"I'm sorry, Mr. Carlin!" As soon as he walked out of the palace, he heard the voice of General Merrick Haas behind him: "His Majesty Pirenod's character has always been like this...... But he didn't mean anything, please forgive me. ”

"Of course!" There seemed to be no anger on Kalin's face at all, but he smiled and said, "I know very well that His Majesty Pirenod has a ...... for the Alliance That one...... Loyal! ”

As he said the word "loyalty," Carlin paused slightly.

General Haas frowned, but didn't say anything about it......

After a moment of silence, he said, "Okay, then I'll take you to inspect the defenses of the Alterac Mountains!" ”

"Okay, thank you!" Carlin nodded, and added, "But first, allow me to call a friend. ”

……

A few minutes later, a tall female High Elf Ranger appeared in front of them.

"This is Miss Terosa, a ranger captain from Quel'Thalas!" Carlin introduced the two to each other, "And this is General Haas, Alterac's lieutenant general. ”

This elven ranger named "Terosa" was originally a subordinate of Aurelia; After delving deep into the Alterac Mountains to find traces of the Frostwolf Clan, Aurelia has her lead a small number of rangers in the service of Karin.

"Hello, beautiful young lady!" General Haas greeted the female ranger warmly.

"Hello, General......" and Terosa reacted, slightly shy.

"By the way, I'm just a mage, General Haas." After the introduction, Carlin continued: "I probably don't know anything about tactics; So I thought it would be more fitting for Miss Tyrosa and you to discuss the defense of Mount Alterac. ”

"This ......," General Haas couldn't help but frown. He didn't know Quel'Thalas's official position, but presumably a captain of more than fifty rangers was obviously not a "big man".

"Besides, she and her rangers are just a group of pioneers; In the near future, close to 500 Ranger will arrive here, and I'm sure they will be a great help to you! Carlin continued.

"Five hundred rangers......" General Haas muttered.

The High Elves' ranger troops, known for their superb archery; And in this treacherous Alterac Mountain, their advantages can be further exploited.

Fifty rangers, perhaps insignificant to Alterac; But five hundred is a good force.

The standing army of the Alterac Kingdom adds up to only about 10,000 people.

"Very good, then on behalf of Alterac, thank you for your assistance, Your ......Excellency," General Haas nodded, and he suddenly remembered something:

"By the way, Lord Carlin, what about you...... What are your plans now? ”

"Me?" A smile appeared on Carlin's lips again: "I would like to visit the nobles of Alterac during this time; I wonder General Haas, can you tell me about it? ”

"I'm honored!" Haas nodded: "In addition to His Majesty's Pirinod family, the great nobles of the kingdom also include the Facurrest family and the Barov family, these three families are the three most prominent families in Alterac......"

The name Falcurrest, which Carlin is a little unfamiliar with, should have been a family that completely disappeared with the fall of the Alterac Kingdom in his previous life; But the Barov family......

Karin asked softly, "May I ask General Haas, is it the Barov family on Keldaron Island?" ”

"Yes, I didn't expect Mr. Carlin to hear about it!" Haas nodded: "The Barov family holds the vast land east of the Alterac Mountains, and they are probably the richest family in the entire Alterac Kingdom; Even in towns outside of Alterac, such as Brill, Talenmere, and Southseas, they have some ownership of land! Duke Alex Barov, the leader of their family! ”

"Okay." Carlin said lightly, "It looks like I might be going to Keldaron Island." ”

……

Snow ...... in Mount Alterac It's almost frozen for thousands of miles, and there are no people.

With the exception of a handful of hunters, the average Alterac rarely sets foot in these lands outside of the map...... After all, in an unfamiliar land, it would be a bit bad if you encountered an avalanche, collapse or something like that.

But today, a coalition formation broke into the snowy mountains of Alterac...... A formation composed almost entirely of elven rangers, most of whom are women. The weather here is harsh, but it's not unbearable for the Far Traveler Rangers, who have always served Quel'Salas in the toughest of terrains.

Aurelia Windranger was among them, and like her men, she was always on the lookout for clues.

She divided her elven rangers into multiple squads and assigned them to different valleys to search for the whereabouts of their targets.

Mount Alterac is huge...... Stretching from north to south, it stretched for thousands of miles, and according to Aurelia's eyesight, perhaps the total area of this mountain range was even larger than the area occupied by the whole of Quel'Thalas.

What Aurelia and her men need to find is a habitat for an orc tribe......

Most of the entire Alterac Mountains are uninhabited areas surrounded by heavy snow and rarely populated; So as Carlin said, if that "frostwolf clan" is hidden in the mountains, there is a certain possibility!

But it's not easy to find it.

It's been almost two weeks...... They still found no trace in the mountains.

Is it really going to be fruitless?

Aurelia doesn't have a lot of bottom in her heart...... For some reason, she was even a little frustrated about this task that might not be able to be completed!

"Miss Aurelia!" Suddenly, a ranger scout hurried over.

"What's wrong?" Aurelia instinctively asked.

"In the valley of Danidal Peak." The Ranger Scout said a little breathlessly, "Someone has found a little trace!" ”

"Quick!" Aurelia urged, "Take me to see it!" ”

……

Danidal Peak is located in the northern part of Mount Alterac, and it took the Ranger Lord about a day to make a detour down the main road to reach the peak.

"What are you talking about?" Aurelia asked.

"Here!" A ranger crouched on the ground while she covered the ground with a cotton robe.

When she opened it again, Aurelia's face turned solemn.

It's a footprint...... Compared to elves and humans, they have a lot of footprints.
