Chapter 393： orcs are coming

Although the members of the old ranger army felt that bringing a new recruit was a bit in the way, they didn't have any emotions. However, quite a few people in the mage army were not in a good mood. There were only 180 places to enter the front line, and there was fierce competition among them.

Most of these mages don't want to stay at the end, the five-element formation that guards the waist of the gourd. After arguing and arguing, the leading officer finally had to let them draw lots to decide.

How could an elegant mage be so belligerent? This was something that Habayashi Blood Eagle did not expect.

During the exercise, the ranger mage proposed various hypothetical methods and means of attacking the orcs. After hearing Habayashi Bloodhawk's statement that the dwarves were good at dealing with hellfire, most of the officers strongly demanded that at least 50 wildhammer dwarf griffin knights come to help. to deal with possible emergencies.

They think that other demons are nothing, but stone-like things like hellfire and voidwalker are a bit troublesome. Since they are almost immune to disease and poison, it can be troublesome if there are too many orcs summoned.

Habayashi Blood Eagle agreed to the request and sent a griffin guard to talk to Mezdra. Without further ado, Mezdra sent 100 Wildhammer dwarf griffin riders over.

The Wildhammer dwarf griffin rider took the griffin to rest a mile behind the little gourd belly. After transporting the children back and forth for a few days, the griffin was very tired. Although it basically recovered after two days of rest, it would be better if it could rest for a while. Just let them rest for a while.

Halfway through the rehearsal, the rangers and mages thought that three emergency rescue legal teams should be set up in each of the three five elements of the big gourd belly.

They thought that they faced more orcs this time, and the ranger veterans were also responsible for leading the recruits. If the rescue was not enough, the mage emergency team could cast a magic shield on the recruits, which could block the fatal blow, and also bought time for the veterans to rescue the recruits .

Or in case the formation is cracked by the orcs, the large-area coverage of the three mage squads can also buy enough time for everyone to evacuate. Regarding this point, Habayashi Xueying thought about it and agreed.

In this way, there are only 330 mages with the gourd waist in the small gourd belly defense. However, for a defense zone defending such a narrow area, more than 300 mages are really extravagant and luxurious enough.

He believed that the requirement to set up three squads of mages in each formation must have been set up by the old rangers who could not withstand the strong demands of the militant mages. But he also admitted that the formation of these veteran rangers and mages with rich combat experience was much better and more thoughtful than his own.

Anyway, this time the power has been delegated, so they can deploy as they like! He only participated in learning, how to arrange troops, how to retreat, how to cover, how to attack and chase, how to cooperate with various arms, and so on.

Habayashi Blood Eagle has been participating in rehearsals between various formations, and has also benefited a lot during the period. Two days is really not a lot, and it is just enough for the recruits and veterans to get along better, and there is not much cooperation, let alone a tacit understanding.

In the early morning of the third day, the grass blades were still covered with thick dew, and the soldiers were rehearsing again. After about an hour, the owl ranger came to report that the orc forward would arrive in about an hour.

The officers asked the soldiers to rest in place for 20 minutes according to the allocated places. After 20 minutes, they began to apply poison to the iron needles and caltrops.

Tribulus terrestris does not need to be placed in advance, and the poison is only used for emergency use after application. The poisonous needles were not completely used up, and only two-thirds of all the poisonous needles were used.

The rangers said that if the orcs broke through this line of defense, they would retreat a certain distance and find a suitable place, and they could deploy again without being chased by the orcs.

The formation of the veterans is much better than that of the previous recruits. The formation should be dense, and the formation should be sparse. It is patchwork without appearing complicated and messy.

The veterans said that it is not good to be too complicated. When soldiers are sometimes in critical situations in battle, they often have no time to think so much, so they will easily step on the traps they set. Mess is even worse, as effective command cannot be formed, and soldiers are easily at a loss in the formation.

Because this time we are fighting the enemy in the five-element formation, there is no need for an overly complicated design. If it is to set up an formation to block the enemy when retreating, and there is no one of your own in the formation, then it needs to be more complicated and messy.

An hour later, the orcs reached a distance of 1 kilometer from the big gourd belly. Naturally, the vanguard of five or six hundred people came first, and retreated hurriedly when they saw the elves waiting in line.

The orcs who transferred from the swamp did not have many cavalry. In the vanguard of 600 people, there are only about 20 wolf riders. They ran back to report to the main force first, and the others slowly retreated a long distance and defended in place.

Not long after, the orc army arrived. The movement speed of this group of orcs is not too slow. According to the report of the Griffin Knights, their method of breaking the mines and fishing nets is very simple and very rough.

They were not as reluctant to use soul shards as the wolf cavalry, they used it, and they used it not too little. Every time they encountered a minefield, they summoned one or several demons called Voidwalkers to detonate the mines in the minefield, and then the orc infantry gathered up all the fishing nets and threw them into the roadside swamp and quagmire.

Of course, along the way, they also saw many traces of wolf cavalry detours. The orc leader leading the team was still laughing at the stupidity of the wolf cavalry. Now there are 6 void walkers in their team following them.

When they reached the big gourd belly and saw so many elves, UU reading www.uukanshu. com was surprised. Their first feeling was that the Wolf Cavalry Wing was finished! Because apart from the traces of battle on the ground, not a single orc or warg was found.

The corpses of the orcs who died in battle had long been sunk by the elves into the deep quagmire on the side of the road, and those dead wargs were skinned by the elves and then roasted and fed to their pets.

Although these new poisons are powerful, the toxins in them will be decomposed after being heated on fire for a long time, turning them into non-toxic edible pieces of meat. Although the elves still dare not eat it, dire wolves, cheetahs, tigers, and owls all eat it.

Nearly a thousand dead wargs made the pets full. But the visceral elves still didn't dare to feed them, so they were also packed and sunk into the pond.

As for whether there will be a plague in the future, the blood eagle doesn't care. Anyway, this battle will take several years, and he only needs to transport the Wildhammer dwarves to Hinterland. Said it didn't make much difference.

Besides, the Elven Expeditionary Legion also wanted to march towards Arathi, and he was not very willing to stay in Proudmoore to participate in the defense of Menethil. If the plague really happened, maybe this section of the plague-infected area would help Proudmoore's allies block the orcs' advance.
