During the defense of Quel'Thalas, Zuljin was lured into the city by Anastria and ambushed. The forest trolls besieging Silvermoon City immediately dispersed.
After the Troll War, the forest trolls gradually declined, and the Amani clan near Quel'Thalas was the first to bear the brunt.
The overlord clan of this forest troll has long been unable to resolve the issue with one word. Zuljin also promised to distribute the benefits after defeating Quel'Thalas, and only then united many forest troll clans under his command.
With the fall of Zul'jin, the hero known as the hope for the forest trolls' resurgence, the forest troll clans such as Deadwood, Evil Branch, and Rotten Moss did not hesitate to abandon the Amani clan and fled back without looking back. their respective territories.
Small clans such as Huoshu and Burning Thorn were determined to follow the tribe and fight in all directions. They were defeated together with the tribe in the decisive battle in the Burning Plains and fled into the Black Rock Tower in panic.
These small clans of forest trolls later became the subordinates of Red Blackhand, the warchief of the "real tribe", and were also enslaved by the Black Dragon Crown Prince Nefarian.
The Deadwood Clan is fighting with the Kingdom of Stromgard in the Arathi Highlands, and the Vilebranch Trolls of the Hinterlands are also busy competing with the Wildhammer dwarves, unable to spare any effort to aid Amani.
The Moss Clan located in the north of East Tirisfal, near the entrance to Eversong Forest, can rush to help at any time.
But their base, Zumashal, has been closely monitored by the rangers guarding the gates of Salas. Any disturbance will be reported to Ranger General Sylvanas as soon as possible.
Ensuring no external support was one of the reasons why the Sun King decided to attack Zul'Aman.
Another reason has to be mentioned the internal fighting of the Amani clan.
Even as an enemy, Quel'Thalas has to admit that Zul'jin is a hero that is rare among forest trolls in thousands of years.
Without Zul'jin, the leaders of the leaderless Amani clan refused to obey anyone and fought for the position of the new chief.
Different from the Zandalari group of urban trolls who entered civilization early, the forest trolls who were ridiculed by Zandalari as country people have relatively primitive customs and have always respected the strong.
Zul'jin's bloodline was severed, and in theory, anyone from the Amani clan was eligible to compete for the position of chief.
But in the end, only six people clearly stood up to join the competition, namely Dragon Eagle Priest Gayalai, Giant Bear Priest Nalorak, Eagle Priest Aikilson, Lynx Priest Harraz, and Magic Lord Malaka Si and Warlord Dakara.
They were the six people in charge of the Amani clan. As soon as Zuljin died, the ambitions of these people that had been suppressed immediately began to expand, and they all wanted to seize the position of the supreme chief.
As early as a few months ago, Anasteria decided to use troops against Zul'Aman. He sent the thieves of the Backlight Blade to scout for intelligence around Zul'Aman.
Zul'Aman's large wooden door reinforced by voodoo magic has always been tightly closed, and headhunters patrol the moss-covered city wall from time to time.
Defeats and internal fighting had a great impact on the overall strength of the Amani clan, and their patrol strength was barely sufficient in peacetime.
However, under the high-intensity reconnaissance of the high elves intent on launching a war, the Backlight Blade elites still obtained some useful information.
After hearing the information, Sarlayan had one thought.
The trees fell and the hozens scattered.
After more than two years of long fighting, the internal strife in Zul'Aman has gradually become clearer, and the warlord Dakara has gradually gained the upper hand.
If he is allowed to continue to consolidate his influence, in another 1-2 years at most, Amani will reunite and once again bring continuous trouble to Quel'Thalas after regaining its strength.
Anastria did not want to leave this trouble to Kael'thas, who was about to take over and had insufficient governance experience. He decided to seize the last opportunity before the internal fighting between the opponent was over and completely eliminate it before he abdicated. Pingzu Aman.
When the Morning Frontier Legion was launched under the guidance of the Silver Wolf, Ranger General Sylvanas also issued the order in a timely manner.
"Fire the siege crossbow! Break through that voodoo gate!"
"The arcane puppet is activated! Follow the Morning Frontier Legion through the door!"
The siege weapon of Quel'Thalas is a wheeled, self-propelled magical crossbow.
These giant crossbows have been modified to suit the characteristics of the high elves. The huge crossbow arrows can be infused with the magic power of the sun well, making them very powerful.
Under Sylvanas's command, more than a dozen siege crossbows lined up in front of Zul'Aman were fired at the same time.
"Boom! Boom!"
The crossbow arrows hit the city wall and city gate with a dull roar. The city gate strengthened by voodoo magic was very strong and remained strong under the heavy blows of many crossbow arrows, but some cracks had begun to appear on the door.
The Amani trolls, who were busy fighting among themselves, realized something was wrong when the siege crossbow was pushed out, but the high elves' attack speed was too fast, and they were attacked before they could react further.
Seeing that the siege crossbow failed to break through the city gate, Sarlayan, who was sprinting at high speed, accelerated explosively again, opening a small distance from the knights behind him.
"Suck~"
The giant wolf raised his head slightly while running, and the bright light quickly gathered into his big mouth with fangs.
"Ouch!!"
Breathing dragon's breath, the huge silver wolf aimed at the city gate and spit out a bright silver beam of light.
The power originating from the wolf god Goldrinn hit the city gate heavily.
The already crumbling voodoo door was finally breached. The troll warriors standing behind the door screamed and were knocked away by the slightly weakened light beam, and their broken limbs were scattered on the ground.
The giant wolf transformed by Sarlayan was the first to rush through the gate, and the tattered city gate was completely opened. The Morning Frontier Legion followed closely without slowing down, and this torrent of steel poured into Zul'Aman one after another.
Sarlayan, who was running at the front, could see at a glance the chief's platform located in the deepest part of Zul'Aman, with a thoroughfare leading straight to the bottom.
They were busy fighting each other a moment ago, but now the Amani trolls panicked and showed off their horses.
"Front Arrow Formation, attack!"
As the name suggests, the sharp arrow formation looks like an arrow ready to go. It is an offensive formation.
Compared with the more aggressive Fish Scale Formation, the Front Arrow Formation protects the two flanks better and can be considered both offensive and defensive. The only weakness is the rear of the formation.
However, it is basically impossible for a cavalry that rushes at high speed to be stabbed from behind. This weakness can be ignored.
The hastily placed Juma had no effect at all in front of the already fast-moving Morning Front Legion.
Under Liadrin's command, the paladins in their sharp arrow formations released holy light in unison, like an arrow made of golden light, rushing wildly along the chaotic central avenue of Zul'Aman, killing all those in the way. People and objects were violently knocked apart.
The synchronized holy light blocked the incoming spells and arrows, and pushed the battle line to the steps of the chief's platform with a crushing force.
"Change formation, Fangyuan!"
The sprint with horsepower is limited, and it smashed through the defense line set up by the Amani Troll in a hurry. The momentum of the Morning Frontier Army was finally exhausted.
Under Sarlayan's order, the slowed down Paladin quickly changed its formation, transforming the sharp arrow formations that were widely spaced from each other into a dense square formation.
This is a typical defensive formation. The knights in front have dismounted, taken back their lances, and taken out their one-handed weapons and shields. The paladins in the center also blessed their comrades in the front row with sacrifice blessings to share the damage they suffered.
Before Quel'Thalas launched the attack, Warlord Dakara had a premonition due to the recent unusual movements in the forest.
He issued a call to other priests and sorcerer lords, calling on each other to temporarily stop fighting among themselves and unite to defend against the coming foreign enemies.
Facts have proved that as a military commander, Dakara's sensitivity to war was correct.
Unfortunately, not everyone is Dakkara, and his appeal did not arouse everyone's attention.
When the Morning Frontier Army entered the city, except for Dakara, only Narolak and Malacas responded to the call and came to the chief's platform to meet up, while the other three were busy scheming.
Since the Morning Frontier Legion was secretly formed only recently, Dakara had no idea that the high elves had actually raised a cavalry force with astonishing impact.
Due to deliberate arithmetic and unintentional calculations, multiple unfavorable factors were superimposed, which caused the Amani Troll's defense to collapse at the first touch, and was directly attacked in front of the Chief's Platform.
Dakara gritted his teeth anxiously: "Damn it! The enemy actually attacked the core in one fell swoop... Narorak, Malacas, lend me your troops! First repel the attack of the high elves and then discuss other matters!"
