The Elements' Influence
Upon hearing the roar, Zul'ra and Moon's expressions changed slightly, because the voice belonged to Orcs. They wondered if those guys were up to something.
The thought of those hot-tempered Orcs gave Zul'ra and Moon a headache, and they quickly turned and left the Emerald Temple where Eridan was. Eridan, seeing the situation, followed them out. The three of them saw an Orcs standing on a high place in the open space of the Emerald Sanctuary Valley, surrounded by Elves, Tauren, Trolls, and Orcs, his whole body radiating anger. ♧⛵ 🎅👹
"Unforgivable! I have heard from the elements! This is utterly despicable and shameful! Those scum of the Burning Legion, they have desecrated this land! We must cleanse this pollution! In the name of our ancestors and the elements, we will reclaim this place! Lok'tar ogar!" In response to the Orcs's roar, his people let out a long howl, while some Tauren and Trolls also let out long howls, their voices equally filled with rage.
"What's wrong with them?" Eridan was a little confused. When did Orcs become environmentalists and express such anger over the pollution of Felwood? Even the Druid weren't angry!
"It was the elements that affected him." Moon's cow-like face looked a little awkward, while Zul'ra raised her eyebrows but didn't say anything.
"Elemental influence?" Eridan asked curiously.
"Just as you draw upon the power of nature, we Shaman also draw upon the elemental forces of the outside world. They were probably infected by the elements during their meditation and communication just now," Zul'ra explained to Eridan in a concise and clear manner, a situation he had experienced before.
"So that's how it is!" Eridan exclaimed in sudden realization.
"We have to stop them, or who knows what they'll do!" Moon said to Zul'ra, looking at Koransa who was still shouting and inciting the crowd, even mobilizing some Druid like the Kaldorei. Shaman are not as peaceful as Druid; who knows what might happen if this continues.
"Leave it to me!" Zul'ra looked at the worried Moon, strode to the front of the crowd, looked at the Tauren, Trolls, Orcs and Kaldorei in front of him, who were of varying heights, and looked at the Orcs Koransa standing high in the center of the crowd. He raised his right hand and struck the air. Koransa was hit as if by an invisible hammer and flew out of the crowd and fell to the ground.
"Have you all seen enough?" Zul'ra sent Koransa flying with a palm strike from a distance, drawing everyone's attention away from their stunned silence. Not only the Shaman and Druid watching, but even Moon and Eridan nearby were surprised that he had actually knocked Koransa away with such an unbelievable technique.
"If you've seen enough, then go back! If you have a way to purify Felwood, say it now. Don't cause trouble for me here, you hear me?" Zul'ra looked at the stunned crowd, her voice rising three octaves towards the end.
Faced with Zul'ra's words, the many Shaman watching all shrank back, and the Kaldorei Druid also felt the Trolls's majesty, even trying to keep their breathing low. On the other side, Koransa, who had been beaten, got up from the ground and his mind became much clearer, so he dared not say another word.
"Alright, let's go discuss it!" Zul'ra looked at the silent crowd, turned around and went back to Moon and Eridan, beckoning them to go to the other side to discuss it.
"You actually hit someone?" After following Zul'ra to the side, Eridan's eyes gleamed slightly, his tone filled with surprise. Moon also scratched his head. The gentle Tauren was not used to such violence, but he was shocked by the methods Zul'ra used. At that moment, he felt that the atmospheric elements completely obeyed Zul'ra's commands.
"Isn't this normal? Those guys are blinded by their own rage. Just let them calm down. Let's talk about purifying Felwood first!" Zul'ra said irritably. Being blinded by the elemental infection and becoming arrogant and belligerent is perfectly normal. They just need to calm down.
"Alright!" Seeing that Zul'ra Eridan n't seem too surprised, Iridan didn't want to appear too old-fashioned. He began discussing with the Trolls and the Tauren how to solve the pollution problem in Felwood.
When Zul'ra passed through Felwood last time, she had already spoken with Eridan. The forest was severely polluted, but there was one advantage: they could simply use brute force to control and resolve the problem, burning down the polluted forest and its inhabitants, and then replanting the forest.
Perhaps it was precisely because a brutal solution was needed that Tyrande Whisperwind turned to the Horde, as the Druid ' peaceful approach was not well-suited to resolving this matter, and the Kaldorei's power would also find it extremely troublesome to clear out the creatures here.
Once the objective was clear, things became incredibly simple. Zul'ra immediately devised a plan: first, gather all available resources; second, make a list of the areas that needed to be cleared; and finally, proceed with the cleanup according to the list—simple and ruthless.
Faced with Zul'ra's decision, Eridan acted swiftly, ordering the Druid to gather information. The first priority in Felwood was to eliminate the corrupted and chaotic creatures and demons, such as Furbolgs, Satyrs, ancient trees, and Undead.
Throughout Felwood, Eridan created a ranking list based on the evil nature of the creatures, with Jaedenar at the top, the former den of Druid that was later occupied by the Shadow Council during the Third War.
The Shadow Council was an organization founded by the orc warlock Gul'dan. They were once dedicated to spreading dark magic among the orcs. After the Horde's defeat in the Second War, they went into hiding. When the Scourge was rampant in the Third War and the Burning Legion invaded, they attached themselves to the Legion and absorbed undead and mortals to grow stronger.
The now-powerful Shadow Council participated in the attack on Mount Hyjal and raided the Druid ' lair, renaming it Jaedenar in respect of Kil'jaeden, the leader of the Burning Legion.
Besides Jaedenar, the Shadow Council also built a castle near that mountain range, where Undead, Warlock, and Satyrs gathered. That area was the heart of the corrupted creatures of Felwood.
Besides Jaedenar and Shadow Hold, Felwood also has the Irontree Woods where ancient trees gather, the Jadefire Run where Satyrs gather, the village of Fallen Deadwood Furbolgs and Talonbranch Furbolgs, and so on.
Although monsters and demons roam freely, there are still some friendly forces within Felwood, such as the Emerald Council established by Eridan. The Druid of this council are working to solve the pollution of the forest, and they have made contact with the uncorrupted Timbermaw Furbolgs, Hippogryph, and so on.
On the other side, Tyrande Whisperwind sent the Priest Elune over. In Moonglade, northwest of Mount Hyjal, the descendants of Cenarius, Mountain Giant, Faerie Dragon, and Hippogryph are all allies that can be won over. Zul'ra asked Eridan to find someone to make contact. Felwood is very large, and to solve the pollution problem, everyone needs to work together to make a big splash.
