Chapter 552: A Difficult Battle Situation
The battle in the Forest of Crystal Song began earlier than Zudak, and when Sylvanas received a report of the battle from his younger brother Rath, the Dhakalai trolls, who had slowed down their attack, began to attack again.
Sylvanas and others, who were guarding the battlefield on the Eastern Front, had previously encountered the troll Loa on the battlefield, but usually only one Loa appeared on the battlefield at any one time, and most of the time they did not work and hid behind them.
Sylvanas's combat experience is not as rich as that of his mother Liresa, but he has also grown up with actual combat training since childhood, and his ability to read the whole situation is far higher than that of Liadrin, who is a halfway monk.
It was incomprehensible to her that the trolls of Dhaka had slowed down their attack, these ice trolls still had the confidence to continue the attack, but they stepped on the brakes in the middle of the road, and anyone with a little brain could guess that they wanted to do something.
At first, Sylvanas thought that Dhaka was trying to convince all Loa to come together and launch a general assault on the increasingly fortified walls.
Sylvanas was half right.
During the time of retreat, the Dhakarlai trolls did try to encourage all Loa to attack together.
But creatures like Loa, who were born and raised, wouldn't be so easily controlled by trolls, they had their own ideas.
For the sake of the trolls' many years of worship, Loa is willing to help when necessary, but that doesn't mean they'll follow the trolls' instructions completely.
Unless the Dhakarlai trolls intend to tear Loa apart and let the priests plunder their power, it is unlikely that Loa, who are accustomed to going his own way, will abide by the rules of the army that are forbidden by the order.
Frost trolls with a tendon don't have that many twists and turns, their ideas are simple.
Do your best to recapture the fortress of Daxalon, if you really can't do it, you can only give up, retreat to the next best thing, and find a way to continue the attack on Grizzly Hills from other directions.
Persimmon is always a soft pinch.
I can't mess with the High Elves, and I can't handle the bear monsters.
The arrival of the Zandalar envoys pointed the way for the trolls of Dhaka to take another path.
Wait.
As it turned out, Zandalara's plan was correct.
The situation on the battlefield in Northrend is very delicate, and the most powerful Iron Legion has been standing still, trying to fish in troubled waters and watch the tiger fight.
Zandala suggested that Dhaka take the initiative to show weakness and temporarily withdraw from the front line of the battlefield, assuming a posture of long-term confrontation.
High Elves and Frost Trolls fighting each other was the situation Lorcan wanted to see the most, and once the two sides ceased fighting, Lorcan couldn't sit still.
Zandalar was right.
Taking advantage of the High Elves of the Crystal Song Forest to place the main force in Zudak on the Eastern Front, Loken ordered the Iron Legion to attack with all its might.
He hoped that the Iron Army would be able to defeat the High Elf defenses left behind in the Crystal Song Forest in the shortest possible time, and destroy the new city that was being built under his nose.
However, the High Elves' defenses were somewhat unexpected.
He had thought that the elite Iron Legion would be able to take down the Crystal Song Forest in a few days, but in reality, it was not that simple.
With the power of the Sunwell, which was channeled from the Eternal Song Forest through the Dream Network by the Tree of Life, Sasala, the city of New Shandara held up a strong barrier.
The Iron Legion launched lightning cannons and bombarded them wildly for several days, but the enchantment was still able to maintain normally, but the color of the surface became a little darker.
After all, it is not a direct conduction, and the energy of the solar well has a certain loss and delay in the process of long-distance transmission, and it cannot be as indestructible as the real Bandi Norrell Enchantment.
Now, the three warring parties are in a rather awkward situation.
Dhakalai, who had planned to take advantage of the chaos to take the city wall, failed to open the situation quickly, and Lorcan's quick attack tactics did not work, and the battlefield on both fronts fell into a stalemate.
The High Elves are not having a good time here, either.
At the same time, facing a strong attack on the two-front battlefield, it can barely resist in a short period of time with the preparations and fortifications made in advance, and if the time is stretched a little longer, there is a risk of collapse of the defense line on both sides.
Sylvanas couldn't take care of the situation in the Crystal Song Forest for the time being, so she could only focus on dealing with the general attack of the trolls from Dhaka.
Fortunately, there will not be more than 2 Loa who appear on the battlefield at the same time, and they can cope with it for the time being at this stage.
Like a sharp golden arrow, the Morning Striker was leading the way through the enemy under the leadership of Liadrin.
It's not the first time that the Dhaka Trolls have faced the charge of the Morning Striker.
But as the so-called trick is fresh, eat all over the world.
The Morning Striker Legion, made up of hexagonal paladins, is really not that easy to target.
Once they were allowed to use their speed advantage to rush up, even Loa did not dare to stand on the route of the army and resist head-on.
With the assistance of ranged suppression by the rangers and Magisters, the siege force from Dhaka was shattered by the Morning Striker.
As pointed out by the cavalry troops, even the long-range poison-spewing wind snake Loasalonya could only retreat.
It's a pity that Sylvanas doesn't have enough troops on his hands, and if he takes advantage of the situation to cover up, there is a greater chance that he will defeat Dhaka's attack in one fell swoop, which will greatly damage their morale.
Even so, this round of charge of the Morning Striker Legion made Dhaka disgraced, and he could only temporarily retreat to avoid the battle.
Unicorns are tall and strong in the magic of the sunwell, but they are also mortal after all.
The paladins are all plate monsters, and their own armor and weapons alone are very heavy, not to mention the thick armor on the horses.
The heavily armed Morning Striker can ensure their own safety to the greatest extent, but they can not withstand the strongest war horses in several consecutive rounds of all-out sprints.
"Whoo~Whoo~"
Liadeline's beloved horse was already panting, and the other paladins' mounts were in similar shape.
"It's time to go back."
Looking at the retreating remnants of Dhaka, Liadeline sighed regretfully.
"The front formation becomes the back formation, a long snake, an orderly retreat!"
"Yes!"
……
On the battlefield of the Crystal Song Forest, as Sarren's elite squad stood out, the artillery position of the Iron Legion that was caught off guard was shattered.
Without the constant bombardment of lightning shells, the continuous magic of the Sunwell began to slowly repair the enchantment of New Shandara City.
"Oh~"
Shaking off the metal shards stained with his claws, and looking at the retreating army of steel, the bear-like Sarlian tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled hideously.
"After a few days of hard work, once back to the pre-war period."
A defensive barrier like Bandi Norrell (pseudo) that can be continuously charged is almost impossible to break through with conventional tactics if it is not forced to overload the barrier with saturated fire coverage in one go.
Unless Lorcan takes action personally.
If that coward really dares to leave Ulduar and come to the front, Sarian will immediately close the door and let the dog go, desperately summoning the Dragon Legion and Azadath to kill this guy outside.
It's a pity that Lorcan has been cautious all his life, and even if the front line is defeated, this guy still sits firmly on the throne of his temple, and he has made up his mind not to move.
Coincidentally, the High Elves on both fronts of the battlefield forced back the enemy army almost at the same time, and the battlefield temporarily returned to calm.
After retreating to the city of New Shandala, Sarian and his party belatedly greeted Lord Lin Yu, and Lailas, who was already a little unable to raise his hands, also followed him.
"It's good you guys arrived in time."
Bode Lin Yu still had a lot of thoughts: "I thought I was going to be unable to hold it, those cannons...... We just can't afford to tear it down. ”
Saryan patted Lord Lin Yu on the shoulder in understanding: "The troops are insufficient, and it is not easy to defend to this extent. ”
Bode Lin Yu's father was also a meritorious general who participated in the battle of trolls, and only a generation later, the children of the Lin Yu family did not fall so quickly.
Thanks to Lord Linyu's command Ruoding, the city of New Shandara was not breached by Lorcan's blitzkrieg.
Bode Lin sighed: "I finally lived up to His Majesty's trust in Kael'thas, but ......"
"Hmm."
Noticing Lin Yu's solemn gaze looking outside the city, Salian nodded solemnly.
"This is just the beginning, it's hard to move, and the good-looking Loken won't give up so easily."
Lin Yu asked worriedly, "What should I do after that?" ”
"The Eastern Front battlefield can't draw reinforcements, and Kurtilas is also tied up in the Howling Fjord, and it will be difficult to hold off the attack of the Iron Army for a long time with the strength of the new Shandara City."
"Don't panic."
Salian patted Lin Yu on the shoulder: "I'll pull the support...... By the way, how is the tunnel to Dongyong Lake dug? ”
Lin Yu's eyes flashed with meaning, and Salian immediately understood.
"Let's not mention this yet, let's talk about it in detail in your office."
