The final assault was launched by Field Marshal Gavinrad himself, and by the time Gavenrad left the Overwatch with his direct troops, only a few logisticians and unimportant marginal figures remained in the huge castle looking forward to the final outcome.

And this part of the marginal characters includes the Night Elf Observation Group who came all the way from the continent of Kalimdor.

Although the Burning Legion is Azeroth...... and even the common enemies of the entire universe, but after all, they are landing in the Eastern Kingdom, and it is natural that they will be "entertained" by the local host first.

Prior to the Night Republic's reorganization, the Night Elves led by Tyrande had almost no contact with the countries of the Eastern Continent, except for the Second War of Quicksand, which was briefly cooperable.

It is impossible for a large group like the Night Elves to complete a policy U-turn in just a few years, and the thinking inertia formed by the people over tens of thousands of years is not so easy to reverse.

Malfurion's tenure as Speaker is a strong advocate for opening up the country, but there will be a process of adaptation, both for the Night Elves themselves and for the rest of Azeroth's race.

The Night Elves do dominate Kalimdor, but their influence cannot radiate across the oceans to the Eastern Kingdoms.

The arrival of the Shadow Song siblings was politely welcomed by the top brass of the coalition led by Gavin Rad, but that was all.

Since they had almost never had contact with each other before, Gavinrad allowed Garrod and Mavi to watch the war up close, but for the sake of the High Elves helping distant relatives on the other side of the sea.

Even though Garrod proved himself to be a soldier with practical actions, Gavin Rad still only gave him the name of a nominal advisor.

After all, this is not the home of the Night Elves, and it is not the turn of these strange outsiders to dictate the marching formation of the coalition forces.

After Gavin Rad led the marshal's direct guards to join the battlefield to reap the victory, Mavi, who was still standing on the top of the castle overlooking the battle situation, suddenly asked, "Garrod, what do you think of these emerging countries in the Eastern Continent?" ”

"Will they be able to come in handy in a real deathmatch against the Burning Legion and the Elder Gods?"

"Well......" Garrod muttered for a moment before replying, "It's hard to say. ”

During the Second Battle of the Quicksands a few years ago, the Night Elves briefly cooperated with the armies of the Eastern Kingdoms under the leadership of Quel'Thalas.

However, Garrod had not yet returned to the tribe, and the war was commanded by the Grand Dru Yin Malfurion Furywind.

This brief collaboration didn't really bring the two sides closer together, except for Quel'Thalas, who had a deep connection with the Night Elves, and the other countries of the Eastern Kingdoms were still very unfamiliar with these purple-skinned elven branches.

Having witnessed the battle between the Coalition and the Burning Legion, Garrod recognized the fighting spirit of the Coalition soldiers in this war.

But this less intense war alone does not determine whether they will be able to perform as well as they will continue to perform in a truly difficult war.

Yes, in Garrod's opinion, the battle against this demonic division was nothing more than an appetizer before the Burning Legion invaded in a big way.

Compared with the Burning Legion that was exhausted 10,000 years ago, this ragtag army under the command of Kazak lacks enough gold content, and can only be used for training at most.

If the combat power of this partial division is put on the head of the main force of the Burning Legion, the coalition forces of the Eastern Kingdom, which underestimate the enemy and carelessness, will definitely suffer big losses in the future.

And this is what makes Garrod puzzled.

"With the abilities that Salalian has shown over the years, I don't think he can't calculate how many troops it will cost to defeat this demonic division."

Garrod looked thoughtfully at Sarren, who was still fighting in dragon form over the battlefield: "Mobilizing such a large army to deal with a group of demonic miscellaneous armies that are not strong in combat is obviously a bit of a labor. ”

"In his own words, it's called killing chickens with a knife."

"The question is......" Garrod rubbed his eyebrows in annoyance, "Why did he do this?" Just to increase the self-confidence and cohesion of the Union Army? That's a waste of resources. ”

Garrod was undoubtedly one of the greatest military geniuses Azeroth had ever seen, but as the saying goes, no one is perfect.

In contrast to Garrod's innate sense of war and subtle commanding skills, his political sensitivity has always been low, and his personal strength has been far from that of his peers such as Malfurion, Tyrande, and Mavi.

Mavi, who had led the Watchmen for nearly 10,000 years, was better than Garrod in penetrating people's hearts, but she also had trouble understanding why Sarean had to mobilize such a large coalition of troops.

It turned out that it did not take much manpower to defeat Kazak and his army, and both Mavi and Garrod believed that this local war had an inexplicable formalistic tinge.

Hearing Garrod's questioning, Mavi bowed her head and muttered, "It's really strange, as far as I know, a rebellion of no small scale broke out at the door of Quel'Salas's house not long ago. ”

"It stands to reason that the High Elves should focus on their own doors, why should they lead the main armies of various countries to the Cursed Land to gather and abuse vegetables?"

Garrod shook his head with a wry smile: "I don't know for the time being, with what I know about Sarren, he is calculating something again, but I don't know who will be unlucky this time." ”

"You say......" As an intelligence chief, Mavi has never been afraid to speculate on people's minds from the worst angle: "Could it be that Sarean deliberately transferred the main force of Quel'Thalas away from the mainland, so that he could justifiably find an excuse for not being able to reinforce Lordaeron?" ”

Puzzled, Garrod asked, "But what is he doing here?" ”

"Lordaeron's rebellion is taking place in the Stratholme region, not far from the border with Quel'Thalas, how can he be sure that the rebels will not attack Quel'Thalas, which is so close?"

Mavi's eyes were small, and she made a bold guess without evidence: "What if the Lordaeron rebels are backed by Quel'Salas?" ”

Garrod shook his head without hesitation: "No way, you have said before that unlike the ambitious former king of Lordaeron, Terenus, Sarlian has a close personal relationship with Queen Garia, who is more diplomatic. ”

"Now that Quel'Thallas and Lordaeron are in a diplomatic honeymoon period, there's no reason for him to count on friendly neighbors at the moment when the Burning Legion invades Azeroth."

Garrod's analysis makes sense, and Mavi is not a person who is proficient in political tactics after all, and quickly abandons this "unreliable" speculation.

"I don't understand, he can't be trying to calculate our Night Elves, right?"

Mavi's words were just a joke to ease the atmosphere, and Garrod didn't take it to heart at all.

At this time, the two sisters and brothers did not realize that their unintentional words were just in the heart.

"Anyway."

Garrod turned his gaze back to the battlefield where the winner was about to be decided: "This local war still exposed a lot of problems. ”

"The hastily assembled coalition forces, though large, were seriously inadequately coordinated with each other, and Marshal Gavin Raad was unable to twist the soldiers of different countries into a single force, and most of the time fought on their own."

Garrod's assessment is right to the point.

Before the war began, Sarian intended for Quel'Thalas's new army to train with the coalition forces in advance to cultivate a battlefield understanding.

However, Marshal Gavin Rad felt that the preparation time before the war was not sufficient, and instead of hastily breaking up the various legions and forcibly putting them together, it was better to let them maintain their original formation and form their own armies.

As a result, the coalition forces were actually fighting separately when it came to actual combat, and by Garrod's standards, this hastily formed coalition force had not yet reached the passing line for joint operations.

However, this is also that Garrod's standards are too high, and it is no joke to say that there are few commanders in Azeroth dynasties who can match him, and even more extremely, there is not one.

Just because Garrod was able to quickly pinch races with very different tactics during the Battle of the Ancients doesn't mean that others can do it easily.

The two generalissimos of the League, Lothar and Tulayan, may be barely able to, but at least Gavin Rad does not have that ability.

From Garrod's point of view, Gavin Rader's performance as commander-in-chief is already remarkable, but in some respects it is not perfect.

"I heard that this war will be the battlefield swan song of Marshal Gavinrad."

Garrod turned his gaze to Gavinrad, who was old and strong on the battlefield and wielded the Holy Light: "In the case of the disappearance of the Generalissimo of the Alliance, Tulayan, I don't know who the members of the Alliance will let to replace him. ”

Ma Wei shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly: "There are so many countries and so many people in the alliance, we can always find a suitable candidate, and it is not our turn for outsiders to worry about this." ”

Garrod nodded with some concern: "I hope so, in the foreseeable 1-2 years in the future, the focus of the Burning Legion's attack should still be on the Eastern Kingdom." ”

"I wonder if the newly rebuilt coalition can withstand the endless sowing of discord and conspiracy by fraudsters."

……

The tide of battle turned out just as Garrod had predicted.

After Gavin Rad personally led the Chinese army into the battlefield, the Burning Legion, which was flanked from both sides, finally could no longer hold on.

As the badly injured and unhealthy Kazak screamed and was pierced through the heart by Onexia's claws, the morale of the demon army completely collapsed.

It will take a long time to clear out the miscellaneous soldiers who are low-spirited and just want to escape, but these are minor issues that no longer need to be asked by senior officers such as Salian and Gavinrad.

The last curtain call in his life ended perfectly, and Gavin Rad, who had no regrets, reassured himself to pass on the position of Marshal of the Stormwind Kingdom to Duke Berval Fortagen, who was in his prime.

After the basic handover of military power was completed, before dawn the next day, Marshal Gavin Rad took a few old soldiers who had followed him in the southern and northern wars for many years.

Officially retired, Gavinrad plans to return to his hometown in the Wild West, where he will end up in the countryside.

Gavin Rad is a successful patter on the ass and left, and a large mess left to the alliance after the end of the war still needs to be solved one by one.

The first thing is how to settle the Alliance Expeditionary Force that has returned to its homeland after many years.
