Chapter 149: Paving the way out first
Back at the Blood Elf station, Xie Feng ordered Vorell and the others present to recruit all the rangers who were on guard outside the farm back to rest, while letting Selin, the guards, and the four Magisters each return to the camp to recuperate and prepare for the brutal battle at night in the best condition.
Originally, in terms of the rangers' eyesight, they were much better alert during the day than the Forsaken Scouts. However, patrolling and guarding is not an easy job, if they continue to hand over the work of guarding the outer edge of the farm to the rangers, it would be good if they could still have seventy percent of their strength left in the night battle! And that's when they work two shifts. The Forsaken, on the other hand, have no such concerns, and their perverted system can sustain them for a week of vigilance and maintain more than eighty percent of their combat effectiveness.
Dathalia also understood this, and in order to bring out the best combat power of everyone, he directly let the Forsaken take over the task of the Blood Elves. Although it is relatively inferior, it can be compensated for by the advantage of quantity.
After arranging everyone to rest, Xie Feng also returned to his room to make up for sleep. However, after the meeting just now, the strange changes in the situation on the high ground were deeply introduced into his mind, and he always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't sleep at all for a while.
It's incredible that ogres and trolls would attack the mighty Ninth Legion, and that it was a desperate attack with the power of the clan! In terms of their thinking habits and IQ, it is normal to seek good fortune and avoid evil, but when did they know that their lips were dead and their teeth were cold? The two races that have been fighting with the hammer orcs to the death can actually unite and cooperate with the orcs and undead to attack the Ninth Legion in tacit cooperation
"Could it be the syndicate thieves and the people behind them?" Xie Feng thought of this possibility. These people have been helping the tribe openly or covertly since entering the highlands, allowing them to take root on the farm under the noses of the Ninth Legion and Riptide Castle, and now they are directly contributing to create a perfect opportunity for the tribe to turn defeat into victory, but are these people really syndicates? When did they have such a great ability? Even the Shadow Council behind them could not have such influence!
After thinking about it for a while, not only did I fail to figure out the tricks, but there were more and more mysteries, and the more I thought about it, the more entangled I became, and I always felt that there was a big net hanging over my head, and it could fall down at any time to wipe out myself and all the tribal alliances~~ I paced back and forth in the room irritably, circled a few times, and finally gritted my teeth and made up my mind, opened the door and shouted outside: "Cyntia, let me in!" ”
Of course, it's not that Xie Feng feels that his future is bleak, and he wants to have fun in time before being calculated~~~ He just wants to find someone to ghostwrite! In the past, I wrote my own diary or something, and I could write it however I wanted, and no one cared. But now it's different to write intelligence documents, he really wants to do it himself, and the other party is likely to think it's some secret code
Among the few people who came with him, the best candidate for this ghostwriter was Cyntia. He is silent and calm, and he usually doesn't talk much, he doesn't talk about the content easily, and he doesn't easily show it on his face after knowing the content of the letter, unlike the other two rangers, as for the Magisters and Selin, they are directly ignored by him. Bringing a big man into the room to conspire, this will be much better for Cyntia to get out, and it will be peachy news at best
After a while, Cyntia, who still had a little water stain on her face, knocked on the door and walked into Xie Feng's room, it seemed that she should have been asleep just now, and after being woken up by Xie Feng, she hurriedly washed her face and rushed over.
Xie Feng called her to the table, took out a paper and quill, and said to her, "I have important information to pass on to Talenmir, you will write it for you." ”
A trace of doubt flashed in Cyntia's eyes, but she didn't ask anything, nodded and came to sit down in front of Xie Feng, picked up the words that waited for Xie Feng~"Write a letter to the blind first, I think the situation in the highlands is abnormally changing, and there is a strange atmosphere everywhere, and it is very likely that something will happen." Before he led his army into the high ground, he left an ambush on the ruins of Dunhold Castle to guard the walls of Soladin and leave us a route to retreat. And it's best to get into the highlands at night! ”
Hearing what Xie Feng said, Cynthia was taken aback, and the pen in her hand paused for a moment, spent, and then came back to her senses and frowned, lowered a piece of paper and threw it aside, and buried herself in writing.
Seeing this, Xie Feng nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "The second one is to write to Galinde, ask her to pass on the first letter to the blind, and send a large number of rangers to closely monitor Nanhai Town, Dangalok and Garakent Valley before the departure of the large army!" ”
After thinking about it, he continued, "Let her send that Night Elf Sirendis here again!" ”
Cynthia wrote Xie Feng's words as she said, handed them to Xie Feng, and after he pressed the magic seal, she took it and put it in the envelope to write the signature and recipient. Then he turned around and looked at Xie Feng suspiciously, just now in the hall Xie Feng was full of confidence and said to everyone that this time he had a golden opportunity to turn the situation around in one fell swoop and relieve the siege of Hammer Town. But now these two letters
The latter took the letter and put it in a small iron box, before explaining to Cyntia: "If the sneak attack is successful this time, it can indeed severely damage the Ninth Legion, but the problem is that this opportunity itself is strange, and it is not created by us at all!" He shook his head and said with a wry smile: "All the development is carried out under the impetus of a behind-the-scenes mastermind, and we are just guns in his hands!" When this sneak attack succeeds in severely damaging the Alliance, we will lose our effect, and then"
"I don't know what's going to happen, but since I think it's dangerous here, let's get ready for the road first!"
When Cynthia heard this, she also understood the seriousness of the matter. Frowning and thinking for a while, he said a few words rarely: "However, if you send a letter directly to the blind person across Dasalia, will you be suspicious of her if you discuss it with her first and let her convey it?" Or just go back."
Xie Feng shook his head a little irritably, and said with a wry smile: "Do you think I don't want to?" The problem is that these are just speculations, and there is no indication at all that we will have any big crisis. And you really think Dasalia can't see the weirdness in it? She's deliberately avoiding something. Since entering the highlands, she has behaved like Commander Tarummere in command! ”
"An excellent commander who led a few soldiers to the hills, quickly established himself firmly in the land of the four battles, and slowly developed to gradually regain his disadvantage, there is something that actually needs a novice like me and King Qi Niu to take an idea. If it's just a normal inquiry about being an ally, that's fine, but the problem is that most of the time she's guiding us to do what she wants, and then take it with the flow. The ultimate goal is to try my best to get in touch with the crisis in Hammer Town as soon as possible!! ”
Cynthia frowned: "Perhaps, she has something to worry about among the polluters, so that she has lost her former calm"
"I don't know!" Xie Feng shook his head: "You can't expect me to know about the past of a forsaken person, not even Sylvanas!" ”
Cynthia was silent.
Xie Feng leaned back in his chair and relieved his irritability, then said to Cyntia: "You go out first, by the way, Tyri will call in!" ”
Cynthia walked out as she was told. After a while, Tyri kicked open Xie Feng's door and said impatiently, "What's the matter?" Don't know the consequences of disturbing a dragon to sleep? ”
Xie Feng was in an irritable mood at this time, and he didn't bother to answer, so he directly threw the iron box containing the letter to Tyri, and said with a solemn face: "Take Nariel and send this to Tarunmir and hand it to Galinde, and then listen to her arrangement, you must come back before nightfall!" After saying that, he ignored her, lay back on the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Seeing Xie Feng's actions like this, Tyri also understood that this time the matter was not trivial, and she was not allowed to make trouble. He waved his small hand angrily, then quietly condensed a water ball above Xie Feng's head, and then turned away with a sly face.
With Xie Feng's perception of the magic element, of course, he noticed the movement on his head, and under the irritability, he reflexively waved a holy light towards the water ball. outcome
Reluctantly, he stood up, took out a piece of silk from his bag and wiped the water on his face. Outside the window, Tyri rode on Nareel's body and flew quickly to the west, and a silver bell-like laugh could be heard in the air, indicating her happy mood
After a quiet day's nightfall, Northford Farm was bustling with activity.
After nearly a quarter of an hour of noise, two thousand Forsaken warriors, two hundred Blood Elf Rangers, and two hundred miscellaneous adventurers finally gathered in the square in the middle of the farm. Among them, the gathering of the forsaken and the blood elves took less than five minutes, and the rest of the time was all waiting for the group of adventurers of the Qi Bull King, and most of the noisy voices were also made by these people.
Xie Feng stood in front of the blood elf team and looked at the group of adventurers who felt good about themselves speechlessly. On the other side, Dasalia's face was even more pale, and the bruises on his hands holding the weapon were exposed, eager to send this group of adventurers to meet the Lich King
And as the leader of this group of adventurers, King Qi Niu was not only not ashamed, but proud, and looked at Xie Feng and Dasalia with a smug face: "How is it?" My brothers are elite enough, right? If the other adventurers don't think about it for half an hour! ”
Dasalia
Xie Feng
At this moment, a sound of flapping wings sounded in the air, from far to near
"It's Nareel and Tyri!!" Standing behind Xie Feng, Vorell reminded loudly. In the night sky, even the forsaken can have a very limited eyesight, and the three ranger leaders present can see the farthest.
Hearing her reminder, everyone also relaxed their vigilance and waited for the two dragons to land.
At this moment, Xie Feng's ears suddenly heard Da Salia's words without the slightest emotion~: "Where did they go?" ”
Xie Feng stared back at her without showing weakness, and replied in a flat tone, "Talenmir." ”
Dasalia's eyes tightened, staring at Xie Feng for a long time, after all, he didn't make the matter clear, and turned his head without saying a word with a gloomy face.
Xie Feng didn't continue to speak, and turned his head to stare at Nareel in the night sky with a calm face.
In the distance, Terri rode on the back of a fairly large red dragon with a smile on her face, while the night elf Silentis, who had been brought by Xie Feng, was gagged, hung with a rope with her hands tied behind her back, and hung wobly on Nareel's legs
No need to guess, the only one who can do such a bad thing is Tyri.
Xie Feng shook his head helplessly, and after they landed, he asked Vorelle to pick up the syrendis and bring it to the team. Tyri, on the other hand, walked over and stood behind Xie Feng with a refreshed face, pulling the ranger Claire and muttering.
"Why did you go for so long?" Xie Feng frowned and asked Tyri.
"Oh, it's nothing~" Tyri didn't even look back, and replied indifferently: "It's nothing, Nariel is hungry, I'll take him something to eat"
Xie Feng
"Let's go!!" Dasalia on the side shouted, and then the Forsaken Legion slowly moved in an orderly manner.
Xie Feng didn't care about talking to Tyri, he waited for her fiercely, and set off with the blood elves. Finally, there is the Qi Niu King and his team of adventurers with miscellaneous steps.
The army took advantage of the darkness to slowly advance to the bottom of the refuge valley. Dasalia and Xie Feng saw that the overnight had also affected King Qi Niu, and after the three of them walked side by side at the front of the team for a while, Xie Feng and King Qi Niu each said goodbye and returned to their own team.
Returning to the blood elf team, Xie Feng brought over Sirendis, who had recovered and was stinky with a stinking face, and asked with a little funny, "How do you feel?" ”
Sirendis glared at him angrily: "Why don't you try?" ”
"Hehe, I don't have this treatment for the time being~" Xie Feng chuckled, and then his face slowly became solemn: "We are going to sneak attack the alliance forces now, it is certain that it will be a vicious battle, now, it depends on your choice!" ”
Sirendis raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you want?" Think I might be influencing your actions and want to address the problem? ”
Xie Feng tilted his head and thought for a while: "So to speak!" You're a real threat, we can gamble with the whole team, and killing you is really the best option. After a pause, he looked at Silentis, who looked a little nervous but tried to put on a nonchalant expression, and said, "However, you also know that I am a blood elf, and my dedication to arcane and magic is not comparable to that of other races. And you're an upper-class elf who holds the mysteries of ancient magic, give me a reason not to kill you, and to be willing to let everyone here take risks! ”
It's still the same sentence, but Silendis can feel that there is a clear difference between what Xie Feng said at this moment and the half-joking tone when he was in Tarummere, he was serious!!
forcibly suppressed his frantic heartbeat, tried hard to calm down, thought carefully for a long time, and finally lowered his head again, and said to Xie Feng with a lonely face: "The secret enchantment of the upper elves!" ”
When Xie Feng heard her words, he didn't say it directly, but looked at Darennis behind him. If memory serves, this is also a master of enchantment!
Seeing Xie Feng's inquiring eyes, Darennis bowed slightly, and then he was about to do a hall, looking at Sirendis with disdain and said proudly: "When Lord Darth Rema left Kalimdor, he brought with him all the precious texts and heirs of the various magic schools at that time, including all the enchanted schools!" ”
"Therefore, we are proud to announce that we have inherited all the enchantment techniques and blueprint formulas of the upper elves, and have carried them forward for thousands of years. The ones in Eresaras are not taken into account by us at all! ”
Xie Feng smiled and nodded to him, turned around and looked at Silendis with an expressionless face.
The female mage was not moved by Darennis's words in the slightest, but smiled disdainfully: "What's the matter? So, can you give me a glimpse of the so-called Blood Elf enchantment technique? ”
Darennis nodded very elegantly, took out a handful of magic dust and crystal-like items, used mana to outline a magic array in the air, and then imprinted all the items and magic array towards Xie Feng's back.
Xie Feng was very relieved to let him do it. At the moment when the magic array hit his back, a layer of mana fluctuations quickly appeared on the cloak, and Xie Feng only felt that the joints and muscles of his body were relaxed for a while, but his strength did not weaken at all.
At this moment, Darennis's voice also sounded behind him: "Enchanted Cloak - Titan Crest!" Increases the user's physical flexibility to enhance the ability to dodge attacks. ”
Seeing this, Sirendis smiled and said: "Very good spell-casting skills, you can apply such a high-level enchantment array on an ordinary cloak, I have to admit that you are a real enchantment master!" First praised it, and then his tone changed:
"But even so, it still can't replace my ability! The school of enchantment that I have learned and the one you have learned are two systems that are diametrically opposed. Yours is an item enchantment, but I'm in control of the Ming School! Or rather"
"Human Enchantment!!"
The four magisters were shocked and blurted out on the spot, "Human body enchantment?!" ”
"Shut up!" Seeing that these four people were so embarrassed, Xie Feng couldn't wait to go up directly and slap one of them. Are you surprised? What are you shouting for? Don't you know that you are surrounded by forsaken people?
The four Magisters smiled awkwardly, didn't dare to make eye contact with Xie Feng's annoyed eyes, and closed their mouths. Still, they stared at Sirendis with eager eyes, eager to swallow her
Xie Feng rolled his eyes helplessly, and said to Silentis who was snickering on the side: "You are qualified!" ~~ Lift the ban on her! The latter sentence addressed the four Magisters.
In fact, when he heard the inscription, Xie Feng had already decided to keep her. He's been in this world for so long, and he's talked about most of his sub-professions, including jewelry. But Ming hasn't even seen a shadow so far~ Today, I accidentally found a clue from this high-level elf mage of Eresaras
Although this prohibition was difficult to set up and required considerable physical strength, it was much easier to unravel, and the four magisters came to Sirendis's side and randomly punched a few magic handprints on her body, and the prohibition was lifted.
Sirendis felt the majestic mana flow in her body, exhaled comfortably, and then asked Xie Feng suspiciously: "You're not afraid that I will regret it?" If you make trouble in the middle of a fierce battle."
Xie Feng smiled evilly: "You can try!?" He said to the four Magisters: "Unless you can kill the four of them in an instant, I will let you know what numerical superiority is!" ”
Silendis
Xie Feng continued: "You can also try to escape with the help of the Alliance. But if you fail, I'll treat you as a ** mana furnace for all the blood knights to absorb!! ”
The team continued to walk for a short time, to the north of Bodgor, once an ogre stronghold.
Here the team made one last pause, and Da Salia also called Xie Feng and Qi Niu Wang here to discuss the route and direction of the attack.
Located in the middle of the Arathi Highlands, the Valley of Refuge is, as its name suggests, a long, narrow valley that stretches longitudinally from north to south, with thin ends and a wide middle. To the south is a large road leading to Hammertown and the Sadol Bridge to the south, and to the north is Dabire Farm. With such terrain, there is only one way to sneak attack, to kill from one side and then from the other. But the question is from which side?
"Get in from the south! If you choose the north, it is easy to alarm the defenders in Dabilai's farm. A thousand men were drawn there, but the remaining 1,000 men, combined with the guards of the Valley of Refuge, would be enough to encircle us. King Qi Niu spoke first.
"No way!" Dasalia immediately retorted: "If you choose to enter from the south, you can only kill from the north, and then you will definitely be blocked by the defenders of Dabire's farm, that is the act of looking for death!" ”
"Wouldn't it be enough to make a turn halfway through?" Xie Feng wanted to test Dasalia, and asked knowingly.
Da Salia turned his head and glared at Xie Feng viciously: "It's not that you don't know the terrain of the Refuge Valley, can you easily turn your head when you get there?" ”
Xie Feng continued to talk nonsense: "Isn't it just for the front team to change to the back team, and then quit?" ”
This time, even King Qi Niu rolled his eyes: "We are going to sneak attack, not to slaughter the valley!" Once the momentum of the impact slows down, do you think we will be able to come out of it? ”
"Rush in from the northern entrance, quickly burn the Alliance's supplies in the middle of the valley and rush out from the south~~ Detour from behind Geshak Farm to Hammer Town!" Dasalia forcefully interrupted the argument between the two and made the final decision.
"Sure enough~~ This is like the decision that Dasalia should have!" Xie Feng sighed in his heart and replied without hesitation: "That's it!" Fight through the North Gate, scatter the Alliance guards there, thwart the pursuit of the defenders of Dabire's Farm, and quickly retreat from the South Gate after burning the supplies! ”
King Qi Niu didn't argue either, and nodded unusually happily: "I'll go find my brothers to prepare!" ”
