Azeroth Shadow of the Moon

Northwest of Felwood, on the edge of a mountain bordering Darkshore.

The Sentinel General Shandris, holding a longbow, frowned and looked down the steep mountain wall. The thick humidity unique to the sea made the visibility of the Dark Coast very low at night.

"Santis."

A strange creature whose upper body is a human and the lower body is a deer dexterously jumped from a nearby mountain wall to Shandris.

The upper body of this half-human, half-deer creature has a beautiful appearance and a good figure. The vital parts of the body are covered by pure natural armor composed of leaves and branches. The long green hair like wicker is scattered on the back of the deer.

Hearing the other party's call, Shandris turned around and smiled, "Lunara, did you find anything?"

These humanoid creatures are called dryads by the night elves, and they are the daughters of Cenarius, the demigod of the forest.

Dryads love nature as much as their father, Cenarius. Most dryads have a lively and peaceful personality, but when facing enemies that destroy nature, dryads will also show strong fighting power. It is the night elves in Kalim One of the continent's most important natural allies.

The dryad named Lunara in front of Shandris is the eldest daughter of Cenarius.

Unlike her kind-hearted sisters, Lunara has zero tolerance for any creatures that destroy nature.

As the satyrs surfaced, their fel powers wreaked havoc on the Felwood environment.

Lunara couldn't tolerate this kind of blasphemy. When she learned that the Sentinels were looking for Satyr's lair, she rushed from the Holy Mountain of Hyjal and volunteered to join Shandris' team to search for Satyr.

Lunara shook her head regretfully, a look of displeasure appeared on her exquisite appearance.

"The group of distorted creatures fled to the vicinity and disappeared completely. The last traces point to the steep mountain wall below."

Shandris lowered his head and pondered, "But satyrs don't have wings and don't have the ability to fly. How did they escape our sight?"

Lunara: "Stealth?"

Shandris denied, "No, in order to guard against Sartre's stealth, I specially asked the rangers to bring owl companions, and any stealth can't escape their perception."

Lunara walked up to Shandris and looked down, "In other words, there should be a secret passage nearby? That's why you sent a letter to warn Andrea Moonshadow's apprentices?"

"That's right."

Shandris narrowed his eyes slightly, "I think the group of satyrs might have escaped to the Darkshore along a secret passage that I don't know where the entrance is, but I didn't find any evidence, it can only be regarded as an intuition."

"I believe you."

Lunara patted Shandris on the shoulder and said in support, "Occasionally, battle-hardened fighters will instinctively make guesses that are close to the facts based on their rich experience."

"Considering the situation in Darkshore, I'd rather believe it now."

"Thank you, Lunara."

Shandris said sternly, "If a large number of satyrs are allowed to flee to the Dark Seashore, it will be more difficult to encircle them. We must find this possible secret passage as soon as possible."

...

In the cliff cave on the Black Coast, the members of the pioneer team led by Leticia entered the cave to explore lightly.

Due to the long-term influence of the water vapor from the cliff spring, the humidity in the cave is very heavy, and the ground and mountain walls are covered with wet moss.

Leticia and the others had to choose their footing carefully, otherwise they might step on the moss and slip if they didn't pay attention.

This cave is roughly divided into two floors. The entrance for Leticia and the others is located on the upper floor, near the cliff waterfall outside. After some exploration, nothing was found.

But as soon as she entered the lower floor along the long gentle slope, Leticia's expression changed immediately.

She raised her left hand high to make a stop gesture, and at the same time beckoned Ferrian to her side.

None of the Pioneer Team members present were rookies, and most of them had experienced the baptism of the War of the Ancients.

They saw something was wrong from Leticia's suddenly solemn expression, and Ferrien in the form of a panther jumped to her side with silent and deft steps.

During the whole process, the two of them did not have any verbal communication, but gestured through gestures.

Leticia pointed to the cave on the left, and at the same time followed Andrea's tactical gesture to signal Ferrien to stay in stealth and go in for investigation.

Ferrien in the form of a panther nodded silently, his figure disappeared from the spot immediately, and quietly sneaked into the passage on the west side of the lower floor.

Leticia and the others patiently stayed where they were and waited for Ferrien's investigation results. Leticia felt restless after a long absence. She subconsciously bit the nail of her left thumb.

‘The aura of evil energy really made me guess right? '

A sharp light flashed in her eyes, and Leticia clenched the moon wheel in her hand, trying hard to calm down her boiling emotions.

Although in the past 200 years, under the guidance of Andrea and Shandis, Leticia has learned to control her hatred of the Burning Legion.

But she will never forget what happened in the past. After smelling the evil energy for a long time, Leticia unconsciously recalled the scene of her father's tragic death.

'Calm down, Andrea said, the more critical the moment is, the more calm you must be, impulsiveness will blind people's reason and make people subconsciously make wrong decisions. '

Taking a deep breath silently, Leticia slowly adjusted her breathing.

"Hiss~"

An imperceptible light sound came from the cave, and Leticia's expression turned serious. This is a special signal for Moonlight Town scouts, and it means that there are enemies ahead.

Leticia clenched her left hand and raised her fist high. All the members of the Pioneer Team clenched their weapons and got ready to fight.

When Ferrien sent the second round of signals, as Leticia swung down her raised hand heavily, several heavily armed warriors rushed into the cave first.

Leticia landed in the middle of the team strictly according to the formation requirements. When she saw the scene in the cave, she felt that the blood in her whole body was gathering towards her head.

In the center of the wide cave was a rough stone platform, which was now stained with dark red blood.

A male night elf who had long been dead was tied to the platform. Several ugly creatures with curved horns on their heads, cracked sheep's hooves, and purple fluff covered their bodies were dancing happily around the platform. .

The strong smell of blood in the cave made the members of the frontier team uncomfortable. The miserable corpses of the compatriots who had been disemboweled were placed before their eyes and sacrificed alive. No one could remain completely calm under such circumstances.

An experienced soldier in the front row shouted in a low voice while charging, "Demon! Pay for our dead compatriots!"

There are only a dozen or so satyrs in the cave. Except for the few who presided over the living sacrifice ceremony around the platform, the rest of the low-level satyrs formed a circle outside the platform. They were obviously unprepared for the sudden attack.

"Boom!"

The most protruding warrior slapped the one-handed shield on the face of one of the satyrs, sharp teeth mixed with blood sprayed out of the satyr's mouth.

At this moment, Leticia didn't have the smirk she had when she played pranks in the past. She threw the moon wheel in her hand with a cold face, and at the same time gave orders in a passionate tone.

"Attack! You only need to leave one alive, and get rid of this group of traitors who have turned to the devil!"
