…………

The chestnut mare snorted! Nathanos recovered from his memories and heard some movement.

The ranger Vereesa had unknowingly set up her arrow. The forest around her was silent and there was no sign of danger. This is the territory of Lordaeron and is absolutely safe. There will be no orcs or trolls.

There are activities here. There is a small hotel not far away. Except for a stable boy carrying grass, there is nothing else.

"Are you here?" Nathanos crossed her side and walked in front of her.

"Coming?" Vereesa looked around. The wind blew a strand of silver-white hair in front of her eyes, but it failed to cover her keen gaze. A pair of clear blue eyes monitored everything around her. Two eyes.

The long pointed ears try to catch all the sounds.

But she still didn't understand what Nathanos meant. What was coming? Who was coming?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Vereesa glared at him, her words of reprimand already on her lips.

"Are you waiting for me?" A deep voice suddenly sounded in front of Nathanos. Vereesa immediately aimed her arrow at the guy who suddenly appeared.

Faced with such a threat, the fiery red-haired human who appeared out of thin air was not afraid. On the contrary, his green eyes looked doubtfully at the calm human and the murderous female elf.

"They told me there would be an elf ranger waiting for me here, but now it seems there is one more person."

"Luo Ning?"

"Yes, who are you?"

"Marius, the person who works with you."

The two humans shook hands with each other, completely shielding themselves from the angry female elf who glanced back and forth at them.

"So, there are two people protecting me?"

"Plans can't keep up with changes." Nathanos replied: "An extra person can make you safer."

"I think so." Luo Ning showed a teasing smile and looked at Vereesa. The bow and arrow in her hand could pierce her throat as long as she let go.

"Are you that mage?" the ranger finally said.

Luo Ning stretched out his hands, "Isn't it like that?"

Vereesa put down her bow and arrow and relaxed a little. "They told me that a mage would be here. But you were three days late!"

"Of course I need to prepare something." The mage replied, looked at Nathanos, and continued: "Besides, you haven't been bored these three days, have you?"

"I'm not familiar with this guy!" The ranger glared at Nathanos. "I don't even know what he does. He just sat on that rock like a stake for three days."

Ronin looked at Nathanos in confusion, unable to believe what Vereesa said. "Is what she said true, Maris?"

"Hurry will not lead to good results." Nathanos replied, and calmly looked up at the sky. "I have prepared everything, it's time for us to set off."

"Ready? What have you prepared?" Vereesa glanced at him, her sweet voice sounding angry.

"Route, weather changes, and when the ship will leave Hasker Port..."

"What?" Vereesa and Luo Ning were startled at the same time. The female elf reacted first and scolded: "What a joke! You haven't moved at all in the past three days. Don't tell me that you went there while I was sleeping.

I did what you said."

Nathanos crossed his arms over his chest and replied coldly, "I arrived here a week ago, but I had prepared everything four days before you came here."

Vereesa's eyes widened and she was speechless. Nathanos ignored her surprise and turned to Ronin: "Do you have a mount?"

"No." Ronin shrugged. He thought Nathanos would accuse him, but the human in front of him said the opposite.

"Great, the route we are going to take may be a bit rugged and not suitable for horses." Nathanos glanced at Vereesa's chestnut mare with disdain.

"What?" the female elf looked at him displeased, "What do you mean? Why don't you take the main road instead of taking the route you designed." Vereesa expressed her dissatisfaction extremely angrily. But Nathano

Si only replied her with five words.

"Faster and safer!"

"you!"

Luo Ning almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. This Maris was completely unafraid of the angry female elf. He knew that the appearance of elves is very oppressive to humans. They are taller than most humans, such as Wen Lei.

Sa. Ronin had to admit that if he traveled with such a person, then this mission would not be unpleasant.

"I think Maris is right, safety is the most important thing."

The female elf looked at the two humans singing in harmony, and she was very suspicious that this was what they had agreed upon. She tried hard to suppress her anger.

"Okay, five days, I will only give you five days. If you can't reach Haske Port within five days, don't blame me for leaving you behind and let this guy take you to your destination!" Vereesa did not do anything else.

She argued, but led the horse towards the inn. She had to leave her beloved horse here temporarily.

They walked together for four days, and apart from some annoying bugs, there was nothing unpleasant along the way. The constantly changing scenery made the journey quite poetic, but humans and elves remained silent most of the time. Ronin

He really regarded Vereesa as a guard, but it was different for Nathanos. He found that he could chat with this kind of person. What was surprising was that Nathanos seemed to be different from those noble paladins. He didn't mind at all.

Ronin is a mage. No matter what he asks, does, or even needs, Nathanos will meet his needs. Vereesa, who is also doubtful, is also confused about Nathanos who behaves abnormally—

—This person has completely become that mage’s nanny.

Not only that, Vereesa is very curious about Ronin's mission. In fact, due to the existence of dragons and orcs, Khaz Modan has always been a very dangerous place, but the Alliance always has a group of well-trained scouts there.

There are activities in and around the land. Vereesa estimates that Ronin's mission is very important, otherwise the mages have always had a high regard for themselves, and the Kirin Tor will not send people like them to take risks. However, choosing this guy, they really

Has it been carefully considered? There must be someone more capable and trustworthy, right? Maybe it was his eyes and tone that directly led to him being sent to complete such a dangerous task.

"How far is it to Hask, Maris?" Ronin asked as he followed Nathanos.

"If nothing else happens, you can arrive tomorrow morning. You still have time to have breakfast or take a shower."

"Excellent." Ronin smiled and couldn't help but wonder about the origin of Nathanos. "Maris, where are you from? You look like a native of Lordaeron."

"Yes, my home is in the south of Stratholme."

"No wonder you are so familiar with this place, then you..." Luo Ning was interrupted by the noise coming from the sky. He also wanted to ask Nathanos who sent him here, because logically speaking, Only Vereesa escorted him.

"It's a dragon!" Nathanos said. The other two people immediately became alert when they heard it. Vereesa had already set up her bow and arrow.

"And gryphons!" He added, then looked around, picked the tallest tree, and climbed up skillfully. It was the first time Vereesa had seen such a flexible human being, and his movements even made him climb up the tree. Much more powerful than himself. "Stay below, I'll go check out the situation." Nathanos said to the two people below, and then raised his head. Not far away, about one kilometer away, three griffins were besieging a red dragon. .

The situation of the battle seemed to belong to the gryphon knights, although they had not yet launched a fierce attack. The three of them had been surrounding the red dragon, making the huge guy dizzy. It tried hard to concentrate on targeting one of them, but the other lions The eagle kept diverting the dragon's attention. Only once did the flames miss one of its winged opponents.

A dwarf suddenly raised his giant axe, the ax blade shining in the dusk. He and his mount flew close to the giant dragon, and when they got close to the back of the giant beast's head, they suddenly swooped over.

The claws dug deep into the dragon's neck, tearing open its scales. Just as the dragon was experiencing sudden severe pain, the dwarf swung the giant axe.

The blade penetrated deeply. Although it could not kill the dragon directly, it was enough to make the dragon scream in pain.

Although much smaller than the red giant beast, griffins can make up for the size gap with huge and sharp claws and beaks that can peck through muscle. In the sky, they can move more quickly and flexibly, with a kind of Dragons turn at incomparable angles.

"They know that dragons have bad tempers!" Nathanos didn't notice at all that the humans and elves under the tree looked at him in surprise and disbelief. He was standing on a very thin branch. Wen At first, Lesa thought he would break the branch and fall, but nothing happened except the branch swaying a little, and Nathanos stood firmly on it.

'They are making the dragon completely disoriented.' Nathanos commented. He still remembered that Kurdran used to rely on brute force to deal with the red dragon, but now, the Wildhammer dwarves have obviously found a way to deal with the red dragon. Method.

The gryphons surrounded their enemy, forcing it to keep turning from this direction to that direction to determine which gryphon was the most threatening to them. The orcs had long known to be careful of gryphons, but without their own Rider, the dragon seemed a little overwhelmed. The dwarves quickly expanded their advantage, maneuvering their mounts to fly around, increasing the dragon's frustration. The long beards and ponytails of the wild dwarves were blowing in the wind. Swinging, when they smiled and faced the huge enemy in front of them, the roaring laughter only made the dragon more angry. He clawed and bit wildly, spraying flames that had no effect.

"Let's go." Nathanos jumped down from the tree and said.

"How is the situation?" Luo Ning asked hurriedly.

He glanced at the mage and replied: "That dragon is dead." Then he continued to lead the way, gesturing for the two of them to follow.

The three of them hurried forward together. In the sky behind them, the figures of the dragon and the griffon became smaller and smaller, partly because the battlefield moved in the opposite direction to Vereesa and his companions.

"Strange..." Nathanos heard the mage talking to himself.

"What's wrong?"

He said, "Why is this dragon here?"

Vereesa was irritated. "If you hadn't been late, we wouldn't have met these monsters."

The mage's emerald green eyes narrowed. "I'm sorry, but we don't seem to have been attacked."

"Who knows what will happen next?"

Ronin shook his head, stopped arguing with Vereesa, and turned to Nathanos: "Maris, what do you think?"

"Someone saw the dragon and reported it. Those dwarves were just doing their job," he considered. "I know there are still some orcs in Grim Batol who are still resisting, trying to rally the others.

Resistant orcs and those besieged territories."

"Who can explain clearly what an orc is thinking? This is obviously an undisciplined predator. Humans, this is not the first time they have attacked the Alliance like this." Vereesa corrected.

"No, but I want to know what if..." Luo Ning stopped talking because they suddenly noticed something moving in the woods... in every direction.

The elf ranger immediately drew her sword from its scabbard. Beside her, Rhonin's hands reached into the folds of his mage's robes, no doubt preparing to cast a spell. Nathanos

They didn't make any move, they just stopped and looked at the guys surrounding them.

Six burly knights suddenly appeared in the surrounding woods. Although the light was dim, their silver armor still shined.

Helmets decorated with lion heads hid their facial features. As a ranger, Vereesa wondered how they could act alone in this gear despite the ongoing war. The six-man team in this saddle seemed to come and go with complete freedom.
