Sarlayan made a lot of preparations to eliminate the threat of the Drakkari trolls to the new city of Shandarara.
Allied with the Grizzly Maw Furbolgs, instigated a confrontation between the Iron Legion and Drakkari, and transported elite legions from the mainland to prepare for war.
But there is a saying that goes well: plans cannot keep up with changes.
The plan is just a rough outline to ensure the direction of action. You still need to adapt to various emergencies when encountering them.
Just like an author writing a book and an artist painting a painting, frames are generally not made overly detailed.
Because creators often have various whimsical ideas during the creative process, an outline that is too detailed will restrict the creator's ability to express himself freely.
Sarlayan did consider that the hot-tempered Drakkari troll might start a head-on war with the equally tough-minded Iron Legion, but he did not intend to place all his hopes on Loken's reaction.
In order to ensure that the plan proceeds smoothly in the direction he envisioned, Sarlayan also roped in the grizzly-maw furbolgs as insurance, allowing them to deliberately show weakness to the enemy in order to paralyze the Drakkari trolls.
Even if Drakkari withdraws the elite guarding the northern line at the critical moment, Sarlayan is confident that he can break through the Drak'Salon Fortress before they return for reinforcements.
However, I wonder if Sarlayan was too cautious.
Loken cooperated very well and ordered the Iron Legion to teach Drakkari a lesson, and the two sides fought fiercely on the northern battlefield.
Due to the strong combat power of the Iron Legion, the Drakkari trolls had to transfer a large number of elite troops to the northern front, leaving the defense of Drak'Saron Fortress empty.
The two armies of high elves and grey-maw furbolgs attacked and easily broke through the defense of Drak'saron Fortress without making too many sacrifices.
Wind Snake Luo Asalonya is the last obstacle that prevents the coalition forces from taking over the fortress. As long as it is captured, the Draxalon Fortress will completely change hands.
Just when Sarlayan was planning to rush into the fortress first to create chaos and create a better opportunity for the Morning Herald Legion to break in from the main entrance, he suddenly saw Salonya abandoning his lair and evacuating north with a few priests. .
Although I don’t know what the top leaders of the Drakkari trolls think about it, Saronya’s escape is good news for both the high elves and the grey-maw furbolgs.
The silver wolf that Sarlayan transformed stood high on the fortress wall, looking up to the sky and letting out a desolate and distant wolf howl, attracting the attention of everyone on the battlefield.
"The enemy's last resort, Loa, has fled! The remaining remnants are nothing to be afraid of!"
"Soldiers! Charge with me! Take down this sinful fortress in one go!"
"Roar!"
Sharlayan's cheers echoed throughout the land, causing completely different effects on both sides of the war.
The morale of the furbolgs and high elves became even higher. The Morning Frontier Legion, which was the first to break into the fortress, relied on the impact of its horses to easily penetrate the troll defenders who had no intention of fighting.
Stellagosa also used anti-gravity spells to float into the city. The trolls that were still resisting were suppressed by Sharlayan and Little Star, and the two quickly cleared a safe space in the fortress square.
Before jumping into the city, Sarlayan was ready for a hard fight.
However, the development of the situation was somewhat unexpected. Seeing Saronya escape with their own eyes, the trolls who stayed behind immediately realized that they had become worthless abandoned children.
The coalition forces that invaded the fortress encountered little resistance. The already demoralized Drakkari trolls almost collapsed at the first touch, and all they could think about was how to save their own lives.
Of course, not all trolls have lost their will to fight, but those iron-headed boys who still have a strong will to resist are only a minority and cannot affect the overall situation.
"Ouch!"
As the silver-white energy beam spewed out of the silver wolf's mouth penetrated the inner city gate, all defenses of Daxalon Fortress were completely removed.
In the words of an LSP in the barrage, the Draxalon Fortress at this moment is like a troll beauty opening her legs to high elves and furbolgs.
[Hey~ There are so many flaws that I don’t even know where to start. 】
[Am I the only one who pays attention to troll beauties? By the way, what are the criteria for trolls to judge beauty and ugliness? 】
[Hmm...the length of the fangs? 】
【length? Ah this... hso. 】
【? ? ? Something is wrong with you. 】
[Can beautiful trolls also be astringent? Gan, your xp is so weird. 】
The operation to capture Draxalon Fortress was much smoother than expected. The Morning Frontier Legion that drove straight in received almost no decent damage. Only some recruits injured themselves due to nervousness because they were on the battlefield for the first time.
Before Salonya received the news and evacuated, the warlord Zolmaz, who learned about the rear decision from another channel, left first.
Zolmaz moved to Daxalon Fortress originally to direct the battle situation on the north and south fronts nearby. Who knew that before his buttocks got hot, he was told that Daxalon Fortress had been abandoned.
The Drakkari Warlord, who was filled with anger, could only move northward in a hurry. Following the Frost King's order, he must push back the aggressive Iron Legion as soon as possible.
The young and strong remnants of the army who withdrew with Zolmaz did not follow him northward. Instead, they diverted to the functional level to build a defense line. It was necessary to ensure that the enemy forces converging on the southern line could not break through this second line of defense.
In fact, this is because Malak, the Frost King, is overthinking.
Neither the high elves nor the furbolgs plan to continue their attack. Taking the Draxalon Fortress is the strategic goal of the coalition forces.
Sarlayan did not even intend to flank the main force of the Drakkari that was still resisting the Iron Army in the northern part of the outer layer.
His purpose was not to destroy Drakkari, but to open up the supply and trade route from Howling Fjord to Crystalsong Forest.
With the Drakkari trolls in front to attract Loken's attention, the high elves can farm and build in Crystalsong Forest with peace of mind.
If further losses are caused to Drakkari's army and the Iron Army breaks through Zul'Drak's defenses, that will be a real big trouble.
Loken is more harmful to Azeroth than the Drakkari trolls.
In any case, trolls are native creatures of Azeroth. When faced with threats from other external forces, there is at least a chance for them to help.
Loken is different. This traitor has firmly surrendered to Yogg-Saron.
In order to cover up his evidence of crime, he would rather let the ancient gods resurrect the dark empire that perished in ancient times, and prepare for the future when the Titans return to Azeroth to question the crime.
The high elves and the forest trolls have a feud, but the senior leaders of Quel'Thalas, including Kael'thas, have no particular hatred for the frost trolls.
The reason why Sharlayan targeted the Drakkari was because they blocked the development path of Quel'Thalas and were likely to pose a threat to the new Shandalar.
Speaking of hatred, it is true that trolls hate the elves who have brought them immense shame.
On the other hand, just like Queen Azshara's disdainful attitude towards trolls, the elven descendants have no special views on trolls.
As long as you don't offend me or block my way, I don't care how you seek death. You're nothing more than a group of barbarians who haven't gotten rid of their primitive cannibalism.
After taking control of Draxalon Fortress, the allied forces of furbolgs and high elves began to clear away the remaining threats within the fortress.
Stellagosa used magic perception to travel throughout the castle to ensure that there were no hidden dangers such as secret passages left in the city.
Originally, Malak was ready to seize the power of Loa and defeat him to the death, but he did not expect that the coalition of high elves and furbolgs did not pursue the victory.
The engineering team and arcane puppets transferred from Crystal Song Forest quickly went to work.
Taking the eastern border of Crystalsong Forest and Drak'Saron Fortress as the starting point and ending point, Sharlayan plans to build a simple city wall in the southwest of Zul'Drak's outer layer to completely separate the northern part of the outer layer from the control area of the high elves. .
Time was short. In order to ensure that the city wall took shape quickly and show that the coalition had no intention of continuing to march, the workmanship of this city wall was relatively rough and would inevitably require multiple reinforcements in the future.
After receiving the news from the front, Malak asked the Ice Council for help in confusion.
"What do elves and furbolgs mean? You just want a Drak'Saron Fortress?"
With the trolls' attitude towards war, they will never be satisfied with the little gains they have in front of them. Once they win a battle, they will pursue the victory until their energy is exhausted.
What? Loss of troops?
I'm afraid it's a shame. At most, after a few years of training, a new batch of cubs will be added to the army.
Although I don’t understand why the high elves and furbolgs retreated so quickly, this is indeed good news for Drakkari. They can concentrate more troops to deal with the Iron Legion on the northern front.
Sarlayan is temporarily stationed in Drak'Saron Fortress. He plans to send a diplomatic envoy to Gur'Dak to negotiate with Drakkari after the situation cools down, forcing them to formally recognize Drak'Saron Fortress and the outer layer of Zul'Drak through diplomatic channels. The southwest belongs to Quel'Thalas.
"Tsk~ Don't worry about that much for now."
Malak punched the armrest of the throne in annoyance: "Only the necessary troops will be left to consolidate the defense line of the functional layer, and all other troops will be transferred to the northern front!"
"Mobilize Loa as much as possible. This time, we must let those steel monsters see the true strength of Drakkari!"
