Upon hearing that the Temple of the Moon was occupied, Elisande no longer held onto any illusions.
"The Temple of the Moon affects Suramar's safety, and we must reclaim it as soon as possible."
Gale nodded, "That's right, we need to first warn our allies and secure assistance from Prince Farodis."
Elisande was a bit worried, "But our connection with the Well of Eternity has been cut, and we can't use the portal."
"Leave this to me." Gale took out the eternal holy grail and opened a portal to Nathalas Academy, "Grand Magister, you can send someone to request aid."
Elisande, with a strange expression, had Captain Ravencrest enter the portal to seek help, then asked Gale, "That doesn't seem to be the energy of the Well of Eternity?"
Gale secretly using the Well of Eternity's water was an open secret in the Kaldorei Empire. Not only Gale, but other Mages had done the same thing. However, decades ago, the Sin'dorei nobles, who considered themselves High Elves, prohibited such actions. They regarded the Well of Eternity as Azshara's private property, and no one could use it without Azshara's approval.
Other Mages were restricted because they needed to steal from near the Well of Eternity. But Gale, using the eternal holy grail, left the High Elves with no recourse. Some High Elves even proposed issuing a ban to Gale. Yet, no one dared to go to Antu'dara.
All Kaldorei knew that Gale had distinguished himself in the Troll Wars, but Azshara had not given him the reward he deserved. Gale lived in seclusion in Antu'dara because he was affected by a curse. But not long after, Gale resolved the curse, yet never returned to Sin'dorei.
On one hand, Gale had no intention of returning to Sin'dorei; on the other hand, Azshara and the High Elves did not want him back.
Savis's faction vigorously suppressed Gale and Prince Farodis, and their allied forces were ostracized from the High Elves. As Gale's subordinate, Metri, despite showing great talent, still did not receive Azshara's favor and is still not a Royal Mage.
Under these circumstances, would the High Elves dare to appear before Gale? And issue a ban? Were they afraid of not living long enough? So, for these decades, only Gale could use the Well of Eternity's water without permission.
Everyone knew this and could only feel envy, jealousy, and hatred in their hearts.
Elisande was among these people, but now she discovered that Gale was not using the Well of Eternity's energy, and she was very surprised: Did Gale know early on that the Well of Eternity might become unusable?
Gale nodded, "Indeed not, this Arcane Energy comes from an interdimensional space full of Arcane."
Elisande: "How did you find that interdimensional space?"
"Metri learned about it from the Blue Dragon."
Gale didn't want to discuss this, so he changed the subject: "Your Excellency, we should first scout the Temple of the Moon."
Elisande nodded, "Let's go to the top of the tower!"
Gale, taking Brox, followed Elisande to the top of the tower. Elisande activated the magic circle inscribed on the tower's peak, and a giant Arcane Eye appeared before the three of them.
"Gale, you command it!"
Elisande knew she had no military experience, so she handed control of the Arcane Eye to Gale. Gale did not decline; he used an Arcane connection to the Arcane Eye, commanding it to fly into the sky. It flew to a sufficiently high altitude before heading towards the Temple of the Moon.
An hour later, Gale saw the Temple of the Moon, resembling a round box. He slightly lowered the Arcane Eye's altitude, then projected everything he saw using projection magic.
In the Temple of the Moon's plaza, demon Mages were using the treasures enshrined in the Temple of the Moon to charge a portal. The portal was already as large as a palace, and teams of demons, over ten yards tall, were walking out. Within the portal, one could faintly see a giant demon waiting inside.
"Burning Legion!" Brox exclaimed.
"You know these monsters?" Elisande asked.
Brox nodded, "The Burning Legion is the most powerful demon army in the universe; their goal is to destroy all worlds. My world, Draenor, was destroyed by the Burning Legion, which is why we had to come to Azeroth."
Elisande's expression was troubled, "Are they strong?"
"Extremely strong!" Brox gritted his teeth, "They not only possess incredibly powerful troops, but also understand profound Fel magic. Demon Mages using Fel can not only absorb the life force of living beings but also use Fel to pollute the environment, making the land barren."
"Then we must shut it down as soon as possible."
"You are right, Lady Elisande!" Prince Farodis teleported up, and he looked at Brox with surprise. Although he had heard Captain Ravencrest talk about Brox, he was still astonished.
"Your Royal Highness!" Gale greeted him.
Prince Farodis teased, "I thought you were going to stay in Antu'dara until you died!"
Then, he looked at Elisande seriously, "I already understand the situation in Sin'dorei. Lady Elisande, the Empire has reached a critical moment of survival, and we must take action."
Elisande nodded, "You are right, Farodis. Let's start with the portal at the Temple of the Moon!"
"No problem!" Prince Farodis readily agreed.
Gale sighed inwardly; at this time, Elisande was still only concerned with Suramar, truly short-sighted. However, to resolve this crisis as quickly as possible, he indeed needed Elisande's help.
Or rather, the help of the eye of aman'thul.
Historically, Elisande and others used the pillars of creation to close the portal at the Temple of the Moon. But afterwards, they made a wrong choice: Elisande used the eye of aman'thul to seal Suramar, and Prince Farodis, using the tide stone alone, was counter-killed by Azshara, causing the Kaldorei to miss the best opportunity to close the portal.
Therefore, Gale wanted to change their fates and also scheme against the Old Gods.
"Both of you, with the demon forces at the Temple of the Moon, it will be difficult for us to break through. I have an idea that we might be able to try."
"What idea?" they both asked.
Gale: "With the Arcane Eye providing us with vision, we can conduct a long-range bombardment."
They both looked at the projection screen, then at each other, and nodded simultaneously, "We can try it."
Gale took out the eternal holy grail, established a connection with the Arcane Eye, and charged the Arcane Eye.
The three of them separately took out the Hammer of Kaz'goroth, the eye of aman'thul, and the tidestone of golganneth, activating the power on the pillars of creation, and bombarded the direction of the Temple of the Moon.
