The mediocre disturb themselves, the wise know themselves, know themselves and know the enemy, and they will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

In the face of the enemy's overwhelming numerical superiority, Carlos was so uninhibited and fearless, and a large part of the reason was because he knew himself and his opponent.

Because of the alliance of humans and elves, the goal is not to destroy all the invading enemies, but to protect the civilians of Quel'Salas from the battlefield.

If this is a strategic goal, Carlos's self-confidence is no longer arrogant.

In order to wait for reinforcements from his orc allies, Zukin led the Amani trolls to give Carlos and Aurelia half a month.

But when the scouts and patrol sentinels returned the information, and the trolls and orcs actually got into action, Aurelia was physically and mentally exhausted to find that at least 5,000 or so elves had not yet finished evacuating.

"What did you do earlier? Earlier, let them go, let them withdraw, just like hurting him, but now I heard that things have changed, and I started to be anxious? Panicking? Uncle is no longer serving! ”

Although Carlos wanted to mock the family members who were crying and pleading in front of Aurelia like this, it was a pity that this little dark idea in his heart never had a chance to be put into action.

"Aurelia, five days, five days, five days, we don't have any more time for your compatriots, let them flee, we can hold the estuary in peace now, and wait for the great Sun King to deal with the endgame, but we still have to continue to fight hard for these people. Many people will die because of the stubborn stupidity of these people. ”

Carlos spoke in a calm tone, his voice was soft, and it sounded as if he was eating, and casually commented———— This dish is a little salty, maybe there is too much salt.

"Carlos, thank you. Thank you to our allies for everything they have done for us. So, as you can see, the Quildores have no position and no reason to ask our human allies to die for us. Prepare to flee, and according to the plan, we will stay here for three days. So. You have three more days to save yourselves. ”

Aurelia's hesitation didn't last long, because even the gods wouldn't save those who were bent on dying.

Aurelia knew that any more excessive demands could alienate humans and elves, and that was the last thing she wanted to see in such a time of crisis.

Ask yourself, am I doing my best?

Yes, I tried my best.

Aurelia closed her eyes and examined her mind for a moment. Realizing that he had a clear conscience, he opened his eyes.

For a moment, exhaustion and weakness seemed to disappear from Aurelia's body, and the spirited Marshal of Silvermoon City looked at everyone with confident and sharp eyes, and said: "The war has begun, there is no distinction between civilians and soldiers, and I have done my best to save my compatriots. Now our goal should be on the enemy. Take care of the rest. ”

It turns out that women are really beautiful because of their hearts!

Carlos watched as Aurelia severed the shackles that bound her mind. Returning to the fearless commander, the righteous avenger, the whole person became dazzling again, and he couldn't help but give thirty-two likes in his heart.

"Now, please leave the scene if you have nothing to do, we are going to discuss military affairs."

Became a wicked man for Aurelia. Driving away the reluctant petitioners, Aurelia breathed a sigh of relief, Carlos breathed a sigh of relief, and a kind of relaxed freehand that had been in the cage for a long time and returned to nature spontaneously.

Soldiers are not afraid to go into battle and kill the enemy. But I am most afraid of the overly heavy expectations of my parents and fellow villagers.

In fact, there is nothing more to discuss in military affairs, what should be said and what should be done has already been said, and it is too late to do what is not done. The last of the coalition's time was spent on arranging armaments.

Then, the tribe came as promised.

The first to appear are the troll's vassals, the forest spirits and kobolds.

Many people confuse the two creatures of the Dryad and the Forest Elves.

Unlike the dryads created by Cenarius, the dryads are sometimes referred to as the forest goddess by travelers who encounter them by chance in the forest. The daughters of the demigod Cenarius were mischievous creatures resembling centaurs, but much smaller, nicknamed "fawns", but their size was better suited to living in the forest. The dryad is quick to react and is able to communicate with other creatures in the forest and ask for help. As the daughters of Cenarius, the dryad has the natural ability to purify, which can be used to dispel unfavorable magic from allies and beneficial magic from enemies. Sometimes sick farmers and village girls would go to the forest alone, hoping to encounter a dryad and ask for help.

So in the impression of humans, the dryad is the body of an elk, the body of a maiden, a mysterious and fascinating creature. In fairy tales, it is also mostly seen from a neutral or friendly standpoint.

Forest spirits, on the other hand, are mischievous and troublemakers in the forest. These little creatures with intelligence but no intelligence are elemental creatures like the Tree Man, and the exact ecological situation is unknown, but there is evidence that forest spirits are divided into groups according to tree species. Individual forest elves will hide from the forest travelers, but once they are concentrated in a certain number, these matchsticks, the size of a human five-year-old child, will even dare to challenge the dragon.

And needless to say, the well-known sentence "You can't take my candle" has made kobold a household name. But many people actually have a prejudice against kobolds, because kobolds don't really have much to do with dogs. These bearded, long-mouthed creatures regard candles as more important than life, and kobolds seem to think that is the light of their life. Because kobolds are natural miners like dwarves, the most expensive thing most kobolds have is their shovels. Kobolds do not have night vision, so they can only rely on candles on their heads. Kobolds are sapient creatures who let death blind them because their lives are not all spent on killing. They have the time and ability to think, the Withered Kobold even helped the Giants seal the Earth Princess, and the Kobold of the Thousand Needles Stone Forest even use ice instead of the usual fire magic. Although kobolds are weaker in combat power than gnolls who also belong to the five scumbags, they have a certain ability to smelt and make crafts, such as mine shovels and candles. A kobold divider in the Elwyn Forest has the ability to craft fireball candles, which they can craft like a bomb.

Although Carlos has no prejudice against forest elves and kobolds, he watched as the dense crowd of guys who had not crossed the height line of children's tickets were driven by trolls in the forest. Enslaved, commanded, and clearly ill-intentioned towards the coalition forces, Carlos still felt his scalp tingle.

It turns out that I still have a phobia of density!

"Aurelia, where did you Quel'Salas get these things, it's so insane. How many of them, a thousand? Two thousand? ”

Carlos raised his skin tightly, and asked Aurelia with an uncomfortable expression, knowing that Tulayan should be in charge of the first line of defense.

"Take it easy, Carlos, it's just a trick used by trolls, kobolds are actually very smart, if the situation is not right, they will let the water run for their lives, as for the forest spirits. Those nasty things? Just set it on fire. ”

Aurelia climbed a large tree, as if she was observing something. Although Carlos was held up by the layers of branches and leaves, Aurelia should not be able to see anything. But Carlos just watched quietly as Aurelia pretended.

"The kobolds are starting to assemble, the trolls are trending towards our left, and some guys who look like the divinators of the kobolds have been pulled out separately, and there is no tactical intent to see for the time being."

After Aurelia finished speaking, Carlos looked at her strangely, and then shifted to stand under the big tree where Aurelia was. I looked at it confidently.

Big sister, how do you see that?

"The forest spirit is under the command of the troll hexel. Feeding in a large cauldron with eerie green smoke, the eyes of all the forest spirits who ate it turned red, be careful, these forest spirits may be poisonous, or they will explode. ”

Carlos leaped high and grabbed a thick branch. Roll over, move cleanly, and then put your palm in front of your eyebrows, looking left and right, except for the woods. Or a forest, except for the branches, that is, the leaves.

So, eldest sister, how did you observe the enemy's movements?

"Behind the kobolds and forest elves, there is also an army of beasts with mountain lions and wild bears as the main force, and the trolls' animal tamers are mixed in. It seems that the trolls and orcs are not prepared to use their full strength in today's temptation, and our opponents are these beasts and legions of minions. ”

With that, Aurelia jumped from the tree, and the drop of more than three meters was like a step down for the light High Elf Ranger Lord, and the movements were indescribably elegant.

"Sister, how did you see that?"

Carlos only asked, tormented by the curiosity in his heart.

"Eagle Eye."

Aurelia replied inexplicably.

"I don't read much, don't lie to me, Eagle Eye still has a perspective function?"

Carlos tilted his head and squinted at Aurelia.

"Young man, you have to learn to see the world with your heart, your eyes will deceive you, but your heart will not."

Aurelia said to Carlos with the gesture of an elder and a junior.

Hehe, the Eagle Eye technique applied to the eye of the heart, well played, I choose death!

Carlos no longer paid attention to Aurelia's nonsense, turned around and began to discuss tactical arrangements with his generals, everyone has their own little secrets, there is no need to dwell on these, at least Aurelia's intelligence gives the coalition forces of the first line of defense a first-mover advantage in tactical choices.

There is nothing to say, to deal with kobolds, a round of random arrows is enough, these intelligent creatures know how to avoid evil, casualties to a certain extent, they will scatter and escape. To deal with the forest spirit, one round of rockets is enough, as an elemental creature, the rumored bastard of the tree man, is a flammable and explosive item.

Even the trolls recruited these minions in order to consume the strategic materials of the coalition forces.

Although often the beaten side, after being beaten for thousands of years, the troll's art of war and combat skills are actually improving. Zujin is well aware of the tactics used by the High Elves, and is also well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of the elves and trolls of Quel'Thalas.

Although elves and humans are equipped with elves, they will not be opponents of trolls in terms of stamina or physical strength. Moreover, in battle, humans and elves are particularly dependent on a variety of armaments. Use a large army of minions to consume human and elven arrows, drain the allies' stamina, find a safe route to travel, and then let the intrepid Amani warriors harvest the exhausted soft-footed shrimp.

Zujin felt that his strategy was flawed.

"King Zujin, when will the orcs play, the Great Chief wants me to respect your opinion more."

Coramar, the overseer of the orc army that had crossed the sea to land in Hinterland and then crossed the mountains to Quel'Thalas, sat on the sidelines as a troll, thinking it was the etiquette of the trolls.

"Brave warriors, thank our mutual friend Orgrim for his wisdom and the privilege of us to fight side by side here. I have no intention of belittling you, for the fact that you have climbed the mountains of Hinterland in such a short time has proven that you are all mighty warriors. But you have come from afar, and you need to rest, so let those servants drain the physical morale of the elves and humans first, and we will sit and wait. ”

Zujin didn't know what it was like for Collamar to be half-squatting and half-sitting, could it be the special etiquette of orcs?

Out of respect for Orgrim and recognition of the orc's prowess, Zukin felt that perhaps he should take care of the orc's feelings. So Zujin raised his ass a little higher and squatted like a zama.

"What you say makes a lot of sense, then I'll wait and see, King Zujin, just let us know when you need us, Zorgesh, squat, you impolite fellow!"

Coramar was really tired from squatting, and he was afraid of losing the face of the orc, so he found fault for no reason, stood up and kicked his lieutenant's buttocks, took the opportunity to walk a few steps and move his feet, and then squatted again.

"I hate this strange etiquette, it's useless except to make our feet tingle."

Under the tyranny of his own overseers, the innocent Zogersh squatted honestly, but he couldn't help but murmur and complain.

"Please don't call me king, Zujin is just the Zujin that all the Amani trolls expect, Zujin is just the leader of all the people of Zu Aman, Zujin never thinks he is qualified to be a king."

Saying this in his mouth, Zu Jin thought in his heart that it is indeed true, the etiquette of orcs is really weird, as a troll, I am very tired of squatting like this, you orcs are sweating out, aren't you tired? Or does the more I sweat, the more respect I have?

Then let's just squat for a while, Zu Jin felt that he had to squat for at least half an hour before he could sweat.

"Hehehe, okay, Grand Commander Zujin."

Zhama's cold sweat flowed and his face was red-faced, and he chose a nondescript title.

"Malakas, when will your potion take effect?" Zujin turned his head and asked his high-ranking priest.

As a high-ranking priest who once studied in the Zandalar tribe, Malakas is not only proficient in voodoo and witchcraft, but also quite accomplished in pharmacy, and is the most confidant of Zujin, and has won Zujin's trust.

"Zu Jin, the fatigue potion needs a certain amount of time to brew, wait until those forest spirits turn into a burnt yellow color, and that's it."

Malakas confidently responded to Zukin.

That's right, drinking it is a stimulant, a post-decay fatigue potion, and using the self-detonation of the forest spirit after its death, Malakas has prepared a special gift for his enemies. (To be continued......)
