The flames burned brightly, and the dimly lit camp was so quiet in the night that it was barely audible except for the hollow crackling of burning. The young female mage slowly walked up to the high platform at the camp gate, and the soldiers standing guard saluted sideways, and after smiling and saluting, she looked at the suffocating smell of the "river of magma" not far away with a serious gaze.

Of course, it was something more terrifying than lava, full of sulfur and sweltering heat, and similarly, the smell of something more disgusting than rotten eggs roamed the air, so that many of the soldiers in the camp had to cover their mouths and noses with specially treated rags from the clergy. The heat wave blew with gusts of wind, instantly making the young mage feel extremely oppressed, and her golden hair began to curl and shrink slightly as if it had been drained by something.

The female mage frowned, she didn't know about the demon's situation, but in fact, after fighting the demon's army a few times, she realized that just like the catastrophic undead came to destroy the living, the demons couldn't communicate with each other at all, and those monsters were completely here to destroy the world!

Evil fires patrol the territory created by the demons, and the demons are "playing" around the bones of some dead animal, and interspersed with Sartre, succubus, hellfire, hellhounds, doomsday guards, and other monsters that once only appeared in the Dalaran Secret Codex, they are even more vigilant and will not let the human army pass through this place easily.

The mage was full of hatred and volunteered to lead the lead to find the demonic Gianna Proudmoor, who was already the uncrowned lord of Theramore, at least as Kul Tiras recognized, despite not being officially canonized by Lordaeron.

The soldiers of Theramore were indeed very brave, and thanks to Gianna's bold pioneering efforts, and the training of the elite sent by Kurtilas to help Her Highness the Princess, many of the exiles of Lordaeron took up arms again to defend their new homeland. These people, who originally belonged to the militia, quickly accumulated a lot of actual combat experience during this period of continuous training and fighting against those monsters in the field when opening up new lands, which made them grow up very quickly.

Now, after the soldiers of Theramore have experienced the battle with the undead and demons, the survivors who have been tested by the war seem to have passed the transformation and completely transformed into skilled soldiers, many of them are full of hatred for the undead, grief for the destruction of their homes, and anger at the tragic death of their relatives and friends, so that these small armies have unprecedented combat effectiveness in front of the undead army that is several times or even more than ten times their number!

The undead who had wandered to Theramore had been sunk by the navy of Kurtiras from the broken ships and planks before they even set foot on the land of Theramore, and even if they were lucky enough to make it ashore, they would be torn to pieces by the vengeful Theramore army and thrown back into the sea to feed the fish.

It is precisely because of this record that Gianna decided not to rely on the strength of Kurtiras, and took on the responsibility of the vanguard alone, after all, there are still many troubles to be solved within Kurtilas, and she even heard that a team of gnomes are going to her homeland to find a lost mechanical kingdom......

"Is there trouble everywhere...... Gianna whispered to herself, then she shook her head, putting aside these things that had nothing to do with this war for a moment, she was now the commander of an army, and she was responsible not only to herself, but also to the people who served her as her lord.

The Theramore vanguard army was now chasing the demon army that was marching north from the northern end of the Dust Swamp and the junction of the Barrens, but after chasing here, there was a demon army that did not seem to intend to continue north, and they stopped at the junction of the two regions, occupying the advantageous altitude terrain, and stuck the vanguard army's approach.

And according to the information that Gianna obtained, this army of demons and undead is not the main force at all, but it is not easy to deal with, without the cover of the naval guns of the Kurtilas navy, although the soldiers under Gianna's command are very brave, the number of casualties is not low, plus everything is hastily damaged in Theramore, and the food and supplies stored are not very able to support them to go too far.

This is Gianna's biggest headache now, when she decided to work with the sentinels to destroy the demons and undead along the way, but the reality is that when the sentinels learned that the number of demons that had landed and surged in the direction of Aishara had surged, the jungle and chase sentinels quickly obeyed their general's orders, and after informing the friendly forces, they immediately abandoned the outlying stronghold and quickly returned to the Ashenvale defense line.

This has led to the current position of the Theramore Vanguard Army being a little awkward, stuck in this place for two days. And Gianna hadn't even been able to discuss with her new ally about keeping the food supplies they couldn't take with them for her own use, and the Night Elves were too quick to arrive and leave...... Although Gianna's level can clearly know the next movement of the coalition forces, and the news of the imminent arrival of reinforcements and reinforcements, it is very debatable how long this "immediately" will be.

Because since she led the army to fight, she has known that any accident can really happen when marching into battle, and such accidents are often uncontrollable, and it will inevitably lead to the delay of some operations.

For example, because the road ahead has become muddy due to the heavy rain of the previous day, it is not only difficult for people to walk on it, but also the movement of pack animals such as transport vehicles and horses is extremely difficult, which can lead to uncontrollable delays, or the same heavy rain causes a dam upstream to burst and destroy the necessary bridge on the marching road, or even a flood directly destroys an entire army, or the same heavy rain can quickly revive some dangerous plants that have withered and lead to non-combat during the march

It is more likely that the slippery ground caused by heavy rain will not only slow down the march, but also cause some unlucky people with unstable soles to fall and be seriously injured, or the preparations for rain and moisture are not ready, and the food and supplies will be wet and damp due to heavy rain and need to be dealt with urgently after the clearing...... Too many accidents could have happened, so now she knew that she would never let her guard down until she saw the reinforcements and supplies arrive.

Gianna also dismissed the guards and returned to her tent after checking the camp, and although it was late at night, she was completely sleepy. The current location of the Theramore Vanguard can be said to be completely on the outermost part, with Mount Hyjal being the gathering place of the Night Elves, east of Hyjal with Eshara to the south, Ashenvale to the south, and Feywood Forest to the west......

"If I were the commander of the demons...... Gianna began to think about the general strategic direction, although the current information was not satisfactory, and even the traces of those high demons were not found, but not only Gianna, but other people with brains knew that those high demons must be lurking, ready to find an opportunity to strike a fatal blow against the hole in the night elves' defensive line.

Gianna caressed the Staff of Antonidas, which she had treasured so well, a gift from her mentor to her as an apprentice, hoping that her mentor's teachings and wisdom would help her out of this predicament...... So how should the demon create a defensive hole? Because the terrain of Winterspring Valley cannot pass through the army well, it can only be copied by three sides, two of which are feints, and one side is the direction of the main attack, so that you can seize the loophole and storm to directly break through the defense line and climb Mount Hajgal?

......

While the Theramore Vanguard Army was unable to attack effectively due to a short period of fatigue due to lack of supplies and new recruits, Thrall in Orgrimmar was also suffering from the sudden emergence of demons and dead spirits on the continent.

"Isn't there any news from Grom and his Warsong Clan?"

"No, our wolf cavalry can't get close to the Greyvale Forest, and the battle lines of the Night Elves and Demon Canines have blocked all the right paths. ”

Answering Thrall's questions was Varoksa Rufar, once the lieutenant of Orgrim's Hammer of Destruction, but now Thrall's confidant and the overseer of the Kukaron Guard, one of the most capable troops being formed by the new orcs.

And Thrall, the new chief who reunited the orcs and fled to Kalimdor to establish a new territory, was planning for the future in order to secure a place to live, when the undead and demons arrived......

The orcs, for all their strength, bravery, and fighting spirit, have been lured and enslaved by the evil demons of the Burning Legion, and Neozu and Gul'dan are two traitors and accomplices......!

Then the orcs came to the New World, and under the influence of Manolos' demonic blood, these raging orcs quickly wiped out the first human force in their way, and slaughtered all the humans they could see...... They then engaged in a long war with the alliance of human nations......

The war ended in the Horde's defeat, and Thrall rescued the captured Orgrim, and the two of them worked with their followers to save the orcs from being held in an orc asylum, and in the process, Orgrim's Hammer of Destruction was killed, while Grom's Hellroar and his Warsong clan joined in the cause of freeing the orcs.

Eventually, Thrall followed the guidance of the prophet Medivan, evaded the Lordaeron and crossed the Endless Sea to the ancient continent of Kalimdor to establish a new home......

This should have been a good start, but since the past few days, there have been a steady stream of wolf cavalry patrols to find traces of demons, and if this is only to warn the tribal chieftain who has been single-handedly raised by the human nobles according to the general's specifications, then it was even earlier that Grom and his Warsong clan had annoyed the Night Elves who inhabited the forests of the Ash Valley.

Now that the orcs are no longer enslaved by demons, and they no longer possess the power that they feel they can destroy everything, it would be extremely unwise for Orgrimmar to clash with the most powerful natives in the region shortly after it was founded! Of course, Thrall had heard these things from the tribe's friends Minotaurs and Trolls, and although he hadn't seen the Night Elves himself, the Night Elves would not be far less powerful if they were able to make the two new races join the tribe so valued.

So after almost two weeks of losing contact with Grom and his clan, Sal felt bad, and combined with the demons that had now popped up, it gave him a taste of conspiracy, which the demons liked to do the tricks the most.

"Hmm, what's wrong Varok, you seem to have something to say?" Sal noticed that his cronies hesitated.

"That's right, chief, I feel that bloodthirsty ** in me has a tendency to recur again......"

"What......? No, let me see!" Varok's words surprised Sal, as the strongest shaman of the new tribe, he immediately examined his lieutenant in detail, and a soft green light appeared in Thrall's palm, and then pressed against Varok's chest, who did not put up any resistance and left Thrall to do it.

Because Varok knew that he had killed many innocent lives under the influence and drive of demonic blood, he refused to use his enslavement and control as an excuse to exonerate himself, because, like many orcs, he longed for it

Those who have greater power and voluntarily drink the blood of demons.

But what happened next made the old orc regret it, it was the demon's blood he drank and the killing he himself was under the control of the demon's blood......

Orcs were fond of pork, but after being freed from the curse of demonic blood, the sounds they heard when they killed pigs would evoke the conscience of many orcs like Varok, who would recall the miserable cries and screams of fear they heard during the slaughter of the old and weak women and children of the Draenei......

This troubled caused Varok to no longer eat pork, but this did not mean that he would become a good gentleman or even join any church, and live a life of prayer and supplication for salvation to God every day. Varok had never been afraid of war, nor would he hesitate to defend his people and tribes, but his refusal to become a warmaker again was similar to Thrall's philosophy, which was why he was so dedicated to assisting the young orc chieftain.

Now, having crossed west to Kalimdor and established a new home, the Orc Overseer is within his power to control the warlike orcs, both in action and in words, trying to stop the young orcs who clamored all day long to support the Warsong Clan and take out the Night Elves and the like.

But today, when he felt the power in his body that had once intoxicated him and made him feel painful, he even had the idea of asking Sal to call someone to knock him out and tie him up.

Thrall's diagnosis was soon over, and the orc chief grimaced and gritted his teeth, "It's a sign that the demon's blood is about to be revived......!"

Sal's words made Varok stunned for a moment, and then realized that those orcs who had drunk the blood of demons would have some kind of attraction to each other, and when the most powerful of them "awakened" this power again, the other orcs would also faintly begin to desire to regain that feeling of dominating the world!

This feeling is like Durotal, who was still hot one second, and the next second he was thrown into the sea of ice in Northrend, and Varok was now trembling, and he didn't know if it was because of anger or because he was enduring the bloodthirsty rage in his body, which made Sal on the side feel a little helpless.

The minotaur representatives on the side and Woking, the leader of the dark spear trolls, looked at each other, they felt strange, they didn't know that the orcs still had this kind of, but because of Thrall's wisdom and the strength and friendliness of the new orcs, they chose to huddle together in the cruel environment of Kalimdor.

"Anyway, tie me up first!" Warok yelled, startling the guards outside the chamber.

In the end, in desperation, and under the appeasement of Varok himself, those orcs who were affected by bloodthirsty impulses like Varok were tied up by their own people and guarded strictly.

But both Thrall and Wojin felt that this was a palliative solution, and the lack of intelligence was in a dilemma as the demons multiplied and the road to Ashenvale blocked......

......

On the other side, the first echelon of the main force sent by Anaheim City is also about to reach Kalimdo.

According to the conclusion of the meeting, the composition of this force is relatively biased, with an army of 5,000 people, consisting of 500 official paladins and 1,000 probationary paladins including blood elves, 1,500 Lordaeron cavalry, 1,000 rangers, 500 mages and 500 auxiliaries.

At their command was Baron Anaheim. After Edlan led the army to go on the expedition, Anaheim City was still divided into three autonomous regions, the blood elves and Dalaran took care of their own, and everyone negotiated and resolved if necessary, Edwin Van Cleef used his performance in exchange for the trust of a certain traverser, Edlan gave him almost inferior to the lord's power, and was fully responsible for the development of the territory when the lord was away, but as far as the current situation is concerned, Edwin is more in the category of how to deal with the daily trivial affairs of the territory, and development or something, there is no talk at all.

Originally, Sylvanas wanted to take over the work of this striker, but the top brass did not agree, because they all knew that this vanguard army had a heavy task, and they did not wait for the simple task of waiting for the follow-up troops to arrive when they arrived in Theramore, but waited for the opportunity after figuring out the information, and used the high-speed movement of the cavalry to create fighters, which was a tactical mode that Sylvanas was not familiar with, so she complained to Edlan all the way after her request was rejected.

It seems that this ranger general has a bit of a grudge against the undead......

Due to the lack of horses, and in order to reduce the exposure of weaknesses in the configuration of the troops, all members of this vanguard army that were given high hopes were skilled horsemen, including those mages and auxiliaries. Then the commander of this interracial and heavy responsibility force can only be handed over to Adelan himself.

Edlan also agreed to everyone's recommendation, although it was dangerous, but before leaving, he had already heard from the Theramore side, Gianna had already set out for the expedition, which made Adelane feel a sense of urgency, he felt that if he continued to grind, he was afraid that the butterfly effect he brought would change a lot of things that should not be changed, so he had to rush over as soon as possible.

So Adelan led his army into battle under the resentful gaze of Lisa Whitemayne, because in her opinion, her courtship had been "rejected" again, and the bastard, as if he thought she was unattractive, would rather run away from her with his paladins, who were almost all female blood elves, and gave her a nonsense of "let's talk about this when the world is peaceful......

World peace?At a time when the threat of demons is growing and the scourge of the undead is rampant, this is not even a promise......
