Chapter 404: Stalemate

Hearing this, Maleia had to sigh: "It seems that I am going to fight one-handed for a while. ”

However, the battle in reality is much longer than Maleia imagined. Over the next month, the coalition forces and the Zermin fought back and forth at the entrance to the underground hive, forming a tug-of-war.

Whenever the coalition forces organize an attack, rush into the underground worm nest, and occupy a bridgehead, the insect beast troops of the Worm people will drill out of the ground and cooperate with the Worm troops to flank the coalition forces.

Due to the underground environment, the coalition forces were unable to use explosives such as bombs to avoid causing a landslide, so they had to rely on brave soldiers and bugs to wrestle.

Whether it is the Alliance or the Horde, the warriors are very brave, each warrior can take the corpses of dozens of bugs, but the bugs are abundant and fearless to death. Every time there is a battle, the corpses of both sides are strewn and exhausted.

This is the tactics of Sartullah, see-saw, delay, attrition.

With the resources and human (insect) population of the Worm Pullers, it is impossible for them to be enemies of the entire Azeroth, but they have powerful Old Gods, as long as they delay enough time and consume enough population and resources of Azeroth, wait until the Old Gods break out of the seal......

No, there is no need to wait until then.

According to Chartula's estimates, as long as there is a delay of three months and no major progress of the coalition forces, the so-called coalition forces with evil intentions, fighting on their own, and full of contradictions, will fight on their own.

It is true that the Zermen have been trapped in Angela for thousands of years, but that doesn't mean they are unaware of the state of the world in Azeroth.

The contradictions between the Union and the Horde, the contradictions within the Alliance, everything can be exploited.

Thinking of this, an evil smile appeared on Shaltura's face, and he also believed that he would definitely be able to hold on to the end.

And that's exactly what happened.

With the unfavorable fighting on the front, the contradictions in the rear of the coalition forces have begun to show signs of flare-up. In the high-level meeting, the tribal side accused the alliance of being unfavorable in combat, and the alliance side accused the tribal side of being too reckless and untactical.

All of the above was seen by King Sarufar, as the commander of the coalition forces, and he knew that a victory was necessary to alleviate the contradictions, but victory was not easy to say.

The information obtained from the dragons will enter a hall comparable to a standard football field at the entrance of the underground hive and through a winding tunnel, where the coalition forces have repeatedly fought with the Zermen army without progress.

What's more, there is only one way to this hall, at least for the coalition forces who can't dig tunnels, so they can't use all kinds of tactics and can only be trapped there, forced to fight a war of attrition with the zerg.

Obviously, King Sarufar understood that the Zerg Commander was aware of the contradictions within the coalition forces, so the attrition tactics he adopted were to exacerbate the contradictions and cause the coalition forces to collapse from within.

Thinking of this, King Sarufar glanced at the old general Saraka, who was still arguing with Halver, and shook his head.

"That's enough, Saraka."

King Sarufar spoke, and Saraka kept his mouth shut and glared at Halver viciously.

Bruwal, the dwarven marshal on the side, also pulled Halver and signaled the latter to calm down. Dwarves who have always been stubborn even have calm individuals.

Bruvol spoke: "Sarufar, it's not a way for us to continue to tug at the front, it's just a waste of the lives of the soldiers to consume it like this, we must break through the defense line of the Zerg." ”

Of course, Lord Sarufar understands the truth, but this is easier said than done, how to break through the defense line of the Zermen army in an underground hive where the terrain is limited, there is no air support from the dragon, and explosives cannot be used.

"I have a suggestion."

"Given the current predicament, we should probably put in all our reserves, launch a general offensive and get a decisive battle," Bruwer said. ”

Total Attack!

As soon as these words came out, not only King Sarufar, but also Halver and Saraka looked at Blewall together.

Halver, in particular, said, "Bruwall, a general offensive in our current situation?" What if it fails? ”

Salaka agreed: "It is indeed very risky, we do not have the upper hand on the battlefield. ”

But Bruwall said: "Just because we don't have the upper hand, it is also attrition to continue fighting, and it is unrealistic to wait for the dragons, and their spells do not know when they will be completed, so in this case, they can only gamble." ”

"You're a gambler."

King Sarufar commented: "It is rare for a man to launch a general attack without an advantage in a frontal battle. ”

Bruwer doesn't deny it: "I do like to gamble, and I have to bet now, unless we want to stay the same." ”

King Sarufar was silent.

In the face of the threat of the Elder Gods, the most lacking thing for the coalition forces is time, and launching a general offensive without an advantage on the battlefield will inevitably be lost once the opponent is prepared, and the coalition will be defeated. Unless the Zerg didn't anticipate a general attack on our side, they could ......

Wait, the wormmen didn't expect it!

Maybe!

King Sarufar immediately made a decision: "Bruwal, I agree with your plan, but the corresponding ......"

"I understand, orcs."

Bruvol said heartily: "Since it is my adventurous plan, then I will be responsible for it to the end, and when the decisive battle begins, I will personally lead our heroic Ironforge Warriors as the vanguard!" ”

Halver immediately looked at his old friend: "Bruwall, you don't have to ...... this"

"No, Halver."

Bruvol shows the stubbornness of the dwarves: "This is my decision, and I should carry it out." ”

Meanwhile, in the adventurer's camp, the wounded members of the Celestine squad returned.

"Welcome back, Calga."

Celestine greeted Calga and came to his camp to sit with the rest of his teammates.

Calga, whose full name is Marius Augustus Calga, is not from Stormwind, but from Lordaeron, who was previously hired by Silver Dawn to fight in the Plaguelands until Naxxramas was defeated and joined Celestine's team, where he remains until now.

In the squad, Karga has always been a different person, not only because of his fighting class as a rare warrior monk, but also because he has a strategic mind that other adventurers who only know how to punch and dash do not have.

As soon as Karga sat back next to his teammates, he said, "If I were the commander of the coalition forces, I would immediately order the coalition forces to launch a general attack." ”

"General attack?"

Whether it's Celestine, Greyfax, Evelene, or Cato Sicarius, Tetus, Caldo Diego are all at a loss for this, they are warriors who charge into battle, but they don't know much about strategy and tactics.

Karga chuckled lightly and didn't explain too much, just said, "I suggest that for the next decisive battle, we need to cooperate with some big forces. ”

Big power?

Cooperate?

Grefax immediately said: "Calga, what are you thinking, we are adventurers, mercenaries who take money to do things, we just need to follow the orders of the coalition forces." ”

However, Karga said: "It's not enough to just obey orders mechanically, we have to break the deadlock in front of us, and I believe we can do it." ”

As he spoke, Calga looked at Celestein: "Living Saint Celestein." ”

"Me?"

Celestine pointed to himself, "What's wrong, Calga?" ”

"From the first time I saw you, I knew that you must be our human hero, so I chose to join this team."

Calga continued: "So, Living Saint Celestein, tell me if you want to change the current stalemate! ”

"Of course!"

Celestine blurted out, "As a paladin who believes in the Light, it is my duty to uphold justice and defeat evil. ”

Evereni did not forget to add: "In addition, we are adventurers, and the reward is also indispensable. ”

"Yes, the reward is also indispensable." Celestine nodded in agreement.

"That's enough."

Karga stated his plan: "If you want to break the stalemate, decapitation is a necessary tactic, as long as the enemy troops lose command and fall into chaos, no matter how many people are a rabble, but the enemy commander is not stupid and will definitely stay in the deepest part of the military formation." ”

Celestine said: "Our team is too small to go to the deepest. ”

"So, we need foreign help."

"That's why I brought up the idea of working in a team with the big forces, the other adventurers," Calga said. ”

The rest of the team chimed in.

"Sounds good."

"You can think about it."

"We also don't want to be exhausted in a tug-of-war."

"If you want to fight, hit a big one!"

Greyfax immediately said, "So who are we going to work with?" Shadow Moon Wolf? ”

The Shadow Moon Wolves, although there is not much written about this article at the moment, they are the largest team of adventurers on the Alliance side of the Alliance.

What?

The name of the Shadow Moon Blue Wolf is the same as the name of a warband in the universe next door?

The author, Lao Jin, said that it was just a coincidence, ahem, just a coincidence......

However, Celestine said, "No, Greyfax, I don't like them, I always think there's something wrong with these people. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present understood.

Evelene even took the initiative to speak: "Celestein, if Michaela is still here, will you go directly to him?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Like a cat with its tail stepped on, Celestine immediately jumped up: "We have to fight, just to save Michaela!" ”

There was an "oh" sound all around, making Celestine ugly.

"Understood."

Or Calgar came out of the round: "Then let's go to Mariana's team, although they are the tribe's team of adventurers, there is no problem with their strength"

"Haha, you call me!"

Speaking of Mariana, she really came: "I brought you enchanted parchment, and ......"

The dwarven blacksmith Dantioc snorted, knowing that every time Mariana came, she came to him......

"Well, hello."

Malenia's head also poked out from behind Mariana, who had come to look for Belisarius-Kaurna's prosthetic leg.

During this time, Malenia had to fight with one hand, which made her uncomfortable, and Belisarius-Kaul had built a prosthetic leg for longer than scheduled. After all, Belisarius-Kaul is not a prosthetic engineer like Michaela.

"Malenia, I'm done, I'll get it for you."

Belisarius-Kaul walked into the tent with his calves turned, and dropped a phrase: "I have added a lot of functions to your prosthesis. ”

Sure enough, it's the style of a dwarf!

And Mariana was already eyeing the dwarven blacksmith: "Hello, Master Dentioc. ”

"Hmmm......"

Dantiok said he didn't want to speak.

At the critical moment, it was Celestine who stood up and said, "Mariana, are we good sisters?" ”

"Huh!"

Mariana looked at her good sister in front of her with alarm, and thought: This woman can't take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail me, right?

What does it mean to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain!
