"What… what's going on?"
Aiden had just returned to Shirethe when he noticed the strange atmosphere here.
When he first arrived, the Kadar Outpost only had tens of thousands of troops stationed there, mainly to monitor the battle between the Ancient Gods and the Burning Legion in the Outlands.
Even after the Sun God broke the seal, there were only about 80,000 troops stationed here.
But now, the Shirethe Allied Forces had established a defense line hundreds of miles long in the Shirethe Mountains, with over 200,000 troops gathered here.
And subsequent troops were still arriving through the teleportation array.
"There's going to be a war, Lord Aiden." General Nasbier's expression was serious.
He was not far from the teleportation array, so he received the news of Aiden's return immediately.
This Zodang general explained the current situation to Aiden.
After listening, Aiden frowned deeply.
He was wondering why Sargeras had changed so much when High Priest Zakhary quickly arrived and handed him a Moonstone, saying it was a sacred object of the Moon God, Elune.
Aiden grasped the stone and felt a strange power enter his body. In an instant, he understood everything.
This Moonstone contained a fragment of Elune's will. She told Aiden that the Pantheon's army was coming to Shirethe through the teleportation array, and the Burning Legion was also mobilizing, with a large number of demons gathering.
The Pantheon? The Burning Legion?
Were these two sides going to fight?
Aiden felt his brain was a bit overloaded.
Whether from the background setting of "World of Warcraft" or from his understanding of the two highest Titans, Aiden felt that the two sides should not be fighting.
If they were going to fight, they would have fought more than 20,000 years ago. Why wait until now, and come to a planet that doesn't seem to have any need for it?
Elune could only observe what was in front of her and could not explore the true thoughts of Aman'Thul and Sargeras. Aiden was equally puzzled.
Why had things turned out this way after he had only been away for a while?
Were the three highest authorities ultimately going to meet in this way?
Aiden had a headache.
He couldn't figure out what the big shots were thinking, so he could only do it according to his own ideas.
If this war was unavoidable, then he had to have the power to protect himself.
"We'll build a teleportation array too!" Aiden said through gritted teeth.
The leaders who had already arrived all looked at him.
"We can't lose our momentum! No matter what the Pantheon and the Burning Legion are going to do, we must have the power to say 'no'—now we will build a portal, connecting the Eternal Kingdom and Azeroth!" Aiden resolutely decided.
He couldn't help but recall the scene of the angels of the Eternal Kingdom asking to fight before he came back.
He originally thought that he wouldn't need the angel army, but now he had no choice but to use them.

Generally speaking, planets that have been transformed by the Titans will leave a clear mark—that is, the twin moons.
Azeroth and Draenor both have twin moons, and the smaller one is the artificial satellite made by the Titans, which is loaded with their equipment.
This equipment is undoubtedly very powerful, especially since it is related to the Dream World, the Reshaping System, and the Imaginary Energy Release System, and so on.
More than 10,000 years ago, the Titans also came to Shirethe, but at that time, this planet already had a highly developed civilization, as well as its own beliefs and order.
So after defeating the Ancient Gods, the Titans did not modify this world much, but only established an alliance relationship with Elune, leaving behind a teleportation channel.
Therefore, there is no Dream World here, nor is there a Reshaping System and guardians appointed by the Titans, only a planetary defense system and a dedicated teleportation channel.
The former is to prevent overly powerful beings from entering Shirethe at will, and the latter is so that the Pantheon can send troops to Shirethe in an emergency.
As the teleportation gate was activated, a powerful bronze Titan was the first to walk out through the huge teleportation gate a few hours later.
He looked around and saw the Moon God Elune, and nodded to her: "Greetings, Goddess of the Moon, Aggramar brings you greetings from the Pantheon."
"Avenger Aggramar," Elune's calm eyes carried scrutiny, "Now you can tell me, why did you enter Shirethe?"
The Pantheon Legion Commander issued a loud metallic voice: "Because of the Burning Legion's movements—we have detected that the Burning Legion is gathering the most elite troops from all the planets they occupy.
The elite demons stationed on Argus, the Abyss, and other places are being teleported to Shirethe.
We of the Pantheon have an obligation to stop the demons' conspiracy and protect our allies."
"You want to start a war in Shirethe?" Elune asked.
"If the Burning Legion launches an attack." Aggramar did not deny it, even implicitly admitting it.
The Burning Legion would not stop in its tracks just because it heard the name of the Pantheon, nor would it retreat without a fight. There would inevitably be a great battle between the two sides.
"But that will destroy Shirethe, and tens of millions of lives!" Elune angrily accused, "Can't you fight in the Twisting Nether?
Why did you choose Shirethe? This place is too small to resolve your disputes, you should be clear about this!"
"I am very sorry for the battle that may be about to happen. But if we don't come, the Burning Legion will still destroy this world." Aggramar had no remorse.
"Our warriors will try their best to protect mortals and will not actively and deliberately harm the innocent. As an ally, you should trust the Pantheon."
After he came out, more Titans and ordinary giant warriors walked out of the teleportation gate.
They lined up and gathered nearby, each with neat movements and strict military discipline.
As an army that often fights demons and Ancient Gods, these warriors have traveled countless universes and never know what fear is.
Even if their opponent is the Burning Legion.
"I want to know your purpose." Elune said coldly.
"Our purpose? Whatever the Burning Legion wants to do, we will stop them from doing it. That's it." Aggramar showed a meaningful smile.

Before Sargeras re-entered Shirethe, few people in the entire universe knew that he was now occupying Med'an's body.
Sargeras was powerful, but he only had one soul.
He had previously controlled Medivh, and after truly merging with Med'an, the body of this human guardian was naturally useless.
He did not kill the other party because there was no need.
Medivh was left in the Twisting Nether, and no one paid attention to him.
He is now the only surviving and most powerful guardian, but that is of no use.
Even if he were a hundred times stronger, he could not defeat Sargeras now.
In the more than ten years of sharing a body, he had long known how powerful the Dark Titan was.
But as a father, he must not watch his son be controlled by the leader of the demons.
If there was any way to save Med'an, he would try it!
After leaving the altar, Medivh gritted his teeth and finally chose to return to Azeroth to seek strength.
A light flashed, and when he returned to the real world, he was in his magic tower—Karazhan.
It had been almost two months since he disappeared.
And it had been more than a month since Aiden and the others entered Reverse Karazhan and killed Twilight Dragon Dargonax .
The Alliance troops searched the entire Reverse Karazhan.
Except for finding some of the missing people from the first day two days ago, the rest could only find corpses, and some had long since disappeared.
The tens of thousands of demons lurking in it had also been cleared out.
Most people firmly believed that Aiden and the others must not have died.
The warriors were also willing to fight bravely to save the four legendary heroes who might have fallen into the hands of the Burning Legion, but they had the heart but no way to shed blood and sacrifice.
The Alliance still does not have a mature way to send a large number of troops into the Twisting Nether.
The Naaru's ships do have such technology, but they don't think it's time to send them out.
The main force of the Alliance had already withdrawn from Karazhan, and the battle in Pandaria was also coming to an end.
The Burning Legion's conspiracy was resolved, and the only remaining Old God N'Zoth did not dare to act rashly.
Azeroth had gained a rare peace.
Now, only a few hundred troops are stationed in Karazhan to monitor the movements here, most of whom are mages from Dalaran who make up the "Violet Eye".
In addition, there is Garona—the half-orc female assassin who watched her husband and son being sent away from Reverse Karazhan by the Twilight Dragon two months ago.
She is just an assassin and does not currently pledge allegiance to anyone, so she has nothing that must be completed.
Garona stayed here to wait for a miracle, waiting for Medivh and Med'an to be able to walk out of Reverse Karazhan one day.
Now this wish has been half fulfilled—two months after Medivh and his son disappeared, a thin, cloaked, staff-wielding, desolate figure entered her sight.
"Medivh? Is that you, Medivh?" Garona exclaimed in a lost voice.
Medivh raised his head and looked at the half-orc who revealed his figure from invisibility in front of him.
A trace of excitement appeared in his eyes, and the hand holding the staff trembled.
"Yes, it's me."
"You're back? Where's Med'an? Where is he?" Garona ran over quickly and asked a long series of questions.
"…I'm sorry."
Garona saw the other party's guilty eyes and lowered head and was suddenly shocked.
—
A few hours later, Medivh appeared in the auditorium of Los Angeles.
The leaders of Azeroth received the information and put down their work to rush here through the teleportation array.
Medivh told what he knew.
He knew that to save Med'an, he had to borrow all the power he could borrow.
"Lord Aiden and the others went to a planet called Shirethe?"
Medivh nodded.
"The Burning Legion is invading there?"
Medivh continued to nod.
"Turalyon and Alleria are also in Shirethe?"
The war that was happening in distant Shirethe was connected to Azeroth in this way.
This three-way war that was about to break out was originally unrelated to Azeroth and would hardly affect this world that had just gained peace.
