Chapter 242: The Tribe's Landing Battle
The Hillsbrad area is known for its complex topography and rolling hills that can be a headache for any traveler.
The Coalition forces had crossed the hills, and had laid out defensive lines on this side.
The town of Southsea, the largest outlet to the sea in the entire Hillsbrad area, has now become the Union's military command center...... Uther - Lightbringer, stationed here as a commander.
This pious and impartial paladin has been recognized by almost all of his colleagues. His light, his courage, and his wisdom as a commander have been on full display during the past year of war.
At the mercy of King Terenus, Uther was unusually promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of the Alliance, where he held a high position.
But that's all four years into the Dark Gate, and now it's the five years of the Dark Gate's war......
Uther looked up into the distance, and saw the ships of the tribes, watching over the endless sea; The huge ships, made of ferrous metal, were sliding entirely by the oars of the laborers......
"It's a pity that Kurtiras's fleet is gone!" The paladin frowned and muttered to himself.
If that fleet were still around, the ships of these tribes would not be so arrogant......
……
"They're almost on the shore!" Aurelia Windranger whispered, her sharp eyes looking farther than normal humans.
"Yes, we're going to ......," Tulayan on one side was about to speak, but was interrupted by another voice.
It was another female ranger next to Aurelia who spoke.
"Their number, it seems to be a lot......" Sylvanas-Windranger's voice seemed a little unnatural, "I feel like there are at least a hundred ships at the front!" ”
"Yes...... The number of the tribe is at least several times that of us, and it may be more than a dozen times! Aurelia frowned, "Looks like it's going to be another tough fight......"
"Not necessarily!" Tulayan finally found an opportunity to interject: "Lord Lothar's order is ......"
"Lord Lothar has called us defenders, ready to withdraw from Nanhai Town at any time!" A loud grinning voice sounded from behind Tulayan.
The poor paladin, interrupted again in the middle of his sentence, said weakly, "Muradin......"
"Hello, Tulayan!" Muradin-Copperbeard blinked and continued, "However, the specific situation will have to wait for the battle situation on other battlefields, and we need to block several waves of the tribe's attacks first!" ”
"Other battles?" Aurelia frowned, not knowing what the other party meant.
"Don't look at me, I don't know!" Muradin shrugged.
"All ready to fight!" A majestic voice sounded behind the position, a tall paladin: "The tribe is almost docked...... Tulayan, why are you here? ”
"I'm sorry, Saidan ......" Tulayan pouted: "I'll return to my position right away......"
……
The landing ship of the Horde is already very close to the Alliance's position in the town of Nanhai.
But before that, everyone on the battlefield heard voices from the north.
It was as if something was exploding, as if it were some powerful magic, and the sky seemed to be dyed pale blue......
"That's?" Aurelia asked in a low voice, "It seems to be...... Is it in the direction of Dalaran? ”
Aurelia's face was a little worried.
"Looks like this is the so-called 'other battle situation'!" There was a sneer at the corner of Sylvanas's mouth: "Okay sister, our battle is about to start!" ”
The first ships of the tribe had already docked, and many black figures were gathered on one side, stepping on the rocky beach, and then moving towards the hills......
However, these heavily armed orcs did not hold out for long, and countless arrows rained down from various hills, covering the entire beach of Nanhai Town in an instant......
"They're ashore, fight back!" Uther raised his hammer, and the brilliant light enveloped him, inspiring every Alliance warrior around him.
One after another, the corpses of Alliance warriors fell to the ground, but they also killed more orcs. But at the same time, more orcs continued to pour onto the beach.
……
"It's like they can't finish killing!" Aurelia reached for the quiver behind her, and suddenly found that it was empty.
She actually used up all the feather arrows, which was unbelievable before......
"Use mine!" A quiver that was still half left was thrown in front of Aurelia, and Sylvanas said lightly, "Save it." ”
"Thank you!" Aurelia picks up the quiver, then pulls out a feathered arrow and re-aims it at an orc who has washed up on the beach.
"We have too few defenders!" While attacking, Aurelia said with some concern: "I doubt how long this beach will last......
"Then prepare to retreat." Sylvanas on the side said.
"Retreat?" Aurelia frowned.
"Because Marshal Lothar doesn't seem to be ready to completely shut out these orcs!" Sylvanas said with a smile.
As soon as the Ranger General's voice fell, the horn signaling "retreat" had already sounded from the rear.
……
The orcs cheered on the beach, and the human harbor was now filled with tribal flags.
Not long ago, it belonged to the command post of the humans, but now it is a tribe...... However, there was no excitement on Orgrim's face.
The armies of these alliances held out for at least a few hours, but they retreated ahead of schedule...... This is not normal.
However, this was not what Lothar was most worried about, he was more worried about whether the Red Dragon Knights sent to Dalaran had achieved the expected battle situation.
"Great Chief!" Walok-Sarufar walked into the command post and said with a solemn face: "Those human garrisons did not retreat, but after retreating a certain distance, they regrouped their defensive lines......"
Hillsbrad is full of hills, and there are dangerous fortifications everywhere...... If the Horde wants to advance on this side, it will not be easy if it does not completely defeat the defenders of the Alliance.
"Looks like they're trying to drag us here?" Orgrim said in a deep voice, and he suddenly had another ominous premonition in his heart.
"Great Chief, the Overseers of Zairah are back...... one of the scouts shouted outside the door.
"Quick, bring her in...... No, I'm out! Orgrim said hurriedly.
The Dragonmaw Overseer, Zaire, is now covered in blood and needs the support of two orc warriors to barely get to her feet.
"How's the battle going in Dalaran?" Orgrim asked hurriedly.
"Sorry, Great Chief......" Zaira's voice was very weak: "We lost...... The dragon's throat was almost completely wiped out......"
This sentence suddenly made Orgrimmar's heart sink to the bottom.
