Chapter 365: When the soldiers are approaching the city, feng shui takes turns
When Zurkin was lured into an ambush by Anastria during the Battle of Quel'Thalas, the forest trolls besieging Silvermoon City were immediately scattered.
After the Troll War, the trolls of the forest were on the wane, especially the Amani clan near Quel'Salas.
The suzerainty clan of the forest trolls has long been unable to make a decision, and Zulkin has only united many forest troll clans under his command by promising to give him a distribution of benefits after defeating Quel'Thalas.
With the fall of Zurkin, the male lord known as the hope of the forest trolls, the great clan of forest trolls such as Deadwood, Evil Branches, and Rotten Moss did not hesitate to abandon the Amani clan and fled back to their respective territories without looking back.
The small clans such as the Fire Tree and the Burning Thorn continued to follow the tribe to fight in all directions, and were defeated with the tribe in the Armageddon of the Burning Plains, and fled to the Black Stone Tower for refuge in a hurry.
These small clans of forest trolls later became the "true tribe" chieftain of Red Black Hand, and were also enslaved by Nefarian, the crown prince of the Black Dragon.
The Deadwood Clan is battling the kingdom of Stormgard in the Arathi Highlands, and the trolls of Hinterland are too busy battling the Hammer Dwarves to aid Amani.
Located in the northern part of Eastern Tirisfa, near the entrance to the Eternal Song Forest, the Rotten Moss Clan is ready to help.
However, their station, Zumashal, has been closely monitored by the rangers guarding the gates of Salas, and any disturbance will be reported to the ranger general Sylvanas as soon as possible.
Ensuring that there is no external support is one of the reasons why the Sun King decided to attack Zuaman.
Another reason has to be mentioned is the infighting of the Amani clan.
Even as an enemy, Quel'Salas had to admit that Zulkin was the first male lord of the forest trolls to emerge in a thousand years.
Having lost Zurkin, the leaderless high-ranking members of the Amani clan were not convinced by anyone, and fought for the position of new chieftain.
Unlike Zandalara's group of urban trolls who entered civilization early, the forest trolls who were ridiculed by Zandalar as countrymen have more primitive customs, and have always emphasized respect for the strong.
The blood of Zuljin was severed, and theoretically, anyone from the Amani clan was eligible to compete for the position of chieftain.
In the end, only six people definitively stepped up to join the race: Gayale, the dragon eagle priest, Nalorrak, the bear priest, Ekilsson, the eagle priest, Harraz, the bobcat priest, Malakas, the sorcery lord, and Dakara, the overseer.
They were the six men in power of the Amani clan, and as soon as Zulkin died, the suppressed ambitions of these people immediately began to swell, and they all wanted to seize the supreme chieftaincy.
Months earlier, Anastria had decided to use troops against Zuaman, and he had sent the thieves of Backlight Blade to the vicinity of Zuaman to scout for information.
Zuaman's large, voodoo-reinforced wooden gate was kept shut, and the mossy walls were patrolled by headhunters.
The defeat and infighting had a great impact on the overall strength of the Amani clan, and their patrols were barely sufficient in peacetime.
However, under the high-intensity reconnaissance of the High Elves intending to start a war, the Backlight Blade elites still obtained some useful information.
After listening to the information, Sarian had a thought.
Rats leave a sinking ship.
After more than two years of fighting, the situation in Zuaman became clear, and the Overseer Dakara gradually gained the upper hand.
If he is allowed to continue to consolidate his influence, it will be another 1-2 years at most, and Amani will be reunited and cause constant problems for Quel'Thalas once again after he recovers.
Anastria did not want to leave this trouble to Kael'thas, who was about to ascend to the throne and lacked governing experience, and decided to seize the last chance of the opponent's infighting before he abdicated, and completely wiped out Zuaman.
When the Morning Striker Legion was activated under the guidance of the Silver Wolf, the Ranger General Sylvanas also gave the order at the right time.
"Siege crossbow fired! Break through that voodoo gate! ”
"Arcane golem activated! Follow the Morning Striker into the door! ”
Quel'Thalas's siege weapon is a self-propelled magical ballbow with wheels.
These giant crossbows have been modified to conform to the characteristics of the High Elves, and the huge crossbow arrows can be infused with the magic of the sunwell, which is very powerful.
Under the orders of Sylvanas, more than a dozen siege crossbows lined up in front of the Zuaman Gate were fired at the same time.
"Boom! Rumble! ”
The crossbow bolts slammed into the walls and gates with a dull thud, and the gates, strengthened by voodoo spells, were sturdy, still strong under the heavy blows of many crossbow arrows, but some cracks were beginning to appear in the doors.
The Amani trolls, who were busy fighting themselves, only realized that something was wrong when the siege crossbow was pushed out, but the High Elves were attacking too fast before they could react further.
Seeing that the siege crossbow failed to break through the city gate, the high-speed sprint of the Sarren accelerated explosively again, opening up a short distance from the knights behind him.
"Suck ~"
The giant wolf tilted its head slightly as it ran, and the bright light quickly converged into his large, fanged mouth.
"Whoa!!"
In a way that spewed dragon breath, the huge silver wolf spat out a bright silver pillar of light at the city gate.
The power of the wolf god Godring bombarded the city gates.
The already crumbling voodoo gate was finally breached, and the troll warriors behind the door screamed as they were knocked away by the castrated pillar of light, and their severed limbs were scattered all over the ground.
The giant wolf in Sarean's form rushed through the gate first, and the tattered gate was completely opened, and the Morning Striker followed without slowing down, and this torrent of steel poured into Zuaman one after another.
Running at the front, Sarean could see at a glance the chieftain's platform in the deepest part of Zuaman, with a road leading to the end.
A moment ago, they were busy beating each other, and Amani Trolls only now panicked and put out the rejection horse.
"Blade Formation, Assault!"
The Arrow Formation, as the name suggests, looks like an arrow ready to attack, and is an offensive formation.
Compared with the more aggressive Fish Scale Formation, the Blade Array does a better job of protecting the two flanks, which can be regarded as both offensive and defensive, and the only weakness is the tail of the formation.
However, it is basically impossible for a cavalry to be backstabbed from behind, and this weakness can be ignored.
The hastily placed rejection horses did not play any role at all in front of the already speeding Morning Striker Legion.
Under Liadrin's command, the paladins in a sharp array released holy light in unison, like an arrow composed of golden light, frantically advancing along the chaotic central avenue of Zuaman, violently knocking people and objects in their way away.
The tonal light blocked the incoming spells and arrows, crushing the battle line to the steps of the chieftain's platform.
"Change formation, Fang Yuan!"
The horsepower charge was limited, and the rush of the Amani trolls was finally exhausted by the rush of the Amani trolls.
Under Sarjan's orders, the paladin, who had slowed down, quickly changed his formation, transforming the sharply spaced array into a dense square circle.
This is a typical defensive formation, the knights in front have dismounted and retracted their rifles, taken out one-handed weapons and shields, and the paladins of the Chinese army have also blessed the comrades in the front row with sacrifice blessings and shared the damage they have suffered.
Before Quel'Thalas attacked, Overseer Dakara had a premonition about the recent disturbances in the forest.
He appealed to the other priests and lords of witchcraft, calling for a temporary halt to infighting among themselves and to unite against the impending external enemy.
As it turned out, Dakara as a military commander was right about his sensitivity to the war.
It is a pity that not everyone is Dakara, and his appeal did not go unnoticed by everyone.
When the Morning Striker entered the city, except for Dakara, only Nalorak and Malakas answered the call to join the chieftain's platform, and the other three were busy intriguing.
Since the Morning Striker Legion had only recently been secretly formed, Dakara had no idea that the High Elves had raised a cavalry force with incredible impact.
With mental calculation or unintentionality, a number of unfavorable factors were superimposed, which caused Amani Troll's defense to collapse at the touch of a button, and he was directly attacked in front of the chieftain's platform.
Dakara gritted his teeth anxiously: "Damn! was actually attacked into the core by the enemy in one fell swoop...... Nalorak and Malakas, lend me your forces! Fight off the High Elves before we talk about anything else! ”
