Edlan rode the Great Lord's golden war horse to the phalanx composed of blood elf paladins, and he asked Liadline in a low voice who was concentrating on communicating with the warhorse, "Liadrin, how are you feeling?

"We priests don't rely very much on magic in the first place, and since we use holy light energy, at least my sisters and I don't feel anything special right now. This was the first time that Liadrin, as a paladin, had actually participated in the battle of what humans called a group charge, and she was now more nervous than calm, she didn't even think that she would have to kill a few more undead to comfort her dead compatriots when she went to battle.

On the contrary, Liadline still had the leisure to take a second look at Adelan's soul warhorse, she could feel that it was the soul of the war horse purified by the holy light, and now it was a gift from the ironforge fortress brought by the master craftsman Owersbuck, two large pieces of arcane crystals with a purity of up to 80% and Azeroth diamonds, after getting these two good things, Edlan immediately asked several dwarven blacksmiths in the city to make a vest for this soul warhorse......

Then it almost restored the golden light war horse of the great lord in Edlan's impression, and with the help of those skilled craftsmen of the dwarves, with the addition of these two rare ores, this soul war horse is now surging with a dazzling light all over its body, making the soul breath full of holy taste, which is the effect of the vest made of ore with strong tenacity and magic conductivity, as if this horse is like a holy beast descended by holy light.

This kind of too cool effect makes Edlan a little painful, because this light, whether it is friend or foe, can be easily discovered, riding on it is easy to interfere with his vision, although the enemy is facing the undead and demons, but he doesn't want to be the enemy's primary target all the time, so he found the blood elf's rune tailor master to help cut a piece of cloth that can reduce the light transmission and external magic conductivity to a certain extent, and draped it on the horse.

But unexpectedly, this piece of rune cloth dyed blue with a golden vest unexpectedly made this war horse look more solemn and sacred...... Such a particularly sacred-looking, purified war horse from pure holy light, plus a vest made of expensive minerals, once formed, almost became the focus of attention of all paladins, plus this kind of soul war horse only needs to input holy energy can be used in combat without physical restrictions, under this convenient characteristic, even other priests want to have one such war horse as a mount.

When Edlan gave the remaining slightly smaller soul horse to Lisa Whitemayne, it was a little less dissatisfied, and the latter saw that such a good thing should be given a chance to the capable priests, and by the way, they could also hunt those death knights!

For a while, Edlan was in a trance and wondered if he had become an NPC, and with the help of Lisa's hand, he started the epic mount quest of the paladin to the "player......

Now, in response to Liadrin's answer, Adlane nodded, one of the items in the expeditionary force's materials is magic crystals of various purities, which accounts for 30% of the blood elf troops' material ratio, even if they don't have many spellcasters, but this proportion can't be reduced no matter what, the reason is demon addiction.

Those Magisters, despite being very powerful output units, are too dependent on mana, and in the case of classes such as the Clergy and Ranger who don't rely too much on mana, those mana crystals are almost exclusively for them...... I really have to say that the blood elves have also made a bloody investment for this expedition, and the warehouse in Silvermoon City should be almost empty, right?

"It's okay, are you all ready? Look ahead...... Areel: Their purpose has been achieved, and it's time for us to play. ”

Yes, plans are always not as fast as they change, and I don't know what went wrong, not long ago, when the coalition forces had just landed at the location of this "future" northern castle, the troops were still gathered, and the auxiliaries and sailors were still carrying supplies from the ship, an overwhelming number of undead began to pour in from the direction of the horizon!

As a result, the plan that was supposed to land smoothly and then conduct a long-distance raid was forced to become a rapid formation on the spot, ready for a round of defensive counterattack.

Since the fleet had no combat ships and no sharp naval artillery support, the coalition forces invariably chose to leave the beach immediately and ascend to the high ground to occupy the favorable terrain. After a brief deliberation, Tyrande's Sentinel Archers of less than 100 men and Huntress of 30 men were dotted with the 1,000 Ranger and 500 Magisters sent by Edlan.

"I hope Captain Ariel doesn't disappoint me......"

Edlan's muttering was heard by Liadeline, who proudly said, "Ariel is a very good Ranger Captain, she killed 20 forest trolls in the Troll War! And she and her Rangers have achieved remarkable results in the Battle of Quel'Thalas! You will see her in action." ”

"No, Liadrin, I don't want her to show any personal heroism, it's not worth mentioning the sheer number of undead, I just want her to be as she did in our training. ”

"......" Liadlin was obviously very dissatisfied with the outspokenness of her boss and new mentor, she was just praising her colleagues, how could it be so serious, and within the blood elves, many people did not understand, and even doubted whether this human general intended to break

Bad for their blood elves' traditional tactics!

Let's see who he has chosen for the vanguard of this expedition, a knighted ranger, a skilled magister, and a knighted priest...... If this was only a reasonable way to say that the army was in a hurry, then on the following journey, he summoned officers at all levels more than once and repeatedly emphasized his so-called "fight-and-run" tactics.

This tactic is simple, just like what Liadline sees now

Placed in the last formation, the 100 Sentinel Archers under the command of Tyrande waited idly for their temporary teammates to retreat from the front, and two kilometers in front of them, the rangers and magisters who had quickly passed by the feet of the chocobo were already engaged!

Under the repeated emphasis of officers at all levels, the rangers changed the tactics of firing a few rounds of salvos in front of the previous formation, and when the enemy approached, they directly drew their sabers and went up to fight the enemy hand-to-hand, but in their opinion, it was very strange to divide the team of 1,000 people into 5 teams for every 200 people according to the death order of a certain general, and the 500 magisters were a team of 100 people, advancing and retreating with those rangers......

Of course, at first, when I first heard that a human paladin, even if he was a general, came to tell these rangers and mages how to fight, many blood elves couldn't fix their stinky problems, and they couldn't help laughing on the spot, because they didn't believe in what kind of results this so-called new method of warfare could bring to them. And because of Edlan's approachable behavior these days, many blood elves still think that the other party is here to tell them jokes......

It wasn't until Adelan repeatedly emphasized that he even did not hesitate to use military orders to force those self-righteous and arrogant generals to obey the command, and then under the leadership of Ranger Captain Ariel, they began to carry out the tactics of this human general with suspicion and uneasiness.

The Magus began to chant small-scale joint spellcasting, although they had not yet tried to cast spells on the Chocobo, and because riding the Chocobo was somewhat unstable in their control of their concentration and mental power, there was a complementary effect of energy pooling and spell construction in the process of joint casting, which gave these Magus a lot of confidence in fighting in this way for the first time.

At the same time, the rangers lined up, and even though they knew it wasn't their familiar way of fighting, they kept their expressions calm, as if they were out on an outing, rather than facing an army of the undead with no end in sight.

As Captain Ariel took the lead in firing the bow, all the rangers raised their hands as if they were doing a single action, and the light arrow string of their right hand pulled backwards one by one with extremely penetrating three-edged arrows roared out, drawing a wonderful parabola in the air and shooting towards the intended target, no matter how well the necromancers in the front position were protected by the abomination of the big guys, the strange arrows that shuttled through the air as if they were controlled by some magic could accurately find their enemies!

This round of volleys alone made the necromancers hiding in the undead array scramble for a while, and they had to turn on their protective spells to deal with the successive targeted shots.

"Woo Woo ......"

Clusters of death flowers bloomed in the army formation of the undead, but their bloom was like a flash in the pan, and they were quickly crushed by the undead who followed, but the second round of arrows that followed once again caused the black tide-like army to set off discordant waves.

"Boom ......"

10 large-scale flame storms burst out from the ground, almost forming a wide "wall of fire", and the blazing temperature not only directly burned many undead, but also caused those undead who surged up behind to be burned continuously! The dazzling orange red of the "wall of fire" completely cut off the black wave of undead pioneers for a while!

After the preemptive suppression of these rangers, so that the local long-range troops could not counterattack at the first time, and then the combined spell of the Magister created an almost perfect kill after three rounds of volleys! In this relatively narrow terrain, due to the large number of casualties of the grassroots command, the front line of the undead army was also frustrated, so that many of the undead who followed up inevitably had a certain degree of confusion and an imbalance in the offensive rhythm, which created an excellent counterattack opportunity for the living side.

But just when the rangers and magisters saw that the attack was effective and wanted to continue the pursuit, Captain Ariel's shout came, "Retreat...... What are you doing in a daze? Blow the trumpet and retreat!"

"Woo~" The trumpeter very reluctantly blew the horn of the agreed first team to retreat.

Despite their great displeasure, the soldiers of the expeditionary force obeyed the order and quickly withdrew from the left and right sides on the landing birds.

At the same time as they retreated, the army of the undead who were not afraid of death advanced again, they stepped on the heads of those chaotic undead, stepped on the "corpses" of dead "colleagues", and they used their bodies to block the damage of the "wall of fire" that burst out of the ground, in order to create opportunities for the "colleagues" who followed behind......

Then the second array of blood elves saw the scene in front of them, some of the guys with fast heads suddenly realized, they remembered the situation when they fought against the undead, so now they are completely excited about this "brand-new" combat method, many people began to gear up, and soon, under the order of the detachment leader, the rangers began their performance, and the magisters gave up the group firestorm that caused great damage this time, and turned into a wide-area blizzard to slow down......

In this way, a team of blood elves, so strong that they have no friends, the long-range troops wash the floor

, and then retreat, a short rest and standby to maintain their state, so that these 1,500 blood elves created dozens of times their own number of kills! And their own attrition, in addition to the consumption of arrows, physical strength and mental power to a certain extent, this is much better than the previous undead army whose lives are like snowballs! This was not even thought of before. Even if the chocobo isn't a durable and explosive mount, it's enough to run faster than those ghouls!

This tactic does not stop until the end of the tactical depth or when the arrows are exhausted, or the Ranger is running out of stamina or the Magister is running out of mental power......

This tactic like a sponge absorbing water seems to be "sucking dry" the army of the undead little by little! And the other side, except for using the air force to forcibly raid one round and disrupt the rotation order of the five columns, has no chance to counterattack at all. In this kind of attack, the undead's meat grinder can't keep up with the speed of the troops, and their ranged fire units can't compare to the rangers and magisters, plus Edlan's previous reminder of the Red Dragon Queen's action to cause the Cursed Cult to steal the dragon bones was taught a good lesson by the angry dragons, so that until now, there has not been a single frost dragon in the undead army, which greatly weakens the overall military strength of the Scourge.

This is why Adelan boldly divided the blood elves' long-range troops into 5 teams, one is to limit the number of people, and the other is to a certain extent of air defense, the gargoyle raid is not only Adelan, those experienced officers also expected, so when the people in the front team are attacking, they encounter those gargoyles in the sky storming, then the team behind them must immediately deal with the threat from the air! It is imperative that the team that completes the predetermined target of attack is withdrawn and that the latter team is immediately rotated.

I have to say that although there is some chaos, these blood elves who have experienced the troll war, the orc invasion, the bloody battle of the Elven Gate, the escape battle and the defense of Silvermoon City are still tacit enough in the battle against the undead, and the tacit understanding is that this set of tactics has not been practiced at all, this is the first time they have carried out Edlan's death order, and the combat effectiveness they have shown shocked the night elves such as Tyrande who are watching the battle!

This is a completely different way of fighting, this kind of flexibility in combat thinking is something they can't do, the long life is destined to these immortals are not easily flexible creatures, even if they are not afraid of death to face the war, they are almost all in accordance with the traditional methods of warfare to this day...... The almost unchanged time in 10,000 years has created their brilliant civilization, but it has also blinded their eyes to see the changes in the outside world, and just as the Night Elves were building their own "utopia" in ancient Kalimdor, the humans of the Eastern Continent had already transformed and grown up in constant warfare.

So when they saw that such a "novel" way of fighting had achieved great results, their senses for Edran were raised by a few notches.

To use prestige as an example, when Adlan himself led an expeditionary force to help the Night Elves, his reputation was friendly, and now that he has shown his strength, this reputation has grown to the point of respect.

"I have to say, you're doing a good job, but it's not enough to deal with demons. Illidan's uninhibited voice came, he had no task now, and stood idly by Edlan's side to watch the battle.

"Well, it's good to use different tactics against different enemies...... Liadrin, get your men on the horse, we're ready to rush. Edlan nodded to Illidan and then rolled over his horse, "I think you can also go to your girlfriend Illidan, do as I say, and I will lead you to victory in this battle." ”

"Tsk......" Although he knew that the other party did not know his relationship with Tyrande, Illidan was still in a very comfortable mood after hearing this, plus this human did have some ability, and I have to say that he also arranged a good place for him, that is, behind Ashala, he can ride with Tyrande!

Illidan glanced at Tyrande, who was making the final preparations in the distance, every movement that was focused on without distraction, even the superfluous movements of gently pulling his side hair was so pleasing to the eye, he would soon be able to ride with his beloved, which made him feel that these 10,000 years of captivity were nothing at all! Thinking of this, Illidan was a little excited, and his face was a little hot, he wanted to take a step over, but he found that he couldn't take a step......

Edlan glanced at it gossipingly, Illidan looked no different from the first brother who was in love, which made him feel a little surprised, "Hell......" Then he quickly collected his mood, and watched the troops in front of him who were "bleeding" the undead layer by layer were getting closer to his troops, and he shouted: "It's time! Herold, blow the trumpet, let the troops line up!"

"Yes! General!"

The melodious horn sounded, and the assault troops, which were the most important of all, began to finish their preparations, and the riders got on their horses and returned to their positions. Illidan also sat down behind the lover of his dreams under Tyrande's puzzled gaze.

Edlan glanced back at the army in a conical formation with satisfaction, the golden light war horse was very psychic, the hind legs were forced, and the front legs soared into the air, and Edlan, who was elevated, raised the sword of the Brotherhood high, and slashed it forward, the red sword body looked extremely bright under the reflection of the holy light, and then the loud shout seemed to spread throughout the sky of this ancient land

"Knights of Light, Attack"
