When the scout reported to Heni Mareb that there was a big movement among the trolls in Shadralo, the young second lieutenant Mareb almost dropped the cup on the ground. The worst situation occurs when the Terminator Fortress is most empty. And when follow-up intelligence determined that Shadralo's trolls were not heading towards the Terminator Fortress, but were pursuing them in the direction in which the main force of the coalition left, Henni Mareb's scalp felt numb and cold sweat ran down his back.
Something had to be done, and clinging to the Terminator Fortress was the stupidest thing to do.
Although the Terminator Fortress has enough food and grass for the army for ten days.
Although the Terminator Fortress is the key to the coalition's retreat.
Although as long as the Terminator Fortress is not lost, the coalition forces will still have a point of support.
But so what, if they were stabbed in the back by a sudden enemy in the middle of a fierce battle, the coalition would be doomed.
There are no people left, so what's the use of the fortress being intact? The food and fodder are kept for the trolls to eat?
Only the sick and wounded were left at home. At Herney's request, even Carlos's long-time follower Todd also put on leather armor and took weapons to set off with the team.
After gathering 800 troops from here and there, Heni Mareb marched quickly and finally arrived in front of the troll army led by Oka.
Falling rocks, cold arrows, contaminating water sources, harassing at night, ambushing patrol sentries, harassing rear troops, and setting fire to mountains. For fifty-two hours, Herni Mareb slept without sleep and tried his best to slow down Oka's march.
In the end, he left his exhausted men in place, with only less than twenty human soldiers and fifty dwarves guarding the treasure trove.
Seeing that nothing could be done, Oka led the army to escape into the mountains. Carlos, who received the message, came to visit these heroes behind the scenes. The exhausted soldiers found a stone and fell asleep on the ground. Hector, who persisted in vigilance, Nimareb's entire cheek was sunken, and the smoke rings were so black that they could compete with a pandaren.
"Sir, congratulations to you, this is a great victory." After saying that, Heni Mareb fainted and fell to the ground.
It took two full days for the coalition forces to complete the area sweep and organizational return.
"General, although you were an hour late, you still came after all. Moreover, we won. So I decided that I don't hate you anymore." Carlos said.
"I hate myself for this matter. Even if the final result is good, the glory this time has nothing to do with me." General Odlon blamed himself very much and did not appear on the agreed battlefield at the appointed time. , he felt that he had tarnished his honor as a soldier.
Carlos put his arm around Odron's shoulders and said, "Hey, don't be like this, just win. Where can you gather more than 1,500 troops in a short period of time? You are very good at bringing everyone together." I was the one who brought you into that dangerous situation, so don’t look so grim."
"If those lost dwarves hadn't happened to be near you, we would have lost. In my dreams for the past two days, I have dreamed that the boys were being chased and killed by trolls. The blood of coalition soldiers gushes down from the Hinterlands, and the Balrogs The whole of Hilbrad." Odrun's emotions were a little out of control, and his voice was crying.
"Do you know why you can't be the king? Although I didn't like you before, from now on, we are friends, you old guy with a conscience." Carlos let go of the hand holding Odrun's shoulder , took two steps back and said, "I won't watch an old man shed tears, but please calm down as soon as possible. After all, you are the commander-in-chief of this army."
"I will." The general found a lying tree trunk and sat down.
After gathering the troops and tallying the results, the coalition soldiers found 846 killed, 2,323 injured, 117 missing, and 1,720 Evil Branch Trolls annihilated. Six people killed 413 captives, basically wiping out the threat from the Evil Branch Troll of Sinsaro.
Five hundred soldiers were left behind to continue searching for missing persons, and the army retreated to the Terminator Fortress. After a short rest, this journey of revenge was about to come to an end.
On September 26, in the third year of the Dark Portal, a coalition of forces from the human kingdom of Lundaeron and the Wildhammer dwarves of the Hinterlands broke into the troll city of Shadralo, wiping out more than 600 defenders and residents.
"That bastard Okar ran away!" Carlos roared angrily. The deadwood troll Okar took his people into the mountains. Shadra Loli only had some old and weak followers and Shadra's brainless fans.
"Tan Ji, is the troll's tomb intact?" Carlos calmed down a little and asked Lucia.
"Absolutely." Tan Ji replied.
"Oh, then just run away." Carlos's face changed instantly, looking very happy, "The copy of Shadraluo Underground Tomb is ready to open up wasteland."
"Master, what are you talking about?" Tanji didn't understand what Carlos said.
"It does not matter."
"oh"
Just when Carlos was about to reap the fruits of victory, thousands of miles away in Stormwind City, the mage Khadgar secretly sneaked into the bedroom of Grand Duke Anduin Lothar.
"Master Khadgar, do you have any special preference for middle-aged men?" Anduin Lothar, who was only wearing pajamas, teased Khadgar.
"Sir Lothar, forgive me for being presumptuous and abrupt, but this matter is very important and I dare not leak any information. In the entire Stormwind City, you are the only one worthy of my trust." Khadgar said seriously.
"Well, when you left Medivh's tower, you didn't come here for a visit. Did you see something important in the Hall of Illusions?" Sir Lothar poured himself a glass of water.
"What's worse, a demon, a demon named Sargeras, has taken over the body of my teacher. Medivh is no longer a Watcher, Medivh is no longer Medivh. That demon, it, is plotting to destroy the entire world. ." Khadgar said breathtaking words.
"Tell me, this is a joke." Sir Lothar's hand holding the cup froze.
"I'm sorry, I can't laugh. The teacher's soul is gradually lost in the confrontation with the devil. Soon, things will slip into the worst situation. We don't have much time." Khadgar looked directly at Anduin. Lothar's eyes spoke of pain.
"I have a room at No. 26 Donald Street, where you can rest temporarily." Sir Lothar needed time to digest the news. Although he had always felt that something was wrong with Medivh in recent years, the news that his childhood friend was actually possessed by a demon made him heartbroken.
"Sir, please make a decision early, teacher, he won't be able to hold on for long." After Khadgar finished speaking, he used the transformation spell and left from the window.
"Medivh, my friend, how should I face you?" Anduin Lothar felt panic in his heart.
ps: Anduin Lothar, Llane Wrynn, and Medivh are childhood friends who grew up together. Anduin Lothar is the only direct descendant of Emperor Thoradin of the Kingdom of Arathor. Lion Wrynn's throne was obtained with the support of Anduin Lothar by defeating other people who were qualified to inherit the throne. In other words, Anduin Lothar gave up the throne to his brother.
