Chapter 234: The Arathi Basin

Since Stormwind reinforcements had just arrived in Arathi and were not yet familiar with the battlefield, Senior Commander Halver Wimbane spent the next few days in no hurry to throw his troops into the battlefield, but instead explained the local situation to his men first.

So Celestine and others also took the opportunity to learn about the situation in the Arathi Basin.

The Arathi Basin, located deep in the Arathi Highlands Mountains, is a basin structure that runs from northwest to southeast, with Torbain Hall, the base of the Alliance, located in the northwest corner, and the base polluter hall of the Horde in the southeast corner.

Starting from Torbain Hall, the first stronghold encountered is the beast pen, which is the choke point for the Alliance base to get out, if you don't take this place, then the Alliance army can only be blocked by the tribal army, and you can't get out at all.

There are three paths through the corral, north, middle and south.

The north road goes down into a lowland, which is the second stronghold mine; In the middle, cross a stone bridge to the central island, where the stronghold of the blacksmith shop in the center of the entire battlefield is located, which extends in all directions and has always been a battleground for soldiers; The south road leads up to a hill where the fourth stronghold, the lumberyard, is also the vantage point of the entire battlefield, overlooking the entire area.

The above-mentioned northern, central, and southern roads will eventually converge to the stronghold farm in the southeast, and the strategic position of this area is similar to that of the beast pen, which is the exit of the polluter's hall at the tribal base, as long as the farm is stuck, then the tribal army can be blocked back!

Of course, for the current alliance army, the five strongholds in the Arathi Basin are all occupied by the Polluter Legion, and they are in a state of blockade, and they must first recover the beast pen before they can be qualified

After talking about the counterattack, so High Commander Halver Wimbane planned to hit the pen first.

It was supposed to be like this.

However, after Celestine learned about the above, he said to his team, as well as to dozens of other city warriors around him:

"Can we go straight across the battlefield and take over the farm after the war starts? As long as you capture the farm, you can cut off the connection between the tribal base and other strongholds."

Obviously, Celestine didn't know why he said this, after all, the five strongholds were in the hands of the tribe, and it was impossible to cross the battlefield and occupy the farm strongholds.

And yet that's how interesting it is.

Remember?

Stormwind's reinforcements are divided into two parts: regular army and recruited warriors, and if it were a regular army, they would definitely not follow Celestein's advice, because it would be suicide.

But the warriors are different.

The so-called warriors are actually the adventurers in Stormwind who are eager to get ahead, and these guys are all ruthless characters who lick blood from the knife edge, and dare to fight for their lives.

Selestin's plan is indeed dangerous, but if it succeeds, it can turn the tide of the Battle of Arathi in one fell swoop, how much credit is that, and what is the reward?

Give it a go, the bicycle becomes an aircraft carrier, and the glory and wealth of the second half of your life are in one fell swoop!

Two days later, on Wednesday, High Commander Halver Wimbane left Torbain Hall with Stormwind reinforcements and headed for the enclosure.

What?

What are the Alasso coalition forces doing?

They were sleeping.

It's 7 a.m., and it's still 9 a.m. before the battle......

That's right, Senior Commander Halver Wimbane's plan was to use the 996 battle of the Polluter Legion

Rule, attack them before 9 o'clock and take them by surprise.

Of course, since the members of the Polluter Legion are undead, they don't need to sleep, so when Stormwind's troops drove up to the front of the pen, the guards had already spotted them.

However, instead of organizing a defense, and instead of contacting reinforcements, the Polluter Legion sent a representative out of the stronghold and shouted at the Stormwind army:

"Hey, what are you doing? It's only 7 o'clock in the morning, it's not time to fight at all, hurry back...... Ahh

The people of Stormwind don't care what 955 or 996 you are, as long as it's an enemy, you will cut it, and this poor representative was cut down to the ground on the spot by the stormwind soldiers who rushed up.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Fortunately, the Polluter Legion is not stupid, seeing that their own people were being cut down, they finally sounded the alarm and began to organize defenses, but unfortunately it was too late, the soldiers of Stormwind City had already rushed into the stronghold and mingled with the Polluter defenders.

At the same time, Celestein, who also rushed to the beast pen, did not join the battlefield after seeing the scuffle inside the stronghold, but gathered his own team, as well as the warriors who were willing to follow him before, and said:

"Come on, let's go to the farm!"

"Good!"

In this way, Celestine led a group of warriors along the road north of the pen towards the farm.

At the beginning, Celestine and the others were still holding weapons to maintain a defensive posture, after all, they had broken into the enemy-occupied area and were likely to be intercepted by the enemy.

However, perhaps because it wasn't 9 a.m., the Polluter legionnaires they encountered along the way didn't bother with them at all, and even a few skeletons took the initiative to confront Saler

Sting and the others waved.

"Good morning."

"Well, good morning."

Seeing that the enemy had no intention of fighting at all, Celestine and the others simply put away their weapons and moved forward at full speed, and finally dared to come to the north of the farm at 8:45.

"We're here."

Celestine motioned for everyone to take a break while they watched the movement of the Polluter Legion on the farm.

There were not many polluter soldiers on the farm, only one or two hundred, and a figure in armor who looked like a captain was talking to the soldiers, to the effect that the alliance in the northwest direction did not speak martial virtues and did not attack during the battle time, which led to a crisis in the situation in the corral, and reinforcements were being organized in the three strongholds of the mines, blacksmiths and lumberyards, etc.

Although Celestine didn't understand the situation, she knew that now was the perfect time to assault the farm!

"Rush, take the farm!"

As Celestine raised her arms, dozens of warriors in the audience followed her as she charged towards the Forsaken soldiers on the farm.

"Huh?"

"What's going on?"

"Why are the Coalition people here?"

"It's 8:55, and it's not time for battle!"

"Ahh

The warriors didn't care what the Polluter soldiers were thinking, and Titus took the lead, raising a sledgehammer and smashing a soldier on the spot before he could react, followed by Diego wielding his sword and slashing another.

The rest of the warriors rushed into the stronghold and scuffled with the Polluter soldiers who had just reacted.

Because the Polluter soldiers were not prepared to rush into battle, many of them did not even put on their armor, but simply drew their short swords for self-defense, and fell to the ground on the spot, being slaughtered by the warriors of Stormwind.

meanwhile

In the meeting room on the third floor of the Consulted Hall to the southeast, the commander of the Polluter Legion, Duville the Slayer, is meeting with the Legion's senior officers, Sir Mallowville, Deeds Snowban, Martin Lindsay, and Skeletron Keldor, to discuss the situation.

"According to the news that the undead sentinel Mortis brought from the Undercity." Duville the Slaughterer took the document in his hand, slapped it on the round conference table, and said:

"The ambassador sent to Stormwind by Orgrimmar has returned, and told us that Stormwind has decided to send troops to support the Arathi Basin. A few days ago, Quartermaster Rutherfer Thun was at Torbaine Hall for a Sunday party when he was attacked by an unknown army, which is likely to be reinforcements from Stormwind."

Sir Malovell, who was on the left, spoke, "Would the green-skinned orcs of Orgrimmari be so kind as to take the initiative to tell us the truth? I don't believe it!"

"That's right."

Deeds Snowban on the right nodded in agreement, "I think the orcs want us to be deflated, and then use support as an excuse to get a piece of the resources of the Arathi Basin."

Martin Lindsay, who was sitting opposite, said, "But the five strongholds of the Arathi Basin are currently in our hands, and as long as we have the resources generated by the basin, we don't need to rely on Orgrimmar."

"For the sake of the Queen of Darkness, we must

will complete the revenge!"

Duver the Slayer said, "So we must be prepared to defend and never allow the soldiers of Stormwind to retake their stronghold!"

"Yes!"

The other legions present nodded in agreement.

But Duville the Slayer noticed the skeleton sitting on Martin Lindsay's left side

Kerdor, the Skeleton King, didn't say a word, as if he was thinking about something.

"What's wrong, Keldor?" Duville the Slayer asked.

Skeletron Keldo said, "Actually, I've been thinking about a question since we joined the Horde."

"What's the problem?"

Everyone present looked at him, and Skeleton King Keldo also paused for a few seconds before saying in a deep tone characteristic of the undead:

"We Forsaken have been able to grow to the point where we are today, thanks to the resources of the orcs, but we all know that there is a limit to this support, and the orcs cannot sit idly by and watch us grow infinitely."

"So, I'm worried."

Skeletron Kerdo spoke again, "Orgrimmar's sudden attention to the situation on Arathi's side may be a sign of their decision to intervene, and combined with the reinforcements sent by Stormwind at this time, I think the situation may be more complicated than we expected."

As soon as these words came out, the venue fell silent, and the high-ranking members of the Polluter Legion present were not fools, they all had opinions on politics and the situation, and it was obvious that Skeleton King Keldo's words were to the point.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that Duver the Slayer spoke, "In any case, for the sake of the Dark Queen's victory, we must take permanent control of the Arathi Basin, and if reinforcements from Stormwind come, then we will send them back."

"Indeed."

Skeletron Keldo agrees, saying, "As long as we can defeat the reinforcements sent by Stormwind, then there is no reason for the orcs to intervene. And now the situation is very favorable to us, we only need to hold five strongholds......

But at this moment, the door of the conference room

Suddenly pushed away, an anxious figure rushed into the conference room:

"No, it's not good."

Duville the Slayer, annoyed by the interruption of her memories, rose from her seat and confronted the man at the door:

"What's going on with Mortis? Don't you know we're in a meeting?"

The undead sentinel Mortis pointed to the window of the conference room and said, "Farm, farm!"

"Farm?"

"What happened to the farm?"

The high-ranking members of the Polluter Legion stood up and looked in the direction of the farm through the windows of the conference room, just in time to see the Polluter Banner that had been erected in the middle of the farm being cut off the rope with a sword and falling from the flagpole, and then the Lion King Banner representing Stormwind City was hung up.

"How is this possible?"

Duvel the Slayer exclaimed, "Why was the farm stronghold breached by the Alliance? Aren't they still attacking the pens!"
