It has been three months since the human kingdom's expeditionary force arrived in the Hinterlands, and the fragile balance between dwarves and trolls has long been gone. Today, fourteen strong fortresses echo each other, like a reptile with seven pairs of legs lying in the primeval forest of the Hinterlands. Humanity's sphere of influence has extended to less than a hundred miles from Shadralo, the core city of the troll Deadwood Clan in the Hinterlands.
Being stationed in the jungle is far less comfortable than modern humans imagine. Mosquitoes, heat and humidity, and water sources are all big problems for the coalition forces. Fortunately, the dwarves had rich experience and sufficient coping methods, so the human coalition did not suffer large-scale non-combat attrition. There are only 12 military chaplains among the thousands of people in the entire coalition army. The phenomenon of "letting the leader go first" is universal, so the dwarves' folk remedies are well received by the soldiers. The human soldiers found that these dwarf boys, who are older than their grandfathers, are sincere. Yes, the relationship between the Wildhammer dwarves and the Kingdom of Alterac has reached an all-time high.
Coalition scouts have already fought sporadic trolls. Although trolls are better at fighting than humans in terms of racial talents, the well-trained human soldiers are far stronger than troll civilians. A group of ten reconnaissance teams casually dropped the lone troll hunters on the trees and beat them.
"Uncle Biglas, you are right. The last word is the number of people. Troops are guarded everywhere along the way. The number of available troops now, including the dwarf brothers, is just over 3,000. Is it time to mobilize the cavalry?" Carlos asked.
It has been a long time since I had a haircut. Carlos Barov, Biglas Bertone, and Danas Bertone sat side by side on a small wooden pier. Todd led the other two servants and took out a full set of hairdressing equipment for the three. An aristocratic gentleman groomed himself.
"It's still a bit early. We still have at least thirty miles to escape from the sea of trees. We will continue to advance and at least build another large camp. Only then can the cavalry and artillery come into play. And I have not fought against the trolls in Arathi Highlands once or twice. Yes, the trolls in the Hinterlands are slightly larger than their fellow Arathi. This is my feeling. After more than three months of waiting, the war is finally about to begin." Biglas cannot decide the military strategy of the coalition. , but after three months of getting along day and night, it was known to all the nobles that the Bertone father and son had a fierce fight with Karloff of the Barov family. Although he is older than Carlos, the future hero Danaus Bertone has been led astray by Carlos, and he has no scruples about being a "big brother".
"I heard that Duya said there are wildcats nearby. Should we go get one and try it out this afternoon? Brother Carlos." Danas was trimming his hair, shirtless. Seeing that his father and Carlos had almost finished their discussion, he saw the opportunity to intervene. .
"Dandemar!" Carlos shouted. The night elf, who was competing with the dwarves in a firewood chopping competition, saw that there was no hope of victory. He decisively threw his ax and went to attend to his errands, ignoring the protests of the dwarf brothers.
"Is the wildcat delicious?" Carlos asked.
"It's not bad. Dagugu's eggs are dried and roasted with several kinds of herbs and the white sand at the bottom of the river. They are quite delicious." Dandema gave a professional opinion. (Get the herbal baked egg recipe!
"Didn't you say that the moonkin is the pet of the moon god Elune? You have really eaten it!" Carlos was a little shocked. He just saw that Dandema was too bored and wanted to give it a try, but in the end he heard an incredible speech.
"Oh, the pet of Moon Goddess Elune refers to the owl beast in Moonlight Grove. We elves in other places generally call it Gugu, Big Gugu. You can eat it with the head removed and the whole body. It provides about the same calories as beef." (It’s not five times. I’m so sorry to the audience, Dandema replied seriously.
"Herni!" Carlos has become more and more skilled in ordering people since he had his subordinates.
Heni Mareb heard his master's call, put down his work and walked out of the command tent. Gold always shines. Herni Mareb is indeed talented in troop formation and tactical command. General Odrun agreed with Carlos after seeing the camp defense arranged by Herni Mareb. , promoted Herni Mareb to lieutenant in the field. Now Heni Mareb is already in charge of a squadron of coalition soldiers. (Strengthening the squadron, with 7 squadrons under its jurisdiction
"Sir, what are your orders?" Herney saluted the three noble soldiers.
"You arrange for two teams of brothers to learn the hunting skills of Big Gugu from Master Dandema. After marching for a long time, the soldiers lost a lot of weight. The battle is about to begin, and the logistics work cannot be relaxed." Carlos said nonsense seriously. .
Although he didn't understand what Big Gugu was, Herni Mareb still accepted the job. Anyway, with Dandema leading the team, you don't have to take responsibility if you mess up.
"Brother, what you said makes sense!" Little Angel Danas had a learned expression on his face.
(How do you educate your son? Carlos looked at Bignas from the corners of his eyes.
(Is it also my fault for being honest and simple? Biglas’s eyes twitched.
(This is the only city in the aristocratic circle that hasn’t been sold out. Carlos is so funny.
(Everyone looks like you are a little monster! Biglas spat disdainfully.
Poor young Danas didn't understand that two middle-aged uncles (one physically, one mentally) had silently started an argument around him.
The hot water was boiled, and the three guys who had finished their haircuts took a shower. Brother Bald saw that Carlos was almost busy, so he came over to report.
"Master, Tanji discovered that a group of trolls are searching in our direction. They are expected to arrive at the southwest sentry position in the evening. There will be about thirty trolls in number."
"That little agent girl of yours has such a strong investigative ability." Biglas whistled.
"It's almost time. It's time for the troll to come to his senses. Todd, you will collect our hair and burn it later. I heard that the troll's voodoo spell is very powerful. I don't want to be cursed." ." Carlos did not pick up the blame from Biglas and continued to make arrangements. "Herni, inform your men to have dinner in advance in two hours, and then send someone to report a message to the general, saying that the hunting has begun, and I want 50 knights of the Knights to participate in the operation."
"Todd, go and tell Archbishop Leonfa that I need two priests to accompany the army." Carlos thought for a while, and it was more reliable to bring two healing professions.
"Do I need to notify Master Brick?" Todd asked.
"No, it is also very important to block the Troll Wizard's detection spells on the camp. Don't disturb the master." Carlos gave the answer.
"Okay, Master, I'll do it right away." Todd turned and left.
"Uncle, let's compare and see which one is better, your Tokaral or my Bonigato." Carlos said confidently.
[Bonigoto. The Sword of the Tempered One]: A two-handed sword forged by the dwarf master forger Seedorf. Tempered iron felt. It is made of magical mithril. Attack power is 42~61, sharpness +5, armor breaking +3. Strong +3, Fire Resistance +2. Special effect: Form solidification. Bonigoto means rebirth from the ashes in Dwarven language. This two-handed sword can repair its damaged blade with the power of fire. However, the forging master Seedorf Tempered Iron Felt suffered a slight concussion in a duel with the current Lord of Eagle's Nest Mountain. This two-handed sword to the dwarves was just a large one-handed sword in the eyes of humans.
(How could the protagonist’s first two-handed sword not be al? Once the Sword of Brotherhood comes out, there will be no brothers anymore, bracket laugh
