Volume Six: Gadgetzan Feels Grand Event Chapter 717: Encounter on a narrow road

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Xie Feng always felt that something was wrong, but he focused all his attention on Varian, and Thrall was ignored.

    Thinking back on yesterday¡¯s performance in the confrontation in the Undercity, although Varian seemed very radical and impulsive, he was more of an oppressive force!  Perhaps he just thought that Thrall would not easily trigger a war between the Alliance and the Horde, so he pressed forward step by step, and even dared to break into the Undercity alone.

    The Winter Fortress incident and the punishment of the Forsaken are just incidental. What Varian really wants is to regain Lordaeron, and for this purpose, he threatens Thrall with a war between the Alliance and the Horde!  It would be best if we could really recover the Undercity, but even if it didn't work, we would have to find an excuse for a future comeback.

    But what Varian never expected was that Thrall, who had always resisted war, acted very decisively this time without giving in or compromising at all!

    There was no plan to start a war, but Thrall's last words forced Varian to fight.  Otherwise, if the tribe gets a little stronger, you will leave in despair, which will be an extremely heavy blow to the alliance's morale, reputation, and Varian's prestige!

    That¡¯s why after he powerfully occupied Briar, he immediately threw Rowling out to contact Jaina, hoping to find a way to withdraw at the critical moment.

    A decisive battle with the Horde in Tirisfal Glades is definitely not what he wants to see!  The alliance was not prepared at all, and a fight was destined to be a tragedy.

    Of course, Xie Feng is not aware of these actions of Varian yet, but he has already sorted out the doubts and uneasiness in his heart While he was thinking, a series of shelling sounds suddenly came from behind!  The Alliance fleet, which was still watching from a distance, suddenly pounced on them like crazy.

    The battleships of the Unicorn Legion also rushed to meet them.  But before any negotiation could be conducted, the Alliance launched a frenzied bombardment without any hesitation!

    "Counterattack! Hit me hard! Damn humans." Mattis waved his fist and gave the order to the messenger behind him.

    In fact, his command is no longer needed. The naval warships of the Unicorn Legion have already come forward and are fighting with the Alliance.  The blood elf army, which has won consecutive battles and is at the peak of its momentum, is not easy to bully. How could it be soft on the Alliance fleet that took the lead in provocation?

    The number of soldiers transported by both sides is almost the same, and the number of ships in the escort fleet is also similar.  For a while, the fight was booming.  But soon Xie Feng and others felt something was wrong!  Only two-thirds of the Alliance fleet slowed down for bombardment. The remaining warships continued to ride the wind and waves, penetrated the interception of the Blood Elf fleet, and rushed towards the beach

    "They want to stop them quickly!" Sangunar ordered anxiously, his pupils shrinking slightly.

    The direction of the Alliance fleet's desperate attack is exactly the beach where the blood elves are still landing!  There are still a large number of troops gathered there that have not had time to line up and transport ships with almost no combat capabilities. Even three warships that rush in can cause a lot of casualties.

    Xie Feng said nothing and temporarily handed over the command to Sangunar and Mattis.  What he wants to know more is why the Alliance Navy did this?  !

    As the order was conveyed through the semaphore, the Unicorn Legion responded immediately. The warships that were engaged in the exchange of fire quickly withdrew about 40% of the array and intercepted and pursued the Alliance warships that had protruded.  But as a result, gaps immediately appeared in the originally neat fleet array, and the fire coverage became full of holes.

    The weakness of the blood elf fleet's lack of naval combat experience was immediately apparent.  Seeing an opportunity to take advantage, the remaining Alliance warships also launched a charge!  After being severely damaged and sinking five battleships in a row, they broke into the Unicorn Legion's battleship array and formed a complete melee.

    Seeing that the interception did not have much effect, the alliance's kamikaze warships still stubbornly headed towards the coast, Xie Feng was in a hurry!  The people coming this time are all the most elite legions and soldiers in Quel'Thalas. There must be no big losses, especially unnecessary losses!

    "Abandon the ships and supplies and let them evacuate the transport ship as soon as possible!"

    He ordered the two officers with a gloomy face.  Some gritted their teeth angrily: "The Alliance is crazy! Just the navy dragged us on the beach?"

    Mattis was also sweating profusely: "Alex and Varian are going to annihilate us all here! If Brill's alliance comes here"

    The terrain of Tirisfal Glades immediately came into mind. Now Sangunar also panicked and said quickly: "No, we must stop them!"

    There are two locations suitable for landing on the northern beach of Tirisfal Glades. One is in the northwest, near Agamand Mill, where the Alliance landed, and the other is on the high ground near the Scarlet Cathedral.  This is where the blood elves landed.

    There is a mountain range between the two landing sites.separated, and finally gathered in Burrell.  At this time, the blood elf army was blocked on the beaches and plains between the mountains and the highlands where the Scarlet Cathedral was located.  To the southeast is Tirisfal Glades' largest lake.  Only the southwest direction of Briar can lead to the outside world.  At this time, the alliance navy has forced everyone to abandon the beach. If Brill's alliance army also comes to kill, the blood elf army will be the turtle in the urn!

    Looking back behind us, except for the 10,000 Sunfury and Morning Front troops who landed first, the other blood elf armies were in chaos and had no formation at all.

    The Alliance army is coming, and just one effective attack may completely collapse the 50,000 blood elves army!

    Retreat?  Seeing that the Unicorn Legion was being led by the Alliance with a slightly inferior force, Xie Feng gave up completely.  He gritted his teeth and picked up the wind sword: "I will take people to the foot of the mountain to block the alliance's attack first. You must reorganize the troops and follow them as soon as possible! If the navy is really unable to defeat them, let them withdraw first."

    The two of them were inseparable. Xie Feng immediately led the most elite Sunfury Warriors and Morning Blade Blood Knights to kill Briar.

    Before that, Sylvanas, Kael'thas and others who were waiting eagerly in the Undercity were also thrown into confusion by Thrall's actions!

    Because of Thrall¡¯s selflessness, the Frostwolf clan, with the strongest melee capabilities, was placed in the ruins of Lordaeron, at the forefront of the defense line.

    In the early morning, Thrall, Wojin and others suddenly summoned their troops, broke out of the defense line and directly destroyed a camp guarded by the Alliance near the flight tower.

    Not only was the Alliance caught off guard, but it also took the Forsaken and the Blood Elves a long time to realize something was wrong.

    But by the time both sides calmed down, Thrall had already fled to the west with the Frostwolf orcs, entered the Silverpine Forest, and began to build a defense line

    In the garden hall among the ruins, Prince Kael'thas and Sylvanas hurried over after hearing the sudden change. Only then did they realize that they had been tricked by Thrall.  If it is an enemy, there is nothing to complain about.  But this kind of betrayal of teammates is enough to drive even the most generous person crazy!

    "Damn orcs, you shouldn't believe they have any good intentions!" Kael'thas cursed angrily and then forced himself to calm down.

    After breathing heavily for a long time, he ordered Halduron to order the Farstriders to take over the defense line vacated by the escape of the orcs. At the same time, he turned to Sylvanas, who looked cold and said tentatively: "Our Undercity is undefendable.  They must be blocked in the ruins of Lordaeron! Reinforcements will arrive soon."

    "Our hatred is more suitable for consumption." Perhaps the continuous betrayal and blows have made the Banshee King accustomed to it.  Sylvanas was used to it and seemed calmer than the prince. She ordered the Death Knight captain behind her: "Asker, Nathanos, you take over from Farstrider!"

    Then, he said to the prince: "Karl, let the magisters help my people. Varian can't get in."

    Prince Kael'thas nodded, and Aesas walked up to him very wisely: "I am happy to serve you, General Sylvanas."

    Before Sylvanas could respond, the Great Apothecary Faranir came up and asked in a deep voice: "Dear Prince, the orcs have blocked the road to Silverpine Forest, whether it is the Defiler or Talenbil's being.  Even the Forgotten cannot support us, and I don¡¯t know about your reinforcements"

    Speaking of the reinforcements, Kael'thas' expression softened slightly and he forced a smile and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Great Apothecary, Alex already led the team to set out yesterday afternoon, and may have landed on the northern coast at this time and is heading here.  . Let¡¯s wait and see!¡±

    The great pharmacist nodded: "You'd better tell Alex about the orc's behavior so that he can be prepared! Otherwise"

    "The scouts have already set off!" Halduron walked in slowly from the outside with strong anger in his eyes.  Explained to Faranir.  The behavior of the orcs made the former Silver Moon Ranger feel extremely angry and ashamed!  After all, it was he and Lor'themar who strongly advocated joining the Horde.  Now

    Soon, the blood elves and Forsaken armies that had retreated into the Undercity returned to the ground again and began to form defensive formations in the ruins of Lordaeron.

    This is just the blood elves and the Forsaken who were forced to protect themselves after being betrayed by the orcs, but in the eyes of the Alliance

    "What did you say? Those damn undead and blood elves are gathering an army?" At this time, Varian's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, staring at Broll Bearskin in front of him.  Not only because of anger and exhaustion, but also because of a bad premonition about the strange situation at this time.

    Taking a deep breath, he ordered Marshal Windsor next to him: "Shrink the troops and pull them all to the vicinity of Brill!"

    It¡¯s just a trading town and belongs to the undead tribe. Naturally, Briar can¡¯t be big enough to live there. At least it can¡¯t accommodate the alliance¡¯s 70,000 military divisions.  Varian had to assign troops?The army was stationed around the town.  It also serves as a town guard.

    It is precisely because of this that the Frostwolf Orcs were able to take down the camp near the flying tower in one fell swoop.

    As the order was issued, Varian's face became even more ugly.  He has become a little bit too hard to get off now!  The orcs' initiative to attack was completely unexpected.  Compared with the tribe's military strength, he was obviously at a disadvantage, and he dared to take the initiative to provoke, which made him have to wonder if there was some conspiracy.

    Marshal Windsor took the order, but before he could wait any longer, another human officer walked in in panic and knelt down in front of Varian: "His Majesty, Marshal, a blood elf fleet has appeared on the northern coast!  They¡¯re logging in on the beaches in the northeast.¡±

    Varian stood up suddenly, his eyes widening: "Blood Elf Army? How many people are there?"

    The officer was sweating profusely and lowered his head as he answered: "Twenty thousand blood elf warriors have successfully landed. Judging from the number of transport ships, there may be fifty thousand."

    Windsor¡¯s expression also changed drastically and he turned around: ¡°Your Majesty, it is likely that he is the main force of the blood elves used in the Northern Expedition.¡±

    Blood Elf Northern Expedition, news came from MI7, these troops are the most elite troops in the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas!  The main legions such as Sunfury, Morning Frontier, Flame Blade, Fire Wing, Flame Eagle, etc. are all on the line, almost in full force!  The total is expected to exceed one hundred thousand.  Definitely no weaker than the Alliance Northern Expeditionary Army.

    This force suddenly landed on the northern beaches.  How to keep the old marshal from panicking?

    But the bad news was not over yet. Varian suddenly looked up at the door with a gloomy face.  Valela's slightly embarrassed figure appeared from the void.  Quickly came over: "Varian. Found the Frostwolf orcs! They are building fortifications in the Silverpine Valley in the southwest."

    "What did you say?" Varian could no longer maintain his composure. The anger in his eyes was even slightly suppressed by fear, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

    He slumped down on the chair, picked up the cup with trembling hands, and took a long sip before he managed to calm down.

    In the view of Kael'thas and Sylvanas, Thrall blocked Silverpine Valley to intercept the Forsaken reinforcements, but Varian didn't know that Thrall was betraying his teammates!  In his opinion, the orcs blocked the valley to prevent the Alliance army from escaping south.  The Undercity is in a hurry and the Silverpine Valley is blocked again. When the blood elf army arrives, they can use their absolutely superior force to encircle the Brierne Alliance army on three sides!

    There are two paths left before Varian and the Alliance forces.  Retreat from the original route, evacuate Tirisfal Glades through the fleet, and run as far as you can.

    Or break the undead barrier with extremely empty defenses, rush into the Western Plaguelands, pass through Andorhal, Icewind Hills, Stannbraid, and the ruins of Alterac, and finally pass under the nose of Tarren Mir, and go to  Nanhai Townall fools know the consequences of doing this!  As for going directly to the Eastern Plaguelands, it's even more of a joke. Can the Argent Dawn and the Scarlet Crusade support so many alliance troops?  What's more, Silver Moon City is just around the corner.

    The second one is a no-brainer. As for the first onethe tribe is so 'careful' that they will let them escape by sea?

    Next to him, Marshal Windsor had already expressed his worries: "Your Majesty, the navy of Quel'Thalas is not weak! Admiral Tanred also said frankly that the Blackwater pirate leader Gangplank is a natural navy.  Marshal, if the blood elves"

    Broll also reminded: "Varian, if we are attacked by the tribe when we board the ship, the consequences will be disastrous!"

    boom!  As soon as he finished speaking, Varian slammed his fist on the table and gritted his teeth and said, "Order to have General Keller's fleet take the initiative to attack the blood elves!"

    "What?" Marshal Windsor was stunned for a moment, a little at a loss.

    Varian took a deep breath and said: "Since the navy is not sure of defeating the blood elves, then we will disrupt their plan and take the initiative! Place the battlefield where the blood elves troops will land and drag them to the northern beach. Prevent them  Attack us when we land."

    After finishing speaking, he stared at Marshal Windsor and sighed with a hint of guilt: "Let the soldiers prepare to retreat as soon as possible."

    Because of the orcs¡¯ raid, the alliance soldiers have already been excited!  Varian simply cannot issue a retreat order. If forced to proceed, the morale of the army will be completely on the verge of collapse. He can only let the respected old marshal comfort him and take the blame

    Windsor didn't care about this, or was very happy to oblige, bowing and saluting: "May the holy light illuminate your path, Your Majesty."

    Various chaotic sounds soon came from outside, and it was obvious that Windsor's persuasion did not go well.  After waiting for nearly half an hour, the preparations for retreat were not yet ready.  And the naval battle in the north, the rumblingThe sound of fire has reached Varian's ears!

    Just when he was extremely anxious, new information came again: "Your Majesty, the Blood Elf Sunfury and the Morning Frontier Legion have a total of 10,000 elites, led by the Morning Frontier General Alex Wind, and are marching towards Brill!  "

    "Alex?" Varian sighed in relief.  I can't leave now even if I want to!  If the blood elves catch up with them during the retreat

    Being forced to have no choice but to give another order: "Order Marcus Jonathan and his troops to snipe Alex!"

    After a pause, he asked again: "Is there still no movement in the Undercity?"

    Valela shook her head: "Not yet. The blood elves and the Forsaken are just reinforcing the defense line and have no intention of taking the initiative."

    "Keep an eye on them and never take it lightly!" The bad situation made Varian feel unprecedented pressure.  Now he can only hope for Jaina's arrival!  Otherwise, the only way to bring out the 80,000 main alliance troops is to recruit some tribal backers before dying.

    Half a quarter of an hour later, Marcus Jonathan led fifteen thousand original Stormwind City garrison troops out of the north gate of Brill to meet the blood elf army.

    And Xie Feng, who sent out scouts early, also received the news of the alliance troops' attack as well as the relatively general number immediately.

    "As expected. Varian wants to surround and annihilate us here!"

    The appearance of Marcus¡¯ troops made Xie Feng even more anxious and wanted to speed up to block the intersection between the mountains and the lake.

    On the other hand, Marcus also had the same plan.  Marching at full speed, trying to block Xie Feng and the blood elf army on the north side of the intersection

    ?? Two troops who were forced to a dead end launched a crazy attack on the same target!

    Half a quarter of an hour later, the two sides met on a narrow road at the south intersection of Burrell

    At the same time, behind the fortifications in the Silverpine Valley in the southwest, Thrall sat on the back of the frost wolf and looked to the north, feeling lost and sighing: "Things should not have turned out like this, old man Countless freshmen"  The living life will dim and die because of our selfish choices."
