When Aaron made this proposal, Velen's expression looked a little tangled, which made him think that the other party was worried that he had evil intentions.
Although Velen is called a prophet, he cannot see a clear future. The scenes he can predict are fragmentary fragments. The most typical example is that Velen saw the death scene of his son in the prophecy, but he did not know the meaning of that scene until his son actually died in front of him.
For this reason, Velen cannot make decisions through prophecy in most cases. What he relies on to lead his people to survive is his wisdom and experience.
When it comes to portals, Velen happens to have some experience, which is how Dark Portal opened it.
This door that brought heavy suffering to the two worlds was opened by burning the souls of countless Draenei, Arakkoa, Sporelings, and other Draenor various intelligent creatures. After it was opened, a large area of the two planets gradually became a restricted area for life.
Although Velen was not very clear about the situation at Azeroth, Hellfire Peninsula was right under his nose, and he was very aware of the tragic situation. When he heard that Aaron was planning to open the portal connecting the two worlds, his first reaction was. "Would it be too costly?"
Upon hearing what Velen meant, Aaron was stunned for a moment, realizing that the other party had misunderstood, and explained, "Actually, we have a better way to open the portal, but the problem is that I am not the one who can open the door."
Aaron briefly introduced what happened to Illidan, and finally concluded. "My friend is now focused on occupying Outland, and then launching a counterattack against the Burning Legion. I think it will not be easy if I want him to help open a door."
Based on Aaron's understanding of Illidan, it would not be difficult to just open a portal that is large enough for a small number of people in the same group. Aaron only needs to tell him, and Illidan can easily open it, but the portal required to transfer Draenei is definitely not that simple.
Although Draenei has gone through countless hardships and the population has dropped sharply, there are still tens of thousands of people. Taking into account their various belongings, Aaron estimates that it will consume a lot of time and energy, so Illidan may not be willing to agree.
This does not include the several spaceships docked at Netherstorm. If a portal large enough to accommodate the spaceships was opened, Aaron felt that Illidan would not agree to it no matter what.
But just asking him to help transfer Draenei may not be difficult, but what needs to be considered is not only the problem of Illidan, but also where Draenei will go to Azeroth. Regardless of whether it is Kalimdor, Eastern Kingdoms or Northrend, the land that is enough for Draenei to survive will certainly not be too small, and where can we find such land? Covenant City certainly cannot.
Aaron believes that these problems can definitely be solved, but it certainly won't be solved in a short time. He just mentioned it to Velen a little bit to pave the way for inviting Draenei to move in the future.
The main purpose of his coming here to find Draenei is actually to tell these guys who have become like frightened birds that Illidan and his army have no ill intentions towards them. There is no need for those sentries who have been monitoring the whole process since the army entered Zangarmarsh to follow them all the time.
"If you are worried about us, you can actually send someone to follow us directly. If you send someone to follow us secretly, it will make my friend unhappy." Aaron's words were not groundless. In fact, after discovering that his team was followed by many followers, Illidan wanted to order Naga to clean up these tails. Fortunately, Aaron stopped him.
I don't know if there is something wrong with his brain after being imprisoned for ten thousand years. Illidan is mostly indifferent to things other than Tyrande and Burning Legion. But if these things hinder him, Illidan will only have one attitude: crush them.
Hellfire Citadel was conquered based on this guiding ideology. Illidan felt that this fortress was in the way, so he captured it directly. It didn't matter whether he could make Fel Orcs his subordinate.
Aaron is worried that Illidan will suddenly look unhappy with Draenei. If Aaron can't stop it then, it will be a bit troublesome. That's why Aaron made this suggestion to Velen.
Velen agreed to Aaron's request. Draenei was just wary of the passing army. In fact, Aaron did not Come on, Velen is also considering giving up tracking. What Draenei needs most now is to be cautious. As long as they are sure that those strange-looking troops are not coming for them, there is no need to pay too much attention.
But Velen's next words surprised Aaron: "Let me go with you. Holy Light tells me that the friend you mentioned is worth meeting."
"You... are going to meet Illidan?" Aaron didn't follow Velen's thoughts, but after hearing the second half of the other party's sentence, Aaron thought of Illidan's other identity: Child of Light and Shadow in the prophecy, although Illidan himself didn't know such a thing.
"It's okay for you to go, but you're not worried about the danger?" Although Aaron was surprised, he had no objection to Velen's decision. He just asked tentatively, mainly because he felt that as the leader of a race, Velen's decision was actually a bit risky.
"It doesn't matter, Holy Light didn't warn me, and I felt kindness and something very special from you." Velen smiled kindly, looking at Aaron like he was looking at a child. Of course, this old man who has lived for more than 20,000 years is qualified to look at most creatures in this universe with such eyes.
"Okay, in that case, I'll take you there." Aaron stood up. He didn't want to stay in Telredor for longer. This damn place, like other places in Zangarmarsh, was filled with the smell of decay. It was definitely not a place suitable for living for a long time.
Illidan and the others were operating at a much slower pace because they were operating as a large army. As for Aaron and the others, Velen only brought a team of guards, and the total number was less than thirty people. This was because Draenei was really worried, so Velen brought them along. Originally, the prophet had planned to go with Aaron and the others alone.
When Aaron and the others saw the rear of the large army, they had not yet walked out of Zangarmarsh. Seeing Aaron following them, Illidan was obviously relieved and shouted to Aaron, "You came just in time. Tell these guys quickly, I don't mean any harm, don't be so careful about me."
"What?" Aaron didn't know what Illidan was talking about until he saw the soldiers of the expeditionary force guarded by several Naga barbarians, and four words were clearly written on the faces of these soldiers: I would rather die than surrender.
