Rise of the blood elves

220【Everyone’s decision】

Upon seeing this owl, the silence in the tree hole was immediately broken.

The orcs began to gear up, and several sleepy night elves also picked up the weapons placed aside. Ronin glanced at Jaina and Angmar, nodded to each other, and a look of solemnity flashed in his eyes, waking up his meditation. The mages in.

Everyone has been hiding in this tree hole for several hours, waiting for the watchers and shadow hunters who went out to perform reconnaissance missions to bring back news.There is no way, under the cover of evil energy, there are many uncertain factors in the detection spell, and there is also the risk of exposure. In the end, it is better to see it and believe it.

The key is that this "eye" must have enough insight to see through the devil's disguise, and it must also be invisible to the devil with keen senses.Fortunately, Watchers and Shadowhunters are up to the task.

The former's task is to identify whether this is a trap by the devil, while the latter will go behind the devil to find out if there is an army of devils hidden in the forest, so as to prevent the team from being surrounded after launching an attack.

According to the original agreement, the owl hovered for two and a half weeks, which meant that this was not a trap, and the demons knew nothing about their arrival.

In a soft and sweet sound, the owl flapped its wings, and bursts of starlight fell from it.

Maiev is truly talented.

During her 1-year watch career, she found a unique path and carried it forward, giving the word "watcher" a new meaning.

It is no longer a simple jailer organization that monitors the most heinous criminals and demons among the night elves, but has become a general term for a group of professionals who know how to skillfully use shadow, magic and other means, and are good at tracking and control.

Precisely because Maiev is the leader of the Watchers, with such a high reputation, people tend to overlook the fact that she was once a Priestess of the Moon.

As early as 1 years ago, she was a highly qualified priestess among the priests of Elune.Although due to her paranoia and personality, she gradually lost Elune's favor and could no longer rely on the power of moonlight to treat others as before, she still had some basic priestess spells at her fingertips.

For example, this magical owl is usually used for detection and communication.

After a while, Rokan also emerged from the shadows, passed through the magic barrier, and walked into the tree hole.

Without saying a word, the shadow hunter greeted everyone, picked up a branch, and wrote on the ground while saying: "I went around the perimeter and went to all the places I could go. The number of demons is about Around [-] are mainly concentrated in the core area.”

As his fingers moved, a simple map of the beast's den appeared on the ground.

The location where everyone is located is a depression with high surroundings and low center. At the bottom of the depression is the entrance to the cave where the Druid once slept. The Skull of Gul'dan is located outside the entrance to the cave.The reason why the demon chose to use the Skull of Gul'dan here is, on the one hand, because it is the center of southern Felwood, making it easier to spread corruption to the entire forest. On the other hand, it is hidden enough that ordinary detection spells can be used here. , absolutely cannot be found here.

It's just that the Burning Legion would not have thought that a traitor would emerge from the Legion and betray the exact location of Gul'dan's Skull to the Hyjal coalition.

"There are demon guards patrolling the ground, and doomsday guards often hover in the air. The security is quite tight. I also saw some guys who looked like high-level demons. Their skin was reddish brown and covered with evil abscesses. There are bony plates on the forehead, and some even have double horns on the head. There are tendrils hanging from the chin, the knees are recurved, and the feet are like hoofed animals, but they can walk upright."

Man Ariangma in the Eredar thought to himself.

The Draenei wandering the universe are members of the Eredar race.

The Eredar once lived on the beautiful planet Argus. They were a highly civilized race in the Endless End. They had an extremely long life and their research on holy light and magic far surpassed that of Azeroth for many generations. , can almost be said to be the most advanced race in the visible universe.

Unfortunately, it was precisely because of this that the Dark Titan Sargeras became interested.Under his bewitchment, Archimonde and Kil'jaeden led most of their tribesmen to defect to the evil Burning Legion and became "Man'ari" in the Eredar language, meaning the Fallen.

However, outsiders rarely call them "Man'ari", but continue to refer to these guys who became demons in the name of Eredar.

The prophet Velen, who is also one of the three leaders, noticed Sargeras' lies in advance due to the revelation of the Naaru, rescued some tribesmen, and escaped from Argus on the Naaru's spaceship.From then on, this part of the Eredar people began to call themselves "Draenei" which means "self-exile" in the Eredar language.

Among the Burning Legion, except for those Eredar who have no magical talent and have become angry guards with strong melee capabilities, most of the remaining spellcasters are often middle- and high-level officers, conspirators, and outstanding commanders.

"They are all terrible spellcasters, and their strength cannot be underestimated. How many of them are there?"

Suddenly a deep voice sounded from the corner. Everyone looked back and saw Illidan walking over. Some of the less important entourage hurriedly gave up their positions.

"A lot, each patrol has at least two or three. Judging from the number of demon patrols, the number of these spellcasters is at least thirty or fifty, and there may be more in the central area." Lokan thought for a while, using a branch He replied, pointing to the circular mark at the entrance to the beast's den.

"Of course," Illidan affirmed, "Since they want to cast spells to corrupt the forest, the existence of these spellcasters must be indispensable."

Luo Ning's face showed a hint of solemnity when he heard this.

He has fought against demons many times, and has even met many eredar wizards. These powerful warlocks can pick up evil spells at their fingertips. Although they are not very strong, their spells are also frighteningly powerful and difficult to deal with.

"Shadowhunters, is it possible for us to lurk close enough to the Skull of Gul'dan to launch a surprise attack?" Ronin asked.

Rokan shook his head, his fanged mouth slowly opened, revealing a pair of yellowed teeth, and said with a smile: "Impossible, the devil is very guarded. No matter which direction we attack from, we will be attacked by the devil Detect it immediately. There is a distance of 400 meters from the periphery to the core. Before we have even walked halfway, we will be attacked from all directions by the demons who reacted. So, your decision is"

These words silenced everyone.Everyone present is a high-level official of each clan, and they have the right to make final decisions based on the on-site environment. Whether to carry out the killing mission or not depends entirely on their judgment at this time.

A special operations team composed of more than 40 elites faced off against 400 demons scattered across a [-]-meter radius centered on the beast's den.On the surface, the odds of winning are not small, but there may be more demons hidden in the core area that cannot be detected, and the number of high-level demons is unknown. Although the only legendary known to the enemy is Tichondrius, no one knows Is this the only one?There is no clue whether the devil will receive emergency support.

Faced with the risks in this operation, everyone is thinking deeply.

If it succeeds, the Burning Legion's attempt to completely corrupt Felwood will be thwarted, and a powerful dreadlord leader will be lost, and the coalition will have time to move to Mount Hyjal.Failed

No, this operation cannot fail.

Illidan stopped speaking, crossed his arms and stepped aside, looking at everyone coldly, as if he had already made a decision.

There was silence in the tree hole.

"Hua la la choi lang lang, choi lang lang"

Only the sound of Blox whetstone sharpening the ax blade in the corner could be heard.

This ax has killed countless enemies. The fine shallow marks and pits are covered with dark brown solidified blood.The place where the lower edge is inserted into the wooden handle is polished and shiny, which is obviously caused by frequent replacement of the ax handle.

From time to time, the old orc poured a little water from the water bag and put it on it with his hands. His thick fingers covered with fine marks slowly brushed the warm blade, and there was no trace of nervousness on his face.

"What do you think?" Luo Ning glanced at Jaina.

Although this was a question, Angmar saw a hint of determination in Chronin's eyes.For these visitors from the Eastern Continent who have a heavy responsibility on their shoulders, now is the only chance to obtain the Skull of Gul'dan.

Jaina frowned and said, "We need more manpower, but there is no time to waste."

The sixty-kilometer journey took too long. Not only that the corruption process may have been completed long after the reinforcements arrived, there was also a great risk of exposure during the march of the reinforcements.At that time, no matter whether the demons move in advance or send more troops, the coalition forces will lose such a rare opportunity to severely damage the enemy.On the surface, it seems that opening the portal is the most convenient, but there is a large group of demon casters with keen senses a few hundred meters away, and it is impossible for the fluctuations in the portal not to be noticed.

As a result, even if they receive the support of reinforcements, the special operations team will lose the opportunity.

"I agree with launching an immediate attack." Jaina finally nodded and said.

Luo Ning looked at Angmar, "What about you?"

"Agree."

Angmar nodded curtly.

The night elves on the other side, headed by Broll Bearskin, also quickly reached an agreement, "This is a rare opportunity to thwart the Burning Legion's conspiracy, and it's worth the risk."

"Humans and night elves, I thought you would back down." Rokan, who was crouching in front of Saurfang, said with a smile. He kept digging out pieces of smelly ointment from the small box in his arms and smearing it on Saurfang's face.

"Troll, I hope your herbs work as they should."

"Of course, Lord Saurfang," Rokan stood up and turned to everyone, "Would you like some of it to hide the smell on your body?"

Everyone nodded hesitantly, and one by one, people's faces, legs and exposed hands were all smeared with this disgusting thing.When it was Jaina's turn, she instinctively frowned, but she still suppressed the resistance in her heart and allowed Lorcan to do what he did.

"Bwonsamdi, your followers beg you in the most humble manner, please grant me your power, so that I can use your name to hunt the enemy Bwonsamdi, please grant me your power, you can lend me With my own hands, harvest the living souls of Bwonsamdi one after another.”

After finishing all this, Lorcan closed his eyes and prayed in Troll tongue with great devotion.

Bwonsamdi, a powerful spirit, a demigod-like existence, is the god of death that most troll groups in Azeroth believe in.

After a few breaths, everyone was surprised to find that the unknown, dark ointment on their bodies began to heat up, and a trace of mist evaporated. When they looked at each other again, they were all startled.

Everyone has been shrouded in a layer of dense fog, which distorts the light. If you don't look carefully, it is even difficult to tell whether it is a person standing or simply a mass of black fog.

"Don't look at me like that, let's go and meet the Watchers quickly." Rokan smiled and followed the Saurfang brothers out of the tree hole.

Illidan followed impatiently.

"Stay here and be prepared to quickly build the portal to ensure everyone's evacuation." Angmar said to the following mages behind him, took the Flame Strike in his hand, and followed everyone.

A big war is about to begin.
