Magtheridon is a brave warrior of the Anihellan clan known as the Lord of the Abyss. In terms of combat power, his combat power is only lower than that of the race leader Mannoroth.
In the original history, Magtheridon was the king of Outland before Yin Lidan, and his home base was the long-abandoned Draenei temple - Karabo.
Under Magtheridon's rule, the Temple of Karabor was renamed the Black Temple, which was home to a large number of demons from the Twisting Nether.
According to Kurdran Wildhammer, who just returned to Azeroth not long ago, he has always suspected that there is a high-level demon with a transcendent status in the Black Temple.
Unfortunately, due to the insufficient strength of the expeditionary force stationed in the Wildhammer Fortress, and adequate defense but inability to attack, Kurdran's men were never able to penetrate into the Black Temple to collect more detailed intelligence.
Sarlayan's question started a big discussion on the barrage.
Some people think that Magtheridon has already followed Kazak to the Outland, but their respective divisions of labor are different.
The evidence is the evil orcs who still occupy Hellfire Citadel.
In the eyes of most people in Azeroth, any orc who has been contaminated with demon blood can be called an evil orc.
But in fact, this perception is not accurate.
The real evil orcs are different from the green-skinned orcs who still retain a lot of self-consciousness. These guys whose brains were burned out by evil energy have even weirder dark red skin, which is the sequelae of drinking the blood of demons many times.
According to Danath Trollbane, the red-skinned fel orcs entrenched in Hellfire Citadel are mainly composed of the Shattered Hand clan.
The Shattered Hand clan and the Warsong clan are both one of the most warlike clans among the orc tribes.
The Warsong Clan advocates using one's own strength on the battlefield to gain glory in their minds.
Compared with the Warsong Clan, the Shattered Hand Clan, which is made up of mutilated orcs, is more extreme and cruel. Their leader, Kargath Bladefist, is ridiculed as a butcher with no honor even among his own clan. .
The birth of the Fel Orcs comes from drinking the blood of demons many times. So the question is, who did the demon blood that the Broken Hand clan later drank come from?
Some barrages believe that the source of these evil orcs is Magtheridon.
But some people think that Magtheridon failed to arrive in time like in the original history, otherwise he would not have sat back and watched Kazak defeat the Dark Portal.
Both sides had their own theories, and they all sounded quite reasonable, but no one could convince the other in a short period of time.
In the original history, Yin Lidan defeated the powerful Magtheridon with difficulty with the help of Kael'thas, Vashj, Akama and others who led their own troops, and then ascended to the throne of the King of Outland. .
On this timeline where Sharlayan is located, Sharlayan plans to contact Queen Azshara first and inform her of the latest research results of Druin led by Fandral Staghelm.
By the way, Azshara was entrusted to send Vashqi to lead a group of elite Nagas to follow Yin Lidan to the outside world to help.
As for Akama, that's even better.
Before Akama's heart knot is resolved, he probably won't be able to return to the Draini tribe with confidence.
In this case, it is just right for him to follow Yin Lidan as Sarlayan's spy.
Even if Yin Lidan could guess who was behind Akama, he probably wouldn't care based on his character, as long as Akama and his Ashtongue Deathsworn could reflect their own value.
However, the blood elves in the original history were destined to be unable to follow Yin Lidan to Draenor, and were replaced by the Scourge Legion after a different day.
Even if the Mag'har orcs and the Alliance troops remaining in Draenor are eliminated, when Yin Lidan attacks the Black Temple, the forces at his disposal will not be weaker than in the original history, and may even be stronger.
If Magtheridon is squatting in the Dark Temple, with the power that Yin Lidan can control by then, it shouldn't be a big problem to capture this powerful Abyss Lord.
Of course, the premise is that Sarlayan's plan can go as smoothly as expected.
…
As Sharlayan and Valeela hurriedly flew over Ashenvale toward Durotar, the battle on the frontline at the border between Ashenvale and the Barrens finally changed.
After all, Fandal is not Yin Lidan with amazing fighting talent. The demon hunter can suppress the doomsday lord Kazluoga, but Fandal looks a little embarrassed when resisting Kazluoga's attack.
There is indeed a gap in combat power between Fandral and Yin Lidan, but strictly speaking it is not too big.
The reason for this situation is mainly because Kazloga's originally injured wings gradually began to recover, which significantly increased the pressure on Fandral when resisting the enemy's attack.
Under Jarod's control, the frontline defenders, who were gradually falling into a disadvantage, managed to hold on for another week or so, but in the end they had to abandon the battlefield on the border of Ashenvale and save their strength to retreat to the next line of defense.
Yin Lidan's escape was indeed somewhat beyond Garrod's expectations, but overall, the retreat was only about 3 days earlier than Garrod expected.
The two vanguard generals who led the main force of the Burning Legion to attack the defense line were both demigod-level demons. It was not easy for Maiev and Fandral to persist for such a long time with the help of various objective conditions created by Jarod.
"The most difficult time will be next..."
On the way to evacuate along the Ashenvale Road to Felwood Forest, Jarod looked worriedly at the local battlefield near the tree dwelling in the forest.
The demons of the Burning Legion have already penetrated into all the areas controlled by the night elves, and now the northern part of Kalimdor is full of flames.
Once Jarod, who has blocked the main force of the Burning Legion at the border of Ashen Valley, retreats, the situation in other branch battlefields will inevitably be affected, and a massive defeat is foreseeable.
Jarod had already expected this. He placed the second line of defense at Timbermaw Fortress at the junction of Felwood, Moonglade and Winterspring, intending to use the help of Timbermaw furbolgs to continue delaying the Burning Legion's march to the sea. Garshan's progress.
However, this second line of defense can only slow down the attack speed of the Demon Army. The Legion Air Force led by Kazloga should directly climb the height from Ashen Valley to Mount Hyjal.
Fortunately, the Alliance's reinforcements have built defensive positions at the foot of Mount Hyjal, ready to face the impact of the Burning Legion at any time.
"What are the wild demigods planning? Why are the dragons so slow to come?"
On the way to Timbermaw Fortress, Jarod lowered his head and murmured in confusion: "Leave aside Goldrinn and Tortola, why is Cenarius, the forest demigod who has the best relationship with the night elves? Too late?"
"Could it be that there are other reasons behind the development of the situation that I don't know about?"
"Salayan, what are you planning?"
…
Sarlayan, who was being talked about by Jarod, had no time to care about the situation on the frontal battlefield at the moment. With Jarod, a talented commander, the multiple lines of defense deployed by the night elves were not so easily penetrated by the Burning Legion.
"Not here?!"
When they landed at the temporary base built by the new tribe in the valley north of Durotar, Sarlayan was shocked to learn bad news from Alleria, who had arrived first.
After instructing Grom to lead the Warsong clan to Ashenvale for logging, Guyin'er, who temporarily eliminated the hidden danger within the tribe, led the Chief's Guards alone to Stonetalon Mountain, apparently to meet Medivh's invitation.
"Hiss~" Sarlayan touched his chin with some toothache: "Why does it happen at this time... Now it's a bit troublesome."
Sarlayan turned to look at Vol'jin, who had just arrived from the Echo Islands to join Alleria: "Wo'jin, can the Darkspear trolls be dispatched immediately?"
Wojin nodded without hesitation: "Yes, the base has been basically completed and the soldiers can go out at any time."
"very good."
Sarlayan took out a badge of the Deep Shadow Family and handed it to Alleria: "Sister Alleria, I have something important that I can't leave here. Please make another trip."
"Take this token and go to Thunder Bluff, the tauren capital in the Mulgore Grasslands, and entrust the tauren chieftain Cairn Bloodhoof to lead the army as quickly as possible to meet us."
Alleria said categorically: "No problem, but with the strength of the Darkspear Trolls alone... are you sure you can control the situation?"
Sarlayan smiled bitterly and rubbed his brows: "It depends on man-made things. We can only take one step at a time."
"I'll first go meet with the advisors Intrigg and Saurfang who were left by Gu Yin'er to jointly act as the acting chief. I hope I can persuade them to send troops to help."
"after all……"
Sarlayan looked deeply at the Warsong Lumberyard in the northwest: "This is also the best time for the orcs to get rid of the curse of demon blood."
