"The orcs are retreating!"

Standing on the watchtower's outpost covered in smoke and corpses, Danas. Thorbain held the telescope with a black and gray face, and in the vision of the pulled god, he could clearly see that the orcs who were used like a tide were slowly withdrawing from their positions, the wolf knights were cruising around the perimeter to prevent the counterattack of the Alliance defenders, and the orc infantry was retreating in the direction of the Dark Gate under the leadership of the Overseer.

"It's not normal!"

Danas put down his binoculars and said to Tulayan, the leader of the paladins beside him:

"The orcs have an absolute advantage, they even retreat in an orderly manner, what the hell are they doing!"

"I don't know!"

Tulayan's silver armor was stained with blood and disgusting shredded flesh, and after learning of the reopening of the Dark Gate, with the help of the mages, he and his paladins were almost the first forces to arrive at the Watch Fortress to support.

And in these 5 days of confrontation, he rushed into the orc's position with the paladin more than once, even with the protection of the holy light, he was already very tired, and the pain from his soul would always make him a little unbearable.

Seeing the retreat of the orcs in front of him, Tulayan put down the long sword in his hand with difficulty, leaned against the stone of the sentry, and let out a sigh:

"Maybe it's the arrival of reinforcements from Stormwind that has made the orcs feel frustrated, after all, there aren't many of them this time."

"No, it's not."

Danas shook his head:

"The army from Stormwind City is only 5,000 people, which is not enough to make the orcs feel afraid, not to mention, they only divided a third of the army to besiege the Watchtower, and the rest are burning and looting in the Valley of Thorns, it seems that they are raising supplies, and the orcs of the Black Stone Tower in the north have frequent contact with these orcs... If you want me to say, this is certainly a sign of the next full-scale invasion! ”

"A full-scale invasion? Impossible! ”

Tulayan shook his head in denial:

"Orgrim's 150,000 orc army has been routed under our attack, even with the addition of the Bloodring Orcs and Blackstone Orcs, how many more troops can they mobilize? Thirty thousand? Fifty thousand? This is something that the orcs can't threaten... What's more, haven't the reinforcements from Northern Xinjiang already set off? ”

"Huh"

A crimson shadow climbed up the sentry post with great dexterity, this was a young High Elf, but unlike the other elves, he was wearing a set of red plate armor, carrying a heavy sword on his back, and the shining deed on his chest represented his identity.

This is a unique and rare... High Elf Paladin.

He has short blond hair, the handsomeness and slenderness of the High Elves, and the green eyes are very eye-catching, frankly speaking, this is a young man who can attract the attention of a girl, and his appearance is 5 points similar to Tyrion, especially when those eyes are provoked, it is exactly the same as Tyrion.

"General Danas, the orcs besieging the Swamp of Sorrows outpost have also retreated, Captain Aurelia asked you if you would like to send scouts to follow you?"

"Pie! Be sure to figure out what the hell they're up to! ”

Danas shook his hand, the elven paladin agreed, turned around and left the sentry post, looking at the back of the paladin, Danas asked in a low voice:

"That's the one?"

"Yes!"

Tulayama leaned against the stone and closed his eyes to recuperate, and he whispered:

"Myla. Dawn Blade, originally a promising mage, but lost his lover in the orc invasion, so he resolutely joined the Silver Hand and became a rare elven paladin, a side branch of the Dawn Blade family, genealogically speaking, he is Tyrion. Dawnblade's cousin and one of his few relatives. ”

"A cousin, an ex-girlfriend, and former comrades-in-arms and brothers... What did the High Elves want to do when they sent such an expedition? ”

Danas took a sip of saliva, rubbed his forehead and whispered:

"Do these psychotic elves still believe that the butcher still has feelings? Such a team, if one is not careful, will be eaten by the death knight with a belt..."

"It's hard to say if Tyrion has feelings."

At the mention of that name, Tulayan's fingers couldn't help but clench the hilt of the sword, and he breathed a sigh of relief to calm his emotions, and he whispered:

"According to the High Elves, Tyrion played a very special role in the Battle of Quel'Thalas, and it was precisely because of his activities that the originally dominant tribe was pulled into a trap, which directly led to the offensive and defensive dislocation of the Battle of Quel'Thalas, allowing the elves to win faster, but this man's behavior was very strange and there was no logic at all... I can't forgive him just for the kidnapping of Marshal Lothar! ”

"But Tulayan, have you ever thought about something..."

Danas hesitated, but he finally said:

"I didn't witness the battle with my own eyes, but when I was drinking with Her Majesty Dareen after the war, I heard His Majesty say that if it weren't for Tyrion's intervention, Marshal Lothar would probably have died at the hands of Orgrim... Although his motives are unknown, and I don't believe that he was trying to save the marshal, what he did allow the marshal to pick up a life... By the way, have you heard that gossip? ”

"What?"

When Tulayan looked up, he saw Danas lower his voice and whispered:

"It has been said that Marshal Lothar was present in Alwyn Forest... He was seen the other night before. ”

"What you said is true?"

Tulayan's face flashed with surprise, for the paladin, Marshal Lothar was not just a boss, but more like his elder and mentor, almost hand-in-hand transformed him from a rookie paladin into a qualified general.

"I've heard from those MI7 agents, maybe it's just a lie, but no one can verify it, but we have to think about the good in everything, right?"

"Two generals!"

While Danas and Tulayan were chatting, the herald came up quickly and said in a deep voice:

"Mage Khadgar has held a meeting on the movements of the orcs in the Mage Tower, please go as fast as possible!"

After 10 minutes, the general, who had changed into a suit of armor, walked into the mage tower, and in the hall on the second floor, the commanders of the Watch Fort and the front line were already sitting at the conference table, Tulayan pulled out his chair and saw Aurelia beside him, he wanted to say hello to the beautiful ranger, but seeing Aurelia's indifferent face, the paladin gave up this plan.

From the current point of view, the possibility of him being favored by Aurelia is completely gone.

"Huh"

After everyone was seated, a purple light danced through the hall, and Khadgar's body walked out of it, and the archmage also looked tired, he had led the mages of the Watch Fortress to contact the troubles caused by the orcs more than once during the few days of siege.

"Everyone is here, so I won't talk nonsense."

Khadgar walked to the front of the conference table, and suddenly pulled open the map of the continent on the wall, and pointed to the region of the northern frontier with an ugly face, and said to the others:

"Everyone must be wondering why the orcs chose to withdraw when they had absolute superiority... Let me find out, when the eyes of the world were drawn to the Orcs on the battlefield of the Cursed Lands, the Orcs sent an elite to raid Alterac and Dalaran. ”

Khadgar's news changed the faces of everyone in attendance, and he turned around and looked at the expressions of the others, revealing a wry smile:

"Yes, we were deceived by the orcs... The greenskins were smart, the city of Alterac was destroyed by fire, Dalaran was badly damaged, and most importantly, they didn't just do it for revenge, they had a clear strategic purpose, they had two magical items with a powerful threat that they had snatched, and they also broke into the Karazan Mage Tower on the upwind trail, taking the same dangerous item with them. ”

The Archmage took a deep breath, he looked at everyone's searching gazes, and he whispered:

"We're in trouble, guys."

"What did the orcs steal?"

As a member of the Quel'Salas Expedition, Lord of the Silvermoon City Rangers, Lotherma. Theron asked coldly:

"Is it a magical item of mass destruction?"

"Nope! It's scarier than that! ”

Khadgar sat down in his chair, picked up the glass of water, and poured saliva to moisten his thirsty throat, and then explained:

"The Book of Medivan, the Eye of Dalaran, and the Staff of Sargeras, none of these three things are aggressive, not aggressive at all, but that book contains all the spells of the Mag Medivan, including the way the Dark Gate is constructed, and the Eye of Dalaran provides a huge amount of magical power, and as for the Scepter of Sargeras... Unfortunately, that staff is the highest teleportation artifact designed to break through the boundaries of the world. ”

"So, what does that mean?"

Hammer Griffin Knight Kudran. Brute Hammer scratched his hair and looked at Khadgar with a puzzled expression:

"What the hell are these three things capable of?"

The dwarves were disgusted with magic and anything related to magic, so Kudran didn't understand that this danger was normal, and after listening to Khadgar's description, Aurelia stood up with a slurp, as a ranger who grew up in Quel'Thalas, she knew very well what Khadgar's description meant, she stared at the archmage deadly, and said in a silent voice:

"Orcs... Are they ready to open a second dark door? ”

"This is the worst-case scenario."

Khadgar sighed:

"If the orcs really intend to do that, then there is no doubt that the obstruction of space has become a joke in front of them, and no one knows where the next dark portal will open... Maybe it's Dalaran, maybe it's Lordaeron... Perhaps, it was Quel'Thalas, no one knew, that they would become more dangerous and deadly, and all our defenses would be completely dismantled under this space leapfrog tactic, and we would only be beaten passively. ”

Khadgar's description of the terrifying future caused the professional soldiers to clench their fists, and General Danas's fist slammed on the table, and he shouted:

"They are wishful thinking! I'll organize the army at once, and we'll go and get those three things back!" The second dark door must not be allowed to open again! ”

"Quel'Salas wants to join the action!"

"The Silver Hand obeys orders!"

"Hammer dwarves... Uh, it doesn't quite understand, but it sounds scary, so let's join in! ”

Khadgar shook his head at the agitated commanders, and he said in a deep voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen! Calm down... We don't have the strength to counterattack now, not yet! The Council of Six has sent an elite army of battle mages, and the knights of Lordaeron are also on their way, MI7 is willing to cooperate with us, but any action will not be carried out until we have enough strength! ”

"Besides, I have a proposal."

Khadgar stood up, he reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, he glanced at the commanders in front of him, and he said in a deep voice:

"The reopening of the Dark Gate this time was beyond everyone's expectations, although it did not destroy the world order that was established with great difficulty, but it exposed a very critical problem, the Dark Gate is a two-way street, it is not enough to destroy the Dark Gate on the side of Azeroth, this invasion proves that the orcs can reopen the door from the other side at any time if they want to."

"The initiative in the war is in their hands, it is unbearable ... So, in addition to recovering the artifact, we must venture into Draeno and destroy the Dark Gate on the other side... Only in this way can the threat of the orcs to Azeroth be completely cut off. ”

Khadgar hesitated, but only for a moment, and the hesitation in his eyes flashed:

"I volunteered to join it, and I will cross the dark door and put an end to this crisis once and for all! My mentor Medivan caused all of this, and it's my responsibility to put an end to it! ”

"Well done! Khadgar, you're a man, I'd like to go with you! ”

Kudran. Brute Hammer patted his chest, stood on a chair, waved the wine bottle in his hand, and shouted: "Brute Hammer and heroes are together!" ”

"Khadgar! Have you really thought about it? ”

General Danas's expression became serious, he looked at Khadgar, and asked in a deep voice:

"You may not be able to come back, or worse, you may die quietly in the opposite world, no one knows what that world is like, maybe after you pass, you will meet orcs who are fully armed and waiting to cut off your skull, this is too risky!"

"But somebody has to do it..."

Khadgar stroked the Staff of the Guardian in his hand, and he whispered:

"Someone has to make sacrifices, there has to be someone to bathe in blood, and instead of giving it to others, I should do it myself..."

He looked up, and a difficult smile appeared on his pale face:

"Don't be so pessimistic, maybe I'll come back smoothly, not to mention, I've always been interested in the world of Draenor."

The smile was contagious to all, and after a brief silence, Tulayan stood up and held out his hand towards Khadgar:

"You're the first mage I admire, Khadgar, and I'm willing to go with you! I propose, in the name of Marshal Lothar, that today we will be true brothers, sons of Lothar ... We will give everything we have for the world! ”

"What a terrible name, but honestly, how can you be in the limelight alone!"

Danas shook his fist, "Khadgar saved me from the orcs, and I owe him my life!" ”

Aurelia also stood up, she looked at Khadgar, leaned over, and whispered:

"We admire the courage of humanity, and you have proved that you and your ancestors are a noble character... I'll be joining in on the action, on behalf of Quel'Thalas! ”

"Lady Aurelia, you don't need to do this!"

Khadgar whispered, "This is the men's war..."

"No!"

Aurelia's fists clenched, and she stubbornly said:

"I have to go to that world, I have something to do!"
