"What’s wrong with you?"
Hearing the sound, Celestine looked back and saw that her teammates had found her sitting by the river.
Greyfax walked to Celestine: "Celestine, what's wrong with you? You have never been so decadent."
Diego also asked: "Celestine, what happened after you broke through the tribal lines? Is the tribal warlord very powerful?"
Since the farm battle ended with Celestine killing through the tribal lines alone, Diego and others did not see the duel between Celestine and Micaela. They only knew that after the battle, Celestine fled and followed the others to the blacksmith stronghold in the center of the Arathi Basin.
Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. It is normal for Celestine to be unable to defeat his opponent. However, Celestine's body after escaping had no scars on his body. It did not look like he had been defeated in the battle. Instead, he seemed to have been affected by some kind of evil spell. , completely lost his fighting spirit, and became very depressed.
No wonder her friends came over to care about her.
But Celestine just sighed and buried her face in her knees.
Seeing this, Belisarius Call turned to the others and said, "Oh, it seems the situation is not good."
Cato Sicarius thought: "I'm sorry, if only I had been by your side. I shouldn't have let you fight alone."
"Stop talking about me, Cato Sicarius." Titus added: "Those orcs are indeed more capable than those skeletons."
In the Battle of the Farm, it was precisely because Titus and Cato Sicarius were held back by tribal warriors that Celestine's first assault failed.
It’s night elf Everene who looks at it.
After walking out of the doorway, she sat on the left side of Celestine, stretched out her right hand and put it on the latter's right shoulder, and asked: "Celestine, tell me, after you broke through the tribal lines, you encountered Are you the leader of the tribe?"
"Um."
Celestine nodded.
Obviously, the problem must lie with this commander.
Ephrene then asked, "Who is he?"
Celestine raised her head and said to Efrenie: "He is Michaela."
"Michaela, it's him!"
Hearing this name, not only Efrenie, but also Belisarius Caul, Greyfax and Cato Sicarius all screamed in surprise.
But Titus and Diego, the two newcomers who had just joined the team, looked at the other teammates with doubtful eyes.
"It's normal that you don't know, because you haven't joined us at that time."
Then, Greyfax told Titus and Diego everything that happened at the Redridge Stonefortress.
Belisarius Caul also concluded: "Without the plan proposed by Michaela, we might have died there."
Cato Sicarius followed and said: "I, Cato Sicarius, have seen with my own eyes that Micaela's spell is also very powerful, and she can destroy a large number of Blackstone Orcs with just one blow."
Titus finally understood: "If it is such an opponent, it is normal for Celestine to be defeated."
But Diego's doubts were not dispelled. He said, "But Celestine doesn't look like he was defeated in a battle."
Therefore, Efreni further asked: "Celestine, tell the truth, have you known Michaela for a long time?"
"me……"
cyrus
Ting struggled for a few seconds, but after seeing the concerned eyes of his teammates, he finally decided to speak out and told all about that magical night in the hotel.
"ah!"
"oh!"
"I, Cato Sicarius, um..."
"ah!"
"Wow!"
"well……"
Everene understood: "Celestine, do you have a crush on Michaela, so you can't fight at all?"
"I, I don't know."
Celestine buried his head in his knees again: "After I was defeated by Hogg, it was Michaela who helped me get out of the trough, but I didn't know the truth at the time, and I even thought that I was chosen by the Holy Light. However, until Today, when I met Michaela again, I knew everything."
Next, Celestine's voice was a little frustrated: "Michaela told me the truth and made me understand that I was not chosen by the Holy Light. I am just an ordinary person. Everything is my fantasy. Everything is Fake."
Colleagues around you looked at me and I looked at you. In the end, Cato Sicarius stretched out his left hand and put it on Celestine's shoulder.
"Celestine, maybe the result of you being selected by the Holy Light is an illusion, but your power and the Holy Light in your body will not lie. Don't forget, in that battle at Stone Castle Fortress, if you hadn't killed the orc warlord, Ukantos, I’m afraid we all died there.”
Then, Diego also said: "Celestine, although I don't know your past story, as your senior and a Paladin, I can feel the holy light in your body, so don't underestimate yourself. "
"Don't see yourself clearly."
Suddenly, Cyrus
Ting remembered what Michaela had said to him. Michaela said that he was also a civilian, and told Celestine that his background did not represent everything, and that this was one of the motivations for Celestine's struggle.
"I……"
Celestine finally cheered up, but at this moment, a violent explosion came from the south.
"boom!"
"what happened?"
"That's the direction of the lumber camp."
In the blacksmith stronghold, senior commander Halford Wymbane and Marshal Auslet looked through the window at the top of the mountain in the south, and just as a mushroom cloud rose from the ground.
"The tribe has attacked the lumber camp."
Marshal Auslet turned to look at Halford Wymbane, hoping that the latter would take action. However, the commander of the Stormwind City reinforcements held his chin with his right hand and seemed to have no intention of deploying his troops.
Marshal Auslet became a little anxious and said hurriedly: "Our lumber camp stronghold was attacked by the tribe. Shouldn't we send reinforcements?"
The pupils of Halford Wymbane's eyes moved sideways and he stared at Marshal Auslet. This was definitely not the look he was looking at his allies.
Marshal Auslet's right eyelid twitched but said nothing.
Halford Wymbane spoke up: "The lumberyard is located at a high position and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I believe the tribe also knows this, so it is probably just a feint attack launched by the tribe. The opponent's focus must be on the blacksmith shop. We cannot act rashly. .”
At the same time, at the lumber camp stronghold, Mikaela's "Hand of Gul'dan" shot directly opened the fence of the stronghold, and the tribal troops swarmed in and fought with the Alliance soldiers in the stronghold.
However, when Michaela stood on the top of the mountain and looked down,
When looking at the blacksmith stronghold in the north, it was discovered that the alliance army of the blacksmith had no intention of organizing reinforcements. At the same time, Marlenia also came to report:
"Brother, our attack went very smoothly. The alliance troops retreated after only a slight resistance."
"Um?"
Michaela didn't believe her ears. How could the alliance forces give up important strongholds so easily?
But facts speak louder than words. Inside the lumberyard stronghold, the Lion King flag representing Stormwind City has been torn down by the orc soldiers and replaced with the Shield and Ax battle flag representing the tribe.
"We have won, the lumberyard stronghold belongs to the tribe!"
"good!"
"Ah, the warlord is here!"
The victorious tribe soldiers cheered loudly until they saw Warlord Michaela walking into the stronghold, and there was silence for an instant.
Marlenia felt strange, but she couldn't explain why.
As for Torina in the spiritual world, she said: "Mikayla, you are very powerful. With just a few strokes, those orcs will be obedient to you."
Are orcs so easy to deal with?
Michaela herself also had some doubts. Is it really true?
Has his strength been recognized by the orcs?
Obviously, Michaela didn't know that at this time, his status in the hearts of the orc soldiers had directly reached the sky...
Forget it, let’s think about the next step first.
Entering the room in the lumber camp stronghold, Mikaela ordered her men to take out the map of Arathi Basin and began to think about it.
It was too smooth to capture the lumber camp by myself. The Arathor coalition in the alliance army may not be strong, but the Stormwind City reinforcements are very capable. Why did they give up the lumber camp so easily?
Is it a trap?
Or……
That night, the blacksmith shop stronghold
Inside, Marshal Auslet had already quarreled with senior commander Halford Wymbane.
"Halver!"
Marshal Auslet, who was standing in the center of the room, shouted: "I have received reports that your people gave up the lumberyard with only a slight resistance?"
Halford Wymbane, who was sitting on a chair and holding a goblet, said in a relaxed and comfortable manner: "The tribe's offensive is fierce. Why waste the lives of your subordinates if you can't defend it?"
After saying that, Halford Wymbane took a sip of wine.
Marshal Auslet's face twitched a few times and shouted: "Didn't you say this morning that the tribe was attacking Xiang and the target was our blacksmith shop?"
"I made a mistake."
Halford Wymbane took another sip of wine.
Damn it.
Marshal Auslet saw that the other party looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, and there was really nothing he could do. Auslet himself is the marshal of the Kingdom of Stromgard, but Halfor Wymbane belongs to the Kingdom of Stormwind. As a result, although Oslet's military rank is nominally higher than that of Halfr Wyrmbane, The former cannot restrict the latter.
Moreover, the main force of this battle was the reinforcements from Stormwind City, so Marshal Oslet had to rely on Halford Wyrmbane. No wonder the latter was so confident, and Marshal Oslet could only yell a few words to get by. .
"So, what should we do now?"
After seeing the situation clearly, Marshal Auslet forced himself to calm down and asked Halford Wymbane: "Now that the tribe has occupied another stronghold, if this continues, we may..."
Before the marshal could finish speaking, there was another loud explosion.
"Boom."
Marshal Auslet judged the position and immediately
Said: "This time it's the north, it's the mine!"
Halford Wymbane said "Hmm" softly and started drinking again, as if the wine in the glass was more important than this war.
Seeing that the other party seemed to have nothing to do with him, Marshal Auslet's anger rushed to his head again. He really wanted to draw his sword and chop down the bastard in front of him.
The good situation before was ruined like this. No one would be willing to change it.
Just fifteen minutes later, the communications soldier rushed into the office and said to the two commanders: "Reporting to my lord, the mine is lost."
Upon hearing the news, Marshal Auslet was stunned: "The mine was lost in such a short time?"
The marshal turned to look at Halford Wymbane and became furious: "Even if your men are all pigs, and the tribe catches them one by one, they can't be so fast!"
Obviously, Marshal Auslet was close to telling the Stormwind City reinforcements to give up resistance and run away.
However, Halford Wyrmbane not only did not show any sign of the loss of the mine stronghold, but instead ordered his subordinates: "Get ready to pack up, we are retreating to Trollbane Hall."
As soon as this order came out, Marshal Auslet was immediately stunned: "What do you mean, kid? You're running away before the tribe even comes to fight?"
Halford-Wymbane's reply was brilliant: "Now that the lumberyard and mines are occupied by the tribe, their next step is to attack the blacksmith shop from the north and the south. If they don't want to be attacked from both sides, of course they have to retreat early, or..."
Halford Wymbane deliberately dragged his voice: "Marshal Auslet wants to defend the blacksmith shop and die for your country?"
Of course Marshal Auslet doesn’t want to die, that guy King Garin
Not worth it either
He had to sacrifice himself, and at this point, he had a taste of it. The attitude of the Stormwind City reinforcements towards the war had changed.
Could it be that……
Marshal Auslet put away his anger, lowered his body, lowered his head and asked Halford Wyrmbane, "Has the envoy from Stormwind City come to Stromgarde?"
Halford Wymbane smiled and said nothing.
