Chapter 24 - Destiny(1/2)
…
The Dark Portal was closed? Nathanos and Alleria stayed where they were for a long time, as if the battlefield behind them had nothing to do with them.
"Who did it?" Alleria asked subconsciously, but she understood immediately when she saw the dizzy dwarf, but this was still unbelievable.
"It's not that... I didn't expect it at all." Nathanos said this feebly, not even noticing the complicated look the female elf looked at him, and then looked at the female elf with the same look, and said: "Wait a minute.
When the dwarf wakes up, we'll know what happened!"
"We have to help them!"
"We can't do it." Nathanos pointed out the cruel fact. He was surprised that his tone could still remain calm, but he believed that he was as nervous and anxious as Alleria. What happened to the person behind the portal?
What happened over there? How to contact them? Maybe there will be answers to these questions, but they are not the ones to answer the questions. "None of us are...mages."
…
"Dark Portal!" Rexxar pointed at the portal and shouted. "Something's wrong!"
"What's wrong?" Grom asked, then turned to look.
"No!"
"Grom! The portal is gone!" one of them wailed.
"what should we do?"……
Hellscream calmed down. Fortunately, he could still stay conscious at this time. "Gather the troops quickly!" Grom shouted, "Rexar! Let's go to warn others together! Move towards the entrance of the valley!"
Rexxar suddenly woke up, nodded, and quickly walked to the other side to complete the task assigned to him by Grom. Every time he saw an orc, he briefly told the other person Grom's order. When Rexxar himself arrived
At the entrance of the valley, Grom also came. All the remaining tribe members in Azeroth were here. Most of them looked panicked.
"The portal is gone!" Grom roared loudly. This was a cruel fact, but he wanted all orcs to accept it. His eyes were fixed on the humans who were cleaning the battlefield in front of the ruins of the Dark Portal.
"The Alliance is gathering troops! We must head north immediately," his shining red eyes scanned the tribe in front of him, and then he raised his blood roar. "We must survive."
Rexxar looked at this group of orcs. These were the only remaining forces of the orc tribe. A loud shout echoed through the sky. Grom seemed to replenish the fighting spirit of the other orcs. But with his eyes, Rexxar stared at hell in the crowd.
Roaring, the chieftain of the Warsong Clan thirsts for revenge.
One day later, Glory Castle
"So, it was Khadgar who destroyed the Dark Portal over there?" Nathanos said to himself outside the window. It was raining lightly in the Cursed Land, and Alleria had told him that he would gather tonight
The troops left here. This may sound a little too hasty, but in order to return the artifacts that the expeditionary force fought so hard to recapture to Dalaran as soon as possible, the female elf believed that the sooner the better.
The Wildhammer dwarf who escaped has woken up and told them everything. As for Turalyon, Khadgar, Danath, Kurdran and many others, no one knows whether they are still alive. But
The dwarf's uncontrollable tears made everyone else feel despair. Instead of resting, he directly mounted the griffin and flew away. He wanted to tell everyone about this heroic deed.
Nathanos sighed, and the long-standing depression disappeared without a trace with the white breath he exhaled.
"It's all over? I hope so." He closed the window. In a few days, a new commander will come here to watch over this land.
A week later, Hillsbrad
"I don't like this place."
Nathanos heard Alleria's complaints.
"Why?"
"This was the place where we fought Orgrim, over there!" The female elf pointed to a tree with two boulders underneath, which was an excellent shooting position. "I have stepped up there, and it was on top.
When dealing with the orcs, it was also here that we met the death knight for the first time, but that time, you were not there."
There was no blame in her words, she was just recalling a brief fact.
"It's all over!" Nathanos smiled and looked at Alleria, who was dressing up quietly, just like the first time he saw the female elf, but this time Nathanos took a good look at it.
, the conclusion is: she is indeed beautiful.
"General!" Ranger Verena rushed to Alleria's side, her nervous look seriously ruining the current atmosphere.
"What's wrong, Verena?" Alleria held onto the adjutant who almost fell down with both hands. This battle-hardened female elf has always been mature and steady, and would not be so confused when encountering something. Alleria
Realizing that something must have happened to make Verena so nervous.
"Speak slowly."
"Yes, General." Verena took two more breaths and glanced at Nathanos when she raised her head. She frowned, looked around again, and then leaned against Alleria's ear,
What are you talking about.
Nathanos was not focused on eavesdropping on her words. Maybe Alleria would tell him later. But the actual situation was exactly the opposite. Verena took a step back and stared at her ranger general with a pale face.
For a moment, Nathanos was surprised to find that Alleria seemed not to be breathing. She turned her back to him and remained motionless, and only Verena could see her face.
"Alleria?" Nathanos called softly, but the female elf didn't respond. The human frowned, then put his hand on her shoulder and called again: "Alleria?"
"Ah?" The female elf was startled, and quickly turned to face Nathanos. There were emotions in her eyes, corners of her mouth, and cheeks. Her makeup remained, but the moment she turned around, it changed.
Eclipsed. Alleria smiled and silently told Nathanos that she was fine. But her eyes could not deceive anyone. Her emerald green eyes trembled slightly, filled with sadness, anger, despair, and other negative emotions.
Looking at her. If the person standing in front of her was not this human being, I'm afraid she would burst out.
"What's wrong?" Nathanos asked with narrowed eyes, but Alleria shook her head, still maintaining that bitter and false smile.
"It's okay." She said softly, but the hoarseness of her voice surprised both her and Nathanos. At the same time, she didn't realize that she had clenched her fists tightly, and her hands were shaking involuntarily.
.
"Tell me, Alleria. Tell me!" Nathanos held her shoulders with both hands. The female elf still shook her head and stopped talking. There was suddenly a trace of desire in her eyes, begging Nathanos not to let him go.
Ask again.
There was a sadness in the human heart. He was wondering why Alleria didn't tell him. Was it because he didn't believe him? No! He denied his thoughts. This was because he doubted Alleria. Nathanos took a deep breath.
, soothing his uneasiness. Finally he nodded and replied: "Okay!"
Alleria felt relieved, buried her head in Nathanos' arms, stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly.
What happened? Nathanos raised his head and looked at Verena, who also noticed the look in his eyes. The female elf adjutant bowed to him and turned stiffly to leave.
A long time passed.
"Are you okay?" Nathanos asked. Alleria let go of him and lowered the hood, but Nathanos could still see the haggard face. What was he thinking?
What could have caused Alleria to become like this?
"It's time for you to go home?"
"What?" Nathanos asked in surprise.
"I mean, your family must be waiting for you. You must miss them after being away for so long. You should go see them immediately. And I still have to go to Dalaran, which may delay several days.
"
"It's okay, I..." Nathanos wanted to continue to say, "I can accompany you," but he didn't expect Alleria to reject him, and said softly in a very cold tone: "You don't
Belong to me alone, Nathanos. Please leave quickly? We will meet again, won't we?" She said this with some hope, but more of an escape. What was she running from?
Nathanos stayed where he was for a long time, and finally asked weakly: "Now?"
The female elf didn't hesitate, nodded, and didn't even look at him from beginning to end.
"Okay!" Nathanos said. He felt that Alleria had no intention of keeping him this time. The female elf really wanted him to leave, or maybe she didn't want Nathanos to witness something.
The moment Nathanos turned around, Alleria resisted herself not to reach out and grab his arm, and she didn't even dare to raise her head to look at his back. Every step further that Nathanos took, the faster she breathed.
For a minute, until she was sure that Nathanos was gone, anger and hatred once again took over her.
"Verena, take someone to confirm this news!"
As night fell, Nathanos was sure that it was impossible for him to reach Serbocher, a small town in the south of Lordaeron, so he set up his tent in the wild and picked up enough dry firewood for warmth when the heavy rain fell.
.It is the rainy season, which is not surprising, but why? Nathanos asked himself countless times, why did Alleria let him leave, and what happened?
Although Nathanos had reminded himself to get a good sleep, he couldn't sleep. Alleria's expression lingered in his mind.
His throat suddenly choked up, and he vaguely heard the whisper of raindrops hitting the tent. When he heard Alleria whispering to him, at first he thought it was just an auditory hallucination.
"Nathanos?"
He raised his head. Under the dim orange-red light of the fire, Nathanos saw Alleria. She was standing at the entrance of the tent. "Alleria!" Nathanos jumped from the ground.
Get up. "You're soaked!"
He immediately pulled her. The elf was trembling all over, staring at him silently. Her eyes were wide open, and her flowing blond hair was sticking tightly to her head.
Nathanos had a lot of questions to ask her. What happened to her? What happened? And more importantly, why was she here, standing alone at the entrance of her tent.
All of this had to be considered later. Alleria was trembling all over, almost frozen, and when he reached out to take off her cloak, he found that the cloak looked as if it had just fallen into the water, and was several times heavier than before.
Nathanos threw the damp cloak aside and said to her: "Come in quickly! I'll find you some clothes."
His words seemed to encourage Alleria. The female elf opened her little hand and placed it on top of the still-glowing charcoal fire for warmth.
Nathanos only found a shirt and a pair of trousers in his package. Although these clothes were not suitable for Alleria, at least they were dry.
He turned around and found that Alleria was still motionless, staring blankly at the fire, like a child, completely different from her usual image.
"Put them on quickly." He said softly, biting his lips, forcing himself not to ask questions. He knelt down and took off her shoes. The shoes were almost completely filled with water, and her feet
