Theramore

How many Naga are there in the Endless Sea? No one can count them all.

This group of Highborne elves, who originally sank to the bottom of the sea with Queen Azshara, initially numbered very few.

However, after Queen Azshara accepted the "gift" of the Old Gods, not only did the form of the Highborne elves change, but their characteristics were also completely different from their original appearance.

At least, their reproductive ability was greatly improved.

Now, almost every coastal area of Kalimdor is inevitably attacked by large groups of Naga.

The Darkspear trolls of the Echo Isles were almost wiped out by the joint forces of the Naga and murlocs.

Other coastal areas are also suffering, and even the powerful night elves are overwhelmed by the Naga attacks.

Justice Lands occupied by the Valoran Federation and Azshara, which is currently being mined, are also receiving special attention.

However, with their strong military force and Fizz's reliable intelligence, they are gradually gaining an advantage.

But another stronghold is not so fortunate.

The joint navy of the Old Alliance of Lordaeron and Kul Tiras initially landed in Dustwallow Marsh.

They built a fortress on Theramore Isle, constructed a port, and sent exploration teams to continue exploring the inland.

The highest military officer stationed here is Admiral Barry Westwind from Kul Tiras.

However, the Old Alliance did not initially value the new continent as much as Aiden did, especially after the Northrend campaign began.

The kings and leaders believed that the Lich King would be defeated soon, and the Burning Legion would not have a chance to descend.

Therefore, for more than half a year, not a single soldier was sent to Theramore.

Only merchants who valued the huge business opportunities hidden in the maritime trade between the two continents flocked there.

These people once became the largest part of the Theramore fortress, and also made it prosper rapidly, becoming a new city full of commercial atmosphere.

These Alliance merchants snatched many orders from the goblin merchants of Ratchet in the Barrens, and earned a lot of wealth.

Therefore, some merchants who had made a fortune moved their families over.

But Theramore's military strength has not increased.

For more than half a year, the entire Theramore has only had less than two thousand troops.

At present, all the territories of the Eastern Kingdoms except for Dun Morogh have been abandoned, but it will take at least one or two months for the fleet and the floating city to cross the Endless Sea.

Distant water cannot quench the present thirst. Recently, the large-scale attacks of murlocs and Naga are almost breaking through this emerging fortress!

Barry Westwind had to send a messenger on a zeppelin built by Ratchet that travels between the new city and Theramore to request reinforcements from the Valoran Expeditionary Force.

Fortunately, the Valoran Expeditionary Force has controlled the situation on its coastline, and Chieftain Alistar has not forgotten the Supreme Commander's repeated reminders to maintain good relations with other countries of the Alliance.

After the messenger from Theramore arrived, he immediately stated that he would send "War Shadow" Hecarim, the most powerful existence in the Valoran Expeditionary Force, to support them.

When the messenger saw that there was only one reinforcement, and it was still a gloomy and terrifying monster, he immediately pleaded anxiously: "General Alistar, the situation in Theramore is very critical now.

Can you send a little more reinforcements? General Westwind may not be able to hold on at any time! For the sake of the Alliance sheltering you!"

"Hey, hey, what do you mean the Alliance sheltered us?" Captain Gangplank was immediately unhappy when he heard this.

"Our Valoran Federation doesn't just eat for free either.

Don't talk as if we can't survive without the Alliance!"

The messenger was also anxious and spoke without thinking.

However, he really thought in his heart that the Alliance had sheltered these refugees from another world and provided them with a fertile land.

"I'm sorry, I mean for the sake of belonging to the Alliance!" he perfunctorily changed his words.

"How many troops does Theramore have?" Gangplank asked with a long face.

"More than two thousand!" The messenger exaggerated a little to make himself look less embarrassed.

In fact, even before the damage, their total number was less than two thousand, let alone after several Naga raids, they had suffered heavy casualties.

"Centaur, look, people don't like you going! I think you should stay!" Gangplank looked at Hecarim and said deliberately.

"I'm too lazy to run so far. There are enemies nearby. Where can't I kill?" Hecarim said contemptuously.

He now has the qualification to say this, because he has collected a lot of centaur souls and created a huge ghost cavalry.

It is by no means an exaggeration to say that he can now stand up to thousands of troops alone.

"Ah! No, no, no, I apologize, I apologize! Our Theramore is really about to fall! Please, send some reinforcements!" The messenger thought that the Valoran Expeditionary Force refused to send troops, and hurriedly cried out.

"No, I didn't say we wouldn't send reinforcements." Gangplank interrupted the other party's pretentious behavior and said sloppily, "Hecarim is not going, we will send someone else!

Don't you have two thousand people? I will send three thousand warriors to support you. Are you satisfied now?"

The Theramore messenger was stunned. He thought the other party was joking. The tone just now was clearly not what he meant.

He asked uncertainly: "You... are you serious?"

"I never joke!" Gangplank said seriously.

The tauren chieftain next to him couldn't help but chuckle, and the little murloc lay exaggeratedly on the ground laughing and rolling: "Hahaha, pirate leader, are you not joking? Don't make me laugh!"

Gangplank coughed twice and said impatiently: "The messenger is next to you, can you save some face?"

The others held back their laughter, and Gangplank said to the messenger: "Don't worry, I will do what I say!"

Then he shouted outside: "Hey, who is that, first mate! You come here!

It's you, take two thousand musketeers and one thousand tauren warriors to help this gentleman solve the trouble in Theramore!"

After instructing the first mate, Gangplank said to the messenger: "Mr. Messenger, if you are not at ease, you can go back to Theramore with my first mate!"

The messenger looked at this scene dumbfounded, and couldn't believe that the other party had so readily dispatched reinforcements.

"Ah, thank you so much! Theramore is saved!"

"No need to thank me, this is just a reward for your 'sheltering' us!" Gangplank's smile was sarcastic, making the messenger embarrassed and not knowing how to answer.

Afterwards, the messenger led the three thousand reinforcements to Theramore by land.

Bypassing the Barrens from Justice Lands and entering Dustwallow Marsh again, it is thousands of miles away, and it is conceivable that these reinforcements will not reach their destination soon.

After the messenger left happily, Gangplank shook his head and said: "What an incurable idiot."

"Centaur, people look down on you!" the little murloc laughed.

The troll Vol'jin also shook his head and said: "In your words, it is picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons, right?"

"Well, the commander said that."

Chen Stormstout said: "It's quite like a proverb from our hometown, very meaningful and very vivid."

"Let's not think about them anymore.

Let's continue the topic just now. Fizz said that strange tree, should we think of a way?"

"Didn't we get the news last time that the commander and the others are about to cross the sea?

Let's talk about it when he comes! I feel that thing may not be simple. We may not be able to solve such a problem."

"That's right! Fizz, you go back to the sea quickly and monitor those Naga who have grown a pair of branch arms.

These monsters will definitely launch another attack soon. We have to be prepared."

"Now I think it's good for Centaur to stay.

If we can't beat that kind of monster, he can still stand up to it!"

"Are you only realizing how powerful I am now? Humph!"

—

Illidan did not get too many opportunities to be with Tyrande after regaining his freedom.

In fact, before he even had a meal, Tyrande told him that there were demons of the Burning Legion causing trouble near Darkshore, as well as Naga sea witches and murloc raids, and the tribesmen there could not hold on at all.

When Illidan saw Tyrande frowning with worry, he immediately patted his chest and assured: "Let me go! I will help you solve these troubles!"

"Then be careful!" Tyrande instructed.

Hearing the other party's concerned words, Illidan immediately felt full of strength.

Then he led a team of Tyrande's sentinels to Darkshore, and he felt that with his ability, he would definitely be able to quickly and sharply solve the enemies on Darkshore.

But the situation here is not what he expected.

There are three forces here, night elves, demons, and Naga.

The three are hostile to each other, in chaos.

The Naga attack both elves and demons. Both are enemies of the night elves, and the demons regard all creatures that do not belong to the Burning Legion as enemies.

When Illidan dared to come here, the night elves had already retreated, and they were unable to resist the sudden attacks of the Naga and demons.

In fact, after the elves were defeated, the Naga and demons fought for territory.

Illidan immediately gathered the remaining forces and launched a counterattack with the sentinels he brought.

Under his leadership, the night elves did gain a foothold.

But wanting to break through the joint blockade of the demons and Naga is far away, let alone completely clear the two from Darkshore.

"What should I do?" Illidan didn't know how to complete this task.

After he once again led the elf warriors to eliminate several demons, he wiped the demon blood on the double blades alone.

In this battle just now, two more tribesmen were killed.

"We must make changes!" Illidan stood up, he tried hard to think of a countermeasure, and suddenly thought of a sentence—the enemy of my enemy is my friend!

Demons must be his enemies. Naga are not necessarily.

After dawn, except for the elves on sentry duty, everyone else began to fall asleep.

Illidan quietly left the camp and walked towards the beach alone.

He wanted to test whether his idea could be realized.
