The elven army quickly retreated, and the quick-moving demons pursued them all the way. A group of blocking demons also appeared in the south, causing the elves to retreat to the west. In the end, the higher-ups decided to cross the Raging River and retreat to the Ashen Valley, where the Night Elves were well suited to fighting in the forest. The tall trees of the ash valley can be called a natural defense.

But the demons also move quickly, and a large group of demons are always in pursuit. The elven archers used their advantage in the Ashen Valley, using the trees and difficult terrain to fight and retreat, causing the demons to suffer heavy losses. But half a month later, the elves were forced to retreat to the vicinity of Falling Star Lake.

It was once the base of the Night Elves during the Troll Wars, and it was here that the Night Elves won their first victory. Laying the foundation for the later destruction of the Troll Empire, Moon Shadow began to miss the powerful mage force of Kadore, with which the demonic tactics could no longer suppress them. It's a pity that that the army only belongs to the upper elves, and now it has even become the opposite. The demons were in hot pursuit, and they had to retreat.

However, there are now two routes, one of which is to retreat north through Felwood and Winterspring Valley to the Holy Mountain of Hyjal. The other is to retreat westward to the Black Sea. The walls of Moon Shadow City are very strong, and the physical defense of the city walls alone is much stronger than that of Black Crow Keep, and the Moon Shadow has been improved many times over the thousands of years, so that Moon Shadow City has a powerful magic barrier. This made the elves think that withdrawing to the Moon Shadow was the best choice, but in fact, the Moon Shadow himself did not want this, everyone was selfish, and the Moon Shadow City was his foundation. There are still a large number of non-combat personnel in the city, and retreating to Moon Shadow City is undoubtedly bringing the flames of war there.

But he couldn't deny that retreating to Moon Shadows was far safer than Hyjal Yam. In the end, the army was unanimously withdrawn to Moon Shadow City, and after many battles, the 300,000 rebel army was greatly reduced, and there were less than 200,000 left. However, these soldiers have all accepted the baptism of war, and the survivors are the elite of the elite, and their combat effectiveness far exceeds that of ordinary soldiers.

There are two things that must be done before retreating, one is to inform Astrana on the way west to let them evacuate early. The other is to inform the dryad sisters next to Nightpath Valley, after all, they are both sons of Cenarius, and Lilith and Alice seem to be in Ashenvale.

Sent to inform the Dryad sisters was Malfurion, a proud disciple of Cenarius who was more able to speak when he went. Malfurion returned three days later, but he also brought with him the Dryad Sisters, who were ready to cooperate with the elven army to defend their forest. Moon Shadow rushes to meet his new allies, and soon he finds Alice and Sister Lilith among the Dryad Sisters. Lunaris had always considered Lilith his sister, and the first face he remembered seeing was this mischievous dryad. Leading the dryads was their eldest sister, Harania, who greeted her in the Moonshadow Bowler and smiled at Lilith.

Lilith pursed her lips and turned her head to look away, as if she didn't know Moonshadow. Moon Shadow couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said secretly, "Female creatures really hold grudges, it's been almost a thousand years!! Thinking so in my heart, I still squeezed out a smile on my face, and said with a smile: "Long time no see!" Lilith. ”

"Who are you? I don't know any bastards who don't say goodbye, you recognize the wrong person, I'm not the dryad you're looking for. Lilith wrinkled her nose and continued to ignore Moon Shadow, causing her to be embarrassed. Illidan and Tyrande couldn't help but laugh.

"Guess who I am? There's a reward for guessing! Two small hands suddenly covered Moon Shadow's eyes, and there was a banter in her voice.

"It's Alice, right? Can you open my eyes now? "Moon Shadow doesn't have to guess, she's the only one around who dares to do that. Although the dryads are very active, Alice is indeed the most dynamic dryad that Lunara has ever seen. Always full of sunshine and energy.

"Alas, guessed so quickly!" Alice let go of Moon Shadow's eyes with a burst of excitement. "I'm going to give you a reward!" As she spoke, she grabbed Moon Shadow's face and kissed him lightly on the forehead, touching Moon Shadow's ear by the way. said, "It feels so good!" Moon Shadow couldn't help but blush on his face, and the elves around him couldn't help but be stunned, knowing that touching his ears in the elves was a sign of courtship. The elves couldn't help but reverie.

"It's so lively, won't you introduce me? Leader!! Mavi smiled and appeared at the side of Moon Shadow, who couldn't help but feel a cold vest and a dagger against the back of her heart. This seems to mean that if you don't give me an explanation, I'll give you a heart-warming treat. Some time ago, Mavi was assigned to the logistics supply team by Moon Shadow and has been in charge of logistics. This is a more important position, of course, the main thing is that it is less dangerous.

"This is Lilith, I told you." Moon Shadow pointed at Lilith and introduced to Mavi.

"You're the sister that Moon Shadow has always said! I'm Mavi. It's an honor to meet you. Mavi politely went up to greet Lilith.

"Oh, he really keeps talking about me?" After Lilith listened to Mavi's words, Lilith's face was obviously a little happy. The two soon became talking and laughing, as if they had known each other for thousands of years. Alice leaned next to the two of them, seemingly eager to join in the conversation, but they were both talking about the Moon Shadow, and she couldn't interject.

"Are you Lunaris's spouse?" Alice looked at Mavi and asked curiously. As soon as these words came out, Moon Shadow and Mavi blushed, and Illidan looked at Moon Shadow with a wicked smile and a playful expression.

"This." Mavi was angry and didn't know how to explain it.

"Isn't it? I didn't find the buck, so I grabbed him back and kept her by my side. Alice squeezed her fist and said excitedly. Ah! Why are you hitting me? Lilith was speechless for a while, and gave him a burst directly. Alice clutched her head and looked at Lilith angrily.

"Stop messing around." Harania also knocked Alice on the head, with love in her eyes. Alice is the youngest of all the dryads and is very much loved by the other sisters.

In the tent, Rafencrest is discussing something with some other elven lords.

"Maybe we wasted a good opportunity when we shouldn't have retreated. With Cenarius in check, we should go into Esaline in one go. In that case, maybe we'd already winn. Stareye took a pinch of powder out of his pocket and sucked it in through one nostril, he was the lord of a tribe of elves.

"Perhaps, Desdale. Water under the bridge. Rafincrest shook his head.

The two elven officers stood one after another in the tent with the other lords, discussing the course of action to stop the rout and retreat. Stareye believes that Moon Shadow's decision was wrong, and that the elven army should not retreat when the enemy is no longer able to resist the defeat of the entire line.

"The soldiers are fighting to the death," responded one of the high-ranking officials, who had recommended Moonshadow as the leader of the Resistance. "But they are all flesh and blood, and they are very tired, so a rest is necessary. And Cenarius may not be able to win the demon named Akmund. ”

"That's true," said the Lord of Crow, who couldn't agree more with the higher-up, "the soldiers stop for a bite to eat and get some sleep, and the question is no longer to be argued." Next, let's wait for the leader to come and discuss what to do next. ”

"Kill Essarine, of course!" Star-Eye shrieked, "We must save Empress Azhara!" ”

The rest of the Elven Lords echoed, and Crassus frowned and said nothing. He had discussed this with them before they came, and all the elves believed that their empress had been imprisoned by demons. Furthermore, Esaline City is also the entrance to the Burning Legion's entry into the continent of Kalimdor, so discussing a change in the route of the march is a matter of pure rhetoric. In any case, the capital will always be recaptured.

From time to time, Moon Shadow entered the military tent, and he was followed by Crassus. Lunaris sat on the throne, and they stood on either side of Moon Shadow.

"Leader, I wonder how many people the dryad has come to help?" Rafincrest was still concerned about this matter.

"There are less than two hundred in total." Malfurion replied to Moon Shadow.

"So little! What's the use. One of the lords sighed.

"These dryads are very familiar with the forest, and they will be of great help to us in both retreat and attack." Moon Shadow explained lightly.

"Actually, you should consider my proposal. If the dryad can help us, why can't the other races? Calassus said, looking at the Moon Shadow.

"You're calling for help from the dwarves and other races." At the mention of this, all the elves couldn't help but have a sneering expression on their faces.

"At a time like this, the dwarves, minotaurs, and other races must be fighting the Burning Legion. Although there is a glimmer of hope of winning by acting separately, if all races are united, the capture of Aisaline is naturally just around the corner, and countless lives can be saved. Crassus insisted.

Rafincrest frowned and said, "Master Crassus, thank you for your advice. I discussed this with the leader in Surama, and you are not us, so you do not know the most basic facts. Even if we were hot-headed and made the decision to ask the dwarves and minotaurs for help, do you really believe that they would come to their aid? They don't trust us, just as we don't trust them! So even if they join us, do you think we'll be able to fight side by side? ”

"The dwarves are likely to turn against us," Stareye interjected, "and their greed is evident. They'll just come and grab our stuff and run back into their holes. ”

Another officer also said: "Those minotaurs, in addition to dealing with foreigners, also like to fight each other. They are simple-minded and a total pack of beasts! And this state of confusion of theirs may also affect our troops. If we add chaos to the chaos like this, we really have no chance of winning in the face of the demon army. ”
