Chapter 237 Standing ready
Early the next morning, the whole army pulled out their camps, and all the mighty 200,000 troops set off, except for the 20,000 who stayed behind in Tarren Mill, and began to march towards the predetermined position.
Before Charlemagne left, he was persuaded by Losala, "Earl Theron, do you really want to go to the front with the army? Or stay in Tarren Mill with the logistics troops."
The identity of the commander-in-chief of the elves is not simple. If something goes wrong, he really doesn't know how to explain it to Terenas and Kael'thas.
That's right, Commander.
This time the army brought out by Quel'Thalas was discussed by King Kael'thas and the council, and the final command was in the hands of Charlemagne. hand it over.
But even this is enough to surprise people. You must know that the nearly 2,000 elf troops brought out this time are one-third of the total strength of Quel'Thalas. But it makes the nobles itch their teeth with envy.
Some upper-class families with dark hearts even hope that Charlemagne will die outside this time, and it is best to die on the battlefield. This rapidly rising upstart has already had a certain impact on their traditional status. Now Quel'Thalas It's hard to say that the atmosphere has changed without him contributing to the flames.
Charlemagne's concern for Lothar just smiled softly, "Don't worry about me, Commander Lothar, I dare say that among the orcs who can defeat me one-on-one, there are no more than one hand, and they are in the army formation." I'm not so stupid as to rush up and challenge them one-on-one."
The most powerful warrior of the orcs, Lord Roar (Grom Hellscream), has not yet come to Azeroth through the Dark Portal, and his Warsong clan was left in the broken Draenor, presumably now with other clans They fought each other.
The only threats to him in the tribe today are Orgrim, Gul'dan, Brother Saurfang, and Zu'jin. It is still doubtful how powerful the last Zu'jin, who is far away from Zul'Aman's loa altar, can exert.
On the side of the alliance, all the first-generation Silver Five knights have all appeared here. Among the five, Uther has already broken through to the epic, Liadrin is a high-level hero, Tulayang is an intermediate hero, Saidan and Tirion are two It is only one step away from the final breakthrough.
The strength of the head coach Lothar is also very strong, a well-established epic-level powerhouse, although his strength has declined due to old age and frailty in recent years, it is not something that ordinary cats and dogs can win.
Not to mention that he also has the quasi-sacred weapon of the great royal sword Quel'Zalam, and now there are only a handful of people in the alliance who can beat him in a single challenge.
In addition, Darius Crowley, the great lord of Gilneas, Darnas Trollbane of Stormgard, Haas, the famous general of the Kingdom of Alterac, and Gavin Ladd of the Kingdom of Stormwind, also participated in the battle. ·doom.
These generals are also all hero-level combat power, plus Dalaran's 8-ring mage Kel'Thuzad, and a bunch of hero-level bosses brought by Charlemagne, he doesn't believe that he will be so powerful in the army formation. Easily attacked.
After all, he is not considered a bigwig in the alliance. He is just an ordinary scar elf after mixing with Sylvanas' ranger army. At least he won't wear that flamboyant lion eagle like Lothar Double-headed shoulder armor (refer to Wa Wang).
Dressing like that on the battlefield is almost an obvious way to show the enemy "I am a big shot!", Charlemagne asked himself that his strength has not yet reached the point where he can ignore all threats.
Seeing that he could not convince the high elf commander, Lothar could only sigh and give up continuing to persuade.
During the march, Charlemagne and Cirvanas kept observing the surrounding terrain in accordance with the habit of rangers. Hillsbrad is called a hilly area, and naturally there are many gentle slopes with ups and downs, but these small slopes are not Influences the knight to charge.
Leaving Southsea Town and the town circle of Tarren Mill, the surrounding area has obviously become a lot barren. Except for a road leading directly to Thoradin's Wall, the surrounding roadsides are overgrown with weeds. Fortunately, the trees are not too dense, Silva During the observation process, Nas also found many hillsides suitable for ranger shooting.
In the end, under the leadership of Lothar, the coalition camped in a hilly area southwest of Dunholden Castle. In order to prevent the tribe from making a surprise attack through the surrounding forest, the commander-in-chief ordered the army to cut down the surrounding trees and use the wood to build a Fortifications.
Already accustomed to the cement made by Charlemagne, the high elves pouted their dislike for this simple fortification.
However, the cement has just been developed not long ago, and the output is not high, and the territory of the copperbeard dwarves is now completely blocked by the orcs. It is also difficult to obtain follow-up cement. Charlemagne led his troops this time and there is no excess inventory.
After the camp was completed, the generals of various countries sent out their own scout troops and began to carefully check the surroundings, so that the orcs could not easily pass by.
After Charlemagne greeted Lothar, he took Sylvanas, Garinde, and Eleanor out to find a suitable mountain. Lor'themar decided to stay with his girlfriend, and Emerel His secret passage team was sent out by him to carry out special missions.
"Just these two places."
Sirvanas stood on a small hill and looked at the opposite mountain of about the same height, nodded in satisfaction, and Garinde and Eleanor who were opposite also waved their hands to express that it was suitable.
Charlemagne looked down. The height of this hill was about 100 meters from the ground, which was nothing to the ranger.
"The position has been built, and now we are waiting for the human orcs to come to our door."
————————
Just when the alliance predicted the orc's marching route and had set up camp to wait for the orc's arrival, the tribe led by Orgrim was also heading north across the hills and bushes.
This time, in order to ensure the transportation of the ships, Orgrim deliberately left most of the more than 300,000 hard laborers from various tribes in Grim Batol and Dun Morogh to mine for the tribe and make weapons and armor.
Now he only brought 80,000 elite orc warriors and more than 10,000 hard laborers accompanying the army. In order to reunite with Zul'jin's troll army, he must find a way to Hinterlands.
Fortunately, Zujin, the leading party, was there, and Orgrim soon learned about the trail behind Durnholde Castle.
In order to bypass Thoradin's Wall and Dunholde, Orgrim decided to use Zu'jin's suggestion to go around behind the small mountain to the west of Dunholde, which was how Zu'jin came here.
However, before Orgrim carefully led the orcs north to reach the predetermined location, Zul'jin's troll scouts first encountered the rangers sent by Turalyon to investigate the surrounding situation by accident.
