A Looming ThreatSaurfang Returns

High Overlord Saurfang says: FOR THE HORDE!
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Saurfang! It's about time.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Look around you, hero! What a lovely sight. The wisps are scattering. One by one, the wall comes crashing down.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Now is the time. The World Tree is ours for the taking! Find Saurfang. We shall finish this once and for all.

High Overlord Saurfang says: The warchief faces Stormrage alone! I must...
Malfurion Stormrage says: ARGH! Saur...fang?!
High Overlord Saurfang says: A dishonorable blow. I... regret it.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Regret nothing. You did well.
High Overlord Saurfang says: It was not my place to interfere.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: My victory was inevitable. He was merely wasting my time.
Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Finish him and be done with it. Take a moment, if you like... then take his head. Meet me at the World Tree.
Malfurion Stormrage says: You have led... your Horde... in service... of death. You will... regret this day...
High Overlord Saurfang: I struck without honor. I did not deserve to end him.
Tyrande Whisperwind says: The entire war is without honor. How dare you spill so much blood... for nothing!
High Overlord Saurfang says: Not for nothing. We spill blood so that the Horde will endure.
Tyrande Whisperwind says: Because you spared Malfurion, I will offer you a choice.
Tyrande Whisperwind says: Attempt to stop me from taking him away, and die... or remain there, kneeling in the dirt, and live.
High Overlord Saurfang says: You have a choice as well. Take him to Darnassus and both of you will fall when we conquer it... or flee somewhere far from here, so that you both survive.
High Overlord Saurfang says: Come, champion. We must follow our Warchief to... victory.

Comment by WishbladeHope we somehow get to see more of Sylvanas and Malfurion's confrontation, and of course looking forward to the cinematic where we hopefully figure out who started the fire.Comment by dek1979That mount looks so awesome.Comment by OverHektorSaurfang would totally destroy Malfurion and Tyrande at the same time. Without his axe.
With a hand tied on his back.

Cleaving with his eyebrows.Comment by 1834269So it is becoming more and more likely that Genn Greymane destroyed Teldrassil to deny the Horde control of it. He is present, insane and Blizzard needs and wants to balance out the morals a bit between the factions. Nobody else among the Alliance leaders would knowingly destroy a World Tree and the Horde has no reason to.Comment by kfire2kenbobSo it is becoming more and more likely that Genn Greymane destroyed Teldrassil to deny the Horde control of it.

Hmm. "One of the last of the giant bats to escape Undercity following the siege of Lordaeron". Should I be worried? Nah.Comment by SilverDragon234Bah! Teldrassil is much too tough and armored to catch fire. Reminder: Ashenvale belongs to the Grand Alliance, always and forever!Comment by cloyd12Killer Queen? Is this is Jojo reference? :DComment by VelachthraelKiller Queen?

boring, shallow, no danger, lots of back and forth empty travelling, no reward until the end.

It really feels like the target audience is kids.Comment by ShafeyaSaurfang would totally destroy Malfurion and Tyrande at the same time. Without his axe.

So far what we know the horde did is: Went back on their word to help aid the healing in Silithus and used that as a stage to launch a surprise invasion. Rounded up any civilians they came across and executed them. Blighted every area they took control over. Held Furbolg chieftains hostage and forced their people to fight the Night Elves for them, resulting in them being wiped out. Targeted head figures not just of an "opposing" faction, but figures who are part of and even lead some of the major neutral factions responsible for keeping the world safe time and time again.

End of the day, no matter who burned the tree, be it the Alliance trying to keep a group slaughtering their citizens from taking the city, or a third group who were able to accomplish this thanks to the horde, the horde come out as THE evil of this conflict. Not to mention the tree burning would still be on their heads.Comment by DolanJTrumpSo it is becoming more and more likely that Genn Greymane destroyed Teldrassil to deny the Horde control of it.

Their leaders know everything, always wise, always survive. Malfurion should die here, We're losing so much characters all the time(Cairne, Garrosh, Vol'jin, Nazgrim etc). I really hope This time horde will win the war, but knowing blizzard Andiun will be more wise than the god and he will predict everything.

And about who burned the tree:
a) Grey
b) His wfe
c) Night elves
Horde wanted to capture it, not burnComment by RankkorThe roof!!!! the roof!!!! the roof is on fire, but we don't need no water, let the motherf............ ohhhh..... too soon? yeah........ too soon.Comment by Alair74 Their leaders know everything, always wise, always survive
