Thea watched as the Scarlet Crusader forces faded away in the dust raised, turning into small invisible black dots. She sighed silently.

Someone patted her behind her, and she looked back to see that it was Commander Maxwell standing behind her.

"You're not happy she's gone?" Maxwell stood with his hands behind his back, and Shia's direction was just in time to see the half of him wearing the blindfold, and the emotion in his eyes could not be seen.

"It's a little sad......," Shia replied truthfully.

"There's something I want to talk to you about, can I come and talk to you?"

"Okay."

Walking into the empty conference room, Maxwell locked the door and sat down in his usual place.

"Come, sit!" He gestured to the spot next to him.

Xia sat down and looked across from Maxwell, which was Marlan's seat. Marlan ...... She sighed slightly in mixed emotion.

"In fact, Da Sohan also sent me official documents this time." Maxwell's words interrupted her thoughts. Thea straightened up, gathered her mood and listened to him carefully.

Although this time Demytia could not be blamed for the death of Silver Dawn. But apparently Da Sohan's anger did not abate from this. After all, the existence of Demitia was of great importance to the Scarlet Crusaders.

So, after listening to Maxwell's words one after another, Xia somewhat understood.

"You mean that you want to send an official envoy to Stratholme to meet with General Da Sohan to mediate. Is that so? ”

"Yes, I must be careful with every ally around me until Lord Fording returns. This time the events in Demytia are a lesson. But what happened was what happened, and I had to make amends to it, and not let this become an incentive to further exacerbate the madness of the Scarlet Crusaders. And as a former member of the Scarlet Crusade, I ...... selfishly We don't want to end up with the Scarlet Crusaders. ”

Sia recalled Marlan's radical remarks and nodded in agreement with Maxwell's words.

"However, what makes me hesitate is ...... Sia, it stands to reason that you and Marlan have the best relationship with us right now, and we should send you with us. But...... Your identity...... I'm worried, the base of the Scarlet Crusaders is not as good as here. I can protect you at the Chapel of Light's Wish, but if you reveal your identity in Stratholme, then ...... You may not be able to come back. So, I'm here to ask for your own opinion. ”

“…… I'm going. After a moment of silence, Shia said categorically. Commander Maxwell, I beg you to send me. ”

"You can think about it." Maxwell's one-eyed eyes watched her silently. "Don't rush to give me an answer."

"No, Commander." Thea stood up and gave him a military salute. "This is the result of my careful consideration, and I am more than willing to go to Stratholme, whether for the sake of Silver Dawn or for myself. Trust me! ”

Maxwell also stood up, his large, vice-like hand gripping Chia's shoulder. "Since you have made up your mind, promise me that you must protect yourself. Don't expose it. Otherwise, if anything happens to you, what face will I use to face Lord Fordin. ”

Thea looked up at the rough man in front of him and smiled, "Of course I'll be fine." Rest assured. ”

"I've already arranged the rest of the personnel, the head of the messenger this time is Erigor, you just need to report to him then." Maxwell let go of his hand and sat back in his seat.

"Yes, sir!" Sia saluted again.

When her hand touched the doorknob, she heard Maxwell behind her whisper, "Darien can't come back...... But, at least you, must come back! ”

Thea's hand froze, and she looked back at Maxwell, seeing him motionless with his hands on his head lowered. She almost suspected that it was her own auditory hallucinations.

"I'll be back, sir, I promise." She smiled and opened the door and walked out.

……

"What do you say? Ramsden the Swallower in Stratholme? North, with a bandage on his chest, jumped off the chuang, and the pain caused by the violent movement did not take him to heart at all. His green eyes, which had always been as warm as water, were full of hatred and flames, staring at the soldier in front of him.

"Yes...... Yes, this is the latest information from the Undercity. Lord Varymathas's inner line in the Scarlet Crusade is right in Stratholme's attacking army, and their troops were routed by that monster, so there's no way you're mistaken! ”

North clenched his fists tightly. "I see, did Varimassas say anything else?"

"No, Lord Varimatas just said that the adults should want to know the news......"

"Alright, I see, you go down." Nosk said.

After the soldier retreated with relief, a figure appeared in the shadows of the room.

"You seem excited to hear the name?" The orc's characteristic accent sounded in a low voice.

North looked at his unreleased hand—the hand of the dead. "It's all because of him that I'm going to be like this, how could I forget, how could I forget!"

Even during the time when he was undead and unconscious, he still remembered two names - Sylvanas and Ramsden the Swallower.

The former was his teacher, the object of his deep admiration but did not dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi.

The latter is his enemy, who has leveled his homeland and taken everything from him, and finally turned him into an undead enemy.

"I swore ......," North said, cloaking himself, "no matter where that guy is, as long as I know his whereabouts, I'm going to kill him!" ”

"Aren't you worried that it's going to be a trap? Your body hasn't recovered yet. Luo Jiali said lightly. And in this matter, troops cannot be dispatched! ”

"I have to go! There is no need to send troops. North, who was always in the spring breeze, roared, and he clenched the bow in his hand. It's my own business. With that, he strode out of the room. The scenery in front of you is familiar and unfamiliar. Now, it's the Forsaken's base in the Plaguelands. A group of Forsaken soldiers are working hard to build basic facilities ready to deal with every possible threat. Once upon a time, it was Mareth's farm. North jumped onto his skeletal steed and galloped towards Stratholme. What the human ranger Lord Mares didn't do, let the Queen's warriors, the Blightcasters, finish.

"Queen of Darkness...... Bless me! Lying on his horse, North whispered reverently.

Luo Jiali looked at North's back and gently flicked the mercenary badge on her chest. I wonder if the human named Goering, who she deliberately released the water, lived to send the news back to Stormwind? Who said that mercenaries can only take one commission. Thinking of that simple but well-paid job, Luo Jiali smiled happily.
