In the original history, the victory of Azeroth's counterattack on Argus was very accidental, and even after the victory, many hidden dangers were left.
The first is the main fleet of the legion.
In order to successfully capture Azeroth, the then Legion leader Kil'jaeden summoned a large number of demon armies across the universe, including many space battleships.
At the beginning of the war, the well-prepared Burning Legion undoubtedly had the upper hand.
During the Battle of the Broken Shore, Azeroth suffered heavy losses with all its elite troops.
The second-generation Ashbringer Tirion Fordring, who had made many military exploits before, died on the battlefield, and the top leaders of the Alliance and the Horde also died here.
Even without the Banshee Queen's escape, the Azeroth coalition would not have been able to win that battle. At most, they could only withdraw from the battlefield in a dignified manner. There was an absolute strength gap between the two.
If Illidan, who was resurrected at the critical moment, had not proposed a desperate strategy of changing the family, it would be hard to say whether Azeroth could have persisted to the end in the face of the Burning Legion that was almost outnumbered.
It is precisely because most of the main forces of General Kil'jaeden's army have been summoned to Azeroth, the defense against Argus, the home base, has been significantly weakened.
With Kil'jaeden himself dead in battle, the demonic legions were leaderless and could only fight on their own.
Compared with the overwhelming momentum at the beginning of the war, the combat effectiveness of the demon army has obviously declined significantly.
It happened to be at this time that the Vedicar spacecraft, which the draenei had been secretly building for many years, was finally completed in time.
Illidan used the Sargrit Keystone to open the interstellar portal from Azeroth to Argus, which gave the desperate Azeroth coalition an opportunity to launch a cross-system beheading raid.
Although the main camera has been focused on the Vidical beheading force headed by Illidan and Velen since then, the coalition forces from various countries remaining in Azeroth are also not idle.
Before the victory of the beheading operation, both the Alliance and the Horde were still struggling to support themselves under the continuous attack of demons. This was still the Burning Legion fighting independently after losing their leader.
The beheading force was lucky enough to find Eonar hiding somewhere in the universe. Sargeras was also lucky enough to be away from his hometown. The empty defense of Argus gave Illidan and others an excellent opportunity to successfully implement the beheading plan.
With the help of so many coincidences, the Titans of the Pantheon, tortured for years by the Coven, are finally free.
With the help of the weakened Titans, the Decapitation Force struggled to defeat the Corrupted Aggramar and Argus the Destroyer, who were left behind by Sargeras to guard their home.
Even so, the seal of the Pantheon Titan came a little late.
Sargeras, who sneaked near Azeroth at some point, had a chance to stab Azeroth hard before he was sealed.
It was this hateful sword that caused a large amount of Azerite to erupt from the core of the planet, causing huge damage to the immature star soul. This decapitation operation can be said to have injured the enemy a thousand times and damaged itself eight hundred times.
It was impossible for Sharlayan to place all his hopes on illusory luck.
He couldn't guarantee that when Azeroth launched a counterattack, it would coincide with the empty defense of Argus. It happened that Sargeras sneaked away and was not at home, and he happened to find Eonar, who had been missing for many years, at the right time.
As the saying goes, be prepared for a rainy day. Since he has decided to make a desperate counterattack on Argus, Sarlayan must be mentally prepared to face the most severe situation and cannot take chances.
Therefore, Sarlayan needs to prepare in advance the trump card to break through the defense of the legion fleet head-on.
A killer weapon like Rukhmar's Breath would be somewhat restrictive when used inside the planet.
After all, Azeroth is the hometown where Thalayan relies on for a living, and being injured by his own weapons will always make him feel bad.
Thinking about it differently, what if the entire Breath of Rukhmar weapon system was moved to space for use as the main gun of a battleship?
This weapon system once destroyed the hope of the re-emergence of the arrogant primitive beast forces in Draenor with one shot. It goes without saying that it is powerful.
Because of the existence of mirror repeaters, as long as there are enough repeaters deployed, Rukhma's Breath can attack from extremely tricky angles to the weak side that the enemy cannot defend against.
Regarding this point, Sarlayan had specifically consulted Velen, who was well-informed.
According to him, the Burning Legion, which uses Argus technology, will not distribute the defensive shields evenly across the entire battleship, but will focus on strengthening the frontal defense. The farther back, the less likely it is to be attacked. parts, the defense will be weaker.
If Rukhmar's Breath is used as the main battleship's main gun, in theory, Azeroth's space battleship can completely avoid the enemy's most defensive front and directly hit the weakly defended rear through the refraction of the mirror converter.
In the most ideal situation, the Azeroth coalition does not even need to destroy all the legion battleships. As long as their power systems are destroyed, these space battleships will become giant coffins floating in space.
Of course, as Salayan said, the restoration of the mirror converter is just the beginning for the final completion of his idea, and there is still a long way to go in the future.
As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and the road must be walked step by step.
The research team of Rukhmar's Breath was the first to achieve results. Sarlayan said without hesitation on the spot that he would increase the allocation of resources to the team, which immediately attracted cheers from a large number of researchers present.
Under Sarlayan's secret operation, this news will soon reach the ears of the space battleship research team in Quel'Thalas, further catalyzing the healthy competition between the two.
With Mimiron as a consultant, the progress of the space battleship research team is not slow, but it is temporarily lacking a phased result to boost morale.
After leaving the research team responsible for repairing Rukhmar's Breath, the three of Sarlayan, accompanied by the Awakening Sage Rilac and the Shadow Sage Seth, flew all the way to the foot of the volcano in the Lost Islands.
After returning from Draenor, the crow demigod Anzu, who had returned to his original form, had been staying here, waiting at the nearest distance for Rukhmar to recover from his injury.
Rukhmar used a large amount of his own life source to create the arakkoa clan.
Rukhma itself does not have the power to create life, and this cross-domain operation against nature caused great harm to her.
Although after thousands of years of training in the Shadow Realm, Rukhma's soul overdraft has recovered a lot, it is still damaged to the source after all, and it is not that easy to completely recover.
After regaining her body from Draenor, Rukhmar discovered a puzzling problem - her body and soul were somehow mismatched.
Sarlayan guessed that Rukhma's soul had inevitably undergone some changes during the process of self-repair in the Shadow Realm, which led to the mismatch between her repaired soul and the original body.
Rukhma's retreat in the volcano was not only to repair his body, which was also severely damaged, but also to solve the problem of mismatch between body and soul.
According to Anzu, Rukhma's body has basically recovered to health after being nourished by the high-temperature magma in the Lost Islands volcano.
The reason why she failed to come out of seclusion was obviously that she had not yet perfectly solved the problem of compatibility between body and soul.
No one can help with this problem, and Rukhma himself can only spend his time trying to figure it out.
"There's no need to rush."
Sharlayan patted Anzu's shiny feathers and comforted him: "Azeroth is still relatively peaceful today. Small-scale conflicts between countries do not require the intervention of wilderness demigods like you and Rukhmar."
"Recharge your batteries. I brought you back mainly to deal with the threats of the Ancient Gods and the Burning Legion."
Anzu initially mastered the arcane power, and the shadow power was an unexpected product he obtained after devouring Setai's corpse.
As a master of arcane arts, Ansu's wisdom was always online as long as he was not tortured to the point of unconsciousness by the curse, and he immediately understood the implication of Sharlayan's words.
"In other words, maybe it won't be long before the ancient god forces and the Burning Legion will make a comeback?"
Sharlayan nodded solemnly: "Kil'jaeden is probably still busy gathering power at the moment and can't take his hands off to deal with Azeroth for the time being. The same cannot be said for N'Zoth."
"If there is no major deviation in my prediction, within a year at the latest, the ancient god forces headed by N'Zoth will launch an elemental tide sweeping across Azeroth to officially announce his return."
