Wait, Ellanra is just the leader of the Rogue Guild, not a military commander. Why is she here to receive him? Are all the other military commanders in Quitalin dead?
"That's right, Michaela, all the other commanders are dead, so now we can only take care of things."
Ellanla raised her hand and put it back. Michaela looked around and saw that they were all acquaintances, Seydana from the Mages Guild, and Aldran from the Priests Guild...
Eh!
Alderaan, why are you looking at me with such affection?
For a moment, Michaela panicked, afraid...
"People are not looking at you!"
Torina complained: "Stop being so sentimental."
Sure enough, Little Feiya ran out of the team, threw herself into Alderaan's arms, and shouted excitedly: "Teacher!"
Alderaan also touched his apprentice's little head and said: "Little Feiya, you are here."
Phew, not bad.
Michaela let out a long sigh of relief. Alderaan was only looking at his disciples, not at me, but what was going on with that scorching vision? Who is staring at me!
Just like this, Michaela turned her head and met Seydana's eyes. The latter's hot eyes almost roasted Michaela...
Protruding!
Saiyidanna, why are you staring at me!
Torina complained unceremoniously: "Who allowed someone to sit behind your chocobo..."
Eh!
Michaela understood, Saidana would be jealous, this guy...
"Ah, Seydanna..."
When Kaifas from the Mage Guild saw his goddess, he immediately approached her and wanted to get close to her. Then his level of observation was obviously not good enough. Saidanna was angry, so how could he pay attention to him, and turned around and left on the spot.
Now that Kaifas's is up, what about Union from the Rogue Guild?
This guy actually took action a long time ago, but was put aside by the more experienced Ellanla, and not even Michaela noticed...
Anyway, the reinforcements entered Quintalin.
However, Michaela didn't know that an outsider had slipped into the reinforcement transport unit. She was none other than Louise, a reporter from "The Sun"!
Louise's motive is not difficult to guess, because Mikayla asked Humphrey for help to "persuade" Frank, the manager of "The Sun", so that Louise's report exposing Mikayla could not be published in the newspaper, making him resentful. mind.
Therefore, this time Louise sneaked into the team and came to Quintalin in order to prepare a report that discredited Micaela, and the first article had already begun to be prepared.
"Let me think about how to write it."
Louise walked into Quintalin, hid in a corner and took out her notebook. After thinking for a moment, she quickly came up with an idea and wrote the title of the report:
""The Foolish Minister Comes to Quitalin"!"
Speaking back to Michaela, as a commander, his first priority after arriving in Quettalin was to receive and review the troops.
The previous army in Quettaline had a combat strength of 1,000 and a logistics strength of 2,000. After this period of fighting, there were 200 casualties, and the actual number of combatants was only 800. In addition to the 500 combatants brought by Michaela, There are a total of 1,300 combat personnel and 3,000 logistics personnel.
Of course, the 3,000 logistics personnel does not mean that they are all in Quitalin, because the land of ghosts is greatly affected by the decaying air of the undead, and there is no sunlight in the sky. As a result, there is no food supply in the area at all, and they can only rely on transfers from Silver Moon City. .
Therefore, the logistics force of 3,000 people has to transport back and forth between Yongsong Forest and the Land of Ghosts. Therefore, the actual transportation force in Quitalin only consists of the 1,000 people that Michaela just brought here.
When leading troops to fight, laymen look at the strategy, while experts look at the logistics.
Michaela had experience as a soldier in his previous life, so after taking over the troops, he immediately rushed into the former commander's office and checked the logistics records and combat reports. He wanted to know first-hand information!
According to the documents, the former commander of Qutalin, Ketrell, was a subordinate of Ranger General Halduron Brightwing. He was a professional soldier and was not bad at marching and fighting. After he entered Quitalin, he did not approach rashly. Instead, he first cleared the logistics channels and cleared out the Golden Mist Village in the northwest corner of the Ghost Land and the Sun Corona Village in the northeast corner. Then he turned around and headed south to defeat Dai. The ziggurat defense line north of the Somme.
Among them, the undead occupying Golden Mist Village are various ghosts, while the natural disaster troops occupying Sun Crown Village are spider demons...
Wait, Nerubian?
Michaela remembered that when they were ambushed before, there were spider demons in the ambush force of the Scourge. Since the ambush was located on the north side of the Ghost Land, based on the geographical location, it was possible to dispatch the ambush force from Dysholm. Not big, after all, Dysom is in the south of the map, too far away.
Could it be that the spider demons in Sun Crown Village have not been cleaned up?
etc!
Michaela suddenly remembered something and immediately asked Torina in the spiritual world: "Torina, can you look through the memories of my previous life and see if there is any information related to Corona Village?"
"okay!"
It must be admitted that Torina is really reliable when she is serious. After just a few seconds, she pulled out the memory file and said:
"Michaela, I look at your memory. In the game "World of Warcraft", there are two tasks related to Corona Village."
"The first one is 'Sun Corona Village'. The content is that the spider demons have occupied the Sun Crown Village, and then let the players go there to kill the spider demons."
"The second one is 'Anoksu Tower', which says that the spider demon has a leader and the player is required to kill him."
Sure enough!
Mikayla did not find any record of killing the Nerubian leader in the file. Apparently the former commander Ketrell did not know that there was a Nerubian leader in Corona Village, which led him to lead the team away after cleaning up. .
Michaela deduced that the spider demon leader Anoksuta must have regrouped the spider demons later, so the presence of the spider demons in the previous ambush team was explained.
Logistics access must be guaranteed. Mikaela has made a decision. She must first lead a team to attack Sun Corona Village and kill Arnoxuta, the leader of the spider demons, to ensure smooth logistics access!
But before heading to Corona Village, Mikaela must know whether the Scourge forces in Dysholm will launch an attack while she leaves Quitalin...
Fortunately, it turns out not to be the case!
According to the documents, when the former commander Ketrell was clearing two villages, Dysholm's natural disaster forces did not launch an attack to contain them, but allowed them to act.
Michaela speculated that the war in the Eastern Plaguelands further south of the Ghost Land was tense, which caused Desom's undead troops to be restrained and unable to attack easily.
Speaking of which, at this point in time, the Dread Lord Balnazzar should have taken over the body of the great lord Saidan Dathrohan, and then led the elite of the Scarlet Crusade to invade Stratholme and occupy the Scarlet Church. .
He was probably the reason why the natural disaster troops were restrained. I didn't expect that the crazy people of the Scarlet Crusade would be able to do some human work.
Since the natural disaster troops cannot take the initiative to attack, the initiative in the war falls into their own hands!
This is good news.
Mikayla continued to look through the files, looking at the battle records.
After clearing the two villages, former commander Ketrell led the troops south to attack the ziggurat defense line.
The so-called ziggurat defense line is located in the north of Desom, with the two ziggurats built on the left and right sides of the middle part of the Death Scar as the core, of which the blood ziggurat is on the left and the ghostly howling ziggurat is on the right.
Since the natural disaster crystals on the top of the two ziggurats can launch powerful magical bombardments, the blood elves' troops seriously lacked the means to siege the city, resulting in their delay in taking the ziggurat.
Seeing this, Mikaela, who has been educated in the theory of modern warfare on Earth, knew that the defense model of the Scourge Legion was a vertical defense system, with two ziggurats as portals to defend the Dysom Fortress behind it.
Moreover, the Dysom Fortress is backed by a mountain, making it impossible to sneak around and attack from behind. If you want to capture Dysom, you must first break through the solid ziggurat defense line from the front.
However, according to the battle records, the former commander Ketrell launched many attacks, but all ended in failure. Over time, his mentality will inevitably become unbalanced. So later, when Catril discovered that the two ziggurats suddenly misfired, he hurriedly led his team through the ziggurat defense line and rushed directly into Desom. As a result, he was killed by a trick and died.
From the perspective of a bystander, people would definitely think that Catril was stupid and would fall for such an obvious scam.
But Michaela could understand the commander's mentality. People would lose their cool if they were unable to win for a long time. In this case, as long as the local commander was slightly provocative, he would basically fall into the trap.
"What's more, the commander of Desom's natural disaster forces is Darkan."
Torina even reminded: "It was because of his betrayal that Silvermoon City was massacred, so the blood elves almost hated Darkan to death."
Yes, Torina is right to add that when you face your enemies, you will also lose your cool.
To sum up, under the dual influence of being at a disadvantage for a long time and facing the enemy directly, Ketrell finally lost his cool and fell into Darkan's scheme of "luring the enemy deeper".
"But the same strategy won't work on you."
Torina continued: "Because you, Michaela, are a time traveler and can be calm, rational and objective..."
"Shut up, Torina!"
Michaela shouted: "I'm thinking of countermeasures."
"Oh, is it so?"
Torina suddenly laughed and said, "Then I won't remind you that your sister has been calling you next to you!"
Ah, ah?
"elder brother?"
Only then did Michaela realize that she was so focused on reading the document that she ignored her sister Marlenia, who had been waiting beside her.
"Yes, sorry."
Michaela then put down the document and stood up from her seat: "Marenia, I ignored you."
"Um……"
However, Marlenia hesitated and said: "Ellanla asked me to remind you that it's time to have dinner."
The army is not a straggler. There is a fixed time for meals. This is called organization. No exception will be made for a certain person. If Michaela misses the dinner time, she will probably have to eat dry bread.
Michaela also just discovered that she was so focused on reading the documents that she lost track of time. There is no other way. I can only put the battle records aside and go eat first...
At the same time, in Desom's fortress, Darkan was also making his own preparations:
"Michaela, you will see soon the gift I have carefully prepared for you..."
