Expecting the possible great unseen dangers within the naga capital; Lady Vashj reassembles her armies before heading towards for Zangarmarsh. After hours later; Illidan and Lady Vashj finally reach the small swampland region of the Zangarmarsh. Much to the horrifying surprise; the naga capital within the swamps have already been taken over by the forces of the Legion, with various groups of powerful demons ruling over the entire area. Countless scattered corpses of fallen naga warriors lies over the ruined capital, including the Naga Lord Naj'entus. With the highly fortified defenses of the naga bastion, as well as the great strength and power of High Warlord Naj'entus; Lady Vashj was truly surprised and disheartened to see the naga defenders defeated, and overrun by the demonic forces, despite the formidable defenses built upon their capital on Zangarmarsh.
Vashj: "No! We are too late! My stronghold in here has already fallen! How was it even possible?! This capital was well protected and the defenses here were formidable! My champion, Naj'entus! But how?! Who could possibly match up the strength and power of my greatest lieutenant?! This cannot be! My very own capital on Outland is now in ruins, and those demons have already claimed the fountain shrine of power that I created for my warriors, our very own rightful source of magic!"
Illidan: "This does not bode well, Vashj! If those demons were able to conquer this place, then it only means, they were being led a stronger and more powerful foe that we are yet about to face! I believe even Mephistroth could not be that strong to defeat Naj'entus, but perhaps someone else, someone stronger. Akama said that there are other demon commanders sent here to aid Bladefist, and we are yet to see the other agents of Kil'jaeden. Regardless for now, we will put an end to all these foul demons first! We shall take our vengeance for the destruction of your fortress in here!"
Illidan and Lady Vashj brought up a full force naga army with them in Zangarmarsh. Assembling the strongest of naga warriors that consist of snap dragons, dragon turtles, naga myrmidons, naga sirens and the elite naga royal guards; Illidan and Lady Vashj intend on making a one huge decisive blow against the demons that took over the naga stronghold on Zangarmarsh. The demons within the ruined naga capital are composed of overlords, fel ravagers, voidwalkers, eredar warlocks, and the fearsome doom guards. Illidan and Lady Vashj lead their army upon a heavy aggressive assault against all the demon warriors that took over the ruined naga capital. Caught by surprise from the intense massive strike of Illidan and his army; the demons fight back at the ruthlessly pushing naga warriors in defense of the bastion they established within the ruined naga capital. With the strength and powers of both Illidan and Lady Vashj leading their army; the naga forces are able to gain the upper hand and push further against their demonic foes. The intense heavy war battle continues as many warriors from both opposing sides are falling upon the battlefield. After a while later, Illidan and his army eventually overcome the forces of the Legion; slaying all the demons and razing their entire bastion upon the ruined capital to the ground. In the end; Illidan and his naga stand victorious in successfully defeating the demons, despite losing a considerable number of naga warriors during the war battle. Illidan and Lady Vashj approach the fountain shrine on the heart of the naga capital.
Vashj: "No! The fountain shrine has been defiled! Its pure waters had now been corrupted by the demons! Our very own source of magic is now gone! The demons have ruined everything, master!"
Illidan: "The waters have been tampered with the dark essence of the demons that lingered here, Vashj! There is nothing else that we can do for it! However, the worst is yet to come in this war!"
All of a sudden, the demon hunter Altruis arrives at the scene, and begins making a report to Illidan. Altruis has been sent by Illidan upon a stealth scouting mission in Hellfire Peninsula before coming into Zangarmarsh. Altruis tirelessly scouted various areas of the Hellfire Peninsula for few days to gather as much information as he can. Now making his return to his master, Altruis informs Illidan of a grave news about everything that he saw on the Hellfire Peninsula during his scouting mission.
Altruis: "Lord Illidan! The demons have already reactivated the dimensional gateway on Hellfire Peninsula! Their armies have greatly increased, and more demons are still coming in as time passes by! The demons and fel orcs roam the entire plains of Hellfire Peninsula, and their main stronghold protects the gate! A powerful doomlord also oversees the operations of the demons at the gate!"
Illidan: "There is no time to waste, Vashj! We must crush our enemies on their hideout in Hellfire Peninsula, and find the gateway! I shall permanently seal it, just as how I did before to all the other gateways. Hopefully; we will finally find Kargath and Mephistroth there, and put an end to them!"
