"Akama is actually a minion of the Burning Legion."
The thoughts of important figures are completely different from those of ordinary people. Ordinary adventurers who collude with Legions are guilty of heinous crimes and deserve to be hanged a hundred times over.
But for powerful figures, serving the Burning Legion is a dream come true; morality has no hold on them, they only care about profit.
Khadgar gazed at the gloomy sky of Terokkar Forest, pondering Akama's next plan.
"Maiev Shadowsong."
Khadgar quickly came to the conclusion that after killing the Draenei "Atani," Akama would definitely devise a plan to capture Maiev.
Khadgar knew little about the details of this history; most of it came from hearsay.
But one thing is certain: before the final battle, Maiev was released by Akama and killed Illidan.
According to historical accounts, Maiev would have been ambushed and captured, and many Watchers would have died in battle.
To follow history, or to try to change the Destiny of the Watchers?
Khadgar didn't spend much time with Maiev, and Maiev's Pride made him very uncomfortable.
But compared to Akama's betrayal, Maiev's appalling attitude is nothing.
Khadgar had heard Anachronos say that history has a strong ability to be restored, and even if Khadgar interferes, it is difficult to change history.
But Khadgar couldn't swallow this insult, not to rescue Maiev, but simply to cause trouble for Akama.
With that in mind, Khadgar transformed back into the Draenei "Atani" and decided to meet with Maiev.
There is an Ogre colony in the north of Shattrath City, and it seems incredible that the Naaru live next to these filthy Ogres.
Many people think Ogre are cruel and incomprehensible, but Maiev doesn't think so.
Once a cooperation agreement is reached, Ogres are reasonable and can become good friends; the chances of them being betrayed are far lower than with Orcs.
Maiev, through the introduction of the Lower City Ogre Geluoke, successfully befriended the Ogre, and the Watchers took up residence in the Ogre's camp.
Akama met with Maiev alone in secret and sensed the Ogres ' hostility; those big guys were baring their teeth at him.
Inside the Ogre's stone house, Akama met a weary-looking Maiev.
"I haven't slept for days trying to eliminate the spies in Shattrath City. Akama, I have a feeling you've brought me good news."
Maiev forced a smile and tried to stay awake.
Akama sighed and said sadly, "Atani is dead."
"Dead? How could that be?" Maiev suddenly stood up, her eyes flashing with sharp light. "You betrayed him?"
Caught off guard by the revelation of the truth, Akama was initially startled, then nodded, and sobbed as she said:
"I had no choice but to do this to gain Illidan's trust. I'm sorry to him."
Maiev gave a cold laugh, "You really are a man of great things. It seems you brought no good news."
Akama looked tired and listless, feigning a deeply distressed expression.
"Atani's death was not in vain. Prince Kael'thas has been out of contact for a long time, Vashj's Zangarmarsh is in a lot of trouble. Illidan can only trust me; he has a grand plan."
"Go on," Maiev said, showing great interest.
Akama took out a small bottle, drank the mysterious liquid inside in one gulp, and his expression improved considerably.
"I led the Broken in casting spells day and night to create some kind of device for Illidan. Illidan initially hid it from me, but I eventually found out that Illidan was going to hold a grand ceremony in Gul'dan's Hands in Shadowmoon Valley."
Gul'dan's Hand is the largest active volcano in Shadowmoon Valley, containing powerful elemental energy. Maiev frowned slightly. "What is Illidan planning?"
"I suspect it's summoning a Portal," Akama said with a hint of bitterness. "Like the Dark Portal, it would lead directly to the Burning Legion's stronghold. The Burning Legion's army would pour into Shadowmoon Valley, and Shattrath City would fall soon. No one could stop Illidan from unifying Outland."
Maiev paced back and forth in the cramped stone house, looking troubled.
"A crucial summoning ritual must be heavily guarded. My Watchers are few in number; what can they possibly do?"
Akama cautiously stated, "This is a secret ritual. Illidan is worried about alerting the Army of the Light, so he will only send his elite mage force."
Maiev asked warily, "Are you sure? The Demon Hunters won't participate?"
Akama shook his head. "I've heard that the Burning Legion is not harmonious, and many people are against Illidan. Demon Hunters need to be wary of interference from the Legion. To be honest, the Black Temple has always been short-staffed."
"The strength of the mage force should not be underestimated." Maiev was clear. "But if they are interrupted at a crucial moment in the casting, they will suffer a terrible backlash."
"Illidan's strength is what we should be most worried about. Magtheridon is like a mouse before a cat when he sees him." Akama was very uneasy.
Maiev chuckled and said, "I have the shackles bestowed upon me by Elune; capturing Illidan will be a piece of cake."
Akama immediately looked up. "Excellent! We Broken are willing to assist, working together from within and without. As long as Illidan is captured, the Black Temple will crumble immediately."
Maiev exclaimed excitedly, "Ha! My long hunt is almost over! Illidan's Evil reign is about to end!"
Akama cried out, "Let us together overthrow the Black Temple and deliver our people from their suffering!"
After parting ways with Maiev, Akama entered the Lower City of Shattrath City.
After walking for several hours through a maze of narrow and intricate streets, making sure no one was following us, we finally entered a small wooden cabin.
The wooden house was simply furnished and inhabited by an Arakkoa couple.
The Arakkoa husband glanced at Akama, opened the stove, and Akama shoveled through the ashes and crawled inside.
Inside was a secret room containing a Legion communication device.
Akama activated the communication device with a password; a green light flashed, and Mannoroth's angry voice came through.
"Akama, we Demons Lords hate being disturbed while eating. If you don't bring good news, you can expect to be eaten by me."
From the other end of the communicator came the sound of bones being chewed, along with loud praise from Orcs.
While being cruelly eaten by Mannoroth, they loudly praised Mannoroth's greatness—this is the awareness of being food.
Akama said obsequiously, "Lord Mannoroth, I have good news. Illidan has taken the bait."
"Oh! That sounds good. Eitrigg, another fifty Tauren, and a hundred Orcs."
Mannoroth paused, then asked, "Akama, do you think we can capture Illidan this time?"
Akama said confidently, "Maiev is very cunning and has not revealed her true strength to me. Although Illidan has laid an ambush, both sides will definitely suffer heavy losses in the battle."
Mannoroth roared excitedly, "Then we'll send out a large army and wipe them all out!"
Akama beamed with joy, saying, "My lord, congratulations! You will become the new master of Outland!"
Mannoroth cursed, "Fool! Use your brain! Illidan isn't so easy to deal with. This time, we'll hold our ground and watch the Watchers fight Illidan to the death. I already have a complete plan. When the time comes, the Black Temple will surely crumble and be reduced to ashes."
Akama hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily. "Your Excellency is wise and mighty, I am far inferior to you."
