Because of Tyrande's poor governance skills, Sharlayan didn't think highly of her.
But I have to admit that in terms of personal strength, Tyrande is definitely at the pinnacle of mortals in Azeroth.
Even under certain circumstances, as a scroller, she can temporarily transcend the limits of mortals and use the power given by Elune to temporarily enter the realm of demigods.
This is also something that makes Sarlayan extremely puzzled.
Although Elune helped cheat to experience the power of demigods in advance, Tyrande has never been able to cross that threshold for ten thousand years.
Maybe the high priest, who was addicted to food, was distracted too much by political affairs, or maybe it was some objective reason that Sharlayan didn't understand.
As far as the conclusion is concerned, Tyrande is still stuck in the last step before becoming a demigod, unable to break through.
The purification ritual prepared by Medivh requires the cooperation of three different spellcasting professions. Guyin, who represents the shaman, remains on standby, and Talisa, who represents the arcanist, is also in place.
In fact, the last candidate does not have to be Tyrande. In theory, Maiev, who once served as the Moon God Priest, can also replace her role.
The same goes for Shandris.
However, Maiev was still at Timbermaw Fortress on the front line assisting Jarod in slowing down the advance of the Burning Legion, and Shandris was also leading the sentry troops in guerrilla raids in Felwood, and neither of them could spare time for the time being.
As for the other Moon God Priests, Sharlayan was worried that their abilities were not enough. Just in case, he could only ask Tyrande, who had a bad relationship with him, to beg for help.
Sharlayan looked down upon Tyrande, who was a show-off and was fond of playing, and the High Priest of Whisperwind was also not very fond of Sharlayan.
In her opinion, the reform suggestions that Sarlayan proposed to Malfurion were the main reason why the rights she had held tightly in her hands for ten thousand years were divided.
Sarlayan didn't bother to explain to her, since the two of them didn't have much daily contact anyway.
When it came time to have official dealings with the night elves, Sharlayan usually consulted directly with Malfurion.
After listening to Sharlayan's explanation of the causes and consequences of Medivh's purification ceremony, Tyrande, who was already in a bad mood due to Yin Lidan's incident, responded with little interest as expected.
"Orcs? Why should I help purify the blood of the beasts that have attacked the night elves?"
Sarlayan patiently and earnestly persuaded: "Your Majesty the High Priest, this is also for the sake of expelling the Burning Legion."
"Since drinking the blood of Mannoroth for the first time in Draenor, the orcs are still suffering the side effects of the demonic blood fading away. When they are close to Mannoroth, their will will be affected to varying degrees."
"The night elves are indeed very powerful, and their military strength is also very strong, but...as a racial leader, no one would want to waste the lives of their own soldiers when there are clearly cannon fodder as substitute victims, right?"
Tyrande's eyes flickered slightly: "You mean... to eliminate the hidden dangers of the orcs' bloodline, use this as a bargaining chip, and let them stand in front as cannon fodder in the final decisive battle?"
【shock! Tyrande actually understood? ! 】
[Hey~ After all, I have been in power for ten thousand years. Xiao Sa has already said this for his own sake. If you still can’t understand... then it’s not a question of governing ability, but a simple question of IQ. 】
Sarlayan ignored the barrage's complaints and still explained to Tyrande sternly: "Yes, the prophet's purification ritual cannot solve the orcs' blood curse once and for all. It can only temporarily suppress the mental side effects."
"If you want to solve the problem at its source, you must kill Mannoroth who is the source of the problem."
"Manolos is Archimonde's top general. If we can send him out early, when the final battle comes, we can bear less pressure and focus more on Archimonde himself. "
Sarlayan pointedly glanced at Malfurion, who had a thoughtful look on his face: "This is a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. I just need the high priest to spare some time to accompany me." , I think this effort is completely worth it.”
"Taking a step back, the night elves can also take this opportunity to take the initiative at the negotiation table, reach an agreement with the orcs on timber mining, and put aside the differences and conflicts within the Azeroth coalition in the face of the Burning Legion's attack."
Under Sarlayan's persuasive explanation, Malfurion, who had a longer-term vision, was already moved. However, as Tyrande's partner, Malfurion always respected her personal opinions and could not rashly speak out for her. Decide.
After lowering his head and thinking for a moment, Tyrande turned back to ask Malfurion's opinion on the matter as expected.
Seeing this scene, Sarlayan could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Malfurion is not a narrow-minded person like Tyrande. With him on the side to make peace, this matter will be a sure thing.
…
When Sharlayan hurried back to the Warsong Lumber Camp with Tyrande, who was still a little emotional, Tichondrius, who was lurking in Stratholme City under disguise, finally took action.
At this stage, it is very difficult for the Scourge to supply supplies, and they can only rely on smugglers who are desperate for money to purchase various materials needed to build ordnance and fortifications.
Tichondrius, who had replaced Scar Eyes, had been able to thrive among the smugglers with his outstanding abilities during this period.
Scar-Eye's smuggler power, which already had a good foundation, was increasingly valued by Kel'Thuzad and Baron Rivendell. They even placed orders with Scar-Eye three times in the past half month.
Under the overall management of Tichondrius, who is good at controlling people's hearts, these three smuggling orders were successfully completed without any danger, and "Scar-Eye" was finally formally received by Baron Rivendell in person.
On the other side, Yin Nasi and Tina Gosa, who had noticed something was wrong in advance, had been secretly staring at the "Scar Eye" who suddenly became all-rounded.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Yinasi did not immediately inform Kel'Thuzad about the possibility of Scar Eye being dropped.
After his team gradually entered the core layer of Stratholme City, Tichondrius finally couldn't help but prepare to take action.
When the next batch of goods is handed over in three days, it will be mixed with materials needed for Kel'Thuzad's experiment, and Kel'Thuzad will personally come out to inspect the goods.
This was the best opportunity for Tichondrius to get in touch with Kel'Thuzad privately, and Yinas and Tinagosa agreed that he would never let go of this opportunity.
When Kel'Thuzad urgently received a secret communication from Unicorn City, the always-steady Archlich was also startled by the information provided by Yin Nasi.
"The Fear Lord..."
If it hadn't been for the fact that he had lost his ability to perspire after becoming undead, Kel'Thuzad might have been frightened into a cold sweat.
Kel'Thuzad had long received news that the Burning Legion, led by Tichondrius, the leader of the Nasrezim clan, was fighting back and forth with the Scourge's remaining troops in Icecrown Glacier.
Mal'Ganis and others finally disappointed Tichondrius.
After Tichondrius left, several high-level Dreadlords came to the front line to assist in advancing the front line, and once gained a greater advantage on the battlefield.
But as Arthas, who held Frostmourne in hand, led his army back, the armies of both sides once again reached a stalemate on a vast glacier in front of Icecrown Citadel.
What made Tichondrius even more annoyed was that due to a moment of inadvertence, Mal'Ganis and Varimathras were both sent away by a sneak attack by Alsace, who had just arrived at the front line.
Although the two men's souls were not sucked into the magic sword by virtue of their familiarity with Frostmourne and escaped back to the Twisting Nether, the fact that the two men died almost at the same time was enough to make Tichondrius furious.
Thanks to the cooperative efforts of Arthas and the Nerub Lord Anub'rakhan, the Burning Legion, which had lost two generals, was even at risk of being repulsed.
This was one of the reasons why Tichondrius couldn't sit still. He was anxious to solve the problem on Kel'Thuzad and then rushed back to Northrend to stabilize the situation.
Based on Tichondrius's observations of Kel'Thuzad over this period of time, who is good at discerning people's hearts, he can basically confirm that the archlich Kel'Thuzad has no so-called absolute loyalty to the Lich King, and everything is done for personal gain.
This conclusion makes Tichondrius very satisfied, which means that as long as he gives enough chips to make Kel'Thuzad's heart beat, he will have a chance to instigate him to rebel against the Lich King.
As long as the Lich King's right-hand man, the Archlich, jumps back, no matter how Arthas jumps up and down on the front line, a backhand backstab from someone he absolutely trusts will put the under-prepared Ner'zhul into a desperate situation.
But...as the saying goes, the mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole stalks behind.
While Tichondrius was gearing up to use this meeting opportunity to convince Kel'Thuzad to switch jobs to Denathrius, Yinasi and Stellagosa also prepared a plan to close the net at the same time.
Yin Nasi, who secretly came to Stratholme City to meet with Kel'Thuzad, stood on the upper floor of the mage tower, staring coldly at the three-story hut that was the home of "Scar-Eye".
"Come on, let me see which 'old friend' you are. I have spent a lot of time preparing this surprise for Sarlayan. Don't let me down."
