Chapter 19: Emergency moment
Chapter 19 Critical moment
Earlier, Cirvanas led the troops quietly through the mountains and forests, and arrived at a small hill between the Temple of the Sun and the Farstrider camp before dawn.
From this position, you can clearly see the main force of the troll that just launched an attack.
"Send rangers to guard the surrounding area. If there are troll scouts, get rid of them immediately, so as not to leak our movements."
Although he hoped to prove himself through a big victory, Cirvanas was not completely dazzled, and had been cautiously dispatching scout rangers to investigate along the way.
It's a pity that the new rangers are still inexperienced. Zujin, who is experienced and familiar with the terrain, has already given orders to Nalorak and Harraz to ambush several motionless scouts near this hill.
When the rangers of the high elves were probing, these scouts quietly observed them as if they were integrated with the surroundings. After the rangers passed through, they quickly left here and reported the situation to their respective teams.
Cirvanas, who knew nothing about all this, was still observing the situation on the battlefield.
The battle on the frontal battlefield is much more intense than that in the Farstrider camp. Not only are the trolls in a well-organized lineup charged by tall warriors, but a poisonous javelin that flies out of the formation from time to time can also cause a lot of damage to the rangers. s damage.
The witch doctors and sorcerers muttering and casting spells at the back also caused a lot of trouble for the high elves.
Healing chains can restore injured trolls, and all kinds of magic attacks with miserable green light were also thrown to the high elves' positions by the sorcerers.
Fortunately, this is not the first time Li Reza has fought with trolls. The high elves hiding behind the fortifications are rarely hit by javelins. Even if there are such unlucky ones, they are quickly pulled down by their companions. For detoxification and healing.
The magic attacks are dealt with by the arcanists. They have been trained in magic warfare all the year round and are familiar with this situation. Under Lianda's command, they attack in an orderly manner.
The battle situation is still within Li Reza's expectations at this stage. The trolls alone are not enough to break through the high elves' positions. Now when their offensive fails, Li Reza can lead the team to counterattack .
Although Nalorak was furious with the development of the situation, it was difficult for him to find a breakthrough under Li Reza's well-organized dispatch.
At this time, Nalorak was even ready to be punished by Zujin when he went back. When he was about to order the retreat, a scout also approached his ear and whispered something.
"Haha, good, good, some brat who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth wants to send us sacrifice materials!"
After hearing the scout's report, Nalorak laughed excitedly, and then he immediately gathered his troops and began to retreat in an orderly manner.
When the opponent retreated, they protected the rear formation very well. Li Reza did not find a good opportunity to pursue, so he could only frown and watch the troll retreat quickly.
Originally, she also expected that the troll would start to retreat at about this time, but the direction of the opponent's retreat was obviously not Zul'Aman, but an empty hill not far away.
"Could it be!"
Thinking of something, Li Reza didn't care about being ambushed, and immediately ordered his scout rangers to collect information, and he quickly led most of the troops to rush to the rescue.
The second daughter, Sylvanas, has always hoped to catch up with her eldest sister, Alleria. As a mother, she naturally knows it. Send them together to assist her.
However, she still failed to guess that Cirvanas would defy all opinions and forcibly pass the surprise attack plan. At this time, she could only try her best to make some remedies.
Yawen, who was quietly observing the situation below on the hill, had a bad guess in his mind when he saw the trolls retreating suddenly.
"Second Miss, the situation is a bit wrong. Those trolls seem to have discovered our whereabouts and are rushing towards us at this time."
"What?!"
Cirvanas and Sean exclaimed at the same time.
"Impossible! I sent rangers to investigate along the way, how could I be discovered?"
Yawen shook his head solemnly, "I don't know, and it's not the time to talk about this, let's retreat quickly, the troll's troops on both sides should have got the news, if they don't withdraw, I'm afraid they will be besieged here On the hillside."
Sean looked at Cirvanas nervously, hoping that she would give the order to withdraw the troops.
He came to the front line more for gilding, not for desperate efforts. Although beauties are important, his own life is even more important. He has no intention of dying here in vain.
‘I knew I should have stayed in the camp with those mud legs...’
Liadrin also observed the movement of the troll at this time, and it was indeed heading straight for the hillside.
"Hill, let's withdraw. It's hard to get out after being double-teamed."
Sirvanas gritted her teeth unwillingly, how could she not see the current situation after receiving strict training from Li Reza.
"...Retreat, return to the Farstrider camp before the encirclement takes shape."
After giving the order to retreat, Cirvanas seemed to be weakened.
Issuing this order is tantamount to admitting that his plan has completely failed. Not only will he not be able to cause major damage to the troll this time, but it may even disrupt his mother's original plan, adding some variables to this war that was already doomed to victory.
But it was obviously too late to retreat now, and Halraz had already led about 100 trolls to block their back road.
At this time, the fatal flaw of the elves lacking front-line occupations is fully exposed. If there are fighters with strong assault power on the scene at this time, then with the long-range strikes of rangers and mages, Sylvanas, an overwhelmingly superior force, can It was very easy to break through Halraz's line of defense.
However, the current situation is very embarrassing. All the trolls under Halraz put up their shields, like a tortoise with its limbs retracted, blocking the ranger's retreat.
This method of only defending but not attacking cannot cause damage to the elves, but their purpose of delaying time has been achieved, and Nalorak's vanguard is getting closer.
"It's not good! We can't break through the enemy's line of defense, Second Miss, we can only go back to the mountain first and use the terrain advantage to defend for the time being, and then we can only look at other rescues."
Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, the experienced Yawen could only propose a solution that was not a solution.
Cirvanas looked palely at the still neatly formed shield formation below and let out a miserable laugh.
"Is this the disaster that an incompetent general brought to his subordinates... I, who was blinded by my merits, have implicated you!"
