Seeing the drastic changes in the expressions of Krasus and the other two after they heard the name Osiris, Ravencrest immediately became alert and asked solemnly, “What’s going on? Is there something wrong with this name?”

Of course, it wasn’t right. Krasus never expected to hear the name of the King of Despair at this time.

But just as Krasus was about to explain to everyone about this commander of the Burning Legion, he suddenly thought of something and quickly shut his mouth.

To be honest, although the three of them had traveled through time and space to the current era of the War of the Ancients, both Broxigar and Rhonin were a little confused. Broxigar had only come out to investigate under Thrall’s orders, but he had inexplicably come to this spacetime. He was an orc from Draenor, so he had no understanding of the historical events that happened on Azeroth ten thousand years ago.

It was the same for Rhonin. He had come to this spacetime unprepared. He had just married Vereesa, the third sister of the Windrunner family, not long ago and became a winner in life. But before his newlywed life could begin, his mentor, Krasus, had called him out. Before he could figure out what his mentor wanted to do, he and the dragon had traveled through spacetime.

Although he was an archmage of the Council of Six of Dalaran and could be considered knowledgeable, the War of the Ancients had happened too long ago for human history. Most of the records existing in history books came from the accounts of the night elves, so there were only generalizations and not many details. Although he knew about the War of the Ancients, he didn’t have much concept of the specific situations during the War of the Ancients. All his actions were based on his own understanding and logic.

The only one among the three who knew was Krasus. He was the only one who knew what he wanted to do when he came to the War of the Ancients. The infinite dragonflight was attempting to disrupt history, while the bronze dragonflight was attempting to correct history! Although Krasus didn’t know why this mission landed on him, this was the joint decision of his queen, Alexstrasza, and Nozdormu. He could only obey. But strangely, after traveling through spacetime, he found that he had forgotten a lot of history about the War of the Ancients!

Furthermore, he had also lost a lot of magic power and became much older and weaker…

Therefore, in conclusion, even though the three chosen ones came from the future, they actually didn’t have much memory of the specific events that happened during the War of the Ancients. This might be because Nozdormu wanted them to act instinctively rather than based on historical knowledge of the future. The advantage of doing this was that it could minimize the impact on history to the greatest extent.

They didn’t have many memories and cognition of the War of the Ancients, but they had clear memories of the name Osiris. During the Battle of Mount Hyjal, when humans, orcs, and night elves had formed an alliance to resist the Burning Legion, Broxigar and Rhonin had been among them. They would never forget the scene of King of Despair Osiris suddenly pouring ice-cold water on the alliance army while they were rejoicing after defeating Archimonde! The experience of being beaten into the abyss of despair when hope was rising was too painful…

It was the same for Krasus. But his fear of Demon King Osiris stemmed from the destruction of the blue dragonflight. Malygos and Sindragosa becoming dragon liches was an incomparably huge blow to the dragons, and the culprit behind all of this was the demon with the title of the King of Despair…

This was why the three of them were so shocked when they heard the name Osiris. They didn’t remember much about the War of the Ancients, so they couldn’t tell for a while if this was the normal historical line. During the War of the Ancients, Demon King Osiris was actually here?!

Considering that the night elves of this era might not know anything about the Burning Legion, Krasus wanted to explain the structure of authority within the Burning Legion to Ravencrest and tell him about Osiris destroying the World Tree Nordrassil in the future. But just as he was about to tell him, he suddenly shut his mouth. This was because he realized that such stories might have a major impact on history.

If the night elves knew that Nordrassil would be destroyed in the future, would they still plant the seed of the World Tree? Would the Aspects still bless Nordrassil?

After realizing this, Krasus thought about it and could only use another method to explain to Ravencrest, “Your Lordship, you should understand that although Azeroth has suffered the invasion of the demons of the Burning Legion, the demons that are too powerful still can’t enter the world. This is the case with Sargeras, the leader of the Burning Legion. This is also the real reason why they’re using the energy of the Well of Eternity. The strongest demons who have entered the world through portals are Archimonde and Osiris. They are two out of the three commanders of the Legion…”

“So?” Ravencrest asked in puzzlement.

Krasus took a deep breath. “What I want to say is that compared to Archimonde, the person we really have to be wary of is Osiris! Although Archimonde is powerful, he’s also famous for his recklessness, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to deal with him. But… if Archimonde is reckless boor, then King of Despair Osiris is a venomous snake! An incomparably venomous snake! An insidious venomous snake hiding in the dark that can attack us fatally at any time!!”

Although it was impossible to describe what happened in the future, Krasus used three progressive metaphors to warn Ravencrest. His grave tone made Ravencrest realize the seriousness of the matter, so he nodded solemnly, indicating that he would remember.

Although Illidan was sitting at the side, he didn’t say anything. His eyes flickered, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

However, although everyone was extremely vigilant after hearing about the appearance of Osiris, their war target, the Well of Eternity, remained unchanged. After more than two months of fighting, the night elves realized the combat strength of the Burning Legion. If they couldn’t close the Legion portals, what awaited them would only be the destruction of the world. They had to stop this invasion at the source.

After this war meeting, the mission to raid the Well of Eternity was finally handed over to Tyrande Whisperwind. Lord Ravencrest handed a team of elite Rooksguards to her and told her that even if this attack couldn’t break through the barrier and blockade, she should at least test the weaknesses of the defense.

In fact, Broxigar had wanted to take the initiative to accept this mission or go with Tyrande. He only wanted to repay her kindness to him. But perhaps because of the special significance of the Well of Eternity to the night elves, Broxigar, a foreigner, was ultimately excluded. Left with no choice, he could only continue to attract the attention of the Burning Legion demons on the main battlefield and think of ways to create advantageous conditions for Tyrande’s surprise raid.

Before the start of the raid, Malfurion bade Tyrande farewell affectionately and reminded her to be careful. This scene made Illidan, who was watching in secret, feel extremely sad. He loved Tyrande so deeply, but in this love competition with his brother, Tyrande chose his brother, Malfurion, so Illidan naturally suffered a heavy blow.

The setback in love made Illidan a little disheartened. He vented the pain in his heart on the demons of the Burning Legion and fought them even more crazily. He even blamed the loss of his love on the demons. In his opinion, it was because of the invasion of the Burning Legion that the tremendous pressure on Tyrande caused her to make a choice earlier. If not for this, in a peaceful environment, he, Illidan, might have had a chance during the long race of love…

However, what no one expected was that Tyrande’s raid failed. A group of unexpected people appeared. Not only did they make Tyrande fail on the verge of success, but they even captured her because she was heavily injured and unconscious!

These unexpected people were their fellow night elves from the Highborne troops under Queen Azshara!

Led by Xavius, they had defeated Tyrande’s raid. The Rooksguards led by Tyrande had been completely wiped out, but because of her identity as a priestess of the moon, she was able to escape the threat of death. After being captured, she was taken away by Xavius.

When they heard this bad news, be it Malfurion, Illidan, or even Ravencrest, they were dumbfounded. Although the Kaldorei Resistance had been fighting against the demons of the Burning Legion during this period of time, they still recognized the rule of Azshara in name. Many lords of the night elves, including Ravencrest, still thought that Queen Azshara was only bewitched and deceived by the demons. They all had fantasies that as long as they could wake her up, all of this would end.

But in the end, Xavius’s attack completely woke up Ravencrest and many night elves. They clearly realized that Queen Azshara was standing opposite the night elves, and she planned to go all the way with the demons of the Burning Legion…

Because of Tyrande’s capture, Illidan even had an intense argument with Ravencrest. In fact, the lower-level night elves had long stopped fantasizing about Azshara, and the only ones who had fantasies were lords like Ravencrest. Now, because Ravencrest had not expected Azshara to attack flagrantly, it caused Tyrande to fall into the hands of the enemy. Illidan’s heart ached, and he was angry. He strongly demanded that Ravencrest think of a way to save Tyrande. But Ravencrest had to be cautious because the enemies the Resistance was currently facing had suddenly increased from one to two!

Therefore, after knowing that Tyrande was not in any danger for the time being because of her identity as a priestess of the moon, Ravencrest could only reject Illidan’s request, causing him to leave angrily.

Illidan’s love for Tyrande made him burn with anxiety. He found his brother, hoping that he could go with him to rescue Tyrande. But Malfurion was much calmer. Although he also loved Tyrande deeply, he knew that with Xavius’s attack, the situation of the war would change drastically.
