Moreover, for Quel'Thalas, small-scale personnel transfers could be handled freely through the portals in Sunlight City or Sunfury Spire. For large-scale troop deployments, the Aircraft Carrier Battle Group plan Patrick advocated had not been developed for nothing. An aircraft carrier formation could both fight across the seas and transport all the troops by sea between different parts of the continent, without being affected by the Plaguelands at all.
In a sense, the Plaguelands had a unique significance for Quel'Thalas: they both hemmed Quel'Thalas in and, in a roundabout way, protected it.

The Great Divide had already been destroyed, and Patrick also needed to rest for a while. Fandral Staghelm had long been impatient to charge into the Silithus Great Desert.
After a brief rest, the
