Talador, a beautiful place in the Draenor continent, is located in the center of the continent's cross zone and is divided into two halves by rivers connecting the ocean. The natural rivers provide maritime trade and water transportation channels for east-west travel.
It is a place with great connections to the west, the Arak Peaks to the south, and roads to Gorgrond and Tanaan Jungle to the north.
Shattrath City is located in the north of Talador, backed by the Zangar Sea. A road called the Pilgrimage Road connects Shattrath to the Temple of Karabor in Shadowmoon Valley.
The draenei's sacred temple tomb, Oakington, is located to the south.
Understanding this, it is not difficult to understand why the draenei were beaten.
You are acting in front of the tribe.
Based on the orcs' descriptions, the Alliance intelligence officers imagined that the draenei were poor people who were pressed to the ground and rubbed by the orcs.
It’s really NA?VE. It’s the most ridiculous thing in the world.
If they don't have enough force, how can the draenei occupy northern Talador and occupy such a battleground for military strategists?
You must know that South Talador is divided by a large lake. Along the edge of the lake, there are arakkoa, tigermen, orcs, ogres and various giant monsters. There are no deadly things.
Only the Draenei firmly occupy northern Talador. Why?
Of course it’s because Big Velen is enough to hold it in his mouth!
Ah, some little Penyu has to say, Velen is such a dick, the draenei were even beaten into RBQ by the orcs, and they boast that they have to talk about the Basic Law.
Okay, okay, let's talk some sense into it.
The draenei were defeated unjustly.
Because of the personal friendship between Velen and Ner'zhul, and the fact that the orcs began to be evenly matched with the ogres after the rise of the shaman, the external environment of Shattrath was very good.
This gave the Delaneys, a group of interstellar refugees, a chance to recuperate and recuperate.
But friendship also succeeds or fails.
When Ner'zhul succumbed to Kil'jaeden, the shaman's testimony convinced all the orcs that the draenei were trying to enslave or even destroy the orcs.
The orcs had the first-mover advantage. When the Horde's preparations for war were completed, the draenei didn't even know that their former allies had turned against them.
Secondly, the Draenei forces are too scattered.
For the Draenei, there are three core territories.
Shattrath City in northern Talador, Auchindoun in the south of central Talador, and the Temple of Karabor at the Cape of Shadowmoon Valley.
Originally, the draenei's standing armed forces, the garrison officers, were stationed in Shattrath and Auchindoun all year round, maintaining order in the core ruling area.
Shadowmoon Valley is the base camp of the Shadowmoon clan under the leadership of Ner'zhul. Because of the traditional friendship between the draenei and the orcs, there are not many troops stationed at all.
However, Ner'zhul's betrayal was a calculated betrayal.
First, Ner'zhul warned Velen that the arakkoa were plotting against Shadowmoon Valley and that the draenei had better increase their defense force.
Velen readily accepted the warning from his old friend.
Shattrath Garrison-1.
Ner'zhul then incited other races to testify against Auchindoun.
Shattrath's garrison again loses -1.
In the end, Ner'zhul gathered all the orcs to start a war against the draenei. Relying on the power of the warlock, he blew up the entire Auchindoun, and half of the draenei's standing army was wiped out.
When the orcs surrounded Shattrath, Velen realized that something was seriously wrong.
However, even so, the orcs were not able to destroy the draenei.
Doesn't this illustrate the strength of the Draenei from the side?
How could a race that could be favored by Sargeras be an easy one?
Even on the sixth anniversary of Shattrath's defeat, the orcs still did not give up their campaign against the draenei.
But Velen, who had recovered from his dazed state, led the surviving draenei and once again established a foothold in Draenor.
I have to thank Gul'dan for this.
Because of Gul'dan's seizure of power, Ner'zhul directly released water in Shadowmoon Valley, which gave Velen a precious breathing space.
In the Temple of Karabor, Velen is listening to the revelation of the Holy Light, and the defender Maraad is patiently waiting for the prophet's call outside the prayer room.
"come in."
"Dear Prophet, I have important information to report to you."
"What news excites you so much?"
"The orcs are defeated."
"Um?!"
A surprised look appeared on Wei Lun's face.
"Which orc clan was defeated, and who was the opponent?"
"It's the entire orcs, their tribe. The orcs' attempt to conquer another world failed miserably."
A hateful smile appeared on Maraad's face.
Although the intelligence lagged behind the actual situation for nearly half a year, Maraad still felt that his soul, which was burned by anger and hatred, had received some comfort and nourishment.
"Is the information reliable?"
Velen asked worriedly. Since Gul'dan came to power, the orcs have become more and more skilled in using conspiracies. The prophet is worried that this is the prelude to a new orc conspiracy.
"Reliable. It's the news sent back by our compatriots. Those compatriots who kept their sufferings were transported to other worlds by the orcs as coolies and died miserably in heavy labor, but there are still a few strong warriors who survived. And among these people, Some have returned. Our garrison outside the ruins of Shattrath discovered these compatriots, so I immediately came to report to you, the Prophet."
Maraad tried his best to suppress his personal emotions when reporting. He did not want his emotions to affect the prophet's thinking.
"Be specific."
Seer Velen took a step forward and made a gesture of listening.
"It was the Alliance, and it was the Alliance that defeated the orcs. The orcs invaded their world, and several races united to form an alliance to deal with the orc tribes. The war lasted for almost four years. In the end, the alliance defeated the tribe, and the invading orcs returned to Germany alive. Llano’s ten are worthless.”
There was no trace of the pleasant mood hidden in Maraad's words.
"Those compatriots..."
Velen asked with a frown.
"They are too exhausted for long journeys."
"Um……"
Velen's eyes were a little dazed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Prophet, are we in contact with those alliances? According to those rescued compatriots, they now occupy the Dark Portal."
Maraad was full of anticipation and energy.
"No contact for the time being. We are not yet sure of the true intentions of the alliance you speak of."
After Velen thought for a moment, he rejected Maraad's proposal.
"However, they released our people, which is enough to show the friendship of the alliance!"
Maraad spoke his mind.
"Yes, it is a sign of kindness. But my children, the draenei cannot bear any more harm."
The prophet couldn't help but sigh.
"The one who can defeat the tiger will definitely not be a sheep. Why do you think the alliance defeated the orcs and went to Draenor for the purpose? Is it pure revenge? What do you think we draenei mean to the alliance now?"
Several questions from the prophet made Maraad think deeply.
"But you are right. The Alliance showed goodwill first, and we can't pretend we didn't see it. You go and ask Macy to come over."
After Maraad left, Velen took out the Eye of the Triumvirate.
"Naaru, lend your power to the believers of the Holy Light, the heroic spirits of the ruling group, clear the fog in front of you, and reveal the truth in front of me."
Because the news was too important, Prophet Velen took the risk and used an artifact from Argus.
After realizing that all the suffering of the draenei people came from his former brother Kil'jaeden, Velen used his power very carefully.
But with the arrival of the alliance, Velen's heart was not as peaceful as he showed.
Some risks are worth taking.
When Mercy rushed outside Velen's prayer room, she heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. The half-breed Draenei quickly opened the door and walked into the prayer room, only to see the prophet kneeling on the ground.
"prophet!"
Macy hurried forward to help Wei Lun.
"It's okay, I'm just a little tired."
Velen stood up reluctantly.
"I need you to go to the Dark Portal and give this to an ally of the Light. His name is Carlos."
Velen took out a revelation crystal and placed it in Macy's hand.
"Son, I'm sorry."
Velen's apology left Maisie scratching her head.
But soon, she understood why.
"This mission has to be successful, and fast, this is something larger than life."
There was unbearability and guilt in Velen's eyes.
Maisie was stunned for a moment, took the revelation crystal, and playfully made a scissor hand gesture.
"Who do you think I am? I promise to complete the mission!"
