David looked at the holographic photo in his hand carefully. From the photo, it can be seen that the village built by the elves was perfectly hidden by the trees. This is one of the reasons why it is difficult to find it in the air and from a distance.
"Is it very close to Winter City?"
"It's actually not that close."
The distance from the Iron River flowing out of the Iron Tree Forest to the north to join the Winter River is not short, and the village is relatively southwest, not within the previous warning range of Winter City at all.
If Winter City had not built several bridges and developed the city's facilities to the west, Winter City's air force would not have flown so far away for reconnaissance - even if the reconnaissance was focused on the closer plains,
It is difficult to find an elven village perfectly protected by the forest.
"Are these also the elves in the Iron Tree Forest?"
"This..."
Gareth couldn't give an answer. He didn't know what was going on with the elves in the Iron Tree Forest. After all, he was not from Iron Tree Fort.
In addition, Winter City's previous strategic focus has always been on the orcs and the temple, and it didn't really pay much attention to the elves.
Just as Gareth was thinking about how to answer this question, David had already seen some clues from those photos.
"These elves may not be the same force as the elves currently fighting in Iron Tree Fort." David saw doubts on the faces of the elves in the photo, as if they were looking at some unknown object.
The elves fighting against the Iron Tree Fort have seen airplanes many times. They know that this giant metal bird is a human weapon and will not react like this when they see an airplane.
"Speaking of which, the Iron Tree Forest is really vast."
The Iron Tree Forest borders the Tilan Mountains to the east and the Lost Land to the west. No one can tell how many elves there are in the huge primeval forest.
The humans in Iron Tree Fort thought that there were not many elves, and David originally thought so too.
It seems that humans have only come into contact with some of them, and there are many more elves living a life of peace and harmony in the depths of the Iron Tree Forest.
"Call Liadrin and Sylvanas over." David thought for a while and decided to let Liadrin, the Holy Light Bishop, have some contact with these elves. Even if he could not find out the detailed information about the elves, he could
It’s okay to ask for some superficial information.
Choosing these two people, one of whom is an elf, may make this group of elves less wary.
Moreover, the strength of these two people is guaranteed. If an emergency occurs, there is no need to worry about the safety of these two people. They will definitely have the strength to hold on until support arrives - or they may directly kill the opponent.
When it's time to take action, these two will never be vague, nor will they hold back just because they are facing elves.
After all, in the eyes of these two people, they are high elves from Azeroth! They are not the same race as the indigenous elves in this world.
The two elves arrived at David's office quickly. After briefly explaining the situation to them, they understood why David called them here.
"I can go at any time."
"I need to go back to church to arrange some things."
As a ranger general, Sylvanas has always been vigorous and resolute. Even though she still has the job of training the Tyran Knights, the training plan has already been arranged, and it will not affect anything if she goes out for a few days.
Liadrin needs to hand over the work at hand to other priests before she can leave, but it doesn't take much time.
"Gareth will have a small team of Winter Knights and two Priests on standby in the Quinjet."
The Quinjet will place the two elves near the elf village and then wait there. The work of contacting the elves will be completely left to the two in front of them.
The two elves who took the order left, and David and Gareth discussed how to establish a defensive post in this direction.
With the expansion of Winter City, the garrison problem has become more and more complex.
As if he felt that David had been having too easy a time recently and must cause him some trouble, Gareth had just left to prepare a new defense plan when new news was sent to David. p>
"The orcs are back?"
"Yes."
"And all the orcs this time are green?" David looked at the orc soldiers in the photo (which was stored in a micro device and played holographic images). There were obvious changes from the orc army that he had repelled. p>
The orcs in the photo are taller, stronger, and have ferocious muscles. Some of the orcs even have terrifying bone spikes on their bodies.
What's even more outrageous is that the ships these orcs are riding on are ferocious orc-style iron-clad battleships driven by some unknown power (most likely evil energy), and have several turrets on them. p>
Good guy, when they were beaten away last year, they were still a backward race using trebuchets, but in the blink of an eye they switched to battleship cannons? This is not called cheating, is this fucking cheating?
Even if these orcs were given relevant knowledge through cheating by the gods, where did these orcs obtain the resources? How did they make battleship cannons from scratch with their bare hands?
David had the urge to throw the imaging equipment to the ground: Can these gods not afford it? Are they starting to be shameless?
"The good news is that not many orcs appeared this time."
Compared to David, Van Cleef seemed very calm, and even left enough time for the Duke to complain a few times before continuing to report the intelligence information in hand.
"Furthermore, after these orcs landed on the eastern coast, they did not immediately rush towards Snowfield Castle. Instead, they penetrated into the hilly and mountainous areas in the northeast."
"That area..." David immediately understood what these orcs were going to do: "Are they rescuing their compatriots?"
"I'm afraid not, my lord."
At Van Cleef's reminder, David retrieved the last part of the photos, which showed countless brown and yellow-skinned orcs being shackled and walking towards the coast under the escort of green-skinned orcs.

"More like arrest."
After looking at these photos, David leaned on his office chair and frowned and thought for a few seconds: "Have you found out the whereabouts of these orcs?"
"Based on the current situation, the orcs transported all these prisoners to the south."
"South?"
"Yes, we went south along the coast. Before the investigators withdrew, we saw no intention of turning."
David suddenly understood why there was no movement in the Sodurumma Empire after instigating several lords of the Kingdom of Tilan. There was something wrong in their own back garden!
So, the orcs built these warships with resources collected from the Sodurummar Empire?
As for where the knowledge comes from, David is no longer confused. Based on the information he currently has, he can infer that the emergence of the orcs is a new round of purges on the Brunnia continent.
Every time there is a cleansing, the new races that appear are the chosen ones, and under the blessing of the gods, they can do anything.
I just don’t know if the god behind the orcs will come up with something even more outrageous and give it to the orcs after discovering that even so, he still cannot destroy Winter City?
Are these aloof gods worried about being counterattacked by chess pieces?
It's a very interesting question. David really wants to know the answer, but it's difficult to see clear results in a short time. It's better to deal with the problem at hand now!
"The Knights of Winter can't stay at home all the time. When appropriate, they should go out and gain some practical experience."
David's meaning is very clear. The northern plains are his own territory. These orcs docked their warships in the territory of his Duke of Winter without permission, which is already an act of war.
Winter City must fight back to let the orcs understand who is the real ruler of the northern plains.
In addition, we can also test the strength of this group of orcs who have mutated again?
This is also an important reason why he sent the strongest Winter Knights at present instead of several other troops.
The order was issued, and the Winter Knights quickly took action.
Dress up, assemble, and set off!
After a long period of training, the Winter Knights lived up to their title as the Ace Legion. Everything performed perfectly, and they completed the transition from chaos to order in the shortest time.
When several Quinjet mass-produced Decepticons took off and flew away, others in the military camp realized what had happened.
"All members of the Knights of Winter are dispatched? Is this something big?"
"You left a team before. Did you get into trouble?"
"Different directions."
"I wonder who my opponent is? It can be seen that the Duke attaches great importance to this enemy."
"What a pity. This battle should have nothing to do with our Tiran Knights."
"You Tilan Knights haven't even finished equipping their weapons and equipment, so what's the point of regret?"
"Didn't the Spartan Heavy Infantry receive the order?"
"Maybe it's because the enemy is too far away?"
Various discussions in the military camp quickly subsided, and all the soldiers in the Winter Military Camp were summoned and went to their respective combat conference rooms to watch the battle between the Winter Knights and the orcs.
Even David and important officials in Winter City were sitting in the conference room watching the live broadcast of this battle.
As eight mass-produced Quinjet Decepticons crossed the entire northern plain and arrived at the eastern coast. Through the cameras carried on the Quinjet Decepticons, everyone clearly saw the orcs and battleships below.
"These orcs have become uglier."
"Aren't these green-skinned orcs the same group as the other orcs?"
"I don't know, maybe it's an orc from another tribe?"
The soldiers focused on various things, and in the conference room of Fort Glamorgan, Tony, Howard and others were carefully observing the Orc warships.
"Looks rough."
"Should there be no need to worry too much?"
Just as a few people were saying this, the orcs also discovered the Quinjet fighter in the air and launched an attack first.
Green energy rays were continuously fired into the air from the orc warships. The black and thick main cannon slowly raised after adjusting its direction, firing more terrifying energy shells.
"..."
Seeing this scene, the originally lively conference room gradually became quiet.
