Chapter 277: The Wetland Return Alliance
This morning, another group of soldiers led by Kael'thas also attacked.
They were moving very quickly at first, but in less than two hours they encountered a strong set of resistance.
"A lot of orcs."
Kael'thas and the others stood on the wet grass, looking ahead.
In their area hundreds of meters away, many Alliance soldiers and orcs were fighting, and neither side had much advantage.
"In this case, it seems that the resistance behind it is even greater."
Antonidas looked at the battle in front of him and sighed softly:
"Do we need to step up our offense?"
Kael'thas did not answer Antonidas' words because he found out that a thief had returned.
"What's the situation ahead?"
When the human thief approached, Kael'thas asked him.
"Many, very many orcs."
The thief gasped slightly, saluted, and replied:
"There are many times more orcs ahead than there are here."
Kael'thas groaned.
"They're moving downwards, aren't they?"
He then asked.
"That's right."
The human thief replied.
Kael'thas was stunned and waved the thief down.
"We can't step up the offense."
He turned around and answered Antonidas' question.
"The orcs are retreating?"
Antonidas apparently sensed something, and asked:
"You think we can't stop them?"
From the thief's answer, anyone could also detect that the orc's action was retreating.
After the destruction of the tunnel leading from the wetlands to Danmoro, the orcs had to retreat to Lockadamo. And the line is to the east - where the Twilight Heights are located.
This is also the reason why Kael'thas and they are encountering resistance, in fact, they are gradually approaching the wetlands and the passage of Lockdamor.
"We can't stop it, we are obviously prepared for these orcs."
"The Horde was planning to retreat from the beginning, and they wouldn't let us disturb this kind of operation."
Kael'thas replied to Antonidas' words:
"The strength on our side is definitely not enough."
He reminded.
Antonidas immediately frowned, for Kael'thas was not wrong at all.
Their current ranks could not stop the large forces of the Horde that had made up their minds.
"But Lothar's side"
Antonidas remembered another hidden danger, and he was a little worried that Kael'thas would be blamed if he didn't attack.
"There's no problem with him."
Kael'thas said lightly.
In this case, you can guess how Lothar will think. As long as Kael'thas doesn't retreat, he can contain the tribe on one side and let the main force on the other side be fully utilized.
If Kael'thas had taken the risk, there was no guarantee that the soldiers of these alliances would not be wiped out.
Wipe it all out, and the advantage of Twilight Heights will be gone—the Red Dragon Queen won't help you a few times.
Most importantly
He won't blame me. 】
Kael'thas knew that Lothar would never blame him, and Lothar was showing his sincerity to the king of Silvermoon through Kael'thas, so how could he do something to destroy the city walls?
The outcome of this war is already visible
There is no need for the Alliance to clash head-on with the Alliance for the time being, the most important thing now is to occupy the wetlands.
However, what Kael'thas did not anticipate was how strong the real main force of the alliance was.
After capturing the port of Minahir, the coalition soldiers led by Tulayan only ate a simple lunch and attacked the back of the Sador Bridge.
"The horde is retreating, we need to speed up and eliminate as many orcs as possible!"
While running towards the Sadol Bridge, Tulayan rode his horse and explained to Khadgar:
"After taking the Sadol Bridge, receiving reinforcements from the opposite side, we will push the tribe back to Lokdanmo in one go."
Khadgar also rode his horse and followed the young paladin closely.
"Are you sure such a plan is feasible?"
Puzzled, he asked Tulayan:
"Didn't Lord Lothar tell you to cut off the orcs' defenses directly from west to east?"
"That plan doesn't work now."
Tulayan laughed:
"The orcs are retreating faster than we thought, the main forces have already reached the center, and it would be too risky for us to rush straight over."
"Now it's better to take advantage of the fire and rob and stab a few times from behind."
He then looked in the direction of the middle of the wetland and said:
"I've asked thousands of paladins to delay the retreat of these orcs, and they should have enough orcs left for us."
The Paladin's mobile surname has always been used for raids and diversions, but it is also very suitable for delaying others.
"I just calculated, wipe out the remaining orcs on the Sadol Bridge, and then kill the orcs behind their backs."
"The final result should not be much less than originally planned."
Tulayan slapped the horse's shoulder, causing it to leap over a muddy pit, and continued:
"We'll also be able to reduce a lot of casualties."
He then frowned, and added:
"Of course, we have to hope that the elven prince didn't rush directly"
However, Tulayan thought that the elven prince should not do this.
He felt a little relieved.
"I don't think the elven prince would be so impulsive."
Khadgar smiled:
"If he's impulsive, the elves on our side won't be able to do it."
The main force of the alliance here also contains thousands of elven mages and rangers, and if an accident happens to Kael'thas, the actions of these elves will be very difficult to control.
Tulayan's shadow instantly appeared in his mind.
【Damn!】 】
He cursed and hurriedly threw the bewitching elf aside.
During this time, Tulayan had been thinking about Aurelia all day long, and had launched many attacks, but it made the proud elf even more cold.
Tulayan was the commander of the war, but Aurelia never appeared in front of him, and all orders were passed through others.
This made Tulayan feel very regretful.
But he knew that now was not the time to think about it, so he immediately stopped thinking about Aurelia.
"Speed up!"
He shouted loudly, using more time to suppress the unrestful heart.
Half an hour later, the coalition reached the Sadol Bridge.
They intercepted tens of thousands of orcs as fast as they could, besieging them.
"Three, no, two hours, destroy them for me!"
Tulayan ordered:
"Leave no mouth alive."
Powerful spell fluctuations appeared in the sky, and thousands of elves began to chant incantations.
The human warriors began to charge, sword in hand, fighting the orcs.
On the other side of the Sador Bridge, in addition to the attacking human soldiers, the entire sky began to darken, it was the griffin troops from the Brute Hammer Dwarves.
A complete encirclement, the orcs have no aerial mounts, and can only face the fate of destruction.
A little more than two hours later, the battle ended.
"Leave a small number of men to clean up the battlefield, and the rest immediately pursue the orcs."
Tulayan gave the order and rushed down with the soldiers of these alliances.
They are fast, eating away at the slower ranks of the orcs.
At this time, the alliance led by Kael'thas slowly advanced and encountered a new orc force.
"That's"
When Kael'thas saw the leading figure, his blood-red eyes and familiar face immediately startled him.
[Grom Hell Roars, How could he be here!!] 】
Grom Hellroar is arguably one of the most powerful men in the orc clan, and he has the demeanor of a warrior, reacting quickly and catching people off guard. He was proud of his exploits, and he was content with his position as the chief of the Warsong clan. Graeme was respectable, and he greatly appreciated the might of his enemies. He is committed to the development of his own race, maintaining the traditions of the clan.
But at this time, if Kael'thas remembers correctly, Grom should still be in the native land of the orcs and did not participate in this war.
Did he remember it wrong?
Kael'thas isn't very clear about some of the details either, so he's not very sure right now.
"Your Highness Kael'thas, don't you keep going?"
Antonidas came over and asked Kael'thas.
"No, of course not"
Kael'thas shook his head:
"The enemy on the other side is too strong, so don't act rashly."
Looking at the situation now, Grom and his team are just standing in the distance to protect the retreat of the orcs behind, not wanting to fight, and Kael'thas naturally will not attack foolishly.
Others may not know how powerful Grom is, but Kael'thas knows it.
Grom's clan was a fighting clan in its own right, and he himself was even the first to drink the blood of demons.
What's more, in history Grom killed a demigod.
Kael'thas had only just seen the power of the demigods, and he didn't want to see them again.
So, the forces of this alliance stopped.
By evening, when the orcs had almost retreated and Grom was about to leave, Tulayan arrived with the main force of the Alliance.
The young man, who didn't know the height of the sky, attacked.
Kael'thas then watched as thousands of human soldiers were wiped out by Grom and his clan in a matter of minutes, and Grom single-handedly broke into the ranks of the humans and slaughtered them at such speed that he slashed the human soldiers like a whirlwind.
Antonidas was terrified when he looked at it, and he immediately understood the reason why Kael'thas didn't choose to attack.
[Fortunately, this guy didn't send the elves.] 】
When Tulayan gave up the attack, Kael'thas breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, Grom left with his clans, and the wetlands were once again in the arms of the Alliance.
Kael'thas joined forces with Aurelia and the others, and then his command was taken over by Tulayan as a matter of course.
There was a brief 'lull' in the fighting, and the coalition seemed to have no intention of attacking again.
A week later, Orgrim and his large army secretly went to sea to capture the defecting orc warlock Gul'dan.
The League, of course, knows this.
