Finally, Illidan used his remaining magic power to open a portal like a dog and fled to Outland in disgrace.
But even so, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. When he destroyed the Burning Legion and returned again, he would prove to everyone that he was right!
For this reason, Illidan did not kill Maiev. He needed a witness, and the crazy woman who was as persistent as he was was the best candidate.
Everyone is a pawn, everyone can be sacrificed, including himself.
But as time went by, his naive original intentions eventually changed. His subordinates were loyal, and the demon hunters had no room for anything except their masters.
The hunter girls looked at him with fascination, and the boys' eyes were full of longing! Maybe at that time, he really let go of everything and fought against the Burning Legion with all his heart and soul.
"I have been imprisoned for ten thousand years... and expelled from my homeland... and now you have set foot on my territory! You are courting death!"
This was said by the little girl next to me a few days ago. She completely copied what I said from the bottom of my heart. My heroic biography was made into a story in their world, and everyone there liked me...
Illidan stared blankly at the phone screen with his dark green eyes; the video had already finished playing.
He stopped pressing the replay button and stared blankly at the black screen. The loyal demon hunters behind him looked at his back and wanted to come over to ask about the situation, but were afraid of being blamed.
The battlefield below was still extremely brutal. The coalition forces were stuck in front of the temple gate and could not move forward even a single step. It seemed that they were in a stalemate, but the number of demons was getting smaller and smaller.
"Supremus was broken."
The girl's gentle reminder beside him made Illidan raise his eyes. The huge Hellfire was shattered by the Holy Light Cannon, and its body turned into dull and lifeless boulders.
"The high-ranking warlord was also killed in the battle. The orc holding the giant axe was called Garrosh Hellscream, and the battle axe in his hand was called Gorehowl. That axe was once in the hands of his father Grom Hellscream, and he killed the pit lord Mannoroth with one strike."
The girl's tone was light with a hint of smile. She said, "Afterwards, in the parallel world of Draenor, Grom once again killed Mannoroth with a sword, but this time he did not die. Instead, he was saved by his son who traveled from the future to the past. That's how the famous scene happened."
She raised the Emerald Dragon Fang in her right hand, like holding up Bloody Howl, and said in a very naughty tone: "Orcs will never be slaves!!!"
After that, she changed her tone and said helplessly: "Then the plot unfolded into the big brother of the alliance inviting... There was no such momentum of unwillingness to be a slave, so much so that they later joked that - orcs will never be slaves! Unless they provide food and accommodation!"
Illidan was amused by her humorous tone and turned his head to look at the battlefield below. The young orc warrior Garrosh had just jumped high and chopped Naintus on the forehead with an axe. Another loyal subordinate died on the battlefield.
Then the orcs stepped on his corpse, raised their battle axes, and roared in orcish that Illidan could not understand. But he knew without thinking that what they were shouting was "Strength and glory, for the Horde".
Illidan ignored the scene on the battlefield and turned to look at the girl in white beside him.
He asked softly, "If I die here, you can leave?"
Before the girl could say anything, a red dragon suddenly swooped down, opened its huge mouth, and blew hot dragon breath at her. Illidan raised his head casually, and the demon eye shot out two sharp evil energy eye beams!
The laser-like eye ridges pierced straight through the dragon's breath, piercing through the body of the giant dragon that was trying to bypass the defense line and launch a sneak attack.
"Well...it was like this before. If you died we could leave. I came here to say goodbye to you."
Hui glanced at the giant dragon that was killed instantly, and her calm tone revealed an indescribable emotion, "But now, their mission has changed. If you die, Miss Bai Xin and the others will probably die with you. Our mission has become to stand by you."
"And now, you don't seem to care about the safety of Azeroth. We seem to have gone too far. You seem to have understood something."
Xueno had spoken to Illidan before, but now Illidan did not listen to her instructions. He recalled only one fel warship. The purpose was to alert the coalition forces below and prompt them to attack.
"It's a bad feeling to have my fate controlled by others. I never like it." Illidan slowly raised his head and stared at the sky. "If they want to kill me, then kill me. Everything I did was just my own wishful thinking."
"Even if history has not been rewritten, they will not praise me. In the normal history you said, I would kill Zera, and Turalyon might hate me to the core. I am not afraid of death, and I don't care what they think of me. I just feel worthless now."
"So, have you compromised?" Hui stared at Illidan with her bright eyes.
"You're trying to convince me?"
Illidan suddenly grinned and said, "I think that you came to me at the end not just to say goodbye to me."
Hearing this, Hui was suddenly stunned. She lowered her eyes and nodded weakly, "We are thinking the same thing."
"She is a good woman. If Tyrande could treat me like this, I would be willing to be torn to pieces."
Illidan thought of the new Lich King. Before, he just thought that woman was crazy! But now, he felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart.
She wanted to come to me, perhaps just because of the resonance in her heart. She seemed to have something to say, and those words might be nonsense, but she could only talk to me because I and she had the same experience.
This behavior is what I love.
Love? What a childish and ridiculous thing. They are trapped in the so-called "God's cage" and forced to complete God's games one after another, but they still love so passionately.
Kitahara Sora was willing to die for her, and she was willing to destroy herself and the world for Kitahara Sora... How touching.
This is a relationship where they can give everything for each other. Even the love between Tyrande and Malfurion is not so pure. At least they will not treat everything in the world as sand for each other.
No, Tyrande is totally incomparable to the young Lich King! The Moon Priestess is always "just" and cares about the people. If it really comes to that, she might watch Malfurion die for the sake of the world, and then avenge him at all costs.
This is their story, and Illidan is like this interesting little girl next to him.
They both silently sacrificed for each other, chose to let go and compromise, and neither could ever get what they really wanted. She seemed to be a little better than Illidan, at least the one she liked was not as hypocritical and pretentious as Tyrande.
"Yeah, I feel like I'm redundant. Actually, I can handle this by myself. In that case, it might take a little longer."
The girl sitting on the edge of the stairs swung her legs gently, her tone filled with helplessness and sadness, "In fact, for him, I am willing to wear the crown. I asked myself if I could give everything for him. Then, I got a positive answer."
"In fact, my eyes can see through anyone. I can read her plan, but I am not as smart as her. There are many things I can't think of. So I have no chance to do anything for him. Every time when I see through her plan, she has already implemented it halfway."
"Or, can you learn to let go like me?"
These words came from Illidan's mouth. The girl looked up in astonishment. Was she being comforted? The arrogant Illidan actually comforted her!
But looking at Illidan's eyes that were blinded by fel energy, Hui asked softly: "But have you really let it go completely? After all, there is a shadow in your mind. That childish idea has supported you until now."
Seeing the other party's slightly surprised expression, Hui said again: "I don't know the details of your past, but I can clearly feel my feelings... What exactly are my feelings for him?"
The girl tilted her head and thought for a while. "You probably don't know something called 'Stockholm Syndrome'. I think I have this symptom. He did save me, but he also almost destroyed me..."
"I went crazy so many times back then, so many times that I can't even remember them all. When I finally ended the nightmare, I almost stabbed his carotid artery with a dagger."
"But I can see that your love for him is not mixed with anything else." Illidan raised his head and looked at the battlefield again.
In the flash of magic and explosion, his most proud biochemical warrior 'Blood Boil' also lay down, Mistress Shahras was surrounded, the succubi's spells were cleared by the priest, and the sharp blades tore their beautiful bodies into pieces.
The demon hunter who had lived for 16 years and witnessed countless tragedies and despair, actually completely ignored the lives of his subordinates and was talking about love with a -year-old girl.
Perhaps this was his real purpose, to take the initiative to end the so-called expedition. His men would all die on the battlefield, and finally it would be his turn.
There will be no more demon hunters. Azeroth may need a hero, but this hero is not himself, nor his loyal subordinates. Even if they remember themselves later, who can remember the demons who died below?
They are not crazy, they all have their own ideas. They have paid everything for this, but can only be forgotten! There is no fairness and absolute justice in the world.
Illidan already knows the future, and he even thinks that Sargeras is just. If Azeroth had not been corrupted by the Old Gods, the fallen Titan would not be so obsessed with that planet!
Sargeras must destroy Azeroth in order to eliminate the Old Gods and for the safety of the entire universe. It cannot be said that he is definitely wrong.
The process of waiting for death is actually quite boring. In such a boring moment, it seems nice to chat about things that have been forgotten. I haven't been so childish for many years.
That is why the betrayer would take this little girl who pleases him seriously and would naively say that there are no impurities in her feelings.
"Yes." Hui nodded slowly. "The reason why I can recognize myself is that in the subsequent contacts, I really like him. He has always been very gentle to me, and he is indeed not like Tyrande, who righteously tore my heart apart."
"He wanted to end it without hurting me, but he didn't know how. He was even afraid that he would develop feelings for me. He acted so clumsily, and yet he was so cautious with me. But we were in the same team, and we couldn't really be separated unless we died."
"Maybe, he has fallen in love with me, but he doesn't even know it." Hui's lips curled into a smile, recalling the memories of the last game.
"On the last mission, we were surrounded by bugs all over the mountain. He could have escaped, but I would have died. Then, he chose to stay."
"He told me that their belief is to live, and their literature also expresses life. But he said 'live', but he chose to stay for me."
Illidan stared at Hui intently, and suddenly said: "It seems that we are talking about the wrong direction. Aren't you going to convince me?"
"Will the traitor be convinced by me?" Hui smiled and said, "Zera, the Mother of Holy Light, resurrected you. She has given you a second life. She also tried to convince you, but after failing, she forcefully injected holy light into your body, trying to replace the evil energy, but I have already told you the result."
Illidan was stunned by this, and then he laughed out loud. He laughed so hard that he fell backwards. After a while, he said in a rough voice, "Indeed, I hate being forced. Even my savior cannot enslave me. Maybe I will really kill her."
"So I just want to chat with you like a friend. If I can get your approval, maybe the one I like will be very surprised. He likes you very much, he said..."
Hui tilted her head very cutely, imitating Kitahara's tone when he was a junior, and said, "Dan is so handsome! So handsome! But he is too stupid. Many things are not black and white. Missions are just empty words at some point. It all depends on your heart."
"Why must he be obsessed with Tyrande? She is not the most beautiful girl in the elves. It's just that Illidan only focused on her and ignored more beauties..."
Hearing this, Illidan's body suddenly trembled...
Hui gave a meaningful look, tilted her head slightly, and lowered her voice as if whispering, "In fact, in our world... many people are fantasizing about your relationship with Maiev. I know that's all their nonsense... but think about it carefully, isn't Maiev the most beautiful woman in the elves when she takes off her mask? At least I think she looks better than Tyrande."
This joke finally made Illidan's face darken. It seemed that the little guy next to him was taking it too far.
He was about to speak, but she continued, "I can see through people's hearts. I know that you and her were just acquaintances before, and now you are enemies. But I can see what you desire in your heart."
"You stare at the sight of our world in a daze, seeing the prosperous peace over and over again. Guarding Sargeras in an eternal prison is not what you really want, but you keep telling yourself that it is your mission."
"enough!"
Illidan spread his wings and an angry roar came out of his mouth, and the cold murderous intent enveloped the girl.
But she was not afraid at all, and continued to insist: "You advised me to let it go, but you yourself couldn't let it go. Maybe you let go of Tyrande, but you never let go of the slightest desire in your heart. Maybe at some point in time, you thought that besides Tyrande, you might meet another right person... You just used the title of 'Demon Hunter' to numb yourself."
"Shut up!!!"
Illidan finally couldn't help but roar. The girl seemed to have touched upon something that was most difficult for him to talk about. She really could see through people's hearts. She brought up the shameful thoughts that he didn't even want to think about, and then she revealed them directly and put them on the table honestly.
"You are not even afraid of death. You even start to compromise and give up. You understand everything. You know that what you insist on is just a joke. So you let your subordinates go to die and wait for your own end! Even so, you don't want to think about that childish wish... cough..."
A claw condensed from evil energy suddenly stretched out, grabbed Hui's neck and lifted her up in the air.
Fel energy bound her body, and all her abilities were imprisoned. She could not use shadow steps or domains. Everything was in vain in the face of absolute power.
Her face turned red and her breathing became difficult. If Illidan exerted a little force, the fel claws would break her neck!
The demon hunters behind him wanted to rush over. They didn't understand why Lord Illidan suddenly attacked the girl. They were chatting so harmoniously just now, and even Lord Illidan laughed heartily! How many years had it been since he laughed?
In fact, apart from the sinister sneer, the demon hunters have never seen his real smile!
The demons on the battlefield below were already losing ground, and my grandmother had already fallen powerlessly to the ground. The four lords of the Illidari Council who were in charge of commanding the battlefield had already personally gone down to fight.
But Lord Illidan is still here, no one knows what he is doing, and no one knows what he is thinking. He has become moody, and he is here bullying a weak...human?
"I...know...ahem...I don't have the same chance...as you. But I just want...to stay by his side...that's all. This is what I want...but you don't dare to pursue what you, ahem...want."
Her tone became difficult, her expression became ferocious, her neck was burnt by evil energy, and puffs of green smoke came out, but she was still talking.
"I know you have paid everything for this, but I hope you will always be nicer to yourself and your subordinates. You are their belief."
She uttered the last words with great difficulty, her expression was distorted by discomfort and pain, her sentences were intermittent, but revealed unparalleled sincerity!
She knew that he would not kill her, but would he really not kill her? Illidan had always hated the feeling of being controlled by others, and being seen through his inner thoughts seemed to make him even more uncomfortable!
The betrayer increased the strength of his hands, but the next second... he was defeated.
Illidan's ferocious expression finally relaxed. He looked at the girl who was on the verge of suffocation and was held by the claws of fel energy with a complicated look.
What she said... made sense. At this moment, Illidan's silent heart was finally slightly stirred.
Even if the whole world treats you coldly, you must be nicer to yourself and your subordinates...Except for the inferior demons and evil orcs with low IQ, no one is a fool.
The Illidari know you are sending them to their deaths, but they still have no complaints! They are loyal to you, and you are everything to them.
Mistress Shahras is despicable and treacherous. Because of her betrayal, you were able to defeat Magtheridon so easily. Even though she is such a sinister and cold-blooded demon, she has not betrayed you until now.
She fought for you until the last moment. The sharp blade blessed by holy light cut off her five arms, but she still gritted her teeth, got up and continued to fight!
Vashj is loyal and devoted. You ordered her to build the Serpent Temple to extract the energy of the Coilfang Reservoir. Even when the army was approaching, she did not retreat at all. She knew she would die, but she thought it was a worthy death!
She could hold on a little longer, a little longer. As long as she lived one more second, she could draw one more second of energy.
Everyone's original intention has changed. They used to be loyal to Kil'jaeden, but now they are loyal to Illidan. They are no longer pawns, but living lives.
They are demons, but what is the origin of demons! Demons do not represent destruction, because they have reason. Even if everything is destroyed, what can the demons do in the end? All that is left for them is self-destruction!
Finally, the evil claws that bound the girl suddenly dissipated... She fell to the ground powerlessly.
Illidan slowly lowered his head, staring at his hands in a daze, his tone filled with deep sorrow.
"I seem to have been doing something wrong all this time..."
"If you can correct your mistakes... you're a good kid." The girl smiled with difficulty. Half of her face was corroded and burned, and she looked hideous...
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion, and the huge ship above was finally hit by a cannon, breaking into two pieces in the middle and slowly falling down.
Dense corpses fell from the gap in the giant ship, smashing down like raindrops. The living hunters spread their wings and glided towards the coalition forces below.
Illidan glanced at the Demon Hunter and Maiev behind him, then turned his head again and locked his gaze on the girl who was lying on the ground with the emerald green dagger tightly grasped in her hand.
She mentioned in a previous chat that this dagger was the first gift given to her by the person she loved.
The demon hunter bent down and pulled the dagger out of her hand. The girl seemed to sense something, her eyes turned horrified, she shook her head weakly and begged, "No... cough, no, please... please."
But Illidan ignored her pleas. In her horrified eyes, he applied a little force with his fingertips. With a snap, the Emerald Dragon Fang was broken like glass...
Hui stared blankly at the dagger fragments on the ground, her eyes almost dull.
She opened her mouth tremblingly and murmured, "I don't like you anymore... Illidan."
"I don't need anyone to like me, little guy." The demon hunter grinned with a delighted smile.
