Although Daelin received the explanation from the elves, he still wanted to see if he could try to get them to stay and help defend the city of Menethil.
The general headquarters of the Elven Expeditionary Corps is not located on the shore. They are located on a large transport ship. The ship has a very strange shape, but it can be fully loaded with Griffin Knights to take off. The elves call it an aircraft carrier.
Daelin thought the name was quite novel, but it was indeed very appropriate. He also hoped to have such an aircraft carrier. Unfortunately, the ship Proudmoore could be built, but he did not have a gryphon or any other type of flying mount that could be trained to fly.
force.
He once expressed the same request to the Wildhammer dwarves and elves, but was rejected very politely. Both sides believed that their current number of griffons was too small and not enough for their own equipment, so Daelin was too embarrassed to go looking for them again.
, but his desire to have a flying force has not weakened, on the contrary, it has become stronger and stronger.
When Dai Lin boarded the elf aircraft carrier flagship floating near the port with an envious mood, a capable elf officer came face to face.
"Admiral Daelin welcomes you very much. Why do you have time to come to us?" the elf officer said very enthusiastically.
"I came to General Alleria to discuss some military issues." Dailin made an excuse and said.
"General Alleria?" The enthusiastic elf officer was stunned for a moment and said: "She, the Blood Eagle Lord and his Sylvanas captain returned to the country to deal with emergency matters a month ago. The current command of the army is temporarily suspended.
It is commanded by a temporary combat headquarters composed of our general staff of the Hinterlands Navy and some major officers from the expeditionary legion from Quel'Thalas. If you have any questions, you can discuss with me at the temporary combat headquarters. If it is inconvenient,
You can also wait until they come back and talk to them."
"Did you leave a month ago?" Dai Lin asked in shock.
"Didn't they inform you?" The elf officer was also surprised.
"No! How did they get back?" Dai Lin asked. He had indeed not found any elven ships going out to sea during this period.
"In the griffin, they only took away the six griffin knight guards of the Blood Eagle Lord. It seems that the matter is urgent." The elf officer replied.
"When will they come back?" Dai Lin asked again.
"They didn't say anything!" the elf officer shook his head and said.
Dai Lin thought to himself, it seems that their matter is really urgent. But what kind of thing is so urgent? They all abandoned their troops and only a few officers rushed back together? Could it be that something happened in Quel'Thalas?
What major changes have occurred? But Dai Lin would not ask these questions. He knew that even if he asked, he would not get any answers.
A loud whistle interrupted Dailin's guess, and some elven ships began to gradually sail away from the horse's head.
"What are they..." Dai Lin asked as he looked at the sailing ship.
"General, please follow me to the command room!" the elf officer said.
Dailin followed the elf officer into the elf combat command room on the flagship.
In the combat command room, a group of elves were busy doing various things. When they saw Dai Lin coming in, a few more elf officers put down what they were doing and came over to say hello.
When Dai Lin expressed his doubts, an officer led Dai Lin to a huge map of the eastern continent.
The elves used blue to represent the Alliance and red to represent the orcs on the map. When Daelin saw a large red area in the Eastern Kingdom, Daelin's heart ached. A large territory that was good, but now most of it has turned into a red tide of beasts.
Already.
The entire Kingdom of Proudmoore is almost submerged in red, with only a small area of blue painted around the city of Menethil, representing the area where they are currently located. Menethil City.
Similar to the Kingdom of Proudmoore, the Kingdom of the Bronzebeard Dwarves also only painted a little blue in the city area, representing that the Bronzebeard dwarves are still resisting in guarding Ironforge.
The situation in the Kingdom of Arathi is not much better, but it has an additional place called the Valley of Refuge, and a small area of blue. However, at the same time, Stromgarde, which is labeled as the capital of Arathi, is filled with red and blue.
Only one third is occupied.
Several large arrows protrude from the red area of the Kingdom of Arathi, pointing to the north, and these large arrows have many small arrows or dotted arrows indicating the direction in which the orcs are attacking or may attack.
Daelin found that the intelligence of the Elven Expeditionary Corps was more detailed and timely than the battle reports he had seen.
"This is the latest intelligence on the battlefield in the entire eastern continent and the situation between ourselves and the enemy." said the elf officer who was obviously the chief officer.
"How can the situation in the north be so bad?" Although Dai Lin was mentally prepared, he was still shocked.
"Yes! Maybe it's more serious than we thought!" the elf officer said: "Based on the intelligence analysis we have received so far, we believe that the next step of the orcs' main offensive force will be in Alterac, but among them the Kingdom of Lordaeron
Southshore and Tarren Mill will be the first to be severely attacked.
The terrain of those two places is not very conducive to defense, especially Tarren Mill. Therefore, our analysis believes that Tarren Mill is likely to be captured. As for Nanhai Town... its strategic location is much more important than Tarren Mill.
Whether it will fall or not depends on whether the high command is determined enough to hold on."
Dai Lin also nodded and said: "It is true. Nanhai Town is blocked by a river to the south, faces the sea to the west, and has access to the rear areas of the Kingdom of Kyrgyz and Lordaeron to the north, and it is stuck at the throat of the main north-south road.
As long as Nanhai Town is defended, the orcs can be restrained from sending a large number of troops to the Kingdom of Kyrgyz and Lordaeron in the north and the Kingdom of Alterac in the east.
Even if Nanhai Town is surrounded by orcs, it doesn't matter. The Allies can still supply supplies by sea or suddenly increase their troops in large numbers, cutting off the logistics and retreat of the orc troops at any time."
The elf commander nodded and said: "So Nanhai Town is very important to us and the orcs. The Allies defended it, because with the containment of Nanhai Town, the orcs' attack will definitely be contained in the Hillsbrad area and cannot expand.
Result of the battle. Similarly, if the orcs captured Nanhai Town and were not in danger of being cut off from logistical supplies at any time, they would be able to confidently and boldly attack with all their forces to the north or east.
Therefore, our Elf Temporary Combat Command analyzes and believes that the Allied Command will defend Nanhai Town at all costs.
Given that the orcs are currently at their peak, we feel that although the Alliance can defend Nanhai Town, it won't be a big problem, but it may not have enough strength to allocate troops to defend Tarren Mill, so the fall of Tarren Mill is very likely."
Dai Lin touched his chin and studied the map for a while. He pointed on the map with his finger and said: "The headquarters is now on the road leading to the headquarters area, and has established a checkpoint defense line at the entrance of Yinsongsen in the Kyrgyz Kingdom, and also to the east.
They are building fortifications in the Alterac Valley. It seems that they want to use the entire Hillsbrad area as the location for the final decisive battle with the orcs."
