Gresu, who was in panic all day long, did not wait for Capelan's support after all. Lugwitz, the goblin supervisor of the mud swamp, received Gresu's rescue letter. He immediately sent out an army of hired workers, but was stopped halfway.
.
It is not appropriate to say that it was a block, because this reinforcements from the swamp encountered an old opponent, the harpies from the Witchwing clan.
Since last year, employees of the venture capital company in the Silt Swamp have once again entered the eastern area of Wushuiling, and despite the strong opposition of the Wuyi clan, they have continued to cut down the small virgin forest.
The Witchwing clan tried to drive them away, but was repelled several times by well-armed logging teams. As a last resort, the Witchwing clan thought of joining forces with the tauren, but the battle at the Backwater Oasis proved the failure of the great alliance of the indigenous races, and
The tauren are busy building Thunder Bluff, so the Witchwing clan has not received any foreign aid for the time being.
This incident made Sylvia Bloodfeather quite critical of the tauren, but she could only complain verbally. In recent years, the Witchwing clan and the tauren in the Stonetalon Mountains have coexisted peacefully. Through certain trade, they can exchange
The food that the entire clan needs for a year is at least guaranteed to survive. Their expectations and requirements have never been high.
Of course, there is another thing that makes Prell extremely speechless and jealous. The energetic tauren boys often go to the Witchwing clan in groups and spend the night there in the name of transporting goods.
Harpies are welcome to come, and their taste in partners naturally favors elves and humans. But looking at the barren land, almost all humans are working for venture capital companies, green-skinned short goblins, grinning and bending over.
A hunchbacked gnoll, looking
There are five big, thick and silly ogres, stocky and short dwarves, and even the wild boar with a huge pig head, including the kobolds who have recently begun to open up to the outside world and come out of the dark mines. However, "appearance is everything".
Good news for harpies.
So although the tauren may not satisfy the harpies, they still have some strength. Anyway, the creators of the world of Azeroth did not seem to consider reproductive isolation when they "created" these intelligent creatures, and the genes of the harpies
The genetics are strong, and the child born from the union with the tauren will still be a small harpy. It will neither grow a pair of horns nor a tail that swings around, so let's just make do with it.
In other words, the tauren have conquered the Witchwing clan in terms of economy, trade and body. At least the harpies can no longer live without the tauren.
After learning that Gresu asked for help from the mud swamp, Prell immediately contacted Magatha and jointly sent a letter to Sylvia Bloodfeather, asking her to send soldiers to harass.
Sylvia Bloodfeather was overjoyed. She had been waiting for this day for a full year. Thinking that she originally had high hopes for the tauren, she didn't expect that it would be a kobold who finally made it happen. The harpy matron even gave it a little thought.
For a while, maybe you can sacrifice yourself to the kobolds.
But this thought only passed by for a moment, and she never thought about it again. Sylvia Xueyu decided to at least treat the little green-feathered girl Lestalen better in the future.
The harpies' combat power is weak, so it is naturally impossible to completely block the reinforcements from the swamp. However, the harpies have carried forward the guerrilla tactics taught by Prell. They are divided into several groups, some of which contain the logging team in the east of Waterless Ridge, and some of which attack the swamp.
Wandering in the swamp and on the road to Ashenvale, harassing them from time to time, and immediately retreating when they see the goblins gathering their troops to counterattack.
After all, the harpies had the advantage of being able to fly, and their maneuverability was not much worse than that of centaurs. Therefore, the miserable reinforcements gathered from the mud swamp and arrived at the entrance of Ashen Valley, which took six days, which was much longer than usual.
Normal traffic wasted nearly three days.
Naturally, this kind of harassment is unlikely to achieve much results, but the swamp still lost more than ten soldiers, and more than thirty others suffered some injuries.
In the past few days as reinforcements arrived, Prell escorted the surrendered Capellan and his men back to the Black Wolf Lake camp. After discussing with Rexxar, Magatha and other senior officials, he decided to change his strategy.
Prell's original plan was to use Cliff Lake as a training ground. He did not expect to upgrade all the kobold soldiers. At least those recruits could fire a shot on the battlefield and experience the so-called war. At least they would not be like before.
The first night raid was extremely unprofessional.
But he did not expect that Gresu was a successful businessman, but not a qualified military commander. Just one night attack completely scared Gresu out of his courage, and he kept asking for help from outside.
Then, the best way to deal with it next is to "encircle the point and call for reinforcements". As long as the Cliff Lake camp is surrounded and the south entrance of Stonetalon Trail is seized, Gresu will be the turtle in the urn.
Due to his vague memory of the history of World of Warcraft, Prell did not know that at this time, a major event happened in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, a powerful human country at the northern end of the Eastern Kingdoms continent: the leader of the Cult of the Curse and the former human archmage of Dalaran, Ke
Erthuzad has begun to spread the plague throughout the kingdom through food.
Moreover, the plague spread southward from the Kingdom of Lordaeron. The mountain kingdom of Alterac, which betrayed the Alliance during the Second Orc Invasion War, has been incorporated into the Kingdom of Lordaeron and has also been eroded by the plague.
The Kingdom of Gilneas was also facing the threat of the plague, so the two northern kingdoms of Lordaeron and Gilneas had no choice but to seek help from the magical city-state of Dalaran, the Ironforge Kingdom of the Bronzebeard dwarves, and the human Kingdom of Stormwind.
The outbreak of the plague allowed the goblins to see business opportunities. Countless merchant ships sailed from south to north. Venture capital companies also sent a large number of ships to transport large quantities of food to the north.
As a result, the number of merchant ships from the Eastern Kingdom continent to the Kalimdor continent decreased a lot, which caused the employees of the venture capital companies who were supposed to be transported to the Kalimdor continent to be temporarily stranded in the Eastern Kingdom continent.
This also means that in a short period of time, the venture capital company will have a limited number of employees on the continent of Kalimdor, and it will not receive more external support for the time being.
Naturally, Prell didn't know the chain-link impact that the outbreak of the undead natural disaster would have on the entire world. He was still busy, reorganizing the army, mixing the new recruits with the upgraded veterans, making sufficient preparations, and then
Heading towards the cliff lake again.
This time, Prell took away almost all the soldiers that could be brought out of the Gale Valley. Magatha was still left behind at the Black Wolf Lake. At the same time, he once again recruited some kobolds from the Gale Mine to become soldiers, and went to Rolling Rock Canyon.
Letter, requesting Pandaren Lao Chen to dispatch four thousand kobolds to the Gale Wind Mine as a supplement.
Capelan and his men were temporarily placed under house arrest. In the camp area where they were held, the Black Iron dwarves who were previously guarded have been released and officially joined the smelting, blacksmithing, and forging work at the Black Wolf Lake camp.
Go in.
All the tauren soldiers stayed behind, and at the same time, Magatha transferred 400 tauren from the Apalaye camp, so for a while, the spider web path convoy was very lively.
Rexxar led 800 soldiers of all ethnic groups and appeared openly and openly in the southeast of Cliff Lake. They set up camp on the spot and began to build fortifications.
Gresu was very nervous, but Gerner Fadlan had been working diligently. In fact, during the days when Preel retreated, he had been leading his men to renovate the walls and set up various defensive facilities.
They also built dozens of small boats, planning to escape from the cliff lake behind the camp toward the Stoneclaw Trail if the battle went south.
When he learned that Rexxar was coming again, Gernar Fadlan didn't know his opponent's plan, so he rushed to continue repairing the fortifications. Naturally, Rexxar would not take the initiative to attack. As long as the reinforcements were repelled, Cliff Lake Camp
There was nothing to rely on, so he continued to follow Prell's request and began to dig trenches between the garrison camp and Cliff Lake Camp, completely surrounding Cliff Lake Camp to the east and south.
For Prell, war has always been about information gaps. Gonzalo and other tauren raptor druids have been conducting continuous reconnaissance on the movements of the swamp, so he led more than a thousand soldiers,
Passed directly through the Stone Claw Trail and entered Ashenvale for the first time.
The northern exit of the Stonetalon Trail is not far from Lake Mystra, about a day or two away. Prell did not intend to disturb the Night Elf Silver Wing Sentinels stationed there, so he ambush the army west of the lake.
In the primeval forest on the side.
There used to be a lot of spiders and grizzly bears in the forest here, but Capellan and his men bribed the commander of the Silver Wing Sentinels and obtained a certain hunting license. They had already cleared away the living creatures here, so there weren't many in the forest.
dangers from the outside.
Prell looked at a towering tree next to him. The gray valley was full of such tall ancient trees that had grown for unknown ages. The big branches were thick and straight up to the sky. The dense branches and leaves almost blocked the sky.
How much sunlight shines down.
Prell curled his lips. He didn't know why the night elves liked such a dark forest environment, but the accompanying kobold soldiers adapted quickly. Those harpy spellcasters already lived in the jungle, and when they came here
Before arriving on the continent of Kalimdor, Elwynn Forest, where the Riverpaw gnolls had lived for generations, was also a forest.
Among the soldiers of many races he brought, even the ogres from alien planets showed strong adaptability. Those ogres did not dislike the forest that blocked the sun at all, but instead gathered together
Together, they were teasing a startled little green snake with a smile.
Prell coughed, but Kauduk obviously hadn't reacted yet. He grabbed the little snake, which was unknown as to whether it was venomous, and pulled hard to break the snake's body. He raised his head and took a sip of the snake's blood.
Then he threw the broken snake body into his mouth and chewed it.
"Awesome!" Prell silently praised Kauduk in his heart, and then walked over: "This is a war, what is the first point of an ambush?"
Kauduk thought for a while, but did not bother to wipe the snake blood from his mouth and said, "Is it because it is hidden and cannot make any noise?"
Prell looked at him. The two-headed ogre mage suddenly understood. One of the heads said to the other head: "Ah ha, we know, we can't talk! Hey, give me the rest of the snake meat."
eat!"
Prell sighed. He finally understood why it was difficult for ogres to become popular in Azeroth. This is a race that has no idea what discipline is and can always find enough people in places that look extremely childish.
