"I"
Although Ysera is Dragon King, she is merely a pawn of the Red Dragon Queen, responsible for initial contact with the envoy. She cannot represent the Dragonkin in refusing the Legion's cooperation.
Broxigar grinned maliciously. "Insignificant and foolish Ysera, you should thank me. At least you have an advantage over the other Dragon Kings; you were mentally prepared beforehand. With Nozdormu's help, we Orcs have been feeding on you Dragonkin for ten thousand years. You are nothing but pitiful food."
"Impossible, we have powerful Demon Souls." Ysera felt the envoy was deceiving him.
"Haha, only the treacherous Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza would make the decision to forge the Demon Soul. She's just deceiving you. This so-called artifact has done nothing but destroy the Well of Eternity and threaten and murder your Dragonkin."
Broxigar glanced disdainfully at Krasus and Rhonin: "A foolish Red Dragon, a lowly human, they come from the same era as me. You can ask them if what I'm saying is true."
Rhonin remained silent, glancing to the side, which was tantamount to acquiescing.
Krasus opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer, so he could only explain tactfully:
"Most of those eaten were Blue Dragonflight, nearly extinct. Other Dragonkin didn't suffer much loss. The Black Dragonflight raised the banner of resistance, but unfortunately..."
There was no need to continue. Ysera was pale, Broxigar grinned as he looked at Ysera.
"Dragonkin are nothing but food. You must pay the price for the Red Dragon Queen's ambition. Of course, the Red Dragon Queen is not stupid; she is just cold-blooded, betraying all Dragonkin for her own benefit. Guess who her trading partner is?"
After Broxigar's reminder, Green Dragon Ysera, understood the meaning, but she dared not utter the name.
Krasus also thought of an answer, but he couldn't give it either.
Only Rhonin, relying on N'Zoth's backing, spoke quite rudely, "Elune."
Broxigar clapped his hands and said, "What an honest child! I'm starting to like you, Ysera. But even if you know the truth, what can you do? You can only accept the tragic Destiny of Dragonkin."
Ysera stubbornly bit her lip, deep in thought. She had never understood Dragonkin the Red Dragon Queen, with Neltharion, the Black Dragon King, being the most powerful and Nozdormu, the Bronze Dragonflight Red Dragon Queen, the most mysterious, always held the reins of power.
Alexstrasza had close ties with the Titans, and was also allied with Elune. Neltharion and Nozdormu must have known this, which is why they had to give her some leeway.
Ysera cursed herself for her foolishness. She held the Emerald Dream and should have had a closer relationship with Elune, but she hadn't seized the opportunity. She should have known better than to oversleep.
"Thank you for your guidance, Orcs. I will explain everything to Alexstrasza." Ysera said coldly, "Go back and tell Archimonde that the cooperation between the Dragonkin and the Burning Legion has ended."
"How childish," Broxigar laughed smugly.
"I have witnessed the destruction of worlds, waded through mud and blood, and seen far too many foolish kings like the Red Dragon Queen. Sadly, none could be persuaded. They made mistakes they should not have made, leading to the destruction of entire worlds. Ysera, I hope you are the only exception. Farewell."
Broxigar turned and left, but as he looked back, he secretly gave Malfurion a wink.
"What a brilliant strategy of feigning indifference to lure the prey."
Malfurion, secretly impressed, immediately understood and quickly stepped in to smooth things over. He first grabbed Broxigar and turned to Ysera, saying:
"Your Majesty, please allow me to interject. My suggestion is to consult with the Red Dragon Queen before making a decision. The Red Dragon Queen cares deeply for the Azeroth Continent and would never do anything to harm the Dragonkin. I, Humans, can vouch for you; there must be a misunderstanding here, because a misunderstanding would lead to the failure of cooperation with the Burning Legion, and would only allow our enemies to win without a fight."
Ysera realized she shouldn't push things too far and needed to leave herself some room to maneuver, so she said, "Since Malfurion has pleaded for you, Your Excellency, please stay in the Emerald Dream for a few days."
With flawless teamwork, Broxigar understood the Red Dragon Queen's stubbornness and ambition. Once Ysera suffered setbacks, she would inevitably become disheartened, and at that time, no matter how harsh the conditions were, she would have to agree.
And so, the Orcs Broxigar and Malfurion lived comfortably in the Emerald Dream.
Ysera knew that she couldn't persuade the Red Dragon Queen on her own. The Black Dragon King Neltharion would have been the best helper, but they had a bad falling out a few days ago, and going to the Black Dragon King now would be going back on her word.
Nozdormu is a typical charlatan, and since he's on the same side as the Red Dragon Queen, he can't be relied upon. So he can only turn to Malygos, the Aspect of the Blue, who shares his plight.
After listening to Ysera's account of everything that had happened, Malygos, the Aspect of the Blue, grew increasingly grim. He roared, "Damn it! I knew Alexstrasza harbored evil intentions all along, but I never imagined she would betray us all to Elune. The Demon Soul? It was probably an order given to her by Elune."
"Malygos, we cannot stand idly by; we must act, for the sake of the Blue Dragonflight and Green Dragonflight," Ysera said urgently. "Let's go together to Alexstrasza; we must put pressure on her."
"No, let me think." Malygos pondered quietly for a long while. "Ysera, I feel this is not right. Alexstrasza is always autocratic and will never admit her mistakes to us. There is only one way now."
"What method?" Ysera asked hastily.
Malygos's eyes gleamed, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "If the Red Dragon Queen treats us this way, then don't blame us for disregarding the bonds of the Dragonkin. She's allied with Elune, so we'll cooperate with Moon Goddess enemies."
Ysera gasped. "You mean, Queen Azshara and her Highborne?"
"Yes, this is the only way to save both our races," Malygos made up his mind.
Without delay, the two Dragon Kings hurriedly headed to Azshara.
However, just as they stepped outside, a gigantic shadow appeared, Nozdormu, the Bronze Dragon Aspect, descended from the sky. This most mysterious Dragon King said with a hint of smugness, "Gentlemen, I have been waiting for you for quite some time."
"Is it the power of time?" Ysera asked uncertainly.
Nozdormu smiled mysteriously, "That's right, time has shown me everything. Your actions will endanger all of Azeroth, and I had to come to stop you. I saw a vision of the future; your resistance is futile."
Malygos cursed, "Don't be fooled by this charlatan dragon! He's only waiting here because someone tipped him off. Nozdormu, you can't stop us! You're not Neltharion; do you think you can defeat two Dragon Kings?"
Nozdormu remained silent for a long time before finally revealing a look of helplessness:
"I truly cannot convince you. To tell you the truth, the future is shrouded in mystery, and even I cannot see the truth clearly. I merely suggest that you come with me to a place before we go to see Queen Azshara."
"Where?" Ysera asked.
"A place where one can directly glimpse the mysteries of God."
