"Teacher Cenarius...... Why did you come here in person this time? I remember you saying you were going to talk to the other demigods about the monsters that appeared in my dreams...... Is there a result? ”

Malfurion listened to the conversation between his teacher, Cenarius, the king of the forest, and Arthas until they had a brief pause before asking questions.

"Yes, Malfurion, but there's no need for it now, because ...... Those guys are already in our forest. ”

Cenarius, the king of the forest, looked at his disciple and said in a somewhat serious tone.

"What?"

Malfurion was a little stunned.

"Here's the proof."

With a wave of his hand, the king of the forest, Cenarius, a tree of unknown name burst out of the soil at his feet, and grew rapidly, and soon a huge fruit sprouted from the top of the tree—and when the outer skin of the fruit cracked, a corpse with an unknown slime was thrown to the ground at the feet of Cenarius, the king of the forest.

"Mr. Cenarius, what is this?"

Malfurion asked, surprised—he could probably tell it was an animal's carcass—but he didn't know what it was; Judging by the somewhat mutilated nature of the corpse, Malfurion judged that the creature had been dead for a while, but it was the sap of those plants that prevented the heavy stench from spreading through the woods.

"If you really think about what you just said...... Humans, I think you know what this thing is. ”

Cenarius, the king of the forest, did not answer his disciple's question. Instead, he turned his gaze to Alsace and said in a tone of contemplation.

……

From the moment the corpse had been thrown out by Cenarius, the king of the forest, the expression on Arthas's face had become serious—and he had moved closer to the corpse. He frowned, then sighed.

"Looks like these guys have indeed come into the world...... This is a low-ranking soldier of the Burning Legion, a demon known as the 'Cerberus'...... They are generally not highly intelligent, but they have a unique sense of smell for arcane energy, and are often used as advance troops and scouts for the Burning Legion...... Why is this corpse in your hands, Cenarius? Have they already set foot in your territory? ”

Arthas asked.

"That's right...... Shortly after Malfurion left, a small group of such creatures entered the edge of the woods...... My Oak Keeper thought at first that these were just ugly and strange looking dogs or wolves. Soon, however, they were ferocious in their attack on all living creatures. ”

"The oak keepers caught these ...... You say their name is 'Cerberus'? Well, they caught these Cerberus, but they were sucked up a lot of life by the tentacles on these guys...... Ultimately. The Guardians paid a lot of casualties to eliminate these Cerberus. ”

"When I got the news and rushed there, the battle was over...... The sight of these ugly monsters reminded me of Malfurion's dream...... It was just then that the forest received messages from Malfurion, which I thought might be helpful in corroborating his dreams. That's why I brought it with me...... Is such a terrible thing just a low-ranking soldier in the Burning Legion? ”

Cenarius, the king of the forest, furrowed his brow. asked in a low voice.

"Yes, there are many demons in the Burning Legion that are much more advanced than these Cerberus, such as Doom Guards, Hellfire, Succubus, Voidwalkers...... But I think you'll see them soon—now that Cerberus has appeared, the other demons aren't far off. ”

Arthas nodded.

"But, Mr. Cenarius...... Why do these Cerberus attack our forests? ”

Malfurion stared at the ugly corpse for a long time—something that did resemble a dog in appearance. It's a little lower, though; It had a huge mouth—almost a third of its body—and its sharp teeth were still terrifying even after death; At the top of that huge mouth. A few drooping roots were tangled, and I didn't know what they were used for.

"I don't know...... What do you think, human? ”

Cenarius, King of the Forest, shook his head, then asked Arthas.

"Who knows...... The possibilities are many. Either these low-intelligence demons are sneaking out and wandering around unchecked, or their summoners are experimenting with the power of these demons, or they're looking for something...... But this at least shows that Malfurion's prophecy was not wrong...... If these Cerberus can even run into the forest here...... It's hard for me to imagine how many demons are lurking in your Night Elves' capital called Esarine. ”

Arthas said with some concern - although these Night Elves may seem to have little to do with him, Arthas is a civilized man after all, and he will not remain indifferent to the slaughter of those Night Elves by the Burning Legion - Arthas only hopes that he can prevent this from happening.

"What? That...... What are we waiting for? Teacher Cenarius...... We must get to Esaline as soon as possible...... We need to figure out what really happened there, stop these ugly demons from coming into this world any further, and remind those innocent people to get out of there. ”

When Malfurion heard Arthas's words, he became anxious and hurriedly said to Cenarius, the king of the forest.

"That's too risky, Malfurion...... You know, when you enter Esarin, the other druids and forest guardians can't help you anymore, we don't know what happened there, but it's clear that some of your people have betrayed you...... I've warned you a long time ago that some of the self-proclaimed High Elves are too greedy. ”

Senarius, the king of the forest, stomped lightly on his two front hooves and said with some anger - it is clear that even this god has a history of not being looked down upon by the haughty upper elves.

"Please rest assured, my teacher...... My brother Illidan and the Tyrande priestess are willing to help me, as well as this Mister Arthas from the human kingdom and his fiancée. We kidnapped Master Rafencrest, the owner of Crow Castle, and I think with this corpse it will be easier for us to convince him to help us get into Esaline. And after that...... Mister Arthas knows the Burning Legion well, and I think we'll find a way to stop them. ”

Malfurion said confidently. (To be continued......)
