"Trolls?" Lotherma's face suddenly darkened when she heard this, and her one-eyed gleam as she reached out and stroked her mustache.

The two walked briskly towards the location of the incident, and Roman took the opportunity to explain: "The high priest of the Dhakale troll captured by Alex is said to be the wife of the late Frost King Malak, and by the way, there is also a troll baby girl. ”

The blood mage didn't know what Xie Feng was going to do when he arrested them, and he hadn't asked much about coming to Sword Bay for so long, so he casually guessed at this time: "Maybe Alex wants to use them to control the trolls?" It's like a burning thorn and a fire tree. ”

Romans, who is a pure mage, has a relatively low political sense and even emotional intelligence. Walking side by side, he didn't even notice Lotherma's changing face, just talking to himself about what he knew and guessed.

"I wonder how the trolls managed to sneak up here?" Lotherma looked around and asked suddenly. The Ranger Lord's extraordinary ear power told him that it wasn't just one or two people who caused the trouble, or that Sia herself was resisting.

Although it was his first time setting foot on the North Pole, he still knew something about Sword Bay, the largest camp of blood elves in the North Pole! Surrounded by water and guarded by the Unicorn Legion's naval warships day and night, it is impossible for any ship to approach or even set foot on the camp without movement to cause disturbance, let alone sneak up from the sky under the watchful eye of the Ancestral Dragoons and rangers on watchtowers, and even the crocodile people in the water. So how did the enemy get in?

Hearing the question, Romans was also stunned, and suddenly stopped and looked back at Lotherma in astonishment. Under the latter's gaze, he frowned and thought for a long time before he said weakly: "Sword Bay has not blocked the shipping route, and there are often ships of other races such as alliances, tribes, and even goblins passing by nearby, and some of them enter the port to rest. Probably when they are"

Lotherma was silent, and once again quickened her pace towards the place of the incident. It's a pity that the other party is obviously premeditated! By the time the confusion was caused, it was clear that the plan had succeeded. When the two arrived, they saw only a half-collapsed attic, five dead bodies lying on the ground, and a large pile of angry blood knights, the high priest Thea and her daughter had long since disappeared.

"It's an engineering bomb!" Lotherma could see at a glance the reason for the attic's collapse.

Immediately, he set his eyes on the dead corpse on the ground, a maid who was used to spy on Xia nearby, born in the Morning Blade Summoner Legion, and the strength of the sixth order. There was also a Blood Knight who arrived the fastest, and the three Voices were raiders

Shuharududruid, Forsaken Thieves, and even a Blood Elf Mage! There is no sense of disobedience when it is set up and mixed with excellent and sophisticated equipment, and it covers three races and identities, and there is no need to guess.

"It's these damn adventurers again!" The corners of Roman's mouth twitched and cursed angrily. But then, as if sensing something, his face changed suddenly, and he walked briskly outside the camp with his staff.

Lotherma swept away the corpses of the adventurers, ordered them to be put away, and then followed with a group of blood knights.

Soon, under a cliff somewhere inside the island, everyone saw the blood mage with a cloudy face, and the portal in front of him that had not been completely closed! Remote Portals!

"There's a big force involved! Adventurers are just executors. The Blood Mage frowned at Lotherma and made up his mind.

The latter's face was calm and did not change much, as if he had already guessed it, but nodded indifferently.

Teleportals are easy to open, but there are no fixed and stable spatial nodes for you to teleport. The end is not much better than that teaseful dwarf mage and Milhouse mana storm, at least they can come out with complete parts.

There are only a few stable spatial teleportation nodes in Azeroth, and they require a large number of mages to maintain carefully. Except for the two camps and large forces like Dalaran and Cenarion, even Silver Dawn can't afford it!

Without the backing of a large force, adventurers will not be idle to hijack the little-known troll sacrifice.

Returning to the camp again, Lotherma simply ordered the identities and origins of the adventurers to be traced. In fact, he didn't report much hope, he just did his best, and the other party arranged it carefully and thoroughly, and it was impossible to leave any clues.

Sitting back in a chair and stroking his mustache: "Invite the prince and them back as soon as possible, this matter may not be simple!" ”

Romans nodded heavily, put his mind down, and asked curiously: "Tell me, what is our big trouble?" ”

Although there is no hope for Romans' analysis, Lothema chooses to tell him: "It's the Great Chief Sal!" The Frostwolf Orcs in the Alterac Valley suddenly withdrew on a large scale, and their whereabouts are unknown for the time being."

An hour later, Xie Feng, who was cleaning up the aftermath in the Ice Blood Fortress. Staring at the frozen Ancestor Dragoon in front of him, his tone was obviously depressed and panicked: "Frost wolf orcs? A massive withdrawal from the Alterac Mountains?! ”

Soon, Prince Kael'thas came with Isath, Tallonix, Salorian and others. They were joined by the beaten blue dragons Trarigos and Elegos, who had been beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, and who had turned into elven form.

With the separation of Dalaran's family, Crassus and Old Blue Dragon, who were rescued by Ronin, stopped their clansmen respectively.

Although the loss was not small, the achievements made, especially the fact that Dalaran was almost demolished, made the blue dragons very satisfied, and they did not chase after it, and the red dragons had to take it because of the chaos in Dalaran, and the melee quickly subsided, and they returned.

Without avoiding the two blue dragons, Xie Feng directly told everyone about the arrival of Lotherma and the movements of the frostwolf orcs.

Esaas's face changed immediately, but Tallonix and Saladre were at a loss, and the two blue dragons didn't pay attention to it at all. Prince Kael'thas sat on the ice chair and quietly closed his eyes and pondered: "Withdraw the troops!" ”

"Defeat Arthas, there's no point in staying here, let's withdraw to Sword Bay! Someday"

Xie Feng took the order to go down. Half an hour later, the remaining 4,000 blood elves, along with more than 200 high-level mages of Dalaran, withdrew with all the wounded and some supplies, leaving the Ice-Blood Fortress to the Scarlet Crusaders of Abydis.

After seeing Erigor's corpse, the Blood Elves and the Scarlet Crusaders, who had been working closely together, began to separate. Although Dalyan and Tylan did not believe that Xie Feng did it. But the atmosphere inside the Ice Blood Fortress still changed.

The alliance has torn its face, and now that there is another incident on the orcs' side, the blood elves simply leave the camp to the blood army to retreat, at least until the trouble is resolved. It is no longer possible to remain in the coalition forces.

After leaving the camp, the old blue dragon approached Xie Feng and forcibly squeezed out a smile on that miserable face: "Your Royal Highness, I believe that your efforts will satisfy the great weaver." ”

first said politely, then his face changed in vain, and he gritted his teeth and said: "But it must not end here." Damn Dalaran, damn the Red Dragon! They must be made to pay a greater price! Tell them who the true guardians of the arcane are! ”

Six blue dragons fell in today's battle, and heedingly, four of them fell under the attacks of the red dragons and Dalaran! Although the red dragon also fell with three dragons and a bunch of young dragons, it still made the old blue dragon hate Crassus to the core.

Tralegos, who was opposed to Malygos' crazy plans, has changed completely!

"Is this my father-in-law's will?" In Xie Feng's heart, the plan to deal with the Red Dragon Clan had already been planned, but he had no time to operate: "Now that the blood elves are too busy to take care of themselves, I can't be distracted by this for the time being." ”

Traricos said solemnly: "In the name of the weaver." Any military behavior of the blood elves in Northrend, as well as actions against the blood elves, the blue dragon will never stay out of it and will go all out! ”

In the name of the weaver? Xie Feng was pleasantly surprised: "You mean that your father-in-law wants to form an alliance with the blood elves?!" ”

"No, just you, Your Royal Highness." The old blue dragon deliberately accentuated the last honorific. smiled meaningfully at Xie Feng: "As long as you are here, the blood elves will be absolute allies of the Blue Dragon Clan!" ”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't make a difference! However," Xie Feng shrugged his shoulders, then thought of a little more, and stretched his voice: "How much do you know about those troll animal gods in Zudak?" How is their strength compared to the Blue Dragon? ”

Tralegos was stunned for a moment, a little uncomfortable with Xie Feng's out-of-the-box thinking, and hesitated: "There are only six of them!" ”

"The blue dragon is also qualified to despise the number of others?" Xie Feng sweated profusely and stared at him a little speechlessly.

The meaning of the old blue dragon's words was obviously that the animal god was stronger than the blue dragon, and when he heard Xie Feng's words, he added: "The animal kidney is only stronger than the ordinary blue dragon. If you change to Prince Arregos and Lord Harrin, you can definitely defeat them! ”

Xie Feng blinked: "But they have six, right?" Well, the siege is not unacceptable. ”

After a pause, he added, "Don't trouble the red dragon for a short time. You just need to gather strength and wait until the right time. I've got a preliminary plan, a plan to make the red dragon bleed! As long as the time comes"

As he spoke, he patted the old blue dragon on the shoulder, turned to leave, and followed the blood elf team.

Before Angasa, everyone left on the blood elves, and even the Sarufar father and son of the tribe did not show up. This made the sense of crisis in Xie Feng and Kael'thas even stronger, and it was obvious that something was brewing in the tribe.

Although it was close to dusk, the Blood Elves did not stop, braved the cold wind and hurried through the night, and finally caught up with the Naga who were advancing at a rapid pace before midnight, and entered the port of Moyaki of the Walrus people together.

Vasqi sent the high-ranking dogleg Naintus to say hello, then led his people out into the sea, and soon disappeared. Illidan is also long gone, but the upper elf royal sister has left behind with the upper elf mages.

Walrus people do not want to and do not have the ability to participate in the disputes between the major forces, but it is still safe as a neutral port, at least better than crossing the Dragonbone Wilderness overnight, and when the elven fleet of Sword Bay arrives tomorrow, they can retreat safely. Leaving behind the two advisors, Prince Kael'thas returned from the sky overnight, along with Xie Feng and Isaas.

By the time they appeared in the conference room of Sword Bay, Passarena was already there when they returned from piloting the energy ship. After the prince, Xie Feng, and Isaas came in, Romans propped up the soundproof barrier, and Lothema went straight to the point:

"Information from yesterday afternoon. The Frostwolf Clan suddenly became very conservative during the battle for the Alterac Valley, and had been besieging the Stoneloo Tower, but had withdrawn their battle line to the vicinity of the Tower's Heights overnight. The conquest of the plains yielded to each other. Overjoyed, the Thunderspear Legion tested after reorganizing the defensive line, only to find that the Frostwolf Clan's forces were very weak."

"It wasn't until yesterday morning that anyone found their tracks near the ruins of Steinbrad, the five thousand Frostwolf clan elites who had withdrawn from the Alterac Valley and their leader, the Great Shaman Drektar!"

Although he was prepared, after hearing the specific news, Xie Feng couldn't help but feel a tense in his heart: "Five thousand people"

Nearby, Passaren has unfolded and placed a map of the Alterac Mountains and its surroundings in the center. And the location of Steinbled was marked: "It is clear that they were exiting the valley at night, and they were well prepared. ”

"Perhaps, they have another purpose?" Xie Feng was a little difficult to accept, although he didn't believe his own words.

Lotherma glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Stop kidding yourself, Alex. ”

"The orc intentions are already very obvious! From Steinbled to the north, you can reach Loch Lordamere. Whether you're crossing a lake or a trail through the northern mountains, you can appear under the Undercity! Even if you take a detour along the lake and enter the Silver Pines Forest near the ruins of Dalaran, you can reach the Tirisfal Glade in one day! ”

After a pause, he slammed the map in anger with a hideous face: "Such a large-scale military operation, Talummir, who is close at hand, is unaware of it, and it is the headquarters of the Forsaken Sentinels!" But no information was obtained. If it weren't for the Thunderspear Dwarves asking for help from Eagle's Nest Mountain and letting the Kingdom of Stormgard get the news, we might still be in the dark! ”

The Forsaken Sentinels are definitely the largest army of thieves in the tribe! Xie Feng smiled bitterly: "Is that the fox?" ”

"Although he is not well-intentioned!" Lotherma nodded, commenting on Rommel's words, before continuing, "Another purpose? What else can the frostwolf orcs do? Wandering across the Alterac Mountains to the West Plaguelands? ”

The frostwolves are the mother of the Great Chief Thrall, and it is impossible for the entire orcs to command them except for Drektar and himself, even the King of Sarufar! And how could Drektar give up his hometown so easily?

There was a hint of disappointment on Aisas's face, and he shook his head and sighed: "Our intelligence ability is really bad~"

"Before there was no rebellion in the Undercity. The Frostwolf Clan is no threat at all, and instead relies on logistical supplies and troop support from the Forsaken of Tarummir. Romans frowned slightly and retorted: "No one has gone back to pay attention to the troops of such an ally, we don't have extra energy!" ”

"No, we should have thought of today!" Passareen, however, shook his head with an ugly face and admitted his mistake.

Prince Kael'thas was a little puzzled: "The Five Thousand Frost Wolf Clan, just because they also want to set foot in the Dark City?" ”

Hearing this, Lothama, Xie Feng and Passaren looked at each other and smiled bitterly. In the end, Xie Feng explained, spread his hands, and smiled helplessly: "They don't need to set foot in the Dark City, as long as the orc army appears in the Tirisfal Glade!" ”

"They can totally wait! And we can't let the Undercity be controlled by the rebels. But if we want to attack, we will definitely not be able to bypass the orc forces, and Thrall is the leader of the tribe after all. The rebels are not to be worried, but what about after they are captured? The frostwolf orcs can take advantage of the situation to enter the Undercity! Then we can get ready for a steady stream of orcs~"

If the Undercity is controlled by the orcs, how will Sylvanas deal with himself? And how will the blood elves deal with it?!

Kael'thas gritted his teeth: "If we refuse to join the orcs, Thrall will dare to go to war with five thousand orcs?" ”

"It must not be done." Lotherma hurriedly dissuaded: "Your Highness, don't forget the incident at the Twilight Fortress! ”

"If we refuse to allow the orcs to lose the support of the tribe, we will face a hostile environment of resisting the Alliance's attack alone. All Thrall wants is to control the Forsaken, while Alliance and Varian want to rebuild Lordaeron! ”

After listening to his explanation, the prince was silent for a moment, although the blood elves at this time were not afraid of the threat of the alliance, and the alliance could not use all its energy to carry out the 'Northern Expedition'. But Quel'Salas will also be mired in endless war.

Everyone looked at each other. This is simply an unsolvable problem!

While everyone was pondering what to do, Lotherma suddenly dropped another bombshell: "Before I left, I received information from the Echo Islands that Woking wanted his disciple, Shadowhunter Denga, to start Silvermoon City. ”

"Walkin? What does he want to do? Passaren's face changed again, and he hadn't heard this information just now.

Kael'thas also realized that something was wrong, and a gleam flashed in his eyes: "It's the Echo Islands, not Orgrimmar?!" ”

What does Woking want to do in the Echo Islands? Xie Feng realized that something was wrong, and a thin layer of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Just as the One-Eyed Ranger was about to continue speaking, the soundproof shield in the room suddenly quivered, attracting everyone's attention. With Kael'thas' approval, Romans removed the shield and saw the anxious figure wandering through the door

"Hawksbill?" Xie Feng's face turned pale, and he got up and called him in: "What's wrong?" ”

The Ranger Commander was also taken aback by the upper echelons of the room. After saluting the prince, bow down. It wasn't until the shield was propped up again that he began to report under Xie Feng's questioning: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, General, the hills are about to get out of control!" ”

"The dwarves have opened the ancient underground tunnels, and the Alliance forces are pouring from Howling Fjord into the hills, and the eastern part of the hills is almost completely controlled by them. It has also infiltrated the west, established Amber Pine Camp and Silvercreek Town, confronted the Orc Conquest Fort, and established lumberyards near the northern lakes at the same time, causing massive friction. ”

"Alliance?" Xie Feng nodded casually. He had never thought of controlling the entire Grizzly Hill, and continued to ask.

"Thanks to the intervention of the Night Elves, the Bear Monsters are gradually moving closer to the Alliance." Hawksbill's face became more and more heavy: "In addition, the Dakale trolls of Zudak in the north don't know why they suddenly gave up their attack on the Scourge. Instead, they besieged the camp of Silver Dawn and the Knights of the Black Blade, and the two sides had been fighting fiercely for almost two days. The Scourge in the fortress of Daxaron has also been dispatched on a large scale and has disappeared, and Vaughn, who is stationed in Sebharak, has lost contact with the Thorn Burning Tree Trolls."

"Vaughn? Is it really him?! Xie Feng stood up and looked at Hawksbill with a pale face.

The suspicion in my heart was finally confirmed. Erigor really died under Susas! After the shock, he was furious, and looked at the Ranger Commander with a hideous face: "Immediately send an order to the Heart of the River, and kill all the Burning Thorns and Fire Tree Trolls for me!" ”

"Wait!" Lotherma suddenly got up and stopped the somewhat overwhelmed Hawksbill and the furious Xie Feng, with a gloomy face: "Calm down, Alex, this matter is not as simple as you think. ”

"What else? Can Eregor still die in vain? Xie Feng's expression was hideous, and the wind sword jumped into his palm: "I want to use the heads of two thousand burning thorns and fire tree trolls to make amends to Silver Dawn and the teacher!" I'm going to make them pay with blood! ”

Instead of answering directly, Lotherma said something else: "Alex, just yesterday afternoon, the Dhakale Troll Sacrifice you captured was taken by a group of adventurers who possessed the ability to teleport steadily. ”

"Thea? Adventurer? "Xie Feng was stunned. Flashes of inspiration, all kinds of clues began to fly in the brain.

Kael'thas and Passaren also feel bad, and all the clues converge in the direction of the trolls

Xie Feng sat down on the chair and looked up to the sky: "It's really hard work~"

After thinking about everything, where is his anger and murderous intent now? There is only extreme unwillingness left in my heart! It took all the effort to create the opportunity for the re-emergence of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas! Is it just a failure?!

"Is it the Great Chief? Issar's personality is really terrifying. Taking a deep breath, Xie Feng's gaze slowly condensed and looked at Lotherma. If it was Thrall's masterpiece that he could accept, if Vorking's old troll who was always overlooked, or someone else, then it wasn't just fear

There was not much frustration on Lotherma's face. Maybe it's because I've faced more sinister situations many times. He glanced at everyone present and finally focused on the prince: "Your Highness, we must make a choice as soon as possible. ”

"The Undercity must not give up!" Prince Kael'thas also had an ugly face, but he still kept his senses, and waved his hand categorically, "The Forsaken will be our last and most reliable ally in the Northern Continent!" ”

looked at the courtiers with ugly faces, or depressed, or unwilling. Instead, he forced a smile and explained: "No matter what, we will lose the opportunity to expand and rise at most, but no one can stop our revival!" ”

"As long as we keep watch and help the Forsaken, the Eastern and Western Plaguelands will be in our pocket! One day we will be able to dispel the natural disaster pollution and become another eternal song forest! Sweeping the map of the North Continent in front of him, he stretched out his hand and pointed outside: "Don't forget that there is Northrend!" After defeating the Scourge, there is too much land for us to occupy and transform! ”

Passaren immediately echoed and sneered: "Tribes and alliances will not be strong forever, and not every great chief is as wise and wise as Saar, and a long life is our greatest asset!" We can wait! ”

Xie Feng was speechless, and it was not impossible to accept another way of thinking, although he was still very unwilling. Turning to his head, he commanded, "Anyway, first control the Burning Thorn and the Fire Tree Trolls and take them hostage." ”

"Vaughn was always a hero. With the addition of Excalibur Susasu, the tribe will not give up easily! By handing over the Fire Tree and the Thorns, Vaughn's actions will be passed on to Thrall and Woking, and the feud and estrangement between the Alliance and the Horde will never be reconciled with the strife of the Undercity. ”

Scratching his head, he said helplessly: "It seems that we still have to face pressure from the alliance!" ”

The three tribes are in the Western Continent, although the land is barren and resources are scarce, but the Night Elves rarely take the initiative to attack, and it is also acceptable to steal some trees in the Ash Valley to cause some small friction, and the Draenei is too busy to take care of himself, and it is quite safe.

The Blood Elves and the Forsaken are up against the strongest humans and dwarves in the Alliance! Gnomes don't mention it~

"At least you don't have to face the Alliance and the Horde at the same time, do you?" Passaren rubbed his eyebrows, and a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes: "Don't forget that the Forsaken also has a sharp weapon in his hands—the Withering Elixir!" ”

Everyone was in a cold sweat, including the prince. The tragedy of the Twilight Fortress is still vivid, can that kind of thing be used casually? Xie Feng swallowed and moistened his dry throat: "You want to turn the Dark City into a second Icecrown Fortress?" ”

Shaking his head, he said, "It's really not, we can also secretly unite the Stormgard Alliance." ”

Speaking of this, he was suddenly stunned, and looked at Lotherma speechlessly: "Is that the fox planning to do so?" ”

If the powerful orcs were allowed to occupy the Undercity, the Stormgard Alliance would have no choice but to follow the Azeroth Alliance all the way to the dark, because the Horde didn't need them to contain the Alliance at all! They are persimmons that are easy to pinch.

But if it is replaced by blood elves, having them in the alliance is the best choice

"There's really no such thing as a simple thing!" Holding his chin, he sighed as his fingers tapped on the tabletop.

He admired Lotherma a little! There are no heroes and powerhouses, there are no formed troops that can handle them, the diplomatic environment is a mess, and even Sylvanas doesn't give him a good look. But even so, according to the original trajectory, he actually took Silver Moon City to the end of the Northern Expedition, and there was a faint trend of revival!

Just as he sighed, the One-Eyed Ranger brought him another surprise: "Thrall and Wojin secretly support the trolls to balance Silvermoon City, and we can also use the topic to use Zuaman's feud as an excuse to gradually recall the rangers in the Silver Covenant and the Alliance!" As long as we return to the land of ghosts, and the logistics are controlled by us, can we still escape? ”

After a pause, he sneered: "We can secretly form an alliance with the Stormgard Kingdom to stop the alliance's northern expedition." In addition, the Hammer Dwarves who secretly support Eagle's Nest Mountain have cleared the forest trolls of Hinterland! How long will the Amani tribe be able to hold on?! (To be continued......)
