Chapter 58: The Skull of Hex (Part 1)

Since entering the troll territory, the weather has become increasingly gloomy. If it rains, the ranger's bow string and the torsion shaft of the blade thrower will become damp and soften, and the tension will be greatly reduced.

Veresa had three spare bow strings, but one was worn out yesterday, and now she only has two spare bow strings. "If it rains..." She was a little annoyed at her lack of experience, "at least five spare bow strings are needed."

"Sister Vereesa, did you find anything? I only have a few pieces of metal and a few beast corpses here."

"I don't have anything here. The trolls haven't stored any food." Vereesa responded to her comrades: Brother Sandien, should we look for it again. It is impossible for such a large settlement to be without food."

The Farstriders treat each other as brothers and sisters. They are looking for food, not because the troops are short of food, but because Shane proposed to look at the amount of food reserves the trolls have to judge how they will respond to the elves' attack.

Verresa didn't know how to judge, but no matter what Xia En said, she felt it was absolutely correct. She felt depressed when she thought that her sister must understand Xia En's thinking.

With a "pop", she kicked away a piece of firewood, and a green shadow quickly flew into the distance in front of her eyes.

"There are still living trolls." She nocked her bow and arrow, aiming at the green figure. The next moment she hesitated, it was a troll cub. After aiming for a while, she put down her bow and arrow.

"Sister Vereesa"

“Brother Sandy, I~~~~”

"No, you did a good job. You have to remember that we are the shield and sword of Quel'Thalas, not butchers. War turns people into beasts. You must stick to your will and don't let it take you away.

All good qualities.”

After listening to the captain's words, Veresa's shoulders relaxed a lot. She didn't have to choose between duty and conscience.

The team returned to camp,

"Vereesa, go and report."

The captain and teammates all smiled kindly, and she thanked her and walked to the commander's tent. Her teammates knew that she liked Xia En. She was not afraid of others knowing, but wanted everyone in the world to know her feelings.

Walking to the entrance of the tent, I heard Xia En talking inside.

"When we destroy the living environment of beasts, the trolls don't have many choices. They can only go to full-scale war or slowly perish. Do you remember what I said about the disadvantages and advantages of the fishing and hunting people?"

"Of course I remember, you also said that every nation will not sit back and wait for destruction, but will inevitably fight back, so regularly destroy their settlements, weaken their strength, make their fight back more and more weak, and finally slowly die out."

Were they chatting while drinking tea, Wen Lei quickly coughed and said: "Farstrider Scout Team, Wen Leisha reports."

"Come in"

"There are no sisters in the military, only class." Both Vereesa and Sylvanas proudly said similar words to Shane. If one were to rank the pride that Shane had seen, the Windrunner sisters would undoubtedly be in the clouds.

"Did you find anything?"

"Your Excellency, Commander, my comrades and I didn't find anything special. The trolls in the settlement only hunted a few wild beasts, and they have no other food reserves." Veresa found that she had gone astray. There was only a map on the table in the tent.

, my sister and Xia En were discussing over the map, blaming themselves for their little jealousy.

"Thank you for your hard work, you go down and rest." How could Sylvanas not know what her sister was thinking, but now is her time.

"Yes" Veresa responded, but she was looking at Xia En. In the army, you can only see the person you are thinking of when reporting. Xia En's appearance is just average, but his eyes are not as careless as other elves, and they often show a sense of concentration.

, can be distinguished from ordinary elves at a glance. Vereesa likes to see him focusing on something, and would not hesitate to spend a whole day with him.

"Would you like to stay and dine together?" Shane asked.

"Objection, you pamper her too much." Sylvanas was so angry that she slapped her hands on the table, stood up and shouted: "Scout Vereesa, please step back quickly."

"Thank you very much, Chief Xia En, but my status does not allow me to enjoy different treatment from my comrades. I will take my leave."

Their pride comes from honor and responsibility. Shane once again learned about the style of Windrunner. He discussed with Sylvanas until very late before returning to his tent.

The dark clouds in the land of trolls have not dispersed in the past few days. There is an ominous aura of witchcraft among them. The closer they get to Zul'Aman, the clearer the feeling becomes. It reminds Shane of Malacath's super-large-scale thick fog spell.

. It will bring some trouble to the army, but he has a lot of trump cards and can make a comeback in any situation.

Two of the four troll altars he had marked were swept away, and there was no sign of a god-summoning ceremony.

"It is only held at the other two altars, but it shouldn't be held again in Aman?"

Thinking of Zul'Aman, Shane was deeply impressed: it is located in the north of Lordaeron, but the environment inside the city is a tropical jungle. The arcanist's manuscripts during the Troll War also recorded: The ancient troll city has a super tropical climate.

Barriers and space-locking enchantments.

"Zul'Aman, a cross-border call is unlikely." After thinking about it for a while, he wrote down today's battlefield diary.

"This morning we found a large settlement. Sylvanas commanded the blade thrower to break open the defenses, and the Red Sun Guards opened the way. They swept away the troll camp very easily. I didn't take action during the whole process, and the magic support was left to Solanlian.

, after several small-scale battles, her spellcasting became smoother and smoother, and her spirit became stronger. It was only a matter of time before she became the fifth ring. However, we found that the trolls did not have much food left in large settlements five times in a row. Our previously formulated strategy was successful.

However, the troll counterattack will take place within a few days. I discussed with Sylvanas to let go of small settlements and only attack large settlements to speed up the pace of the attack. It turned out that she also had this idea, and we hit it off immediately."

Closing the note, Xia En spread his hands to practice his spell-casting skills. The magic power penetrated the newly carved runes in his mind. In an instant, the pyrotechnics were ignited one by one on the top of his head. Then his hands immediately fit together and dissipated the magic power. At the same time, seven maximal effects were maintained.

Pyroblast makes the spirit as hot as being roasted. It can be maintained for up to three seconds without affecting the stability, but it does not take more than one second to be launched in actual combat.

After doing this exercise for ten times, Xia En felt a little dry, so he lay down to meditate and rest.

The army continued to walk in the land of trolls. Facts have proved that Shane and Sylvanas made a correct judgment: the less food, the faster the counterattack.

When the scout fired an arrow, Sylvanas climbed onto Shane's puppet and said, "This is the highest place and the most suitable for command."

"Let me count, ah~~ there are six or seven thousand people, and there are only two thousand soldiers. They actually set up a majestic formation, want to use cannon fodder to consume us, create time for the soldiers to close, and win through random battles?"

"There are no high-level spellcasters either," Shane added.

Sylvanas squinted her eyes and carefully looked at the troll configuration, while saying to Shane: "How to deal with them?"

"Listen to you"

Several orders were quickly issued, and half of the rangers dismounted to form a shooting formation. Ten blade-throwing vehicles were arranged on both wings, and Xia En's Red Sun Guards were arranged on the left and behind.

"Use a formation to fight against each other?" Xia En asked after looking at it.

"Yes, but not right. It depends on whether the troll will be fooled."
