Chapter 33: The Falcon Sentry
Retreating from the Hellfire Fortress to the Blood Elves' station, Sylvanas and Winlesa walked together along the way, seemingly having endless topics to talk about. Indeed, the sisters haven't seen each other for two whole years. They didn't know what Ares was talking about, except that occasionally Winlessa and Sylvanas would smile and turn their heads to look at themselves, which was really embarrassing, like two little beauties plotting against you. Of course, Ares knew that they wouldn't really plot against themselves, at most it was a conversation between women, with a little gossip......
Two days later, the crowd arrived at Sylvanas' secret camp, the Falcon Outpost.
It's a lonely camp at the bottom of a cliff, with a nice surroundings and little vegetation, but it's an oasis in the desert compared to the Hellfire Peninsula. Crucially, the camp is well hidden, with tall trees and bushes forming a visual barrier, and it is difficult to find this camp in this valley without the people in the camp.
In the entire camp, there are about a thousand blood elves, most of whom are hunters and rangers, and a small number of warriors. Seeing Sylvanas return safely, many of the Elven Ranger stood up one after another, looking at them with relief and joy. Clearly, Sylvanas is the leader here. And the people rescued by the Ranger General have become the target of everyone's attention.
To be precise, many Blood Elves still don't like Alliances, especially humans. In their eyes, human pride and arrogance, selfishness and stupidity almost drove them to extinction.
But because of Sylvanas' authority, many blood elves didn't have much to say. Just looked at Ares and his party with not very friendly eyes.
"Sister, how do you know we're trapped?"
In the Windranger tent, Wenlesa was like an excited little girl, holding Sylvanas' hand and asking questions.
"My team and I were out hunting, and we were going to return to camp after the hunt, but as we passed by the outskirts of the orc fortress, my falcon suddenly screamed eagerly. This was not an accident, there was a beast or prey, and the falcon would cry. But this time it was different, I followed the falcon and didn't find anything along the way. Until my falcon brought me directly to that orc fortress. I realized what was happening. ”
Sitting in the tent, Sylvanas entertained Ares and his party. Of course, Ares knew that it was more because of Winlessa's connections......
"Then I and two rangers infiltrated the fortress and saw hundreds of Coalition fools trying to break through the Hellfire defenses from the walls and kill the castle. They didn't know that since the castle was built, no outsider could sneak into the castle from the front. As a result, there are only a few hundred people, and some people dare to do this. ”
Sylvanas said, glancing at Ares, who was sitting across from him. I saw Ares sitting in place, sullen......
"Sylvanas, even if you save us, but if you make fun of the Alliance like this again, I will part ways with you, and the Alliance's army will eventually come again, Ares just wants to take a step ahead and close the Demon Portal!"
Ares was silent, but Arrin, the dwarven companion on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, and the dwarven warrior stood up and said angrily.
"Demon portals? Who told you that there is a demon portal in Hellfire Fortress? ”
Sylvanas returned coldly.
……
The audience fell silent.
"Well, I know, there's a portal there, at the bottom of the Hellfire Fortress. But do you know how many demons are guarding that portal? It was the only passage they had into this world, and it was so well defended that even if an entire army attacked it, it might not be able to take it. ”
After a moment of silence, Sylvanas spoke on her own. Obviously, she knew more about the orc fortress than the soldiers of the Alliance Expeditionary Force. However, this is normal, the Windrangers have been stationed here for two years, and the Alliance Expeditionary Force has only just arrived in the Outlands......
"We'll have a big army coming back."
Drumm said unhappily.
"I'm waiting for that day."
Sylvanas returned with a smile.
"Sister, Ares may have been a little impulsive in his plans, but he definitely had Azeroth in mind."
Seeing Sylvanas's reluctance, even Winlessa couldn't help but speak for Ares.
"Don't be fooled by a man's appearance, I know best what kind of man he is."
In front of everyone's eyes, Sylvanas raised the corners of her mouth and said with a wicked smile. At this moment, everyone immediately showed a look of surprise, when did Sylvanas know so much about their Great Lord? Could it be that they still have a leg in private? Even the expressions of the dwarves have changed a little. There was a sudden change in the style of painting at the scene......
"Sylvanas, that's enough! Getting to the point! ”
At this point, Ares finally couldn't help it. Valeera, in particular, had already cast a surprised gaze. The Blood Elf Thief may be thinking to himself - yes, you Ares, how many women have you been in a relationship with? Gianna counts as one, I count as one, so what's the matter with the Windranger in front of you? No wonder she would give her life to save you......
"The point is that we must wait until the main forces of the Alliance arrive before we can take that fortress. The fortress of Hellfire is stronger than you can imagine. ”
Sylvanas said calmly.
……
At night, the outer sky is so beautiful, the starry sky is like a painting, and the stars are suspended in the night sky, slowly spinning, as if you can take them off as soon as you reach out.
"The real starry sky is so beautiful."
In the darkness of the night, Sylvanas came from behind and whispered.
"Broken beauty."
Hearing that it was Sylvanas's voice, Ares replied with emotion without turning his head. A pun, the Windranger has long been insightful. Yes, the outland sky is so beautiful because it is broken. is also broken, and the relationship between the two...... After so much, Ares is no longer the Ares of the past, and the dream of Quel'Salas can never go back.
"Ares, tell me, what have you been through all these years, if you guessed correctly, the assassin next to you today is your wife?"
Sylvanas walked over and stood beside Ares and asked.
"My wife? Oh no, we didn't have an official wedding. In fact, I still don't know what kind of feelings I have for her. Maybe it's because you need someone to accompany you and comfort you. In short, Valera is a very poor child, and I am about the same. Maybe it's the same chance that brings us together. But husband and wife, not yet. ”
Ares replied calmly. Back then, he and Sylvanas almost got together, but at the last moment, the Death Knight Arthas led the Scourge Legion and bulldozed Silvermoon City. The short-lived relationship between himself and Sylvanas was also declared over......
