Rise of the blood elves

Among the blood elves and the coalition forces that had just arrived through the portal, the commanders of all races were gathering on a high ground with a good view, and they were intensively deploying the vanguard troops to form a defensive formation to protect the portal through which the following troops could pass.

There are more than one rider gathering around them to issue flag commands, heralds who are ready to ride away on fast horses, and mages who use the fastest magic communication to ensure that orders are passed up and down.

Each tribe is using the method they are best at and most familiar with to pass orders to the middle and low-level officers, and then mobilize the soldiers under their command.

In the initial stage of the Battle of Gilneas, we can see the various command and operation systems of the blood elves, humans, Wildhammer dwarves and even the simple Frostwolf orcs, including semaphores, running orders, and spell communication. It's enough, it can be said to be diverse, far more exciting than the "Middle Way Collapse" Battle of Dalaran.

From the third war to the present, all ethnic groups and countries have never been so closely united as they are now.

Dozens of giant portals emitting azure light were expanding and contracting. A few minutes later, three to four thousand soldiers of all races had arrived on the battlefield. Without stopping at all, they immediately rushed to the predetermined location under the leadership of officers. .

Tall and agile blood elves, medium-sized but robust humans, short and stocky Wildhammer dwarves, and muscular green-skinned orcs. The footsteps of varying weights filled the entire front line, which was extremely noisy but not unstoppable. Shows no trace of confusion.

The first reason is that the current combat deployment has been finalized through numerous negotiations before the teleportation started.For every era, investigation is the top priority of war, and in this world of high magic, there are too many extraordinary methods that can be used for investigation.

There are not many spellcasters left by the Scourge Legion in the northern part of the Eastern Continent. The only places where they can hide under the detection spell are their base camp, the Royal Capital of Lordaeron, and Dalaran, where heavy troops are gathered.

The blood elves used the energy of the Sunwell as support and gathered the power of the magisters. They had long used long-range detection spells to detect every move of the undead in the southern part of the Silverpine Forest.After discovering that the undead were about to attack the city, all the tribes immediately gathered their forces and came, appearing in the best position on the undead's flank. They made the decision to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation to attack, and to protect the portal and keep it open for the follow-up troops to pass.

Energy is always limited. It is not possible for the blood elves to bring tens of thousands of people to a certain location at once.Judging from the throughput speed of more than a dozen teleportation gates, it will take about fifteen to two ten minutes for all troops to be teleported.

The second reason is that those who come here are all the elites of all races.

Needless to say, the Silver Hand and its regular troops are the best-quality troops in the old alliance.

In order to eliminate the undead entrenched in Dalaran, the blood elves rushed to the weak point of space to open the portal to save the prince of the tribe, and they also fought hard to bring out their best. In terms of large-scale battlefield experience, they are indeed inferior to the concentrated experience in the past ten years. The people of Lordaeron who fought in the Second and Third War, but the personal quality and discipline honed in the constant small-scale battles with trolls cannot be underestimated.

The Wildhammer dwarves are a little behind. After all, compared to their air combat level that tops Azeroth, and rising to the level of legion combat on the battlefield, their land combat is undoubtedly not that impressive.

Only the Frostwolf Orcs are the least regulated among all the tribes, because even the entire Orc tribe's development in war theory was only 20 years ago when they passed through the Dark Portal and fought against the human Kingdom of Stormwind for the first time. It started after the war.

For countless years before, they lived a scattered nomadic life in Draenor based on clans. Perhaps individual clans such as Warsong developed steel-like strict discipline in the war with the ogres and accumulated considerable wealth. Large-scale combat experience, but that is still not enough to affect the entire group, let alone people like the Frostwolves who were exiled as early as the beginning of World War I and have never participated in any subsequent wars except for a series of liberation and accommodation led by Thrall. In all the wars, the Frostwolf clan has almost no accumulation of wars.

Speaking of which, Orgrim, the former warchief of the orcs, after taking over the seemingly incompatible tribes composed of various clans during the reign of the puppet chief Blackhand, quickly integrated them into an invincible steel division. The Eastern Continent has no power to fight back.Although there are factors in this that the tribes in the Eastern Continent are not well prepared for war, a fair evaluation shows that Orgrim's military capabilities are indeed unmatched.

But when it comes to this, another question arises that is a matter of opinion.If the orcs in the past had not become violent and uncontrollable because of drinking the blood of Mannoroth, and if they had the military literacy and first-class strict discipline of human professional armies, would this terrifying green torrent become even more terrifying? Not sure yet.

All in all, the former of the two groups was mixed into the second line of human troops due to the small number of infantry and lack of experience, and their battlefield duties were similar to that of auxiliary soldiers.The latter were placed on the flanks and entered the scene when the battle was intense, using the orcs' indomitable charging momentum to hit the weak points of the local line.

When Angmar rode the dragonhawk back to the temporary headquarters, he happened to run into an aerial reconnaissance force that had set off a few hours before them to conduct routine reconnaissance in Dalaran.

There are about thirty of these scouts, half of them are griffins, and the rest are blood elf mages riding dragon eagles, headed by the magister Landra Morningwalker. Without exception, they are all good at illusions.

As soon as he got off his mount, a tall and thick Wildhammer dwarf spoke first: "The undead from Dalaran came out in droves, and we didn't see any regular natural disaster troops halfway or within dozens of kilometers. We can basically confirm that the people ahead are here." Those tens of thousands of undead are the natural disaster elites who were originally entrenched in Dalaran."

Magister Landra, who got off the Dragon Eagle, nodded and added: "We found no traces of illusion cover-up."

No matter what kind of investigation is carried out, it is possible to be deceived by the enemy's illusions, and then make irreversible wrong decisions under the guidance of wrong intelligence, which is extremely fatal.That's why a group of mages accompanied them, and even a magister was dispatched, in order to prevent this phenomenon from happening.

The commanders of all races in the command post looked at each other for a moment, and their expressions became solemn.

Dathrohan stared at the undead army crowded with "people" in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, this is consistent with the blood elves' earlier spell detection. This means two points. First, what we are facing is not just They are ordinary undead, but the most elite troops left by the Scourge Legion on this continent, and perhaps the lich Kel'Thuzad will personally take charge. In other words, our enemy is at least several times stronger than originally expected."

Everyone in the command post was silent.

Especially the blood elves, no one understands what the energy of the Sunwell means better than them. Anweina, the incarnation of only one in ten of the total energy, has the power to instantly evaporate several legendary undead warriors and tens of thousands of ordinary undead. Ability, how terrifying will the lich Kel'Thuzad be, who has been reshaped by the essence of the Sunwell?

Even if this terrifying lich is not comparable to Anweina, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can compete with.

"Second," Dathrohan looked around and shook his fist heavily, "If we can win this battle, we will be able to liberate Dalaran and the entire Hillsbrad Hills. After this war, the North has The blood elves were in check, Gilneas was guarding the southwest, and in the east was the vast strategic depth that had not yet fallen and the hundreds of thousands of refugees in the Arathi Highlands who could recruit soldiers. Together, this war involved the entire north, which was unprecedented. We have won half of the large-scale war and regaining the north is just around the corner."

More than half of Angmar thought, if the effective force of the Scourge can be eradicated here, after the Battle of Mount Hyjal is over, and Illidan bombards the Frozen Throne with the Eye of Sargeras, the entire undead of Lordaeron will be wiped out. Will fall into civil war due to partial escape from the Lich King's control.By that time, their military strength will be weakened again.

Thinking of this, Angmar couldn't help but wonder, what kind of scene was there on Mount Hyjal on the other side of the world?

Calculating the time, perhaps the Burning Legion had just invaded Ashenvale and Felwood, and the human troops led by Jaina had just joined the orcs led by Thrall. He had new questions in his mind. I wonder if Grom Hellscream had anything to do with Dark Night. The elves fight

The night elves hate demons deeply. They can smell the demonic aura emitted by the orcs because they drank demon blood more than ten years ago. In addition, the orcs' Warsong clan is cutting down the forest that they regard as life. The two sides almost met each other. It's a fight to the death situation.

Angmar frowned, maybe at this time

Grom had been defeated steadily by the night elf forces led by the demigod Cenarius. Finally, he was lured by Mannoroth who arrived in Kalimdor and drank the cursed blood again.

He couldn't help but sigh, maybe Cenarius had died in Grom's hands.Although the death of such a demigod is only temporary, and the soul will eventually return to this land for rebirth, it is also an extremely heavy loss for Azeroth and the current unfinished war.

That was a demigod. His strength alone far surpassed that of a legendary powerhouse, and the abilities he could exert in his own field could not be expressed by a simple strength system.

Soon after, Grom will be retrieved and purified by Thrall and Jaina. Later, he and Thrall go to the nameless valley known as the "Demon Slayer Valley" in later generations, sacrifice themselves, and kill Mannoroth. , completely ending the demonic curse lingering in the blood of the orcs.

Angmar respects such a strong-willed orc warrior. It is said that he is suffering from the curse of demon blood. He is thin and inhuman, but he supports himself with an iron will, and his strength has hardly declined at all.

But respect only goes so far, to his status as a warrior and his willpower that is unmatched by ordinary people.

Even if Angmar was capable enough, he would not want to save Grom Hellscream if he was given the choice.

Grom is an absolute hawk among the orcs. He is extremely powerful individually and can be called one of the most powerful warriors of the orcs. He also has a transcendent status below the warchief and above the chiefs of other clans, and he still helps liberate Thrall. A veteran figure in sheltering and forming new tribes, he has many fans among old and new orcs.

Young Thrall is right, very, very young. Thrall, who was born in the 1st year of the Blackmen Calendar, is now only 20 years old. He upholds the path of peace, but at his age, he puts aside the important responsibilities and duties entrusted to him by the last warchief Orgrim before his death. Not to mention the double aura of the son of the Frostwolf Hero Patriarch, given his qualifications and the fact that he was raised by humans and was always treated as a plaything in the arena, how many people among the orcs are truly convinced by him?

If Grom Hellscream survives, driven by the orcs' rigid demand for wood, the intensity of the resource struggle between the orcs and the night elves in Ashenvale will rise to an unprecedented level.All warring orcs will find an outlet to express their ambitions.

No matter how hard Thrall tries to obtain timber resources as much as possible without escalating the war or excessively exacerbating regional tensions, the final development of the situation will be beyond his control.The dispute between the night elves and the orcs may no longer be limited to a battle for resources, but has risen to a battle for territory and survival. The tragedy of Ashenvale during the Cataclysm Garrosh period will come many years in advance.

The new alliances and new tribes that were originally established in the fourth year after the end of the Third World War may even be formed early, and the entire world will be dragged into the quagmire of war several years in advance. If this is the case, when the future has already The Lich King, who merged with Arthas, woke up from his slumber. In this world that was already suffering from serious internal strife, what could be done to resist the Scourge that drove the floating city to the doorstep? How could it resist the catastrophe that followed?

This is a matter of opinion.

"I'll leave it to you to contact Gilneas. We must cooperate effectively with Gilneas to defeat this most elite natural disaster force." Dathrohan looked at Angmar and said slowly and seriously.

Angmar nodded and signaled to a magister beside him, who immediately summoned several mid-level mages and said: "Establish a stable two-way channel immediately."

After that, these mages joined forces to cast spells.

The coalition forces are two kilometers away from Gilneas, and there is really no faster way to communicate than magical communication.

After completing all this, Angmar looked at the natural disaster army to the east.

"This is a war that can only be won, not lost. We have no retreat."

At some point, Tirion Fordring, who was carrying the "Silver Hand" war hammer, came to him and said in a heavy tone.
