"How many death knights are there?" Daelin asked.
"There are about sixty to seventy death knights, but..." Sylvanas glanced at Daelin and said, "They found a lot of humanoid skeletons in the quarry, and resurrected them into undead warriors."
"Why are there so many skeletons in the quarry?" Alleria said with a frown.
Sylvanas shrugged and shook her head in ignorance: "Perhaps Admiral Daelin will know," she said.
Alleria looked at Daelin and waited for him to explain.
At this time, Daelin finally remembered the **** scene before the quarry was abandoned, and he also understood why the orcs marched northwest instead of southwest. He believed that the large number of bones buried deep in the ground must have attracted the death knights.
He sighed, secretly blaming himself for not thinking of this: "Before the quarry was abandoned, the people who worked here were prisoners of war and prisoners, so...you know...the conditions given to them must not be very good. "Dai Lin said hesitantly.
Of course, he also knew that the so-called prisoners of war were actually the troll prisoners of war they captured in large numbers in the wetlands. There are actually very few real human prisoners, because most of these people are sent to the battlefield as death squads.
This also led to the near extinction of the troll race in the wetlands, but no one would have thought that these long-dead trolls would bring them trouble again.
Alleria and Cirvanas understood.
The so-called not so good is still a polite word to say, the real situation does not know how cruel it will be. After these prisoners of war detained here died, they would be thrown into a big pit for unified burial like throwing a rag. Over time, I don't know how many people were buried here, otherwise the death knight wouldn't be so far away and they could all feel it.
If the orcs didn't attack the city first, but went to the quarry first to resurrect all the ribs as undead before attacking the city, then it's really hard to say whose hands the city of Menethil will be in now.
Because if the orcs did not attack Menethil City for a long time, and let the death knights and undeads rage in Menethil City, even if Daelin set fire to it, it would only burn the death knights and his undead minions, and the city would be destroyed. However, the large orc army outside will be intact.
It's a pity that the orcs were too confident, and a big fire immediately reversed the situation on the battlefield. Ruling, even if the remaining orc troop fled into the mining area, there was no chance to stand up again. Firstly, time was too tight, and secondly, there were too few death knights, so the undead minions he could resurrect were still not enough to fight against the allied forces of the elf Daelin.
Fortunately for the Allies, these undead skeletons may have been buried in the ground for too long, the quality of their bones is not very good, and they don't have armor or weapons. If they were all like the dead warriors in Menethil , then there is a big problem.
"We found that the undead resurrected from the bones are very fragile and stupid, even if there are more of them, it's useless." Cirvanas said with a smile indifferently.
"If you are ready, send me a signal. When the second batch of flying troops comes over, we will do a carpet bombing first, and then you can attack." After she finished speaking, she went to ride the griffin again.
"Are you still going there?" Alleria asked.
"Yes! You can see that they are all flying back, the second wave of attack will arrive soon, I have to explain to them first." Cirvanas smiled and urged the griffin to take off.
It didn't take long for the elves to put on the armor for the pets. When the elves put on the armor for the pets and started marching, the momentum of the whole team changed completely.
Dai Da was secretly surprised, everyone said that elves were weak in melee combat, it seems that the rumors were wrong! In the last war, the Elven Expeditionary Legion cooperated with only one broken Legion of Lordaeron, and it was not without reason that they were able to hold the right-wing defense line. Although the entire army of the Jing Expeditionary Corps was wiped out in that war, their combat power cannot be ignored!
If the Windrunner sisters and Habayashi Xueying knew Dai Lin's thoughts now, they would secretly laugh out loud! The Allies don't know until now that the Elven Expeditionary Corps disappeared for such a long time, not because the whole army was wiped out, but because they helped Habayashi Blood Eagle go to Stranglethorn Valley to **** the ship.
After marching for a certain distance, the allied army saw the looming orcs on the wooden camp gate that the orcs had hastily built.
The Second Flying Corps hadn't arrived yet, and the Allies didn't launch an immediate attack. The number of orcs was small, and they didn't dare to leave the fortifications and run out to get mad, and both sides confronted each other quietly in tacit understanding.
This kind of quiet confrontation, for the two parties who are only a distance away, each experience is completely different. The Allied forces were basically relaxed. The human cavalry had already dismounted, but the orcs were extremely nervous. Perhaps when they attacked Menethil City, they never thought of such a result!
The alliance army did not let the orcs stretch their nerves for too long in such an environment. Almost an hour later, the sound of wings beating the air was heard in the sky.
About a hundred elven griffin flying troops flew over the heads of the allied forces, human knights mounted their horses one after another, and elf rangers also took out their bows and arrows. UU reading
The orcs poking their heads at the city gate saw the elf flying troops coming, and they all shrank their heads back, leaving only a lot of skeletons on the camp gate.
Alleria asked the orderly to give a signal.
After receiving the attack signal, the elf lion knights circling over the mining area, like flocks of hens laying eggs, poured down a lot of bombs at the same time, as if the bombs would explode in their hands after a while .
In just a few breaths, the Griffin Riders basically lost all the bombs they carried. All of a sudden, there was an explosion, and countless black smoke rose in the mining area.
The ten-headed Griffin Knights, who had not dropped any bombs, suddenly dropped huge bombs at the simple gate and fence house built by the orcs with logs at the entrance of the valley. Each of these specially-made bombs was at least the size of two human heads, and each Griffin Rider could only carry two at most. After the bombs were dropped, the Elf Griffon Riders all pulled up and got up urgently.
Amid more than a dozen consecutive huge explosions, the simple gate of the village that the orcs worked so hard to build and the nearby log fence were blown into countless sawdust in an instant. The elf griffin rider who dropped the bomb did not leave, but took out his bow and arrow and hovered over the mining field, sometimes diving down and shooting.
"Attack! Attack!" Dai Lin shouted loudly on his horse.
In an instant, tens of thousands of horses galloped, and the human paladins, light and heavy cavalry, drove the horses under their seats, and rushed towards the blasted gap in the orc defense line with the rumbling thunder.
"Attack!" Alleria also shouted loudly.
