Chapter 8 - Outpost Nière

………

The ships of the Forsakens docked not far from the southern important port of Kalimdo continent, Ratchet City. Ratchet City is a must-pass place for vendors to gather and travel, located in the heart of the tribal territory. The rulers here are goblins like Treasure Bay. However, it is neutral to the outside world and brings a buffer between the tribe and the alliance.

But the Forsaken people who came to Kalimdo all the way to the land of the land would not stay in the goblins. They headed northwest and came to the Stone Claw Mountains on the way. Nathanos remembered this place. It was here that Jaina and Thal reached a covenant. Now, in order to find a place to live, he had to pass through. The desolate land that Zalta said was in the south of the mountains.

Originally, after arriving at Ratchet City, you could go west as quickly as possible to reach the desolate land, but this journey required passing through Thunder Cliff, which was the territory of the Tauren. In order to hide his whereabouts, Nathanos decided to take a long way.

"Sir, we have investigated it." Belmont and a few scouts he selected returned. Nathanos was standing in the aisle leading to the desolate land of the Stone Claw Mountains. "As you said, in the desolate land, there are indeed four centaur tribes, and they are hostile to each other."

"Have you copied the map?" asked Nathanos. Belmont had already delivered the map to him with a smile.

When the Withering Man unfolded the map, Belmont was still reporting to him. The map marked the locations of four centaur tribes, all on the edge of the desolate land, but one of them occupied Maraton. Meanwhile, Belmont's intelligence showed that there were other enemies on the land.

"You marked the red cross at this location." Nathanos pointed to the northwest above the map, not far south of their location. In fact, there are many such marks on the map, but Nathanos was most concerned about what the mark was closest to them. "Does this mean there are other threats there?"

"You are a wise leader, lord. There is a stronghold of orcs in that place."

"Orc?" Nathanos' brow tightened, "Do you see the tribe's flag?"

"That's not. I guess this should be an orc who has not surrendered to the tribe. Each of them hid themselves under the dark red turban. And there were no warriors among them, it seemed like..." Belmont paused for a moment, looking for the right words.

"Cult?" Nathanos said for him.

"Cult, yes!" Belmont agreed, "Of course, we also feel the power of demons flowing in them."

Then there is no problem, the wither relaxed.

"Is there a suitable place to stay?" Nathanos asked.

"It's true." Belmont pointed his finger at a mountain pass near them, but then he shook his head again. "There are alliances stationed in that place."

"How is the league here?" Nathanos continued to ask, and he saw the same puzzled expression on Belmont's face.

"We don't know, sir," replied Belmont, adding: "But we found that the commander of the Union was a captain named Bendicats. His camp was called Niere's outpost."

"Outpost? Then there shouldn't be many humans stationed." Nathanos glanced at him with a contemplative expression. "Tonight, that place will belong to the Forgotten One."

...

Captain Benticas of Stormwind is writing a report on the desolate land, which will be sent to Theramore and handed over to King Varian. The alliance adopted a strategy for the tribe a few months ago. Due to the complex forces on the Eastern Kingdoms continent, the alliance cannot fully control the entire continent, but cannot sit idly by and watch the tribe enjoy Kalimdo alone. As far as Benticas knows, Ms. Gianna is working hard to invite the night elves to join the alliance. Their troops deep into Kalimdo will explore the situation around the Thunder Cliff in the tribe territory. If possible, the alliance will establish many strongholds in this continent in the future.

Bendicat wrote his name at the end of the report. He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could finally rest, but he was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and felt alert. He turned his eyes to the night sky outside the window. He could hear it-although it was weak, but it was getting louder and louder. It was the sound of the bow and arrow hitting the target. Bendicat knew that the time for soldiers' training had long passed.

"Enemy attack!" Bendicats shouted, then rushed out immediately, while shouting a warning, while removing his hammer from the wall. He rushed out of the camp. He had just opened his mouth, trying to call on the guards to prepare for battle, but suddenly a strong light was shining in front of him, which was the searchlight on the watchtower.

Bendicats raised one hand in front of his eyes, covering the strong light generated by the searchlight, but still did not hear the shouts of others. The captain narrowed his eyes and saw a figure appearing in the light where there was no one under the light. It seemed that he was not a centaur or an orc, but Bendicats felt that the temperature in front of him suddenly dropped a lot.

The man in the light raised a hand and the light shining on Bendicats' face disappeared. The captain hadn't noticed it, but after his vision recovered, he immediately smelled the smell of blood. At the same time, under the dim night, he saw pairs of yellow eyes staring at him, and the one in front of him was red. The only bonfire in the camp could not let the captain know what was going on, but he had already felt fear...

...

Silver Moon City

Aurelia was wearing a cloak and patrolling the streets and alleys of the capital alone. Xindore finally regained control of the capital. After unremitting efforts, many facilities in Silver Moon City were finally about to return to their former glory, except for the traces of death left by Alsace. The black road full of natural disasters and deworming is a wound that Quel'thalas can never heal, and it is also a wound in the heart of every elf. Aurelia swore that she would definitely let Quel'thalas return to its former glory.

When she arrived at the garden market, the Regent stopped for a while. She sat on the bench, behind her three vivid statues of maids. They raised their heads and held a disk, where clean water sprinkled out of the disk to form a fountain. Here, Aurelia could feel a hint of coolness that penetrated her heart.

Silver Moon City was reclaimed and rebuilt, but it was not as lively as before. The high elves who lived here at the beginning rarely had the concept of time. Once the sun sets, they often gathered and roamed in the garden market. Aurelia remembers that she seemed to have been here as well. At that time, to celebrate the admission of her younger brother Lilas to the magic school, the four siblings came here to hold a banquet together.

Thinking of her relatives, Aurelia was surprised to find that there were fewer and fewer people around her. Lilas was traveling outside, and Wenleza was still by her side. As for Sylvanas..., Aurelia breathed heavily. She hadn't talked to Sylvanas for a long time. Quel'thalas was at the time of using people. Aurelia repeatedly indicated that her sister would serve the kingdom again, but Sylvanas had been refusing. Even if Wenleza proposed to hand over the power of General Ranger to her, she was not moved.

Aurelia did not go to Sylvanas in person because she knew that there would be a dispute between them when they met. The reason for the dispute was that she personally planned and participated in the encirclement and suppression of Nathanos. Because of this reason, Sylvanas may never be able to forgive herself.

This is a cold war without sound. Wen Lesa has repeatedly reconciled the conflict between her and Sylvanas, and the effect is not obvious. The barrier is difficult to fill in with words.

Nowadays, Sylvanas is still in Silver Moon City. As her sister, Aurelia knows very well that the reason she did this was because of her and Nathanos's children. Her sister often secretly went to see Belorel without telling her, making him laugh, and bringing him toys. There were a few times, Aurelia wanted to have a good chat with Sylvanas through this child, but if she used her son as a bargaining chip, what would Sylvanas think? The relationship between the two sisters is already very stiff, and Aurelia doesn't want to make Sylvanas look at her colder.

"elder sister!"

Now the only person who can call herself like this is Winleza. Aurelia watched the silver-haired elf running over. This was the sixth time she had been "catched" by her.

"I'm here, Wenleza."

"You shouldn't be here, sister. It's too late now, you should have a good rest."

Aurelia smiled slightly, "I am just resting, staying on the throne of the Sun, and even sleeping, I feel tired. On the contrary, here, the cool breeze at night and the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, allowing me to temporarily get rid of my heavy duty." She patted the other side of the bench, "Sit with me for a while, sister."

Wen Leisa nodded and leaned the longbow in her hand against the armrest of the bench. She actually had important things to tell Aurelia, but her sister's words made her feel a little reluctant to speak.

"No need to hide it, Wenleza. Just say anything."

General Ranger was surprised and felt that Aurelia had returned to her regent. What she was thinking in her heart could not hide at all.

Wenleza coughed dryly and whispered: "We haven't received any news from Prince Kelthas for a long time, and the Sindorais trust you more and more."

"It seems like this is not a good thing to follow."

Wen Leisa's eyes turned, "Prince Kelthas is not here, and the Wind Walker family is in power, so gossip is inevitable, but you are not the only one with prestige in the Wind Walker family, but there are also..." The young Wind Walker paused. She was unwilling to say that name, but just said: "There is also the second sister."

"Do you mean a coup?" Aurelia stared at Wenleza angrily. Her anger was not because her sister was saying true or false, but because her sister suspected her family's blood relatives. Sylvanas did have conflicts with her, but she was not yet at the point of drawing her sword to face each other. Those who sow discord clearly had ulterior motives.

"I don't mean that, sister. But recently, the voices of the recapture of Yongge Forest in Silver Moon City have become louder and louder. They hope to give His Highness a complete Quelthalas before Prince Kelthas returns. Many generals have gone to find their second sister, hoping that she can convince you to send troops."

"Absolutely not!" Aurelia's answer was exactly the same as what she said when she faced other high-ranking officers in parliament. "The situation has just stabilized now, and in addition to the natural disasters, we also have to deal with those who are indifferent to those who are sucking polluting magic. In short, it is not the time to recover the lost land. Shiva knew this, so she did not come to persuade me."

"But between you and your second sister..."
