The elves thought it would be okay to send troops at this time, if it went well, but if it failed, it is very likely that the orc troops would take advantage of the victory and follow the Hinterland army, and finally enter the Hinterland area, and would lead Hinterland into the region prematurely. In the flames of war.
After careful consideration, the Wildhammer dwarves agreed with the elves. They formally sent a reply to the Alliance High Command that they refused to send troops, and they only agreed to send a 100-man Griffin Fly to Southsea Town and Tarren Mill. Troops to enhance the intelligence gathering and transmission speed of the Alliance Army.
Since then, the Hinterlands have had a few months of peace. Until the army's training was basically up to standard, there was no sign of orcs attacking Xuntland.
The fortifications of the dwarves' Eagle's Nest Castle were basically completed at this time. Although other civilian buildings had not had time to start, such fortifications were sufficient as a military fortress.
On this day, the Wildhammer dwarves sent someone to negotiate with the elves about sending troops out of the Hinterlands, and it happened that the elves were also hesitating about this matter.
Because just this morning, there was a piece of battlefield reconnaissance information sent by the Griffon Knights. They discovered that an orc army of about 1,200 people passed through the front line of Alterac and turned to the east. The Army Chief of Staff believes that this orc force is likely to attack the city of Anhador in the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
It just made all the officers of the Army General Staff very strange how this orc force suddenly appeared there, and how they broke through the Allied defense line in Alterac and appeared behind the Allied forces without anyone noticing. of.
In the battlefield of Alterac Valley, although the Alliance has always been at a disadvantage, since the Kingdom of Lordaeron bought all the high-level paladin suits in Hinterland and formed the Knights of the Silver Hand, the situation on the battlefield has not changed. Basically recover the disadvantage, but at least there is already a part of the power to counterattack, it is absolutely impossible for the orcs to break through so easily.
Besides, behind the Alterac battlefield is the Alterac Kingdom, but why has such an orc army not been discovered? This is very unreasonable.
The elves questioned the report of the orc operation, and the Gryphon Rider was brought back to Alliance High Command. In the following meeting, after fully weighing the stakes, everyone unanimously agreed to send troops to Hinterland.
However, they do not directly enter the main battlefield of Hillsbrad, nor do they enter the Dunholde area to participate in the battle. Instead, they take the path north of the Eagle's Nest Castle of the Wildhammer dwarves and catch up before the orcs reach Anhador. Enter the city of Anhador in Lordaeron in one step, and set up an ambush.
Both the elves and the Wildhammer dwarves were determined to eat this orc army that broke into the Allied rear, but the issue of sending troops needed to be discussed.
After a day of discussion, the Xuntland Western Legion took over the defense area of the Eastern Legion on the second day. All members of the Eastern Legion set off for the northern path of the Wildhammer Dwarf Eagle's Nest Castle, and set off for the rear of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, the city of Anhador. .
In addition to being responsible for the defense of Hinterland, the Western Legion also needs to pass the news of Hinterland's dispatch of troops to the Allied Command, so as to avoid misunderstanding by the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
In addition, the Wildhammers sent a force of more than 300 Griffin Knights under the command of the Eastern Legion. Because the Hammer of Moradin of the Wildhammer Dwarf Griffon Knight has a prominent effect on the hellfire demon summoned by the orc warlock.
The flying troops of the Wildhammer dwarves and elves dispatched first, first to scout along the road, and second, to choose the ideal ambush location first. What's more important is to monitor the movement of this orc troop nearby at any time. Some of the officers followed the Griffon Knights, and some followed the main force of the legion.
Shi Dewa led the flying troops to the city of Anhador first, while Xinglog was in charge of leading the main force of the Xuntland Eastern Legion to Anhador from the small road.
After several days of flying, Shideva and the Griffin Knights entered the city of Anhador in the west of Lordaeron together, and their arrival was warmly received by Lord Anhador.
After expressing his intention to come, Lord Anhador was uneasy for a moment. He had heard about the fighting power of the orcs. To be honest, Anhador's current guard strength is extremely weak, and the main force has already been dispatched to the frontline of Alterac.
He also didn't think that just a few hundred members of the flying troop composed of Wildhammer dwarves and high elves would be able to stop the attack of the orc troop with as many as twelve hundred people.
However, Lord Anhador was overjoyed when he learned that Hinterland still had a legion of troops coming here, and became more enthusiastic about the elves and dwarves for a while.
After negotiating with Lord Anhador, Stewar did not dare to delay for too long. After the Anhador lord group found a place for them, he immediately led a flying squad to scout the movements of the orc troops in order to choose the best ambush location.
After a few days of investigation, Shi Dewa discovered that the behavior of this orc army was very strange. They tried to avoid everyone's sight along the way, and most of the time they were nocturnal, and they tried to choose remote trails to march.
This is not in line with the orcs' usual rampant style, and it also brings a lot of trouble to the investigation of the Griffin Riders. Judging from the marching route of this orc army, UU Reading They seem to have no intention of attacking Anhador City, which makes Shideva and the others feel very strange.
Although no one knows the real intention of this orc army, everyone is convinced that this orc army must be responsible for some kind of secret mission. No matter what this orc army wants to do, it is right to prevent them from achieving their goals. Because of the weird behavior of the orc army, the officers attach great importance to this orc army.
Standing on a mountainside with dense forests, Shi Dewa looked at the orc troops marching on the path in the distance.
The orc army led the way with more than 300 wolf cavalry as the vanguard. In the past few days, all the humans they saw were killed by these wolf cavalry vanguards. The orcs were very careful in their actions, always trying to avoid villages with large populations, and they were marching in secret from the beginning to the end.
"When will our main team arrive at the scheduled location?" Shi Dewa asked the adjutant beside him.
yes! Shideva also has an adjutant.
Since the establishment of the General Staff of the Quel'Danis Army, he is no longer just an instructor of the Santo's Guard, but the chief of the army's general staff and the instructor of the Santo's Guard.
This was officially appointed by the Quel'Dannis council. Since the city lord was not in Hinterland, the Quel'Dannis council did not dare to revoke Shideva's qualification as an instructor of the castellan's guards, so he had to hold two positions.
"There are still three days to arrive!" Adjutant Shi Dewa replied rigorously.
"Three days? It's still too slow! Can't Xingluoge speed up?" Shi Dewa said distressedly.
