Ranger King of Azeroth

Chapter 234: Anticipate the enemy

??Chapter 234 Predict the enemy's plane first

?? "You said that orcs can ride dragons and command them to attack?"

?? Lothar and the generals of the High Command all had expressions of disbelief when they heard the news from Dai Lin.

?? This does not mean that they doubt the authenticity of Dai Lin's words, these generals just instinctively refuse to believe this fact.

After all, the giant dragon is a legendary creature. At least few people in the Eastern Continent have witnessed the emergence of this powerful species. Now this powerful flying creature is enslaved by the orcs. This is a big deal for the alliance. bad news.

Dai Lin sat on the chair with a dejected expression on his face. Although he escaped successfully, the fleet suffered heavy losses. There were only a dozen or so ships left in the original nearly 100 warships. Many sailors from various countries were also buried in the sea. These are all losses suffered under his leadership.

?? "I don't want to believe it either, but those three giant dragons did conduct an air raid on our fleet, and many people in the fleet witnessed it."

Seeing Dai Lin's unwilling expression, Lothar walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder, "General, it's not that we don't believe you, it's just that this matter is too unbelievable, and the tribe has the Red Dragon as the air force. It will have a great impact on our future strategic arrangements."

??At this time, human beings have no established air force except for a few griffins that are purely used for riding. It seems that the Red Dragon Knights who want to fight against the tribe can only rely on...

Charlemagne, who was sitting on the side, nodded with a smile when he saw Lothar turning his gaze, "Since our high elves have brought air troops, naturally we won't let them be idle like this. If the tribe sends a red dragon to attack Leave it to us."

??Saradley looked eager to fight at this time. It should be very exciting to fight this legendary flying creature.

?? After comforting Dai Lin and temporarily solving the air force problem, Lothar returned to the table and began to check the map.

?? "Now the orcs should have landed somewhere in Hillsbrad under the cover of the red dragon. Considering the large number of defensive forces in South Sea Town, I think they should land here."

?? Lothar pointed his finger at the eastern beach of Hillsbrad, and his judgment made all the generals present nod their heads.

At this time, Turalyon asked a little puzzled, "What is the strategic purpose of the orcs? What is their plan to bypass the Arathi Highlands, which is heavily guarded by Stormgard, and directly enter the Hillsbrad Hills?" ?”

??This question is very important. It is related to how to judge the direction of the Horde army in the future. If the ultimate goal of the orcs can be predicted in advance, it will also be convenient for Lothar to deploy defenses.

?? While the generals were thinking hard, Charlemagne stood up and provided them with an idea.

?? "I heard from Commander Lothar that there are already a small number of trolls in the orc army, is that true?"

??"That's true. Although the number is not large, it can basically be seen that they come from different forest troll clans."

??Charlemagne nodded and walked to the map. After thinking for a while, he stretched out his slender fingers and pointed at the small river that runs through the entire Hillsbrad and behind Durnholde.

"Now the troll army in the Hinterlands is probably difficult to enter Hillsbrad due to the blocking and surveillance of Dunholde Castle and the Wildhammer dwarf Eagle's Nest Mountain. If the orcs want to get the aid of the trolls , then it is nothing more than two roads.”

"First, avoid Dunholde Castle and the important town of Tarren Mill and go all the way north along the river, passing through the territory of the Barov family in the Kingdom of Alterac to the vicinity of Caer Darrow, where the trolls should be reconciled A great place."

"Secondly, bypass the defense of Durnholde Castle from the river, and directly enter the Hinterlands from the trail behind to meet the trolls. As far as I know, there are several members of the Evil Branch Clan in this area of ??Hinterlands. An important stronghold, as expected, the troll army should be hoarding in this area."

??Charlemagne's finger finally pointed at a blank area in the south of the Hinterlands. At this time, this place has not been discovered by humans, so the signs and terrain above are all blank.

?? According to Charlemagne's memory, this place seems to be a temple named Shadraloh. If he was Zujin, he would have stopped the army here and waited to reunite with the orcs.

??Lothar suddenly realized after hearing Charlemagne's analysis, "So that's the case. Although the orcs now have an army of nearly 100,000, they must still hope to get support first in the face of the 200,000 troops assembled from various countries."

??Darius also nodded and said, "Besides, the trolls are local snakes that have survived in Azeroth for countless years. It is relatively easier for the orcs to find a suitable marching route with them leading the way."

?? While the generals were expressing their views, Turayang's frown had not been untied. Lothar noticed his expression and looked up and asked, "What's wrong with Turayang, is there anything wrong?"

Turayang, who was in deep thought, came back to his senses when he heard the call from his boss, "No... nothing wrong, I was just thinking about the next move of the orcs after receiving the support from the troll army, what is their ultimate goal? "

?? Lothar also frowned when he heard the words. He carefully traced the towns and important strongholds on the orc route with his fingers on the map, but he still failed to find any clues from their action patterns.

??Charlemagne glanced at Turayang in surprise. He didn't expect that when everyone was excited about finding the next move of the orc, this young man could still keep a calm head and continue to think in a longer-term direction.

??‘Sure enough... anyone’s success is not accidental, and it’s no wonder Sir Lothar appointed him as his adjutant. '

??Charlemagne knew the answer to this question, but considering Orgrim's winding route, he didn't plan to say it for the time being.

??In fact, Orgrim's goal is very clear, which is to completely suppress the resistance of mankind through a blitz attack on the most important city of the Alliance, King City of Lordaeron, and greatly damage the morale of the Alliance.

??However, due to Zujin's strong request, Orgrim could only meet the requirements of his allies, and reluctantly turned a big corner in the middle and headed further north.

??Lothar, Danas and the others thought for a long time but couldn't figure out the tribe's intentions, so they stopped guessing.

?? "In short, now that the tribe's next move has been preliminarily predicted, let's first deploy a line of defense on the great plain between the eastern beach and Tarren Mill. I guess the orcs will march in a hurry to avoid our frontal defense."

?? Lothar's words made everyone present nod their heads. If there is no accident, the first head-on collision between the Alliance and the Horde will start in the hilly area of ??Hillsbrad.

??Lothar then sent Griffin to inform the defenders of Dunholde Castle and Thoradin's Wall. Due to the mobilization of the war, there were not many soldiers left behind in these two strongholds.

??Lothar's requirement for them is only defense. If the tribe's defeat is revealed, the commanders of the two strongholds can send troops to pursue them according to the situation.

?? "Admiral Dai Lin, there is still a task for you."

Lothar looked at the admiral who was still in a daze, and ordered to him with a serious face, "I hope you can lead the remaining fleet to destroy their ships while the orcs land, so that the tribe's retreat can be cut off. "

??Dai Lin was refreshed when he heard Lothar's order, and hurriedly stood up and said loudly, "Yes! This time the mission must be successfully completed!"

??As Lothar and the generals went out to mobilize, the huge alliance army finally started to move.
