Chapter 379: The High Elf's Sorrow (Part 1)
war.
Every war will have all kinds of strange things, whether it's inventions, tactics, or anything else.
A country with sufficient strategic depth can rely on a vast land and retreat while fighting, giving the rear enough reaction space and growth time to accumulate strength for future counterattacks.
Small country...
Once the old capital is wiped out, it will be the same thing to destroy the country within a few days.
Quel'Thalas, whether it's big or small. In terms of the size of the country, the actual control area is probably the Eversong Forest plus half of the land of ghosts for later generations. It is as high as the sky, which is one-third of the level of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. (The other half of Ghostlands is troll territory, controlled by the Amani troll clan of Zul'Aman.)
Obviously, the land has no depth at all, and while refusing human help, it is playing refueling tactics. Duke has no idea how to complain about it.
Rubbing his brows, Duke whispered, "It's good to let Aurelia die..."
After finishing speaking, Duke conveyed his analysis to Alleria.
Alleria immediately rushed to Kael'thas as if her ass was on fire.
"Your Highness! Are you going to let the army fight the tribe on the grassland?" Aurelia is also considered a soldier. With so many burly arcane constructs and even bigger mountain giants, it is definitely not jungle warfare.
"What's the problem? General Windrunner." Kael'thas showed a gentle smile.
"Your Highness! You can't fight recklessly with the Horde! The high elves lack enough vanguards. Arcane constructs are good, and mountain giants are also very powerful. But they are too few in number. Once the vanguard is defeated, all the mages and rangers in the rear will be defeated." They were chased and killed by tribes all over the mountains like chasing ducks."
Alleria argued hard. Having been with Duke for so long, I have also heard a lot about the tragic situation of the Stormwind Kingdom's several battles on the plains in Elwynn Forest last year. Alleria knew how terrifying an army of orcs with their arms and legs free on the flat ground was.
In fact, in places such as South Sea Town and Nanliu Coast, humans also used high-strength fortifications to weaken the mobility and vigor of the orcs to the extreme to achieve that gorgeous exchange ratio.
Now Kael'thas actually wants to fight the Horde on the plain?
Alleria felt that not only Kael'thas, but the entire upper elves were crazy.
"Please pay attention to your tone, Your Excellency General Ranger. In the current war, your pessimism is the worst."
Following the direction of the voice, Alleria noticed an unusually burly warrior beside the prince. Most elves are slender in stature, weak in strength and size. There are always exceptions to everything, such as the one in front of you, just looking at his figure in the middle of the night, you will feel that he is no different from a troll.
Tall, strong, and bulging muscles are full of surging power and beauty.
"You are..." He couldn't see any army epaulettes, and he could only recognize this as a baron by the logo on his breastplate.
"Baron Sagunar, a follower of His Highness."
oh! Kael'thas is the hardcore.
Although staying in Dalaran all the year round, Kael'thas has won over a group of diehards who are not of high status.
Alleria was angry with him: "I'm not pessimistic, I'm just objectively stating to His Highness the balance of power between the enemy and us as an elf who has actually fought against the tribe."
"Understood? May I ask your Excellency how many orcs have you killed?" Sagunar slightly raised his mouth and nose, with deep disdain in his eyes.
Alleria squinted her eyes: "The number of kills certified by the Lordaeron Alliance is 1388 orc warriors."
There are so many certified ones, and uncertified ones...
This is an age of heroes.
Kill a person as a murderer.
Kill ten people as butchers.
But killing hundreds of people can be called a hero.
Not to mention killing the evil orcs and trolls who invaded their hometown?
Sagunar was finally moved. He didn't recall until now that the noble and wild female ranger standing in front of him was a very famous hero since the Troll War period!
At this time, Kael'thas rescued his men.
He pondered for a moment: "I understand your concerns, General. Well, the plan for the decisive battle remains the same, but the final battle location is set on the plain south of the Eastern Temple. The cover work will trouble the rangers of the Windrunner family."
Kael'thas pointed to the windrunner's defense area, which happened to be the eastern temple.
It has to be said that Kael'thas has been suppressed by the council for so many years, and the most important skill he has learned is to compromise. Perhaps this will make him farther and farther away from the realm of heroes, but this is undoubtedly very much in line with the national conditions of Quel'Thalas' high-level officials. A qualified and well-rounded politician is undoubtedly more nourishing than an upright hero.
The decisive battle location is set under the cover of one's own defense line. Even if there is a so-called eventuality, if the army wants to withdraw, it can still be covered by the temple's relatively complete magic defense system.
Alleria trembled all over, but she didn't continue to defend herself after all. Kael'thas has backed off, at least avoiding the worst possible outcome. And withdrawing the Ranger troops, which had lost the most since the start of the war, to the second line, no one could pick a thorn in this decision.
Listening to the dog legs of the surrounding princes flattering and saying "Your Highness is wise", Aurelia felt as disgusted as if she had eaten a fly. After a military salute, he went down.
the next day.
Standing on a high hill, looking at the forests and elven villages that were set on fire everywhere, Orgrim had a rare pleasure since the start of the war. He asked his deputy: "The scout reported that those long ears are so stupid to prepare Fight us on the plain?"
Chief Zuluhed of the Dragon Roar clan nodded: "That's right, they probably believe that before we defeat their vanguard, they can use damn magic to destroy us."
Orgrim grinned sneeringly: "Okay, great orc warriors shouldn't waste the enemy's magic at will. Especially when there is a choice, let Gul'dan's new toys go first."
The second Dark Portal War, a completely changed Quel'Thalas battle officially started on June 2.
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
The horns of the Horde are often rough and heroic, the horns of the Alliance are majestic and heroic, and the elves...fucking tuba is played as a trumpet, and there are buttons on the tuba, which can play cadenced syllables.
The army of elves, whom the Sunstrider Wang's family placed high hopes on, was coming out of a lush green forest, and the entire enemy formation was presented in front of these elves who hadn't fought much for nearly three thousand years.
The elves sneered, the formation of the tribe was too scattered, it looked like a group of beggars gathered together.
