Destroying the Dark Gate means that the expedition cannot continue, so the Iron Tribe will focus on Draenor. War Songs, Blood Rings, Broken Hands, and the major clans of the Iron Tribe are extremely warlike. The Blackstone clan has developed many powerful weapons and is ready to try. The ogres in the Hanging Mat Castle have surrendered, the next one is Draenei, and then the Frost Wolf clan. The Iron Tribe will erase all those who do not intend to obey. The premise for all this is to destroy the Dark Gate.

On the way back to Wogor, Durotan was always wondering if that was possible? It is said that the dark gate built by the Iron Tribe is a magical craft, and can accommodate nearly a hundred orcs at the same time, even Goron can pass through.

Nathanos did not tell him how it was done, but Durotan looked at the empty eyes carefully, without a trace of lies or boastful words, and he was very confident. This was also what Durotan was most worried about. The Withered One said as if he had witnessed the destruction of the Dark Gate.

To celebrate the return of the hunting team with a full load, Vogor launched a small-scale, limited celebration. Before that, Nathanos heard good news - Alex Tsasa woke up.

Durotan wanted to continue to inquire about useful information, so he invited Nathanos to sit by the campfire with his friends and enjoy a hearty dinner, but the other party is now determined to be with his friends. Even Gaiaan said that they need to be alone for a while now.

Thanks to Frostwolf grandmother, Nathanos walked towards the tent where Alextasa was located.

"How is it?" the mother asked.

Durotan's black eyebrows furrowed together. "He followed the tradition of orc hunting and acted like a real warrior. He won the recognition of clan members."

Gaiaan rarely meets his children when they answer questions, which only means that Durotan is still hesitating. He has not yet thought about it.

Will accepting the help of another world lead the wolf into the house? The Iron Tribe intends to invade Azeroth. In revenge, will the people of Azeroth also want to occupy Drano? Gaiaan understands that as the chief, her son must consider these things.

...

She recovered quickly and could stand up and move on the night she woke up. There was a little noise outside, and the frost wolf orcs seemed to be holding some kind of activity. Alextasa planned to go out and take a look. Her eyes caught a trace of movement, which made her frown and waited for the man to walk into the tent first.

Nathanos's hair, face, and body all had white frost and snow, and it looked like he had rolled around in the snow.

The Red Dragon Queen raised her eyebrows, and the slight movements made the Withered One understand how weird they looked.

"I was covered with blood from my prey. There was no river here, so I could only wipe it with snow."

Alextasa looked at Nathanos silently without smelling blood. "The effect is very good, the air is still so fresh."

The atmosphere was a little awkward. Nathanos didn't like the tone of the Red Dragon Queen's speech. It was strange and strange. He didn't even know how to face the other person next. But he always had to say something.

"If you're hungry..."

"I'm not hungry, I've already eaten something when I wake up." It was Gaian who prepared jerky meat and some berries for her. To Alex Tsasa's surprise, Nathanos didn't ask her about her current physical condition.

"Well, since that's the case, I have a problem."

"What do you want to ask?"

"What did you say to me the day Jaina took Sylvanas?" Nathanos calm, self-disciplined, and had strong control. Alextasa felt as if nothing could bother him. But now, he seemed a little panicked.

"Gianna's expression was very strange that day. I think she should have heard something..." The Withered Swallowed back the words. He looked at Alextasa and lowered his head in discomfort.

She smiled twice without any sense of humor, "You have rejected me once, do you want to reject me again?"

Sure enough! Nathanos felt a tightening in his heart, glad that he guessed correctly. "I just wanted to confirm."

"Why?" Alextasa responded to his gaze without hesitation. She was undeniable that she was the perfect combination of beauty and strength.

"What did you say that day? I want to hear you say it again."

The sun has set, and the bonfire outside looks warm and pleasant from a distance.

Alex Tsa looked at him carefully, "Why?"

Nathanos held his hand tightly and loosened it for many reasons, like entangled silk threads that made the Forgotten King's thoughts mess up. "I don't know either, I just think that's important to me."

"It's very important, why?"

"I hesitate, I rarely do this. Especially when you said those words to me that night. I knew I rejected you, but after that I was very disappointed. Maybe I didn't feel it at that time, until you fell into a coma, I..." He suddenly stopped and realized that he had actually guessed the specific content of Alextasa's words, and he hurriedly ended his speech.

Alextasa looked at Nathanos calmly, shook her head, and shook her red hair. "You are wrong, Nathanos. What makes you hesitate is the identity of the 'life-boundered swearer', not the name Alextasa'."

Her words deeply touched Nathanos. Alextasa has always been loved and respected, and the mission given by Titans made her an incarnation of nobility. Nathanos also respected her because she was the guardian dragon and the oath-binder of life.

Without these honorific titles and without the power to protect the dragon, she would be just an ordinary creature, just like him.

"Gaian has told me what you did during my coma. What I said that day is actually no longer important."

"It's very important because I want to respond to you again." He looked away again. He didn't want to look at her expression before saying all the words. "I don't know what consequences this will bring, but your tribe will definitely not understand it, and it will also affect your reputation. Although you said that the power in my body can help you repair your physiological defects,... it's still ridiculous."

"The reason I chose you is not because of the power of Azeroth, but because I really need a mortal companion."

Now, he finally had the courage to look at her. He widened his eyes, his consciousness became stiff, his hand had reached out, holding the Red Dragon Queen's hand, but his heart was full of uneasiness, but she did not pull her hand away.

Alextasa's expression became gentle, and a warm light flashed in the ruby's eyes, "You are right, this is not good for you and me," she took a deep breath, "Let it become a secret, and let us temporarily forget who each other is. I am not the swearing binder of life, nor are you the ones favored by Azeroth." The land under their feet is called Drano. "There are those who you care about, forget them temporarily. You belong to them in the future, and you should caress the woman in front of you at this moment."

Their world is still on the verge of war; the preparations have not been completed, and no one can truly sleep peacefully; soon after, everyone will fight for survival, but Nathanos is unwilling to think about those things now, and all this is nothing. Seeing Alextasa's face gradually turn red, his heart began to beat, and his body became hot. He stepped forward and kissed her hard until he was about to suffocate, and the feeling of nearly drowning was so sweet.

After a long time, they let go of each other and gasped.

"I remember you just woke up."

The Queen of Red Dragon's lips curled up, "Are you worried about me? I'm also worried that you'll put all your energy into hunting."

Nathanos picked up Alextasa and walked towards the animal-skinned mattress spread on the ground. Their clothes were scattered in the narrow room...

The frost wolf orcs are still celebrating, and the Withered Ones hope that Durotan and his people will continue to celebrate, and do not disturb them, and at least leave to the two in the house tonight.
