In the silver pine forest, the quiet night, the silent woodland, there are two strange moons hanging in the sky, one emits a bright white light, and is called the White Lady, and the other is a little smaller, emits a faint blue light, and is called the Blue Child.

Lying on the hillside of a makeshift rest, looking at the beautiful starry sky, Ares and Gianna once again talked about the world, about the country.

"Kael'thas is the prince of the Kingdom of Quel'Salas, where did he go?"

Lying on the soft meadow, Ares asked curiously.

After the destruction of Quel'Thalas, he returned home, to his homeland, not to his kingdom, which no longer exists, and Kyle went back to find his people and rebuild his homeland. But I doubt he will be able to withstand such a blow. ”

Like Ares, Gianna lay on the soft meadows of the hillside, staring at the starry sky, and replied calmly. She didn't carry much luggage, and the cloak that she had draped behind her during the day was now used as a blanket over her body. But she still can't hide her soft figure. Ares said, his eyes always unconsciously staring at Gianna's undulating breasts. Thinking that back then, when he saw Sylvanas like this, Ares couldn't help but despise himself a little......

"Death Marks."

Speaking of Quel'Thalas, Ares couldn't help but sigh.

"What?"

"Oh, nothing, I just remember the days when I was in Quel'Thalas."

"Have you been there?"

Gianna was clearly curious about Ares' experience.

"Yes, and he also participated in the defense of Silvermoon City."

"And what are the death marks you are talking about?"

Gianna said, turning her face sideways, focusing on Ares. Her eyes were on Ares' face, which made Ares feel a little uncomfortable.

"It was a dark and rancid polluted belt, and Arthas led the Scourge Legion on a rampant journey, withering vegetation and life withering everywhere he went, and even rivers and streams were polluted, forming a terrible plague corridor from Weatherwind to Silvermoon City, which the elves of Quel'Thalas called the Death Mark."

Under Gianna's curious gaze, Ares spoke eloquently. Ares noticed that when he talked about Arthas, Gianna's face had obviously turned bad, and there was a sweet memory between them, but later the second fool of Arthas slaughtered Stansom, and Gianna and Uther parted with Prince Lordaeron, and it was also the last time that Arthas and Gianna met as paladins. When they met again, it was probably the later battle of Dalaran, and Ares guessed that Gianna must have seen something that day. It was a knot in her heart that she couldn't untie.

"It's terrifying indeed, and it's no wonder that Kael'thas named the remnants of Quel'Thalas the Blood Elves. He wanted his people to remember the catastrophe, the lesson of blood. ”

Gianna sighed and said, turning her gaze to the sky, the white silver moon. Perhaps, at this time, only the moon can hold her endless sorrow.

Ares also learns about Quel'Salas's subsequent developments from the conversation. It seems that the High Elves will inevitably change their names to the Blood Elves. Like the Scarlet Crusaders, they vowed to remember the lesson of the blood. However, revenge often makes people lose their minds, just like Alsace in the past......

The Silver Pine Forest, like the Tifaris Woodlands, was shrouded in clouds and mist for many years, and along the way, the dripping rain annoyed Ares and his party, which meant that the clothes could barely be dried, and their bodies were wet for a long time. Ares wondered why people here didn't get rheumatism. Fortunately, with Gianna's company, the journey was not too boring. On the fifth day, the team arrived at the outer gate of Gilneth, an abandoned human gate, with a broken wall that tells the story of what had happened here. It seems that King Jean of Gilneys abandoned the Silverpine Forest early on, and the Greymane Wall almost completely isolated Gilneth from the outside world.

However, it was at this time that the unfortunate news came from the north that a new plague had appeared in the monastery, and dozens of people had already been infected with the plague, and Whitemane had put the patients in emergency isolation. All refugees were forbidden to enter the monastery.

A week had passed since the news reached Ares, who guessed that the number of patients in the monastery must have increased considerably.

"High Lord?"

The Scarlet Crusader's paladin Hasar asked respectfully. The message was delivered to Ares through his hand, and before leaving, the Grand Attorney Whitemane told him that he must deliver the letter to Ares himself, and that he would do everything possible to persuade him to return. Of course, without Whitemayne to say, Ares also knew that he had to go back now, even if the kingdom of Gilneth was in front of him, but the Scarlet Abbey was his home base, and there were nearly a thousand Scarlet Crusader soldiers there, and if they were all infected with the plague, then there would be no hope for the refugees in the Tifaris Woodlands.

"I know, let's go back, let's go now. The plague is our worst enemy, Gilneth and I will come back again. ”

Glancing at the endless darkness of the woods at the end of the road, Ares gritted his teeth and said resentfully. I didn't expect to reach an alliance with the Kingdom of Gilneth and unite the front, and along the way, I would suffer so many setbacks. This has not even reached the foot of the high wall of Greyman, and when it gets there, it is not clear whether it can get in or not. In this day and age, it's always not easy to do something.

Ares said to the paladin Hasar. At the same time, she turned her eyes to look at Gianna, obviously, she didn't have to go to this troubled water.

Gianna's answer, however, pleased Ares.

"I'm going with you, the plague is our common enemy, in Stratholme, in Andohar, Uther and I have investigated the plague, maybe with experience, I can help you a little."

Gianna said seriously.

"But it's dangerous, you know, even if a paladin is infected with the plague, there will be no cure."

Ares said sincerely, but in his heart he hoped that Gianna would go with him.

"I know, but Ares, as you said, the Scourge army is coming, everyone should unite against the Scourge and evil, if the Scarlet Crusade falls, more people will suffer, they will be mutilated by the undead. I can't sit idly by. In the past, I was prejudiced against the Scarlet Crusaders as fanatical, irrational, and immoral. Today, however, I see a crusade of pure faith, a crusade of selfless devotion. ”

"That's the credit of our High Lord. It was he who purified the organization little by little. ”

As soon as Gianna's words fell, Drumm came with a divine assist, instantly raising Ares' image by several levels. You can see that there is a little more appreciation and trust in Gianna's eyes......
