Chapter 52: War and Peace
The four leaders of the tribe, except for Grom Hellroar, who was sent by the Great Chief Thrall to the side of the Ash Valley to collect war supplies mainly wood, Thrall, the Minotaur chief Kane Bloodhoof, and the Darkspear Clan troll Vorking led an army to the other side of the valley.
Through magic, Thrall finally discovered Xu Mochao's troops.
However, he didn't see Xu Mochao and the Windrunner sisters, only the elves and humans chasing the centaurs.
But that scene alone is enough.
It was clear that this Terran force was not the one he had seen before led by Gianna.
Because the gap between the combat effectiveness of the two sides is really large.
told Kane and Woking what they had seen, and they both looked at each other.
"Didn't the girl say that all the humans who were willing to leave Lordaeron had already followed her here? How could there be other humans? β
Wojin pondered for a moment and spoke, "Chief Kane, I want to remind you that the reason why we fought with that Terran force when we first met was because we misunderstood that the other party was here to pursue you. β
"You mean ......"
After being reminded by Woking, Kane immediately reacted, "...... Are these humans here to chase us? β
He had no grudge against Woking and the humans of Lordaeron, and they both set their sights on Thrall.
I saw that Sal's expression was a little bitter, "Now it seems that they are the ...... sent by the Lordaeron Kingdom to hunt me down."
Thrall couldn't recognize every human warrior, but he still saw the Lordaeron emblem in their banners.
This is completely different from the troops led by Gianna before.
In addition, those elven troops are not like the part that has already joined the alliance, but more like the elven archers of Quel'Thalas.
As the Grand Chief of the Tribe and the son of Durotan, Thrall had heard from his father about the feuds between Quel'Salas and the Orcs and the Troll Tribe.
Back in the Troll Wars, the High Elves of Quel'Thalas joined forces with humans to defeat the trolls of the Eastern Kingdoms.
During the Second War between the Alliance and the Horde, the frontier of Quel'Salas was burned to the ground by the rampaging Orc Horde, and the hatred between the two sides was no less than that between the two sides was with the trolls.
As for Lordaeron, not to mention, they were the ones who captured the orcs into the shelter, and during the Black Tide of the Second War, they almost captured the royal city of Lordaeron.
When Thrall left the Eastern Kingdom, he rescued many orcs from the country's shelters.
The combined forces of Lordaeron and Quel'Salas had traveled thousands of miles to Kalimdor, and it was impossible to think that it would be a good thing.
The problem is that not long ago, the Prophet told them that the Eastern Kingdom had fallen completely, and that they should not have the strength to pursue them, right?
Or is it ......
Like themselves and the human alliance led by Gianna, they deliberately came here to escape?
Sal wouldn't know what the other party was here for, but in any case, he was cautious by nature and told Kane and Woking to prepare for a big battle.
On the other hand, after learning the news that another large wave of orcs was approaching, Xu Mochao smiled, "It seems that the master of this continent is very hospitable!" Don't even give us time to rest! β
Ouyang Chong smiled slightly, "Since the host is so enthusiastic, we should be more conscious as guests." β
"That's a good point, Second Commander!"
Sylvanas was stunned, and then realized that Xu Mochao was calling himself.
"What does Your Highness command?"
"This time, your second regiment will be the vanguard!"
Xu Mochao narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, he had already roughly guessed the identity of the other party, "Suspend the reception of prisoners." β
Sylvanas nodded, set it up, and then personally led the reconnaissance company to speed up first.
"Your Highness, my sister will be fine, right?"
When Sylvanas left, Wen Lesa asked Xu Mochao with some concern.
"Big husband cute big!"
Xu Mochao waved his hand, "I asked her to fight the vanguard, and I didn't say that she should be tough with others, if she feels that she can't beat her, she can withdraw at any time, not to mention that our army is in the rear." β
"Your Highness is right, Captain Wenlesa, you should also have confidence in your sister."
Hearing Xu Mochao and Ouyang Chong's words, Wen Leisa nodded and temporarily put her mind at ease.
Sylvanas' Scout Company is mainly made up of highly mobile Dragon Eagle Riders and Knights, while Sylvanas relies on Windranger's unique Wind Walk to do his job of concealment.
Soon, her reconnaissance company spotted the Horde's vanguard.
"It's ...... The frostwolf clan of the orc tribe? β
As a member of the High Elves, Sylvanas knew more about orcs than Lordaeron's humans, and recognized their identities at a glance.
"And trolls and minotaurs!"
The battle between Quel'Thalas and the trolls lasted for thousands of years, so she also recognized the Troll clan led by Woking at a glance.
As for the Minotaur......
The shape of the play accident is so obvious that a person can recognize it.
"How did they get together?"
Sylvanas was puzzled by this.
However, since she had discovered the other party and confirmed her identity, she secretly predicted it in her heart, and she came to a conclusion.
Not to mention the reconnaissance company, even if the entire second regiment is pressed up, it is not the opponent of the other party.
Although the number of the other party does not seem to be as good as the centaur just now, the military appearance and military discipline are obviously not of the same level.
Thinking of this, she instructed a team of dragon eagle knights to report the situation here to Xu Mochao in the rear, and she began to arrange the battlefield in full swing.
After some more time, the armies of orcs, which were slowly advancing, suddenly stopped advancing at Thrall's orders.
"What's wrong, Great Chief?"
Kane and Woking got the news and walked over to Sal's side together, both asking in confusion.
Salr's expression was bitter, "Kane, Woking, we've been discovered. β
"What?"
"So fast?"
Naturally, the two of them did not doubt Sal's judgment, and they were both taken aback when they heard this.
"This is elven territory, and we are not good at hiding in the first place, so it is not surprising that they found out."
"I just used perspective magic to check, and it's an Elven Ranger leading the team," Thrall took a deep breath, "Judging by her setup alone, she's been spotting us for a long time and ready for battle." β
"Great Chief, please give orders!"
"No matter what, we will fight you until the last moment!"
Kane and Woking spoke at the same time.
Thrall nodded, and immediately arranged for the whole army to prepare for battle.
"Until then...... Kane, Woking, there's one more thing I need to tell you. β
"What's the matter?"
Seeing that the war was imminent, Thrall suddenly mentioned this, and the two chiefs were a little surprised.
"Actually, just before I decided to come here with my army, I had already sent a messenger to Gianna and promised to form an alliance with the humans she leads. β
At this point, there was a hint of apology on his face, "I'm sorry I didn't consult with you before making this decision. β
To Saar's surprise, Kane and Woking were not surprised.
"Great Chief, I have long said that my clan will always follow you since you saved us from the danger of being wiped out by the centaurs, no matter what you decide."
Wojin even said, "As long as you're in the tribe for a day, the troll will always be a member of the tribe." β
The words of the two best friends touched Sal very much.
"As much as the Horde and the Alliance have great hatred, I want humans to live in peace with the orcsβeven if it's just out of my own selfishness."
Sal spoke, and was about to continue explaining, but was stopped by Kane, "Great Chief, you don't have to say so much, as long as it's your decision, we will support it." β
Woking nodded in agreement, "So, give the order!" β
"Good!"
Thrall nodded heavily, and he quickly summoned the two wolves, gave them an order, and let them go.
Looking at the distant backs of the two ghost wolves, Sal said slowly:
"I have brought my sincerity to the general, and now I hope that the elf will not spoil this precious peace by pride and prejudice."
Kane and Woking nodded at the same time, both of them being brave and strong fighters, but also tired of years of fighting.
If there is an opportunity to achieve peace, they are willing.
It's just that......
"I'm afraid the other party won't accept it......"
Just as Sylvanas was setting up the battlefield, the Dragon Eagle Knight, who was in charge of reconnaissance, sent a signal of vigilance.
Sylvanas bent his bow and got into battle at the first moment.
After a while, the commander of the reconnaissance company appeared in her sight.
Unexpectedly, it was not the highly mobile bipedal wyvern and wolf cavalry of the orcs that appeared with the company commander, but two purple giant wolves.
"What's going on?"
The commander of the reconnaissance company was a knight, and when he heard Sylvanas's words, his expression was also a little strange, "Commander, according to the translator, these two ghost wolves were summoned by the shaman prophet of the orcs and came with 'sincerity'!" β
Since the languages of the various races are not compatible, the profession of translator is still needed to communicate between the two sides.
"They're ghost wolves?"
Sylvanas, the ghost wolf, is no stranger to them, just like the water elemental summoned by the human archmage and the skeleton warrior summoned by the undead necromancer, they are all elemental creatures, and are often used for reconnaissance and taking damage.
Although the languages of the various races are different, the translation is originally the elven family's strength, and it is not difficult to understand the purpose of the ghost wolf.
Just hearing that the other party was coming with "sincerity", Sylvanas's expression was also a little strange, just like the commander of the reconnaissance company.
