In the "Demon Slayer Canyon", Mannoroth, who had returned without success, was furious, and the canyon echoed with the "rumbling" sound of the abyss lord punching the mountain with his fist.
The demons under Mannoroth all hid in the distance tremblingly. After the man's anger subsided slightly and stopped destroying the surrounding environment, a slightly smaller fellow abyss lord approached him cautiously.
"Master, what should we do next? Do we want to ask Lord Archimonde for help?"
"No! Of course not!!"
Just as Sharlayan expected, Mannoroth rejected his subordinate's proposal without hesitation.
His eyes were flashing with dark green evil energy, and he ordered loudly like thunder: "The small setback before was just because we fell into the enemy's trap by mistake!"
"If it were a frontal battle, how could a mere mortal and a few large reptiles stop the invincible front of the Burning Legion?"
Pulling out his double-headed war spear from the weapons rack on the side, Mannoroth temporarily restrained his violent anger and said in a deep voice to his subordinates who were waiting for new orders nearby: "The enemy will not miss this opportunity for us to retreat and rest.
.”
"Within a week at the latest, they will integrate their existing forces to launch a general attack here."
"clang!"
Mannoroth smashed the tail of the double-headed war spear deeply into the ground, and shouted with great momentum: "Then let them come! This time we will use the terrain advantage to face the enemy head-on! Let those ants look at the Burning Legion,
Look at the true strength of Mannoroth!"
The Burning Legion has traversed the universe for countless years under the leadership of the Three Giants. Except for a big fall in Azeroth 10,000 years ago, the demon army has never been defeated at the strategic level.
Mannoroth does have pride and arrogance. As the number one general under Archimonde the Defiler, even if we look at the entire universe, there are not many people who can easily control him.
The combat power of a demigod is not a big deal, let alone a senior demigod like Mannoros. Even in the Burning Legion where there are many experts, a demon officer of his level is still a very important combat power.
Mannoroth has always been extremely proud of his strength.
You can say that he is not very smart and can easily be fooled by the enemy's plans.
But in terms of single-round combat power, under the Defilers and Deceivers, no one in the huge Burning Legion dares to say that they can surely defeat Mannoroth.
As the vanguard of the Burning Legion, Mannoroth has never suffered defeat. After all, with his smooth cerebral cortex, stepping on the traps laid by the enemy is a basic operation.
But so far, every time after suffering a loss, Mannoroth has been able to quickly regain the ground from the enemy by relying on strong hard power.
The demons who followed him were no stranger to Mannoroth's harsh words, and they also believed that this powerful lord of the abyss could lead them to regain the victory that should have belonged to the Legion.
"snort!"
Mannoroth, with the flames of war burning in his heart, glared fiercely in the direction of the Warsong lumberyard.
"Reptiles, let's let you be happy for a while. If we fight again in the future, I will definitely let you repay this humiliation with interest!"
…
After Medivh Shiran left, Sharlayan also bid farewell to Valeera, Guyir, Vol'jin, Magatha and others and set off on the journey again.
After transforming into his griffin form, Sarlayan carried Alleria back to the Alliance camp at the foot of Mount Hyjal.
During the time that Sarlayan left, the armies of all alliance countries had worked together to initially build this mountain fortress.
The strong city wall built by humans and dwarves is being raised day by day. The dwarf artillery and Quel'Thalas' magic cannon are ready to go and can be moved to the top of the city at any time.
The training area in the camp is also a lively scene, with joint armies from various countries practicing coordinated operations under the leadership of their respective officers.
With the initial cooperation experience in joining forces to fight the enemy in the Cursed Land, the feeling of unfamiliarity between the legions of various countries has been alleviated.
Since the focus of the alliance countries is still on the homeland of the Eastern Kingdom, among this patchwork Kalimdor expeditionary force, Duke Sarlayan Deep Shadow's identity and prestige are undoubtedly the highest.
Therefore, at the last alliance meeting before the expeditionary force set off, the leaders of various countries appointed Sarlayan Deep Shadow as the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force based on the principle of the minority obeying the majority.
Although he has a seemingly impressive title on his head, Sarlayan has always had a clear understanding of his abilities.
His strengths lie in planning and planning outside the battlefield, and he is better at strategy than tactics.
If necessary, he can also rush forward as a sharp knife on the battlefield.
But if he is asked to command the army... it is really a bit difficult.
As the saying goes, there is a specialty in a profession.
Rather than forcing yourself to give random orders, it is better to leave professional matters to professionals.
Because of the natural disasters that the mainland is facing, the alliance countries are not very concerned about Kalimdor's reinforcements. Most of them only send some second-line troops symbolically, and the generals leading the armies are not well-known in the international community.
In this case, after soliciting the opinions of the heads of state, Sarlayan simply handed over most of the command to Quel'Thalas, who had dedicated his best efforts to rescue his distant relatives.
Oh, by the way, there are also the Nightborne and Highmountain Tauren who also sent a large number of elite troops to help.
The leader of the Nightborne side is Lady Thalyssra, the chief advisor to Archmage Elisande, and she is accompanied by Aluriel, the leader of the magic swordsmen who is responsible for commanding the army.
The Gaoling Tauren are even more heavyweight. Their chief, Ulan Gaoling, personally led the reinforcements to join in. The four major tribes of Gaoling, Hemane, Skyhorn and Blood Totem all gave their full support and gave them enough support.
To save the face of Quel'Thalas who initiated the call.
Of course, the Highmountain tauren sent such large-scale reinforcements not just at the invitation of Quel'Thalas.
This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading! The Broken Islands have been separated from the ancient continent of Kalimdor for many years, and the Highmountain Tauren and Kalimdor Tauren have not communicated with each other for thousands of years.
Taking advantage of this expedition to Kalimdor, Ulan Highmountain, the warchief of the Highmountain Tribe, wanted to reestablish contact with his distant relatives.
For such an important matter, Ulan thought that just sending his men here would not show enough importance. He simply led the team himself to join the expeditionary force, intending to have a direct interview with Cain Bloodhoof, the great chief of the Kalimdor Tauren.
The several legion commanders sent by Quel'Thalas are all well-known generals in the Eastern Kingdoms, and the second-line troops in the alliance countries do not mind accepting their command.
In a makeshift joint army, the most feared thing is to command two troops.
With the prestigious Duke Sarlayan Deep Shadow in charge of all military affairs, the commanders of the major legions in Quel'Thalas quickly integrated their assigned troops and initially formed combat effectiveness.
Originally, Sarlayan wanted Alleria, one of the five heroes of the Alliance Expeditionary Force, to lead an army alone.
But Alleria, who was as free as the wind, handed over the task of integrating the army to Halduron, and quietly followed Valeera out of the military camp and ran around.
Sarlayan was a little dumbfounded by this, but he had to admit that Alleria's unique behavior did help him a lot. Otherwise, it would be hard to say who would win in the melee in the east of Ashenvale.
After sending Alleria back this time, Sarlayan warned her to stop running around.
Jarod is still trying his best to slow down the advance of the Burning Legion's main force in Timbermaw Fortress. The demons will not be able to attack Mount Hyjal in a short period of time.
During this time, Alleria was able to catch up on the work progress she had previously put aside.
It's not that Sharlayan has any prejudice against Halduron. Brightwing is a qualified officer who abandoned the lazy Halduron, but... Alleria can obviously do better than him.
"Okay~ I understand."
Before leaving, Alleria smiled and rubbed Sarlayan's head: "I will listen to you this time. Next, I will stay in the camp to train the army and wait patiently for the Burning Legion to come.
.”
Alleria sighed with regret: "It's a pity that I couldn't participate in the battle to siege Mannoroth, so I had to give up the opportunity to perform to the orcs."
As a meritorious general who had fought against the orcs for a long time in the Second War, Alleria was surprised to find that the tribal orcs under the command of Gu Yin'er were greatly different from the group of crazy beasts in her memory.
different.
With Sharlayan's guarantee, Alleria began to believe that the orcs really had plans to atone for their sins and integrate into Azeroth.
"but……"
Alleria confirmed to Sarlayan sternly: "Can Mannoroth really be defeated with the current strength of the Warsong Lumberyard?"
Sarlayan also stopped joking and nodded to her solemnly: "As long as Gu Yin'er can integrate armies from three different forces, it will be absolutely enough in terms of combat power alone."
"And in this battle, the performance of the army is not decisive. In the end, it still depends on whether the decapitation team can successfully complete the mission."
