Confused, Kael'thas walked to his cave.

"Hey, little one."

Not far from the entrance of the cave, a familiar female voice suddenly appeared behind him.

"Onexia, you're back?"

Kael'thas was startled, and then looked back to see that the Black Dragon Princess was staring at him with interest on her face.

"yes, I'm back."

"What's your relationship with that female elf? I just saw you."

She opened her mouth, trying to tell Kael'thas and Solan Liane about their kiss, but Kael'thas reacted quickly and immediately covered her mouth with his hand.

[Don't say it.] 】

His eyes widened, warning Onexia.

There is also an old mage in this cave, and if he is aware of the kiss just now, nothing good will happen.

Onexia looked at Kael'thas strangely, rolled her eyes, and nodded in understanding.

She suddenly stuck out her tongue and licked Kael'thas's hand.

"What are you doing?"

Kael'thas shuddered, and couldn't help but take his hand back.

"You owe me a favor."

Onexia took a step back, blinked, and said with a smile.

At the same time, Kael'thas hears Mephites' voice.

[Unlucky, she saw it. 】

Kael'thas glanced at Onexia helplessly, then turned to face his mentor.

"I'm still wondering why you haven't come back yet."

Mephites said, then glanced at Onexia:

"Is that your fault?"

"Why did you choose this time to come back?"

There was a chill in his blue eyes, which made Onexia shiver.

"I came here and met two weird guys."

"A troll and an orc, I think they must be enemies."

She had always felt awe of the old mage, and immediately explained her actions:

"So I followed them for a while, and I didn't come back until just now."

Onexia hides the content of the battle, but she is not lying.

But this behavior did not work, and Mephites only looked at her and saw that she had not fully recovered from her injuries.

He snorted coldly:

"Are those two guys strong? What are they doing? ”

Kael'thas was beside him, and Mephites didn't have any injuries on Theonyxia's body, and asked directly about the situation.

"I don't know what they're doing."

Onexia's taut heart relaxed a little, and with some embarrassment, she explained:

"They carried a big, strange rock on their backs and went south."

"However, there seems to be a strong magic power on that stone."

Kael'thas and Mephites were stunned at the same time.

Runestone!

It was around the same time that he had determined the origin of the stone—no doubt that it was the runestone that had been stolen from Quel'Thalas.

"Where are the two of them now?"

Kael'thas asked some urgent questions.

"Can you catch up?"

Mephites asks directly about the essence.

"No, I don't think so."

Onexia was a little surprised by their reactions, but replied honestly:

"It's been a long time since they've been gone, and now I can't figure out where they are."

It took her a long time to heal, enough time for the two of them to run far away.

Even Mephiteks could use the magic of teleportation, but not having a specific location at the moment would not work.

"Teacher, I'm going to tell the humans, maybe their intelligence network can help us."

Kael'thas was unwilling to give up hope, and said to Mephites, and hurried out to the outside.

"It looks like I don't have to sleep tonight."

Mephiteks looked at such a disciple and sighed.

"Then I'll go with me."

Onexia clapped her hands and quickly followed Kael'thas out.

Rather than stay in the same place as Mephites, Onexia would rather go out and get cold.

Of course, she didn't follow Kael'thas to the human headquarters, but waited outside.

Lothar was then woken up from her dream by the soldier in charge of the briefing.

He received Kael'thas in that cave, and Uther was by his side.

"Is there anything important about His Highness Kael'thas?"

In the middle of the night, Lothar certainly didn't think that Kael'thas would wake him up for no reason, so he asked directly.

"Lord Lothar, I don't think you know the actions of the orcs who infiltrated the north."

Quel'Thalas's affairs were blocked, so Kael'thas felt that Lothar didn't get any information either.

"Yes."

Lothar nodded, then comforted:

"But don't worry, after spotting those orcs, Lordaeron is ready."

"As soon as they appear, they are not far from death."

He didn't even get any news about the orc's entry into Quel'Thalas, which shows how stealthy the orc's actions were.

[I shouldn't say that they were deliberately hidden by another group of humans.] 】

Kael'thas thought with some concern, and then said to Lothar and Uther:

"No, I don't think they're going to show up."

"Those orcs have been wiped out by my people in Quel'Thalas."

He explained.

The two human commanders were taken aback.

"What's the matter, they've invaded Quel'Thalas?"

"Why didn't Lordaeron notice it?"

Lothar was furious, and Uther's face changed.

Obviously, they sensed something was wrong.

With the blockade of the sea, a group of orcs reached the north without knowing it, which can be barely explained by human mistakes.

But this group of orcs actually invaded the elven kingdom, and before the soldiers on the border noticed it, there was only one answer.

Before Kael'thas arrived, Kalia had mentioned the matter of Alterac to them, and they hadn't paid much attention to it.

Now hearing this latest news, these two people immediately understood.

"Damn, there are traitors!"

Lothar crushed one of the pens in her hand.

Now is the most dangerous time for humanity, however, there are people who have betrayed an entire race.

He absolutely cannot forgive!

However, this is not what Kael'thas is here for.

"It's okay to deal with the traitor's thing later, but the most important thing right now is not this."

He said to the two commanders:

"Although we eliminated those orcs, these orcs were just a front, and they sent two people to steal a piece of Quel'Thalas's runestone very secretly."

"That runestone is the top priority!"

The High Elves' runestone system, known to the whole world.

Unbeknownst to Kael'thas was that in other races, runestones were described more exaggerated than they were.

Humans believe that runestones are the essence of the High Elves' 10,000-year-old magic, and each one is the most powerful powerstone in the world.

So, when Kael'thas spoke out about this, he noticed that both Lothar and Uther's faces turned pale at the same time.

"What are they going to do when they steal the runestones?"

Lothar asked nervously as she stared at Kael'thas.

"I don't know, but it's definitely not easy to do this all the way."

Kael'thas certainly couldn't tell what he knew, it would be horrifying:

"I think they will be able to do something with the immense magic of runestones."

"Destroying cities, making weapons, those warlocks have abilities that many mages don't have, and anything can happen."

Lothar and Uther immediately frowned.

After the Black Dragon, if the tribe still makes any big plans to increase its strength, the alliance may be really lawless.

You know, the rear of humanity is very unstable.

"That runestone isn't far from here now."

Kael'thas finally told the good news:

"Our elves have detected the breath of runestone in the nearby mountains, and it is expected that the stone will be less than half a day's journey away from here."

Quite a while?

Lothar thought for a moment, deciding that this was too long.

"But it's good news."

Uther says:

"At the very least, we might be able to chase this stone back."

It may be a small surname, but it's better than nothing.

"Your Highness Kael'thas, do you mean to let us send someone to track it down?"

Lothar asked Kael'thas.

"Yes, I think you must know the terrain over here."

"There's no way there aren't a few dwarves from Ironforge in the team, right? It's their home. ”

Kael'thas replied:

"Then, if you send some fast paladins and thieves, you might be able to find a clue."

"Even if there is a glimmer of hope, I don't think it's good to waste it."

If it is very pertinent, there is a trace of possibility, and you can't give it up easily.

If the tribe really did something with the rune stone, it would be too late to regret it.

"Okay, I'll give the order at once."

Lothar gritted her teeth and made a decision:

"I'll send a group of elites to investigate, Your Highness Kael'thas and you can send some elves to help."

Kael'thas didn't object, the elves did have the ability to sense runestones, as long as they could detect them wherever the runestones passed.

"In that case, let me go over for myself."

Uther said suddenly.

Kael'thas and Lothar looked at him in disbelief.

"No matter what the outcome is, if I get out."

Uther smiled:

"There aren't many people who can get in my way."

Realizing the importance of the matter, this powerful leader of the Silver Hand willingly took the task.

And as he said, there are really few people in the tribe who can stop Uther.

Kael'thas looked at Lothar, wondering what he would decide.

“”

Lothar was silent for more than ten seconds, seemingly struggling.

But he looked at the crumpled pen in his hand and nodded.

"Then please."

He turned, faced Uther, and said in a dignified voice.

"I'll destroy all the orcs in my way."

Uther replied with a smile.

He suddenly remembered something, and smiled again:

"Our little princess is still doing tasks on the side, let me take her with me, okay?"

Kael'thas was taken aback.

"Of course."

However, Lothar agreed without hesitation.
