"The Zul'Aman trolls are almost at their most active in this millennium. The gap blown by the traitors has caused a sharp decline in the stability of Bandi Norel. The erosion of the barrier by evil energy is more terrifying than we imagined. "
Grand Magister Rommath read the report in his hand to Kael'thas. Every time he read another sentence, Kael'thas's brows furrowed even more.
"When the Second Orc War broke out, Gul'dan and his tribe also launched an attack on Bandinorel, but their evil energy didn't seem to have much effect that time. If the rune stone hadn't been lost, they wouldn't have been able to Cast magic here." Kael'thas murmured to himself, "It seems that after that incident, Bandy Norel is not as reliable as we thought."
"The Tower of Morning Star has now become a ruin. Except for the bodies of some former members of the Silver Moon Council, we found no valuable clues inside." Rommath put the report away and asked Kael'Sa at the same time. Si reported another situation, "The evil energy explosion almost covered up most of the traces of magic. Our mages have tried their best to restore it, but in the end we still couldn't find their whereabouts."
If the traces of Darkan and his party cannot be determined, then they are like a time bomb, which may cause a more serious disaster at any time. The ruins of the Tower of Morning Star and the severely damaged Bandinorel Barrier are good proofs. .
"Let the Spellbreakers and Farstriders allocate more manpower to search for the whereabouts of those traitors. The stench of evil energy is difficult to hide in the Eversong Forest. There will always be times when they show their feet." Kael'thas thought for a moment. Afterwards, an order was issued, "Ask Lor'themaggar to send men to the southern forest border. The trolls will definitely not miss this opportunity."
Rommath did not retreat immediately after accepting the order. He stood there, hesitated for a while, and asked Kael'thas with some uncertainty, "Your Highness, do we want to seek help from the outside world? If the trolls form an alliance with the traitors, we will The existing manpower may not be able to cope.”
Kael'thas fell silent after hearing this. Although he cut off Quel'Thalas's contact with the outside world during this period to eliminate these rebels, he still knew that the alliance was currently engaged in important military operations and should be very empty internally. , at this juncture, Quel'Thalas, as one of the elders of the Alliance, not only cannot provide help for the expedition, but also reaches out to the Alliance for help...
Rommath probably knew what Kael'thas was thinking, so he just mentioned it before choosing to leave. The final decision had to be left to Kael'thas.
…
"Your Highness, we have sent our best scouts. The news they got is that the trolls have an ancient city in the mountains northeast of East Wilder. The trolls call him Zumashal. Those who The trolls that attacked caravans and villages should have come from there.”
A dwarf griffin knight captain held his helmet and trotted behind Alsace, reporting the news they had learned.
"Zumashal? I know that place. It seems that the trolls' outburst is indeed a premeditated and organized act, not an ordinary robbery." Arthas recalled the ancient map of Lower East Wilder and thought of ancient Ala A troll city marked by the Suo Empire. It should be the closest troll city to human territory.
"Yes, according to our investigation results these days, the trolls seem to be making bigger moves. Their cities are full of soldiers, hunters and war supplies." The dwarf captain wiped the sweat from his forehead, " Judging from my experience, it is enough to launch a large-scale war."
"No matter what, we must closely monitor the movements of the Zumashal trolls, and have the troops stationed near the northern sentry tower be alert and alert to prevent these trolls from entering the land of Lordaeron." Arthas said seriously that although the primary target of these trolls should be Quel'Thalas, they could not rule out that they would choose to attack the human towns by encircling them for reinforcements.
East Wilde is an important food production and commercial trade area for Lordaeron and even the entire Eastern Kingdom. If this area is invaded by trolls, it will not only affect the expeditionary force's material supply, but also cause serious losses to the local residents. .
But the good news is that the trolls have always stayed away from human territory, and they are not as well-informed about the Alliance as they are about Quel'Thalas. They probably don't know that the main force of the Alliance is fighting in the outside world, so they are probably just interested in the east. Wilder launched harassment, just like what happened a few days ago. As for a larger-scale attack, it was undoubtedly too risky a move for the troll who could not figure out the movement of human power.
Zul'jin is an insidious and cunning opponent, but because of this, he will not make any aggressive moves, and there is still great hatred between him and the elves. Rather than provoking ignorant humans and attracting revenge, it is better to knowingly suffer the consequences. Quel'Thalas attacked.
Therefore, compared to the safety of Lordaeron, Arthas was more worried about whether the proud guy Kael'thas would make some stupid moves. In the worst case, it would not only bring disaster to the elves, but I'm afraid the entire northern part of the continent will be in crisis.
Just when Arthas had this idea, he was suddenly stunned for a moment, then dismissed the dwarf captain and walked into his tent alone.
"Arthas, my old friend, although this is not a good time to meet, I want to say that members of the Alliance, allies of Lordaeron, and Quel'Thalas are now facing some crises that are beyond our ability to handle. ." Kael'thas's slightly helpless image lit up in response to the communication orb.
"You can put down the pride of the elves and seek help from outsiders, which is a big improvement. Kyle, when I knew that Sylvanas was exiled by you, I almost thought you were crazy." Arthas said about the advanced The inherent problem of elves has always been a headache, "Tell me, what happened to you, the trolls here just have to hold a few celebrations to celebrate."
"The rebels of the Silver Moon Council secretly hid the power of demons. At the last moment when I led the troops to encircle and suppress those traitors, they summoned a group of demons. Although the power of those demons in Bandin Norel was severely limited and was My soldiers were easily wiped out, but the other party took the opportunity to detonate the souls of those demons. The violent explosion of evil energy destroyed a mage tower and seriously affected the magic network nodes and the large barrier. I am asking people to find a way. The fel contamination was removed as much as possible, but all traces of the traitors have since disappeared."
Is that really the case? With Illidan's temperament, the things he left behind must have nothing to do with him. In other words, those elven traitors may have summoned someone from the top of the Burning Legion. The worst-case scenario is that Illidan left something about the basics. Ergadan's stuff...
Judging from what happened between Kil'jaeden and Illidan, this possibility is not small.
Then this is really a big trouble, Alsace looked thoughtful, "What's the situation with Bendy Norel?"
"Not too optimistic. The violent explosion caused inside was caused by at least one mage who is proficient in arcane magic. They are not familiar with the operating rules of Bandinorel, at least they have some understanding. In addition, the evil energy The special pollution caused more serious damage than the time when Gul'dan stole the rune stone." Kael'thas became increasingly helpless. He was very aware of the embarrassing situation at hand, otherwise he would not have chosen to ask Arthas for help.
Although the two have a good relationship and are relatively good friends, he always feels uncomfortable once he talks as senior leaders of the two countries.
"Let's think about a solution first. You also know that the Alliance has other important matters recently. It is impossible to provide a large number of troops to support you for the time being. It is just to stop the trolls' actions in East Wilder and prevent them from affecting them. Lordaeron has already made me miserable." Arthas explained the current situation to Kael'thas very straightforwardly, "My suggestion is that you first send people to stabilize the defense line, and at the same time, do your best to search for the traitors. Traces can at least create some space and give us enough time to react."
"Of course I want to do this, but I'm afraid those traitors won't give me this time and opportunity." Kael'thas said his most troublesome thing, "Sylvanas is not here, and Farstrider is there again." We have to put a lot of effort into keeping an eye on the trolls, and it will be difficult for my men to track down the former high-ranking elves who know everything about Quel'Thalas."
"You shouldn't have given them the chance to escape to your mage tower in the first place." Arthas struck Kael'thas mercilessly, but what he said was indeed a problem. Catching those rats might be a better solution. The more important issue is guarding against trolls.
After all, they knew most of the damage the trolls could cause, but if they left those traitors alone, it might be possible for Kil'jaeden to descend on the Sunwell tomorrow.
Considering the possible strength of those traitors and their ability to summon demons, even if they are found, it will be difficult for Kael'thas alone to capture them immediately. If they are allowed to escape again, I am afraid it will be difficult to capture them again. Easy.
"In this way, after I arrange the defense work in East Wilder, I will personally bring people to help you. Although I am not that good at hunting, at least I still have a few people who are good at this kind of work."
"Thank you very much, Arthas, and may our friendship last as long as the sun."
Kael'thas, who was far away in Silvermoon City, let out a long sigh of relief. With Alsace's assurance, he felt a little more confident. But just by relaxing like this, the fatigue that he had deliberately suppressed suddenly surged. When he came up, he was about to cast a spell to relieve this fatigue, but the sense of vigilance that followed made him give up this plan.
"It seems that it was used too frequently before." Kael'thas yawned and finally chose to take a nap first.
…
After recalling Valeera, Arthas recalled a second candidate, Nathanos Marris, a human ranger, but unexpectedly he received an "uninvited guest."
"Sylvanas? Nathanos, why did you bring her back with you?"
Arthas questioned his subordinates, making the female ranger quite embarrassed.
"Don't force her, Arthas, I am the one who insists on following her back." Sylvanas stretched out, her graceful figure clearly revealed, "Who told your special envoy not to be vigilant at all? I 'accidentally' read the contents of the secret message."
"Then you are really 'careless', Ranger General," Arthas did not take this seriously. After all, if Sylvanas sincerely wanted to take a peek, few people could guard against it.
"Please note, I am not a ranger general now, I am just a nobody. Oh, and I am still a deserter from the expeditionary force." Sylvanas was really tired of playing hide and seek with those Nagas in Zangarmarsh. The extremely humid climate there and the ubiquitous spores made her quiver moldy.
"I made the decision on my own. Your Highness, Teacher Sylvanas is a great helper, and her strength far exceeds mine." Nathanos took over the responsibility sincerely. After all, if we really want to discuss it, This time Sylvanas was still a soldier under her command.
"It won't happen again." Alsace didn't say anything more, and didn't want to see these two people flirting in front of him. He said a few words and sent them away, and then looked at the other person.
"Tulani, I didn't expect you to want to participate in this operation." Arthas looked at the current diplomatic ambassador, somewhat curious about what drove her to want to participate in a secret pursuit.
"I have dealt with many demons and killed many disgusting demons," Turani explained. "And my people have been taken care of by the alliance, and I have also been recognized by Valanel. Then I I feel like I should do my part for the league.”
"This operation is different from the previous small fights. We may face the high-ranking lords of the Burning Legion directly. Are you ready?" Arthas knew that Turani was a priest rather than a warrior, and the battle was difficult for her. It was not his strong point, so he made sure Turani was prepared again and again.
Turani pursed her lips and looked at Valanel, who was in silence at her waist, and nodded heavily, "I will not escape blindly anymore. This is the fate we must face."
"Very good, then you should make some preparations. We will set off tomorrow." Alsace understood Turani's determination and said nothing more.
"By the way, if we are not here, what will little Fortagan do?" Turani suddenly thought of the girl who behaved very seriously.
"I have made arrangements. Her strength is not bad, but she needs to withstand some actual combat tests. The northern sentry tower may inevitably have friction with a small group of trolls in the future. Those trolls who will be sent out to die by the tribe are not considered. If she's not that powerful, she can even kill several militiamen with pitchforks, so she can practice her skills."
"But her safety -"
"You don't have to worry about that. I sent someone to protect her secretly. Speaking of which, the master assassin can be considered a fellow villager of Arturia."
