Since the Stormwind City reinforcements had just arrived in Arathi and were not yet familiar with the battlefield situation, in the next few days, senior commander Halford Wyrmbane was not in a hurry to throw the troops into the battlefield, but first explained it to his subordinates. local situation.
So Celestine and others also took this opportunity to understand the situation in the Arathi Basin.
The Arathi Basin is located deep in the Arathi Highlands Mountains. It is a basin structure that runs from northwest to southeast. The Alliance's base, Trollbane Hall, is located in the northwest corner, while the Horde's base, Defiler's Hall, is located in the southeast corner.
Starting from Trollbane Hall, the first stronghold encountered is the animal pen. This is the choke point for the alliance base. If this place is not captured, the alliance army will have no choice but to be blocked by the Horde army. can not go out.
There are three roads through the animal pen: north, middle and south.
Among them, the north road goes down to a lowland, which is the second stronghold mine; the middle road crosses a stone bridge to reach the central island, where is the stronghold blacksmith shop in the center of the entire battlefield. This place is connected in all directions and has always been a battleground for military strategists. The south road goes up to a hill. This is the fourth stronghold, the lumberyard. This is also the commanding height of the entire battlefield, overlooking the entire area.
The above three roads of north, middle and south will eventually converge to the stronghold farm in the southeast. The strategic position of this area is similar to that of the animal pen. It is the exit of the polluter hall of the tribe's base. As long as the farm is stuck, the tribe's The army blocks back!
Of course, for today's Alliance army, the five strongholds in Arathi Basin are all occupied by the Defiler Legion and are in a state of being blocked. They must first recover the animal pens before they can qualify.
In order to counterattack after the negotiation, senior commander Halford Wirmbane planned to attack the animal pen first.
That's how it should be.
But after Celestine learned the above, he said to his team and dozens of other city warriors around him:
"Can we go directly across the battlefield to capture the farm after the war begins? As long as we capture the farm, we can cut off the connection between the tribe base and other strongholds."
Obviously, Celestine didn't know why he said this. After all, the five strongholds were in the hands of the tribe. It was simply impossible to cross the battlefield and occupy the farm stronghold.
But that's how interesting it is.
do you remember?
Stormwind City's reinforcements are divided into two parts: regular troops and recruited warriors. If they were regular troops, they would definitely not follow Celestine's advice, because that would be suicide.
But the warriors are different.
The so-called warriors are actually the adventurers in Stormwind City who are eager to get ahead. These guys are all ruthless characters who dare to risk their lives.
Celestine's plan is indeed dangerous, but as long as it succeeds, it can reverse the situation in the Battle of Arathi in one fell swoop. How much credit is that, and how big a reward can you get?
Give it a try, your bicycle will turn into an aircraft carrier, and your prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life will depend on this!
Two days later, on Wednesday, High Commander Halfur Wyrmbane left Trollbane's Hall and headed toward the stables with Stormwind reinforcements.
What?
What are the Arathor coalition doing?
They are sleeping.
It's 7 o'clock in the morning, which is still early before the battle time is 9 o'clock...
That's right, Senior Commander Halford Wymbane's plan is to use the Defiler Legion's 996 battle
According to the rules, attack them before 9 o'clock and catch them by surprise.
Of course, since the members of the Defiler Legion are all undead, they do not need to sleep, so when Stormwind City's troops arrived in front of the animal pen, guards had already discovered it.
However, the Defiler Legion did not organize a defense and did not contact reinforcements. However, it sent a representative out of the stronghold and shouted to the Stormwind Army:
"Hey, what are you doing? It's only 7 o'clock in the morning. It's not fighting time at all. Go back quickly...ah!"
The people in Stormwind City don't care whether you are 955 or 996. They will chop you down as long as you are an enemy. This poor representative was chopped down to the ground by the Stormwind City soldiers who rushed up on the spot.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
Fortunately, the Defiler Legion was not a fool. After seeing one of its own people being killed, it finally sounded the alarm and started to organize a defense. Unfortunately, it was too late. The soldiers from Stormwind City had already rushed into the stronghold and merged with the Defiler defenders.
At the same time, Celestine, who also rushed to the animal pen, did not join the battlefield after seeing the melee inside the stronghold. Instead, he summoned his team and the warriors who were willing to follow him before, and said:
"Come on, let's go to the farm!"
"good!"
In this way, Celestine led a group of warriors and headed towards the farm along the road north of the stable.
At first, Celestine and others were still on alert with weapons in hand. After all, they had broken into enemy-occupied territory and were likely to be intercepted by the enemy.
However, perhaps because it was not 9 o'clock in the morning, the Polluter Legion soldiers encountered along the way did not intend to pay attention to them at all, and there were even a few skeletons who took the initiative to attack Seiler.
Sting and others waved.
"Good morning."
"Well, good morning."
Seeing that the enemy had no intention of starting a fight, Celestine and others simply put away their weapons and moved forward at full speed, finally daring to arrive at the north of the farm at 8:45.
"Here we are."
Celestine motioned for everyone to take a short break while observing the movements of the Defiler Legion in the farm.
There are not many Polluter soldiers in the farm, only one or two hundred. A figure wearing armor who looks like a captain is lecturing the soldiers. The general idea is that the alliance in the northwest does not respect martial ethics and does not launch attacks during battle time, resulting in beasts The situation in the bar is in crisis, and reinforcements are being organized at the three strongholds of the mine, blacksmith and lumber camp.
Although Celestine doesn't understand the situation, she knows that now is a great opportunity to attack the farm!
"Come on, occupy the farm!"
As Celestine raised her arms, dozens of warriors present followed her and charged towards the Forgotten soldiers on the farm.
"Huh?"
"what happened?"
"Why are people from the Alliance here!"
"It's 8:55 now, it's not even battle time yet!"
"ah!"
The warriors didn't care what the Defiler soldiers thought. Titus took the lead and raised a sledgehammer to kill an unresponsive soldier on the spot. Diego followed closely and swung his sword to kill another person.
The rest of the warriors also rushed into the stronghold and engaged in a melee with the Defiler soldiers who had just reacted.
Because the Defiler soldiers were not prepared to fight hastily, many of them did not even put on armor. They only drew their short swords for self-defense and fought. They fell into a disadvantage on the spot and were massacred by the warriors of Stormwind City.
at the same time,
In the conference room on the third floor of the Polluter Hall in the southeast, the commander of the Polluter Legion, Slaughterer Duvel, was talking to the Legion's senior officers, Sir Marowell, Dizzy Snowban, Martin Lindsay and Skeleton King Ke. We will have a meeting to discuss the current situation together.
"According to the news brought by Undead Sentinel Mortis from the Undercity." Slaughterer Duvel took the document in his hand, patted it on the round conference table, and said:
"The ambassador sent by Orgrimmar to Stormwind City has returned and told us that Stormwind City has decided to send troops to support the Arathi Basin. A few days ago, Quartermaster Rutherford Thune attended a Sunday party in Trollbane Hall. When we were there, we were attacked by an unknown army, and that army was probably Stormwind City’s reinforcements.”
Sir Marowell, who was on the left, said: "Would the green-skinned orcs in Orgrimmar be so kind and take the initiative to tell us information? I don't believe it!"
"That's right."
Dizzy Snowban on the right nodded in agreement: "I think the orcs want to embarrass us, and then use support as an excuse to take a share of the resources in the Arathi Basin."
Martin Lindsay, who was sitting opposite, said: "But the five strongholds in the Arathi Basin are currently in our hands. As long as we have the resources produced by the basin, we don't need to rely on Orgrimmar."
"For the Queen of Darkness, we must
Revenge will be completed! "
Duvel the Slaughterer said: "So we must be prepared for defense and we must not let the soldiers of Stormwind City retake the stronghold!"
"yes!"
The other legions present nodded in agreement.
But Slaughterer Duvel noticed that the skeleton sitting on the left side of Martin Lindsay
King Skull Keldo didn't say a word, as if he was thinking about something.
"What's wrong, Kel'dor?" Duvel the Slaughterer asked.
Skeleton King Keldo said: "Actually, I have been thinking about a question since we joined the tribe."
"what is the problem?"
Everyone present looked at him. Skeleton King Keldo also paused for a few seconds and said in a low tone characteristic of the undead:
"We, the Forsaken, have been able to grow to the point where we are now only because of the resource support from the orcs, but we all know that this support is limited, and the orcs cannot just sit back and watch us grow infinitely."
"So, I'm worried."
Skeleton King Keldor spoke again: "Orgrimmar suddenly began to pay attention to the situation on Arathi, which may be a sign that they have decided to intervene. Combined with the reinforcements sent by Stormwind City at this time, I think the situation may be worse than ours. It was more complicated than expected.”
As soon as these words came out, the venue fell silent. The senior officials of the Defiler Legion present were not fools. They all had their own insights into politics and the situation. Obviously, Skeleton King Keldo's words hit home.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that Duvel the Slayer spoke: "No matter what, for the victory of the Dark Queen, we must permanently control the Arathi Basin. If reinforcements from Stormwind City come, then we will fight them back."
"really."
Skeleton King Keldor also agreed with this and said: "As long as we can defeat the reinforcements sent by Stormwind City, then there will be no reason for the orcs to intervene. And the current situation is very beneficial to us. We only need to defend five At the base..."
But at this moment, the door of the conference room
Suddenly being pushed away, an anxious figure rushed into the conference room:
"No, it's not good anymore."
Because the memory was interrupted, Slaughterer Duvel seemed a little annoyed. She stood up from her seat and asked the person at the door:
"What's going on Mortis? Don't you know we are in a meeting!"
Mortis, the undead sentry, pointed to the window of the conference room and said: "Farm, farm!"
"farm?"
"What happened to the farm?"
The senior officials of the Polluter Legion present stood up one after another and looked towards the farm through the window of the conference room. They happened to see the Polluter flag originally erected in the center of the farm being cut off by someone with a sword. The rope fell from the flagpole, and then represented the storm. The city's lion battle flag was hoisted.
"How can this be!"
Slaughterer Duvel exclaimed: "Why was the farm stronghold breached by the Alliance? Aren't they still attacking the stables!"
