Chapter 469： The brain is sick!

But there is no such thing as a path, the leader of the orcs received a happy report from his subordinates at noon today.

A small team of orcs found a small path behind the quarry, and they walked up the mountain along the path and found that it was actually a small highland plain in the middle of the Juiling Mountains.

This small plain is a long and narrow valley surrounded by mountain peaks, and to the south is a cliff-like staircase with the mining field, with a drop of at least more than 100 meters.

So far the team has only ascertained that there is only one winding and steep path leading to it. The orc generals all believed that the fortifications currently under construction in the quarry should be abandoned and moved to the small plain on the top of the mountain behind.

In this way, only a small amount of troops can defend the rugged mountain road. At the same time, deploying archers on the peaks around the valley can also prevent the flying troops of the elves, so that the large troop of orc soldiers can rest safely in the valley. up.

The orc leader agreed with his subordinates, but he thought that the construction of fortifications in the quarry could not be stopped now, but should continue to confuse the elf flying troops. Until night, under the cover of darkness, the large army quietly turned into the small highland plain.

After the large troops entered the highland and small plain, all the troops who built the fortifications of the quarry immediately abandoned the quarry position and entered the trail, and quickly climbed to the small plain on the top of the mountain.

The opinion of the orc leader has been recognized by his subordinates, and has also been implemented by the orcs.

Since the order was issued, when the orc soldiers saw the elf flying troops who were bored a few times before, they no longer felt bored, but instead had a lot of molesting elements.

And the elf troops in the sky seem to cooperate very well, rewarding them with a ball from time to time. Although the bombs were not very accurate due to flying too high, one or two unlucky ghosts would suffer from it from time to time.

The luck of these unlucky eggs can really be said to be unlucky, because most of the unlucky eggs were accidentally injured. The elf flying troops often aimed at a to drop the bomb, but because the flying altitude was too high, when the bomb landed, it often hit the unlucky b.

Some unlucky ghosts just wanted to go out to make fun of it, but before they made a molesting move, they were accidentally injured by the bomb that was originally aimed at who they didn't know.

The behavior of the orcs who ran out of my body to molested the elf flying troops was a good explanation of what it means to be idle, and the unlucky ones who were accidentally injured explained brilliantly what it means to be shot while lying down.

Of course, the probability of being shot is actually not very high. So the orcs didn't have many casualties, and the results of the elf griffin riders were really not very good. For both sides, this moment is actually almost like a game.

The ground troops led by Alleria and Daelin rested in the dry land for two days. After the arrival of the human heavy cavalry and heavy infantry from Menethil City, all the troops set off again.

The elf expeditionary legions are all equipped with chocobo mounts, while human soldiers are equipped with horse mounts, but only paladins and heavy cavalry, but their share in the entire human army is very small, a large number of human light and heavy infantry There are no mounts, so it also seriously affects the speed of marching.

All the way from the temporary camp of the Allied forces to the quarry occupied by the orcs is dry land. When marching together in the swamp, the difference between the elf army and the human army did not make people feel much difference, but after arriving in the dry land, the difference between the two armies immediately became apparent.

The elf troops with mounts always marched a short distance every day, and had to stop and camp to rest and wait for the human army. Due to enough rest time, the elf expeditionary army, whether elves or mounted land soldiers, was always full of energy along the way. In contrast, most human troops marching on foot always seemed a little tired.

The Elven Expeditionary Corps is not in a hurry, and Aurelia herself is not in a hurry either. This kind of marching speed, which is almost like a picnic, made all the soldiers of the Elven Expeditionary Legion feel very relaxed.

But the elves are not in a hurry, but the commander of the human army, Dai Lin, and his generals are in a hurry.

Because according to the information from the elf griffin knights, although the orcs in the mining area are building fortifications as usual, the griffin knights who have been bombing and harassing these days have discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, the mining There are fewer and fewer orcs in the field, and a large number of beasts seem to have disappeared suddenly. At present, the Griffin Riders are also expanding their search range.

Alleria had guessed what was going on, but she wouldn't say it.

Daelin certainly didn't know what was going on, but he was the king of the Proudmoore Kingdom, and the wetlands were his territory, so he was relatively clear about the geographical conditions of his one-acre three-point land.

Dai Lin quickly opened the map of the mining area, and a group of human officers gathered around to look at it for a while.

"There is a long and narrow valley behind the quarry, have you gone there to investigate?" Dai Linlin asked the elf griffin knight who had sent the information.

"It's impossible to scout there! The last few days have been filled with thick fog. Unless you land, you won't be able to see much," said the Griffin Knight.

"Dense fog? Morning?" Daelin asked.

"All day!" said the elf griffin rider.

"If there is not so much dense fog there, then these dense fogs should be the fog of war cast by the remaining orc shamans. And there is a valley, and the magic power required by the shaman to maintain the dense fog magic does not need much. Unlike It needs a large area like that outside the city of Menethil." Alleria said: "The peaks on all sides of the valley can also block the wind, so the thick fog of war is not easy to dissipate."

"Your speculation is very reasonable!" Daelin nodded and said, "Can you please order the elf griffin knight to investigate there, I know it is dangerous."

Alleria looked at the Griffon Knight.

The Griffin Knight nodded slightly and said: "We tried our best to go over to scout, but the fog is too thick, at most we can only confirm whether there are orcs inside, as for the others, we are powerless. Because we only have two hundred so it is impossible to know everything clearly in a valley full of mist."

"In that case, thank you very much!" Daelin thanked the Griffin Knight.

Gryphon Rider nodded and left.

"Go to investigate? You're out of your mind!" Sylvanas said after hearing what the Griffin had reported back, "No! We don't need to go there to take risks. You go back and tell them that the orcs are up there, just say We've checked it out."
