Legion Returns

Just when Sang La was supervising the work of the Magic Technical Committee and finishing Nodaka before the Winter Veil Festival, a telegram from the Eastern Continent forced him to put down the crystal in his hand.🌷♡  🍔👌

As the Second War of the Shifting Sands began, the Eastern Kingdoms was not idle either. Quel'Thalas, Amani, and Undercity in the north were joining forces to fight the the Scourge, while the Argent Dawn was helping to fight the the Scourge in the north and integrating and recruiting the Scarlet Crusade.

Under the leadership of the new Ashbringer Darion Mograine, Maxwell Tyrosus, and others, the Argent Dawn brought back Archpatriarch Tirion Fordring, who had been expelled from Lordaeron, to take charge of the situation. They also helped him rescue Taelan Fordring, who was imprisoned by the Scarlet Crusade, and eliminated the corrupt Scarlet Crusade leader, successfully ending the Scarlet Reign.

The Argent Dawn, having reorganized the Scarlet Crusade, originally planned to immediately launch a northern Horde alongside the Horde. However, on Tirion's advice, they decided to join forces with the Alliance in the south. During this process, however, news of unknown origin leaked to them that the Legion was preparing to attack the world again through the Dark Portal.

Yes, that's right. After five years, the Legion plans to make a comeback, starting from the Dark Portal built by the Old Horde in the southern Blasted Lands. This news, from an unknown source, left the Argent Dawn at a loss. However, the prudent Tirion chose to believe it rather than risk it, and sent scouts to the south to investigate. Sure enough, they discovered signs.

Upon discovering the demonic signs, the Argent Dawn immediately notified nearby Stormwind, as well as Amani, Quel'Thalas, and Undercity. The message then traveled through Amani to Orgrimmar.

When Zul'ra received the telegram in Orgrimmar, he was a little confused because the storyline he knew didn't seem to include this invasion. But now there was indeed this intelligence, and even if he didn't know if it was true or not, it was still something that made him wary. Once demons started to cause trouble, the consequences would be endless.

Immediately after Amani relayed the Argent Dawn's message, Thrall, who was in Blackrock Mountain, also sent a telegram inquiring about the situation. Faced with the Warchief was so unaware of the situation even nearby, Zul'ra was hardly able to answer anything. After briefly describing the situation, he immediately forwarded the message to Theramore and Darnassus, and then went to the Blackface Council of six to inquire.

The six members of the Blackface Council were completely baffled by the Legion's movements. Zul'ra was furious at the six bastards' innocent faces, but there was nothing she could do. She began to mobilize the Warlock to prepare to summon demons and use their blood to create demon iron.

Unlike the magical steel used by Dwarves to create magic boxes, so-called fel iron is steel stained with the blood of demonic Fel. This steel, after being forged through a little shadow alchemy, can become a weapon capable of killing demons, without needing enchantments or alchemical potions like other weapons to harm them.

The earliest invention of Fel Iron was by a Guardian before Aegwynn, but due to the existence of spatial barriers and the lack of widespread knowledge among Warlock, there weren't enough demon blood transfusions available in the world, so the recipe was shelved.

It wasn't until the Dark Portal opened and Warlock knowledge flowed into the world through the Orcs that the recipe was remembered and eventually given to Zul'ra by the Blackface Council.

While having the Warlock to transmigrate blood and create fel iron, Zul'ra held a meeting with Jaina. Darnassus was busy and couldn't get away, but Tyrande Whisperwind telegraphed that she would send someone to help, but they shouldn't count on the main force.

Zul'ra understood that Darnassus ' main force couldn't participate in the battle, but Jaina was a bit upset. With the Kaldorei not participating, the forces against the Legion were weakened, which was a worrying situation, especially given Stormwind's current state.

Oh, speaking of Stormwind, this kingdom that calls itself Azeroth has also suffered many misfortunes. Zul'ra's malicious speculation in Theramore happened to hit the nail on the head: their king went missing during the Second War of the Shifting Sands, but he was found again a few days later. However, the Varian who returned was different.

Originally, after the Second War of the Shifting Sands, Varian, persuaded by Jaina and with the Alliance and Horde fighting together, was prepared to establish diplomatic relations with Orgrimmar in an effort to resolve the conflict peacefully. However, after reappearing several days later, Varian flatly rejected the diplomatic relations he had agreed to in advance, leaving Lirath waiting in Theramore for several days in vain.

Upon his return, Varian not only reneged on his previous promise to establish diplomatic relations but also abandoned the political affairs he had just resumed. Now Bolvar had rushed back to help, hoping he could assist Varian. Thinking of this, Jaina couldn't help but sigh, then turned to Zul'ra and asked, "How many troops can the Horde send to the war?"

Zul'ra didn't dare answer Jaina's question directly, so he first sent a telegram to inquire with the Warchief of Blackrock Mountain. Thrall naturally replied that his eight thousand Warrior were ready to be deployed at any time.

Thrall has almost finished his work in Blackrock Mountain. He has successfully dealt with the remnants of the Old Horde and, with the help of the Water Elemental, banished the Firelord from the foot of Blackrock Mountain.

Thrall originally had a chance to establish diplomatic relations with Ironforge, because when he was in Blackrock Mountain, news spread that Ironforge's Dwarves princess had been kidnapped by the leader of the Dark Iron Dwarves. So he thought he would do them a favor, go over and kill the Dark Iron leader, and then rescue Ironforge's princess.

Thrall's idea was good, but what he never expected was that after he killed the Dark Iron leader, he discovered that the Dwarves princess had fallen in love with him and even had a child with him. She had also sworn that she would not let her "husband's killer" get away with it.

Not only Thrall, but even Zul'ra was a bit confused about this. What on earth was going on? She was clearly kidnapped, but how did she end up with the kidnapper and even have a child with him?

Although Thrall botched his diplomacy, he successfully drove the Black Dragonflight out of Dark Horde Blackrock Mountain with the help of the dragons, and wiped out the remnants of the Old Horde, including the Blackrock Orcs, the Firetree, and the Smolderthorn Tribe Trolls, who called themselves the Dark Horde.

After eliminating most of the officers in charge of more than ten people in the Dark Horde through a series of means, the Horde finally obtained more than 20,000 Orcs and more than 5,000 Forest Trolls as adult laborers.

Thrall sent the remaining prisoners to Jintha'Alor for Lojihan to deal with, while he himself, with the help of Dranosh and Aggra, led more than 8,000 Warrior of various races to garrison at Flame Crest, and also made contact with a group of free Dark Iron Dwarves called the Thorium Brotherhood.

Thrall originally planned to continue his campaign against the Dragonmaw Clan in the eastern highlands, but after receiving news that the Legion might return through the Dark Portal, he stopped and began to observe.
