The officers of the Joint Operations Command in Menethil Port did not dare to make rash adjustments to their military deployment based on this almost fanciful enemy situation report. So they could only wait anxiously for the next day.
The elf griffin knight who went to investigate will make a decision after returning from the recording session.
At noon the next day, the elven gryphon knights who went for reconnaissance brought back the memory crystal that recorded the scene in Grim Batol and its surroundings. The human and elven commanders of the joint combat headquarters couldn't wait to open it in the combat headquarters.
Record images.
The legendary huge black dragon was not seen, but with Grim Batol as the center, there were raging fires everywhere within a radius of dozens of miles. Such fires, let alone ordinary orcs,
I'm afraid even the Death Knight won't be able to escape, and will definitely be burned to a crisp.
Many human and elf commanders in the joint combat headquarters finally reluctantly believed the fairy tales described by the elf griffon knights. Although the memory crystal has proved the authenticity of the fairy tales told by the elf griffon knights, they still
Many commanders still feel as if they are in a dream.
Gone? Are the two orc legions that have always made the Elf Expeditionary Force and Daelin's human army feel as heavy as mountains and awns on their backs, just wiped out in the blink of an eye?
In the past few days, everyone had been speculating about the motives of these two orc legions, and even felt frightened by the power they possessed. However, just a few days ago? How come they were inexplicably attacked by a giant dragon that came from nowhere?
So that not even the dregs are left?
"I think... I think... I have to go to the scene to see it in person, otherwise I really can't believe the authenticity of this matter." Dai Lin swallowed hard and said.
Countless elves and human commanders nodded in agreement.
noon.
A group of about fifty elven gryphon knights were waiting to take off on the flat ground of the pier.
This time is different from the past. Among these elf griffin knights, twenty of them only wear the lightest cloth, and their weapons only carry bows and a quiver each because they have to carry elves and humans.
The commanders are going to Grim Batol. The other thirty Elf Griffin Knights are fully armed and will fly as escorts for the transport team of the transport officer inspection team.
Not long after, the elves and human officers from the officer inspection group arrived, including ten elves and ten human officers each.
The gryphon knights took off.
It was the first time for human officers to fly on a flying mount. At first they felt fresh and curious, but after an hour, they didn't feel so good anymore.
The gryphon knights flying in the sky look very handsome on the ground, but you will only feel the hard work when you sit on them. This is different from riding a horse. When you are tired from riding a horse, you can rest on the spot and fly.
Mounts cannot.
Because you must first find a place that is convenient for taking off next time before you can land. Otherwise, if you land, the Griffin will not be able to take off again with people, and then you will have to walk on foot.
Because when the gryphon takes off with a load, it needs a short run-up distance. If you are tired from flying on the sea, then you can only pray that a safe island where you can land will appear in front of you quickly! Otherwise, no matter how tired you are,
, you also have to straighten your back and control your mount carefully.
If you are really unlucky and can't find a place to land on the sea, then it will be very miserable. There is a high chance that you may change from flying in the sky to swimming in the water, or even more likely to become a submarine and then a fish.
Food, finally becomes...
Due to load reasons and safety concerns, the Elf Gryphon Knights all fly along the road, stopping and resting for a while after flying for a period of time.
This arrangement made every officer of the expedition group quite satisfied, but the time to arrive at Grim Batol was also postponed to the evening because of this.
When they arrived, there were still raging fires burning in Grim Batol and its surrounding areas, making it impossible for anyone to enter and observe. All they could see was fire, fire, black smoke, and even they couldn't even see it.
Not even a shadow of Grim Batol City can be seen.
"It seems that the fire here will not be extinguished in a few days!" Dai Ben said with a sigh. I don't know if he was sighing at the huge fire, or at the ability of the guy who caused the fire.
The human and elven commanders finally fully believed this almost impossible story. Since they could not enter the fire zone, and he did not know the specific situation of the orcs in Grim Batol, they decided to go back first and wait a few days.
After the fire is out, let’s observe again.
But it was already late, so Dai Lin and the commanders agreed to stay one night and return early tomorrow morning. All the human and elf commanders agreed, but the elf griffin knights held strong objections.
Because the elven griffon knights were afraid that being at such a close distance might attract the attention of the black dragon who set fire, which would bring great danger. They strongly requested that they fly back for a while before it gets completely dark.
Stop and set up camp.
The officers of the inspection team had no choice but to agree with the opinions of the gryphon knights.
A peaceful night passed.
At noon the next day, Daelin and the commanders of the expedition team returned to the joint operations command room in Menethil Port. Although it was confirmed that the orcs of Grim Batol had suffered a powerful attack for unknown reasons.
The giant black dragon is attacking, and the fire in Grim Batol is still fierce.
However, no one really knows what happened to the orc troops in Grim Batol, so the commanders of the Joint Operations Command still dare not take it lightly.
Daelin proposed to immediately organize a vanguard force composed entirely of cavalry troops and rush to Grim Batol for investigation and verification.
Starting from Menethil Port, even if a pure cavalry force marches by land to Grim Batol in a rapid march, it will take at least ten to fifteen days. This period of time is enough time to burn out the last grain of the fire there.
Mars, once the troops arrive there, they can directly enter Grim Batol to explore.
The elves had no cavalry, but they all had mounts, so they agreed to Daelin's proposal.
The humans sent one unit each of heavy and light cavalry, totaling 1,200 people, while the elves sent a mixed formation of 400 rangers and 200 mages as a long-range attack force to go to Grimba together with the two human units.
Trust.
In addition, in addition to being responsible for reconnaissance and surveillance along the way, the Elf Knights are also responsible for reinforcing ground troops or assisting ground troops in attacking at any time.
After everything was arranged, it was already the second day after the inspection team returned.
