In the sky of the Wraith Lands, a dark canopy appeared at some point, but it hung there, and in Sylvanas's memory, it had always been like this place when she was born, and it was said that this dark canopy had existed since her father's first arrival on the land.

Arthas stood at the edge of the Wraithlands, his grey eyes reflecting the sight of the other side of the river, the maple leaves in full bloom, the air filled with the smell of fragrance, which reminded him of his memories in Lordaeron, even though he didn't need them now.

For the deceased, memories are painful, so the deceased do not need to sleep, but even so, every time the tide of memories comes, they will be plunged into the past scene, unable to extricate themselves, when the good memories and the cruel reality collide, the spirit of the deceased, will feel great pain.

Arthas was accustomed to this, the evil mana of Frost Sorrow made his body strong, and his spirit strong, he would not be driven crazy by the sights of the past like those low-level undead, and he would not allow his subordinates to be in such a bad situation.

"Here we are..."

Kel'thugad's deep voice sounded in Arthas's mind, and the King of the Death Knight turned around, and a delicate gem was placed on the stone behind him, and in the darkness of the Ghost Lands, a silver curtain of light appeared above the gem, and on the other hand, a High Elf with long golden hair and turquoise eyes, looked down-to-earth, but the face had already shown signs of age.

Judging by the dress, it should be an archmage.

"Darkan, I found what you need!"

Arthas stretched out his hand and waved it forward, and a tall figure appeared behind Arthas, and as he approached the light curtain, the faint light illuminated his face, emaciated, pale, and indifferent.

"This is the most powerful warrior under my command, and the best thing is that he has a secret about defensive runes in his head, so, Darkan, now I need you to do what you promised me, and when the dust settles, I will reward you!"

Arthas looked at the archmage with surprise and joy on his face in the light curtain, and a stiff smile tugged at the corner of his mouth,

"I am a generous man, whether it is the sunwell or the secret of eternal life, I can give it to you!"

A few seconds later, the elf on the other side of the light curtain spoke, his voice was very magnetic, soft, and articulating clearly, and at first glance he was a powerful person.

Actually, he is.

Darkan de la Heel, one of the lords of the Council of Silvermoon City, one of the twelve members of the Supreme Council of the entire Quel'Salas, in addition to King Anastarian and Prince Kael'thas, is already at the apex of Quel'Thalas.

But Darkan inherited all the High Elves' fanaticism for magic, and he longed for greater power, but he was also an opportunist, so he didn't pay attention to Arthas's promises.

This elven mage is very similar to Kel'thugad, but he is more rational than Kelthugad, he only believes in the power he has in his hands, so even if he is in conflict with Arthas, it is only to use the power of the King of Death Knight to break through the tight protection of the sunwell.

As long as he can obtain the hidden power of the eternal holy water of the Sun Well, it is enough for him to transcend the sainthood.

Therefore, in the face of Alsace's request, Darkan was very reserved and said,

"Of course, my ally, just give me a little time... I'll be able to open the door to defensive runes for you, but I'll need a little time..."

"I'll give you time, Darkan, seven days!

Arthas stroked the ebony ring on his finger and said indifferently,

"If I hadn't seen the defensive runes unravel by the time the sun set on the seventh day, all your dealings with Kel'thugad would have spread throughout Silvermoon City, and you and I would both know what that means. ”

A hint of gloom flashed in Darkan's eyes, but his face did not change, and he nodded with the unique etiquette of elves,

"Very good, 7 days, enough, but I need all the memories of General Theron, remember, it's all, the defense rune is a very complex magical structure, even the slightest mistake will attract the attention of the sun chaser, I can't bear the result, you can't do it!"

Arthas didn't speak, just put his hand on Lotherma-Theron's forehead, and with his fingers gently pulling outward, a brilliant silver spark appeared on Arthas's fingertips, and he moved it to the surface of the gem, and the next moment, Darkan's pleasant voice came.

"Ahh I feel it, it's these things, secrets that have been passed down orally by the upper echelons of the ranger force, and it's good, I know!"

The light curtain shattered, and with a gentle stroke of Arthas, the gem that had turned into powder was swept aside, and Kel'thugad's voice sounded again.

"Darkan is not a good collaborator, I can only do this far!"

"Enough, as long as the defense rune is opened, the rest, I will do it myself, these stupid elves are superstitious about the power of magic, but they will soon be able to see the power that will not be succumbed to magic!"

Arthas turned his head to look at the indifferent Death Knight, Lotherma Theron, and chuckled,

"That's... True power!"

In Arthas's laughter, the ghostly lands regained its tranquility, and the fate of Lotherma Theron, the original historical Elven Regent, was changed as Sylvanas's replacement.

When Sylvanas fled, Arthas quickly found a replacement, and as a means of showing his strength, he personally gave new life to the dead Lothmar-Theron, and before Kel'thugad was resurrected, Lothama, who was only one level lower than Sylvanas, became Arthas's number one general.

The 4,000 reinforcements led by Lotherma and the rangers who were wiped out by Sylvanas, in addition to the hundreds who fled at the last moment, accompanied their commanders, became the sharpest warbows of the Scourge of the Dead.

Of course, the fate of Lotherma was unknown to Dick and Sylvanas, and they were now quietly marching towards Quel'Salas along the banks of the river not far from Windwalk, and sure enough, as Sylvanas said, after the destruction of Windwalk Village and Golden Mist Village, the undead here were also transferred, leaving only a miserable ruin.

Dick stretched out his hand and made a stop motion, and everyone sat down in the woods, and the tamed horses seemed to know the severity of the situation, but silently ate the forage taken out by the knights, and regained their strength.

Myra, Dick, Sylvanas, and Liadline sat at the front, eating cold dry food and discussing their next plans.

"As long as you cross the Golden Mist Village tonight, you can reach the river bank of the Wraith Land, opposite is the Yongge Forest in the defensive rune, where there is a portal directly to Silvermoon City, so as long as we get there, we will be safe!"

Sylvanas drew the rough shape of the Wraithlands and the Eternal Song Forest on the ground with a twig, and Dick frowned,

"How far is Golden Mist Village from the Taqueline Battlefield?"

"It takes about 4 hours to march with all our might, and our route is equivalent to walking around the battlefield of Taqueline. ”

Liadline explained to Dick, "Sylvanas is pointing out the right path, and this is enough to throw our pursuers away, this part of the road is difficult to walk, only the true ranger knows the shortcut we have taken." ”

"Hmm..."

Dick nodded, although he still had some doubts about Sylvanas, but in this day and night of escape, he had seen the skills of the ranger general, whether as a sentry or as a sentry, Sylvanas was the best, and she even used four simple traps to kill the three-headed abomination pit in the mud without much effort.

From Dick's point of view, this ranger general should essentially be a hybrid of a shooting hunter and a survival hunter, except that she can't have animal companions, her ability is as stunning as her size.

"My fear now is that Arthas has probably set up a defensive line along the edge of the Wraith Lands, and that he has enough troops for him to squander. ”

Dick took out his pipe and took two puffs before pointing to Sylvanas's simple map,

"You see, there are only 6 bridges across the Great River on the border between the Wraith Land and the Eternal Song Forest, and he only needs to divide a third of his soldiers to block these places tightly, and according to the Ranger General, Haduron and Theron have withdrawn to Quel'Thalas, so even if they receive a call for help, it will take at least 20 minutes to arrive. ”

"No... It won't take that long, we don't even need reinforcements. ”

Sylvanas pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment before she said,

"This is classified information from the Ranger Force, so let's say so, there is a reason why I must ask everyone to go to Golden Mist Village, there is a small dock there, which is a secret stronghold of the Ranger Force, and there are five small ships powered by magic, and once we get there, we are completely sure that we will be able to enter Quel'Thalas. ”

"So, you just need to get to Jinwu Village?"

Myra-Dawnblade's eyes widened with excitement, although as paladins, it was their duty to eradicate evil, but the endless battles of the past few days had already tired everyone, including Dick.

"Yes, as long as you get to Jinwu Village, it's fine, but... The terrain there is a depression, a natural trap, and once Alsace sets up an ambush there, we can't escape!"

Sylvanas's face was solemn, "Although this is a secret that only the upper echelons of the Ranger Force know, I can't be sure if this secret has been exposed, you have to think clearly, this is a big gamble!"

"No... In fact, this is our only chance. ”

Dick glanced at Liadline and breathed a sigh of relief,

"I've been hiding it from everyone before, in fact, our food is no longer enough for half a day, and the war horses and knights are exhausted to the extreme, and the soothing of the holy light also has a limit, if it continues like this, everyone will collapse, so the dock of Jinwu Village is our only chance!"

Dick stood up and shoved the last mouthful of dry food into his mouth,

"Distribute all the holy water, don't be stingy with it, Myra, you take your brothers to protect Liadline and her priests, and send 10 of the less injured brothers to join me in the aftermath, and this time, make sure to send everyone to Quel'Thalas!"

Myra and Liadline both nodded, and Dick finally set his eyes on Sylvanas,

"Madam General, I hope that after you cross the river, you can really fulfill your responsibilities, Quel'Thallas is really not as impregnable as you think, Arthas has not appeared for a day, you must have thought of the worst outcome, once the High Elves are breached, Lordaeron's defense line will also face terrible pressure from the north, we are now a grasshopper on a rope, saving you is equivalent to saving ourselves, I hope you can bring these words to your king, so that he can truly understand what Quel'Thallas is facing now！”

General Ranger closed her eyes, she took a deep breath, and then nodded, and Dick also nodded, looking at Myra and Liadline,

"Then, let's go and rest, and in two hours, let's set off to Jinwu Village!"
