【11】Twilight of the Black Coast (Guardian)

Grand Druid Barbarian Totem led the five of us from the northern tundra into the Ashenvale Forest, there is only one avenue in the forest, and this forest road is occupied by the forces of the Alliance, we walked a short distance along the forest road, and we saw a sentry built on a giant tree, it was the Alliance's Mystra Sentry, there was a small group of Night Elf soldiers stationed on this tree, from time to time you could see the big birds with horns on the blue and red wings landing on the giant tree, it is said that those big birds are horned eagles, raised by the Night Elves, They're just like our Wyverns, they're flying mounts, but they're meant to be used by the Alliance.

"I said the Great Druid, are we really going to slip under the noses of the Alliance?" Duelff, the Forsaken thief, asked, "We are now hiding in a thick, low vine grove beside the forest path, and the purple vines hanging down hide the six of us well.

"The Forest Tree Dwelling is right next to the forest road, as long as you bypass the territory of the Alliance, you can quickly get there by following the forest road." The Grand Druid said.

"But you can't just swagger along the avenue, right? The Night Elves will shoot us like porcupines. Warlock Blogar said.

"If it's a big deal, we'll run over! I'm not afraid of those Night Elves! The orc warrior Kaslak said as he swung his plate axe.

The Great Druid hurriedly pressed down the plate axe in his hand, then sighed and said, "Orc, you'd better not wield your axe in this forest, it's not good for our next mission. ”

"Why?" Kaslak asked.

"Because the forest of Ashenvale is guarded by the descendants of the demigods, the most hated thing they do is the guy who slashes and slashes with an axe, and you're also an orc of the Warsong Clan."

"What does this have to do with my clan??" Kaslak wondered.

"Alas! It's a long story, but you just listen to me anyway. Manbeard Totem said, and then he said to the others, "From here, we will go around the forest path, and I know that there are two paths, one is to go north into the forest, against the mountains north of the Grey Valley, or to approach the south of the Grey Valley, along the ridge of the Stonetalon Mountains, bypassing the sentry and the Astrana. ”

"Hunter, priest, you've been in Ashenvale for a few days, do you know what's going on with these two paths?" Manbeard Totem asked Jinji and me.

I replied, "The mountains to the north of the Grey Valley are the territory of the bear monsters, and I guess that road is enough to choose, and when Jin Ji and I came from the Broken Wood Outpost, we came along the Stonetalon Mountains in the south, and that road is fine!" I replied.

Manbeard Totem nodded, "Well, then let's head south, under the Stonetalon Mountains and further east." ”

So Gingy and I led the way, and we left the forest road at the Mestra outpost and headed south towards Stonetalon Mountain. Along the way, we did not meet any of the Alliance, but when we reached the foot of the Stonetalon Mountains, we began to move eastward, and so on for most of the day, the surrounding forests became thicker and thicker, and the sky became darker and darker.

After another hour of eastward marching along the foot of the mountain, a small lake appeared in front of us, the surface of which shimmered with stars in the dim woods. Grand Druid Barbarian Totem hurriedly walked to the small lake, he took out the water and looked at it carefully, looked around again, and then said to us: "This is the Lake of the Falling Star, which means that we have bypassed Astranna, now let's head north back to the forest road......"

Before I could finish speaking, a cold arrow suddenly shot from the other side of the lake, and I shouted, "Danger!" But the Great Druid and the others didn't find this cold arrow, and I still didn't know why, I didn't care so much, so I pulled my bow and shot an arrow at the Great Druid, "Hunter! You ......"

Brute Totem bowed his head to dodge, but my arrow slashed slightly over his shoulder, and with a snap, both arrows bounced down in the air at the same time.

It's so dangerous~ I sighed secretly, and then hurriedly pointed to the shore on the other side of the Falling Star Lake and shouted to everyone: "Be careful! Someone's over there!! ”

The sparkle of the Falling Star Lake lit up the shore of the lake on that side, and we saw a vigorous gray moon leopard appear on the shore, and on this moon leopard, there was a sexy night elf in silver armor, who was looking at us with a bow at the moment.

"Troops of the Night Elves!" We shouted, and Warlocks, Thieves, and Warriors pulled out their dicks and prepared for battle, when Barbarian Totem suddenly raised his hand and stopped, "Wait! Don't act rashly! ”

He spoke to the night elf who was riding on the moon leopard in a language we didn't understand, and then he waved his oak staff, and the grass and vegetation on the shore of the lake grew rapidly, and in an instant the field was filled with wildflowers.

After seeing the Grand Druid's spell, the Night Elf slowly lowered her longbow and replied a few words, also in a language we don't understand, Barbarian Totem asked and answered with her, and after a while, the Night Elf pointed in a direction to the north of the woods, and then disappeared into the dark woods on a moon leopard.

After she left, we hurriedly asked the Great Druid, "What did you just say, Great Druid?" Why didn't that Night Elf soldier attack us?"

"She's not any ordinary Night Elf soldier, she's Ryan Wolfwalker of Astranna......"

"Ryan Wolfwalker? Oh?! Is that the Elven Ranger!? "Gingy exclaimed, I'd heard from the outpost sentinels that there was a powerful Night Elf Ranger in Ashenvale, who guarded Azeroth during the Burning Legion's invasion of Azeroth, and was a heroic figure among the Night Elves.

"That's right, it's her, she's not only the Night Elf general of Astrana, she's also a druid, I just told her that we went to the Forest Tree House to find the Cenarion Council, that's why she let us go." Manbeard Totem said.

"What if we don't go to the Cenarion Council?" The warlock asked.

"Then she'll be fighting us." Manbeard Totem replied.

……

After walking a little north from Falling Star Lake, we followed Ryan Wolfwalker's instructions, and finally returned to the forest path again, by which time the entire Ash Valley Forest had already darkened, and it seemed that it was already night.

We were about to take the flint out of our backpack to make a fire, but Manbeard Totem hurriedly stopped, "No fire!" From now on, you follow me, and I will use the Spark technique to light the way forward for you. ”

"There are so many rules for druids......," complained the thief Duhrinf, and the bearded totem used his oak to summon a white starlight that shone on his staff, and with this starlight we continued on the forest path, which split into two paths in the deepest part of the forest, one to the north and one to the east. We followed the path of the Great Druid to the north, and as we went further north, the forests on both sides became more and more ancient, and in the light of the stars, we found that the forest path was lined with towering giant trees, and there was a faint starlight shining between the dense canopies and leaves of these giant trees.

"We are almost at the woods, the domain of the descendants of the demigod Cenarius, and you will see half of your children in a moment, so be in awe, or you will be guilty of anger against the god of nature." The barbarian beard and totem follow suit.

"Children of demigods? What are they like? The crowd wondered, but before the Great Druid could return to our question, there was a burst of joyful laughter from the giant trees around him, and the sound was as beautiful as a silver bell, and blended perfectly with the sound of the breeze blowing the branches and leaves, as if it were the sound of the forest itself, and when it came, it became closer and clearer, and at last it seemed to be all around us, close at hand.

The Great Druid raised his oak staff and brightened the spark spell, and the bright starlight illuminated the surroundings, only to see that a group of half-human, half-deer creatures had gathered on both sides of the forest path, dressed in a coat made of pure leaves, with white eyes like night elves, and were looking at us curiously with those white eyes.
