Chapter 162: The Decisive Battle on the Highlands (1)
The difference in strength made Xie Feng unable to have the slightest reservation, and the arcane control triggered by all his efforts made the room instantly filled with arcane elements, but Xie Feng, as the initiator, had no time to be distracted and guided, and soon set off a small elemental storm, involving everyone in the hall.
The people who were inconvenient to make a move because of their scruples could no longer sit still at this time. Now that the two of them are no longer fighting for will, if they are persecuted, with Xie Feng's state, he is very willing to launch an attack and fight to the death, and it will not end well
When the arcane surge was about to reach a critical point, King Qi Niu was the first to stand by Xie Feng's side and help Xie Feng, who was already at the end of the crossbow, disperse the pressure from Dasalia. Then the two orcs and Asker came over and shot at the same time, forcibly separating the three of them~~ Xie Feng and Qi Niu Wang were not strong, and there was no way to resist the two orcs at all, but Dasalia was already a little regretful, and when he saw Asker and others coming out to stop it, he also accepted it when he saw it and retreated.
was so troubled by the two of them, and the atmosphere in the room was also a little embarrassing. Commander Rutherford of the Polluter opened his mouth to play a round and asked Xie Feng, "General Alex, is there any implication in your statement that it is a wise decision to reserve ambushes?" β
Xie Feng didn't look at Rutherford either, with a gloomy face, he looked at Dasalia and replied coldly:
"Those gunners who appeared at the last stop in the Valley of Refuge are not members of the Ninth Legion at all, and those dwarves are not the Copperbeard Clan!"
"They are the Hammer Dwarves of Hinterland's Eagle's Nest! Now that they are embroiled in this strife, there is no reason not to participate in the final showdown! If Tarummere's reinforcements were fighting Fort Riptide and the Ninth Legion under the walls of Soradin, and they suddenly burst out of the Garakent Valley, what would happen to the blind? β
When everyone heard the news, they were shocked. Originally, it was thought that the reinforcements of the blind would have an overwhelming advantage in this battle, but once the Hammer Dwarves entered the battle, the forces of the alliance would definitely be defeated even if they faced each other head-on, which was the reason for the initial defeat of the Ninth Legion and Riptide Castle. In its heyday, the concern was the safety of the blind
Dasalia was also shocked at this time, if he really insisted on suggesting that the blind withdraw the ambush and go all out to participate in the battle, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable!
Without waiting for everyone to speak, Xie Feng then struck: "You'd better advise the blind to leave more ambushes!" It is difficult for a few to stop the elite Hammer Dwarves. And the dwarven camp in Dangalok is no less to be taken lightly! β
Although Dasalia also understood Xie Feng's concerns, he still sneered and retorted: "How many people can there be in Dangalok? About half of them were killed by you, and the rest of them couldn't make any big waves at all! β
"What's the matter?" Xie Feng sneered and didn't give in: "There aren't many people in Dangalok, so what about the alliance sailors in Nanhai Town?" They have little combat effectiveness, but as sailors, they can always do it with artillery bombardment. β
"Any tiny detail in Armageddon can affect the final victory, who would dare to ignore this force easily?"
Dasalia was silent, she really didn't count the group of sailors who didn't have much combat power on land
Seeing that the atmosphere was awkward, Rutherford said to Dasalia: "Go and discuss with the blind, report what General Alex said to the blind truthfully, and let him make his own decisions on how to deal with the alliance!" β
Delluck also got up and walked over~"I'll go too, and talk to the blind by the way~~" As he spoke, he pulled the gloomy Dasalia out
When the two of them left, Rutherford suddenly sighed and explained to Xie Feng and Qi Niu Wang with a slight apology: "The anger of revenge has made her lose her due reason, so I hope you don't mind." β
The two were silent for a while, and Xie Feng asked, "Is it the Ninth Legion?" β
"It's them!" Rutherford nodded a little gloomily: "This time their raid was too hidden, and the Riptide Castle side also cooperated fully at any cost, and finally made us all lose our minds, but by the time we found out that something was wrong, we had fallen into their ambush and were sadly pressed in Dabire's farm."
"It was in that battle that the Supreme Commander of the Polluter Legion fought desperately to break through and lead a handful of soldiers to break off, allowing us to escape back here." Then he smiled self-deprecatingly: "I, the commander, am just taking her place."
Xie Feng and King Qi Niu glanced at each other and asked, "Who is the commander?" Is there anything between them? β
Rutherford: "You know, there are many of us who are forsaken who don't want to mention their names. We don't know her real name, but we all call her the Black Bride because she woke up wearing a wedding dress that had been stained black and purple with blood."
Dasalia woke up with her, and the relationship has always been very good, and some people even say that they were a pair of sisters when they were alive. That's why she's so directed at the Ninth Legion."
Xie Feng and Qi Niu Wang were silent. They also finally understood why Dasalia was so eager to lead his army into the high ground and desperate to burn the Alliance's supplies
Now that he has figured out the reason for the matter, although he is depressed and does not care about it, he can only vent his anger on the group of culprits of the alliance.
After a moment of silence, Xie Feng got up and said, "Go out and prepare, and talk about everything when it's over!" β
The others nodded, got up and rushed out.
After two hours of busyness, and as soon as the sun had set, the troops were ready, carrying the necessary supplies, putting the wounded on stretchers or some other rudimentary tools, and assembling on the outskirts of Falling Hammer Town.
There were more than 4,000 people in total, including more than 3,000 orcs, about 1,500 of the forsaken, and the rest were adventurers and blood elves led by Qi Niu Wang and Xie Feng. Both sides were weak, and the two leaders had a good relationship, so they simply merged together, and together with the wounded, they barely managed to make up a number of two hundred and fifty people.
After the assembly was completed, Xie Feng handed over the soldiers to Serin to carry with him, and he came to the front with King Qi Niu under the escort of ten blood knights, and advanced with several other commanders.
Everything was ready, Xie Feng spoke: "Which way to go?" β
Gormore: "So many of us are too big to be noticed by the league"
Rutherford said, "Go around the foot of the northern hills!" It wasn't long before the fire had subsided, and the chances of us being spotted were much smaller. β
Xie Feng nodded: "I asked the rangers to patrol first, and strive not to let the alliance scouts discover our whereabouts!" β
After a brief discussion, it was decided that the rangers would take the lead to patrol ahead, followed by Gomur leading a group of orc warriors to clear the way, and everyone would walk at the end with a large army.
The army moved slowly and did not go far, and Dasalia, who had not been seen, reappeared, bringing with him information about the Talumir reinforcements and the movements of the alliance. Almost at the same time as the Hammer Town departed, the Blind also poured out with the army of the Forsaken assembled in Tarummere and marched towards the highlands, and the Ninth Legion in the Valley of Refuge also marched in the direction of Fort Riptide In addition, the Stoneken ogres, who had won a great victory two days ago, also assembled in the Stoneken Hall again, and their intentions are unknown for the time being. However, the number of them is much lower than it was two days ago
Although everyone was puzzled by the ogre's movements, they were already ready to send out at this time, and the big battle was imminent, and there was no room for a new arrangement, so they could only increase their vigilance and advance to the Valley of Refuge while sending more undead scouts to take advantage of the night to investigate all aspects of information.
After walking for about an hour, Vorelle, who had been leading the team in front of the patrol, suddenly rushed back and reported to Xie Feng:
"My lord! We spotted a small group of humans in front of us, heading towards us along the foot of the mountain! β
Xie Feng was stunned: "Is it an alliance?" Ninth Legion or Allied AraΓ§o? How many people are there? β
Volel: "There are about two hundred of them, most of them are thieves and warriors, and although their strength is not bad, there is no discipline at all, unlike the alliance between Riptide Castle and the Ninth Legion. It's supposed to be a syndicate thief! β
"Syndicate?" Xie Feng frowned, and muttered to himself, "How could they appear here?" β
Then he asked Vorell, "Did you find you?" β
"No," Vorell affirmed, "it was Cynthia who found them, and then let us go into hiding, and go up to investigate by ourselves." The other party will never find out! β
"That's good!" Xie Feng nodded, turned to everyone, and said, "What to do with them?" β
Anyway, it's a small group of rabble, any side here can easily wipe them out, and they have been discovered by the rangers until now, and they don't even have a chance to escape, Xie Feng didn't take them to heart at all, and directly asked what to do~~ Gormore thought about it when he heard this, and said: "These syndicates may have come from Riptide Castle, maybe you can catch them and ask something~~"
Rutherford also nodded, "Not bad!" Although the strength of this group of thieves is weak, their intelligence ability is indeed not weak, and they may be able to ask about some alliances~~ But we can't let one go, otherwise we are likely to be exposed! β
Xie Feng: "Let's wait here for a while, let the Forsaken thieves attack, and the rangers keep watch on the perimeter, we should be able to control them all~~" As he spoke, he looked at Dasalia next to him.
The most elite formed thief unit among the people present was the undead sentinels brought by Dasalia from Tarummir, although the polluters and orcs also had them, but their strength was still a little worse, so it was safer to let these undead sentinels attack. And to dispatch these people, it takes Dasalia to nod.
Seeing Xie Feng coming over, Dasalia didn't give him any more looks, nodded slightly, and called out a seventh-order thief to give a few orders, asking him to take his subordinates and Volel to encircle and suppress the Syndicate.
Others halted the army for a moment, waiting for news from Volell
