The elites of the Backlight Blade were very vigilant. The thieves who were exchanging information with each other in the stronghold immediately noticed Valeera's arrival, and they all stood up and saluted her respectfully.

"Lord Sangunar."

"Thank you for your hard work, no need to be formal."

Under the daily influence of Sarlayan, Valeela had no interest in the formal etiquette of the high elves. She waved her hand and interrupted the salutes of everyone present and went straight to the topic.

"Marion, please come out and report the situation."

"yes!"

The one Valeera spotted was a female thief masked in a black scarf. Her full headgear made it impossible to see her face.

However, judging from the exposed contours of her eyebrows and eyes, the appearance of this female thief named Marion should be above the basic standard line of high elves.

Since Marion chose to cover her face with a black scarf, it meant that she did not want to reveal her true appearance, and the thieves present would respect her choice.

Valeela did not say those meaningless pleasantries and asked straight to the point: "How is the progress of the exploration? Have you encountered any difficulties that cannot be solved?"

Marion replied as concisely as possible: "The upper area has been explored, and no high-risk targets worthy of special attention have been found."

"We discovered six high-level priests of the Atalai sect one after another in the middle area. Their positions were very particular, guarding a large altar of unknown purpose in the center of the middle area from six different directions."

Marion didn't just describe it dryly in words. After integrating the simple schematics brought back by her colleagues who entered the middle area to explore, Marion drew a detailed indoor map of the middle area.

Valeera lowered her head and studied it. Indeed, as Marion said, the positions of these six high-ranking Atalai priests obviously had some purpose.

Sure enough, Marion's next report confirmed Valeela's suspicion.

"After basically identifying the middle area, we encountered obstacles when trying to enter the lower core area."

Marion's index finger wearing a leather glove pointed at the corner of the map: "The entrance to the spiral staircase leading to the lower area is blocked by a layer of dark green barrier."

"In order to avoid arousing Atalai's suspicion, we have not yet tested the defense strength of this barrier."

"According to the existing intelligence analysis, this barrier should have been created jointly by the six high-level priests."

"The purpose is to protect the lower core area so that the upper echelons of the sect will not be easily exposed to the enemy's sight."

"in addition……"

Marion hesitated for a rare moment, and Valeera raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"What's wrong? If you have something to say, just say it."

"Yes." Marion raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows uneasily: "Perhaps it is my misunderstanding. The lower area blocked by the barrier is filled with an ominous atmosphere that is both familiar and strange to me."

"Familiar yet strange? An unknown aura?"

Valeera narrowed her eyes slightly, lowered her head and thought for a moment.

"Marion, I remember that your parents were unfortunately killed because of the great traitor Darkan Drasil?"

"That's right."

Marion replied without changing her expression: "When I heard the bad news and rushed to the scene from the Backlight Blade headquarters, my parents had already lost their lives in their sleep."

"According to the arcanist who examined the corpses, their souls did not return to the Sunwell, but disappeared."

"About a week before my parents' accident, I fainted inexplicably once while on a mission. The headquarters should still keep relevant records."

Valeela nodded thoughtfully: "I have read the report, Sharlayan... that is, the Grand Duke of Deep Shadow came to a conclusion through post-mortem inspection."

"Due to the blood connection between immediate family members, when Darkan attacked your parents, you also had a strange resonance."

"The reason why you couldn't find the souls of your parents is because Darkan sacrificed them to the so-called Lord of Dreams, the second-generation Nightmare King Varoson who secretly colluded with him."

Valeela meaningfully tapped the place marking the barrier on the map with her finger: "Ha~ Since there is a familiar atmosphere in the lower area, it means that... the speculation of Grand Duke Shenying is very likely to happen again. bingo."

Marion did not interrupt Valeela's contemplation, but there was obviously something strange in her eyes.

Valeera noticed the change in Marion's expression from the corner of her eye: "Don't be impatient. There will be a chance for you to take revenge, but not now."

After rerolling the map and putting it away, Valeera solemnly said to Marion, who had regained her composure, "Take me over for a field observation."

"After my confirmation and the permission of the Deep Shadow Archduke, we can officially start taking action."

"Recall the dispatched thieves immediately. Everyone except Marion is on standby. Be sure to prepare for battle in advance!"

"yes!"

Valeera looked at Marion and tilted her head outside: "Come on, we must hurry up, the hunting is about to begin."

…

"That's true."

After receiving and reading the note sent by Valeela, Sharlayan handed it to Melinthera and Onyxia for review.

"The dark green barrier makes Marion, who has suffered from the nightmare chaos, feel a familiar and ominous atmosphere. It can basically confirm that there are people from the nightmare army in the temple who are causing trouble."

"Uh-huh!"

After reading the content on the note, Melinsela crumpled the note into a ball with some annoyance.

Under the action of the corrosive power released from the palm of the green dragon princess, the note, which was made of no special material, quickly disappeared.

"Do you need me to summon the Green Dragon Legion to forcefully break into the temple?"

"Need not."

Sarlayan said calmly: "The Green Dragon Legion continues to stay in the Swamp of Sorrows and remain on guard. Don't forget that the remnants of the Gurubashi have not yet appeared."

Onyxia also nodded and added: "There is a high probability that Atalai and Gurubashi are using each other."

"If we use all our strength to attack the Temple of Atal'Haka, that guy Jindu will definitely be hiding in the dark and laughing, and maybe he will take this opportunity to cause something big to happen, completely detonating the already explosive situation at the border of Stranglethorn Valley. "

There are three regions adjacent to Stranglethorn Vale, namely Duskwood, Westfall and Deadwind Pass.

Dusk Forest directly borders Stranglethorn Vale. The main army of the Kingdom of Stormwind is now stationed in Night Town, and can reinforce the frontline military camps on the border of Stranglethorn Vale at any time. It is impossible for the Gurubashi remnants to hide here.

There is a huge mountain on the land road between Westfall and Stranglethorn Vale, but the destination can be reached directly and unimpeded by sea.

Unfortunately, the Kingdom of Stormwind, which has just regained some of its strength, has not yet begun to develop its navy.

The terrain of the Western Wilderness is flat and smooth, and you can see it all at a glance.

Under the patrol of Kul Tiras' merchant ships plying the west coast, it was impossible for the Gurubashi to hide in this wasteland.

What? Deadmines?

This mine does exist, but its name in this timeline is not the Death Mine, but the Moon Creek Mine.

Since the Defias Brotherhood has never appeared, this deep underground mine is still firmly in the hands of the Stormwind Kingdom officials and is under the management of Moon Creek Town.

It is true that the Westfall is still in ruins, but there are still many locals living in this wasteland.

The high-quality copper-iron ore produced in the Moonstream Mine is very important to the Kingdom of Stormwind.

Even if he is temporarily unable to revive the entire Western Wilderness, Varian still has many people stationed in Moon Creek Town to ensure that this vein can produce ore of high quality and quantity.

Since it is impossible to hide in the Western Wilds and Dusk Forest, the only option for the remnants of the Gurubashi is to continue migrating eastward.

To the east of Stranglethorn Vale are Deadwind Pass, Swamp of Sorrows, and the Blasted Lands.

You know with your buttocks that the remnants of the Gurubashi cannot be hiding in a cursed place that is highly monitored by the alliance.

The Deadwind Trail where Karazhan exists is also not suitable for hiding.

As the magic network node of the Deadwind Trail, this guardian tower can easily monitor the movements of the entire Deadwind Trail.

Once a troll shows up, Khadgar will be alerted immediately.

Since it is impossible for the remnants of the Gurubashi to go north and enter the core area of ​​the Kingdom of Stormwind, the answer is obvious.

Their only way out is to hide in the vast but uninhabited Swamp of Sadness.

Sarlayan was sure that Jindu and Mandokir were hiding in some hidden corner and paying close attention to the development of the situation.

Once the green dragon removes the people monitoring the swamp, it will be playing into Gurubashi's hands.

"It's so complicated..." Melinsela smiled bitterly and patted her forehead: "This kind of deceitful mutual calculation is really not suitable for me, so I'll leave it to you to take responsibility."

Sarlayan smiled and shrugged: "In short, in a word, the Green Dragon Army cannot move yet. You must continue to maintain a deterrent effect on the remnants of Gurubashi hiding in the dark."

"As for the Temple of Atal'Hakkar..." Sarlayan touched his chin with interest: "The Nightmare Legion is involved behind this matter, so it doesn't count as breaking the rules if Oni and I take action ourselves."

"Wait for Valeela to send the signal. After resting for a while in Draenor, it's time for us to do some activities."
