The High Elves were anxious to feel the border between Hinterland and the Arathi Highlands.

"They're still in the Arathi Heights?"

The news obtained by the elven thieves who were scouting ahead made Kael'thas frown - something was wrong!

From the time he received the news that the orcs and trolls had landed, it took them less than 2 hours to reach the border. However, the other party's centaurs should at least be here, and their first choice should be to disperse into the forest to prevent the High Elves from concentrating on attacking, how could they still stay in the Arathi Heights?

Could it be that their suspicions were wrong? Those green-skinned guys are not going to disperse and infiltrate Hinterland at all?

【Impossible!】 】

Kael'thas quickly shook his head to dispel the idea, there must be some other reason.

He told the team to rest on alert for a while, and then sent the thieves to continue their investigation.

Subsequently, he received a more detailed report.

The first is that the vast majority of the opposing personnel are trolls, and there is no doubt that these trolls who know the forest of Hinterland are the best pathfinders.

However, there were still quite a few orcs there, which made Kael'thas a little worried about whether there were any warlocks among these orcs.

Subsequently, the reason why the troops of this tribe stayed in the Arathi Heights was also clarified.

They are plundering and killing the villages of humans.

"Looks like there's not enough food."

Mephites looked up at the sky, as if recalling something, and said with some melancholy:

"From the middle of the Southern Highway, across the long ocean to get here, the food has long been exhausted."

Orcs and trolls have very few mages, so they have no bread and can only eat food stored in the cabin.

This is a credible answer, and Kael'thas knows that the orcs are very unfamiliar with the sea, and there is no sea in their homeland at all. So most of these guys' current ships are in the past few years, imitating simple ships of humans, crowded with orcs, it would be good to be able to sail, and naturally they can't provide enough food.

Of course, the shipbuilding skills of the trolls are still okay, but in the face of the huge number of orcs, excellent ships should be the first to be provided for naval battles. Unfortunately, those ships are still unable to resist the alliance at sea, and the naval soldiers of Kurtilas have been exterminating fishmen and pirates at sea for generations, and the experience of the two is obviously not at the same level.

"Are they plundering food?"

To make sure, Kael'thas asked the reported elven thief.

"More than that"

The handsome elven thief held two daggers that glowed green, and a look of disgust appeared on his face:

"I saw them kill all the people in those villages, and then after they took away the food, they burned down the villages!"

It was cruel, and it was no wonder he looked like that.

Kael'thas sighed to himself as if he had seen the death of those innocent humans:

"Go and get a few companions ahead of the orcs, and warn the humans in those villages beforehand."

In the end, he couldn't bear it and gave this order.

The human cities of the Arathi Heights are below, but there are still many scattered villages above, and if the orcs are allowed to continue to kill like this, I don't know how many innocent humans will die at their hands.

Of course, that's all Kael'thas can do. He had too few soldiers to help, because if he left the border and scattered to protect humanity, then there would be a big hollow in Hinterland, which would be too dangerous.

"But Your Highness, if we do this, we will cause the orcs to find out! If they find out, it's not good for our plans!! ”

The elven thief was in a hurry, although he sympathized with those humans, but he wanted to destroy the enemy smoothly.

"No, they've noticed it."

Kael'thas shook his head, turned to the forest on the other side, and spoke:

"Valera, is it solved?"

An agile body jumped out of the dense foliage, and it was Valera, who had been secretly guarding the guards.

"Four were solved, and two more escaped."

Holding a blood-dripping dagger, she replied with a hood, her voice as unpleasant as ever.

"Hmm."

Kael'thas nodded, not blaming her, it was good enough to be able to kill four spies. It doesn't matter if the two who let them go, their news must have been passed on a long time ago anyway, and the escape of these two people will not add any threat.

"So, they've already found out about us."

Kael'thas continued to say to the elven thieves that he had no intention of hiding such a large team:

"We need to speed up now, before they make a move!"

"Yes!"

The elven thief nodded, and left.

Moments later, after receiving the rest of the news, convinced that there were no other enemies or traps around, and that there was only one unit, Kael'thas led the elves towards the team.

"Your Highness!"

However, they didn't go for a few minutes when a new piece of news arrived.

"That troop is scattered, two of the orc squads of several hundred people are quickly encircling us from the side, and there are still 4 teams of nearly a thousand trolls scattered outside!!"

Some nervous elven thieves appeared at the front of the group, reporting to Kael'thas.

What worries the latter the most has happened

Sensing the danger, the orcs and trolls stopped their preparations for plundering in time and decided to disperse, and the two hundred-strong squads were clearly used to sacrifice the time they had gained!

A team of nearly 4,000 people, if you really let them go around, it will be troublesome.

"Speed up!!"

Kael'thas shouted, leading the elves and running quickly.

He was thinking quickly about how he could change the situation, and before that, he could only speed up his attack and break through them one by one while the troops were not too far away.

"Which unit is their commander in!?"

As he ran, Kael'thas continued.

He decided to be the first to rush to the team of the commander of that unit, and the two squads could be left alone, and directly take them to the team of 1,000 people and solve them together!

"Not in any team!"

The elven thief, who knew the information, replied immediately, with a little doubt on his face when he said it.

"What!?"

Kael'thas was taken aback:

"Not in those big teams?"

"Yes, we specifically confirmed those teams, and there are no commanders!"

The elven thief replied.

"Have you confirmed those two squads?"

Kael'thas continued to ask.

"I've confirmed, and I haven't seen anyone dressed similarly, but I'm not sure, because it's hard to tell what orcs look like!"

The elven thief replied in a tangled manner, and then continued:

"Your Highness, those two teams don't need to be confirmed, right? How could there be a commander who sent himself to his death? ”

[Their commander is an orc!? 】

Kael'thas was stunned

[Could it be]

There won't be such a foolish commander

With a hint of suspicion in his heart, he hurriedly continued to let people report all the intelligence.
