The clouds began to thin, the moonlight shone on the shore, and the armor worn by the elves shimmered golden.

They were fighting, killing straight forward.

Heartily, the blonde prince opened the way ahead, the priest healed in the middle of the team, and when the mages cast their spells freely, and the rangers shot their bows and arrows freely, each elf, under its own powerful firepower, felt the confidence of victory.

Yes, but that was before the evil warlocks came

"Shhhh

During the battle, Kael'thas heard the neighing of horses.

[Humans have come? 】

He turned his head in surprise, and his pupils paused.

Above the cliff, several rows of hundreds of burning horses appeared.

In the darkness, these horses, which suddenly appeared in flames, seemed extremely abrupt, not like mortal creatures.

Among the elves on the spot, no one knew better than he what these horses were—horses from hell, warlocks' mounts, graceful and evil horses.

Moreover, the horses' muscular bodies, spikes around their necks, and the horse's hooves and fierce flames indicate that they are the strongest mounts a warlock can summon.

Not a low-level mount

[A group of at least high-level warlocks?] 】

Kael'thas looked at the orcs on horseback, with hoods covering their faces, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"Demonic Breath"

Mephites also looked over there with her head up, a look of obvious disgust on her face.

[What should I do?] 】

Kael'thas never thought that there were so many warlocks here, and Mephites said before that there was no threat here, was it because these warlocks were hiding demonic aura?

Indeed, if the Warlocks hadn't summoned their mounts, Mephites would have only sensed the strength of a few hundred high-level professionals, and would not have thought that they would pose a threat to the elves.

But this is a warlock!

Kael'thas thought back to some of the Warlock's terrifying skills, and was convinced that these hundreds of Warlocks were stronger than the legions of thousands of other professions!

[Can't let them have enough time! 】

Either way, the most important thing now is to take the initiative and never let the warlocks get ahead of the curve.

Kael'thas opened his mouth, his heart suddenly trembling hesitantly, but he still endured this mood, gritted his teeth and gave the order:

"All thieves, go get rid of the orcs on horseback!!"

This is an order that is bound to lose a lot of elves

One put some of his people who loved him dearly

Push the order to death

It was only when the order was actually given that Kael'thas realized for the first time what it meant to be a commander

The commander is the one who destroys the enemy, and at the same time the one who kills his own countrymen.

But he did it anyway, and gave the order without hesitation

When this order was spoken, Kael'thas felt the wind in the distance, and even though the elves were not visible in the darkness, he knew that all the elven thieves were galloping, and without hesitation, obeyed his orders.

[They will die]

Follow the sliding of the wind

Kael'thas knew this in his mind, and many of the thieves who went would die in front of the warlocks.

But this is the best approach at the moment, and for warlocks, thieves are their biggest nemesis.

He couldn't let the Warlock get closer, because the Warlock had a lot of evil spells, even a small area of Dread, which could disrupt the Elves' formation, leaving the scattered Elves buried in the surrounding orc torrent.

In the same way, he can't let the warlock stay far away, because the warlock will summon demons, they can summon demons stronger than themselves, and the long-range fire of the main body is not weaker than that of the mage, which will also deal fatal damage to the High Elves.

Years ago, after a small group of warlocks joined forces to summon legendary demons, Kael'thas made warlocks the most terrifying profession.

So, the only way now is for the thieves to go and deal with the warlock, anyway, the warlock's body is the most vulnerable!

【I'm sorry】

Kael'thas apologized in his heart, and in a trance, he hated his powerlessness a little

"Get out of the way!!"

He felt a tingling in his heart, gritted his teeth, and suddenly reached out and pulled out a long sword from the void, swinging it diagonally, pouring flames from the sky.

"Wow~~"

The flames roared and impacted, and the orcs in front of them turned into flaming human bodies and disappeared into the air.

Flames of destruction!

Kael'thas reflected red light from his eyes, and a purple circle of light walked forward, turning the grass to ash everywhere he went.

“”

The elves were silent, as if they had understood something, and as they increased their firepower, they followed closely.

They want to get to the cave quickly.

Only Mephites sighed as he looked at Kael'thas with some sadness but more joy in his eyes.

[Kael'thas, this is your talent. 】

No matter how painful it is, they will carry out the right orders in special times, and this is the prince they need.

A young prince always needs countless sorrows and experiences to transform into a mature king.

There is no generation of High Elves who spend their lives in plainness and stability.

Although in recent millennia, they have attained relative calm

But no one will blindly believe that their future will be peaceful.

The High Elves, as if cursed by fate, have never been truly happy, their lives are too long

And every elf's long life is always accompanied by sorrow

'Mephites, use this war to let this child grow up'

In my ears, I remembered King Anastarian's advice.

Mephites bowed his head and replied softly:

"I will, Your Majesty"

So

Kael'thas, grow up and be the king we need

"Lord Mephites, depending on the situation, I have to protect the juniors."

Just as Mephites' words to himself fell, an elf man dressed as a ranger and had never been prominent in the ranger group suddenly came.

"You can't help but come out at last, Baron Sangunal."

Mephites looked at the handsome man and laughed.

"But don't worry too much, Valera is also one of the best thieves in the group, and she will be fine."

He also said this because he knew one thing.

While here, Kael'thas secretly gave Valera a scroll, which was made by Mephites, in order to protect the rogue leader who would often carry out missions in the future.

In fact, after this battle, Kael'thas is ready to have the mages cooperate and prepare some scrolls for each thief to protect them.

Unfortunately, it's not ready yet.
