The entrance to the quarry is five hundred meters away.
In the commander's tent in the Allied camp.
Sylvanas looked intently at the small nails on her slender fingers.
Alleria pretended to look at the military map seriously.
Dai Lin frowned and walked around irritably, waiting for the two elves to reply.
It's just that Dai Lin felt that the two female elves had been absent-minded and had no intention of talking at all. This situation had been going on for quite some time.
"General Alleria, we organize another attack and we will surely seize the mountain pass!" Dai Lin finally couldn't bear it any longer.
Since the death knights in the quarry were eliminated, the Alliance army moved the temporary military camp to the flat land meters away from the entrance of the quarry. The current quarry has become a buffer zone for the confrontation between the remaining orcs and the Allied forces.
Because the quarry is connected to the small highland plain occupied by the remnants of the orcs, and is in the shape of a stepped cliff, no one knows whether the orcs will build new catapults on it.
If the Allies camped inside the quarry and the orcs used catapults to deploy subordinates on the cliff and attack from above, most of the quarry would be within attack range.
This would be too dangerous, so after discussion, everyone agreed that the camp should be moved and stationed five hundred meters outside the entrance of the quarry. First, the ground here is flat and the view is wide, and secondly, the entrance to the quarry can be effectively controlled, which is convenient for our own personnel.
Entering and exiting can also prevent orcs from coming out to attack.
The Allied forces have been camping at this place for more than ten days.
Dai Lin also tried to seize the mountain pass guarded by the orcs many times during this period, but each time due to the dangerous and narrow terrain, the troops could not be deployed and attacked upwards. In addition to losing many men and horses in several organized attacks, there was no
A little bit of achievement.
The elves were very opposed to Dai Pu's idea of attacking. They believed that if they guarded the mountain pass and cut off the orcs' supplies, the orcs would eventually surrender. Therefore, fierce quarrels between Dai Lin and the Windrunner sisters were often heard in the tent.
However, the elves finally gave in and agreed to provide flying troops to support the human army's attack, and promised that if the human army could control the mountain pass, the elven troops would attack the orcs with all their strength until the orcs there were completely annihilated.
However, the results of more than ten days of attacks not only made the elves less confident, but also most of the human soldiers felt hopeless. Only Dai Lin still stubbornly insisted on his opinion.
"Admiral Dailin, you are sure. I can't remember how many times I have heard you say this in the past few days!" Alleria shook her head and said, "I once said, don't let impulse blind your wisdom and excessive hatred.
It will only make you make more mistakes, withdraw your troops!"
"I'm not willing to give in!" Dai Lin punched the table hard.
"There is news from the southwest. The orcs have broken through the Strait of Hormuz, and the battle line is advancing towards the hinterland of Arasi. In addition, according to the reconnaissance of the flying unit, an orc unit is entering the wetland from the southwest.
At present, we cannot speculate on the target of this orc force, so I think we should withdraw our troops and return to defend Menethil City first. I don’t think you want the city of Menethil that you just recaptured to fall into the hands of the orcs again!
"Aurelia raised her head and looked at Daelin and said slowly.
Dai Lin's tense and excited body seemed to have been suddenly drained of all strength, and he sat slumped on the chair and remained silent.
"This orc army is initially estimated to have about 12,000 people, which means it is two full legions. Although we are still unable to find out which clan this orc army comes from, and how strong its combat strength is.
.
But if they take Menethil City directly and occupy Menethil City before us, then all our troops here will become a lonely army surrounded by the orc army.
At that time, we will have no supplies and no escape route. Needless to say, you know how dangerous that situation is." Alleria still spoke in a calm tone.
Dai Lin remained silent, but the distorted expression on his face showed that there was a fierce debate going on in his mind.
After a long time.
"The war has just begun, and there are still many orcs!" Alleria looked at the silent Dailin sympathetically and said.
"Okay! Withdraw the troops!" After saying these two words, Dai Lin seemed to have exhausted all his life's strength.
Sylvanas stood up silently and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Alleria asked Sylvanas.
"Take the gryphon flying troops back to the gryphon camp!" Sylvanas said without looking back: "We waste too much time here!"
Walking to the door, Sylvanas suddenly turned back and said: "If the orc army in the southwest also has death knights, they will definitely walk faster than you in the swamp. I hope they will not go straight to Menethil.
City!" After saying that, she shook her long golden hair and disappeared from the door of the military tent.
Seeing Sylvanas disappear, Alleria turned to Dailin and said: "It seems that we really need to speed up our defense!"
Dai Lin nodded silently.
Sylvanas's mood was not as relaxed as she showed in the commander's tent. After she led the gryphon knights back to the gryphon camp on the roadside, she immediately issued a series of orders.
These orders were mainly for round-the-clock surveillance of the 12,000 orcs who suddenly entered the wetlands in the southwest. In addition, she also arranged for some people to continue to monitor the remnants of the orcs on the mountaintop plains in the northwest.
What she said to Alleria before leaving was not casual, but she was really reminding Daelin that the current situation of the Allied Forces was not very safe.
After arranging everything, Sylvanas felt that she finally felt a little more relaxed. Daelin's stubborn Sylvanas didn't think much of it. Anyway, it was his own human troops who were going to attack. How could Sylvanas survive?
I won't care.
What troubles Sylvanas is that until now, she has never been clear about whether what she is doing is right or wrong, whether it is to encourage self-respect or to create trouble.
This was the first time in the Alliance War that she had behaved like this, cheating and making small calculations just for herself. Sylvanas always felt as if there was an invisible barrier in her heart, making her feel uncomfortable.
She is not as heartless as Yulin Blood Eagle, and her skin is thicker than the city wall, and she has no mentality of dropping everything and running away to learn how to smoke from the fortress Prince Torre, so she is always conflicted in her heart.
In fact, she could completely occupy the upper pass of the small mountain road before the orcs discovered it. She only needed to deploy a small number of rangers and mages there. With such a steep terrain, even if the orcs had thousands of troops, they would not be able to
