After sensing the abnormal energy fluctuations from the top of Zinsaro Mountain, Merinthra, who had been hiding on the edge of the battlefield to fish and watch, finally stood up.
"Sure enough." Melinsela stood next to Sarlayan, frowning and looking at the evil Sinsaro: "Yinsarios's guess is correct. Jindu did come from the Atakah Temple. Several eggs of Hakkar were brought out."
Sarlayan took some time out of his busy schedule to glance at Melinsela, who looked unhappy: "Aren't the Green Dragons planning to participate in the attack on the Atal'a'aka Temple?"
Melinsela shook her head: "As long as Hakkar himself does not appear in the temple, the Green Dragon Legion will not intervene rashly."
"The Kingdom of Stormwind has made it clear that it will investigate and deal with this matter in depth. Mother believes that they can successfully deal with the remnants of Atalai hiding in the temple."
"Compared with Atta, who is already a withered skeleton in the grave, it is more important to deal with the leaked eggs of Haka."
Sarlayan asked thoughtfully: "Did Yinsarios say how many eggs of Hakkar Jindu took away?"
"He didn't give a clear answer, but he did have some speculation."
Melinsela explained: "It is logical to speculate that if you want to avoid the Green Dragon Legion's surveillance in the Swamp of Sorrows, Jindu cannot carry more than 3 large eggs of Hakkar. There is a high probability that only Two."
"One of them was used in the Battle of Zul'Gurub, and the other is right before our eyes."
Sarlayan raised his eyebrows and asked, "So? Aren't you going to take action?"
Melinsela smiled bitterly and shook her head: "It's too late. The Evil Branch Troll has established a communication channel with Hakkar through this large-scale blood sacrifice... Let's see."
As soon as Melinsera finished speaking, everyone near Zinsaro felt their bodies sink at the same time. A certain sense of indiscriminate pressure caused the Evil Branch Troll and the three-tribe coalition forces who were fighting each other to temporarily stop everything. action.
"Tsk!"
Sarlayan rubbed his eyebrows with a headache: "Valeela and I discussed this topic before."
"Because of the Battle of Hyjal that took place almost at the same time, we were unable to go to Zul'Gurub to assist the Darkspear Trolls in defeating Hakkar. We never expected that we would get the chance to fight Hakkar again in the Hinterlands... whatever."
Opening his big hands and rubbing his cheeks, Sharlayan quickly regained his composure and looked sharply at the silhouette of the Wind Serpent that was rapidly forming in the sky above Zinsaro.
"Since we can't escape the battle with Haka, let us face it bravely."
"Melinsela, will you participate in this battle?"
"Of course." Melinsela responded affirmatively without hesitation: "That's why I came here."
…
The pressure of Hakkar the Soul Reaver is not limited to the vicinity of Zinzaro. Stromgarde and the Wildhammer dwarves who are fighting the witherwood trolls in Shadralo also feel this inexplicable sense of oppression.
It's just that the pressure they feel is not as obvious as that of Sarlayan and others who are close to Chi Chi.
"This is……"
Danaus Trollbane, who held a sword and shield in hand and went into battle personally to fight, shook off the blood on the blade of his sword and turned his head to look east of Shadraro with a solemn expression.
"Falstad!"
"I am here!"
After hearing Danas's call, Falstad, who was throwing the Storm Hammer above the battlefield, immediately retrieved the spinning hammer and controlled the griffon under him to quickly land next to Danas.
"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements to go check out the situation. I suspect this is the secret weapon hidden by the Evil Branch Troll."
Danas took a deep breath and calmed down the uneven breathing rhythm caused by continuous fighting.
"Leave it to Sharlayan. With him personally in charge, I don't think Evil Branch can turn the situation around."
Falstad nodded in agreement and said: "No matter what happens in Zinsaro, we must complete our mission according to Sarlayan's plan."
"Get rid of these trapped deadwood trolls as soon as possible. The era of trolls has long passed. Once this war is over, the forest trolls will completely withdraw from the main stage of history in the Eastern Kingdom."
"Ha~" A slightly ferocious smile appeared on Danas' face: "Well said! The ancestral teachings of the Trollbane family are that only dead trolls are good trolls!"
"Stromgaard! Leave no one alive, just let me kill you!"
"yes!"
"Haha! So ambitious!"
Falstad, who already had a bold personality, was also infected by Danas' fighting spirit and controlled the griffin to fly into the sky again.
"Wildhammer Knights! We can't lag behind our friendly forces. We must go all out to kill these man-eating monsters that are out of date!"
"Roar!"
…
Under the two-sided attack led by Falstad and Danas personally, the battle situation in the western Hinterlands has become relatively clear. It is only a matter of time before the withered tree trolls are defeated.
At the same time, the main force of the Evil Branch, which set off from the Altar of Zul and quickly returned to aid Sinsaro, was fiercely blocked by the Morning Frontier Legion.
The paladins charging at full speed formed a formation, with Liadrin, the most powerful legion leader, as the arrow. Like a sharp arrow leaving the string, they used the cover of the woods to penetrate the evil branch army from the side. In the long snake formation.
In order to rush on as quickly as possible, the commander of the Evil Branch Troll no longer cared about keeping his troops in good order.
Due to the differences in the footsteps of different soldiers, the formation of the evil branch trolls running at full strength was inevitably stretched into a long and irregular line.
Such a sloppy formation would naturally collapse under the impact of the well-prepared Chenfeng Legion.
Thanks to the ample supply of funds, the knights of the Morning Frontier Legion were even fully armed with their war horses. The Evil Branch Trolls that rushed back in haste could not even penetrate the holy light shields on the knights' bodies.
After turning around and charging for two consecutive rounds, the Evil Branch Troll's one-word long snake formation was divided into two parts that could not correspond to each other.
"Damn it!"
Commander Xie Zhi, who was rushing at the front of the team, had a sudden change of expression. He could not make up his mind for a moment, whether to return to the army and use his superior strength to annihilate this sudden cavalry unit.
At this moment, several strange machines that he had never seen before suddenly rushed out of the woods, followed closely behind the enemy cavalry regiment, and attacked the cut-off Evil Branch army.
The two tanks in front were equipped with large-caliber, high-rate magic machine guns. Under the operation of technicians, the machine guns with arcane flames spitting out tongues of fire from the muzzles were like harvesting wheat, killing those straight evil monsters who were standing in place without knowing why. The branch trolls were defeated one by one.
Trolls have a very strong self-healing ability. As long as they are not unlucky enough to be hit in a vital point, the injured and fallen person will be able to regain their fighting strength after a while.
However, the deterrent effect of this high-frequency combo weapon, which had never appeared before, was far stronger than its lethality. No matter how injured the Evil Branch Troll fell to the ground, no one dared to stand up again.
But if they thought they could escape the fate of death by lying down and pretending to be dead, they would be totally wrong.
"boom!"
The self-propelled magic artillery tank equipped with heavy weapons opened fire at just this moment, and the specially adjusted arcane high-explosive ammunition quickly exploded in the Evil Branch Troll's formation.
Many trolls who were still lying on the grass were unprepared and blasted into the sky by the impact. The "parts" that fell from their bodies fell on those comrades who were lucky enough to escape, further destroying the evil branch trolls. fighting will.
Fortunately, there were not many enemy war weapons with astonishing power. Commander Xie Zhi, who originally wanted to return to the army to fight, subconsciously moved forward like a frightened bird and made a "strategic shift".
As the commander's banner evacuated the battlefield, the front army that was cut off by the Morning Front Legion ran away without hesitation, leaving about half of the rear army behind, desperate to face the muzzles of the guns, which turned towards their own. Strange war weapons.
…
Before finding out the specific situation on the top of Zinsaro, Sarlayan, who never fought without preparation, did not attack rashly and continued to sit patiently and wait for the army.
According to the report of the gryphon knight scouts, the Morning Frontier Legion, which unexpectedly attacked the enemy, achieved great results, intercepting about half of the enemy's main force.
"Half...that's fine too."
Sarlayan calmly commanded the Marines who had been reserved to face the enemy to take up their positions.
Using a temporary bunker built with arcane magic, the Marines with loaded guns each entered the shooting position and aimed their guns in the direction where the enemy was about to appear.
After using the eagle eye technique to visually see the enemy's vanguard, Sarlayan immediately issued an order to the messenger.
"Gunner, Xu Jin's barrage is ready... to fire!"
