Chapter 325: Pursuit
"What's the matter, have you caught the big chief of the tribe!" Reginald Windsol looked at the mage with a depressed face and walked slowly, and quickly asked.
"We've been deceived!" Khadgar shook his head and replied, "The Great Chief of the Tribes has long since left...... Took him to get the artifact from Azeroth, and I don't know where he's going yet! ”
Reginad frowned, and after a moment, he spoke comfortingly, "Anyway, we have annihilated the vast majority of the main force of the orcs...... The army of the Horde has completely collapsed, and this is a good thing for us! ”
"Reginald is right!" The figure of Danas Thorbane also appeared in front of Khadgar: "Yes, they can no longer gather another army!" ”
Khadgar looked at him, the young Alliance commander, his armor had multiple dents, and he had several scars on his arms, legs, and face, but judging by the way he jumped off his horse, he was in normal shape.
"We've got to go after them!" Khadgar said with a solemn face, "They can't be allowed to succeed in their scheme!" ”
Both Reginald and Danas nodded in agreement.
"But we don't know where the tribe is fleeing......" Danas said, a little embarrassed.
"Actually, it's not difficult to analyze......" Khadgar bowed his head:
"First of all, the direction of the black dragon is to the north...... I don't think the orcs will be with the black dragons! Even together, Carlin and Kudran can stop it! ”
"Secondly, further west, there is a rather dangerous swamp, and the orcs should not flee over there, it is a dead end!"
"So...... They could only flee south! ”
Khadgar's eyes sparkled.
"We can catch up with them!"
"Let the griffons scout!" Danas proposed: "Attack as soon as you see them - kill them, or at least delay their movements, and then go back and report to me alive Reginald, and we will follow with ground troops." ”
When the Kudran Hammer and the Kaderos traveled north, they took most of the griffon knights with them, but they kept some to help the expeditionary force scout.
"Bring some of my rangers and scout with them." Aurelia Windranger also walked over and said.
"That's great!" Danas nodded, "That's it, get ready for action!" ”
……
The soldiers of the alliance began to act in an orderly manner.
Some are dealing with orc captives, some are taking over the fortress, and some are preparing to survey and reconnoiter the surrounding area.
Somewhat frustrated, Khadgar found a platform and sat down.
He was in a bad mood.
The body of the ogre ascending the tower was carried away by several Union soldiers and dragged to the crematorium for cremation.
But Khadgar's mind still remembers the image of the clumsy and serious ogre magician......
"It's war!" He muttered to himself, as if he were comforting himself.
"Mr. Khadgar!" A voice came from behind him, almost startling Khadgar.
No foreseen sounds, no warning.
"Miss Aurelia ......," Khadgar stammered, "you really scared me. ”
The female elf barely made any footsteps as she approached.
"What's the matter?" Khadgar asked.
"He took those Hammer Dwarves with him to the north?" Aurelia asked in a low voice.
"Uh...... Yes! Khadgar nodded, not hiding anything.
"To deal with those black dragons?" The elf continued.
"Yes!" Khadgar nodded again.
"Is he crazy...... The leader of those black dragons, but Deathwing, doesn't he know how terrible that monster is? Aurelia's expression was a little anxious and a little worried.
"How could he be Deathwing's opponent...... He's going to die! ”
"I want to ...... Carlin must have his own way! Khadgar explained, "The reason why he dared to chase the black dragon ......"
"Tell me the direction they're heading north, you're sure you know!" The elf asked, staring into Khadgar's eyes.
"I ...... This one...... I can't ......" Khadgar shook his head.
Before he could finish speaking, all of a sudden, Aurelia made a move.
She was athletic, and before Khadgar could react, she was pinned to the ground and choked her neck.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Khadgar......" The elf's voice was a little low, "I don't want to hurt you, but, be sure to tell me the direction they're heading north." ”
"Even if you pass, you can't change anything......"
"At least I won't regret it for life!"
……
"They're about to catch up with us." Hakarin-Deadeye whispered.
Nao Zu's eyes swept over the chief of the Blood Cave Clan, and then said, "Then let's be faster." ”
Hakarin sighed and shook his head.
"This is already the limit of our speed," he pointed out bitterly, "and if we speed up any further, my warriors and their mounts will have to get down before the Alliance soldiers catch up with us." And who's going to protect you then?"
They had been on the trek for almost a week.
The previous few days had been uneventful, and they had entered the Teroka Forest almost effortlessly, where the crooked trees had eased their depression a little.
The Teroka Forest was as dark and gloomy as ever, with a canopy of tall trees overhead, with only a few rays of sunlight to penetrate the dense darkness. The forest floor is covered with black moss and dwarf shrubs, but there is no sign of any vegetation other than that. But after a few days of walking under the scorching sun, it's always nice to have a shadow, and the forest feels so cool and calm.
In the sky, several griffons flew by and spotted them.
Then, a warrior of the Blood Cave Clan, an orc who had been arranged to keep some distance from the large army in order to patrol the rear, ran out of breath to the camp where they had temporarily settled for the night.
"Alliance!" The warrior gasped for breath and sweated from the long run: "They're right behind us!"
"They took the Hellfire Fortress faster than we expected." Guldan said calmly: "It seems that my loyal junior brother ascending the tower has not played the role it should have. ”
Neozu frowned, then glanced at Gul'dan:
"Do you have any ideas?"
