I traveled through time and space and became the Archbishop of Stormwind!

Alvin walked quickly to Captain Lenara, his voice a little sharp with excitement.

"Captain Lenara, I'm sorry, but this is a matter of great importance. I need to understand this more carefully. Regarding the orc group that fled to Dire Maul, are you completely sure that Cho'gall himself was among them? Is it possible that he was just a decoy or reconnaissance team?"

Lenara met his gaze and answered decisively,

"Lord Alwyn, the sentinels we were pursuing were all exceptional hunters. They clearly saw, the moment the orc squad retreated into the Dire Maul entrance, an exceptionally corpulent two-headed ogre, dressed in the robes of a Twilight Cult leader and holding a strange tome, disappear into the shadows within the gate, surrounded by numerous orcs. His physical features perfectly match those of Cho'gall we know. We are over 90% certain it is him."

"Ninety percent... that's enough!"

A fiery light suddenly flashed in Alvin's eyes, as excited as a hunter who finally locked onto the trace of his prey.

He clenched his fists tightly, as if he could already feel the touch of victory.

"I've finally caught him! If I can put an end to him here, in this cursed place, then many threats can be easily resolved! This long hunt will finally come to an end!"

Now that the crucial intelligence had been confirmed, Shandris no longer hesitated. Turning to Lenara, she issued clear instructions: "Captain Lenara, as planned, the fleet will continue the blockade of the island, advancing cautiously to eliminate any remaining remnants. Alvin, Greenshade, Akalissa, I will depart immediately for Dire Maul. We must stop Cho'gall before he achieves his ulterior motives!"

Without much farewell, the four of them once again climbed onto Akalitraza's back.

The red dragon girl let out a long roar, spread her wings, broke away from the flagship, and flew towards the coastline of Felwood.

Looking down from the sky, Feralas is a vast and pristine rainforest. The huge ancient trees are like a green ocean, with ancient Kaldorei ruins and winding rivers occasionally appearing in between.

And in the depths of the rainforest, an area emitting an ominous magical aura stands out - that is the Hammer of Doom.

From a distance, it looked like a pale, dead magical city, with broken spires piercing the sky. The distorted magical force field was faintly fluctuating like a transparent shield, making the surrounding air seem sticky and strange.

However, just as Akalitrassa was carrying everyone to try to approach that area, when they were still quite some distance away from the outskirts of Dire Hammer, something strange happened!

Without warning, several blazing arcane missiles shot out from the seemingly peaceful ruins below. They cut through the air, emitting a shrill scream, and accurately hit Akalitrassa's wing roots and abdomen!

"Roar--!"

The red dragon girl roared in pain, and her huge body instantly lost balance, rolling down like a hit bird.

The violent shaking almost threw the people on the dragon's back away.

"Enemy attack! It's about to fall!"

At the critical moment, Alvin roared and waved his hands with all his strength. Soft arcane light instantly enveloped Shandris, Green Shadow, and Akalitrassa who was transforming back into human form.

Floating technique!

The three people's falling speed suddenly slowed down, and they floated towards the dense jungle like dandelions.

However, when Alvin was about to cast a spell on himself, an arcane missile suddenly hit him!

"what!"

The intense pain interrupted Alvin's concentration on casting the spell. He failed to cast the spell on himself in time and fell straight to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut!

Alvin rolled violently in the air, feeling like his brain was about to be thrown away, and was unable to concentrate on casting spells. Just when he thought everything was over, a blue lightning flashed past from the side as if teleporting.

An elegant and swift blue dragon swooped down at an incredible speed, and at the last moment before Alvin was about to touch the ground, it carefully swallowed him into its mouth with its huge dragon kiss!

Alvin was still in shock. He felt a black screen before his eyes, and then a cold and powerful force supported him. Then he felt overweight, as if his falling speed was rapidly decreasing. Then the sky suddenly brightened, and he was gently placed on the soft grass.

He held his head which was about to explode, struggled to open his eyes and looked up, only to see a huge blue dragon!

Alvin recognized Blue Dragon's identity at a glance. He didn't know many Blue Dragons.

"Stellagosa! Why is it you?!"

Alvin cried out in surprise.

The elegant blue dragon lady had transformed back into her high elf form, her pretty face still as cold as ice. She turned her head away, her tone a little stiff: "I, I just happened to be passing by this area, smelled some trouble, and came over to take a look. I didn't know you were here!"

Alvin almost laughed out loud when he saw her trying to hide something.

"Passing by? What a coincidence? Stella, you actually followed us, right? I knew you wouldn't really leave."

"Who, who followed you! Stop being so self-indulgent!"

Stellagosa was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. Her fur instantly stood up and she turned around and made to leave.

"Ouch!"

Alvin immediately covered his temples and made a painful expression on his face. Although his acting was exaggerated, it was timely enough.

"Ah! I think I fell on my head just now... It hurts... I can't move..."

Stellagosa stopped in her tracks instantly and turned back hesitantly, looking at his "painful" expression. Even though she knew that he was probably pretending, she still couldn't help but frown in worry.

"You...you scoundrel!"

She stamped her feet, but ultimately did not leave.

After breathing a sigh of relief, Alvin immediately looked towards the direction where his companions had fallen with worry: "I don't know what happened to the others. I have to go find them!"

"They should be fine."

Stellagosa returned to her cold tone.

"I saw their levitation spell worked. They all landed in that direction, not too far from here. The jungle cushioned the impact of their fall."

She pointed toward a dense rainforest.

Alvin felt relieved, but then anger surged in his heart: "Damn Orcs! They even set up an air ambush! I almost fell into their trap!"

Stellagosa looked at him as if he were an idiot and sighed helplessly.

"You... you don't know anything, yet you dare to fly towards Dire Maul so brazenly?"

Alvin was stunned. "Aside from the orcs, is there anything else I should be careful of here?"

"It seems that the two Kaldorei only know that this is a forbidden area, but they don't fully understand why it is a forbidden area."

Stellagosa shook her head. At this moment, she looked very much like the study committee member in Alvin's previous life, teaching her, the poor student.

"After the War of the Ancients, the Highborne who occupied this place became obsessed with studying uncontrolled arcane magic. Not only did they themselves fall into madness, they also created a large number of magical guardians. These constructs are devoid of reason and will only follow ancient instructions to automatically attack any invaders who approach Dire Maul—including all flying units. You just triggered the defense mechanism of those uncontrolled guardians. How dare you just barge in without any preparation?"

Alvin finally understood and scratched his head: "This... no one told us!"

"The Kaldorei may only know not to get close, but they may not be clear about the specific source of the threat."

Delagosa analyzed, then she looked at Alvin,

"So, what are you going to do now? The team is scattered, and the target location is fraught with danger. I suggest you retreat, regroup, and come back with a plan."

"no!"

Alvin flatly refused, his eyes becoming firm again.

"The team has dispersed, but the goal remains the same. Cho'gall is inside. Every second of delay brings him closer to his goal. I believe Shandris and Greenshade will make the same choice - as long as we keep moving forward, we will eventually meet at Dire Maul!"

Stellagosa looked at his determination, was silent for a moment, and finally sighed.

"Okay, since you've made up your mind. Then... go and do your thing. I can't always save you. I... I'm leaving."

After saying that, she turned around again.

"Oh! I feel dizzy! I think I had a concussion just now..."

Alvin immediately repeated his old trick, holding his forehead and shaking his body, looking very frail.

Stellagosa froze again, her back to Alvin, her shoulders hunched slightly.

Finally, a sigh of regret was heard: "I really should have let you fall to your death!"
