From the early morning around the Dragon's Throat Gate, by noon, the elves began to slow down - even on the sides of the mountain, the orcs' defenses gradually strengthened as they deepened.

Kael'thas and their disappearance was discovered very early, and the orcs gathered at the Dragon's Throat Gate were furious, and quickly passed the news to the orc troops behind, allowing them to strengthen their scan of the mountains and forests.

The orcs also guessed the path that the elves would choose based on Xi's surname.

As for Onexia, an excellent cover officer of the elves, her orc female form was finally suspected, although she was not directly attacked, but she also received strong warnings from some sentry posts on the road.

In desperation, the Black Dragon Princess could only give up this disguised identity and turn into a high elf again to move forward with everyone.

The result, of course, is exactly as it was said at the beginning – a sharp reduction in speed.

"It's not without its benefits."

Seeing that the others were a little unhappy, Kael'thas opened his mouth to comfort:

"Let's be careful, it should be night when we get to the gate of Grimbaatar."

"This time helped us a lot in our invasion of that city."

At this time in time, the gates of Grimbaatar should be fully monitored and controlled by the orcs, and Kael'thas has not thought of any way to deal with this problem for the time being. Either way, it would be advantageous to arrive at night over during the day, and perhaps they could use the darkness and magic to create some opportunities.

"Your Highness, a new orc has been discovered."

At this time, the elves reached the new defense point of the orcs.

"How many people? How many sentry posts are there? ”

Kael'thas asked, less worried.

Although the orcs set up a blockade, no large number of orcs were found in the areas they passed through before. Due to the hasty arrangement, the orcs, who knew nothing about the mountains and forests, did not provide sufficient logistical supplies, resulting in a thin blockade.

Perhaps they thought that a few dozen orcs would be able to seal off the forest perfectly, but this obviously underestimated the agility of the elves. In Kael'thas's opinion, dozens of orc blockades with limited mobility could not threaten the elves' advance at all.

Of course, it wouldn't be the same if these orcs were professional thieves or sentinels.

"The exact number is not clear, but more than 30 were found, and six were found at the outposts."

The elven thief in charge of the investigation bowed his head and replied.

Kael'thas thought for a moment.

"Let's stop moving forward and find out the specific situation."

For the sake of being appropriate, he did not rush forward.

"Besides, it's time for lunch."

He continued.

It's midday, and the sun is a little hot, but with the shade of the trees, it's not much of a problem.

A few elven thieves then proceeded to investigate, while Kael'thas took the rest of the men to a simple lunch, the magic bread.

This lunch spot is very simple, surrounded by stout trees, but there is no river.

However, among the mage's spells, there is a spell that creates water, which makes the elves not worry about hunger and thirst at all.

Kael'thas held the water bladder and moved his hand, absorbing water vapor and arcane from the air and blending into it, and could feel the weight of his hand increase.

He's making magic water.

The water made by the mage not only quenches thirst, but also rejuvenates the spirit, somewhat similar to some herbal soups. Of course, the effect of ordinary water-making spells is not very great.

Kael'thas had heard that some powerful mages were researching the water they created, and the effect was miraculous compared to the priest's healing techniques.

"Water and bread, who created the spell?"

He asked Mephites curiously.

Even the old mage could only shake his head at this question and say:

"I don't know, this spell has been around since ancient times."

But there is no doubt that the source of this spell should be the upper elves or the blue dragons.

In ancient times, they were the only researchers and users of magic.

Kael'thas had some regrets.

The spells in the world were the most magical and diverse, and they seemed to be omnipotent, and he was quite curious about it.

If bread and water can be made, then why not use these theories to make other foods?

Again, waiting for magic to develop for another 10,000 years may come to fruition.

"Give."

Kael'thas handed the hydration bladders to the others.

In this lunch, Solanlian is in charge of the bread and he is in charge of the water.

But whether it's bread or water, Kael'thas is confident enough about the taste.

"This taste"

Sure enough, the first time they drank the water he made, the elves were a little surprised.

"Little one, did you bring candy?"

Onexia asked, licking her lips to keep the sweetness behind.

But she didn't feel the sweetness on her lips anymore.

"No, is your water sweet?"

The added water can be detected on the lips and the residual taste sensation, and only the taste of the water itself can be free of residue.

Onexia was stunned.

"Gollum"

She took the water bag and poured it down in one go, and then heartily handed the water bag over again:

"Make me some more."

It tasted great.

Onexia is a black dragon, if you have to say that she is even a naturally growing beast, and she is not as interested in colorful drinks and beer as pure natural water. But the taste of pure natural water is a bit monotonous, and water like Kael'thas has both natural aroma and other flavors, which immediately attracted her.

"I want it too."

The other hand reached out, and it was Sylvanas.

At some point, she drank the water too.

Kael'thas didn't refuse the two men's request, and honestly made new ones for them. The lake of mana in his body was already very large, and it was almost impossible to consume anything to make this water.

Lunch was quickly over, and the Kael'thas had received detailed information and made some analysis.

"No problem."

The conclusion was reached, as before, that these orcs were not much of a threat to the elves.

Kael'thas relieved himself and continued with the elves.

They kept an eye on the orcs' movements, and passed under the trees, from the treetops, and through the vine-covered areas, and experienced half the journey without any accidents.

However, just when Kael'thas thought they would get through this hurdle in peace, an elven thief hurried over.

"Your Highness, several orcs are running towards this direction."

The news he brought stunned all the elves.

They were discovered?

But the elves showed no signs

"Hidden in the trees."

Kael'thas made a quick decision and gave the order to dodge.

The elves leaped up into the trees and hid themselves through the dense foliage. Except for the thieves, all of them are powerful elves, and it is naturally very easy to hide their figures. As for Kael'thas and Solanlian, these two are mages and can completely hide their aura with their unique magic.

In fact, the magic they use is the same one that the elves invented years ago during their war with the trolls, and after years of research, that magic is now more than just a cover for mages.

Other professions, as long as they have reached a high level of strength, can also use this magic.

Of course, the most important reason for this is that every elf has a powerful magic in his body. The special nature of this race means that no matter what profession you are, you will know a little magic.

A moment later, the tom sound of the footsteps was heard, and along with it, there was a "click" sound from the broken branches on the ground.

[It's coming.] 】

Kael'thas lowered his breath and looked down a little nervously.

One, two, three

A total of 6 orcs appeared, and they walked in a hurry with grim expressions, completely oblivious to the situation around them, and quickly entered and then quickly left.

[Just passing by. 】

Kael'thas breathed a sigh of relief.

But he didn't act, and neither did the other elves.

It wasn't until a few minutes had passed, and there were no more noises or anomalies below, that safety was assured.

"Come down."

Kael'thas said as he landed lightly on the ground.

With a few "pops" and "pops", the elves all fell to the ground.

"Looks like it's just passing by."

Onexia said as she straightened her somewhat messy hair.

"Hmm."

Kael'thas looked at the few leaves hanging from her head, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and then nodded:

"Something else must have happened."

He thinks that the elves should not be exposed, and there should be other reasons for the other party's actions.

A very simple reasoning: if the elves are exposed, the orcs who find them will definitely not rush easily, and the correct thing to do is to inform the large army.

"Let's look it up and see if we can figure out why."

Kael'thas turned to one of the elven thieves and then continued:

"Let's move on."

Since they weren't exposed, they had to hurry up and get out of here first.

After that, this blockade point was successfully passed by them, and there should be no new blockade for nearly a kilometer behind.

This made all the elves relax a little.

However, while they were still on their way, the elven thief who was in charge of the investigation returned.

"Your Highness, a large number of red dragons are flying from the vermilion barrier, fighting with the orcs along the way."

"Those orcs just now went to participate in the interception on nearby territory."

The thieves lived up to Kael'thas expectations and soon gathered new information.

However, this information made Kael'thas face darken slightly.

A large number of Red Dragons attack Grimbaatar

This is not a good sign.

Kael'thas can only draw one conclusion from this: Alexstasa, the queen of the red dragon, is in danger!

Only when this queen is in danger will those red dragons be forced to fly out of the vermilion barrier in large numbers in order to save the queen.

Now the question is, is Alexstasa still in danger? Or maybe she's been controlled by the orcs?
