Chapter Eighty-Six: On the Eve of the Battle of Oakington

"The number of demons is increasing, and my guess is that our plan to besiege Oakington has been discovered by the Legion. From the repeated attacks on the outposts in recent days, it is clear that the demons are gathering, and they are gathering towards us! ”

In the past few days, several outposts in the Teroka Forest have been attacked by demonic forces, and the news has reached the Alliance and Illidan base camps, triggering heated discussions among the top generals of the coalition forces.

"Is this still a guess? Obviously. ”

In the face of the suspicions and speculations of Illidan's subordinates, Ares directly expressed his affirmative opinion.

"But this also proves from one side that our plan is correct, the more the Burning Legion values this place, the more valuable it proves this place."

Ares continued. A satisfied smile could be seen on Illidan's face, they used to be rivals, but they didn't expect that just a few weeks later, they would become "confidant" allies.

"Our master's judgment cannot be wrong."

As soon as Ares finished speaking, Illidan's subordinate Gultug spoke loudly and flatteringly. These remarks and actions immediately caused a wave of disgust among the alliance officers present. The Alliance was not very happy to work with Demon Hunters, and no one wanted to fight alongside the Orcs, especially the Orcs who had drunk the blood of demons, if not for a common goal.

One such product is the Gurtug in front of him, who is covered in thick armor and sits at the conference table like a reckless man, making his own superficial remarks. And Ares also knows that this girl was originally the fourth in the Dark Temple, good at using all kinds of cold weapons, rushing to the front like a butcher when fighting, tearing apart the enemy's body with claws and battle axes. It's just that the **, who was originally pushed down countless times by the foot man, has now become an ally......

"Well, it seems clear, the demons don't want us to destroy the portal in Oakington, which may be an important waypoint for the Burning Legion, so they have gathered from all over the Outlands. So, the question is, the enemy is right in front of us, and now how do we face this force? If we force our siege, the demons will attack our army from the periphery, and the defenders in Oakington will flank us. When the time comes, we will be in a very passive position. ”

The silence was finally broken by Varian, who sat in his seat with his upper body lying on the map, and said in a dull voice. As a king, Varian's mind is more about fighting the Legion as a whole, and although he is a strong warrior in his own right, wars are never won by one person alone, and Varian knows this. He tried to look at the whole picture and find a way to do it.

"You don't have to worry about this, human, I'll let the demon hunters go deep into the forest and hold off those demon armies, and then, you and I will lead the army into the city, the main defense in Oakington is the Shadow Council of the old tribes, and a certain number of demon guards, they seem to be powerful, but in fact they are not as huge as you think. As long as you and I join forces, the coalition forces can capture this ruin in a week. ”

After a moment of silence, Illidan spoke. His voice was so deep, but it could be heard very clearly. A person who has lost his sight must have developed other senses......

"Don't be too confident in your demon hunter, Illidan."

While the Coalition officers were smuggling and thought they could use the opportunity to neutralize Illidare, Ares offered the opposite. Even Varian looked displeased......

"You and I don't know how many demons there are in this forest, and the combined power of them may be something that your demon hunters can handle. You may think that the Alliance will take this opportunity to reduce your forces, but if you think so, you are wrong, since you and I are united, we are one. Sneak attack, yes, we must prevent the devil from sneaking up on us from behind, when we attack that ruin. So my suggestion, so to speak, my request, is that we must leave at least half of our forces behind. ”

Sitting in his place, Ares said earnestly. Illidan could be seen frowning as he began to re-examine his ally, and these days, with each contact, he overturned his previous judgments. Glory? Is this the glory you value? Paladin. Illidan asked himself inwardly. However, he didn't show it, just nodded silently.

Of course, Ares has his own plans for doing so. If Illidan is allowed to be so conceited, then it is likely that the coalition forces that have entered Oakington will really be attacked by that time. First of all, the coalition forces did not know the situation inside the ruins of Oakington, and it was very risky to attack rashly. Secondly, how many demon armies have been assembled in the Terokkar Forest, Ares believes that there must be a lot of them. Illidan is a very powerful character, but he is too conceited, as can be seen from his performance in this life. As long as he was a little more modest and cautious, many of his plans could succeed, but he didn't, he had the courage of Lao Tzu Tianyi, and he didn't accept the fight, and in the end he was really beaten...... In an alliance with him, we must abandon such a habit of arrogance and be cautious, after all, the alliance is deeply involved in foreign wars, and it is difficult to replenish every soldier lost......

"Half? You're being too careful, paladin. With half of our troops, we can't do it quickly. ”

Illidan retorted.

"No, it's not that I'm careful, it's that things aren't going well. In the past few days, the number of guards killed in attacks has continued to rise, and the total number has reached hundreds, and I must be cautious and cautious. Of course, if you feel that it is too wasteful to leave half of your troops to defend, you can also send more troops to attack Oakington, but on the alliance side, there must be more than one legion to defend the perimeter. ”

Ares nodded slightly at Varian. Varian immediately understood, and responded with a look in his eyes......

Illidan gritted his teeth and was displeased, everyone knew that attacking Okington was more dangerous than defending the periphery, since the league unilaterally chose to push cautiously, then, Illidare could not rush in, otherwise, those who were injured at that time would be at the forefront...... And neither side has the power to command the other army...... But Ares is indeed justified and eloquent......

"Okay, okay, I have no right to interfere with your decision, I will leave half of my men behind to help you defend the outside line."

Illidan compromised.

"Thank you for your understanding. But I am not done yet, in order to make the attack proceed in a steady and orderly manner, without outside interference, I propose that the army build a siege network, and use the rich timber resources of the Teroka forest to build a double siege network to surround Oakington, this ruin is not large, and we have sufficient manpower to complete the project in a short time. ”

"Bastard ......"

After Ares finished speaking, Illidan scolded angrily in his heart......
