"Listen, Valeera, it's not your job at all, there are so many Stalkers in Stormwind's army, there's no need for you to risk it yourself. Hellfire Citadel is no ordinary castle, with countless orc warriors and warlocks, and perhaps a plethora of traps and traps, and the Eye of the Devil will spot any creature that comes its way, and even if you're a stalker, you won't be able to escape its glances; And those hellhounds, relying not on sight, but on smell, and its terrifying ability to smell is a stalker's nightmare. It's a very dangerous mission, and I don't want you to risk it......"

In the barracks, Ares said to Valilla with concern, and she could see that Valeera finally showed a smile that she had not seen in a long time. She snuggled into Ares's arms and whispered—

"I thought you had forgotten about your ability to care about me."

"How could it be ......?"

Ares lowered his head, looked at Valeera in his arms, and said guiltily. Indeed, compared to Gianna, he still gave Valera too little care, just like he told Sylvanas that day, what brought him and Valera together, sometimes even Ares himself didn't know. Maybe it's just the same experience that prompts the two to sympathize with each other, or maybe it's just because they need companionship and comfort after separating from Gianna? Regardless, looking at Valeera's beautiful eyes, Ares always felt guilty from time to time.

Ares thought, but Valera didn't have that mixed feelings.

"Anyway, it feels good to have your care again."

As she spoke, she broke free from Ares' arms. Valera seems to have everything in place. Indeed, before Ares came in, she had sharpened her Hidden Blade and dagger, and checked all the equipment, combat equipment, escape equipment, and various potions and poison fog bombs. As Ares said, it was a dangerous operation, and she was ready for anything.

"Get down to business, my dear, don't go, don't go to the Hellfire Fortress, it's a forbidden place, don't go."

Ares got up, walked over, put his arm around Valeera's waist, and repeated. At the same time, he also asked himself why he always met such a stubborn woman, Gianna was like this, and Valera was the same. The two of them...... Ares sighed.

"This team needs an experienced captain to lead the team, and I am the captain who leads the team."

Valera felt a pang of satisfaction at Ares' concern, but she then recovered from the taste of happiness, broke free from Ares's embrace, and whispered. The scene reminded Ares of Gianna back then, so different, yet so similar......

Damn it......

Ares cursed from his heart. But Valeera had already made up her mind. She looked confident, confident in her skills and escape skills.

……

"Oh...... No...... You tap ...... This beast ......"

Unable to convince Valeera, Ares said a final goodbye to Valilla during the night. Under the illumination of the Holy Light Crystal, Valeera's holy body was once again perfectly displayed in front of Ares. Then, under the primal impulse, Ares felt that he had lost his mind again, and wildly possessed her, from her forehead to her collarbone, from the peaks to the jungle, leaving traces of her ghost animals along the way......

……

At dawn, when Valera walked out of the barracks, the Alliance's team of Stalkers was already on standby.

"Protect yourself, my friends, my comrades, don't go deeper if you're not sure, without intelligence, the army of Stormwind can bulldoze this fortress."

Varian walked over, looked at Valeera, and said with a heavy heart. They used to be the best teammates in the arena, slaying countless opponents together, and, together, escaping Kalimdor and slaying the Black Dragon together. In Varian's shoes, he didn't want Valilla to take any chances. However, the Blood Elf Thieves had already made up her mind that she had to do something in order to reduce the casualties of the coalition forces.

"I know, I'll do what I can."

Valera said. Her gaze was full of determination and determination. In fact, Varian also knew that Valilla was indeed the most suitable person for this operation...... She has a wealth of stealth and combat experience to lead this team and deliver vital intelligence to the Coalition forces. It's just that, like Ares, Varian is worried about her safety.

"Browl, protect her."

Varian continued.

"I will, don't worry, Lagash."

The druid barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

"It's too late to turn back, Donald will take your place in the Hellfire Fortress."

Eventually, Valera walked up to Ares. They were close together like lovers, and Ares spent his last days trying to persuade his elven lover.

This scene made Sylvanas feel a tingle in her heart, and she turned away, awkwardly avoiding the affectionate vein between Ares and Valeera.

"You should advise me to enter the castle cautiously and lead this team to complete the task perfectly, instead of persuading me to give up."

Valeera smiled. She took Ares' hand and pressed it against her face - "Trust me, I will make it, waiting for me outside the city, I promise you, after this mission is completed, I will no longer be a stalker, and I will not venture anywhere again." ”

With that, Valera pulled away Ares's hand and resolutely led the team in the direction of the Hellfire Fortress, and gradually, the figures of the stalkers disappeared into the early morning light......

As soon as Valilla walked on the front foot, Varian and the Alliance's generals began to put the finishing touches on the Hellfire Fortress. What kind of unexpected situations are encountered, and what methods should be used to deal with them. Just like a sand table game, everyone is conducting offensive and defensive drills, the tactics and means that evil orcs and demons may use, the threat from the air and the ground, and even from the underground, they all think of it, although the orcs are not zerg, but the use of tunnels and various tunnels cannot be ruled out.

Also, in case of no information, how to storm the castle, Varian and Ares prepared several plans, including griffon air raids, capturing the highest point, air throwing, sending an elite team to air drop, forcibly opening the city gate from the inside, and so on. The most admired is the dwarven artillery tactics, which use the advantage of the dwarven artillery to shoot from a distance to destroy the gates of the Hellfire Fortress, and then the griffin troops cover the land forces of the alliance in the air to fight into the city and conquer the entire castle from the inside.
