Although he successfully helped Silverton regain control of the Alterac Restoration Force from the Duke of Facurrest, the current situation is still not optimistic.

On the Western Front, Gilneth assisted in the defense, and in such a large-scale legion-level battle, it was impossible for the two sides to separate the winners and losers in a short period of time.

There are too many variables in the battle on the front line of Icewind Hill in the East.

Before the Barov family's privates and Ravenhold thieves converge to take control of the situation, the leaderless syndicates could abandon their defenses at any time and collapse for thousands of miles.

Once Icewind Hill is breached, Stannbride, who temporarily serves as the capital of the nascent Alterac, will face the Knights of the Silver Hand, with unimaginable consequences.

Alex was very angry at the strange things that the two strange sons had done, but there was a priority, and now the Barov family needed to race against time to bring back reinforcements for Etherton, and they had no time to pay attention to Alex, who was still hiding in Andohar.

After a turmoil caused by the espionage war, Barov Castle has been completely under martial law, and only the head of the family, Alex, can personally intervene to open the gate of Lady Yinluxia, who is staying at the castle.

Salaan and Valera jumped off Tinagosa's back, who was still in motion, and let Tina continue on her way to Kelldaron.

Valera lightly borrowed her strength from the nearby tree several times and landed smoothly to the ground.

Sarean's actions were even more simple and brutal, and when he fell vertically to less than 10 meters above the ground, he suddenly launched a heroic leap, jumped with his feet in the air twice, and landed heavily on the ground.

The place where Salian and Valera landed is on the right side of the Icewind Gang fort.

According to the information provided by the barrage, this place will be called Remorse Ridge in the future.

Today, Regret Hill is still a thriving village, but due to the recent outbreak of war, the villagers have long since been evacuated by officials in Andorhar and taken back to the town by the bridge that leads directly to the eastern part of Andorhar.

Since the beginning of the war, Mayor Matthew has blocked the eastern bridge and not allowed anyone to come and go.

There is no one in the small village of Remorse, which still retains a lot of life, at least ...... You can't see anyone on the surface.

Valilla landed without any pause, and immediately went into a stealth state, reminding Sarayan in the Soul Link channel.

"Sarjan."

"Well, I feel it too, there are thieves lurking nearby."

The movement of Sarren's landing was quite large, and it would undoubtedly attract the attention of the nearby Lordaeron scouts.

Through Valeera's shared vision, Sarayan could see that she was moving at high speed, quickly catching a thief from a bush.

"Hmm~"

The Lordaeron thief, whose mouth was covered by Valilla from behind, let out only a short snort.

"Scratch!"

In order not to cause the smell of blood, Valera grabbed both of his heads and twisted him violently, breaking his neck.

"The first one, there are 4 left, be careful yourself."

Salam stood still, deliberately taking out a parchment map from the magic package, and pretending to frown and gesturing on the map, as if he had taken the wrong path.

Sarean's performance confused the Lordaeron scouts who couldn't figure out where he came from.

Regardless, anyone who appears in the war zone will be forcibly taken down and sent to the rear to check their identity, not to mention that Salaan is still a High Elf with long ears.

As diplomatic relations between Lordaeron and Quel'Salas continue to deteriorate, it is inevitable that relations between the two peoples will suffer.

At this juncture, a High Elf suddenly appeared near the battlefield, and he knew that there was something wrong with his toes.

The four scouts, plus the one Valera pretended, a total of five people quietly approached Sarren, who was still reading the map.

"Aha~ So I'm here."

When Sarian re-rolled up the map with a beaming face, three of the scouts burst out at the same time, completely blocking Sarren's retreat from three directions.

The fourth? When the other three attacked, he was first broken by Valeera's old trick.

Unhurriedly, Sarean retracted the parchment map into the magic package, and did not move his feet, twisting his upper body in place as if he was drunk.

"What?!"

The seemingly irregular writhing completely dodged the attacks of the trio one after the other, and the dull dagger grazed Sarren's body until it was empty.

Salian smiled and waved to the three people who showed surprise on the other side: "Three good, three of you have worked hard, three goodbye." ”

"Boom!"

Stomping his feet on the ground with force, the small earthquake made the three scouts unsteady on their feet.

Without even drawing his weapon, Saray charged straight between the two scouts, unfurling his two strong arms and striking them at their slender necks.

"Cards!"

A crisp bone cracking sound sounded, and the two people with broken neck bones flew out upside down with painful faces, and they died before they landed.

The last scout was furious and tried to retreat, but it was apparently too late to realize that something was wrong.

"Survey!"

With only one man left, Valeera, who had caught up, didn't think about the smell of blood, and Quircela's changing dagger stabbed through the back of the heart, mercilessly piercing his heart.

"That's it."

After pulling out the dagger, Valeera skillfully flung out the blood stained on the dagger.

"The road has been cleared, and then Barov's reinforcements will not be so easily spotted passing by."

Icewind Hill can be reached directly by land to Keldaron, which Alex will inevitably pass when returning with reinforcements.

Considering the possibility of winning by surprise, it is indeed necessary to check out the hidden dangers along the way in advance.

"Let's go, let's get down to business first."

Salaan and Valera each took out a syndicate of leather armor from their magic packages and put it on their bodies.

The two of them had their striking elven ears tucked up by their hats, and their faces were covered with two black cloth towels.

Without the characteristics of the elves, the appearance of the two immediately changed drastically, and it was difficult for unfamiliar people to recognize them.

The defensive strength of Icewind Hill is mainly concentrated on the main gate of the main road leading to Andorhal, and the defense on the flanks is relatively weak.

Now that the Icewind Gang is in chaos, and the colleagues who appear from the flank and rear are basically not questioned, the answers prepared by Sarean and Valera do not come in handy, and they are directly put into the fortress.

Valera couldn't help but complain: "Just this spy guard...... It deserves to be infiltrated into a sieve by Lordaeron. ”

"Heh~" Sarian lowered his head and chuckled: "Don't ask too much, if Duke Facurrest is still here, the Syndicate's garrison should be higher, but...... Who left them leaderless now? ”

The Syndicate in the fortress did not yet know that their leader, the Duke of Facurrest, had quietly returned to Steinbled.

The morale inside the sentry was somewhat low, but it was still some way from collapse.

As Sarren expected, the average Big-Headed soldier was unaware of the turmoil that had taken place in Stannbride.

The officers in the camp were gathering for a closed-door meeting, and Sarjan had two Lordaeron scouts in his hands, asking to see the camp's interim governor under the pretext of reporting on his mission.

After being held down by the Knights of the Silver Hand for several days, morale was low in the outpost, and a little good news was needed to stimulate the atmosphere.

The soldiers guarding the main tent saw the two human heads that were still dripping blood in Sarean's hands, and immediately entered the tent with a high spirit.

Without questioning, without identification, Salaan and Valilla just blended into the main camp so easily.

As soon as she entered the tent, Valera immediately noticed a pair of men and women who were also masked in black scarves.

Valeera: "It's a coincidence, these two men fought me in the sewers of the ruins of King Alterac before, but I didn't expect them to be high-ranking members of the Syndicate. ”

"Oh?"

Saljan asked through the soul link, "Are you sure it's them?" Isn't there a face towel in the way? ”

"Sure."

Valera glanced at the female thief with relatively soft eyebrows: "The scar on her left eye is too obvious to be recognizable at a glance." ”

The man and woman are the siblings Yuri and Yulia, who had recently returned to Icewind Hill to report on the implementation of their mission.

The task of the two was secretly issued by the Duke of Facurrest and had to be reported directly to him personally.

However, when the siblings returned to the camp, they were unable to see the Duke of Facurest, and were stopped by his lieutenant on the grounds that the Duke needed to rest.

Just as the two siblings were about to ask to see each other the next day, the Syndicate Elite, who had escaped from Stannbride, briefed them on the situation in the rear.

The Duke of Facurrest, who had secretly returned to Steinbride to take charge of the reins, was defeated and captured, and Eater Pierinaud had ascended the throne with the support of a large number of nobles.

Then, the Syndicate leaders who remained at Icewind Hill had a split of opinion due to the change in the situation.

Some people want to put aside the battle and flee into the mountains, some want to kill back to Steinbred and rescue the Duke of Facurest, and some people advocate continuing to hold the sentry post and wait patiently for the messenger of Silverton to come.

As long as they can get official recruitment, these thieves can naturally clear their identities and become a member of the new kingdom of Alterac again.

Yuri and Yulia are the representative figures who advocate defecting to Silverton.
