"Thanks."
The female elf took the hot milk Alsace gave her and thanked her gently. She held the milk cup with both hands, her bandaged hands trembling slightly.
"I am Liana Chenyu, a Druid apprentice." Liana's eyes revealed a sad meaning, "Before our village was attacked, my teacher and I were treating the injured. Sentinel."
"But they suddenly appeared, venting their violent and evil anger, and easily broke through the sentinels' defense line. We didn't even have time to react..."
There was a trace of fear in Liana's voice. She was very young among the elves and had not experienced the bloody wars of the night elves in ancient times.
Therefore, she seemed very fragile and helpless in the face of this sudden disaster.
Liana put down the milk cup and tightly grasped the corners of her clothes with her slender palms. Recalling the scene at that time was too cruel for an elf girl with no war experience.
"After my teacher used druid magic to protect me and the wounded, he went to fend off those terrible monsters, but he..."
At this point, tears flowed from the corners of Liana's eyes. She quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands, but her voice trembled and she could no longer speak.
Jaina gently patted the druid apprentice's back and looked at Arthas with a little sympathy and pity in her eyes, "Alsace, she is too sad and can't control her emotions. "
After leaving Liana to rest alone in the room, Arthas and Jaina retreated. Jaina sighed, "According to what the scouts said, all the living people in the village may be here."
"His teacher used a sleeping spell to protect her, which shows that he had already guessed the outcome before he left." Arthas leaned against the wall. "It seems that the orcs attacked the elves."
"Orcs? But... according to the previous reports of our scouts, the orcs are no match for the elves." Jaina was puzzled by this.
Arthas just asked, "When was the last time there was information about the fight between elves and orcs?"
"About a week ago, after the conflict between the elves and the orcs became intense and both sides sent more scouts, Varian and I withdrew all our people and only stayed to watch from a distance."
Jaina's approach is understandable. They don't want to be involved in a trouble at this time. Moreover, the tauren's statement and the situation of the Alliance scouts indicate that as long as they do not harm the elven territory, the night elves in Ashenvale will It will not actively attack travelers in the Ashen Valley.
"Then something must have happened within this week. Did you think of anything when you saw the injuries of the elves and the fate of the village?" Arthas asked.
"What comes to mind? It's obviously the style of the orcs, but other than that, nothing else."
Jaina had read a lot of records about the First and Second Orc Wars, and she had a certain understanding of the ways of the Orcs, but Arthas asked her to talk about something else, and she really couldn't find it.
Arthas gave a hint, "When the Warsong clan plundered the Tirisfal Glades, they were able to bully the local militia. When they encountered the regular First Legion, they could only run away. Why did they suddenly fall into a mess now?" , even dare to counterattack the elves’ territory?”
These words made Jaina's expression become confused. She also noticed that something was wrong, but she couldn't find it. She murmured, "Orc...wrath..."
Several key words connected in her mind, her beautiful eyes lit up, and she finally thought of the question that Arthas was interested in, "You mean, the red orc before he was captured?!"
The green skin of the orcs is not something they are born with. Especially in the early days of the first war, most of the orcs' skin color was blood red. They exuded a violent and evil aura. They could hardly feel pain and were stronger than the others. The orcs that were captured later were much larger.
At first, humans thought that red was the normal skin color of orcs, but the gradual appearance of green orcs made human mages notice the problem. In experiments on orcs, they concluded that the red skin of orcs is not born, but is affected by something. The stimulation of this kind of magic produces the color of skin in a state of rage.
Later, more and more orcs turned green and suffered from continued weakness and depression, making this theory more accepted by the public.
The elf's statement is not consistent with the orc records after the Second War. Instead, it is more like the "violent orcs" in the early days of the first war.
Grommash is not a leader who only has bravery but no brains, otherwise he would have been captured by the First Legion.
This orc is actually quite cunning. Maybe he is not as capable as Orgrim to lead an entire tribe, but as the chief of the tribe, his ability is definitely outstanding.
Rushing recklessly into the hinterland of the elves seems to be a reasonable move for the orcs, but Jaina, who has studied the orcs for many years with her teacher Antonidas, knows that the orcs are much smarter than most humans think, and their wisdom and strategies are not the same. Not under human beings.
Therefore, the reason that caused the orcs of the Warsong clan to riot was probably the reason that caused the orcs to be violent and bloodthirsty in World War I.
After thinking about this, Jaina couldn't help but worry again. If this was really the case... it would mean that some unknown existence had arrived in Azeroth.
"I'm afraid the truth is similar to what we thought." Alsace's eyes were a little dazed, as if his attention was not focused on the current topic.
While the two were talking about what might happen in the Ashen Valley, a cry of surprise suddenly came from Liana's room.
Without thinking, Arthas pushed the door open and walked in. A war hammer composed of holy light was directly condensed in his hand. Pure light popped out of the war hammer from time to time like electricity.
And a light blue halo flashed in Jaina's eyes, obviously the magic power was ready to launch an overwhelming magic attack at any time.
However, the assassins, moles and spies that the two expected did not appear. Liana fell to the ground alone, and the milk on the table was spilled.
"What happened?" Arthas walked over and helped Liana up.
Liana looked very panicked, like a child who had lost the protection of her parents, "I...I just suddenly felt that my connection with the forest was cut off...I...I can't feel the call of nature anymore." …”
The moment the elf's words ended, Alsace's soul perception felt touched. Without much thought, he broke through the barrier of reality and entered the soul's field of vision.
At this moment, he felt that even the woods in Dustwallow Swamp exuded a vague sense of sadness, as if the entire forest was mourning for something.
The natural balance was temporarily disrupted at this moment! No wonder Liana couldn't sense the power of nature. Alsace figured out the real problem almost instantly!
