"Lord Xingluoge said that this is the fastest marching speed he can maintain now!" Shideva's adjutant said with a wry smile.
This was not the first time he had answered the same question today. He felt that Shideva was too impatient.
Shideva was silent for a while and stopped talking. He turned around and quietly observed the orc army.
"My lord, there are more than a dozen humans being chased by orcs and wolf cavalry." The adjutant said suddenly.
"Got it!" Shdeva said indifferently.
"Go to the rescue?" Shdeva's adjutant asked.
"Don't go!" Shideva shook his head, looked at the dozen human villagers who were being chased by the orcs in the distance and said: "We can't be exposed now, as this will make the orcs more vigilant towards us. When you go back, let Anhador
Lord, find an excuse to move all the human villagers in the direction in which the orcs may be traveling. No matter what the excuse is, it cannot be said that the orcs have invaded. You can figure this out!"
"Okay, sir!" the adjutant said with a smile: "For example, Lord Anhador's birthday, handing out relief supplies and so on, right?"
"It's good that you know!" Shdeva also said with a smile: "Let's go back to the Hera Valley and go there first to see how the preparations are going." Shdeva turned and walked back.
"Yes! Sir." the adjutant responded and hurriedly followed.
After meeting with Lord Anhador, Shide and the others did not stay in the city of Anhador for a long time. Instead, they only stayed for a few days and then moved to the Hera Valley to station themselves and wait for the main force of the Eastern Xuntran Army.
arrival.
The Hera Valley is not the most dangerous ideal ambush site. There is an even more dangerous valley in front of it. However, Shdeva rejected the proposal to set up an ambush in the dangerous valley in front of it.
Because if you think it is appropriate, others will also see the dangers there. The enemy may be vicious or cruel, but the enemy will never be a fool, and the enemy will not stupidly sneak in as desired.
The Hera Valley is different. Precisely because there is a more dangerous terrain ahead, after the orcs carefully pass through, if they do not find an ambush, they will easily think that the Allies have not discovered their traces at all, so when passing through the Hera Valley, they will
They will relax their vigilance. Even if not all orcs relax their vigilance, it is enough as long as some orcs relax their vigilance.
What is important in an ambush attack is suddenness. Without the suddenness, the meaning of the ambush will be lost. This is the first battle since the formation of the Eastern Hinterlands Army, so we can only win but not lose.
In order to win this battle, the elves prepared a large amount of poison and took a large amount of gunpowder bombs from the Wildhammer dwarves. In the words of the city lord, if you can fight with money, don't use human lives to fill it.
If the roads were not smooth and transportation was difficult, they would have even transported all the artillery and ballistas that defended the city.
Everyone knows that money is needed to fight a war, and besides, the money is not provided by them. They only care about fighting a good war, and money matters are not within their scope of consideration. Money matters are a headache that the Parliament should worry about. It is up to the members of the Parliament.
Go ahead and worry, they don't care.
In fact, the officers wanted the Queldenis Council to go to Quel'Thalas to find more mages. Unfortunately, even the Queldenis Council could not do anything about this.
Twenty miles west of the Hera Valley, the temporary station of the flying troops.
The temporary station of the flying troops was very quiet. Except for a small number of Wildhammer dwarves stationed there, the others either went to monitor the orcs or went to the Hera Valley to lay out some preparations required for an ambush. To put it bluntly, they were making traps, such as poisonous needle formations.
Mine arrays and other great gifts to the orc troops.
When Shidwa returned to his station, an Elf Griffin officer reported to him that there was a team of about three hundred Silver Hand Paladins in the Kingdom of Lordaeron marching to their current station.
Sidva nodded and said nothing.
The Lord of Anhador told him that this was the reinforcement he requested from the Royal City of Lordaeron. But even Lord Anhador did not expect that the Royal City of Lordaeron would send an army of three hundred saints.
A team of knights came to support.
This surprised Shideva.
"A team of more than three hundred Paladins? How long will it take for them to arrive here?" Shideva asked.
The elf griffin knight officer said: "If the estimate is not wrong, we may arrive at our temporary station around six o'clock in the evening."
Shideva looked at the sky and decided not to go to the Hera Valley, but to wait in the temporary camp for the arrival of this elite force composed solely of human paladins. He wanted to see what kind of person led this elite team.
, to see if the other party is easy to communicate with.
The team of human paladins arrived later than expected, and it was not until dark that he came to the temporary station of the flying troops. This team of Silver Hand paladins, composed purely of human paladins, was led by Jing Ran
The famous Uther, the famous royal paladin of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
After arranging the Paladin's station, Uther and Shdvar had a long talk.
Uther hopes to start the war as soon as possible and eliminate the orc force that has sneaked into the Alliance's rear as soon as possible so that he can transfer this team of Paladins to the Alterac front line to support the battle.
Because the Paladins on the front lines of Alterac and Arasi are too short, if this orc army had not directly threatened the rear area of the largest food-producing area in the Fallen Kingdom, the alliance would not have deployed three hundred Silver Knights.
They came with a paladin in hand, not to mention that the leader was Uther, the legendary paladin.
It's just that Shdeva and Uther had different opinions during the meeting, because the Eastern Army of Suntland had just been formed. Shdeva believed that the Eastern Army must win the first battle, but it does not require a complete victory in one battle.
He does not have high demands. As long as the losses of the Eastern Legion of Xuntran are less than the losses of the orcs, he will consider it a victory. He has a three-step plan in mind to consume all the orcs step by step. He is not willing to use the Eastern Legion to compete with the orcs.
If you have a bloodbath, most of the people who die may be Evil Branch Trolls.
He personally believed that a troop carrying out a secret mission could never be an ordinary troop, but an elite troop. It was very difficult for ordinary orc troops to fight, let alone an elite troop?
But Uther is very confident in his Silver Hand Paladin team. He thinks that with his team of 300 Silver Hand Paladins, it shouldn't be a problem to crush these 1,200 orcs. Besides, it shouldn't be a problem.
Are they still prepared or unprepared? He only asked the elves to change the battlefield to a battlefield suitable for their cavalry raid.
Because the battlefield chosen by the elves now limits the performance of the cavalry. Both the elves and trolls are good at jungle warfare, while the human cavalry is better at attacking the front.
