However, there is always a road ahead. Today at noon, the leader of the orcs received a report from his subordinates that made him happy.
A small team of orcs found a path behind the quarry. They followed the path up the mountain and discovered that it was actually a small highland plain in the mountains of the Jueling Mountains.
This small plain is a long and narrow valley, surrounded by mountain peaks, and to the south is a cliff-like staircase with the quarry, with a drop of at least more than a hundred meters.
At present, the small team has only found out that there is only a winding and steep path leading up to it. The orc generals all believe that the defenses of the quarry currently under construction should be abandoned and moved to the small plain on the top of the mountain behind.
In this way, only a small number of troops can be used to defend the rugged mountain road. At the same time, archers are deployed on the peaks around the valley to prevent the elves' flying troops. In this way, a large group of orc soldiers can safely rest in the valley.
Already.
The orc leader agreed with his subordinates, but he believed that the construction of the fortifications in the quarry could not be stopped now, but should be continued to confuse the elf flying troops. Until night, under the cover of darkness, the large troops quietly moved into the highlands and small plains.
.
After the large forces entered the highlands and small plains, all the troops who had built the quarry defenses immediately abandoned their positions in the quarry and entered the trail, quickly climbing to the top of the mountain and onto the small plain.
The opinions of the orc leader were recognized by his subordinates and implemented by the orcs.
Since the order was issued, when the orc soldiers saw the elven flying troops that they had been bored with the previous few times, they no longer felt that boredom, but instead had a lot more elements of teasing.
The elf troops in the sky seemed to be very cooperative and would reward them with an egg from time to time. Although the bombs were not very accurate because they flew too high, one or two unlucky people would suffer from it from time to time.
The luck of these unlucky guys can really be said to be extremely unlucky, because most of the unlucky guys were accidentally injured. The elf flying troops often clearly aimed at A to drop bombs, but because the flying height was too high, the bombs often hit the ground when they landed.
bThis unlucky guy.
Some unlucky people just wanted to go out and tease them, but before they could make any moves, they were accidentally injured by bombs that were not intended to be aimed at.
The orcish behavior of running out of my body to tease the Elf Flying Troops is a good explanation of what it means to be so idle, and the unlucky ones who were accidentally injured also brilliantly explained what it means to be shot while lying down.
Of course, the probability of being shot is actually not very high. Therefore, the orcs did not suffer many casualties, and the results of the Elf Griffin Knights were really not very impressive. For both sides, at this moment, it was actually
It's almost like a game.
The ground troops led by Alleria and Daelin rested on dry land for two days. After the human heavy cavalry and heavy infantry arrived from the city of Menethil, all the troops set off again.
The elven expeditionary legions are all equipped with chocobo mounts, while the human soldiers are only equipped with horse mounts, including paladins and heavy cavalry. However, their share in the entire human army is very small. There are a large number of human light and heavy infantry.
There are no mounts, so the marching speed is seriously affected.
There was dry land all the way from the allied temporary rest camp to the quarry occupied by the orcs. When we marched together in the swamp, the difference between the elven army and the human army was not noticeable, but
After arriving on dry land, the differences between the two armies immediately became apparent.
The elf troops with mounts always have to stop and camp for a short rest every day after marching a short distance to wait for the human army. Since there is enough rest time, both the elves and the mounted land troops of the elf expeditionary army are always in high spirits and full of energy.
In contrast, most human armies marching on foot always seem a little tired.
The Elven Expeditionary Legion was not in a hurry, and neither was Alleria herself. This almost outing-like marching speed made all the soldiers of the Elven Expeditionary Legion feel very relaxed.
However, the elves were not in a hurry, but Dai Lin, the commander-in-chief of the human army, and his generals were.
Because according to the information from the elven griffon knights, although the orcs in the quarry were building fortifications as usual, the griffin knights who had been bombing and harassing in the past few days discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, mining
There are fewer and fewer orcs in the field, and a large number of beasts seem to have suddenly disappeared without a trace. Currently, the gryphon knights are also expanding the search area.
Alleria already guessed what was going on, but she wouldn't say it.
Of course, Daelin didn't know what was going on, but he was the king of the Kingdom of Proudmoore, and the wetland was his territory. He was relatively clear about the geographical conditions of his one-third-acre land.
Dai Lin quickly opened the map of the excavation area, and a group of human officers gathered around to look at it for a while.
"There is a long and narrow valley behind the quarry. Have you gone there to investigate?" Dai Linlin asked the elf griffin knight who had sent the information.
"It's impossible to scout there! It's been filled with thick fog in the past few days. Unless you land down, you won't be able to see much," the Griffin Knight said.
"Dense fog? Is it morning?" Dai Lin asked.
"All day long!" said the Elf Gryphon Knight.
"If there is not so much thick fog there usually, then these thick fogs should be the fog of war cast by the remaining orc shamans. And there is a valley there, so the magic power required by the shaman to maintain the thick fog magic does not require much. Unlike
It requires a large area like outside the city of Menethil." Alleria said: "The peaks on all sides of the valley can also block the wind, so the thick fog of war is not easy to dissipate."
"Your speculation is very reasonable!" Dai Lin nodded and said: "Can you please order the Elf Griffin Knight to go there to investigate. I know it is very dangerous."
Alleria looked at the gryphon knight.
The gryphon knight nodded slightly and said: "We tried our best to go over and conduct reconnaissance, but the fog is too thick. At most, we can only confirm whether there are orcs inside. As for the rest, we are powerless. Because we only have two hundred
It is impossible to understand everything clearly in the foggy valley."
"In that case, thank you very much!" Dai Lin thanked the Griffin Knight.
The griffin knight nodded and left.
"Go for reconnaissance? Are you mentally ill!" Sylvanas said after hearing what the gryphon reported back: "No! There is no need for us to take risks there. You go back and tell them that the orcs are up there, just say
