When night fell, perhaps it was covered by dark clouds, and not even a single star could be seen in the night sky.

Piles of bonfires began to burn in the ruins at the top of the snow-capped mountains.

However, there is still a strong smell of blood around it.

The previous battle was so fierce that many people were still in a tense state, but fortunately, there were a number of priests accompanying the team, and they had used the Holy Light Technique to temporarily stabilize the injuries of those wounded, and they were currently being further treated, and some of the minor injuries were even able to continue fighting.

Song Zheng carefully looked at the wounded and captured ogre by the fire.

This is a two-headed ogre, and it is said that the ogres who can grow a second head have very good talents, and most of them will also be good at magic, which is equivalent to some special geniuses among humans, and their status among ogres is most likely not bad.

The men had wanted to interrogate the ogre captive, but soon discovered a serious problem...... None of the people present were able to communicate with the ogre.

Even though these mages, who were known for their erudition, were often multilingual, none understood the language of ogres......

"No one has studied ogres before, not even the elves." Luo Ning was also a little embarrassed by this.

In desperation, everyone could only tie up the ogre and prepare to take it back to Dalaran to study it.

In fact, in the city of Dalaran, the mages collected a lot of biological specimens for research.

However, for the next action plan, everyone has to start thinking carefully.

After all, it is indeed a depressing thing to encounter a single syndicate thief along the way, but to accidentally encounter a horde of ogres.

If it weren't for the large number of mages in the team, and the powerful mages like Gianna and Luo Ning, I'm afraid that this time would have suffered extremely heavy losses.

"Since there are so many ogres on this Broken Ridge, there will probably be no syndicate thieves, and I don't believe those thieves can suppress these ogres." Someone said.

Many people agreed with this remark and demanded to leave the Broken Ridge as soon as possible.

However, in Song Zheng's opinion, the main reason is that everyone is still worried that those ogres will make a comeback, after all, no one knows how many ogres are hiding in the depths of this snowy mountain, and if hundreds of ogres are rushed out again, it is estimated that no one will be able to stop them.

"And where else in the Alterac Mountains is where the syndicate thieves might gather?" Gianna asked the two old mages with some reluctance, and it was clear that she did not want to leave in vain.

"It's not clear, back then, the population of the Alterac Kingdom was already small, and it was scattered in this snowy mountain, only the area around this Broken Ridge was still a city where they lived, and in addition, I can't think of any larger cities where they were." The old mage said helplessly.

Song Zheng recalled it carefully, but he couldn't remember where those syndicate thieves lived in the Alterac Mountains, but there were a large number of syndicate thieves in the Arathi Heights, and some of them even occupied part of Fort Riptide.

However, judging by the time, the syndicate thieves should have entered the Arathi Heights after the destruction of Dunhold Castle.

After discussing for most of the night, everyone finally made a decision to retreat, after all, it was too dangerous to have a group of ogres around them, especially the sudden retreat of those ogres at the last moment left a psychological shadow on everyone...... There must be a powerful leader among those ogres, who can instantly restrain a group of extremely angry ogres, and that leader probably has a lot of intelligence, not as reckless as ordinary ogres.

The power of ogres is already amazing, and it would be terrifying to have intelligence comparable to that of humans!

"Alas, it's a pity that you're about to retreat just after a fight." Lena Imbas looked a little unsatisfied.

Song Zheng had paid attention to her during the battle, and had seen her unleash at least five fireball spells in just a short battle time, which showed that her magic level should have surpassed that of ordinary magic apprentices, and more importantly, she didn't need to chant that complicated and lengthy spell when she released the fireball!

This made Song Zheng secretly quite envious, if he had this kind of magical ability, then he would definitely be able to mix up a lot of experience, and at the same time, he was also more and more interested in the origin of this woman with fiery red hair.

"Be careful, everyone, it seems that an enemy is approaching!" A warning sound sounded at night.

Song Zheng, who was already a little sleepy sitting in front of the bonfire, stood up in an instant, no longer sleepy, he could already hear Wen Lesa's voice!

Winlessa's strength may not be the most powerful here, but as an elven ranger and from the Windranger family, her alertness in the mountains and forests is definitely the strongest.

"The ruins on the left seem to be really human!" Song Zheng's eyesight at night was very good, and he soon discovered the abnormality.

Several illuminations lit up in the night sky almost instantly, illuminating the surrounding ruins as if it were daytime, and it was obvious that the mages would be aware of this simple and practical magic.

"It's an ogre!" In the light, everyone immediately saw the figures looming among the ruins.

Song Zheng couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, because these ogres were already less than a hundred meters away from everyone's position!

"Are these ogres all thieves, and they can sneak up so close to be discovered?!"

In fact, if it weren't for Wen Leisa, who is an elven ranger, to raise the alarm, it is estimated that these ogres would have come to everyone without anyone noticing.

"It's estimated that these ogres have been in this Broken Ridge for a long time, and they are already very familiar with the terrain here, so they have chosen a path to bypass our blind spot." Luo Ning said as he began to cast a spell quickly.

The rest of the people hurriedly took up their weapons to resist, trying to stop the ogre's charge as they did during the day.

However, the ogres also seemed to have learned the lesson of the day's failures, and after being discovered by others, they not only immediately launched a frenzied charge, but also launched a charge from several directions.

Song Zheng's heart sank, he could almost guess the outcome of this battle.

There were obviously quite a few people who had the same mentality as him, especially the children of the nobility, who had begun to retreat almost immediately after seeing the ogres charge, so much so that it greatly hindered the knights from forming defensive formations.

Seeing this, Song Zheng no longer hesitated, and immediately began to retreat in the direction of Gianna, while trying to find Lisa and Bridget in the chaotic crowd.
