Since coming to Draenor and winning the first battle, the expeditionary force has taken control of the Dark Portal. Soon after, more soldiers and supplies followed, and the most popular among them was the one from Mai.

King Gurney Bronzebeard's little luxury - a few barrels of ale.

But all this did not last. On the originally agreed day, the second team of supplies did not arrive in time. The Union Army sent a small team of scouts to find out the reason. Soon after, they came back with bad news:

The war situation near the Dark Portal on the continent of Azeroth is very bad. All supplies must be provided through Watchfort, but the Horde has harassed many times and specifically attacked the Alliance's supply team. Alleria's soldiers guard the Dark Portal.

It seemed that they were stretched thin, and it was impossible to deliver the supplies on time. Therefore, the supplies that could keep Turalyon alive were only delivered in pieces, and the reinforcements originally promised to be sent were even less. Turalyon

It was once very optimistically predicted that they could launch an attack within a month. However, as the battle at the Dark Portal became more and more anxious, the soldiers were unable to cross the portal to Draenor. Until this time, Figure

Rayan couldn't help but began to wonder if his decision to expedition to Draenor seemed hasty. At least he should have solved the tribes around the Dark Portal before attacking Draenor, but he quickly rejected such an idea and strengthened his belief.

, he believes that the faster they act, the greater their chances of winning.

Although there were problems with logistical supplies, Turalyon still chose to act immediately. It took the expeditionary force two days to capture a fortress of the orcs on the west side. Although it was not in line with human aesthetics, the beauty of this huge castle

The city defense was very strong. Turalyon decided to use this place as a stronghold and immediately transformed it, preparing to build the Castle of Glory based on it.

At first, there was one thing that confused them. Shortly after they arrived and started building the Honor Keep, the orcs began to attack. This was not surprising, but what was surprising was that they had been

They continued to attack. They would attack every few days, but each time the number of people was not large, it was just a small fight. What is even more strange is that it seems that they are no longer interested in controlling the Dark Portal.

"They are not stupid. Why do they keep attacking us rashly? Their numbers are so small that they can't capture the Watch Keep. It seems that they are not doing it for the Dark Portal."

"One more thing is strange." Khadgar thought deeply. "Ner'zhul already has the artifacts he needs, but he has been silent. I guess he needs something else." Khadgar leaned against him.

Sitting on that rough wooden seat, I was thinking intently.

"Does this process require a lot of energy and some very complex spells to be cast?" Danas asked. "Maybe he has spent this time on these details."

"Energy problems can be solved with the Eye of Dalaran, and complex spells can also be prepared in advance." Khadgar shook his head and asked again: "With the artifacts he got, he can start

The spell has been cast," he thought. "What else could it be? What could he be waiting for?"

The archmage's question also brought others into deep thought.

Khadgar's head ached a little when he thought about it. He enjoyed looking at the night sky of Draenor, because the sky here was only red during the day. In addition, there was another reason: under the influence of Medivh, he was very

I like studying astronomy.

Finally, after several days of deep thinking, he got the answer. The stars told him.

"Scepter, book, and eyes!" He rushed out of his room and shouted towards Kurdran: "I know what he is waiting for!"

Kurdran was taken aback by him, "Are you crazy?"

"On the contrary, I'm awake. Go find someone else and I'll explain everything."

After a while, several commanders gathered together. "Everyone, I know what Ner'zhul is waiting for!" Khadgar went straight to the point, "I have been disturbed by the new environment here. I think Draenor and Al

Xerath is completely different, but I was wrong. One thing is exactly the same between the two worlds, and that is that they exist in the same universe, so the constellations and stars in the sky are the same!"

"Constellations, stars?" Turalyon looked at him in confusion, not understanding what Khadgar was going to say.

"Look what they look like." The Archmage pointed to an area in the sky.

Everyone focused their gazes and watched for a long time. Turalyon finally concluded: "One of them looks like a square, and the other is long and thin. Other than that, I can't see any obvious shape."

"You are right." Khadgar opened a book and showed it to everyone. "Look at these, the names of various constellations," he pointed to some content on the book. "The seat of the staff... the seat of the scroll.

And…the Seat of the Prophet.”

Turalyon seemed to understand: "The Scepter of Sargeras, the Book of Medivh and the Eye of Dalaran." He said slowly, raised his head, and looked at Khadgar with longing eyes. "So.

Tell me...the artifacts in Ner'zhul's hand correspond to these constellations?"

"Yes." Khadgar said, his tone unable to hide the joy in his heart. "He is waiting for an opportunity. When the three constellations are formed at the same time, Ner'zhul's power will be strengthened. Then he will

The launching ceremony will begin."

Everyone was shocked after hearing his explanation. Kurdran opened his eyes wide and was stunned for a minute before applauding.

"When?" Turalyon only said these four words.

"There are ten days left, and those energies will last for three days!"

Hellfire Citadel

"It's done!" Ner'zhul sat back on his throne, closed his eyes and rested for a moment, then opened his eyes and looked at the scroll spread out in front of him. For so long, Ner'zhul has been concentrating on studying and preparing what he has

The spells needed. And now, everything is finally over! Now he only needs to wait for the star alignment to form, and then he can open the door to other worlds, and his people can once again have one, or even many new

A world as vibrant as their own. And all of this will be attributed to him.

"Very good," Kilrogg Deadeye, the chief of the Bloodring Clan standing aside, whispered. "In a few days, the mysterious star will appear, and only those humans will be left on this dying planet!"

Ner'zhul looked thoughtfully at the one-eyed old warrior. Kilrogg had always been deeply impressed in his mind, whether it was because of his keen mind and excellent strategic vision, or because of his combat prowess.

When the injured Bleeding Circle Warlord returned from the Dark Portal, Ner'zhul realized that sending him to the battlefield was a waste of resources. Moreover, there were not many Bleeding Circle warriors left. In the past six months, Bleeding Circle

The orcs were avoiding humans and their allies. For this, this once-large clan also paid a heavy price. In the end, Ner'zhul chose to let Kilrogg stay by his side, and even let him serve as his personal bodyguard.

The position of bodyguard. Of course, his own Shadowmoon clan has a large number of people and is more suitable to be sent to fight against the Alliance.

"But first, we need to make sure nothing goes wrong." Ner'zhul pointed to the fortress beside the two of them and said to Kilrogg. "The spell may fail, and I can't take the risk. Although the sky has given us assistance,

We must increase the probability of success. I need to use as much energy as possible in the ley lines so that Draenor can enhance the effectiveness of the spell." He sighed. "For this kind of mission, there is only one place.

The most suitable one is the Temple of Karabor." Ner'zhul did not call the current name of the place he mentioned, but Kilrogg did.

"Dark Temple!"

Ner'zhul nodded, trying his best to avoid this. He still remembered the war with the draenei many years ago. For it, Ner'zhul has always carried a deep sense of guilt. But now, they need

Returning to that place again made him even more frightened. But Kilrogg and other members of the tribe did not feel this way. For them, it was still a great victory, and the Black Temple was their

The spoils of war. If Ner'zhul wants to lead the Horde correctly, he must believe this. "If I am there to perform the ritual, I can ensure the successful implementation of the plan."

"I will make arrangements to leave immediately," Kilrogg said.

"Leave? Where are we going?" Kargath Bladefist's thunderous voice came over. He groaned. Ner'zhul appointed him as the commander-in-chief of the Alliance against the Alliance, but Kargath did not want to defend all the time.

He advocated the attack and insisted on going into battle himself. But every time, the alliance's archers continued to shoot arrows of death from the sky, and then Kargas's warriors continued to fall and ordered to retreat. But at least this can keep the alliance troops exhausted.

.

"I must go to the Dark Temple so that when the time comes, I can cast spells there to open the door to the new world." Ner'zhul put away the scroll beside him and placed it safely in the small bag hanging on his belt.

.

"I'll gather the soldiers," Kargath replied, turning around to leave, but Ner'zhul motioned for him to stop.

"No, now is not the time. Go and call the Blood Demon. I want to talk to you and give you your respective tasks."

Kargath hesitated for a moment, then finally raised his weapon in salute to Ner'zhul and turned to leave.

"We still need to notify Hellscream!" Kilrogg said.

"No."

Kilrogg had doubts on his face and looked at Ner'zhul in confusion. "They are still in Azeroth. We need to let the Warsong Clan know about this."

"No, not anymore! Grom Hellscream is no longer important. He is not part of the whole plan."

Kilrogg stared at the old shaman uneasily, but he would not question Ner'zhul's judgment. He just wanted to know when Ner'zhul chose to give up Hellscream and his clan.

The Blood Ring Chief lowered his head slightly, "I understand, Chief."

"Gather your warriors." After confirming that Kargath was far away, Ner'zhul said to Kilrogg, "Get them ready. We will set off in a short time."

Kilrogg nodded and left the room. Ner'zhul began to pace in the room alone. He was very angry. Those explosives were not as effective as the Blood Demon promised. The Dark Portal was still open.

This is enough to show that the portal on the other side is still functioning. Ner'zhul is glad that Grom did not return to Draenor, otherwise he would definitely chop off his head with Gorehowl.

Thinking of this, the shaman suddenly felt much more relaxed. Hellscream has always been difficult to control, but he has completed his mission and is no longer necessary.

Soon after, Kilrogg returned, telling Ner'zhul with a simple nod that his warriors would be ready soon. The Gorefiend arrived within minutes, Kargath at his heels.

"Very well," Ner'zhul began to say to Gorefiend after all his lieutenants had arrived. "I have completed the spell." He laughed.

"So you are going to the Dark Temple next?" Gorefiend asked.

When he saw the surprised expression on Ner'zhul's face, his mouth broke into laughter. He had expected this. Bloodfiend was one of the most promising young shamans Ner'zhul had ever seen.

, whether due to his strength or keen insight. Since returning as a death knight, his power and cunning are even better than before.

"Yes, that would be an ideal place to cast spells." Ner'zhul reluctantly admitted, and he was not satisfied with the blood demon guessing his inner thoughts.

"I will gather all the tribe soldiers before dusk." Kargas reported. "We will leave some of them to defend here, and the rest will escort you to the Black Temple."

The Blood Demon shook his head, "Our trick won't fool the Alliance for long. Maybe it has been discovered by now. When they realize that our attack is just to delay time, they will probably launch an attack with all their strength right away."

Ner'zhul nodded. He and the Blood Demon basically had the same idea. "The Shattered Hand clan needs to stay here," he instructed Kargath: "You must contain the Alliance forces, and we will go to the Black Temple." Ner'zhul.

Aozu frowned and continued: "I will leave the black dragons here to help you fight. If you survive, meet us there."

Kargath's face turned slightly pale, and then he stared at Ner'zhul with cold eyes. "The plains in front of Hellfire Citadel will be filled with dead bodies of the Alliance!" he promised, holding up his weapon-studded hand, then turned around and left.

room. After he left, everyone immediately heard his voice giving orders. Kilrogg found it difficult to understand that Kargath did not refute Ner'zhul's unreasonable arrangement. This was clearly asking the Shattered Hand clan to die. Any

Everyone knows how unlikely Ner'zhul's "what if" is.

"There is no way the Shattered Hand clan can win." After a moment, the Blood Demon said.

"No need to win," Ner'zhul answered. "What is needed is for the Alliance to be held back until I can complete the ritual." He looked at the ground beneath his feet. "This castle is strong, and his shattered hands

The orcs are also crazy. They will fight bravely, and I believe Kargath can complete the mission."

Ner'zhul obviously wanted to keep the blood demon with him. He wanted to tell the blood demon that his ability could deal with human mages. But the cunning death knight saw through him at once, and said something that Ner'zhul could not

Reason for rejection.

""I know space rifts and portals very well." The death knight said. "You will need me. With my help, you will open the portal faster."

"Yes." Ner'zhul agreed with a frown, and announced: "Gather the men, we will leave immediately."

An hour later, Ner'zhul had mounted a war wolf and left Hellfire Citadel. Surrounding him were Kilrogg and his warriors. Gorefiend and his death knights were exploring the way ahead. Behind them

, Kargath Bladefist and his orc warriors were shouting from the high walls of the castle.
