For 25,000 years, Haddon has dreamed of the day when he captured Antorus and recovered Argus more than once.

Yes, fantasy.

Hatton himself also knew that it would be impossible to achieve this ambition with his group of Broken Ones, who could only barely survive under the pursuit of the Burning Legion. It was just a beautiful fantasy after all.

Putting aside whether he could defeat the Burning Legion, which was so powerful that it could dominate most of the universe, with his knowledge, he simply could not imagine how to restore Argus, which had been deeply eroded by evil energy.

Once upon a time, the powerful influence of the Eredar civilization in its heyday made Argus a beacon of civilization that everyone in the universe yearned for.

However, time has passed, and today's Argus has long lost its courage and turned into a stinky ditch with evil green water flowing everywhere.

Not to mention Hatun, even Fandral Staghelm, who has been deeply involved in the druidry for tens of thousands of years and has purified many eroded areas in Azeroth and Draenor, felt his scalp numb when he saw Argus's current situation. I can't find an entry point to start purification at all.

Sarlayan also discussed this issue with the practical druids headed by Fandral not long ago.

By the way, the so-called practical Druids refer to those "seekers" who have no intention of getting involved in politics and just want to practice the Druid philosophy wholeheartedly.

In the view of Fandral Staghelm, although Malfurion, who single-handedly founded the Druid sect, has made outstanding achievements, as a Druid, he is no longer pure, and it is inevitable that he will be mixed with many mundane things when considering issues. political considerations.

It can be said that Malfurion is now a qualified politician and an excellent national leader, but he has lost his purity and is no longer suitable to be the leader of the Cenarion Council.

Malfurion himself was aware of this problem, which is why he handed over the title of Speaker of the Cenarion Circle to Archdru Ilensa Gianthoof after taking office as Speaker of the Dark Republic.

Although Fandral Staghelm is also a member of the Parliament of the Dark Night Republic, due to his personality, he is more of a name only, and rarely actually gets involved in the political and diplomatic considerations of those who are doing nothing.

Since leading a large number of practical druids to Draenor to preside over the long-term purification project, Fandral has not participated in important decisions at the national level for a long time. At most, he has exercised his power as a member of Parliament to vote with the crowd.

However, it was Fandral's pragmatic attitude of not being deeply involved in politics that attracted a large number of druids who were also uninterested in official careers and strived to maintain the balance of nature to gradually gather around him.

Rensa Gianthoof, who is in charge of the Cenarion Circle, is more like a great steward with an overall overview. Many times he is only responsible for approving special proposals submitted by the aloof Archdruids, and rarely actually participates in their respective projects. Among the engineering projects presided over.

Each archdruid of the Cenarion Circle has his or her own area of ​​expertise, and in line with Azeroth's increasingly international development trend, today's Cenarion Circle is no longer just the night elves.

The successive additions of tauren, high elves, Kul Tirans, and Zandalari trolls quickly expanded the size of the Cenarion Circle, and also increased the work intensity of the speaker, Rensa Gianthoof. .

After all, the Cenarion Circle is not an official political organization, but a relatively loose-structured Druid Alliance. As the speaker, Rensa Bighoof will not micro-manage every project. His kind of rule by inaction Instead, the Cenarion Circle entered a period of unprecedented rapid development.

When it comes to who is the best in the field of evolutionary erosion in Azeroth today, if Fandral Staghelm is ranked second, no one has the confidence to pin the title of first on his head.

However, at least so far, Fandral Staghelm, who came to Argus with the coalition forces, has not come up with a definite plan to purify Argus.

After some discussions with Sarlayan, Fandral finally understood the crux of the matter.

It's not just the accumulation of pollution from the demons who have settled here for a long time. The most fundamental problem is the corruption of the Argus star soul...or the world soul itself.

After being corrupted by the evil energy infused by Sargeras and losing his mind, the star soul of Argus, nicknamed the Annihilator, completely lost the ability to communicate with others.

As the world soul of Argus, the nature of his own power will naturally profoundly affect the state of this planet in all aspects.

To put it more simply, the evil energy pollution in Argus is not as simple as going from the surface to the core, but fundamentally changing the geological ecology of the entire planet from the inside out.

If the self-corruption problem of the Argus star soul is not solved, even if Fandral can lead the druids to initially purify the surface, it will only be a useless effort to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, and there will soon be a more ferocious backlash.

Then here comes the problem.

Can the Argus star soul be saved?

the answer is negative.

Due to the forcible catalyst of Sargeras, the star soul of Argus was corrupted by evil energy before it officially entered the mature stage, and even its self-will was completely lost.

Today's Argus the Destroyer is just a pathetic puppet who obeys orders. Even if the Burning Legion entrenched in Argus is destroyed, the star soul of Argus is already hopeless.

It needs to be emphasized that this conclusion was not proposed by Sharlayan, but by Eonar, the Mother of Gods and the Binder of Life.

Eonar, who loves all life equally, made such a pessimistic judgment, which shows that the Argus star soul cannot be saved.

Without the cooperation of Star Soul, it would undoubtedly be extremely difficult to purify the environment of Argus.

Sarlayan even considered abandoning Argus altogether and letting the miserable planet fend for itself.

However, after seeing with his own eyes the relatively intact natural environment in the Eredas region, Sarlayan changed his original plan under Velen's lobbying.

If Eredas is used as a reference standard and the remaining ecosystem of Argus is spread to the surroundings step by step, theoretically, there should be hope to restore the original ecology of the planet through long efforts.

However, this project is destined not to be a huge project that can be completed in a year or two, or even dozens or hundreds of years. It can easily take hundreds of years, or even thousands of years.

And this is after annihilating the Burning Legion, eliminating the Annihilators who continue to corrupt Argus, and expelling the Void forces.

The "guests" who have come all the way from Azeroth cannot stay here for a long time. Even Velen, the spiritual leader of the Draenei, does not intend to move his family back to his hometown of Argus.

This is a very real problem. Today's Argus is simply not suitable for the vast majority of intelligent creatures to live in, and the Eredar, who were once the indigenous inhabitants of Argus, are no exception.

The Azeroth Expeditionary Force can help Argus solve problems such as the Burning Legion, the Annihilators, and the invading Ethereal Shadowguard, but if they want to restore this traumatized planet to its original state, they can only rely on the leadership of Haddon. The Broken Ones, who have already adapted to the Argus environment, have worked hard for a long time before they can finally achieve it.

Through in-depth communication with Valeela, Hatton clearly felt the sincerity in her words.

This whole set of plans is not something that can be said casually. It requires extremely detailed investigation and research in advance.

Because of this, Hatton, whose temper has become increasingly stubborn in recent years, was finally moved by Valeera's sincerity and agreed to follow her to Eredas to meet with the coalition leader Sarlayan, and... after more than 25,000 years of separation, he His "old friend" - the former Chief Consul of Eredar, Prophet Velen.
