that he is not controllable."
"Ha~"
While transforming into the form of a griffon, Sarlayan chuckled and said, "As expected of a professional in intelligence, you are very accurate."
"Yin Lidan Stormrage, he is indeed not a person who follows the rules. On the contrary, many of his behaviors are very deviant and cannot be accepted by the world."
"but……"
When taking Vali La and flying towards Durotar, Sarlayan said with a hint: "Don't just look at his incomprehensible actions, focus on the true intentions behind all his actions. .”
"All Yin Lidan's actions follow the most basic principle."
"Protect Azeroth, the only love of his life - the home world where Tyrande Whisperwind lives."
"So, it's best to look at Yin Lidan and ignore his intentions. At least for now, he is an ally worthy of my trust."
Valeela rolled her eyes angrily: "To put it nicely, what kind of ally? A useful tool, right?"
Sarlayan smiled and did not answer: "Whatever you say, in short, the next change in the situation in Northrend depends on what surprises Yin Lidan can bring us."
Valeela still looked at the direction where Yin Lidan left with some worry: "Double agent... Look at his straightforward style of boss, my second brother, can he really play such a complicated role well?"
[Don’t tell me, it’s really possible. Valeera still underestimates Yin Lidan’s ability to bend and stretch. 】
[After all, Valeera does not have the vision of God like Sarlayan and can know Yin Lidan's future achievements in advance. It is normal to have such doubts. 】
[Double-sided agents, this kind of thing is nothing more than basic knowledge for Yin Lidan. 】
[He did it once ten thousand years ago, and got a powerful evil energy from Sargeras. This time he just repeated the same trick. 】
[But Valeera’s worries are not entirely unfounded. 】
[Due to the changes Xiaosha made to history, many things are very different from the original history. It is still unknown whether Yin Lidan can gain Kil'jaeden's trust. 】
The commission Sharlayan gave to Yin Lidan was not easy. He needed Yin Lidan, who was acting alone for the time being, to gain Kil'jaeden's trust and defraud the fraudster into the first pot of gold from scratch.
As Tichondrius failed to open up the situation, Kil'jaeden gradually lost patience with him. At this time, he should be looking for an alternative character more suitable to kill Ner'zhul.
It happened that at this moment, Yin Lidan, who had just transformed himself into a demon, took the initiative to come to the door.
As early as 10,000 years ago, Yin Lidan had served for the Burning Legion. At that time, he also gained the trust of Sargeras and gave him evil powers.
Now Sargeras has long been in seclusion, concentrating on studying how to corrupt the souls of the Titans, and leaving all affairs of the Burning Legion to the Deceivers and Defilers.
Due to Yin Lidan's repeated leaps during the ancient war, his position is still confusing, and fraudsters are not sure which side this guy is on.
However, Kil'jaeden, who is very confident in his own wisdom and strength, is confident that he can handle a high-level demon who has just become a demigod. He should still be on guard while using Yin Lidan, and judge Yin Lidan's true position based on his actual actions. .
However, this is of no use. Yin Lidan...or what Sarlayan hopes Yin Lidan can do is to successfully retrieve an artifact from the Tomb of Sargeras - the Eye of Sargeras.
The Tomb of Sargeras has long become one of the Burning Legion's bases in Azeroth. If he rushes in without warning in advance, Gul'dan's fate will be a lesson to others.
While the Frozen Throne is still intact, it will not be easy even for the demon army led by Tichondrius to break through the solid Ice Crown Fortress.
Yin Lidan's mission is the same as his own in the original history, using the power of the Eye of Sargeras to bombard the Frozen Throne from a distance.
However, unlike the original history where he insisted on destroying the Frozen Throne and killing Ner'zhul regardless of Azeroth's own damage, this time, Sharlayan explained the specific targets to him in advance.
Yin Lidan does not need to completely smash the Frozen Throne. If necessary, someone will stand up and interrupt the progress of his ceremony. At that time, Yin Lidan only needs to withdraw as the situation goes.
As for how to explain to Kil'jaeden?
Let me tell you the truth, as long as Ner'zhul is greatly weakened and unable to control the Helm of Dominance, he can seize the throne of the Lich King, and Yin Lidan, who has transferred to the outer lands to develop his power, will be able to obtain the powerful Scourge Legion differently from the original history. ally.
Unless Kil'jaeden became angry and personally led his troops to attack with all his strength when Archimonde destroyed a large number of Legion elites, it would not be that easy to capture Draenor, which was backed by reinforcements from Azeroth.
"By the way..."
On the way to Durotar's rescue, Sarlayan thoughtfully asked the barrage: "In the timeline you know, when did Magtheridon begin to come to Outland? "
