"Will there be any problems if we come here at this time?" Vereesa sat behind Aaron and asked in a low voice.

In order to rush to Farstriders' Camp as soon as possible, Aaron said goodbye to Liadrin and immediately took Vereesa to Farstriders' Camp on a gryphon because he was worried about the safety of his second sister.,Vereesa didn't express any objection at first, but when the gryphon flew over Eversong Woods, Vereesa suddenly realized that the two of them might be in danger while flying in the air so openly.

"What could go wrong?" Aaron concentrated on controlling the gryphon to fly at high speed under the moonlight. Because the light at night was not very good, most of Aaron's energy was focused on watching the road to avoid straying from the correct direction. Fortunately, there were Elrendar River and Lake Elrendar on the ground, and Aaron only needed to fly along these waters to reach the destination smoothly.

"Is there Troll hiding in the woods below?" Vereesa said with some worry. After dealing with Troll for so many years, the elves have long realized that in the forest, Forest Troll is everywhere.

With the cover of the moss covering their bodies and the experience accumulated from living and fighting in the forest for tens of thousands of years, the Forest Trolls are even more agile and stealthy than the rangers in their movements in the Eversong Woods. The two of them are flying at a height that is almost close to the tops of the trees in the Eversong Woods. If there are a few cunning Forest Trolls ambushing below, the two of them may be beaten down.

"Oh, you're talking about this..." Aaron understood Vereesa's worries. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed really eye-catching to fly around on a pure white griffon at night, so he controlled the griffin to land, replaced it with a black griffin and took off again.

"This should make you feel more at ease."

"So you can summon griffons of other colors?" Vereesa is used to Aaron coming up with all kinds of weird things. Isn't it just a griffin of a different color? It's nothing to make a fuss about.

After changing their mounts, the two quickly and slowly followed the guidance of Lake Elrendar on the ground and flew to Farstriders' Camp on the southeastern lakeshore. On the way, they also passed by Farstrider Lodge, which was almost attacked by the Trolls last time. This time, the number of rangers stationed here was even less than last time.

According to the rangers stationed here, Sylvanas was really provoked by Troll this time, and all the troops capable of mobile combat were put into the frontline war.

Most of the rangers left in Farstrider Lodge are wounded soldiers who were injured in the recent war. However, in order to prevent this escape route from being cut off by the Trolls, Sylvanas still left some elite rangers here.

"But after the last battle, these little Horde and Troll nearby will probably not attack here again. We are still safe." Halduron, who fought side by side with Aaron last time, was shocked. It was very thorough. "Last time Amani Trolls would not hesitate to bypass the frontline camp to attack here, mainly because it was to rescue Zul'jin. This time their main combat goal should still be to clear out our forces in the south of Eversong Woods."

"You two should be able to catch up with the fiercest battle at this time, but it's a pity that I can't leave here to join the battle," Halduron said to Aaron and the others in a very regretful tone.

"It sounds like you're not worried about losing on the front line?"

Hearing Aaron's question, Halduron smiled and said, "How could we lose? Those Troll have been suppressed and beaten by us all these years. Even if they break out once at all costs, and this time the Ranger General comes with the main force, what kind of disturbance can they make?"

Farewell to Halduron who regretted missing an important battle, Aaron and Vereesa continued to fly towards Farstriders' Camp,

After flying over Elrendar Falls, which split Lake Elrendar into two parts, Aaron and Vereesa saw the fire coming from Farstriders' Camp in the distance.

"It shouldn't have been so bright last time we came here, right?" Aaron asked in surprise. When he and Vereesa came to Farstriders' Camp last time, although there were a lot of lights on here, they were just for lighting. But now the situation is a bit scary. Aaron can see the firelight in the camp from a long distance away.

Farstriders' Camp, located on the shore of the lake, itself is composed of a group of elf-style buildings. This camp is large enough to accommodate thousands of rangers stationed in the camp. At the same time, in order to prevent Troll from Zul'Aman from sneak attacks, wooden walls are also built around the camp. When necessary, it can be transformed into a fortress that can swallow every inch of the attacker's flesh.

However, something is wrong with the current state of Farstriders' Camp. The soaring fire not only illuminates every corner of the camp, but also illuminates the sky above, making the sky above Farstriders' Camp appear flaming red. Even the part of the lake near Lake Elrendar that is close to Farstriders' Camp reflects the blazing and dazzling firelight.

"Could it be that Troll set a fire in the camp?" Aaron murmured. Looking at the situation in front of him, what came to his mind were classic hometown plays such as Bowang Slope Burning the Camp, and he was inevitably worried about the situation of the elf rangers in the camp.

"No, it shouldn't be that bad." Vereesa was still very calm and analyzed to Aaron: "There was no sound of fighting nearby, and there was nothing unusual in the woods below. Although I don't know what was going on over there in the camp, the fire should have been set by my own people."

"You set the fire yourself? To prevent Troll from attacking at night?" Aaron muttered, controlling the gryphon to fly straight to Farstriders' Camp who was illuminated by the fire.

However, just after the two of them approached the camp, an arrow with a shrill whistle suddenly passed by the two of them. Aaron was so frightened that he hurriedly controlled the gryphon to stop and float in mid-air.

"Don't be nervous, this arrow is just a warning." Vereesa patted Aaron on the shoulder and said.

Aaron nodded, and he could see that the opponent's arrow was obviously intended as a warning, so he would choose to hover in the air. Otherwise, facing the attack from below, he would have controlled the gryphon to change its flight path to avoid being hit.

After shooting a warning arrow, the ranger below immediately shouted loudly, "Report your identity!"

"It's me, Vereesa, let's come and take a look at the situation." Vereesa responded immediately. Compared to Aaron who just passed by in a hurry last time, of course it was more reliable to report her identity. In order to prove her identity, Vereesa also specially said it with Thalassian.

"It turns out to be Miss Vereesa, welcome home."

After confirming that the opponent was relieved of hostility, Aaron then controlled the griffon to fly to the ground and found an open space to land at random.

Exuberant bonfires can be seen everywhere in Farstriders' Camp. These blazing flames illuminate the entire camp and the surrounding areas like daylight. The rangers with nervous expressions hurriedly came and went in the camp according to the commander's orders, looking as if they were ready to go into battle at any time.

"The battle is very fierce." After Vereesa stood still on the ground, he looked at the rangers around him who were obviously in a state of high tension. He raised his eyebrows, grabbed a ranger from the roadside and asked Sylvanas where he was currently, then she took Aaron and walked in that direction.
