Warcraft Eternal Tree - Chapter 595
c595 City Thirteen
The city where Cairne Bloodhoof and Grom were originally located had a name when it belonged to humans, but after being occupied by orcs, most of the cities in the Canaan occupied area lost their original names and were directly named by orcs who wanted to facilitate management and statistics.
The city that has been gradually surrounded by blood elves is numbered 13. If Cairne Bloodhoof and Grom were also travelers from Earth, they would know that 13 does not seem to be a good number.
Thinking that they have an advantage in both quantity and quality, and even in the number of strong men, the blood elves did not even do much to cover up when they surrounded the 13th city, especially after the large loose encirclement was formed, the blood elves directly exposed their troops to the eyes of the orc scouts, with an arrogant look.
In the 13th city, Cairne Bloodhoof and Grom had just listened to Cyril’s report on the current situation in the Canaan occupied area, and both of them looked a little heavy. They did not expect that the situation had deteriorated to this extent.
When Cyril rushed to the Royal City of the Sun to look for Cairne Bloodhoof, the blood elves had only captured five cities. As a result, when Cairne Bloodhoof returned with the orc army and Grom, more than a quarter of the Canaan occupied area had been occupied, and nearly 20 cities had been captured by the blood elves.
Although these nearly 20 cities were relatively watery, most of them were small cities rather than important towns, but this was a big blow to the orcs both in terms of momentum and in reality. Since opening up the Everburning Trail in the Endless Jungle and coming to the eastern part of the Warcraft Mountains, the orcs have always been the ones bullying others. How could they be pressed step by step by the blood elves who came out of nowhere?
According to Grom, since they have brought reinforcements, they should immediately integrate the 200,000 orc soldiers they brought with the orc troops originally in the Canaan occupied area, conduct a sweep of the Canaan occupied area, and drive the blood elves back to the Warcraft Mountains.
However, Cairne Bloodhoof disagreed with Grom’s opinion. Having fought against the blood elves in person, he knew how difficult the blood elves were. Their troop composition was very similar to that of humans, but they were ten or a hundred times stronger than humans. Cairne Bloodhoof thought that he should hold his troops in place until he had thoroughly understood the strength of the blood elves before taking action.
However, whether it was Grom’s immediate attack or Cairne Bloodhoof’s holding his troops in place, they subconsciously ignored what to do if the blood elves took the initiative to attack. This was not because the two orcs neglected it, but because they felt that since they had brought 200,000 reinforcements, the blood elves should be on guard. They would definitely not attack the cities that already belonged to the orcs in the Canaan occupied area without restraint as before.
However, the blood elves did the opposite of Yu Fei’s order. While Cairne Bloodhoof and Grom were still discussing strategies, they had completely surrounded City No. 13.
“Bang!” The door was rushed open by a hurried figure, and Cairne Bloodhoof and Grom in the house looked at the figure rushing in with some displeasure. These were two orc high-ranking officials discussing something, how could someone dare to break in so casually?
However, when they saw clearly that the person who rushed in was Cyril, who had just reported the situation and left not long ago, they put down their unhappy emotions. When they saw Cyril’s ugly face, Cairne Bloodhoof and Grom were both shocked.
“What happened?” Cairne Bloodhoof’s low voice sounded, and he asked Cyril, who had returned, in confusion.
Cyril did not hesitate and quickly reported the situation that the scouts had just discovered: “Lord Cairne, City No. 13 has been surrounded by blood elves!”
Hearing this, Cairne Bloodhoof and Grom were both shocked. They were still discussing how to drive the blood elves out of the Canaan occupied area, but they did not expect the blood elves to attack them and catch them off guard.
Waving his hand to signal Grom to follow him, Cairne Bloodhoof strode out of the hall and walked towards the wall of City No. 13. After personally going to the city wall to see the situation, Kane Bloodhoof realized the seriousness of the situation.
Although it was just a glance, Kane Bloodhoof was able to judge that the number of blood elves outside the No. 13 city that had surrounded the city was no less than the number of orc soldiers in the city.
More importantly, Kane Bloodhoof knew clearly that the strength of the blood elf troops was much stronger than the 200,000 orc recruits he brought back.
“How could this happen?” Grom, who followed Kane Bloodhoof to the city wall, made a surprised sound. He couldn’t believe that he had just arrived in the Canaan occupied area and was surrounded by blood elves.
Suddenly, Grom felt a familiar feeling about the situation in front of him. Wasn’t the situation in the human city of Xirik the same as the current situation in No. 13? But at that time, he was a strong attacker, but now he has become the defender of the city. It’s really a matter of time.
However, Grom, who has not yet seen the strength of the blood elves, still has the confidence to defeat the blood elves. According to Cairne Bloodhoof’s description and Cyril’s report, the blood elf army is mainly composed of cavalry and mages.
Cavalry has no effect in siege warfare. Not every type of cavalry can cause huge damage to the city wall or even directly destroy the city wall like wolf cavalry. As for magicians, Grom has lost count of how many human magicians have fallen in his hands. Even if the number and strength of blood elf magicians are higher than that of humans, Grom is confident that he can turn the blood elf magician camp upside down.
Because the blood elves did not deliberately hide, the orc scouts discovered the blood elf army quite early. Even before receiving the order from Cain Bloodhoof, the original orc defenders of City No. 13 had already climbed up the city wall to launch a defense.
Taking off the totem pole on his back and stroking the battlements of the city wall of City No. 13 with both hands, Cain Bloodhoof sighed in his heart. Unexpectedly, the orcs would also rely on human buildings for defense one day.
In fact, according to Cain Bloodhoof’s previous temperament, what he would do now is to lead all the orc soldiers in the city to rush out of City No. 13 and have an exciting battle with the blood elves. However, most of the people in City No. 13 are new orc recruits. To be on the safe side, Cairne Bloodhoof hesitated and made a decision to use static tactics.
As for Grom, in the orc high-level meeting, Vol’jin Witch Doctor had asked him to accept Cairne Bloodhoof’s arrangements after arriving in the Canaan occupied area, and he could not easily raise objections. The Canaan occupied area was originally Cairne Bloodhoof’s territory. Grom actually knew that he only knew how to fight and was stupid, so he obeyed Cairne Bloodhoof’s arrangements.
Outside the city, the three heroes of the blood elf clan, the blood mage, the omniknight and the chaos knight, had gathered together. Three hundred thousand blood elf troops gathered together, and naturally they needed a leader. There is no doubt that the blood mage, as a representative of wisdom, became the leader of the blood elf troops.
Compared with the heroes of the night elves, the blood mage is actually more intelligent. Because the blood elf magician who was transformed into a blood mage was transformed from the original blood elves in the demon world. He was not “made” from the arms building, and at this time he was thinking about how to capture the orc city No. 13 in front of him.
When Tyrande was not at a high level, Yu Fei chose to delegate power and train Tyrande. Now that the blood mage is already quite intelligent, Yu Fei will not interfere too much with his decision, but let the blood mage arrange the war himself. He wants to see if the blood elves can become a force on their own, rather than a supplement and vassal of the night elves.
Perhaps the blood mage also knows what Yu Fei means. After coming from the destroyed demon world – or to be exact, returning to the world of Eslaze, the blood elves soon learned that it was not only the blood elves that were favored by the Father God, but also the night elves in Eslaze who were more favored by the Father God than them.
Even with the support of the Father God, the night elves also established an empire on the continent of Eslaze, which made the blood elves extremely envious. The blood elves with high intelligence also have the emotion of competing for favor, but fortunately this emotion is benign, and what they want to do is to better complete the tasks assigned by the Father God.
Originally, the blood mage thought that the orcs would rush out and fight them to the death. When they attacked those cities before, even if they were at a great disadvantage in numbers, the orcs would rush out of the city to fight the blood elves. This is because the orcs are not familiar with city defense battles and are more adept at field battles.
Unexpectedly, when there are more than 200,000 orc troops in City No. 13, they did not go out of the city to fight the blood elves. This made the blood mage hesitate. Should they attack the city? Or should they just wait for the orcs to make a new reaction?
It’s not the blood mage’s fault for hesitating. Compared with the night elves who have glaive throwers, mobile turrets, mountain giants, and even ancient guardians, the blood elves are not very good at attacking cities. The orcs are now out of character, which makes the blood mage wonder if there is a conspiracy.
However, this hesitation only existed in the blood mage’s mind for a while. The blood elves’ encirclement was very sudden, and the blood mage did not believe that the orcs could discover and lay out the conspiracy long in advance. Anyway, this city No. 13 is definitely going to be captured. The blood mage still doesn’t believe it. What kind of waves can 200,000 orc recruits cause?
If there is no siege equipment, just use magic to flatten the city wall. There are not many other things in the blood elves, but there are magicians!
Today’s three updates are 9,000 words =_= Speaking of which, I don’t know why Hongchen is still not energetic. If I hadn’t been kept awake by drinking coffee, I would have fallen asleep long ago.
