"Huh...huh..."
Illidan walked through the forest, his breathing slightly heavy.
He had been targeted by Maiev and her huntresses, and had been hunted by them for days.
Things were a bit beyond Illidan's expectations. He had thought that the Burning Legion would cause enough trouble to the night elves that they would have no time to take care of their own situation.
However, it seems that except for the loss of part of the army and the destruction of the World Tree, the night elves did not seem to be too seriously harmed.
This is all because the alliance's support far exceeds Illidan's imagination.
With powerful allies and the fortifications they built in advance, the damage the Burning Legion brought to Mount Hyjal and the elven people was far from enough to shake the foundation of the night elves.
Although the destruction of the World Tree caused the elves to lose their immortality, this did not mean that their lives were taken away instantly. The night elves themselves had a long lifespan.
As far as he knew, the night elves had begun to leave the heavily polluted Felwood and Mount Hyjal, and began to migrate to the west of the continent, looking for a new home.
Maiev, on the other hand, chose another mission. She left the large army of the tribe and led the elite watchers on a long hunt for Illidan.
Fortunately, Illidan didn't encounter much trouble when he was crossing the heavily polluted Felwood in the past few days because of the dangerous jungle there and the cover of his aura.
But in the past two days, as Illidan left the area contaminated by evil energy, Maiev and her hunters began to track him down more quickly and accurately.
Illidan also fought against the Warden who were pursuing him, defeating several teams pursuing him at the cost of minor injuries.
Moreover, he deliberately only seriously injured the watchmen without killing them, just to let the wounded slow down their speed.
As for the injuries caused to Illidan by the Watcher team, with Illidan's current half-demon physique, he can recover completely in almost a day or two.
However, this kind of pursuit really made Illidan feel irritated. He still had very important things to do, and he couldn't let Maiev and her team consume too much energy.
Illidan realized one thing. As long as he stayed on the continent of Kalimdor, he would be endlessly hunted by Maiev and her subordinates.
Moreover, this situation will become even more severe after the night elves settle down and free up their hands.
This is something Illidan cannot accept. He has his own ideas and plans, and he cannot give up because of the obstruction of his own people.
Being locked up in a dark cell for 10,000 years was 10,000 times more difficult than dying directly. In addition, the sense of wastefulness of wasting time was what Illidan couldn't bear the most.
The arrival of the Burning Legion this time illustrates this point. The destruction of the Well of Eternity does not mean that everything is over. The Burning Legion seems to not only covet the power of the Well of Eternity, they have a more ambitious plan.
He was very sure about this, so Illidan believed that wasting his time in Azeroth was just an invitation to slaughter.
The Burning Legion knows almost everything about Azeroth, but they know very little about the Burning Legion, and much of the information is still at the level of 10,000 years ago.
Illidan, who has absorbed the Skull of Gul'dan, has learned many unknown things. Coupled with Maiev's endless pursuit, he has already made plans for the next step...
Go east! To Azshara, which was once the closest to the center of the Night Elf Empire, he needed allies to take him away from this continent. He must go to the continent opposite the Endless Sea to open the cursed door.
——Dark Door!
…
"Mistress, Illidan's methods are very direct, but they also bring us a lot of trouble." Huntress Nasa reported the recent battle situation to Maiev, "Our team was ambushed by him instead, and he injured He killed our people, but deliberately did not kill them."
The demon hunter caused very troublesome injuries to the watchers. Although they were not directly fatal, they would quickly deteriorate if they were left in the forest for a period of time.
Therefore, for every injured person, Maiev had to devote one or more people to protect and take care of them, and allow them to safely retreat to the territory of the night elves.
Maiev knew Illidan's character very well, and was not surprised by his methods. "Illidan's cunning did not surprise me, Nassa, but the fact that he would do this shows that he is eager to get rid of our control. Illidan must What's the plan?
Where has his latest sighting shown him? "
Nasa replied, "Scouts told us that Illidan is heading east and has entered Azshara's forest."
Azshara...the name of this land always brings back some bad memories for Maiev, but those are just memories now.
"The demon scum there has not been completely eradicated. Azshara is still a very dangerous place. Nasa, leave an elite force behind and let the others return with the wounded. I have a hunch that the hunt is about to end. .”
Maiev thought for a moment and then made a decision. Although she didn't know why Illidan went to Azshara, there was no way for Illidan to retreat.
Because to the west of Azshara is the endless sea, it is undoubtedly a foolish dream for Illidan, who has no ships and routes, to cross this vast ocean in thin air.
Even if he grew a pair of wings after becoming a demon, even with Illidan's physique, it would be just a delusion to fly across the endless sea.
The Watchers reacted quickly. Under Maiev's command, they quickly divided into two groups. One group brought the wounded back to the night elves' territory, while Maiev herself led another group of the most elite Watchers to start the final battle. Illidan launched a final pursuit.
Compared with Ashenvale and Felwood, Azshara's terrain is more complex, with ruins, ruins, forests and peaks criss-crossing it, and ferocious beasts and remaining demon camps can also put the lives of any passers-by at risk.
But for the Watcher troops led by Illidan and Maiev, crises that were difficult for ordinary people to handle could not slow down their pace. They chased and escaped, and launched a protracted pursuit in Azshara.
A few days later, the wounded and ordinary soldiers who returned to the elven realm passed the news to Archdruid Malfurion and Priestess Tyrande. After reading Maiev's report, both of them were hesitant to speak.
"Tylande... I think it might be better for us to go and see for ourselves. Although Illidan has indeed absorbed the power of demons, I still don't believe that he can do evil." Malfurion hesitated for a long time before finally coming up with the idea. A barely passable excuse.
But it seemed Tyrande had a similar idea, "I think so too, Malfurion, and if Illidan really becomes that dangerous, we can also help Lady Maiev."
