Chapter 51: To Alterac
The fifth watch is over, and today I made up for all the updates I owed. Finally, I can confidently ask for recommendations, rewards, and collections, haha.
Less than a day after returning to Silvermoon City from the Western Temple, the orcs began to officially attack Silvermoon City. A large number of orc soldiers passed through the Eternal Song Forest, burning the flames of battle to the walls of Silvermoon City.
The makeshift arcane barrier erected by the arcanists stopped the orc soldiers from marching, but it didn't stop the orcs from pouring out their anger on the city.
After the orc soldiers themselves drank the blood of the demons, as soon as they entered the battlefield, they were like hungry tigers that had licked the smell of blood, wantonly venting their anger with their giant axes.
In the large-scale attack, Rollin accompanied his mentor and stood on the defensive walls of Silvermoon City, using powerful arcane magic to tear apart these green skins who wanted to enter Silvermoon City.
Boulders thrown by the tribe's catapults and a handful of red flaming dragons appeared above the Eternal Song Forest, and they used as a long-range means of attack, pulling the elves' defenses as hard as they could.
The battle lasted for a long time, and after six hours, the tribe was still on the offensive. The number of orcs is simply too large, and they have the capital to consume. But the elves are different, the elven army is scarce, and they cannot be continuously consumed with the horde, even if they have a large number of mages and magisters. Soon, Silvermoon City's defenses became weak.
Still, six hours of defense was enough. The Alliance's armies began to appear in the Shadowlands, fighting the orc armies behind the Eternal Song Forest.
Something else that the elves didn't expect came, the appearance of the alliance army, and the soldiers of the tribe immediately gave up attacking Silvermoon City. Their army retreated quickly and orderly in an orderly manner, and in less than an hour, there was no longer a shadow of an orc soldier in the Yongge Forest in front of Silvermoon City.
Sanorian didn't pursue the horde, and the elven army didn't have the ability to pursue the orcs. But he still sent the Dragon Eagle Knight to assist the Alliance's army against the orc horde.
Of course, in such a battle situation, Rollin was naturally indispensable, and he and Aurelia stepped on the Dragon Eagle together and quickly went to the Dark Lands.
Looking at the orcs retreating from the order of the Yongge Forest, Luo Lin faintly felt that these orcs were repeating their old tricks.
With the help of the Alliance's army to help Silvermoon City, they quickly moved south to attack the human kingdom.
The route of their withdrawal was clear, it was not like the retreat of the tribe after the defeat, they were more like they were carrying out the previous plan.
Sure enough, after Aurelia and Rollin entered the Dark Lands, the army fighting against the Human Alliance was only a part of the orcs. The rest of the orc soldiers had bypassed the rush of the Alliance soldiers, and they made a sharp turn, once again heading in the direction of the northern lands of Lordaeron.
The Dragon Eagle Knight is used as reinforcements, and the Alliance ally, the Hammer Dwarf's Griffin Knight, is an attack force in the sky, attacking the orc army fighting against the Alliance army.
However, the orc commander who led this army was Itreig, an army of 6,000 orcs who had never been in a head-to-head battle with the Alliance's armies. They intercepted this rushing army in the Dark Place, and successfully retreated the Horde army to the north of Lordaeron.
This time and again, nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Human Alliance were re-involved in the rear of the tribe. In such a situation, Lordaeron, the capital of the human kingdom, is at his fingertips.
Orgrim and Itreg have a long-term perspective, and their plans are on track.
After fighting and retreating, with 1,000 orc warriors killed, Itregg's army also left the Dark Lands.
Three days later, all the armies of the Horde left the kingdom of the elves.
With plenty of food, resources, and a great battle plan, they rushed to the Alterac Mountains.
During this period, they even abandoned the granary of the kingdom of Lordaeron and the Andohar generation, in order to quickly and directly attack Lordaeron, the capital of the human kingdom.
This is the core of the alliance, and the tribe chooses the best opportunity to fight, and also plans a battle plan that is impossible to fail.
"The information sent back by the scouts confirms your thoughts, Master Mage. They are marching on Alterac. Tulayan said with a solemn face.
"Let Lord Kudran bring this message back to Lordaeron, but in the meantime I need two griffons, and I'm going to Alterac." Rollin pleaded.
Originally, Rollin wanted to use the Dragon Eagle, but the Dragon Eagle was not well suited to the towering mountains of Alterac. Accustomed to living in the warmth of Quel'Salas, the dragon eagle is not used to the bitter cold temperatures.
Tirio asked curiously, "Your Excellency, you are going to scout the route of the orcs' march, this is completely unnecessary, we have trained scouts to carry it out." ”
Rollin didn't want to explain too much, but he knew that in the land of Alterac, there would be events that would be unacceptable to the Alliance.
"Sort of, but you don't need to ask too much." Rollin said.
Kudran was generous, and he lent the griffon to Rollin, and they set off together. The closest distance from Andorjar to Lordaeron is across Alterac.
After a full day of flying, Kudran Rollin and Aurelia crossed the skies over the orc horde. They had to cross the mountain range faster than the orc tribes.
Aurelia was curious, she didn't understand why Rollin had traveled to this towering mountain.
"Now you should tell me, why are we here?" There was snow on the towering mountains, and Aurelia spoke somewhat staccato in the thin air.
In fact, Rollin came here to find a human messenger to deliver a message. Rollin clearly remembers that in the southern part of the Alterac Mountains, Perinord would betray the Alliance in this battle. And this messenger who delivers the message to the tribe is the key.
"Do you believe that magicians can use divination spells? That is, I can foresee the future. Rollin said.
Of course, such a school of magic exists. The astral mage Medivan is very good at such spells. But Rollin won't, Rollin is just trying to find a specific and suitable reason for his prediction.
Aurelia nodded and said, "Of course I do, but you'll tell me what you've encountered." ”
"I'm not sure yet, but keep moving and we'll find something extra." Rollin said, pointing to the rear of the Alterac Mountains.
"Isn't this the kingdom of Alterac?" Aurelia had seen the map of the human kingdom, and she knew what it was.
Rollin nodded and said, "That's right, our destination is here." ”
Aurelia looked at Rollin's confident face, she didn't want to ask, choosing to believe him at this time was her best support for him.
