"There are about sixty to seventy death knights, but..." Sylvanas glanced at Daelin and said: "They found many humanoid skeletons in the quarry and resurrected them into undead warriors.
"
"Why are there so many skeletons in the quarry?" Alleria frowned.
Sylvanas shrugged her shoulders and shook her head to express her ignorance: "Maybe Admiral Daelin knows," she said.
Alleria looked at Daelin and waited for him to explain.
At this time, Dailin finally remembered the bloodshed before the quarry was abandoned. He also understood why the orcs were marching northwest instead of southwest. He thought it must be the large number of bones buried deep in the ground that attracted the death knights.
He sighed, secretly blaming himself for not thinking of this: "Before the quarry was abandoned, the people who worked here were prisoners of war and prisoners, so... you know... the conditions given to them were definitely not too good.
Okay." Dailin said hesitantly.
Of course, he himself also knew that the so-called prisoners of war were actually troll prisoners captured in large numbers within the wetlands. There were actually very few real human prisoners, because most of these people were sent to the battlefield as death squads.
This also led to the near-extinction of the troll race in the wetlands, but no one would have thought that these long-dead trolls would bring them trouble again.
Alleria and Sylvanas understand.
The so-called not-so-good thing is to put it mildly, but I don’t know how cruel the real situation would be. After these prisoners of war who were held here died, they would be thrown into a big pit and buried together like a rag.
Over time, I don’t know how many people have been buried here. Otherwise, the death knight would not be able to feel it from so far away.
If the orcs did not attack the city first, but instead went to the quarry to resurrect all the ribs into undead before attacking the city, then it is hard to say whose hands the city of Menethil would be now.
Because if the orcs delay attacking the city of Menethil and allow the death knights and undead to wreak havoc in the city, then even if Daelin sets fire, it will only burn the death knight and his undead minions, and the city
The large orc army outside will be intact.
It's a pity that the orcs were too confident, and a fire immediately reversed the situation on the battlefield. Even if the remaining orc troops escaped into the quarry, they had no chance to stand up again. Firstly, time was too tight, and secondly, death
There are too few knights, so the undead minions he can resurrect are still not enough to fight against the allies of the elf Daelin.
Fortunately for the Allies, these undead skeletons may have been buried underground for too long, and the quality of their bones is not very good, and they have no armor or weapons. If they are all like the death warriors in Menethil,
, then it will be a big trouble.
"We found that the undead resurrected from the skeletons are very fragile and stupid. Even if there are more of them, it will be useless." Sylvanas said with an indifferent smile.
"If you are ready, send me a signal. When the second batch of flying troops comes, we will do a carpet bombing first, and then you can attack." After that, she went to mount the gryphon again.
"Do you want to go there?" Aurelia asked.
"Yes! Look, they are all flying back. The second wave of attacks is coming soon. I have to explain to them first." Sylvanas smiled and encouraged the gryphon to take off.
It didn't take long for the elves to put on the armor for their war pets. When all the elves put on the armor for their war pets and started marching, the momentum of the entire team changed, and the cold light of the sun's metal shone with murderous intent.
Dai Da was secretly surprised. They all said that the elves have weak melee combat capabilities. It seems that the rumors are wrong! In the last war, the Elf Expeditionary Legion was able to defend the right wing of the defense line with only a broken legion of Lordaeron. It seems that there is a reason.
.Although the entire Jing Expedition Corps was wiped out in that war, their combat power cannot be ignored!
If the Windrunner sisters and Yulin Blood Eagle knew Dai Lin's thoughts now, they would definitely laugh out loud! The Allies still don't know that the disappearance of the Elven Expeditionary Corps for so long was not a total annihilation, but to help Yu Lin
Blood Eagle went to a Stranglethorn Valley to grab a boat.
After marching for a certain distance, the Allied forces saw the looming orcs on the gate of the newly built wooden camp that the orcs had hurriedly built.
The second flying force has not yet arrived, and the Allied forces have not launched an attack immediately. The number of orcs is small, and they dare not leave the fortifications and run out to get angry. Both sides have a tacit understanding of a quiet confrontation.
This kind of quiet confrontation has completely different experiences for the two sides who are only one step away. The Allies are basically relaxed and at ease. The human cavalry have already dismounted, but the orcs are nervous. Maybe.
When they attacked Menethil City, they definitely never thought there would be such a result!
The Alliance army did not let the orcs tense up in such an environment for too long. Almost an hour later, the sound of wings flapping the air came from the sky.
About a hundred elven griffin flying troops flew over the heads of the allied forces. The human knights mounted their horses one after another, and the elven rangers also took out their bows and arrows.
The orcs who poked their heads at the city gate saw the arrival of the elven flying troops, and they all retracted their heads. Only many skeletons were left above the camp gate.
Alleria asked the messenger to give a signal.
After receiving the attack signal, the Elf Lion Knights hovering over the mining field, like a group of hens laying eggs, poured down handfuls of bombs at the same time, as if the bombs would explode in their hands if they were left for a while.
.
In just a few breaths, the Griffin Knights basically threw away almost all the bombs they carried. There was a sudden explosion, and countless black smoke rose in the mining site.
A group of ten gryphon knights who had never dropped bombs suddenly dropped giant bombs on the simple village gate and fence built by the orcs at the mouth of the valley with logs. Each of these specially made bombs was at least as big as two heads.
Each griffon knight could only carry two bombs at most. After the bomb was dropped, the elf griffon knights scrambled to their feet.
In the sound of more than a dozen consecutive huge explosions, the simple village gate and the nearby log fence that the orcs had worked hard to build were blown into countless sawdust in an instant. After throwing the bomb, the Elf Griffin Knight did not leave, but took out
Bows and arrows hovered over the quarry, and occasionally swooped down to shoot.
"Attack! Attack!" Dai Lin shouted loudly while riding on his horse.
In an instant, thousands of horses galloped, and the human paladin light and heavy cavalry urged their horses to rush towards the gap opened in the orc defense line with the roar of thunder.
