Taren Mill, after a night of fierce fighting, the remaining Forsaken and Blood Elven Ranger have withdrawn.

The Forsaken were caught off guard by the draenei paladin's sabotage and the sudden arrival of the Seventh Legion at the beginning of the campaign, and they were almost in a desperate situation. In desperation, all the grievances in Xie Feng's heart, which had been calculated, suppressed, and even forced to compromise by all parties, finally broke out in one fell swoop!

After gaining the trust of the blind, regardless of the casualties of the Forsaken soldiers, he buried all his advantages one by one, and finally led the entire alliance into a desperate situation through huge casualties and Garin's desire to win. The subsequent Battle of the Gate of Damnation, which was used by the Forsaken rebels, turned the balance of strength between the two sides of the battlefield in one fell swoop by virtue of the Forsaken's unafraid of the plague and poison cloud. Then, with the fresh forces of Hammer Town and the elite of the Forsaken, he desperately blocked the two entrances to the valley, trying to destroy all the enemies in one fell swoop.

In just two quarters of an hour, the Ninth Legion, which was the first to collapse, was almost completely wiped out, leaving only the most elite more than a thousand people to rush to the east exit with the desperate support of the Ninth Order Paladin Jorad, who was ashamed of his heart, and fought bloodily with the defenders led by Xie Feng and the Blind, and Prince Garin also relied on his prestige to reluctantly pull up nearly two thousand Alasso coalition troops and the Ninth Legion to attack the Forsaken together.

The persecution of the plague cloud made the alliance soldiers burst out with unparalleled combat effectiveness, fighting bravely regardless of their lives, but the forsaken were suppressed along the way, and in order to finally lead them into the trap, they suffered heavy losses, and their hearts were already full of resentment.

The alliance has an advantage in numbers, and a group of generals led by Garin and Jorad, two ninth-order powerhouses, fought bloodily regardless of their own safety, but the tribe occupied a geographical advantage, and the French legion led by the ** division blind suppressed the opponent's offensive, although it was crumbling, it was always able to block the alliance and prevent it from breaking through.

Just when Garin and Alfred were about to despair, the Seventh Legion, which had been sent to attack the old castle and wanted to suppress the Blood Elf Rangers, finally went around behind Xie Feng and the others, and launched a surprise attack without warning, breaking the position of the Forsaken defenders almost instantly, and the French troops in the rear bore the brunt of the casualties.

When the alliance in the valley saw the arrival of reinforcements, their morale was greatly boosted, and they took advantage of the chaos of the Forsaken formation to break through the blockade and escape from the valley in one fell swoop. The leader of this group of Seventh Legion soldiers was only an eighth-order warrior, although his troops were elite, but with the assistance of a group of senior generals such as the blind man, they quickly blocked their attack, and after paying nearly half of the French profession, they finally slowly stabilized the formation.

When the trapped alliance rushed out of the valley, the ambush soldiers in the ruins of the old castle who had completed the mission also happened to pursue the Seventh Legion to get here, and just happened to bump into them. Seeing this, the Seventh Army in the back had nothing to do with the blind and the others, so they just left them to go to the aid of the alliance troops, and the blind and Xie Feng would not sit idly by and watch them destroy their own troops that rushed in.

The strength of the two sides is about the same, and if they fight again, it will only increase the casualties, and the alliances that escaped with their lives have no intention of fighting, and retreat directly to the high ground after the round with the Seventh Legion. The blind did not want to continue to consume, and led the army to continue to block the entrance, eliminating the alliances that had not yet rushed up.

On the battlefield on the other side of the valley, the Hammer tribe that fell last finally turned around and retreated, and when they rushed to the mouth of the valley in a panic, they just happened to bump into the Hammer Town coalition army and dared to block the exit. Seeing that the road to life was blocked, the Hammer Dwarves of course refused to sit idly by, and the Hammer Coalition was unwilling to let them escape easily, so the two new forces did not say a word, and each lined up to fight.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, but the panicked dwarves could not break out of the canyon in a short time, and were blocked by the orcs at the mouth of the valley. The thin poisonous gas that drifted over made the forsaken mages blow back into the dwarf array, due to the blessing of the poison totem effect of the shaman sacrifice, the qi did not cause great damage to the orcs, but the dwarves were different, the poisonous gas that came with the wind gathered above them, although it was barely bearable with the dwarven anti-poison system, but the combat effectiveness was also greatly reduced.

After fighting for half a day, hundreds of people were killed but still failed to break through, and the people's poisoning reaction was getting bigger and bigger. This situation made Lord Vorstad also ruthless, and asked the tribesmen to gather their artillery and bombard the entangled orc and dwarven warriors in front of them, regardless of whether they were enemies or friends, and in the blink of an eye, nearly a thousand soldiers on both sides were blown away, leaving a large open space. Then he opened the way with artillery, forcing the Hammer Coalition to retreat again and again, and finally opened a way out of the foot of the Alterac Mountain, escaped with nearly 3,000 soldiers, and drilled into the Garakent Valley. There was the Storm Griffin's lair there, and the Hammer Falling Alliance, knowing the situation, naturally did not dare to pursue it, and in turn continued to block the exit and besiege the trapped Alliance.

After a night of scuffle, and after confirming that there was no one left alive in the valley, the blind men rallied and returned to Talenmir. With Riptide Castle, the Ninth Legion, and the Ogres battered, and with little to threaten them on the heights, the Polluters and Orcs retreated to Hammerfall Town with some reins after receiving some supplies.

A big war has finally come to an end, in which there are three major forces that strictly count and participate in the war. Except for the Horde side who was forced to defend, the Alliance and Fort Riptide coalition forces had their own calculations, but the final result was that they were all wounded, and no force was able to bargain.

In addition to the most elite more than 1,000 people in the Ninth Legion, the rest of the army was wiped out, and the total number of Alasso coalition troops in Riptide Fort was tens of thousands, and this time there were 5,000 elites, and more than 3,000 were wiped out by Xie Feng in a battle, and even the newly subdued ogres also suffered heavy losses, and the number of tens of thousands was sharply reduced to less than 3,000. After a series of battles, only half of the 600 reinforcements of the 7th Army were able to return to Nanhai Town with the remnants of the 9th Army. Among them, the most aggrieved was the Brute Hammer Tribe, the first batch of reinforcements were killed by the red dragon's breath, and the first large-scale dispatch fell into the trap again, leaving more than 1,000 people to flee in a hurry.

On the other hand, the tribes that are victors are no better. On the Blood Elf side, the elite of Xie Feng's ranger troops was broken by half, the orcs in Falling Hammer Town were also reduced from 5,000 to less than 3,000, and the Frostwolf Clan was also exploited by the Thunderspear Dwarves because of their support for the Talenmir war, and their hometown of Alterac Valley was occupied by the other party by one-third, and they are still trying their best to recapture it. And the Forsaken, who participated in the war as the main force, suffered heavy losses! The original defenders of Talummere were almost wiped out except for a few undead sentinels, and the Polluter Legion was only about 1,000, and the 18,000 troops reinforced from the Undercity were less than 5,000 according to the post-war statistics of the Blind

In any case, the battle was finally won, and although the losses were heavy, the hills and highlands did not fall into the hands of the alliance after all, and the strategic goal was achieved. In addition to Xie Feng, because he deliberately sent the forsaken to death, he was also afraid that Sylvanas would settle accounts with him, although he was also forced to do so

In the next few days, the remnants of the Forsaken reunited and rested under the leadership of the Blind, and Xie Feng waited for news from Silvermoon City after picking up the wounded soldiers who had remained on the high ground. However, even if there are Leah Youlin, Romans and others as backups, what awaits Xie Feng will be good news

After all, this time when he came out, he not only openly resisted the orders of all the high-level leaders of Silver Moon City, but also openly replied to the letter and directly expressed his position, so that the members of the royal party, the regent and the first family, and even the neutral personnel could not get off the stage, which was extremely bad in nature. Except for setting up another banner, this is no different from rebellion! If it weren't for his popularity among the people, his connections and prestige in the Morning Striker Legion, and the fact that the Great War was imminent, it would be difficult to change the commander in front of the battle, and he would be squatting in the magic prison of Silvermoon City right now

But the battle was barely won. Xie Feng relied on the Sneak Attack Battle in the Refuge Valley and the Battle of Talenmir to make a name for the Blood Elves, and the higher-ups should not blame them too much. In fact, if it is said that Xie Feng made a plan to turn defeat into victory in the last battle, Xie Feng, even with the Chenfeng Legion, and even the entire Silver Moon City can become famous in the Eastern and Western Continents, and it will definitely reach the level of reinvigorating the prestige that the high-level leaders expected before the war!

But in this way, Xie Feng's reputation is over! With the Plague of the Undead, his reputation can be directly compared to that of the infamous Scourge Legion! In order not to implicate the entire Blood Elf Clan, Silver Moon City will definitely directly declare him treason and be the first to hunt him down! At the same time, his name will be registered on the hunt lists of Silver Dawn, Scarlet Crusader, Cenarion, Kenrito, MI7 and even the Red Dragon!

It is precisely because of this consideration that the blind person directly shouldered all the responsibilities and did not affect Xie Feng. Compared to the Blood Elves, no one can say anything about the Forsaken's use of the plague, at most it is a condemnation. Besides, it was the alliance that launched the attack first, and no one could say anything.

Therefore, it was understood that the culprit who caused this tragedy was Xie Feng's, and only a few high-level members of the Forsaken and Blood Elf clans did not spread it to the outside world.

After waiting anxiously for a few days, when all the wounded had recovered, Dusthorn had not heard back from Silvermoon City. Just when Xie Feng was impatient to bring the rangers back, the messenger from Silvermoon City came to Talummere.

This time, it was Xie Feng's old acquaintance who came first, the ** master Quinzas, who had served as a messenger when he was in Taquilin. There was also a team of King City Guards lawbreakers. I don't know if it was because the punishment was too harsh that caused Xie Feng to resist, or if it was simply to show strength to the Forsaken allies

After Quinzas arrived, he didn't put on a face for Xie Feng, and he was still as enthusiastic as when he was in Taquilin, which also reassured a lot. Behind Quinnzas is the blood mage Romans, and his current behavior shows that Romans and Liadeline and other royal parties have not given up on themselves, and even the punishment will not be severe.

Xie Feng brought him in, introduced Galinde, Dusthorn and the others to him, and everyone sat together and chatted. Afterwards, Quinzas said that he would announce the order of Silvermoon City, and named Xie Feng, Garinde, and Selin to leave behind and go to the small meeting room arranged by Dusthorn together.

After the four of them sat down, Quenzas then unleashed a magical enchantment to envelop the room, and then took out three letters from his bosom and handed them to him.

It can be seen from the lifelike Fire Phoenix logo on the envelope that this is probably the decision of Silver Moon City's punishment of Xie Feng. As usual, Quel'thas did not officially read it out, but handed it directly to Xie Feng.

Xie Feng was not polite, nodded apologetically to Quinzas, and then took out the first letterhead with a solemn face and read it carefully. There are just more than 100 words on it, and you can sweep it at a glance, but after reading it, Xie Feng's face was immediately like earth, and cold sweat flowed

Get rid of Alex as General of the Wind and take back his command of the Blood Knight!

Deprive Alex of the rank of Rin Feng and deprive him of all his military merits in this campaign!

Alex Rin Wind will be expelled from the Morning Striker Legion!

In just three orders, Xie Feng's heart turned upside down~~ It doesn't matter if the position of general is lost, he can still be appointed here in the future, and Xie Feng has long been prepared for this. It's nothing to take back the command of the Blood Knight, isn't the appointment of the Blood Knight a matter of Liadeline's words? Sooner or later, I'll have to go back.

But the next three commands are different. The destruction of all military exploits, that is to say, the exploits he made this time, the recovery of the Ranger troops in Hinterland, and even the efforts made in the Battle of the Spirits are all in vain! And the deprivation of military rank means that even if Xie Feng participates in the war in the future, he can only start as a small soldier.

These are bearable. With the support of Liadrin, there is no military exploits to stand again, and the military rank can be promoted again, that is, to start all over again. Azeroth lacks everything, but not war! Sooner or later, there's a chance!

But the last one directly drove him to a dead end. Expelling the Morning Striker Legion means that all the connections and prestige he has accumulated over the years are gone, and Liadline can't protect him. Moreover, who would dare to accept him from the other legions? If he can't join the regular army, he is also an adventurer no matter how great his contribution is, and it is difficult to get official recognition. In this way, how can we talk about a comeback?

The combination of several orders suddenly reduced Xie Feng, a high-ranking general, to a mediocre and blocked his way to rise again! Of course, he also has the title of viscount. But what's the use of that? Because of his popularity among the people, leave him a fig leaf?

Xie Feng had the intention of letting go of everything, and if it wasn't for Tai Li's persuasion and explanation, he would probably have taken action. But now he has dispelled this idea, and the feeling of letting go of everything and quitting is not the same as being thrown down!

Facing Liadrin's inaction and the ruthlessness of the higher-ups, Xie Feng suddenly felt a wave of anger rise in his heart. worked hard, how much effort did it take to get back the merit that was vetoed by them? Although he disobeyed the order, in the final analysis, he was also thinking about the entire race, and he was unwilling to bury the first returning clansman in the battlefield senselessly, what was wrong with doing so? Why should he be dismissed?

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, I slapped the letterhead in my hand on the table, and stood up angrily and was about to slam the door. Now he even had the heart to take his men to the Silver Covenant

This is a smiling Quinzas suddenly spoke, and said with a smile: "General Alex, don't worry, you still have to read the other two orders, and it's not too late to be angry at that time!" ”

Xie Feng paused when he heard this, sat back with a cold snort, opened the second letterhead with a gloomy face, and read it. It's not that he can suppress his anger so quickly, the key is where Quenzas's magic enchantment is in the way, and with his strength, he doesn't even want to open it and walk out

Forcibly suppressed his anger and quickly read the second order. Immediately and the letter, the anger on his face after frowning and pondering turned into doubt~ Merge the Hinterland Elf Ranger team into the Far Wanderer Army, commanded by the Ranger General Haduron Mingyi!

Due to the isolation of the Plaguelands, the Ranger Legion was temporarily unable to return to Silvermoon City, and ordered them to be stationed in Tarummir to assist in the defense. Tentatively named the former Ranger captain Garind Charon as the commander!

These two orders are not actually good news either. The Ranger Legion was merged into the Far Traveler, and in the future, it was not under the command of Xie Feng, but under the command of Hadurun. However, because of the barrier of the plague lands, they were stationed on the spot, and did not send a new commander, and continued to let Garinde take command, so that Haduron would not even want to command easily! Xie Feng was dismissed from all positions and expelled from the army, so he was no longer under official orders, he could go wherever he wanted. And he was convicted because of these rangers, and his prestige among them must be greatly enhanced, so that the ranger troops are not at his disposal?

This is clearly not right! Could it be that the royal party and the regent family are competing with each other? Now that they haven't fallen out, it's not so obvious, is it?

With doubts, I opened the third letterhead~~ This one has only one order, to be promoted to Serin. Huoxin is the deputy general of the Chenfeng Legion, and he commands the blood knights who were originally under Xie Feng's command!

The orders of the three letters are combined, which means that Xie Feng has been removed from all positions and identities, but the actual command is still in his hands!

What does this mean exactly? If it was won by Liadline and the others, then why did they expel him from the Morning Striker Legion again?

Just as he pondered the implications, Quinzas spoke again: "I'm here this time, and Lord Liadline has a message for me to convey. ”

Xie Feng was stunned: "What? ”

Quenzath looked at him and smiled, and said leisurely, "She asked you to go back to Silvermoon City as soon as possible and meet her!" ”
