After replenishing food and water supplies at the Kodo Cemetery, the group headed north. Due to the continuous attacks on the hunting team, the four centaur clans surrounding the Kodo Cemetery and the orcs from Thunder Ax Fortress all sent out
Without scouts and tracking teams, Prell's team had a very difficult journey back north.
Even with the Falcon Spire at high altitude for reconnaissance and Prell's map system, they still had to be cautious and cautious, going out at night and day, heading north cautiously and slowly.
Arriving at the entrance to the south canyon of the Coke Valley again, there were centaur patrols and garrison teams from the Kokar and Garak clans along the way, so Prell led his teammates to cross the mountains again and finally returned to the Coke Valley.
It can be said that the harvest of this trip to the Desolate Land was not great. The destruction caused by Prell and his teammates in the rear did not cause much damage to the Centaurs. Except for a brief shortage of food and grass on the front line, but then
As Tramp reconnected with the goblin caravan, the food supply was quickly restored.
This makes Prell a little depressed, but there is nothing that can be done about it. The night elves have not fully formed an alliance with the tauren, and they don't seem to care at all about anything happening on the mainland except for the Burning Legion and Naga.
Prell did not contact the night elves rashly. In fact, the tauren druids had communicated with the elves through the Cenarion Council, but the night elves only provided a batch of food, and that was it.
.
Even if the centaur clans in Desolate Land were at odds with each other, they still chose restraint and cooperation when facing the feuding tauren. As Prell saw with his own eyes, the Magram clan was nothing but a powerful force.
After seizing two carts of food from the Kokar clan, according to what Rexxar saw and heard during his travels, it was extremely rare that a small-scale battle did not break out between the two clans.
The most suitable land for living and grazing in the entire Desolate Land is occupied by centaurs or included as their sphere of influence. It is really difficult for the 11 members of the Prell team to make a big splash. Therefore, after discovering that due to
After successively killing centaur hunting teams and causing a backlash from various centaur clans, Prell chose to return to Charred Valley.
It was not only to avoid being chased by the centaurs, but also to allow his companions to have a good rest. Tamra understood this, and she believed that Prell had done his best.
Having been entangled with the centaur race for so long, the tauren have not tried to harass and destroy the rear. However, the tauren are too big and it is difficult to hide their whereabouts in the hilly grasslands of Desolation. Therefore, the tauren have tried and found that the effect is not good.
Later, he decisively gave up this tactic.
The Coke Valley looked even more desolate than when it passed by more than a month ago. The joint army of centaurs and orcs swept away most of the Coke Valley like locusts. Moreover, due to lack of food half a month ago, the centaurs even stopped fighting for several days. In this area
The scorched jungle was swept through again.
In the southeast of Coke Valley, there is a small forest in a small mountain basin among the mountains. Due to the remote location and the difficult mountain road, it miraculously has not been visited by the centaurs.
This place was originally a small settlement for the harpies of the Bloodrage Clan, but due to the centaur raids on the entire Scorch Valley more than a month ago, the harpies living here had to flee as a group and fled to the west of Scorch Valley.
go.
Tamra was far more familiar with Charred Valley than Rexxa, so she brought everyone here and used it as a temporary resting point.
Rexxar also sent the Falcon Spire to continue to conduct reconnaissance of the surrounding area. Prell was also very satisfied with this small forest, because as long as he climbed over several hills in a row, he could reach the mouth of the south canyon of Scorched Valley.
After the team rested for two days and gathered the intelligence brought back by Spire, Prell, Rexxar and others discussed the next battle plan together.
The battle took place in the canyon on the north side of the Scorch Valley. This long and narrow canyon is the most important and only smooth road from the Scorch Valley into the Stonetalon Mountains. Therefore, the tauren defended the entrance of the valley. Due to terrain restrictions, the centaurs and orcs could not pave the way.
Enough soldiers were sent to join the battle, so the centaurs started a round of battle.
Their base camp was located in the center of the Coke Valley a few miles south of the North Canyon. In order to maintain the safety of food transportation from the rear to the front line, the Centaurs spread out almost half of the Coke Valley and dispatched dozens of small teams to patrol and garrison.
Prell's plan was to attack these small groups of troops. He had even made up his mind to move back and forth between the Cinder Valley and the Desolate Land, destroying the Centaur forces as much as possible.
As long as it takes another month or so, the Desolate Land will usher in autumn, and the Centaur army will have to withdraw. As nomadic people, although the Centaur like to rob, they must prepare enough pasture before autumn.
Stock up for the snowless winter in Desolation.
After he discussed his plan in detail with his teammates, and after several days of patient waiting and observation, Prell finally found his first target.
This is a centaur patrol team with two teams of less than 20 people. Their mission is to be responsible for the safety of the south side of the food transportation road. Even though the Scorched Valley was previously razed to the ground by orc warlocks, there are still many creatures, such as
Chimeras and basilisks.
These two creatures can be said to be the most dangerous in the Coke Valley. Because the Coke Valley has been damaged, because the foraging range of these animals is not fixed, they often break into the Centaur's food transportation road, so the Centaur patrols
The team had to patrol and drive away every day.
The leading centaur captain is a man who looks extremely wild. Unlike other centaur warriors of the Kokar clan, he has long flowing hair. His right eye was blinded by a tauren shooter, so he wears a black eyepatch.
A leather-covered wooden shield hung on his chest, and he carried a short spear in his hand.
He carefully opened a path at the front. In this jungle, most of the trees had been carbonized and fell to the ground in random directions. So while he walked around a thick dead tree, he looked up at the sky and couldn't help but frown.
The air in the Charred Valley seems to be stagnant, exuding the smell of unfinished burning, and the air is gray. The "Burning Destroyer" fire element creatures wandering in the jungle will occasionally cause a small jungle fire, which makes half
The patrol team also acts as fire extinguishers.
There seemed to be a black spot flying high in the sky. The centaur captain smashed a burnt branch with a short spear, and then he noticed a few low saplings growing tenaciously near a puddle.
There is a small handful of green grass surrounding the puddle.
He shouted in harsh and unpleasant Centaur language: "It seems there is a tree man nearby! Catch him and chop him down!" Since entering the Charred Valley, the harpies of the Bloodfury clan who bullied the weak and feared the strong have been hiding everywhere.
The only people in Scorch Valley who dare to attack the centaur army are the tree people.
The tree people in the world of Azeroth are creatures transformed from trees and plants that embody the power of life among the six basic forces of the entire world. This is an extremely mysterious race, and they are closely related to the so-called "Friends of Nature".
The night elves have a good relationship.
But how the tree people were born is only known to the night elves in the entire world of Azeroth. This is a gentle and silent giant creature. They wander in the dense forest all year round, calling themselves "tree shepherds" and maintaining
The harmony of the forest.
But they are all treants, and the treant races in the entire world of Azeroth vary greatly in size. For example, the ancient tree of war, the ancient tree of knowledge, and the ancient tree of wind that live in harmony with the night elves are huge. There is also a kind of treant,
It is smaller in size and taller than the tauren.
There is also a kind of treant, which is a creation summoned by druids through natural magic. It comes in different sizes, and the small one is only a little taller than a kobold.
The centaurs soon discovered the traces of the tree man. It was a tree man that seemed to be transformed from an oak tree. He was gray and black, and the branches and leaves above his head were not lush. He walked slowly with roots.
Moving.
"Aha, shoot the rocket!" the centaur captain shouted. Limited by their slow movement speed, centaurs like this kind of creature the most. They rely on their own flexible movement and like to play with the tree people like monkeys.
His team members, more than 10 centaurs, opened their bows and arrows, and the arrows were tied with ignited cloth balls, aiming at the tree people surrounded in the middle.
The tree man was most afraid of fire, and he wanted to escape anxiously, but the centaurs surrounded him again and again, holding their bows open and not firing, to tease and intimidate the poor tree man.
The centaur captain burst out laughing: "Look at this poor guy's head. There aren't even a few leaves. It's really ugly!"
He deliberately did not give orders, just because he wanted to watch the tree man's clumsy movements. He found it extremely interesting, a rare pleasure in the boring patrol life.
The centaur captain nimbly rushed over, stabbed the tree man's branch-like arm with a short spear, and then jumped aside quickly before the angry tree man slapped him with his arm. He laughed loudly: "Look
Ah, how interesting…”
A feather arrow suddenly shot from the carbonized woods in the distance, and the centaur captain's laughter stopped abruptly. The feather arrow passed through his open mouth, and the tip of the arrow penetrated the back of his head with blood stains.
Before the centaurs could react to this sudden change, a huge flashing hammer hit a centaur shooter head-on. In a dazed state, his hand shook and he fired a burning rocket aimed at the tree man.
.
Then all the centaurs subconsciously fired the rockets in their hands. The tree man desperately used his branch-like arms to protect himself in front of him. Then a holy light fell from the sky and enveloped his whole body. He was unscathed.
A chubby figure suddenly rolled out. Before it could reach him, he threw it away and threw out a group of black shadows. As soon as the black shadow landed on the ground, a white light erupted from its body, and at least six centaurs were surrounded by ice rings.
Frozen in place.
On the other side, a flying ax flew past at high speed, directly cutting the upper body of a centaur into two pieces. Then with a roar, a giant bear fiercely jumped out.
This battle ended very quickly, and it took less than 10 minutes for all of the less than 20 centaurs to be killed. Needless to say, it was Prell who took action.
Holding the "Burning Blade" in his hand, he faced the tree man as if coaxing a child or a pet: "Quick, let's go!"
The tree man took a step back in fear. Prell smiled, took back the "Burning Blade", turned to Tamra and said: "Is this tree man an intelligent race or some kind of elemental creature? Look at us.
There seems to be no way to communicate with him!"
"Thank you... thank you!" A hoarse voice, as if dry wood had been rubbed in the throat, sounded from behind him. Prell was suddenly startled, and he turned his head. The other teammates also looked at him in surprise.
