However, there was still no news of Duke. Even when Alleria tried to contact Alexstrasza, with whom she had the best relationship, and then looked for Nozdormu, she did not get a positive response.
"The damage to time and space has not yet been repaired, and they cannot come back for the time being." This was Nozdormu's answer when pressed by the Red Dragon Queen.
Time goes by day by day.
Because of the constant harassment from werewolves running out of Silverpine Forest, the Alliance organized a siege in May, but the effect was not very good.
Werewolf disease is an infectious disease similar to the plague. Anyone bitten by a werewolf will become a werewolf. This is the same as the undead's snowball tactics.
If it was just about exterminating the werewolves, that would be easy, just push them through.
The problem lies in the strange characteristics of the Emerald Dream. After the Emerald Dream area that Archmage Arugal used to put the werewolves to sleep was opened, there was more than one exit, and werewolves could appear out of nowhere in any place in the entire Silverpine Forest area.
The werewolves continued to attack the Alliance's supply teams, which almost resulted in more and more werewolves.
In desperation, they could only announce a border blockade. Just like thirteen years ago, the Alliance was divided into north and south to defend the border of Silverpine Forest. As a result, Gilneas, which was hanging high on the cliff, became an independent country isolated from the Alliance.
On the other hand, in view of Illidan's repeated troublemaking, the Alliance decided to reopen the Dark Portal and send an expeditionary outpost to see what the environment was like.
After repeated discussions, this advance force of only 30,000 people was led by Gavinrad, Danath Trollbane, Kael'thas and their followers who were eager to make a contribution. They began to fight their way into Outland, which is now the Hellfire Peninsula in Draenor, and set up a forward base on the peninsula.
However, due to unknown interference, interstellar transmission suddenly stopped after the advance army passed the other side of the Dark Portal, and the Alliance had no choice but to declare the advance army missing.
This year, the Alliance finally ended the war and returned to peace. However, due to Duke's warning before he left, no one dared to take it lightly. The Alliance began to secretly focus on Blackrock Mountain between the Scorching Canyon and the Burning Plains, because, according to Duke's prophecy that was not a prophecy -
The fire elemental forces behind the terrifying giant fire element Baron Geddon in the battle at Blackrock Mountain will sooner or later come out to cause trouble...
Back in time——
Ten thousand years ago in the twisting void, a man named Du shamelessly deceived the Eredar twins who claimed to be honest, reliable and never lied, saying that his name was "Infernal Affairs"!
In fact, Duke was also afraid that the Eredar Twins would see through his clumsy lie.
But he had to take a gamble.
Kil'jaeden is the most vengeful person. In history, even though Archimonde had fallen on his knees, he still tirelessly hunted down Ner'zhul, who dared to betray him, in various ways.
Although Duke was extremely sure that no demon would know who Edmund Duke was ten thousand years ago, he was absolutely sure that if he dared to reveal his real name, it would definitely affect the time and space ten thousand years later.
Maybe if we go back to the time before the first battle of the Dark Portal, Medivh, who was possessed by old man Sargeras, would kill Duke the moment he heard his name.
The only option was to give a false name.
He also considered the possibility that the Legion would see through his clumsy lie.
After careful consideration, he felt that the possibility of being discovered was low.
It's simple. If it's an important matter that can't be solved directly, it may require strategy and conspiracy.
On the other hand, if a healthy adult human was asked to crush an ant that had nowhere to escape, would he take the trouble to set a trap?
Duke guessed that since he arrived before the Burning Legion's first invasion of Azeroth, this was most likely an event of selecting talents from the conquered world.
What remains of a world conquered by the Burning Legion?
There's no hair left!
Kil'jaeden would constantly recruit races he considered powerful to join the Burning Legion, such as the Pit Lords and the Dreadlords. After all, only a few were chosen by him. Most of them were reserve members whose home planets had been destroyed and who could not meet the Burning Legion's formal organization standards.
In Kil'jaeden's eyes, those poor creatures whose worlds were destroyed, no matter if they were once guides or traitors, were useless. They were a little higher than ants, but they were not worthy of his attention.
Would such an existence have very perfect archival records?
Duke was the first one who didn't believe it!
Moreover, because he felt guilty and was afraid of being discovered by Tyrande, Duke had specially performed a "micro-plastic surgery" on himself before traveling through time. He injected a large amount of holy light into his cheekbones and chin, stimulating the nearby muscle tissue to become red and swollen, making himself look more sunken, thinner, and more scary.
Since he was not killed immediately after waking up, it proves that the Eredar Twins did not have a complete list of names and appearances.
With such well-founded inferences, if Duke is still caught in the crossfire, it can only be said that he is unlucky.
Obviously, Duke passed!
Queen Sarolas nodded and showed a charming smile: "Sir Infernal Affairs, right? You are very good. Bring your servants and follow me. This is a direct order from Lord Kil'jaeden. If you do it well, you will be able to become a formal member of the Burning Legion."
Duke, the movie star, appropriately expressed his ecstasy: "I will serve the Burning Legion till death!"
Then Duke ran happily to wake up Lord Roar.
In order to show his strength, Duke was also cheating secretly. He used Mind Whiplash right away. The biggest feature of this Shadow Priest's signature skill is not the damage, but the trauma it causes to the enemy's mind and weakens the enemy's will.
This also makes it convenient for Duke to transform the current situation into mental thoughts and directly send them into Grom's mind, at least to prevent Grom from having a tantrum.
Grom woke up in a convulsion of pain.
His mind was in a mess, but before he woke up he had been told that they were now deep in enemy territory and that he had to obey Duke in everything.
"Huff! Huff! Huff!" Grom, who was panting heavily through his big nostrils, was also a little annoyed. He didn't know how to fight the ancient war ten thousand years ago. He had always expected to listen to Duke.
Who knew it would be such a terrible situation?
Fortunately, he had already broken free from the curse brought by Mannoroth's demon blood and was no longer as violent and impulsive as before. Otherwise, he was really afraid that he would not be able to control himself and would rush forward with Gorehowl and start fighting directly.
Feeling the gazes from the Eredar Twins, Grom finally stepped onto the actor's ladder, lowered his head, a little terrified and a little uneasy, and deliberately asked: "Master, what happened?"
Duke, the actor, solemnly introduced the current situation to Grom, and then said, "Grom, let's go!"
