"This is impossible." Jarod's first reaction was that Aaron was joking. Even Dragonflights failed. What can a group of mere mortals do? Even with those Wild God, they can't do it.
As the commander of the resistance army, Jarod knew very well that even with the support of Wild God and other reinforcements, the resistance army could barely compete with the Burning Legion. Not to mention the thousand-mile surprise attack on Zin-Azshari, it was not easy to break through the siege of the demon army.
"If we want to attack Zin-Azshari, we may not even be able to see Zin-Azshari's city wall." Jarod was afraid that Aaron's idea would arouse the approval of others, so he made the consequences clear in advance.
"That's what you think..." Aaron must admit that Jarod's idea makes sense, but his original intention is not the same. Jarod looks a little confused, Aaron explained his thoughts, "Although the movement of the army is inconvenient, we can select an elite team to raid Zin-Azshari. Our purpose is just to close the portal. As long as we are careful, this is not difficult to do."
Aaron's idea is not new. In Azeroth, where extraordinary power is extremely common, it is a very common battle method for large armies to fight and elite squads to raid the enemy's vital points. Although Aaron has always felt that this strategy has great consequences, like In the battle between Icecrown Citadel in "Original History", if Fordring hadn't broken out at the critical moment, the plan to behead Lich King would probably have been to send a team of elite Death Knight to Lich King.
But now that the frontal battlefield is hopeless, Aaron can only propose this plan. Anyway, in the history of history, Malfurion closed the portal like this, and also created a the Sundering by the way.
"If the team infiltrates, it is indeed not that conspicuous, but the risk is still very high." Jarod seriously thought about the pros and cons of Aaron's idea, shook his head, and raised a key question, "Also, even if you are lucky enough to succeed and can close the portal, how do you prevent those traitors from opening the portal again?"
Aaron was stunned. He knew that once the portal was closed, the big explosion caused by the portal would trigger the strongest geological disaster in Azeroth's history, but he couldn't say this. Could it be that he was setting up a prophet character for himself on the spot? That would be too unreliable.
On the contrary, Malfurion, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, "About this, I have an idea. We can use the power of the portal to destroy Ley Line near Well of Eternity, and at least it can make Ley Line disordered for a long time."
Aaron was stunned for a moment after hearing these words. Isn't Malfurion Druid? How come he knows so much about Ley Line? Is he possessed by his brother's soul?
Seemingly seeing through Aaron's doubts, Malfurion reached out and touched the newly grown antlers on his forehead, and explained, "These are Illidan's ideas. He mentioned this plan to me before, but I thought it was too risky at the time, but now it seems that this is the only way."
"Then where did Illidan go?" Aaron looked around after hearing this, but did not see Illidan.
Malfurion coughed, looked at Jarod with a slightly embarrassed look, and said, "Illidan said he wanted to go to Zin-Azshari by himself because I didn't agree with the plan, so I didn't stop him."
Because of the chaos on the battlefield, even Jarod didn't notice Illidan's departure. Moon Guard, leaderless, had been fighting on his own during this period without anyone commanding him.
"Since Illidan also thinks this plan is feasible, let's implement it." Jarod didn't care about the proposer of this idea. He was not the kind of person who would completely oppose the opponent's idea just because he and Illidan had competed for the position of rebel commander. After discovering that this plan was indeed feasible, Jarod directly began to let everyone discuss how to implement this plan.
According to everyone's deliberations, only Night Elf was chosen for this operation. It was not because they distrusted other races, but because a Tauren or Quilboar appeared too conspicuously in the capital of Zin-Azshari, the capital of Night Elf.
At the same time, because the purpose of this plan is to disrupt the operation of Ley Line, in order to ensure that no one will hinder the evacuation of the team after the plan is successful, all Arcanist have been excluded from the mission.
In addition to Aaron and his fellow time travelers and Malfurion and Druid, most of the others who were finally selected were priestesses from Sisterhood of Elune. There was no way to do this without using Arcane's power. These priestesses who believed in Moon Goddess and used divine magic were really advantageous.
In order to shorten the time on the road and avoid being caught up by the demon, this team will choose to use the teleportation gate to arrive near Zin-Azshari. At the same time, in order to avoid alerting the spellcasters in the city, the exit of the teleportation gate is opened in a Temple of the Moon outside Zin-Azshari.
After intensive preparations, it only took half a day for the portal to be opened by Arcanist from the resistance army, waiting for everyone to set off.
Aaron looked at the people who were going to follow him to Zin-Azshari, and there were many familiar faces among them, and said to Jarod who came to see him off, "The next step is up to you."
Jarod patted Aaron on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "What happens on our side is not important. The progress on your side is the key to determining the future of this planet. Do you really have confidence?"
"To be honest, I'm not very confident." Aaron was startled when Jarod saw his answer, and then said, "I want to say that I am confident about this action, but I'm afraid you may not believe it. I can only say that I will try my best."
However, the carefully selected soldiers behind Aaron had different opinions on this. These soldiers who had just left the battlefield expressed in their own way that they would rather die in battle than close the portal.
Seeing that the soldiers were in good spirits, Aaron shook his head, formally said goodbye to the group of people who came to see him off, and then motioned to Arcanist to open the portal. This team of less than a hundred people stepped into the portal and disappeared.
Jarod, who stayed where he was, was full of worries. Not only was he worried about whether the team could successfully close the portal, but also because his sister was also in the team. However, Jarod had never dared to express his worries to his sister before, mainly because Maiev's personality was too tough. Even though Jarod was now the supreme commander of the resistance, he still felt that he could not hold his head high in front of his sister.
"May Elune bless us."
After saying that, Jarod turned around and left. Even though he was worried, he still had his own responsibilities to perform.
