After two days of preparation, only 10 people went on the mission.

This includes 4 people, Solan Liane, Sylvanas, Onexia, Mephites, and Kael'thas, as well as 6 excellent thieves.

They didn't go to start a war, the main purpose was to capture the dragon's soul, and it was not good to have more people.

A large number of teams can easily be exposed, and they will be discovered by the orcs who control the Twilight Heights, and in the event of a war, the elves have no hope of winning in the opponent's territory.

Therefore, the fewer the number of people, the better, and it is best to use an elite squad to steal the dragon's soul by surprise.

Needless to say, Sylvanas and Onexia are legendary professionals, Solanlian's foreknowledge may also be useful, and the thieves are the ones who use it to spy on information.

The real combat power of this team exceeds that of the orcs of thousands of troops, so there is no need to worry.

Or rather, of these people, Kael'thas is the most useless, Solan Lian once proposed that he not go, but Kael'thas refused.

He had a vague premonition that this operation was likely to be an accident and needed to be solved by him.

"I hope it doesn't come true.] 】

Kael'thas didn't see what was wrong with Solan Liane, so he comforted himself.

If so, there is no reason why the astrologist should not know.

But Kael'thas didn't think about it, and even if Solan Liane knew something, it didn't mean that she would tell him.

The Astral may be able to see some of the impending dangers, but she can also hide.

If she could change or stop it, Solan Lian knew what to do, but what if her actions were meaningless? Why did she speak up and worry everyone?

-- If there is a future without danger, it is better to let it develop.

There was a Mephites among the elves, and Solan Lian believed that everyone would be fine.

Starting in the morning, after a long green belt meadow, the elves arrived at Dinosaur Ridge at noon.

Dinosaur Ridge is in the northeast corner of the wetland, diagonally below the Dragon's Throat Gate in the distance, through which you can walk down to Grimbaatar.

"What did you say was the name of the leader who got the dragon's soul?"

Kael'thas looked at the red dragons flying in Dinosaur Ridge from afar, and noticed that the land of this place was also full of dragons and velociraptors.

He didn't get in easily.

"Necruz* Skullcrusher, a leader of the Dragonmaw Clan."

Onexia's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she pronounced the name awkwardly.

"Well, that's him."

Kael'thas nodded, he had an impression, but he couldn't remember the name:

"Are you sure he's not in Grimbaatar right now?"

Onexia nodded:

"Yes, he's in a camp in Twilight Heights right now."

The Dragonmaw Clan occupies almost all of the Twilight Highlands, including the city of Grimbaatar left behind by the Hammer Dwarves, however, their dragon hunting takes place throughout the Twilight Highlands, where Necrus has been hunting dragons.

"In that case, you don't need to go to Grimbaatar first."

Kael'thas felt a little relieved.

Grimbaatar is a sprawling underground city, and if Necrus stays inside, it will be difficult for the High Elves to hide their presence.

Even, on the way from the Dragon's Throat Gate to Grimbaatar, the dense orc soldiers might spot them.

However, now there is a new problem standing in the way of the elves, and that is how they can now get to the Twilight Heights.

"There's a vermilion barrier up there."

Kael'thas raised his head and looked at the top of the high mountain range in the distance, and he could vaguely see countless red dragons flying.

Although the wetlands are connected to the Twilight Heights, they are blocked by the mountains in between, which, unlike the others, are connected to form a new land, the Vermilion Barrier, which, as its name suggests, is the territory of the Red Dragon, the barrier between the Wetlands and the Twilight Heights.

The Vermilion Barrier is the habitat of the Red Dragons, who have been breeding here for generations, and the Red Dragon Queen also lives on it, and if you pass by it, you will definitely be found.

Although the Red Dragons do not harbor much prejudice against mortals, they do not have a good opinion of those who invade their territory, and Kael'thas does not want the Red Dragon Queen to find out about their actions for the time being.

"How do you get there?"

Kael'thas was a bit nerve-wracking.

The others didn't have a good idea, and after half an hour of fruitless talking, Mephites spoke up.

"I'll take you there!"

He said, looking at Kael'thas with somewhat stern eyes:

"In the future, you have to think about this kind of thing in advance, this time I will help you, and I will not take it as an example."

Despite what Mephites said, he was actually very doting on Kael'thas in his heart. If this happens again next time, he will definitely compromise.

Kael'thas felt a little guilty.

It wasn't his intention this time, Kael'thas really didn't pay attention. The Twilight Heights map was released in a later version of the game, when players arrived in a spaceship from Orgrimmar and usually flew in the air, which caused Kael'thas to not know much about the land transfer between the wetlands and the Twilight Heights.

Mephites recited the spell of collective teleportation, and the elves gathered together, and when the blue magic light lit up, they disappeared into the wetland.

The surrounding scenery shook for a moment, and people instantly felt sick to vomit, and then when they saw it again, they were already in another place.

Kael'thas shook his head, quickly coming to his senses. The degree of dizziness was much milder than when he was a child, and the growth of his strength made him gradually able to accept teleportation.

"This is Twilight Heights."

Looking back at the towering cliffs, Kael'thas realized that they hadn't teleported far.

The current location should be the northwest corner of Twilight Heights, next to the Vermilion Barrier, which means that Mephithes only led them through the Vermilion Barrier.

"Your Highness, I heard the sound of battle."

Sylvanas, unaffected, spoke suddenly.

[Orcs? 】

Kael'thas was taken aback.

Wouldn't they be so 'lucky' to run into an orc as soon as they teleported?

Kael'thas hurriedly asked everyone to hide, and then sent thieves to test the information.

The elven thieves left quickly, and then returned in a few moments.

"Your Highness, it's a group of orcs."

He affirmed Kael'thas suspicions, but wasn't finished:

"But the orcs aren't targeting us, they're catching some red dragons, and they should just happen to be here."

【Red Dragon? 】

Kael'thas felt a sudden shock, did the orcs shoot at the red dragon so quickly?

However, this is also normal, after the Nexus Cruise* Skull Crusher obtains the Dragon's Soul, he no longer has to worry about the revenge of the Red Dragon Queen, and he can shoot freely.

"How many orcs are there?"

Kael'thas asked.

"There are only a few dozen."

The elven thief bowed his head in reply.

Dozens

"Do you want to save those red dragons?"

Kael'thas asked the elves.

Dozens of orcs, they can be completely wiped out without leaving a trace.

“”

Sylvanas didn't answer, and Onexia looked uninterested.

"Save!"

Only Solan Lian gave this answer.

"Save it."

Mephites glanced at Solan Lian and nodded.

He spoke, and naturally no one objected, and the elven thieves went over first to cut off the orc's external escape route, and then the rest of the people immediately set off towards the orc team.

They found the orcs in the meadow not far from the forest, and they learned how to catch dragons.

The orcs were very cunning, and they placed some handicap-immobile animals on the ground to lure the red dragons in the sky, while they hid in the forest to observe.

By the time Kael'thas and the others arrived, the orc team had already managed to capture three red dragons.

The three red dragons were chained around their necks by spelled chains, and could only obey the orcs weakly.

After Kael'thas and the others appeared, they launched an attack on the orcs without saying a word.

This time Kael'thas was prepared, he asked a few people to pay attention to the orc's movements, and did not let them send an alarm.

In a matter of minutes, all the orcs were wiped out.

"Thank you, Elf."

The three freed red dragons thanked the elves, but luckily Kael'thas knew the language of the dragons, otherwise he wouldn't have heard them.

However, being able to talk also means that these red dragons are not fake bloodlines.

"You're welcome."

Kael'thas replied:

"You'd better be careful in the future, it looks like the orcs will often hunt you like this."

"They're guts!"

The red dragon spewed fire, and then said to Kael'thas:

"We've heard of the war between you and the orcs, so you're supposed to be here to fight them, right?"

"Although Her Majesty told us not to meddle in mortal affairs, we have to repay the grace of saving lives."

The red dragon moved its claws, then out of nowhere, took out a trumpet and threw it to Kael'thas.

"In case you guys are in trouble, blow this, and our companions will go to help."

"Of course, it doesn't hold us back, so don't try to use it for anything."

It snorted, and then, along with the remaining two dragons, flew into the sky, and soon vanished.

"I don't like them."

Sylvanas spoke.

There has never been another race that has been able to treat elves in a condescending manner, and they are also princes who treat elves.

Kael'thas smiled when he heard this, he didn't mind.

After putting the horn away, the group continued their journey.

And at this very moment, the goblins of the Twilight Highlands are reporting something to Deathwing in the distance through some device.

Goblin Krell also talks about Onexia's appearance in passing, and it doesn't notice anything wrong, but Deathwing notices something strange in his heart.

The old and cunning man thought about it in his heart.
