Sylvanas, who was sitting in the rear, had a serious expression. Except for the "non-combat zone" episode, today's battle was no different from usual.
She knew very well how important it was to Quel'Thalas to capture Zul'Aman as soon as possible. If it weren't for her status as the commander-in-chief, she would have been on the front line as an ordinary ranger, using bows and arrows to teach the trolls how to behave.
Unfortunately, she knew very well that no matter how strong she was, she could only deal with a few hundred trolls at most. They were facing thousands of trolls now, and she had to stick to her post.
Every time this happened, she would get angry. This position of commander-in-chief should have belonged to her sister Alleria, and she could do what she wanted most on the front line.
However, the elder sister decided to take matters into her own hands and led a troop to the south to join in the pursuit of the orcs. As a result, she now has to stay in the rear, leaving her younger sister to deal with the enemies on the front line alone.
There is no way around this. There must be a direct bloodline of Windrunner to coordinate everything from the rear.
The battle lasted for three or four hours. The trolls lost many people, but the high elves could not attack either. The army had to withdraw first and rest before organizing the next attack.
"Be prepared to retrieve the bodies of your comrades."
Seeing that the battle was about to end, Sylvanas gave an order to an officer beside her. This was what made her most anxious. Trolls have a horrific tradition of cannibalism. How could the noble Quel'dorei allow the trolls to
Desecrating a corpse?
Therefore, Sylvanas had to reserve an army every time and make great efforts to recover the dead and wounded after the battle. Fortunately, so far, during her period of commanding the army, no one of her kind had fallen into the hands of the enemy.
However, even so, such a war has brought many high elves to the edge of collapse. They are not afraid of dying on the battlefield, but are afraid of being treated cruelly after death.
But today, the situation on the battlefield is a little different.
"General, you see what those people are doing!"
Lor'themar, who has a cautious personality, has been paying attention to the camps in non-combatant areas. He does not believe that this group composed of many high-level officials will do things in vain.
Sylvanas was also suddenly startled, and then heard a loudspeaker shouting from the camp.
"Considering ethics and morality, we will send teams to bury the dead and injured. After the two sides cease fighting, please return to their respective camps and leave the battlefield to us.
Don’t make unnecessary moves, violators will be punished by us. Attention! This is a warning! This is a warning!”
This kind of shouting was repeated three times in Common, Elvish and Troll. Originally, the battle was not completely over, but with their interference, the two sides, who were already at the end of their fight, could no longer fight.
"What do these guys mean?"
Sylvanas said hesitantly, while Lor'themar said thoughtfully.
"literal meaning."
A team of 300 people, composed of sand trolls and Master Ladaran, ran out of the camp carrying more than a hundred stretchers and pulling a dozen simple carts.
"Quick, quick, quick! Move quickly! Whether it is an elf or a troll, we must save it! Whether it is alive or dead, we must bring it back! Whoever dares to stop us, teach him a lesson and try not to hurt others!"
Angegagagu trotted away, shouting orders, and the energetic young men behind him responded loudly.
Amani didn't understand what these straight-backed trolls in golden armor were doing. The dead bodies on the battlefield were their important rations, even for some wounded who were difficult to treat.
Some Amani still wanted to grab the corpse on the ground, but what followed was a few arrows grazing their fingertips, nailed in front of their feet, or a magic spell that missed.
Not only robbing the dead and wounded elves, but also robbing the dead and wounded of their own race, they are treated the same.
Many Amani wanted to fight back, but they soon discovered that the elves on the opposite side were also treated equally.
Elves naturally do not have the habit of cannibalism, but after the battle, they also have the habit of filling up the injured trolls they find with an arrow.
But today these elves wanted to replenish their arrows, but they were also blocked by this team.
This attitude of not helping each other instantly aroused unanimous dissatisfaction on both sides. Both sides wanted to take action against this outrageous team. But at this moment, a large amount of magic and crossbow arrows hit the open space in front of them.
Everyone turned around and saw that in the camp that was not a war zone, there were soldiers and mages standing ready.
"This is your final warning! Follow our rules!"
They were also shouting in three languages, and this time both sides finally learned the lesson. After all, both sides were exhausted soldiers who needed to rest, while the other side was an energetic team with a great wizard who could influence a war.
"I'm so sorry, but I have to ask you to help me shout."
Standing behind the loudspeaker, Li De said to Antonidas with some embarrassment.
The great wizard said nonchalantly.
"You're welcome, why are there so few people here who know Elvish? In fact, in ancient times, Elvish was a compulsory course for human mages during their apprenticeship period.
It's a pity that as we improve magic, many magics can be taught in common language. Only some very advanced magics still need to be guided in Elvish."
When he said this, Antonidas had a very complicated mood. On the one hand, he hoped that the human race's arcane research could be completely independent, and that one day the most profound magic could be guided in the common language.
But on the other hand, as a great wizard, he hopes that mages can study arcana with an academic mentality and treat it as a philosophy rather than a means of combat. Since you want to study magic, you must learn Elvish.
Good traceability work.
It's a pity that in Dalaran now, more mages still stay at the level of magic, only pursuing learning powerful magic quickly, easily and cost-effectively, instead of pursuing the truth hidden in magic.
In the long run, this will cause big problems!
Of course, Antonidas couldn't talk to Li De about these things. Now he was more concerned about the next step in the camp after rescuing the dead and injured.
A layman watches the excitement, an expert watches the door.
Regarding these things done in non-combatant areas, most elves and trolls just think that they are just looking for trouble and deliberately disgusting both sides.
But Lor'themar Theron was greatly shocked. Before he saw what the other party was going to do next, he had already realized the political wisdom hidden behind this behavior.
The casualties on both sides in this battle were considerable. The total number of wounded was more than a hundred. The stretchers brought out by the rescue team were not enough. Dozens were carried back by soldiers while carrying stretchers.
Thanks to the strength of the sand trolls, if humans were to do this job, they would have to be elite warriors like Martinlei and Pumillo.
There were even more dead people. The dozen or so large trucks were all full, and there were even some that could not be brought back at once. However, with the previous deterrence, Amani did not act rashly again, and watched the camp send people out for the second time.
, were taken away by those corpses.
After bringing all the dead and wounded into the non-combatant zone, the camp really started to get busy.
The sand trolls and Zandalari witch doctors are doing their best to rescue the wounded, and for safety's sake, the wounded must be treated separately to ensure that the elves and trolls who have recovered a little strength will not continue to attack the camp.
Not only these witch doctors, but also a dozen mages in Dalaran also took out precious healing potions and poured a few drops from the crystal bottles.
Although there are only a few drops, it can be diluted into a small basin with enough water. The diluted medicine can be poured into the injured to achieve a very good therapeutic effect.
Li De, who was standing on guard at the gate of the camp, looked at the colorful magic lights flashing in the treatment area. He felt sorry for these mages, and half-truthfully joked to the great wizard.
"Dalaran really spent a lot of money this time. It's a pity that I am a poor man now. I will definitely make compensation for you in the future."
Li De really wasn't pretending to be poor when he said this. The Protectorate of Hanhai has developed well and already has considerable gold reserves. But what kind of people are mages? To train a mage, even the same weight of gold can't be seen.
use.
Those potions looked expensive from the light, and Li De really didn't dare pretend to be a big-tailed eagle.
Antonidas was greatly amused.
"Your Majesty, you are joking. These mages are my most trusted partners. They understand that what we are doing is a cause that changes the world. And when we return to Dara, I will naturally reward them for their contribution in this incident."
Li De's cheeks were sore with envy.
Listen to me! I casually said "reward" and took it over without raising my eyes. I don't know when I will have the courage to spend a lot of money on construction.
