Chapter 479： poor overall war situation

If the orc troops who came to the main road first choose to go east along the main road and quickly attack Menethil City, the troops left behind in Menethil City will not be able to hold the city at all. Perhaps when the main force of the allied forces arrives, there There are already dead bodies everywhere, and the city has been completely occupied by orcs.

And these elves and human alliance troops here will also lose contact with the sea fleet, and the situation will become extremely difficult.

What is the reason why this orc army has no death knights? Sylvanas speculated that it was probably because the orcs needed to storm the Strait of Hormuz, so they transferred all the death knights they could.

Because of the death knight's Frost Road skill, they can run freely on the water surface on the death horse and make a quick assault. And as long as the death knights occupy the bridgehead, they only need to use a part of the death knights to open up a frosty road on the sea surface composed of huge ice floes to connect the two sides of the strait, allowing the main force of the orcs in the south of the strait to pass quickly. Strait risk.

However, there were no death knights among the orc army that entered the wetlands. For the Proudmoore Alliance army in the wetland, this is the only best news that the Wetland Alliance army has received in the past few days.

Daelin also agreed with Sylvanas' judgment very much, but Daelin didn't know that what Aurelia was most worried about was not just the orc troop that had just entered the wetland in the southwest, she was also worried about hiding in the mountain top plain. The orc remnant army.

Because judging from the current situation, the alliance army will definitely reach the main road earlier than the orcs in the southwest direction. Still, that's judgment without any drag and harassment. If all the orcs on the mountaintop plain went down the mountain to pursue and hold back the allied forces, the situation would be different.

It's also good that the orcs don't have flying troops, and long-distance communication is still very difficult for them. Otherwise, after the orcs from the two directions get in touch, the remnants of the orcs on the mountaintop plain will definitely follow and chase, trying their best to delay the return speed of the alliance army.

And the two orc legions that newly entered the wetland in the southwest will definitely enter the wetland at an accelerated rate. Under such a harsh situation of being forced from south to north, the final fate of the coalition forces is really not good. Even if they can return to Menethil City, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.

Fortunately, none of these falsehoods have yet become reality.

The remnants of the orcs at the top of the mountain seemed to be scared, or maybe they thought it would be useless to chase them out with their strength! In short, no matter what the reason is, the remnants of the orcs on the high plain in the mountains did not come out in the end, and they all stayed in the high plain obediently. This result not only reassured Daelin, but also reassured Alleria and Silva. Nas felt relieved a lot.

During this period of time, Alleria has received some news from Lor'themar on the Arathi front.

The Allied situation on the Arathi front was dire.

The defense line in the Strait of Hormuz has completely collapsed. This caused massive chaos among the Allied armies. The orcs ran rampant in Alasi, killing anyone they saw, and the armies of various countries were also confused and confused.

The wizard team led by Lor'themar, because it received instructions from Sylvanas and Alleria a long time ago. In the chaotic situation where the Allied defense line collapsed and the command system failed, he ordered the troops to drop all their luggage immediately without hesitation, and quickly retreated into the hinterland of the Kingdom of Arathi by riding a chocobo lightly loaded, and stationed in the temporary camp set up by the Allied forces in the Valley of Refuge. camp, so they didn't have much to lose.

But the losses of other countries of the Allied Forces were very heavy. It is said that only one-fifth of the original alliance army can safely retreat into the valley of refuge, and the alliance army troops of other countries were either killed or scattered everywhere.

In addition, a considerable part of the army withdrew to Stromgarde, relying on the strong walls to hold on. There are also some who simply withdraw from the borders of the Kingdom of Arathi in a big step, and head directly to South Sea Town and Tarren Mill in the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

Lor'themar believes that the reason for such a fiasco is mostly due to the complex relationship between the military composition of each country in the Allied Forces. The allied army composed of troops from several human countries is a weak point in terms of command and affiliation. Once it loses contact with the command headquarters, the troops of various countries do not know whose orders to listen to.

Alleria didn't write back to Lor'themar. She is now focusing on the wetlands. No matter how bad Arathi's situation is, she can't care about anything at the moment.

After a few more marches, Alleria and Daelin's army finally arrived at the temporary Griffon camp where Cirvanas was located beside the main road.

Cirvanas herself wasn't in the camp. In fact, there wasn't even a single elf griffin rider in the entire camp. They had all been dispatched to bomb the orc troops coming in from the southwest.

A large number of aerial bombs transported from Menethil City were poured out by the elf griffin riders during this period, and almost none remained. Now there are only 600 elven ranger guards left in the entire camp, and a large number of carriages and drivers from Menethil City.

These carriages were not for transporting bombs to the Elven Griffin Knights, but all the carriages specially dispatched from Menethil City. UU Reading They will transport the human infantry back to Menethil City. All the elves have mounts, so there is no need to take a carriage.

The 600 elven rangers and human carriage drivers who guarded the camp had prepared meals early on. The troops led by Alleria and Daelin had just arrived and began to eat after a short rest.

After the troops finished eating and rested for a while, Cirvanas' flying troops hadn't returned yet. Aurelia decided not to wait any longer. She ordered all the troops to set off and return to Menethil City.

After all the people in the Elven Griffin's temporary camp, including all the elves and humans, packed up their things, they returned to Menethil with the large force. Alleria thought that after Cirvanas led the Griffon Knights back, and saw that there was no one in the camp, she would naturally know that the main force had returned to Menethil City.

After Alleria led the troops for more than three hours, she saw a large group of griffins flying over the heads of the marching Allied troops. They didn't stop just because they saw the main force, but continued to fly in the direction of Menethil City.

Why did the Gryphon Riders take so long to catch up? Aurelia guessed that they probably took off after resting in the abandoned temporary camp for a while.

The flying troops led by Cirvanas did not arrive at the aircraft carrier parked at the port of Menethil Harbor at night.

As soon as she landed on the aircraft carrier, the first thing she said when she jumped off the griffin was: "Where's your lord?"

The elf soldier who was asked had a strange expression on his face. He seemed to think for a while before saying, "The lord is interrogating the succubus."
