Chapter 028: The Battle Ahead
"Big Chief, I'm sorry I'm late."
Woking rushed to the Valley of Wisdom, made a beeline for a tall building, and passed through three gates to the hall where Thrall dealt with tribal affairs.
"Woking, my friend, we're just getting started, and it's hard to get you back."
Thrall was overjoyed to see Woke returning, and immediately stood up to greet him, and motioned for the troll chief to sit first on his left hand.
"Now that Woking is back, let's hear from him first."
Thrall waited for Woking to sit down, and then said to the other tribal leaders, and everyone agreed, after all, they all wanted to know about the situation of the tribe's army fighting on the front line.
"Then I'll start by saying that at present, we have wiped out all the minions of the Burning Legion in the Alterac Mountains, and it is estimated that the Burning Legion has lost nearly thirty percent of the demon army."
Woking's simple and clear report on the situation ahead, and the news he brought was very morale-boosting, and the leaders nodded their heads and expressed their satisfaction with the battle.
Speaking of which, Thrall's decision to rush to the aid of the Alterac Mountains this time was also a decisive battle, although the first wave of the tribal army led by Woking only invested half of the troops, but it was very successful to achieve such a result.
"In this way, the main force of the Burning Legion still has the strength to fight!"
Queen Sylvanas spoke at this time, she didn't want to pour cold water on Woking's record at this time, but just to remind everyone that there were still most demons that had not been destroyed.
"Woking, go on."
Thrall was aware of the Queen's concerns, but he believed that Woking could not just destroy the demons of Alterac Valley and do nothing, so he motioned for his old friend to continue.
"Yes, Grand Chief."
Woking looked back at Sal for a moment, then stood up from his place and walked to the center of the hall.
There is a map made of giant hides, marking the geographical location and cultural identity of all of Azeroth.
"Our army, supported by the Undercity, landed on the west coast of the Tirisfal Glades this time and took the lead in the Western Plaguelands, but the demons there have long since retreated."
Woking pointed to the map on the big animal skin and explained little by little, looking very patient.
"At this time, we received an urgent report that a large number of demonic traces have been found in the Alterac Mountains, and it is likely that they are the main force of the Burning Legion's demonic army."
The Troll Chief continued, only with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
"We immediately adjusted our strategy and divided our troops into two routes, one for about sixty percent of our troops from the Western Plague Mountains to the Alterac Mountains, and the remaining forty percent of our troops went around the Silver Pine Forest before entering the Hillsbrad Hills."
Woking propped his hands on the ground and gestured across the map as if he were dancing a troll's exclusive dance.
"Two ways to divide the soldiers? If you encounter the main force of the Burning Legion, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to win? ”
A tall minotaur spoke at this time, his brownish-gray fur was particularly thick, his long black hair was braided into thick braids and hung down on his chest, his huge horns spread out to both sides, and his rock-like muscles showed his strength.
This is the chief of the Minotaur and the master of Thunder Bluff, Kane Bloodhoof.
"Of course, there will be such concerns, but if we choose to go straight into Okuyama from the western plague and seize the opportunity in time, we will have a time advantage."
Woking agrees with Kane, but he doesn't risk the horde's army, after all, he never likes head-to-head combat.
"It's understandable to get a head start, but what about after that?"
Kane listened to Woking's explanation and understood something in his heart, but he wanted to hear the specific battle situation.
"In the end, it turned out that our strategy worked. When I led the army into the Alterac Valley, the demons were unprepared and the battle was a great victory. ”
Woking pointed to the location of the Alterac Valley on the map and spoke excitedly.
"The Alterac Valley is a long and narrow terrain, and even if the demons have a numerical advantage, they can't play it, but this is in our favor."
"The demon must have thought that our main army had launched a general attack, and after suffering several waves of defeats, chose to march to the southern part of the Alterac Valley, and at this time our detour troops arrived and formed a flanking attack on them."
"As a result, the demon army began to disagree, and finally had to retreat all the way east, from the Arathi Heights."
With that, Woking stood up and nodded at Sal.
"Hmmm! Although the Burning Legion suffered a surprise attack, after all, it is the main demon army, and the number is huge, so you shouldn't continue to pursue, right? ”
Sal looked at his old friend, he knew his character, and after a big victory, he would definitely hold on to the advantage, and wait until the troops were reorganized.
"Poor Kou Mo chases, besides, although the other party is caught by us, but because the demon's combat power is strong, and the high-level demon who is in charge of the final command is obviously sober, we can't take advantage of it."
"The victory this time was only because we seized the opportunity and launched a surprise attack, which created the illusion that the tribe army launched a general attack, otherwise we would not have much advantage in opening up the frontal battlefield."
Woking's grasp of the battlefield situation is very clear, and he feels that being able to destroy the opponent's 30% army is already a great victory for the tribe at this stage.
"I think Lord Woking made the right choice, the demons have been infiltrating for a long time, even in the Tirisfal Glade outside the Undercity, which has been active a lot lately."
Queen Sylvanas had been thinking about it, and after listening to Woking's explanation, she felt that the strategy of the Troll Chief had no mission problem.
"In such a situation, it is inevitable to seize the opportunity to fight the demon fiercely, but it is rare not to blindly pursue after victory."
The queen knew that the tribe was definitely warlike, and there were many tribal generals who wanted to show their strength and glory by gaining great achievements and military exploits in battle.
Blind military operations are long gone, and the Horde still relies on fragile agreements and alliances to resist the Burning Legion until it is finally able to wipe out the demon army of Azeroth.
In this way, Woking's steady combat style is very worthy of reference from other tribal generals, and it is actually very difficult to hold the advantage in war.
"That's right, is the army currently repairing in the Alterac Valley?"
Thrall agrees with Queen Sylvanas' words, and he asks Woking about the movements of the Horde's army.
"Nope! In fact, when we first entered the Alterac Mountains, we caught an archdemon and obtained some very useful information from him. ”
"The destination of the demons should be the Demon Gate of the Cursed Lands, and if they are allowed to occupy it, a steady stream of demons will come to Azeroth......"
