When Xie Feng and his party came to Hinterland, it only took one day, and at that time, forty people were running in a row, and there was no delay on the road for long. But it won't take a day to go back to Talenmere. The speed of a small team and a large army is definitely a world of difference!

A thousand men marched on the march, and all kinds of military supplies, bows and arrows, armor, tents, food, grass, medicines, etc. were indispensable, and the amount of so many people would not be less. And in order to cope with emergencies and maintain the physical strength and combat effectiveness of the soldiers, these are generally managed in a unified manner. In the special jungle terrain of Hinterland, the speed of baggage transportation will undoubtedly be greatly reduced, and not all rangers have chocobos to travel, Xie Feng and the others can only slow down and walk with the army. As a result, the speed of the march can be imagined.

Fortunately, there were no long-sighted trolls along the way. More than a thousand people walked for a whole day to reach the entrance to the Garakent Valley.

It would be strange if such a large march could be concealed from the Hammer Dwarves. Eagle's Nest Mountain directly dispatched a large number of Storm Knights to come to the alert.

But who made Xie Feng have a relationship with Furstad? With him letting go, the dwarven knights went back and forth from where, and even promised to help Xie Feng observe the movements of the trolls and inform him if there was any situation.

In fact, this is not to say that the dwarves are so arrogant that they are naïve, allowing so many elves to gather under their noses and ignore them. Rather, it's a special reason for the Garakent Valley!

This is where the entire Storm Griffin clan is located. With thousands of griffons living here, and with them on the spot, it doesn't make a difference whether the dwarves send people or not, so they are so reassured.

It is said that the griffon Kudruk and the dwarven lord Vorstad felt strange that Xie Feng had returned to the hills with a large number of elves instead of going to Seradan. Xie Feng gave a satisfactory explanation for their question - something had happened to Lethorne, who guarded one of the four dragons of Seradan, and Tyri had canceled the mission. Is there anything that happened~ Xie Feng didn't say, and Furstad didn't ask. However, Xie Feng still reminded him to be careful~ As for the issue of leading a large number of elves back, Fustad directly turned a blind eye ~

With the griffons escorting them, and the fact that this place is so close to the dwarven fortress Eagle's Nest Mountain, the trolls did not have enough to eat and came to look for death, Xie Feng and the others spent the night peacefully.

The next day, the group continued on the road. Led by Kudruck and Granistad, they crossed the Garakent Valley again and entered the Hillsbrad Hills at noon.

When Xie Feng left a few days ago, he had already discovered the large-scale assembly of the alliance. In addition, the subsequent movement of the Forsaken will definitely arouse the awareness of the South Sea Town Alliance, and humanity will not wait for the Forsaken reinforcements to arrive. If the opposing commander is not a fool, the battle must have started at this point!

The hills are no longer so safe, and if they run into a large alliance force, just a thousand rangers are not enough for them to stuff their teeth. Therefore, before Xie Feng walked out of the valley, he sent a large number of rangers to visit the situation first, and some of the elites personally selected by Garinder went directly to Tarunmir to investigate the intelligence.

After the first batch of scouts brought the news that there was no anomaly outside the valley, Xie Feng said goodbye to the griffins and led the rangers out of the valley.

Instead of rushing to Talenmere to support him as soon as he entered the Hillsbrad Hills, he set up camp in the forests near the Alterac Mountains to the north, and then spouted with hundreds of rangers to reconnoiter the entire hills.

Perhaps the Forsaken is in a critical moment now, and if he goes to the rescue, he might turn the tide of the battle. But this is only a matter of small probability, and the greater probability is that he will lead this group of rangers to plunge headlong into the encirclement of the large alliance.

How could Xie Feng take such a big risk for the sake of the Forsaken? Even if the forces of the Hillsbrad and Arathi tribes all retreated, he would not have any trouble, and it would be a big deal to retreat to Hinterland with the elves, not to the point of exhaustion.

As the day passed, the rangers sent out returned one after another, and the situation in the entire Hillsbrad Hills unfolded before his case.

As he expected, this battle of the Alliance's carefully planned and hastily prepared Horde has begun! And its intensity is even more serious than Xie Feng imagined!

After the rangers sent the last piece of information, he summoned Selin and Garinde to his tent to analyze and discuss the current situation with them.

Among all Xie Feng's subordinates, the one who could give him a little advice on the battle campaign was Serin. The four Magisters are powerful, but it's okay to discuss magic with them, and it's nonsense to talk about war! The three rangers are no better, and if they had a little sense of war, they wouldn't have led the rangers straight to the Tower of the Windrangers and plunged headlong into the hinterland of the undead scourge in the first place.

As for Galinde and Xie Feng, they don't know very well, but judging from the fact that she spent several years safely in the troll lair of Hinterland with two thousand high elves, she can be regarded as an extremely good commander, and her command ability and battle situation analysis ability should not be much worse.

After the two arrived, Xie Feng asked Selin to read the information sent by the rangers one by one~

"The deserted ruins of Dunhold Castle and the entrenched syndicate thieves are gone! The entire ruins did not show any signs of battle left in a week, and the preliminary judgment was that the syndicate retreated on its own. And the retreat was extremely hasty. I don't know what the specific reason is~~" Selin picked up the information and read it to Xie Feng and the others.

"The syndicate is made up of thieves, robbers, gamblers, scoundrels, and so on. The backbone and leader of it is the declining aristocracy of the former kingdom of Alterac. This kind of organization is timid and fearful, and its combat effectiveness is extremely weak, but its intelligence gathering ability is extremely strong. They must have heard some kind of wind to run away desperately. Xie Feng thought about it and said.

Selin nodded, and continued to read~

"Second, there are two armies fighting to the death in front of the wall of Soladin. The defenders are dwarves, who block the road to Arathi. The attacking side is an orc force! The main force is a group of orc knights riding a giant white wolf! ”

"Also, report from the rangers who went to Dangalok, where the gates of the camp were closed and only the shadows of the dwarves flashed from time to time."

"The knight riding the white giant wolf should be the orc frostwolf clan stationed in the Alterac Valley. It seems that Tarummir has really asked the Orcs of Osan for help! "Such obvious features, you don't have to guess who these are - it must be the Frostwolf Knights!

"As for the dwarves who are blocking the walls of Soladin, they should be the dwarves of Dengalok! You read it on! ”

Selin: "There is nothing unusual in the town of Nanhai, but the soldiers are all on high alert, patrolling day and night, and there are several ships in the harbor that are suspected to be warships. However, most of the guards are not very strong in combat, and it is preliminarily judged that most of them are newly trained militias!! The number was also very small, about 2,000 defenders and about 1,000 sailors! ”

"The alliance army of Nanhai Town has attacked! Don't know where it is now? Xie Feng said suspiciously, and let Selin continue to read.

Selin: "Talenmere is heavily besieged and the battle is very fierce, but depending on the situation, although the defenders of Talenmere are suppressed, they are not without the slightest strength to fight back!" If nothing else, it won't be breached in a short time! ”
