Sylvanas was quite surprised. She had indeed heard that the human lord in the south was like a nouveau riche, using the most expensive and sharpest metals to make weapons for his subordinates. She never thought that he would exaggerate to this extent.
No bragging, no blackmail.
If Silvermoon City also provides infantry with this equipment, their combat power can at least be doubled.
Unfortunately, the entire Yonge Forest does not produce high-end metals such as thorium or mithril. Elf craftsmen can carve the most beautiful patterns out of an ordinary piece of steel armor, but they cannot change that it is just a piece of steel armor after all.
A fact.
In terms of protective power alone, it is far inferior to that of human knights.
"This is the Knights of Stratholme?" Sylvanas asked the eldest sister.
Alleria raised her forehead: "Who else is there besides that guy?"
The most diligent player in the entire league is McDonald, who simply doesn't regard money as money.
Rarely, Silvermoon City was actually internally injured by the heroic spirit of a human lord. If this report is reported, it will probably become another shame for Silvermoon City.
Orgrim, who was commanding the army, was a little crazy: "What's going on? How come there are human cavalry behind us? What do the clans in the south do for food? They were all killed? Not even a messenger?"
He couldn't figure it out. The five thousand clans he deployed to block the Stratholme army in the south, with the help of so many trolls, could actually be penetrated through the entire defense line silently?
Please note that Silver Moon City is 210 kilometers away from the Northland Fortress Pass in the southern part of Yongsong Forest. Even if McDonald's troops continue to advance these days, the straight-line distance is still 150 kilometers.
Orgrim could not have imagined that after McDonald's forcefully penetrated the orc position with a new batch of artillery, Serijek led two thousand cavalry to kill them in advance.
With a luxurious configuration of one person and three horses, and with the guidance of the Duchess Braumix, this cavalry even rushed to the rear of the main orcs before the orc messengers riding wargs, successfully causing chaos in the Blackstone Clan.
In order to break through Silvermoon City, most of the orc warriors in the main battle were at the front. Most of the orc warriors in the rear were orcs who were responsible for carrying stone bombs and operating catapults.
The orc peon, who didn't have much fighting will, panicked on the spot when he saw the green wave coming from behind.
More than two thousand heavy cavalry rushed in. The leading paladins held their war hammers high, and the golden holy light bloomed in the sun. Their existence itself was already an immortal battle flag.
The majestic knights were divided into three amidst the rumbling and roaring of the earth. From the sky, they seemed to form a trident rushing forward to stab the green orc rear team.
Cyan shadows shot into the green crowd one by one, like a giant cyan shark rushing into a school of fish to feast, easily tearing apart the bodies of the orc peons.
On the top of the city, the great mage Belovar, who was injured and went into battle, did not miss this opportunity. Led by him, 500 elf mages burst into flames and fired a whole cloud of fire.
In the blink of an eye, all the orcs in an area the size of five or six football fields were screaming and wailing in the flames, and the fire followed the wind and spread closer to the orcs' main formation.
On one side was the flame of the elf mage, on the other side was the assault of the human knight, and a pincer attack was formed in an instant.
"Warchief, Gul'dan said yesterday that he cast too many spells and was going to rest today!" Varok Saurfang reminded him.
Orgrim, who didn't understand the situation, yelled: "What time is it! Let him get here immediately!"
"yes!"
Behind the human knights are the elf commandos led by Braumux. Riding on chocobos, they obviously do not have assault capabilities. Their biggest weapon is the Molotov cocktail.
This simple and violent throwing weapon is so useful in any era.
The glass bottle filled with high-concentration alcohol swirled in the air for a few times before being smashed onto the orc's catapult. The ignited cloth strip at the mouth of the bottle easily ignited the splashing alcohol, and the wooden board was shattered within a few seconds.
The catapults were lit and turned into large bonfires.
On the top of the city, the elves' morale was greatly boosted, and they rained down various spells for free, killing all the orcs who had just come up.
Orgrim had to ask Varok to mobilize his elite and turned around to face this elite human cavalry.
To the surprise of the orcs and elves, the cavalry composed of humans and elves did not hesitate to fight. They just penetrated the orcs' rear formation, burned a large number of catapults, and then retreated in a small circle without saying a word.
"What's going on?" The Sun King and Orgrim asked the same question.
Today's battle ended in an anticlimax.
The scene originally imagined of the human army arriving and annihilating the main force of the orcs did not appear. The human cavalry seemed more like they came to cheer up and tell the elves that humans are here!
If they hadn't burned two or three hundred trebuchets, the Sun King would probably go crazy.
Sitting in Silver Moon City, you can use the well water extending from the Sun Well. The Elf Master has unlimited magic power.
There is no shortage of magic power, but shaping the elements requires the master's mental energy.
Once the mental power is insufficient, as the main body of spellcasting, the master himself will lose control in minutes, self-destruction, magic backlash, and various situations may occur.
It took a lot of effort for the mage group to exert its power, but who knew that the human beings were able to escape with just one shot?
When the human messenger griffin knight told Anastrian the answer, the Sun King was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
"My lord, the Duke of Stratholme, only led his army to repel the coalition of orcs and trolls. The main force is still nearby at this time, fighting with the troll army from Zul'Aman. Because he is worried about the fall of Silvermoon City, Seliya is hereby sent
Viscount Croton led the Third Knights of Stratholme to come to the rescue first."
Sounds okay, right?
The Sun King should shed tears of gratitude.
The problem is that the Elf Air Force has not been abolished. The Elf Dragonhawk Knight in charge of reconnaissance reported that the humans defeated the enemy in front of them and did not make a large-scale march. Instead, they took a detour to the west to defeat the trolls.
Those guys looked like they were careless and started a forest fire. Now the fire from west to east has burned the southeastern part of Yongge Forest bare.
Well, it was really an accident.
More than thirty human soldiers were eating cigars on the edge of the forest and made thirty fire heads. Can you believe it?
This news made Alleria very angry!
Burning the forest is an unforgivable sin for the ranger.
What's even more disgusting is that others may not be able to see it. How could Alleria, who had been in the Alliance, not know?
McDonald's guy is doing it again!
But even if they knew that McDonald was willing to work but not contribute any effort, no one could find fault with him.
At least he bought time for Silvermoon City.
That night, a piece of news that was not considered good news spread in Silvermoon City. The Silvermoon Council finally rummaged through the cabinets and found a large amount of armaments hidden in a secret vault. Preliminary calculations showed that there were at least 10,000 sets of refined weapons available.
