Chapter 89 - The War Ahead

After a bout of passion, Aurelia's beauty appeared even more enchanting. Any female is the same; after being nurtured by a male, they shine brightly. Even animals show enhanced plumage; sex has always been a great exercise and a way to deepen emotional connections! 

Aurelia pressed her hand on her lower abdomen, as Arthas had just released a lot inside her. Due to her body's strong flexibility, along with the restoration from the Light, her cervix had already closed, and the semen was locked in her womb, swelling, making a squelching sound with even the slightest movement. "Why did you release so much again?"

"Because I love you!" Arthas caressed Aurelia's delicate body. Just now, they were in a rear-entry position without even removing their clothes, just pulling his pants down a bit, and he had penetrated her to start making love, without changing positions until they finished after over twenty minutes. 

"Don't even think about me getting pregnant before we are married!" Aurelia bit down on Arthas's shoulder, biting hard until blood trickled out, licking it with her soft, pink tongue. 

"I want you to remember me for a lifetime!"

"Ouch! I would remember you for a lifetime even without that! Aurelia, once I build my own territory, we can go have fun together, even playing with our children." Arthas continued to coax Aurelia, imagining all the females pregnant with his children was thrilling and exciting. 

"Hmm, really?" Aurelia leaned emotionally against Arthas's embrace; post-intimacy, women need comfort. Since Arthas always whispered sweet nothings to her, even though this time had been rather excessive, she had no complaints. Women are emotional beings; when they are satisfied, everything can be negotiated. 

"Of course it's true! Our territory will have a lot of forests, higher than Quel'thalas's Mage Tower, larger than Silvermoon Forest! I promise, after you marry me, it will feel just like going home!" Arthas made promises without cost, as it was not difficult to achieve. It really wasn't hard; just get along with the Druids, and what forest wouldn't he want? 

"Un'goro Crater? It's indeed very primitive, but I like it very much." Aurelia, nestled in the man's arms, had misty eyes. 

She never imagined she would be conquered so thoroughly upon stepping out, and her little hole had nearly molded itself to Arthas's shape from continuous play. 

After some warmth, they continued their journey. At this time, Arthas began to miss magic; at least magic could make him fly. He felt the need to learn some magic, of course, in addition to finding time to study after the war. 

Sir Lothar immediately came out to greet them, accompanied by a group of paladins. "Your Highness, welcome back in triumph."

"Without the harassment from those red dragons, our gryphon riders can definitely take down the orcs!" Muradin's laughter was hearty, though fighting the red dragons was not a wise choice. They had also suffered considerable losses as a result, but at least the entire unit had been strengthened and gained insights on dealing with dragons, which was the only good result to speak of. 

"This is the result of everyone's efforts; I'm just one part of it." Arthas would not claim all the credit for himself, preferring fairness over scarcity. Everyone would benefit, enabling continued collaboration. 

"General Aurelia, thank you; I thank you on behalf of the Alliance troops. The rangers provided us with great assistance." Lothar also nodded appreciatively at Aurelia, recognizing that it was already a big favor for the elves to send someone over to help the Alliance. The group arrived at the command hall, where a map was spread out on the conference table in the center. It depicted rough military routes, with Alliance soldiers and Orcs.

"The Horde has been engaged in fierce battles with us, attempting several times to break through our defenses into the Alterac Mountains. They've even enlisted trolls to join the fight, putting us in a very unfavorable position." Lothar briefly introduced the situation, his brow furrowed, clearly indicating the situation was still very dire. 

"Without the trouble of the red dragons, our air superiority should have the upper hand. Is there something countering the knight riders?" Arthas turned his gaze to a particular spot, asking an unrelated question. 

"It's the wolf riders; they can throw a hunting net to temporarily capture the knight riders from their mounts. We've lost quite a few gryphon riders also from them!" Muradin replied, his tone not pleased. Each gryphon rider was extremely valuable. 

Gryphons have large appetites and are very difficult to train; it takes many years to build a relationship to be able to fly. There are various training processes, and every rider is valuable, worth their weight in gold! 

Arthas habitually stroked his chin, took a sip of the coffee Aurelia handed him, which was infused with some herbs, and tasted very sweet. 

"How high can they throw it?" 

"More than ten meters, I guess," Muradin said, somewhat uncertainly.

"Then we'll fly to thirty meters to observe, no fighting, just keep an eye on the orc's movements. I encountered an attack in Grim Batol before; it was very precise, and I suspect someone has betrayed the Alliance's marching route. Orgrim is no slouch either; his strong assault surely indicates he's planning something." Arthas stared at the map. 

"They want to break through the line and enter the Alterac Mountains to launch a surprise attack on Lordaeron!" Lothar pointed to a marching route that led directly to Lordaeron, which had minimal garrison troops. Most of the Alterac Kingdom's forces were dispersed around, and since he was surrounded by other kingdoms, they rarely guarded this point. 

Additionally, the mountain paths were not easy to navigate, so the chances of defense were significantly lower. Currently, the armies of various kingdoms were gathered together under Lothar's command to combat the orcs, leaving the interiors of each kingdom relatively empty with not many troops available. 

"Your Highness, do you know who the insider is?" The admiral was also present, and thanks to Arthas's reminder, his fleet suffered very few losses; after integrating mine warfare recently, the orcs were essentially helpless, unable to contend with his fleet at sea. His fleet's firepower could even cover the battlefield from the bay, bombarding the orcs into pieces!
