Ever since the Dark Gate was founded, the evil magic of the orc warlocks has destroyed the land to its present form. It's like the orc world of Draenor, full of barren sand and scorching air currents. Few humans would like to live here, but since the energy of the abandoned Dark Gate has changed together, the Alliance has had to take it seriously.

See. Not far away were Union soldiers on patrol.

"Captain Lucas, the mages at Fort Watch don't seem to care about our lives or deaths." The soldier who followed behind the captain of the Overwatch Guard absentmindedly resisted the shield while still grumbling.

The burly Lucas slammed the soldier's shield with the hilt of his sword, and the unsuspecting soldier was instantly knocked down to the red ground.

"It can be unpleasant, but you have to be vigilant at all times. Maybe the next attack will be the orcs lurking here! Lucas said as he extended his broad right hand to the soldier who had been knocked to the ground.

The soldier took the captain's right hand and got up to straighten his crooked helmet, nodded in awe and continued to follow Lucas.

This group of soldiers was a unit that patrolled and scouted orc sentinels from the Watch Fort. Since two months ago, the Cursed Lands has once again seen the shadow of orcs. A small group of orc soldiers reappeared on the lands of Azeroth, attacking the Stormwind caravans that were delivering supplies to the Watchtower.

According to the accounts of the survivors of the caravan, the orcs who attacked them were exactly the same as the orcs of two years ago.

Upon learning of this, Khadgar, the leader of the Watch Fortress, immediately probed the Dark Gate, and sure enough, a tiny crack appeared in the Dark Gate again. From these chasms, some orcs traveled from the other world to Azeroth.

As a military stronghold for the Dark Gate, the Watch Fortress does whatever they can in the Cursed Lands.

These human warriors who patrol and scout the orc soldiers scattered in the Cursed Lands are part of that.

"Captain, something seems to be wrong here!" The soldier who was following Lucas said, staring at the col directly ahead.

Lucas gestured backwards, and he could see that when he came here to patrol yesterday, there were no extra two boulders in front of the col in front of him.

The atmosphere froze instantly, and the breathing of the twenty soldiers became rapid. They drew their swords at their waists and joined them.

"Roar!" There was a roar, and the angry breath ignited the frozen atmosphere around him. Dozens of orcs ran out from behind the boulders of the Col, swinging their huge battle axes and slashing at the human soldiers.

The threat of ten orcs did not seem to be a mortal threat, but something that made Captain Lucas desperate came, and from the mountainside on the left, nearly forty orcs also rushed down.

The strength and number were not equal, and Lucas could only cheer up the soldiers behind him and say, "There is no other choice, Harris, take this message and hurry back to the Watch Fort!" ”

Lucas forcibly pushed the soldier out, and then he aimed his sword at the orc in front of him.

"Not a single one is allowed to go! Kill them all. An orc commander shouted from above.

The cacophony of steel crashes and wails of pain took over the clearing. The orcs ruthlessly crushed the soldiers of the Alliance with their numbers and strength. Even the soldier who had fled a long way was caught up by the orc commander on a howling wolf, crushing his skull.

There was only one soldier left in the original alliance squad of twenty soldiers, Captain Lucas, whose left shoulder had his arm cut off.

"Captain, don't you think you've gotten enough information?" The Orc Commander roared with his fangs against Captain Lucas's eyes.

"You beasts, go back to your own world!" With his iron helmet, Lucas slammed into the fangs of the orc leader. With a click, the orc's fangs shattered, and blood dripped from the corners of his mouth onto Captain Lucas's face.

Wounded by a captive, the orc leader angrily raised his battle axe and slashed at Lucas's head.

Just as the battle axe was about to smash the captain's head, a giant blue circle inscription suddenly lit up from the red earth, and then a powerful arcane storm crushed all the orcs entrenched here into floating dust!

With his eyes closed, Lucas, who accepted the death of the battle, did not usher in his end. All he heard was a shrill roar, and then his surroundings fell silent.

"Soldier, you're safe." A calm voice rang in Lucas's ears.

Saved yourself? Lucas slowly opened his eyes and looked at the hooded human mage in front of him and the corpses of his own soldiers around him. He asked, "What about the orcs?" Where did they go. ”

"Hell. Soldier, take me to your territory. Rollin took off his hood and pulled up the badly injured Captain Lucas.

Enduring the pain in his shoulder, Lucas reluctantly stood up, and said, "Your Excellency, before leaving, I want our souls to rest in peace. ”

With a solemn face, it was not the first time that Luo Lin had seen such a sacrifice, and he said helplessly: "Sorry soldier, I'm late." ”

Lucas shook his head, dragging his tired body around his own soldiers.

"This is war, Your Excellency. You don't have to blame yourself. ”

An hour later, a fire burned out over the barren clearing. Lucas stood in front of the flames and saluted the soldiers.

Fort Watch Hall.

"Dalaran's magic is indeed not very reliable, and there is still a crack in the dark door!" Thorbane, who had just arrived from Stormwind, said.

For the Venerable Dalaran who was present, these words were like a clear slap in the face. But none of these mages could argue against the rogue general from Riptide Castle, because there was indeed a problem with the Dark Gate right now.

Khadgar coughed lightly, stroked his pale beard and said, "Calm down, General. Things are nowhere near as bad as we thought!"

Thorbain shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid of these orcs, but what I can't accept is that we have paid such a high price for less than ten years of peace. It's only been two years, and these orcs are coming back again? ”

Two years! Aurelia's shoulders trembled as she seemed to remember something bad again.

It's been two and a half years, Rollin, and how long will it be before you come back. The orcs are back, and I need you.

As if sensing Aurelia's emotional turmoil, the son of Lothar asked in a low voice, "Are you alright, Aurelia?" ”

Aurelia struggled from her painful thoughts and said calmly, "It's all right, General. ”

The Son of Lothar nodded, and set his gaze on Torbain, and said, "Don't be angry, Torbane. We'll be back in Stormwind the day after tomorrow, and the Alliance will have a new meeting! ”

Kudran stroked the feathers of his fellow griffin and said, "It's another meeting, I don't know if you Seven Kingdoms can really negotiate a reasonable solution this time." I have dealt with these kings, and they only seem to buy Sir Lothar's account. ”

Khadgar set his eyes on Tulayan, and he confidently said, "With the son of Lothar, I believe things will turn around." I also ask you to help me and help Azeroth. ”

"Yes, that's right. I can give my life for the sake of the Union. However, I would like to ask the magicians present if you can completely close the dark door, and I hope that the sacrifice of our soldiers is meaningful! Tol Bain is still struggling with that.

This may sound aggressive, but it is a fundamental problem in solving the orc threat.

"Tricksters? The Sky Council, which you are so proud of, can't even solve this problem, or is there anything you human mages can do! Tol Bain asked.

Accustomed to Tolbane's temper, Khadgar was accustomed to such sarcasm.

"The Sky Council is not something you can desecrate, please respect yourself, General!" Pharis, the magister from Dalaran, couldn't stand the rogue general's cynicism.

"Save it, mage. Your high-level magic can't even dissolve the magic of the orcs, so it's better to keep your mouth shut! Thorbain retorted.

Khadgar was a little embarrassed by this quarrel, and he was helpless, because he really didn't have an effective way to solve the problem of these Dark Gate rifts at the moment.

Just as Khadgar was about to interrupt the argument, a roar of blue magical energy swept through the halls of the Watch Castle.

Thorbain thought that the old guy in front of him was about to make a move, and he clenched the hilt of his sword at his waist in a defensive posture.

However, this Dalaran Magister did not possess such powerful magical energy. The teleportation circle lit up, the runes shone, and a hooded magister appeared in front of everyone.

The warriors and paladins didn't have much of a sense of the mage's arrival, but for the mages in the hall, Rollin's arrival completely suppressed the magical energy in their bodies. In front of this powerful magister, they even had some difficulty breathing.

"Khadgar, take this soldier to heal." Rollin took off his hood and immediately showed Aurelia that long-lost smile.

Aurelia saw the familiar figure, and she hurriedly closed her eyes. She told herself that she couldn't let her pent-up thoughts erupt here. This is the Hall of the Watchtower. She has to endure, yes, endure!

Delighted, excited, Aurelia's hands kept kneading the hem of the ranger's skirt. "You talk first, I'll go out first." Aurelia didn't want to lose her mind here, she looked at Rollin with a sly look and trotted out of the hall.

"Rollin!" Khadgar said excitedly.

Khadgar was also curious about Rollin's disappearance. However, due to the current situation, Khadgar did not ask what had happened in the past two years, and he refocused the discussion on the current problem.

"Another trickster. Mage, seeing that your appearance is so amazing, do you know how to close the rift in the Dark Gate? Tolbain asked Rollin disdainfully.

Lorraine ignored Tolbane, he looked at Khadgar and said, "I was on the south side of the Black Swamp and sensed a special energy floating in the Dark Gate. It is believed that these energies can already send orc soldiers to Azeroth. However, the fluctuation of these energies is not stable, and it is impossible for orcs to send soldiers to Azeroth through the Dark Gate in unison. They may be looking for a way to open the dark door once and for all! ”

Khadgar's eyes flashed with a twinkle as he suddenly realized, "You mean to say that, like Gul'dan before, there is another orc in the orc world who controls the Dark Gate. ”

"Yes, they must also be looking for a unique way to reopen the dark doors. All we have to do is kill this orc. Stop him from performing the ritual of opening the portal completely. Rollin said.

"Treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, can you be sure that after killing an orc, there will be no other orcs in the orc world who perform such rituals?" Tol Bain said.

The cheapest! Rollin mobilized arcane energy and completely imprisoned Thorbain in an arcane cage. Completely limited by the power of arcane energy, Thor Bain is now no different from the statue.

You've contributed to the world of Azeroth, but who isn't? Rollin doesn't want to eat you.

Regarding the way to close the dark door, Rollin also thought of another way. That is to use the Elunis Guardian Scepter to create an arcane barrier to completely seal the spatial rift torn by the Dark Gate.

However, Rollin had not been to the Dark Gate, and had not thoroughly explored what the Dark Gate really was, so he could not jump to conclusions.

"Khadgar, I have another way. Tomorrow you go with me to the Dark Gate. Rollin left the sentence and walked out of the hall of the Watch Castle.

Kudran touched the bridge of his nose and said, "I know what this serious Rollin is doing." Hehe, I must have gone to find the Ranger General. ”

Tulayan said with a disappointed face: "This joke is not funny. ”

"By the way, Khadgar, can you unravel the circle that imprisoned Torbairn? Tol Bain doesn't seem to be feeling well. The Sons of Lothar felt sorry for Tolbane, who was also a member of the Sons of Lothar, and said.

Khadgar shook his head helplessly and said, "I and Luo Lin's spell attainments are not at the same level at all, and I can't do anything to crack such a spell." ”

A breeze was blowing, and on the rooftops of the Watch Castle, Aurelia seemed to feel the crisp air that was previously only available in the black swamp.

Rollin sat down next to Aurelia and didn't say a word, and after a few seconds of silence, Rollin took Aurelia's fragrant shoulder around his arms.

Familiar temperature, reliable shoulder. The tip of Aurelia's nose soured, and she sobbed softly.

"You guy, have you returned to Silvermoon City?" Aurelia said as she buried her head in Rollin's chest.

"Don't worry, I've seen my little sister." Rollin said, stroking Aurelia's butterfly bone.

When Aurelia received a satisfactory answer, she raised her forehead and bravely brought Sakura's lips to Rollin's mouth.
