As the ambush in the Ashen Valley stopped, Prell led his soldiers and hurriedly left the forest that made him heartbroken.
Ordanus also left, and he got the assurance he wanted from Preel. Although the night elves could actually express some kindness to Preel through the tauren druids, considering Preel's
In the end, Odanus took the trip himself.
Some soldiers were sent back to Black Wolf Lake, and their mission was to transport some of the captured bodies and the bodies of their comrades back for burial. Prell led the remaining soldiers to meet Rexxar at Cliff Lake.
Lexa has been doing a good job outside the Cliff Lake camp these days. There are already two winding trenches extending from the south side to the east side of the camp. In other words, half of the Cliff Lake is now surrounded.
.
After Prell came back with his troops, he did not launch any attack. Instead, he stationed his camp southwest of Cliff Lake and sent soldiers to continue digging trenches.
Knowing that the enemy outside had more reinforcements and that their intention was so obvious to trap them in the camp, Gerner Fadlan once again had a quarrel with Gresu over differences.
After Rexxar's troops surrounded the southeast of Cliff Lake, Gresu counted the time and felt that the reinforcements from the mud swamp should be on the way. However, the two contact teams he sent completely disappeared, which made him even more panicked.
So Gresu proposed to retreat towards the water wheel in the mountains behind Cliff Lake. After all, it was close to the Stone Claw Trail. However, Gerner Fadlan did not agree with his proposal because the mountains in the direction of the waterfall were narrow and it was impossible to accommodate the camp.
Of all the employees and guards, Gresu's proposal would inevitably involve abandoning some of them, and he was unwilling to do so.
In the end, Gerner Fadlan "persuaded" Gresu. Of course, the bigger reason is that more people in the camp, including humans and goblins, are on Gerner Fadlan's side. People with a discerning eye
It was obvious that Gresu was about to lose his mind.
When Prell's army arrived, the jackals in the Cliff Lake camp defected en masse and chose to surrender to Prell. However, Gerner Fadlan only sent people to chase after him for a while and found that there were soldiers on the opposite side to meet him.
He immediately withdrew.
He analyzed to Gresu that now that the army from the southwest of Cliff Lake has just arrived and has not yet gained a firm foothold, they should take the initiative to launch a counterattack. If they are lucky, they may be able to repel the enemy and gain more breathing space for themselves.
, and buy a little more time for the arrival of reinforcements.
Gresu naturally did not support it. He wanted to escape even more, and felt that taking the initiative to move closer to the Stone Claw Trail was the best choice.
One insisted on defending, the other insisted on escaping. The two sides disagreed, so a fierce quarrel broke out. In the end, Gerner Fadlan gained the upper hand because there were obviously more people supporting him.
Unfortunately, there is a tauren raptor druid here in Prell. A raptor druid who transformed into a falcon noticed the strange movement in the cliff lake camp, so he immediately reported it and was discussing with Hayaheim how to resettle it.
Prell of those jackals who defected during the battle.
Just when Gerner Fadelan called for the death squads and prepared to leave the camp to seek a fighting chance, Prell sent a team of jackals, led by several ogres, to appear in the camp arrogantly.
Outside the south gate.
After getting the news, Gerner Fadlan's face suddenly became extremely ugly, because he saw that the leading ogres were holding several tattered flags, which represented the mud.
Swamp is the banner of venture capital companies.
Dozens of jackals, on the other hand, used wooden sticks to carry the clothing, helmets and weapons of the armed guards unique to the venture capital company, laughing happily.
Gerner Fadlan's face turned pale, thinking that the contact teams sent by Gresu several times had lost contact, and Prell's army was divided into two and came in batches. Then it is very possible that Gresu
The reinforcements Su had been waiting for had been wiped out by the kobolds!
Gresu also hurried over. He was physically and mentally haggard these days. He stood on a stool and leaned over the wall and took a look. He suddenly felt that the world was spinning and he fell down.
When Youyou woke up, Gresu shouted in horror: "We are finished! Our reinforcements have been killed by the kobolds! We are going to be trapped and die in this damn valley!"
He turned his head randomly and saw Gernar Fadlan standing outside the crowd, shouting crazily: "We must escape quickly! Otherwise we will all be killed by the kobolds and become their delicious meal!"
Gernar Fadlan shook his head in disappointment. He had come into contact with some kobolds and also learned about the situation of kobolds from other human guards. Maybe he was racist towards kobolds, but he spread rumors that kobolds eat other intelligences.
He really can't stand listening to the racial abuse!
"No, sir, we should calm down! To escape at this time is to abandon all our efforts these days. We have built strong defenses, we have enough food, and we have enough manpower. Trust me
, we can still hold on until the second batch of reinforcements arrives! "
"You damn human being! Are you going to let us be buried together? There are no reinforcements, there will be no reinforcements, we are alone now! We must escape, ah no, we must retreat!"
Gernar Fadlan still shook his head, and Gresu's face became ferocious: "I am the supervisor of the Gale Valley, and I am your boss! If you are unwilling to accept my order, then Gernar Fadlan will
Delan, I now relieve you from the post of captain of the guard!"
His eyes rolled around and he looked at Gerner Fadlan's adjutant: "Diesel, you take over Gerner Fadlan's position..." Before he could finish his words, Diesel shook his head.
:"Sorry sir, I think you have lost your mind now. You need to rest instead of meddling in all specific affairs. As for your personnel appointment, I personally think you should think about it again. Gerner Fadlan is still
Our recognized captain!"
Four or five humans and goblins also stood up: "We also agree with Gernar Fadelan!" Gresu was furious: "Are you going to rebel?"
A goblin couldn't stand it anymore and waved his hand: "Mr. Gresu just fell and injured his head. He needs to take a rest. Quick, carry Mr. back to the room!"
The two human guards lifted Gresu unceremoniously and were about to carry him back to the room and place him under house arrest. Gerner Fadlan reached out to stop them. His usually strong chest became rickety for the first time.
He took off his badge, which represented the power and responsibility of his guard captain, placed it in front of Gresu, then smiled contemptuously, turned and left.
Diesel looked angry, spat unabashedly, turned around and walked away. The humans surrounding Gresu left one by one. Even Gresu's former cronies, the goblins,
He also chose to leave, leaving only a young goblin standing there shivering.
He really wanted to leave, but he had no choice. He was Gresu's nephew, his secretary, and was trained by Gresu as his successor.
Gresu's eyes became crazy: "These damn, untrustworthy humans, they are just like those damn kobolds, I curse them!"
In the distance, Diesel and other companions stopped Gerner Fadlan: "Captain, Gresu has been frightened. We will stand firmly behind you and follow your footsteps!"
Gerner Fadelan, who was originally very disappointed and even a little depressed, suddenly laughed: "Thank you for your trust in me! Although I am only a branch of the Fadelan family, I will never disgrace the honor of Fadelan.
surname! I still insist on my opinion. I want to launch an attack on the kobolds. Are you willing to follow me? "
Diesel raised his arms: "It's my pleasure, Captain Gernar!" Other humans and goblins also raised their arms.
Soon, more than a hundred human and goblin hired hands inspired by Gernar Fadlan took up arms. The fence outside the south gate of the Cliff Lake camp opened, and the soldiers filed out and passed through the wall door.
Arriving outside the camp.
According to the unwritten battlefield regulations of mankind, Prell should have sent an equal number of soldiers to fight at this time. But Prell ignored the provocation of Gernar Fadlan and his soldiers and just ordered each squad to fight.
Stand firm and refuse to fight.
The battle at Lake Mystra made Prell realize that the kobolds lacked war experience after all, and the jackals might be able to fight alone, but when faced with a confrontation between two armies, they performed no better than the kobold recruits.
Under the current situation, it is almost impossible for Cliff Lake to wait for the reinforcements to arrive, because according to the agreement, the Witchwing Clan and the Razor Ridge Wild Boars should have already begun to attack and harass the Silt Swamp. The direction of the Silt Swamp has too much to take care of. He only needs to continue to be trapped.
Cliff Lake, you can definitely capture this camp at the minimum cost.
Gernar Fadlan sent a group of soldiers to constantly provoke in front of the battle, and also sent a knight to ask for a challenge, but what greeted them was only the volleys of kobold musketeers.
The helpless Gerner Fadlan had no choice but to lead the dispersed death squads and slowly approach, but Prell always commanded his men to maintain a certain distance with these courageous loggers and escorts.
distance.
Humans and goblin soldiers continued to fall to the ground under the volleys of kobolds' guns. Although the counterattack of Gerner Fadlan's soldiers also caused some damage to the kobolds, Prell and Belga worked together to treat them everywhere.
Even if the wounded were not killed in one blow, Prell could always use the Holy Light to save them.
In this way, Gernar Fadlan continued to advance with his men, while the kobold musketeers continued to give in, even giving way to the first trench that had not yet been dug.
But Gernar Fadlan did not dare to move forward because he noticed that in the southeast, Rexxar's men remained motionless. If they continued to advance, they would easily be surrounded by Rexxar's troops from behind.
Gernar Fadelan kept insulting him. He felt that Preel had simply insulted the honor of being a warrior. Rexxar also came to persuade him, hoping that Preel would send him to lead the fight. He blindly avoided it, and indeed stood firm with him.
Warrior's Glory does not qualify.
Prell shook his head: "I will not mess with the lives of our soldiers. We have strength advantages, psychological advantages, and terrain advantages. The opposite side is just a group of wild wolves who were forced into a corner. Why should we fight
Are they going to be tough frontally?"
Rexxar shrugged. Prell is the chief and the supreme commander of this army. He can achieve great results at a small cost, which is what every commander is willing to do, so he did not continue to talk about so-called warriors.
Glory.
Gernar Fadlan finally retreated to the camp helplessly. He really wanted to lead his brothers in a fight to the death, but Prell did not give him any chance at all.
Returning to the camp, Gernar Fadlan was greeted by Gresu's ruthless ridicule. This goblin actually secretly colluded with some of the remaining logging team foremen, especially the human foreman Rigel Gresu, who assured him that as long as
By protecting himself from Cliff Lake, he will absolve Rigel of all charges and he will bear all the responsibility.
So under the huge pressure from the outside world, the Cliff Lake camp was officially torn into two factions.
