This encounter was incredible because Malfurion had seen Broxigar in his dream, so he immediately realized that Broxigar might be able to help him solve his current predicament.
Thus, he planned to find a way to save Broxigar. Although he couldn’t explain the cause and effect, Tyrande chose to believe him without reservation. In the end, she even took the initiative to find Illidan to help save Broxigar.
After saving Broxigar, Malfurion brought him to meet his mentor, the demigod Cenarius.
The moment Cenarius saw Broxigar, he directly judged that Broxigar was not from this world and said that he didn’t belong to this time and space.
Moreover… there was another person who didn’t belong to this time and space…
Under Cenarius’s lead, they meet another chosen one. It was Rhonin, who was under house arrest.
It turned out that demigods were very clear about the serious consequences that time paradoxes could cause. If these time travelers changed history, then the world would fall apart and face destruction. In order to prevent these time travelers from messing around and causing chaos, they could only put them under house arrest.
When Broxigar and Rhonin met, it was hard to say that their eyes were brimming with tears, but there were certainly tears. Rhonin didn’t need to be placed under house arrest alone anymore because… Broxigar would accompany him under house arrest…
As for the other time traveler, Krasus, he was not in the territory of the night elves because he had gone to seek help from the dragons…
Thus, Cenarius placed Broxigar and Ronin under house arrest in the forest. Even Malfurion’s pleas were of no avail until…
… Until the portal opened, the Burning Legion appeared, and the demon army began to wreak havoc on the land. A group of hellhounds rushed into the forest and ran to the place where Broxigar and Rhonin were under house arrest due to a freak combination of factors.
Without a staff and feeling insecure, Rhonin was just about to cast a spell in a flurry when Broxigar displayed the bravery of a veteran warrior. He picked up a stone from the ground and pounced at the hellhounds with a roar. After a short battle, he smashed the hellhounds to death with the stone.
This scene happened to be seen by Cenarius, who had just returned. It wasn’t until this moment that he realized that these two warriors from the future, especially Broxigar, had combat experience and courage that other night elves couldn’t match. Now that the Burning Legion had arrived, it was simply a huge waste to place such combat strength under house arrest.
After thinking about it, Cenarius released Broxigar and Rhonin. It just so happened that Malfurion, Tyrande, and Illidan were preparing to join the Kaldorei Resistance of Lord Ravencrest, so he brought the two of them with him.
On the way, Krasus, who had returned from the dragons, appeared. He knew from the beginning that the night elves alone couldn’t defeat the Burning Legion, so he had sought the help of the dragons. Unfortunately, not only did he obtain nothing from this trip to the dragons, but his blood elf form made it impossible for him to obtain the trust of the dragons. Moreover, because he had noticed the scheme of the Black Aspect, Neltharion, he had been cursed by him and was unable to say anything about him.
Left with no choice, he could only return and join the Kaldorei Resistance of the night elves with Rhonin and Broxigar.
Of course, his efforts were not in vain. After the Burning Legion descended and wreaked havoc, the dragons still noticed the threat of the demons, and Neltharion took the opportunity to propose gathering the power of the five dragonflights to create a divine artifact, the Dragon Soul, as their means to fight against the Burning Legion in the future.
The other Dragon Aspects quickly agreed to this proposal, but they didn’t know that Neltharion’s scheme lay here…
After Broxigar, Rhonin, and Krasus joined the Kaldorei Resistance of the night elves, they were not outstanding at the beginning. Ravencrest was a great lord, and he had enough skills and prestige to lead the night elves’ army. In the war with the Burning Legion, the night elves defeated the advance of the demons again and again under his command. Not only did they keep Suramar from falling, but as more and more elves joined, the Kaldorei Resistance grew stronger and stronger.
Illidan, Malfurion, and Tyrande acted together. It was at this time that Illidan defeated a doomguard commander of the Burning Legion named Azzinoth. From this demon, Illidan obtained his signature weapon, the Twin Blades of Azzinoth!
However, the good times didn’t last long. Before the Kaldorei Resistance could grow stronger again, Lord Xavius, Queen Azshara’s advisor, sealed the energy of the Well of Eternity. He set up a powerful barrier along the edge of the lake to prevent the energy of the Well from overflowing and used it all to expand the portal above the Well.
This seal might seem insignificant, but it directly crippled most of the Kaldorei Resistance’s strength. Among the night elves, there were only two main classes: ranger and mage!
Malfurion’s druid was a new class, but it had not been able to expand and gain more influence…
Among all the combat classes of the night elves, rangers only accounted for a small portion. Most classes were mages. Due to the energy overflowing from the Well of Eternity, night elf mages were very powerful in terms of casting speed and spell power. They didn’t even need to study magic much to use the energy of the Well of Eternity to release exceptional magic.
This advantage had caused the vast majority of the night elves to be mages. But the disadvantage was that these mages had developed a dependence on the energy of the Well of Eternity over the long years!
Therefore, as soon as Xavius sealed the Well of Eternity, the mages of the Kaldorei Resistance were immediately thrown into chaos. They could no longer tap into the energy of the Well of Eternity, to the extent that many mages couldn’t even cast a fireball when facing demons.
For a time, the Resistance suffered heavy casualties, and the front line resisting the demons was forced to retreat again and again.
At this time, the importance of Broxigar and the other two became apparent. They, who came from the future, did not rely on the magic power of the Well of Eternity. Both Rhonin and Krassus could release magic attacks normally, and Broxigar, this veteran warrior, was even more brave. Malfurion and Cenarius joined forces to create a powerful weapon for him, the Axe of Cenarius. This was a divine artifact-level battle axe. Broxigar held the Axe of Cenarius and fought at the frontline of the war against the demons. Behind him was the magic support of Rhonin and Krassus. With the help of the three, the Kaldorei Resistance actually stopped retreating.
From the beginning, Lord Ravencrest didn’t trust them. But later, he praised the strength of the three of them more than once and cherished them exceptionally. He even sent his adjutant, Jarod, to protect the three of them and support them on the battlefield.
However… that was all. Even though the other night elves knew that they were brave and fierce in battle, they disdained to consult them. The arrogance in their bones was beyond words.
Even so, Broxigar didn’t show any anger. To him, as long as the enemy was demons of the Burning Legion, this was an excellent battlefield of glory. Dying here would be as good as it got.
During the war, Broxigar discovered that dreadlords of the Burning Legion were actually taking the corpses of the dead and using Scourge technology to try to resurrect the dead. This reminded Broxigar of the tragic scenes he had witnessed in Lordaeron. With all his courage, he risked his life and went alone to kill the dreadlords.
It could be said that whether it was Broxigar, Rhonin, or Krasus, they had all made outstanding contributions in this war against the Burning Legion.
Unfortunately, although they had killed many demons, they couldn’t kill them all. With the opening of more Legion portals, more and more demons poured into Azeroth from Argus. Every time a demon died, they would not die completely but would soon return.
This kind of war was unequal to begin with. If this continued, the Kaldorei Resistance would fail sooner or later.
Of course, Lord Ravencrest understood this. So during the war, he discussed with Malfurion, Tyrande, and Illidan to think of ways. They found that the source still fell on the Well of Eternity.
If they could break the barrier that sealed the Well of Eternity, the night elves would be able to obtain strength again, and hundreds of thousands or even millions of mages would be able to stand on the front line again. Needless to say, this help would be immense. Moreover, if possible, while breaking the barrier that sealed the Well of Eternity, it would be even better if they could find a way to close the portals of the Burning Legion.
Thus, under this alluring scene, Ravencrest sent many scouts to Zin-Azshari to inquire about the situation of the Well of Eternity. As more and more information came back, the Resistance gradually understood the current situation of the Well of Eternity.
“There’s good news and bad news!” Ravencrest told everyone in a war meeting. “The good news is that after Xavius sealed the Well of Eternity, he didn’t place guards at the edge of the Well. Those nobles aren’t interested in drinking cold winds in the wilderness every day.”
“Then, what’s the bad news?” Rhonin asked.
“The bad news is…” Ravencrest hesitated for a moment. “In the sky above the Well of Eternity, the largest portal is still expanding. It’s said that the person in charge of guarding this portal is a powerful demon named Osiris…”
Before he finished speaking, Broxigar’s eyes widened, and he suddenly stood up from his seat. And with the same expression as him were Ronin and Krasus!
“You! You… Lord Ravencrest, please forgive my rudeness!” Krasus said in horror. “Are you sure the name of the demon you mentioned is… Osiris?!”
