In the past few days, although the gryphon knights went to bomb the orc camps every day, the intimidation effect was more than the actual bombing effect, so the gryphon knights clung to the bombs and sparingly used them.
"So, we have not succeeded in preventing the orcs from establishing effective defensive positions, right?" Dailin asked.
"Indeed, at most it will only slow down the speed of the orcs building fortifications." Alleria said: "In three days, we will arrive at the quarry, and then you can take a closer look."
"The entrance to the quarry is a small valley. If the orcs build a city wall there, it will indeed be very troublesome." Dailin said, "But now they don't have so much time to build it."
"That was the area we focused on bombing, but unfortunately we were extremely short of aviation ammunition. In the end, the orcs succeeded in building wooden fences and gates out of logs."
Alleria pointed to a location on the map and said, "Here, this is their newly built defensive fence."
There are not many trees in the swamp, but the quarry is not a swamp. It is located at the foot of the Jueling Mountains and is surrounded by peaks. There is only a small opening on the side facing the swamp for entry and exit.
The quarry was once the most important source of iron ore in Proudmo a long time ago, but it was abandoned for a long time, and no one recorded how long it was.
I only know that there used to be a road at the entrance to the quarry that was connected to the main road, but then the quarry was abandoned and no one used that road anymore.
Now that road has been washed away by rain for many years and no one has done any maintenance or repairs. It has long been integrated with the swamp environment, and there is no trace of it. Over time, trees have grown in and around the quarry.
"The orcs are very good at finding places to camp. There are many wetlands. They can find not many good places." Dai Lin sighed.
"Yes!" Alleria also sighed: "This group of orcs are quite lucky. If you don't step up the attack while their defenses are not completed, and wait until they build complete defenses, I'm afraid you will have to
Only by bringing in the cannon can we attack."
"I have ordered to march as soon as possible. Now these troops are still light-armed troops, with heavy infantry and heavy cavalry behind them." Dai Lin was also a little helpless: "The terrain of the wetland is really too troublesome for the heavy-armed troops.
Now, the cannon will definitely not be able to be pulled in."
"We will be able to set foot on dry land after two more days of marching." Alleria smiled and said: "Order the troops in front to choose a location to build a camp after arriving on dry land, and then wait for the large army to rest for two days before marching."
"Why not kill the orcs in one go as soon as possible?" Dai Lin asked.
He really hated these orcs with all his heart. It was they who made him lose the once prosperous city of Menethil, and it was they who forced him to turn Menethil into ashes with his own hands.
"Admiral Daelin, I understand your hatred of the orcs, but we cannot let hatred go to our heads. You see, our soldiers are already very tired. If we don't take a break, we may not be able to go to the orc camp when we arrive.
Instead of destroying the orcs, send people over to be killed by the orcs.”
Alleria looked at Delin seriously and said, "I hope you can calm down and not make the wrong decision."
Dai Lin nodded helplessly, agreeing with Alleria's statement.
The troops walked for another two days, and when they arrived on the dry land the next day, the fine vanguard troops had already chosen a temporary resting place. After the combined troops arrived, they set up their own tents and waited for them to move in and repair.
Not only the elves were tired, but the human soldiers were actually even more tired. After setting up the tents, except for a small number of troops on duty, most of them went directly into the tents and slept happily.
The number of air strikes carried out by the Griffin Knights has obviously increased in the past two days. Their camp is not here, but by the road behind them. Because it is difficult to transport ammunition in the swamp, it is impossible to camp with the large army.
The swampy terrain limits the gryphon knights' ammunition logistics supply, and Sylvanas directs it there. In addition to the gryphon knights, there are 600 rangers guarding the camp, where you can get Menethil City-like soldiers.
The supplies and ammunition that the soldiers brought from the city on horse-drawn carriages would naturally be more comfortable there than here with the large army.
"Has your lord been bored lately, eating, sleeping, and waiting to die?" Sylvanas asked the bodyguard of the Feathered Blood Eagle who had just returned from Menethil with a smile.
"Lord City Lord? Oh! He seems to be learning Devil's language recently." The Griffin Knight guard replied in a daze.
"Learning devil language? When did he become so diligent? This is something new." Sylvanas asked in surprise.
"He said that he would study hard and make progress every day, and become a young man with all-round development of morality, intelligence, body and beauty, and contribute to the construction of the four modernizations in the future." The Griffin Knight guard of the Yulin Blood Eagle said with a strange expression.
"What? What did you just say?" Sylvanas almost didn't believe what she just heard, thinking she had heard wrong.
The Griffin Knight guard had no choice but to repeat it again, but he couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.
"Just him? A young man with good morals, intelligence, body and beauty? I heard you right!" Sylvanas was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped.
"That's what he said!" the Griffin Knight guard laughed.
Sylvanas frowned and said, "What the hell is the construction of the four modernizations?"
"I don't know!" The Griffin Knight guard shook his head and said, "Lord, he has no explanation."
"Who did he learn Devil's language from?... It can't be... it can't be that succubus!" Sylvanas asked.
"No! It's a death knight. The succubus is the one he uses to practice devil language." The Griffin Knight guard betrayed the Yulin Blood Eagle without any moral integrity.
"I knew he must have bad intentions when he wanted to bring that succubus alive. He is a pervert! A big pervert! Half-hearted..." Sylvanas uttered many special terms and curses in succession, which made the bodyguards of the Feather Forest Blood Eagle tremble.
Venus is more powerful than being hit by the Holy Knight's hammer of light.
"What else did he do?" Sylvanas said through gritted teeth.
"There's nothing more to do." The Griffin Knight guard said after thinking for a while.
"Really? I don't believe it! Then what did he say to the succubus?" Sylvanas asked again.
"I can't understand Devil's language, I can only understand one sentence." The Griffin Knight guard thought for a moment and said, "Well, yes! That's it: Give a beautiful woman a wink (Devil's language)."
"Don't you understand? How come you understand this sentence?" Sylvanas asked.
"Because Lord Lord said this sentence the most, and...and...so I learned it later!" said the Griffin Knight guard.
"He hesitated, and half-said something and then swallowed it. What's the matter with saying half-sentence?" Sylvanas said dissatisfied.
