Chapter 168: Battle of the Canyon 2

The sky began to be enveloped in sunset

In the evening, the elves, moments before they were encircled by the enemy, rushed into the canyon.

After walking through the 20-meter-wide canyon mouth and walking inside in less than 10 minutes, they reached the interior of the canyon with a spacious and relatively flat terrain.

Although the terrain is generally flat, it is not a good place to live, with wild grasses, boulders, and moist springs flowing under the grass.

However, the elves didn't mind in the slightest

"Your Highness!"

After arranging for some elves to go to the west to secretly clear the way, the elves who were in charge of detecting the enemy's movements returned.

"Why, those guys haven't come in yet?"

Looking at the expression on the elf's face, Kael'thas guessed the outcome.

"Yes, Your Highness, the orcs and trolls gathered outside the canyon, but they didn't show any action to get in."

The elf nodded and replied honestly.

This was to be expected by Kael'thas

"Which is better for them, day or night?"

He looked up at the phoenix soaring overhead, and asked himself:

"At night, of course, at night they will be able to break through the mage's distance defenses more conveniently, and thus inflict melee blows on us."

And at night, the view from afar is not as good as that of the near one, which is very beneficial for melee professionals.

Orcs and trolls want to make the most of their melee advantage, quickly killing through the elven crowd, relying on their short vision to deal a lot of damage.

In this way, they are not stupid.

However, the elven mages are no weaker than the heroes of Dalaran, and they are not much weaker at night.

It was clear that the orc commander had not heeded the advice of the trolls in the team and had chosen his own plan.

'Py~'

Xiao Ao in the sky seemed to feel the disdain in Kael'thas heart, and shouted loudly.

"Well, we can adopt new tactics!"

Kael'thas withdrew his eyes, his eyes shining with a cold light, and said unhurriedly.

- Okmai - The orc commander is now immersed in the thrill of surrounding the elves.

He didn't expect the rumored elf to be nothing more than that, although they had 'shit' found a canyon before the siege formed

But isn't this canyon also a desperate situation for them!?

[Those pointy-eared guys are so stupid!] 】

Ok Mehaha laughed, a little smug in his heart.

Now the elves are blocked in the canyon, ready to kill and scrape, while his troops can advance and retreat at any time

No other battle in his memory has been as perfect as this one.

You can kill the enemy when you enter, and you can save yourself when you retreat! If you fail, you can continue to find a way to break into Hinterland

【Great! 】

The thought that the elves would all fall under their axes would be able to see the blood flowing from inside that canyon early tomorrow morning

The sturdy commander trembled with excitement.

He resisted the bloodthirsty urge and reminded himself not to rush, and to wait until it was dark.

After dark, it's time for them to shine!

In the quiet waiting, the sky soon darkened, and the distant vision began to become hazy.

With the moonlight, you won't be blind to anything.

"Ready to go!"

Okmai looked at the moon in the sky and gave orders to his troops with some satisfaction.

A small team of hundreds of trolls began to scout the way ahead, and then the long green troops followed.

Except for the more than 1,000 trolls guarding the outside of the canyon, the rest of the people were all crammed into the canyon.

Although the canyon is surrounded by steep cliffs on both sides, there are no huge rocks or anything at the top, and there is no risk of collapse.

"Your Excellency, don't we need to wait until the moon is obscured before we act?"

Lieutenant is Okemai's rank, so he is called so when the adjutant comes to ask for instructions at this moment.

"I need darkness to help us reduce the sight of the elven mages, but complete darkness won't do it."

Okmai glared at his lieutenant with red eyes, and said proudly:

"If the elves were hiding on either side, wouldn't we fall into a trap if we rushed over stupidly?"

At the very least, you need to be able to see where the elves are.

The large procession quickly entered the canyon, and Okmer made the group stop, squinting and looking carefully.

In the darkness, a 2-meter-high earthen wall can be seen in the distance.

"That's the elven spell?"

He asked his lieutenant in a deep voice.

"Yes, there are reports from trolls that there is a mention of such spells."

The orc, as an adjutant, replied:

"Elves don't have melee combat, so sometimes in order to protect their mages, they will shape the earth wall to defend against the impact of melee combat!"

I see

[It is indeed a convenient means.] 】

Okmai thought to himself, and then his face was still a little cautious:

"What did the trolls sent to the mountains and forests on either side find?"

In order to prevent the elves from sneaking up on both sides, Okmai sent some trolls who knew the forest well on the way to investigate.

"They didn't dare to go too far, but the report said that there were some squads of elves in the forest defending, but there were no big troops!"

The adjutant confirmed the answer with the surname.

During the battle in Zuaman, the High Elves had developed enough spells to hide large armies, but because the trolls who fled from Zuaman had not participated in the battlefield and had not seen this spell, the intelligence was still very backward.

The orcs and trolls took it for granted that the large army would not be able to escape their detection.

So Okmai breathed a sigh of relief, but just in case, he decided to give it a try.

"Send a handful of trolls to rush up and see if there are elves behind the earthen wall!"

He commanded.

Soon after the order was given, more than a hundred trolls with shields rushed forward.

The green-skinned trolls ran eagerly, and before they were halfway there, they saw a blue light shoot out from behind the earthen wall.

No, it wasn't a ray of light, but a myriad of ice losses that glowed blue!

They shot out in a barrage and struck the trolls' eagerly raised shields, 'crackling' and 'crackling', leaving frosty scars on the shields.

"It's an ice arrow!"

Someone shouted, and Okmai took a breath and hurriedly ordered a retreat.

"There's an elven mage in there!"

He laughed, then looked at the sky, just in time to see the moon entering a cloud.

"God help me!!"

Okmai was overjoyed, and then roared at the orcs and trolls:

"Now is the time! All hands rush forward!! ”

"All rush!!"

"Rush~"

Inside the canyon, the ground began to shake, and the orcs and trolls accelerated together, like a pack of roaring and running leopards, and the sound tore through the darkness

And in front of this green wave, above the head, there were spell fluctuations of various brilliant colors at the same time
