It has been more than a week since the panda wine fairy and the dwarf adventurer "forcibly demolished" the tavern of Old Tang.

In the end, Don still didn't let the two heroic masters pay financial compensation for the tavern. After all, they are two masters who are worth befriending and Lao Tang's favorite characters, leaving a bad impression on a few people for a little money, and even making the relationship stiff, this kind of brainless thing Lao Tang will not do.

In contrast, if you can use a tavern worth a few thousand gold coins to establish a friendship with three heroic masters, and leave a good impression on each other, it is really cost-effective to take a pen and trade! If that's the case, there will be a next time, and Don really doesn't mind smashing a few more taverns...... Especially at this critical moment when the battle of seamounts is about to begin.

However, even if Old Tang's "generous" behavior greatly increased the favorability of several "perpetrators", the Panda Brewmaster Storm Spirits * Chen, the dwarf archaeologist Brian Copperbeard, and even the Beastmaster Lexa are still a little sorry. And after learning about the Burning Legion's invasion of the continent of Kalimdor and the ins and outs of the upcoming Battle of Seamounts, several people decided to join the war without saying a word and contribute their strength to the creatures of this world!

Ryxa, the Beastmaster, returns to Durontar with Hellroar to meet the new Horde's Grand Chieftain, Thrall. After all, as a member of the tribe, it is also a relief for Lexa to be able to see the tribe again one day, not to mention that there are many brothers and old comrades-in-arms who have fought side by side with him there. It is worth mentioning that Thrall finally rebranded the nameless red wasteland after landing in Kalimdor as his father;

The dwarven explorer Brian Copperbeard, who had originally planned to survey a suspected ancient ruin somewhere in Mogore, has now lost his mind about archaeology, and has not said anything about driving Seramo to take care of his compatriots who have landed in Kalimdor with Gianna;

As for the Panda Brewmaster Storm Spirits*, because he felt guilty about the destruction of the tavern, and because he had a good impression of the peaceful and hospitable Minotaur clan, he offered to stay and help the old man Gundrew train the fighting skills of the soldiers of the Dragon Wrestling Legion. The big pie that fell from the sky made Old Tang snicker.

There is no doubt that if there is any race or class in Azeroth that has the highest martial arts and fighting skills, it must be the Pandaren warrior monks who have been practicing martial arts since childhood! And as an advanced profession for warrior monks. The hero-level Panda Brewmaster is definitely a master of martial arts! Even if Hell Roar is only compared to the subtlety of the moves and the fighting skills, I'm afraid it will be slightly inferior!

With Lao Chen's sincere guidance, with the burly physique and fierce strength of the Minotaur, and the ability to absorb the fighting skills of the Panda Man, even if it is only a part of the legion soldiers, their strength and combat effectiveness are expected to improve again! And in the end, the entire Shuharu family is undoubtedly gained! How can this not let Old Tang have nothing to do and steal fun?

However, Lao Tang suspects that the real reason for the Panda Wine Fairy's willingness to stay is because Lao Tang promised to provide Lao Chen with a sufficient amount of various fine wines for free every day......

In any case, being able to get three strong reinforcements again before the Battle of Haishan strengthened the high-end force. This is good news for the entire coalition forces.

However, blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.

While there was good news for the coalition forces, there was also a lot of bad news.

For example, another hybrid force of demons and undead appeared in the Felwood Forest, and the entire forest began to corrode in patches for unknown reasons...... For example, there was a large-scale movement of the demon forces in Ashen Valley, attacking the headquarters and outposts of the coalition forces in Ashen Valley on all fronts...... In the past, the quiet and deep gray valley is now in most of the area with fire all day long.

The Burning Legion's forces that have landed in Kalimdor in various ways are increasing, demons, undead, and ...... The strange "killing machine qì" is no longer the lineup of two or three kittens in the original vanguard. Azhara, Ashenvale, and Felwood Forest are the focus areas of the Burning Legion's recent attacks, especially the Ashvale Demons, which have lost their commander's suppression.

The demons and undead who had lost Manolos' suppression one by one had fallen into madness, or rather regained their nature. Kill or be killed. The unscrupulous Burning Legion's Ash Valley Department launched an almost rampant attack on the coalition defense line.

Under the strong pressure of demons and undead, both the night elves with deep roots and the tough and brave orcs had to withdraw from those front-line posts with weak strength, and concentrate their forces to stand by the Burning Legion, which had gone crazy by their cards that did not follow common sense.

Under the premise that the coalition forces are shrinking their defensive lines and focusing on sticking to them, the gray valley, which originally symbolized tranquility, has now fallen for the most part. The entire area is supported by the Night Elves in Astrana, an important town in Ashen Valley, and the Warsong Canyon camp where the Orcs are stationed. No other resistance or garrison positions can be found.

At this moment, in the headquarters of Astrana City, Old Don, Garrod Shadowsong, Duke Leorik, and King Sarufar were surrounding the map of North Kalimdor on the conference table, frowning and pondering.

"What is the Burning Legion trying to do?" Duke Leoric, the commander of the Seventh Legion, rubbed his temples that were aching from overwork, stared at the black arrows representing the demon troops on the map, and said to himself: "One sword in the east, one sword in the west, not even a key attack area!" What kind of tactic is this? It's a mess without a bit of discipline! ”

"This is the devil. Job! Patting the paladin on the shoulder, King Sarufar gave a rare humor, showed a mocking smile and said, "If even the demons that represent chaos and evil can be in order, then it is to see the undead!" ”

Although King Sarufar has countless titles in the human kingdom such as "butcher, executioner, and evil", which represent hatred and hatred, after the establishment of the alliance, after many days of getting along, King Sarufar and Duke Leorik, two veteran generals who have fought on the battlefield for half their lives, put aside the hatred between races, and also sympathize with each other. When discussing tactics and strategies together. The atmosphere has also eased considerably, rather than-for-tat.

"But it's not surprising that the demons are attacking in chaos, in fact, I don't think these demons have strange tactics, but they don't have tactics at all!" But when it comes to getting down to business. King Sarufar was also grim. Tell me about my analysis:

"Abyss Lord Manolos was originally supposed to be the commander of this group of demon troops, but this demon leader is now gone, so naturally he can't continue to command his troops."

"And without the suppression of Manolos, a powerful demon leader, the chaotic and bloodthirsty nature of the demon will naturally be revealed, there should be no conspiracy behind the Burning Legion's offensive in the entire Ash Valley in a state of chaos and disorder, at least until Akmund reassigns a demon commander of sufficient weight, as long as we hold the two strongholds of Astrana and Warsong Canyon, the demon army of Ash Valley will not have to worry!"

King Sarufar's analysis is very accurate and goes straight to the source. looked around at the three of Lao Tang who couldn't help but nod in agreement. Salfar directly made a surprise and said what he thought in his chest:

"The question now is whether we are going to stick to the old plan and stall for time. Or just take advantage of the favorable opportunity when the Burning Legion that landed in Ash Valley is now chaotic and has no command, give this group of scum a ruthless blow, mobilize all the strength and now eat all the demons and undead in this part! ”

King Sarufar's words made the faces of the other three people in the command post change slightly, and they were all different. Orcs are naturally offensive by nature, and this strategy of defending and attacking is also in line with the tribe's long-standing belief that "offense is the best defense".

Hearing King Sarufar's opinion, Old Tang raised his eyebrows. Nod in agreement.

Old Tang is also a tough guy in his bones. He prefers to take the initiative in the battle, and is undoubtedly more inclined to take the initiative to attack than passive defense! The initiative in war is always in the hands of the attacking side!

What's more, as King Sarufar said, the demons and the undead who have lost the rulership of Manolos are nothing more than a mess. Even if the Burning Legion has a huge force but does not command effectively, these demons who do things based on their preferences and killing nature are not worried at all!

No matter how strong the demon's individual combat power is, it is just a group of chaotic stragglers...... The "motley army", which only knows that it is brave and ruthless, but has no organization and discipline, has absolutely no chance of winning against the elite of the coalition forces under the unified command. And the undead troops that brought the Burning Legion an absolute numerical superiority, today's old Tang no longer cares about it at all. Don't forget that the Minotaurs have always been experts at group fighting!

Against the tactics of the Sea of the Undead, is there anyone who has more experience and a chance of winning than Shuharu now?

"I think it's okay, I support Varok's Tiyì!" Old Tang was the first to speak out in favor of King Sarufar's plan, "This vacuum period under the command of the Demon Army of the Gray Valley is a rare opportunity for us, we must seize it!" We must take the opportunity to inflict as much damage as possible on the Burning Legion in Ashenvale. In order to grasp the initiative again! ”

"Wouldn't it be too aggressive, Sarufen? Mount Hyjal is where we will fight the Burning Legion...... If there are too many casualties due to the extermination of these demons, I am afraid that it will not be good for the decisive battle! ”

Duke Leorik groaned and expressed his opinion with some hesitation.

Orcs are good at attacking, humans are good at defending!

As a veteran paladin, although Duke Leorik has never lacked the courage to face strong enemies and fight tenaciously, he is strict and rigid, and he is more inclined to fight steadily and steadily than to attack and attack. King Salfar's mention of yì is justified though. The success rate is not low, but the Paladin Marshal, who has always been based on stability, is still not very optimistic and is always a little worried.

"This battle, we must fight!"

The Supreme Commander of the Coalition Army, Garrod Shadowsong, who had been silent all the time, staring closely at the combat map. After the three of them expressed their opinions, they finally spoke categorically.

As early as the first meeting of the alliance, Garrod *Yingge, who was elected as the supreme commander, prepared to establish a supreme command, and invited three high-ranking and experienced generals from the major races of the coalition army as deputy commanders to discuss the various tactics of the Battle of Haishan together, deploy the elite troops of various races to complement each other's advantages, and deduce the battle situation with several people.

And Old Tang, King Sarufar, and Duke Leorik are these three deputy commanders.

This is the main reason why these four are now gathered in Astrana......

"This is the best opportunity and the only opportunity to weaken the Burning Legion before the decisive battle, and we must not miss it!" Raising his head with a resolute face, Garrod Shadow Song glanced at the three of them and said in an unquestioning tone, "We have to fight this battle, and we have to win beautifully!" ”

"First, it will boost the morale of the coalition forces and increase the confidence of victory for the soldiers!"

"The second is to weaken the strength of the Burning Legion and annihilate the new forces of demons and undead. Reduce the pressure we will face during the Battle of Seamount, otherwise if the Burning Legion completes the unification of forces under the pressure of Akmund in the decisive battle, our casualties will be unbearable! ”

"Third...... Buy time for the final completion of the three defensive lines being built on the Holy Mountain of Hyjal! ”

Garrod *Yingge, who was dressed in a military uniform, slowly raised three fingers, and listed the reasons why he had to take the initiative to attack one by one.

"The Burning Legion won't give us a chance to repair, they'll be here soon. Our strategic depth is insufficient, the guerrilla mode of fighting cannot delay them for much time, and the mere defense will lose the initiative. It wasn't enough to slow down the Burning Legion desperately trying to advance against Mount Hyjal. It is necessary to rely on the geographical environment to prevent them from retreating after a period of time, and to buy enough time for our compatriots who are building defensive lines. ”

After the detailed analysis of the situation of the enemy and the enemy, even the Duke of Leoric, who had been a little hesitant before, nodded in agreement, and no longer hesitated to support the strategy of taking the initiative. However, Garrod *Shadow Song, who had a stern face before, suddenly showed a smile and winked at everyone.

"As for the fourth......" Garrod quipped again, holding up a finger again, as if jokingly; Since the Burning Legion has offered us such a big cake, we must eat it! Anyway, there is no danger of breaking teeth and eating bloated stomachs, and if we don't eat these demon armies that are ravaging the Gray Valley, wouldn't we not give Akmund face? Anyway, he is also a super master who doesn't know how many planes he has destroyed. We have to give this little face~~~"

The originally solemn atmosphere in the command post was relaxed, and both humans, orcs, and minotaurs all showed knowing smiles. The coalition forces took the initiative to counterattack for the first time, and the plan to encroach on the enemy forces in Ash Valley was thus decided.

As for the next good show, the curtain has been slowly opened and is about to be staged...... Two days after the operational meeting.

On the south bank of the Faren River, Old Tang, who acted as the "bait", and a group of Minotaur warriors clenched their weapons and met the next death battle with a resolute face.

The strategy to destroy the Burning Legion's Ashenvale Division is running at full speed.

After the meeting, several commanders, including Lao Tang, had already taken command of their troops. Pick up the task. And the task that Old Tang and the Minotaur warriors took the initiative to apply for was to serve as a "bait" to attract the siege of the Burning Legion and create killing opportunities for several other encirclement and suppression troops!

And on the north bank of the Faeron River, the violent flames seemed so terrifying in the night that in the distance, large clouds of smoke could be seen rising sharply, in the shape of teeth and claws.

As the fire expanded. The dense forest was already red, yellow, and green, and the terrifying fiery serpents and choking smoke and dust rolled up and down, undulating, and in the process of burning, they were constantly blown into waves of fire rings, and from the front, they smoked the Shuharu warriors who were waiting to wrestle with the dragons!

A large number of Burning Legion demons roared and rushed from the north bank of the Faeron River, arrogantly rushing towards the Minotaur warriors who were arrayed in the valley on the south bank. The black pressure is like a monstrous evil wave formed by the convergence of countless waves, giving people a strong deterrence and huge pressure in a state of fear. Let the world once again see the horror and ferocity of the Burning Legion.

The meteorite-like hellfire fell from the sky, and the huge body like a small mountain and the red-green demonic flames that steamed around it made people feel fear and powerlessness from the bottom of their hearts. Each step left a burning pit in the ground, and with the trembling of the earth, the arrogant charge was launched against the Minotaur army array.

Various kinds of demons intertwined their teeth as they slammed, and it looked like thousands of beasts with their fangs baring their fangs wrestling and rolling over each other. impact process. The demons continued to let out strange and piercing roars, turning into waves of countless strange syllables, flooding in all directions, even soaring into the sky, resounding across the battlefield!

And the walking corpse behind the demon legion, which is overwhelming and full of undead natural disasters, can make almost any resistant despair and fear the enemy!

However, there will never be any soldiers on the list of the desperate who wrestle with the dragons!

The demon army of Ash Valley has a total of nearly sixty or seventy thousand demon elites after many replenishments, and those walking corpses all over the mountains are even more innumerable, not to mention hundreds of thousands. And because he acted as the "bait", Lao Tang only personally commanded more than 10,000 Minotaur defense warriors, and under the leadership of Lao Tang, he was fully armed, and once again put on a tight, almost invulnerable copper wall, facing the terrifying army more than ten times their size, the almost crazy desperate impact.

The contrast between the forces of the two sides is very different, and the soldiers of the old Tang and the dragon wrestling army will be surrounded by regiments......

But so what?

On the battlefield, the Shuharu warriors were born surrounded!

The first wave of charging troops of the Burning Legion was already close at hand, and a distant horn sounded first, and immediately, a dull and passionate majestic drum sound echoed, driving the blood of the Minotaur warriors to boil, and the battle spirit was like a tide!

Looking at the approaching army of demons and undead, Old Tang, who was standing in the front row, raised the "Titan Power" war hammer high, and used all his strength to let out a deafening battle roar that resounded throughout the battlefield:

"Power and glory!"

"Blood and thunder!"

An even louder response roared out of the mouth of the Legion's warrior gate, soaring into the sky.

In the next second, the battle begins! (To be continued...... Q
