The eerie and dark forest, with its intricate layers of dead branches and vines, almost obscured the sky above the expeditionary force's heads, and the deeper into the woods, the denser the branches became, the sparser the sunlight became, and there were almost only speckled spots of light on the ground.

In order to prevent the large army from scattering, Varian ordered the lumberjacks to open a way to make a walkable path in the Black Forest. The trees that are cut down become the raw material for fires at night. This has the advantage of ensuring the maximum safety of the army, and there is no need to worry about attacks from the depths of the dense forest.

But the downside is that it's too slow...... The speed of the army's march can be said to be turtle speed, a distance that could have been completed in two weeks, at this speed, it is roughly estimated that it will take more than three months. All the chiefs of the officer rank felt impatient.

"Damn, this is the slowest speed I've ever walked, and at this speed, we won't even want to get out of this forest for half a year."

At night, sitting by the campfire, Wen Lesa complained with an unhappy face. Ares knew that Winlessa had only said half of what she had said, and she hadn't said the rest of the sentence, but Ares knew that she wanted to say that if it weren't for the Alliance, the rangers of Quel'Thalas could walk through the woods in a week. But she didn't say it, probably because she knew the general situation, and she didn't want to cause any more trouble. Originally, his subordinates were not in a good mood. If she says that again, I'm afraid she will soon have to part ways with the alliance again. Although they have done so, the alliance at this time is no longer the alliance of the time. So, she held back.

But her second sister, Sylvanas, seemed to have gotten used to it, sitting on the meadow, polishing her cluster of arrows with stones, seemingly unaffected by the environment here. The dead woods were hot and damp, and there were often a few bloody mosquitoes lying on her long bare legs, and she was about to enjoy a great meal when she was quickly slapped by Sylvanas and turned into a pile of corpses and thrown into the fire.

"Sister, is your falcon back?"

Feeling idle and unable to sleep, Winlessa continued to make small talk with her sister. She was concerned about the falcon, and the loyal companion of Sylvanas had taken off a few days earlier to find a way ahead. See if there are any other dangers such as orcs or demons waiting for the Alliance and the Blood Elf Ranger ahead, but after so many days, it still hasn't returned. Winlessa even began to worry about what it would encounter during the flight.

"No, don't worry, in a few days, it will be back. The storm can't stop it, it's not going to happen. ”

Sitting on the meadow, Sylvanas said calmly.

With that, she got up, took out two ropes, and tied a green mesh to the two large trees behind her, and a hammock was formed. Unlike the Alliance soldiers, who slept in tents, Sylvanas and her rangers preferred to hang out among the trees to rest, as the slightest movement in the woods alerted them even while they slept. A pair of spiky elven ears were raised high, keenly catching everything in the air around them.

Wen Leisa, who was bored, soon fell asleep as well.

However, in the second half of the night, a panicked sound of running and fighting in the woods caught the attention of the two ranger generals. Sylvanas was the first to roll over and jump out of the hammock. Her bow was beside her, and she grabbed it in her hand as she got out of bed, her blue eyes staring at the endless silence of the night, searching for the direction where the sound came from.

Soon, Winlessa also got up.

A dozen elven rangers stared at the dark night, and in the distance, some flickering points of light caught Sylvanas's attention. They quietly acted. The other human soldiers in the camp, the dwarven soldiers, lay asleep in their tents. If the elves come to a raid at this time, it is guaranteed that there will be more than a dozen heads in the camp in an instant.

Sylvanas made a gesture to indicate that the others were standing still, and she took seven or eight rangers to the front to check. Including her sister Winlessa, Sylvanas also asks her to stay where she is. She didn't allow her sister to be in danger, until she was sure what danger lurked deep in the forest.

In the dark forest, Sylvanas and the seven Blood Elven Ranger walked forward like a fly, their movements were fast, but they were light, and only the faint sound of straw sandals stepping on the mud was heard, as if it were the sound of the wind.

Soon, Sylvanas spotted some bugs, or rather, aliens...... They are a hundred times larger than ordinary bugs. The rangers were surprised at first by the sight of these monsters, but the excellent military qualities kept everyone calm and composed.

Through the faint light, Sylvanas could see that the insects were chasing not animals, but a group of people......

Mankind...... How can there still be humans here?

Sylvanas muttered inwardly. But the situation did not seem to allow her to observe and think too much. Because as the insects chased them, one by one the humans screamed and fell under the blood basin of the insects.

The ugly mutated bugs pounced on their prey, then stretched out their razor-sharp claws and stabbed into the human's body. Fix their bodies to the ground, then open their disgusting bloody mouths and bite off the necks of the fallen humans!

Sylvanas got a little closer, standing on the tree, and she could see the human attire. That's like...... Some soldiers...... Their armor is so familiar...... In an instant, Sylvanas suddenly realized.

Look again at the leader of this group of human soldiers, a mage. He was standing in the middle of the crowd, attacking with spells to stop the insects from approaching. Those points of light in the forest just now were emitted from this mage. From his staff, to be exact.

It was an ordinary wooden staff, however, the magic arrows shot from it could easily pierce the carapace of the insects, killing them instantly...... But after all, he was alone, and the apprentices around him seemed to be incapable of harming the insects at all.

"Attack, sisters!"

After a brief observation of the situation, Sylvanas gave the order for the entire attack.

As the bowstring shook, seven cold arrows were fired from the darkness in an instant, killing six insects that were chasing the human infantry at once, and two of the arrows hit one insect together.

The sudden attack made the alien swarm a little scrambling, they tried to find the hunter who shot them, but the elven rangers had almost no smell on their bodies, and the insects could not see well at night, so they could only be beaten again and again, and at the same time, Sylvanas and her ranger troops changed their position while shooting, moving and shooting, and the arrows hit, and the human soldiers and mage apprentices standing in the clearing were surprised, and stood in place with a confused face, watching the insects fall in front of them, and let out a disgusting cry, A few bold soldiers stepped up and slashed the bodies of the bugs with their swords to make sure they were really dead.
