Chapter 206: Stoned is lost
For the counterattack on the swamp of sorrows, the alliance chose to feint with heavy troops, and then use elite squads to parachute in and sneak attack. As a result, Stormwind ordered the full force of Lakeside and Nightshade to counterattack the Swamp of Sorrows, respectively.
In the Sorrowful Swamp Blood Elf position, the scouts have come to report that a large number of Alliance troops have been spotted in the direction of Red Ridge Mountain, and they are currently hurrying to arrive, and there is a small group of griffons.
When Quelsara received the report, he immediately consulted with the others about what to do. Hawksbill and the Ranger stood on the high ground and looked down on the slowly approaching Union army, all of whom were waiting for the lord's attack order with their bows and arrows.
"Attention brothers, this time we are only defending! If the alliance doesn't move, then we'll stand here and watch the show! Hawksbill commanded.
Red Ridge Mountain, Lakeside Town's army slowly gathered at the intersection of the Sad Swamp. Colonel Tomander rode on a horse, his armor bright.
"Colonel, the army is assembled, whether to attack or not!" Soldiers came to report.
"All obey orders, artillery preparation, aim at the opponent's position, bomb me!" Colonel Tomand ordered.
Then, more than a dozen cannons fired in unison, and the red-hot cannonballs flew towards the blood elf army in the highlands and valleys.
"Artillery, pay attention to concealment!" Selin and Hawksbill hurriedly shouted, but many of the Blood Elf soldiers were still unable to react and were knocked away by the shells.
"Bastard! Is this going to be desperate? Listen to my orders, after the end of the alliance artillery, all rangers, strengthen the arcane arrows, all forty-five degrees projectile! Hawksbill ordered, "Go and report to Selin, let them hold out, and do a good job of concealment!" ”
The first round of the Alliance's artillery was fired, and while they were reloading the gunpowder, the Blood Elf Ranger unleashed arcane arrows. The enhanced version of the Arcane Arrow Rain, after landing, exploded in groups, instantly blasting the Alliance artillery into pieces, and the gunners who couldn't dodge were also turned into powder.
"Knight Charge!" Colonel Tomand shouted loudly, and personally rode his military horse to charge the Blood Elves' position.
In fact, the charge, the infantry followed.
"Attention, the enemy cavalry charges, all draw their swords, ready to fight!" Serin Fireheart shouted loudly, ordering the soldiers to remove the barricades and prepare to meet the Alliance head-on. This was the first battle fought by the Blood Knight since its establishment, and Selin wanted to use it to train his troops.
However, before the Blood Knight could confront the Alliance Knights, he was beaten back by the Alliance Musketeers. Even if the Blood Knight was wearing plate armor, it could not withstand the armor-piercing bullets of the musket.
"How did Selene command this guy!" Hawksbill scolded, "Pick the opposing musketeer and shoot me!" ”
The Alliance's musketeers were shot one by one by the Blood Elf rangers, and the remaining knights were unable to break through the barricades, so the first round of attacks of the Alliance was over.
At this time, on the battlefield of the headwind trail, the attack of Night Town was more violent, but due to the unfavorable terrain, it was still repelled by the orcs.
After five days of fighting back and forth, the alliance still failed to push forward, and the tribe was about to win and successfully gain control of the Swamp of Sorrow. But the great crisis is brewing unconsciously.
On the sixth day, the lakeside town of Chiji Mountain was silently angry with an airship. Inspired by Varian's wedding to Quel'Sala, the airship was developed by Varian when he returned to Stormwind to get rid of the dwarf master craftsmen. Not long ago, the master craftsman announced the success of the development. The Alliance's airships are much better in terms of maneuverability and practicality than the ones made by the goblins.
The airship was carrying five hundred elite soldiers, led by the knight lord Marcus. Marcus, a Paladin Lord at the pinnacle of the Ninth Order, once followed the legendary hero General Tulayan in his fight against the orc invasion, and led an army that won every battle.
Marcus and his soldiers descended from the airship to the Swamp of Sorrows, but the location of their space is not good, this is the Misty Valley of the Swamp of Sorrows! Perennial fog, polar visibility, poisonous insects and beasts everywhere! So, Marcus and they naturally got lost!
Just as Marcus was fighting with poisonous insects and beasts in the Misty Valley with five hundred elite soldiers, the offensive and defensive battles between the two battlefields were still being staged. Both sides were injured, but not so bad.
Although the alliance is strong, the tribe has taken advantage of the territory, so the two sides are still evenly matched.
While the Alliance and the Horde were fighting each other and Quelsala was waiting for victory, Marcus captured an orc in the Misty Hollow. Upon interrogation, Marcus learns that the orc's name is Hegram, and that he has come to the Misty Dales to collect herbs.
Hegram knew the terrain of the Misty Hollow well, so Marcus asked Hegram to lead the way. Hegram didn't dare to disobey alone, so he had to lead the human army out of the Misty Valley, thinking about how to report to Commander Rurg.
Hegram, who follows Ruhrg to the Swamp of Sorrow, collects herbs and the blood of the Lesser Demon to heal his sister Nika's bloodstains. They had a tent at the Broken Spear junction at the exit of the Misty Hollow, where their sister Nika Bloodstain was hiding.
Seeing that he was about to reach the exit of the Misty Valley, Hegram suddenly whistled a few times. The whistle was a signal he got when he and his sister were playing when they were young, and I didn't expect it to come in handy today. Hegram uses the whistle to inform Nika of the bloodstains, and the alliance sneaks up!
"Great Lord, this orc wants to report the news!" The human soldiers discovered Hegram's intentions.
Seeing that the Misty Valley was at its end, Marcus stabbed Hegram in the chest with a wave of his hand, and then led his soldiers to the orc camp of Stonerd.
Nika Bloodstain received the underground whistle warning, supported Kaminaka's body, and rode the wolf to the tribal position at the intersection of the upwind trail, and by the time he arrived at the position, Marcus had already led his men to capture Stoneard and slaughter all the orc soldiers left there.

Upwind trails, orc positions! Rulg took his axe and cut off the head of a human team leader.
"Commander, the Alliance has retreated once again!" The soldier reported.
"Master, it's the first few days today!" Rulge asked the alchemy shaman beside him.
"Commander, it's the sixth day today!" Shaman said.
"Hold out one more day, brethren, and we will be victorious!" Rulge shouted!
"For the Horde! Blood and thunder! The soldiers shouted in agreement.
"Master, you are here, for a while! I'm going for a drink! "Ruerg was about to go down and rest, and the scout came to Ruerg with Nika blood.
"Nika, how did you get here?"
"Commander, the Union soldiers were airborne and attacked Stoneard!" Nika said.
"What?" Ruhrg shouted suspiciously, and then immediately ordered: "Everyone rush to the aid and return to Stoneard!" ”
"Commander! It's too late! The alchemy shaman stopped Rulge and said, "It is estimated that now Stoneard has been lost, if we evacuate now, then we will be attacked by the enemy, and the six-day hold will be ruined!" ”
"So what do you say you should do?" Rulge roared.
"Go ask the blood elves for help, their hero hasn't appeared yet!" Shaman Offer!
Rurg sends scouts to the town of Swamp to ask for help from Quelsala!
