They could smell the stench from afar, and the air was mixed with the pungent smell of smoke from the ruins burning a few days ago.

The night elves successfully retreated from the battlefield, but lost some territory and suffered considerable losses. Desdale Star Eye, the adjutant of Kutalos Lavenkes, declared that this was just a small setback.

"It's a good thing that he could say. Raven Keith died! He died! He died in the hands of a despicable villain. That star eye actually said that this was just a small loss!"

"Stop talking!" Nathanos stopped Brocks from nagging. The two of them knew the inside story about this matter very clearly. Although Desdale Star Eye was born with a noble background, he did not know the way of military strategists and could only talk about war on paper. The generals around him were all mediocre people.

Since Ravencais was assassinated, no one dared to confront this slender, powerful nobleman head-on, and it is difficult to find a few night elves who are experienced and experienced like the Black Crow Lord. Although Desdale Star Eye has great ambitions, if he continues like this, his incompetence will surely lead to his vigorous ambitions and his people to destruction.

Nathanos was not just worried about the precarious future of the army. Another thing was pressing on his mind, which made him turn his eyes to the Black Raven Fortress Council Hall on the other side of his line of sight. At this moment, the commander was receiving a noble "guest" - the red dragon falling from the sky, but he was not alone, but three! One of them was very familiar with Nathanos, the magician Ronin. He hadn't seen this mage for a long time, and he didn't know if the other party had heard of him? If he met, would he recognize who he was? In response to these questions, Nathanos hoped that the answer was no.

"We can't pin our hopes on Desdale, the dead, think of ways."

"I have observed the society of night elves, and I found that like humans, they advocate hereditary system. Logically speaking, once Ravenkes dies, his daughter should be the one who inherits the Black Rook Fortress."

"You mean the female elf named Ilisana Ravenkes? Didn't you see it? She immediately broke down when she heard the news of her father's death."

After hearing Brox's words, Nathanos sighed helplessly, "Since that's the case, we can't pin our hopes on the night elves. We must look for other races."

"Other race?" Brox looked at him in surprise.

"Yes, other races, although there are no humans or orcs in this era, there are dwarves. I have learned about the history of dwarves from my dwarves mentors, and I can be sure that they must be in some corner of the world." Nathanos said and turned to Brox, "Do you have any good suggestions?"

The orc rubbed his forehead and gently touched his hair. "There is indeed one."

"Speak quickly!"

Brox glanced back at the door and didn't feel any eavesdropping. Most of the soldiers were hostile to foreign races. After participating in the Battle of Black Rook Fortress, Ravenkes's indifference to the orcs and the undead also disappeared, but now the lord is dead, and the two of them are beginning to worry that the new commander will not be polite to them.

"It's a tauren!"

"New member of the tribe?"

Brox nodded, "The Taurus Chief Kane Bloodhoof once told Chief Thal that their clan is the oldest race in Azeroth, with tens of thousands of years of history."

"So that's it." Nathanos attacked with his hands. "I've seen the power of the Taurens. They are not only strong, but also full of wisdom. Most importantly, they are not arrogant. They are easier to get along with than the night elves."

“It’s just a difficult problem.”

"What?"

"They are nomads, like the War Song clans in the tribe, without a reliable settlement at all."

The undead immediately shook his head, "Then go find them. Nomads generally do not appear in forests and rugged mountains. We must go to plains or plateaus, and only there can we see the traces of nomads."

Plains or plateaus? Nathanos and Brox turned their eyes to the map on the wall at the same time, "Look there." Brox pointed to the west of the Black Crow Fortress. Although the map was only a few feet away from the Black Crow Fortress, both of them knew how far that place was.

"That place is the plain area, but... the area is still too large."

"It can only be done by luck, and it is impossible to defeat the Burning Legion by just one Taurus race. We also need to find more allies."

Brox knew that he was talking about dwarves, but can the dwarves really deal with the Burning Legion? The orcs were very suspicious, but he had absolute confidence in the combat power of the dwarves. After all, in the Second War, the dwarves caused a lot of hardships in the tribe.

"Where are you going to find the dwarves?"

"Go to the south, I don't know, but there are large areas of unmarked land in the south. A place that is empty for too long will always appear new civilizations. I can only block one, and I hope the dwarves are there!"

...

The Burning Legion launched a new round of offensives, and the offensive continued to increase. The night elves on the defensive need to sleep and eat to replenish their physical strength, but this became their weakness. The demons had no need. They could devote themselves to the battle day and night, tirelessly until they died on the battlefield. Only when they were at an absolute disadvantage could they withdraw their troops and quit. Even if they withdraw, they would make a comeback, so that every inch of land was soaked in blood.

The night elves defenders became weaker. Garod Shadowge could not find Nathanos and Brox everywhere. He asked the guards on duty to learn that the two reliable allies had left. Shadowge knew in his heart that they did not leave the Black Crow Fortress because of fear of the demons, but Desdale Star Eye. The arrogant noble made the mess here. Garod wanted to convince the Star Eye to accept the new allies, but this prejudiced noble made the target of a common cause a quarrel that everyone would rather see. The night elves never really joined hands with other races and fought side by side. The night elves only knew how to deal with their own people.

"The undead and the orcs must have left because of the star eyes."
