Chapter 297: Bad News
"Near the Gate of Darkness, the arcane energy that overflows is three times higher than before?" Danas Tolbane subconsciously raised his voice.
"That's right!" Khadgar nodded, then explained:
"Yesterday afternoon, our test results were like this; But this morning, it's back to normal! ”
Danaston frowned, he was a good warrior, but apparently he didn't know anything about magic.
"There are two possibilities!" "The first one, it's just an accident, it could be that we made a mistake in the test, or that something strange was something we didn't understand yet......
"And what about the second one?" Danas asked with a grim expression.
"On the other side of the Dark Gate, there's a situation!" Khadgar whispered.
"That would be very bad news!" Danas stood up suddenly, "We must tell King Varian of the Stormwind Kingdom and Marshal Uther of the Lordaeron Kingdom as soon as possible...... Let them quickly send out a large army. If the Horde passes through the Dark Gate again, the Watchgate will not be able to stop them! ”
"There's no hurry." Khadgar pondered for a moment and shook his head: "We can't just rely on this little sign to let the Alliance's army, from the north to the southernmost point of the continent, ......"
"We need to keep watching for a while......," Khadgar continued, after a pause.
"Then I'll leave it to you mages!" Danas patted Khadgar on the shoulder: "I'll go to the defensive line to take a look, remind those soldiers to get ready for battle...... Otherwise, if the tribe does pass through the Dark Gate again, they will still be in the dark! ”
Khadgar nodded.
Danas left, and Khadgar sat back at his desk.
His intuition told him that, although it was a very small sign, it gave people an extremely strong sense of crisis.
Khadgar took out a quill pen and he was going to write two letters.
one to Dalaran's mentor Antonidas, and one to Kel'thugad and Karin, near Grimbaatar; Tell them about the strange appearance of the Cursed Lands.
……
Dalaran, Violet Castle.
Four archmages stood at the very top of the magic city, seated in their seats.
Four members of the six-member council gathered here.
Antonidas, Kael'tas, Modra, and Derlandon.
The remaining two, Kel'thugad, who are now in Naxxamath, were unable to return for the meeting; And Crassus didn't know what was going on, and he didn't appear for a long time.
"This is a letter from Khadgar of Watchcastle to me!" Antonidas took out a letter that had been strictly sealed with magic:
"My student told me that he suddenly detected a large fluctuation in arcane energy near the Dark Gate, but soon the fluctuation disappeared; He suspected that it was on the other side of the Dark Gate, and the tribe might have some plans! ”
With Antonidas's words, the faces of the other three mages quickly became solemn.
"The comeback of the Horde?" Modra said with a grim face, "This is terrible news! ”
"It's just a possibility!" Antonidas replied, "That's what Khadgar wrote in his letter...... After all, we haven't studied the structure of the Dark Gate clearly, and the sudden fluctuation of arcane energy could also be an accident. ”
"It is indeed a bit arbitrary to conclude the movements of the tribe based on such a small message!" Archmage Derlandon spoke.
He was a very urbane middle-aged man, and although he had the qualifications to wear gray robes, he had never participated in any battles, and was more inclined to study.
"I've studied the clan composition of the orcs carefully, and I can guess a little bit about their current situation. Previously, in the final stages of the Second War, the orc army was close to collapse and summoned almost all of its forces from their home planet......"
Durandon paused for a moment, as if considering his words, before he continued:
"Obviously, some of these best orc warriors have been killed by us, some have been captured, and a very small number have wandered in the hidden places of the continent...... Of the orcs who remained on the home planet, except for a very small number of those who escaped through the dark gate, only some of them were old, weak, sick and disabled! ”
Derlandon concluded: "In my personal opinion, it has only been more than a year since the Second Great War, and the current tribe, the remnants of the forces, have no way to confront the Alliance; Even if they did open the door of darkness again, they would be killing themselves. ”
What Drandon said is well-founded, and he is also an expert in this area and can be trusted.
"But you can't leave it alone!" Kael'thas - Prince of the Sunstrider stood up: "Maybe we should make some other plans!" ”
"Personally, I'm willing to go to the Cursed Lands myself to prevent the unexpected from happening!" Kael'thas said calmly.
……
"Khadgar's letter?" Karin stepped into Naxxamasri's and Kel'thugad's room, and said with a look of surprise, "This kid actually writes to us?" ”
For more than a year, Khadgar, who had gone to the Watch Fort, had disappeared from the world, and had received almost no news about him.
Khadgar's letter mentions ...... "Kel'thugad's face was very serious: "He said that the Dark Gate was abnormal, and the tribe might ......"
"Dark Gate, strange?" Kalin couldn't help but interrupt Kel'thugad, then picked up the letter on the table and began to read it carefully.
It was only a few minutes before he put the letter down again, but the grim expression on his face remained.
So fast......
Is the Horde about to open the portal again?
Carlin couldn't help but fall into thought.
According to the memories of the previous life, this third invasion of the tribe was under the leadership of Naozu......
After attracting the attention of the Alliance's forces, they sent elite troops and stole the four artifacts of the Staff of Sargeras, the Book of Medivan, the Eye of Dalaran, and the Skull of Gul'dan.
With the help of these four artifacts, they try to open a portal to other worlds and leave Draenor.
However, the "Children of Lothar" who stormed the Dark Gate crushed their plans at the Dark Temple at the last moment......
Stopping the Horde's actions seems simple; The current tribe is very weak and seriously underarmed, and it will not be an opponent of the alliance at all.
Moreover, among the four artifacts, the Book of Medivan and the Eye of Dalaran are in his own hands, which is also unknown to the tribe.
So their plan is almost impossible to succeed.
But what Carlin is thinking about is, should he take this opportunity to solve the little problems in the future once and for all?
For example, find an opportunity to kill Naozu?
