Kael'thas, who was outside, naturally didn't know what was happening in Quel'Salas.

He took Kalia with him, jumped over the mountains, returned to the Arathi Heights, and walked downward.

On the way, he tried his best to hide the identities of the two, and then actively went to obtain information about the Black Dragon Princess.

The tricky news soon became known that someone had spotted the Dragonman on the Sador Bridge leading to the wetlands in Arashi.

At the same time, I heard that the largest city in Arathi, Fort Riptide, and the capital of the first kingdom of mankind, once appeared in the figure of a black dragon.

All this news shows that today, 2 months later, the Black Dragon Princess is still looking for the two of them in the Arathi Heights.

[Damn, how can she be sure I didn't leave here?] 】

What Kael'thas didn't know was that Onexia had been informed within a few hours of his escape, and then quickly blocked the entire Arathi road, so he was sure that he was still in the Arathi Heights.

She had calculated that the direction of the two of them was facing south, so she didn't bother with Hinterland to the north. Of course, there is also a reason that there is no way to get to Hinterland, and the countless mountains are difficult to block.

Speaking of mountains, though

Kael'thas had a flash of inspiration in his mind, if Onexia can't block the mountains, does that mean she can't block the sea either?

The north and south of the continent are separated, and the Sador Bridge, a huge, dwarven bridge, connects the moats that separate them, and is the only road connecting the north and south continents. However, the ocean on both sides is also navigable, and the distance is not far, and it should be possible to sail directly from the bottom of Arashi, away from the bridge, directly to the top of the wetlands.

[It should be possible, right?] 】

After finding a way, Kael'thas was a little uneasy, and took Kalia to ask some experienced fishermen.

Although it is not known for what purpose the two noble-dressed men wanted to cross the wetlands through the ocean, several fishermen gave a definite answer.

It is possible to paddle to the wetlands by yourself.

However, due to ocean currents and various other influences, it is best to choose the right location.

So for the next few days, Kael'thas took Kalia to find a suitable location.

Finally, on the lower right, on the shores of the Forbidden Sea, leaning to the east, they found a suitable place.

The suitability of this place is not only due to its slow currents, but also to the fact that at night, this place is covered by dense fog, and it is a place to hide from search.

The distance between the Arathi Highlands and the wetland is less than 100 meters, and you can see the scenery from this side, so even if you can't see it, you can get there smoothly.

The two of them made a small wooden boat, and then rested in this place for a while, and only when the night darkened, and long after the darkness had fallen, and the fog gradually covered the entire sea, they exhaled some cool air, quietly pushed the small wooden boat to the ocean, and then rowed towards the wetland.

"Brother Beethoven, is this really not going to be discovered?"

Sitting on the small wooden boat, feeling the calm sea, Kalia asked:

"What if they're on the other side?"

She turned to look over at the wetlands, but the fog blocked her view.

"It doesn't matter, I've already had people try, and there are no dragonmen on the other side."

Kael'thas reassured, then looked up at the Sador Bridge.

It was pitch black, and the visibility of this fog was not high, not to mention the Sadol Bridge, and even the starry sky above was difficult to see.

[Definitely won't be discovered]

He couldn't help but feel relieved and rowed the boat intently.

It's a very close distance, but I don't know why, I paddled for a long time. Just as Kalia was about to break the silence by speaking again, Kael'thas's face suddenly changed, and he made a silent gesture towards her.

[What's wrong?] 】

Kalia closed her mouth and sat cautiously, looking at Kael'thas quizzically.

The latter, however, did not answer her question, paddling lightly with a cautious face, lowering their rowing sounds, and then listening intently to something.

If he wasn't human, but an elf now, Kalia would surely be able to see his pointed ears standing up high.

In the darkness, there was no sound of talking, but Kael'thas heard the familiar sound of rowing.

"Wow" "Wow"

And not one or two, judging by the sound, there should be a very large number.

Was it discovered by the Dragonmen or was it an accidental team?

[But why didn't the team take the Sadol Bridge?] 】

As he thought about it, he had a sense of foreboding.

Ten minutes or so, when he was about to land, although Kael'thas had tried to stay away, he inevitably approached some of the other party's small wooden boats.

However, when he saw the other party's first boat clearly, even if he had already prepared, he couldn't help but open his pupils in surprise at this moment.

Green skin, long fangs

It turned out to be a troll!!

Kael'thas panicked, and he suddenly understood why Hinterland himself had never seen a troll before.

That's right, no matter how careful you are, if you are a lot of trolls out there, you should come across a few.

Unless the number of trolls is greatly reduced!!

[Trolls have made an alliance with the orcs!] 】

Kael'thas quickly came to the conclusion that the trolls they were now encountering were clearly heading south, and driving through the fog proved that they were hiding.

The trolls of Hinterland, who must have been in batches, are sending large numbers of troops to move to the orc tribes in the south.

This alliance was a few years earlier than the original book, and I don't know if it was due to the fact that when Quel'Salas fled, Zujin and the orc gathered together.

But Kael'thas didn't have time to think about that right now.

"Let's go!"

He got up, grabbed Kalia and jumped into the air.

'Flash! ’

The moment he and Kalia vanished, countless sharp spears shot at the boat, sinking it with ease.

"Frost, make a way for me!!"

The figures of the two appeared in the air in the distance, but there were still a few meters from the shore, and the moment they were about to fall into the sea, Kael'thas waved his hand, shedding a large amount of cold breath.

With the sound of "crackling" and "crackling", an ice-covered path appeared on the surface of the sea and reached the shore.

"Kalia!"

Kael'thas shouted to the girl beside him, who answered, and then followed him, landing lightly on the ice and quickly sweeping towards the shore.

The ice trail is not long, and it is an ocean, so it will disappear in a few seconds.

The two of them took advantage of this time to run to the shore, and then ran into the darkness without hesitation.

"Damn!! Send a few people to chase!! Don't reveal your whereabouts!! ”

In the distance, the shrill cry of a troll commander was heard.
