Arthas frowned tightly, staring at the round crystal ball.

Inside the crystal ball, surprising sights flashed by, and Arthas could clearly see that it was a fortress.

Rudimentary, wooden walls, tall towers, heavily armed soldiers were guarding the walls of the fortress - they were not humans, but orcs, humanity's greatest enemies six years ago.

Hundreds of orc warriors are clearly visible in the sight shown by the crystal ball, and as for the rest of the fortress, it is unknown how many orcs exist; The crimson soil of the ground under the fortress reminded Alsace of a place.

"This is in Red Ridge Mountain? Those orcs hid in the Red Ridge Mountains and built a fortress? ”

Arthas asked, puzzled—he remembered that the soil of the Red Ridge Mountains was this red.

"No way. We have towns and garrisons in the Red Ridge Mountains, and it is impossible for the orcs to quietly build such a large fortress there. And there is no such wide open space there. ”

Anduin? Lothar shook her head and denied - there was absolutely no way something like this could happen on Stormwind territory.

"I initially thought it might be Red Ridge Mountain, but ...... There is the sea in the eastern part of this place, and I don't think it will be an inland area like Red Ridge Mountain. ”

Dalein? Prodmore was apparently the first to see the inside of the crystal ball, and he was also a member of Anduin? Lothar's words corroborate this.

"Where is that? King Dalin, how did you get this crystal?

Arthas thought for a moment and asked—if he knew where the crystal came from, it would be helpful to determine the location of these orcs.

"Hmm...... Here's the thing...... A few days ago. Just two days ago, I passed through the waters near the town of South Seas with my fleet to escort a convoy of merchant ships heading from there to the port of Stormwind. Towards the end of the day. An unknown ship passed by the sea near us. ”

"The ship was flying the flag of the Goblin Chamber of Commerce, but as we approached them, the ship sped away. Puzzled, I chased after two ships, sank them with cannons, and found a floating chest in the wreckage. That's what the box contains. ”

Dalein? Prodmore explained.

The rest of the things Alsace can think of - it must be playing for Dalin? The mages of Prodmore have discovered the secret of this crystal ball, Dalin? Prodmore rushed to the kingdom of Lordaeron and told his father about it.

"Didn't you catch a live goblin captive?"

Arthas asked.

"No...... The group of guys seemed to be drowned. Or killed by an explosion...... In short, we only found a few corpses of goblins. ”

Dalein? Proudmoore nodded.

"Anyway! Since the group of orcs is still alive...... We must catch up and kill them all! ”

Even after six years, the hatred has not faded away—exclaimed King Solas of Riptide Castle.

"But we don't know where they are...... Does anyone know that there is still a land with the same red soil as the Red Ridge Mountain? ”

Anduin? Lothar asked with a frown - the red soil was their only clue at this point.

"Those goblins must know something. I think we should ask them. ”

Dalein? Proudmore spoke.

"But...... If the goblins saw our ship and fled...... It is not known why they used this crystal ball to record the traces of those orcs, or if those goblins have anything to do with them...... I think they probably won't, or give us the wrong information. ”

Arthas shook his head and said, "In the town of the South Seas. The goblins helped the orcs land. They might have been in league with the orcs, or they wouldn't have been able to record the activities of the orcs so closely.

"I know of a place with red soil, but ......"

Archmage Antonidas spoke suddenly, but his face was full of doubt.

"Where?"

King Solas hurriedly asked.

"That place...... Not on this continent, but on the other side of the sea...... a place called the Wastelands; I've heard descriptions of it in some of Dalaran's books, the brownish-red soil, the sea, the vast wilderness...... Exactly like the scene around this fortress. It's just that I don't understand...... Why did the orcs go to another continent? Where did they come from? ”

Archmage Antonidas asked, confused.

"It won't be like that. The orcs came from another world, and their Grand Chieftain Orgrim? Doomhammer confessed this before he died. But...... Perhaps the orcs fled to that place after their defeat six years ago. ”

Arthas guessed.

"That's right. There is a possibility. When my brother and your human coalition captured the orc base camp, we found that there were far fewer orcs in the camp, and there were signs of ships anchoring in the nearby port, but we still don't know where the orcs who escaped by boat went. ”

Muradin? Brass chimed in.

"If that's the case...... We must send troops to another continent to wipe out these orcs once and for all, and avenge those who died in the war six years ago. ”

King Solas said through gritted teeth.

"Sending troops to another continent? Is that continent that has been rumored to exist yet confirmed? That's too risky. ”

Anduin? Lothar hesitated for a moment and said--the theory that there is another continent on the other side of the Endless Sea has gradually spread among human society after more and more contact between humans and goblins, but after all, no one has ever been to that place and returned, so no one can tell.

"There's no doubt that the continent does exist, but we don't know if the orcs are really there, and what the goblins are up to...... It's too risky indeed. ”

Arthas shook his head and said—of course he knew that there was indeed a continent on the other side of the Endless Sea, and that continent was called Kalimdor, and that Akmund died on that continent, in a place called Mount Hyjal.

"It's better than this...... We have two countermeasures, at the same time - we will first send messengers to the Treasure Bay and ask what the goblins know; If they refuse to speak, we can use force to persecute them; The second point...... Dalin, you send a reconnaissance fleet from your command to that or something...... Go and see in the Wastelands, if those orcs are really there, it should be easy to find evidence. ”

King Terenus spoke, and as soon as he spoke, he made a final decision. (To be continued......)
