The whimpering horn echoed in the wind, making a thick, deep sound.

The rumbling war drums shook the sky full of wind and sand.

The footsteps of the soldiers followed the marching music in a wonderful rhythm, like the beating pulse of the earth, neat and powerful, marching into the distance step by step.

The so-called most heroic soldiers are those who know that the front is an abyss and purgatory, but they can also sing military songs, hold hands, and move forward without flinching - this sentence suddenly popped up in Shen Yi's mind. He couldn't remember who said it. Yes, but looking at the situation of this army at this moment, he felt that maybe this was the best portrayal of the army in front of him.

Perhaps because it was not accustomed to its new owner, the giant shadow wolf under Shen Yi's crotch was a little dishonest and twisted its body from time to time. Shen Yi gently stroked its back to signal it to be quiet.

The giant wolf is the unique mount of the orc leader, and it is also the most obvious symbol of his status as a leader, but Shen Yi has never used it before. Although the giant wolf is fast, it may not be able to outrun the adventurers when running at full strength. As for the Now, with the war approaching, Shen Yi needs to let his soldiers see him at any time to stabilize the morale of the army.

At this moment, Shen Yi saw that the troops in front suddenly slowed down, and ten wolf cavalry rushed out from the front troops and disappeared from Shen Yi's sight.

"Why has the marching speed of the troops slowed down?" Shen Yi called a messenger to ask about the situation.

Soon the messenger reported back: "There is a canyon ahead. Lord Badcock ordered the wolf cavalry to go in and conduct reconnaissance first to make sure there is no ambush before passing through."

Badcock is a commander in the orc army. His troops are mainly composed of wolf cavalry and wyverns. They are famous for their strong maneuverability, so they have long served as vanguards.

"Why don't you ask Lord Gironno to use clairvoyance?"

"The canyon area is large, and observing the entire area requires Leader Gilenno to use perspective at least five times, which is a burden on the leader's mana consumption. Considering that the battlefield also requires Lord Gilenno's omnipresent observation, Lord Gilenno needs Save mana for use on more important battlefields."

"So that's it...I know." After thinking for a while, Shen Yi said: "Go tell Captain Wen Wen and ask her to send bat troops to conduct aerial reconnaissance above the canyon. She also has to go there in person. We must do it as soon as possible. Pass through the canyon. Then tell the leader of Gilenno that if we can arrive at the scheduled battlefield before other camps, we can grab the most advantageous strategic terrain and possibly get some rest time. So if conditions permit, I hope he can use it At least one or two X-rays will help us speed up the reconnaissance."

Not that caution in any form is a good thing.

The long-term vigilance in war often involves soldiers, which takes a great toll on soldiers' psychology and physical strength.

A truly outstanding commander will never add burdens to soldiers for no reason, which means that when they are really needed, the soldiers' physical strength will decrease and their concentration will not be enough. In addition, there will be complaints from soldiers, dissatisfaction from officers and other negative aspects. the occurrence of situations.

Finally, the slowdown caused by caution along the way will also cause a lag in the battle for battlefield terrain.

Of course, this does not mean that the leaders are indifferent, but as NPCs, their consideration of issues is limited by their field of vision, and they do not know many things, so they need to be treated with caution.

From Shen Yi's point of view, since the battle was ordered by the city, no one could start it in advance or delay it. There was almost no possibility of an ambush - especially since he had already fought in the three camps of elves, humans and undead. With his own spies, it would be almost impossible to hide a sneak attack from him.

However, Shen Yi did not directly deny the leaders' plan. He just tried his best to speed up the reconnaissance ahead. The war itself is a confrontation process. You don't need to be fast, you just need to be faster than your opponent.

At this time, the benefits of being a leader appear.

Gironno quickly agreed to Shen Yi's request and used two clairvoyances on the canyon area. Under the clairvoyance effect, all hidden existences had nowhere to hide.

The reconnaissance team quickly determined that the canyon was safe and there was no ambush.

The orc troops began to speed through the canyon and placed security troops on both sides.

Shen Yi mobilized the giant wolf to climb the mountain on the right, raised his telescope and looked down ahead. In the distance, he could vaguely see an empty plain, which was the intended battlefield for the four tribes to compete for hegemony - the Hyjal Basin.

This is a relatively open land with an irregular square shape, about four kilometers long from east to west and three kilometers long from north to south, with a total area of ​​12 square kilometers. It is absolutely enough for a battlefield of 40,000 people.

One mile away to the west is the foot of Mount Hyjal.

There is a slope at the foot of Mount Hyjal. The slope is not very large, only about 30 degrees. However, compared to the plain terrain in other directions, whoever can stand on this hillside will have some condescending terrain advantages.

Although the advantage is not obvious due to the small slope, for a good commander, this advantage is enough for them to strive for.

What's especially important is that behind the hillside is Mount Hyjal. A winding mountain road extends from the foot of the mountain to the top, which is the only way to reach Hyjal Castle.

Occupying this place is equivalent to cutting off the only way to Hyjal and blocking the throat of other camps from advancing.

So this seemingly inconspicuous slope became a battleground for military strategists at this moment.

The hillside in the telescope was still quiet and motionless at this moment.

After seeing it, Shen Yi was half relieved and turned his attention to other directions.

At this moment, some fast-moving black spots suddenly appeared in the telescope.

Shen Yi hurriedly enlarged the telescope, and several blurry black spots in the mirror gradually became clearer. Shen Yi saw that it was a small human army coming from the west, and its purpose was pointed directly at the slope.

Shen Yi's body trembled and he shouted down: "Lalke, go tell the four leaders that the human vanguard has arrived first and is seizing the slope!"

Then he pulled the giant wolf and rushed down the mountain: "Wen Wenwen, Hong Lang, Chu Sheng... bring your people with me. As long as the troops are fast, we must catch up quickly!"

As Shen Yi ran wildly, he named many adventurers to follow him to grab the top of the mountain.

Wen Wen was the quickest to react. In a flash, she appeared beside Shen Yi. While running, she asked, "How many people are there?"

"Not many, probably more than a hundred people, but there are at least four to six adventurers. If we let them capture the mountain and build fortifications, it will be difficult for us to capture it again... They brought at least fifty people tribal farmers!”

Human farmers are the fastest in construction among the four camps, and human arrow towers are the best among the four camps. Fifty human farmers started work at the same time, and erected four or five arrow towers in half an hour. It's definitely no problem.

Once the arrow towers take shape, Shen Yi and the others will have to pay a lot of money if they want to capture the slopes. As time goes by, there will only be more and more arrow towers, and the battle will only become more and more difficult.

"Damn it, why didn't King Kong mention this?"

"I'm afraid he doesn't know either. This looks like a proactive attack by several adventurers in the Western District, and he is not the leader after all." Shen Yi replied helplessly.

At this time, Chu Sheng, Honglang and others had also rushed over.

Due to the sudden incident, Shen Yi had no time to seek permission from the leader, and a dozen adventurers quickly rushed towards the battlefield slope. The ground troops could not keep up with their speed. Fortunately, Shen Yi's team still had some air troops, twenty of them. The bat troops and thirty bipedal dragon troops followed the adventurers and rushed forward.

Only Fatty was left behind by Shen Yi, commanding the rest of the troops to speed through the canyon.

This time, Shen Yi's men became the vanguard and rushed all the way. Badcock, the former leader of the vanguard, still didn't understand what was happening and became confused immediately.

Did the leaders change the vanguard? But I didn't receive the order.

In order to rush for time, Shen Yi simply jumped off the giant wolf and ran. Seeing that the new owner was running faster than him, the giant wolf immediately became unconvinced, howling and chasing after him, but only saw the figures of a group of people leaving him. As we got further and further away, I suddenly heard a cry of "oh" and let out a sad cry. I don't know if I was sad for my own speed or sad for losing my job so quickly.

Since the human adventurers were already on the battlefield when Shen Yi discovered it, it was almost impossible to capture the mountain before the human camp. However, it takes time to build the arrow tower. As long as the adventurers' first arrow The tower has not yet been erected, so they still have hope of victory.

Chu Sheng was a little confused about this: "Even if they build one or two arrow towers, we may not be able to defeat them, right?"

Shen Yi smiled bitterly: "Yes, it's not a big deal even if one or two are established, but have you forgotten what the most terrifying tactics of the human race are?"

When Shen Yi said this, an idea immediately appeared in Chu Sheng's mind. He was startled and exclaimed: "Master..."

"Now you understand?"

"Damn it!" Chu Sheng jumped to his feet and yelled: "I hate wars without an escalation process!"

His feet shook the ground, creating a depression in the earth. Others flew out like cannonballs. This time, he was more anxious than Shen Yi.

That's right, the Master's teleportation.

Once the adventurers of the human camp are allowed to erect the arrow tower, the orc camp will not only face the trouble of the arrow tower itself, but more importantly, the **** division's terrifying troop transmission ability.

No wonder the opponent dared to seize the mountain with only more than a hundred people and half of its non-combat troops. It is precisely because the human camp's guerrilla tactics based on the teleportation of ** divisions are almost invincible.

In the game, due to the upgrading process between heroes, the teleportation ability of the assassin usually does not appear until the later stages, and sometimes the war is over before it even appears.

But in this world where heroes are born with all their skills, everyone has to face this kind of invincible teleportation style from the beginning, which is something that no one is used to.

At this moment, Shen Yi and others ran with all their strength and finally arrived at the battlefield. The adventurers from the human camp in front had already occupied the hilltop and were instructing the farmers to build arrow towers. In addition to the city defense facilities in the game such as arrow towers, Non-existent city walls, defensive horses, pointed wooden barriers, trench traps, etc.

However, there are only arrow towers that can create fixed-point defensive buildings for the teleportation of the assassins.

At this moment, the adventurers in the human camp obviously saw Shen Yi and others running from afar. A bearded adventurer shouted loudly: "Work quickly, you useless fools! Give up those city walls, Gather all the farmers and build an arrow tower first!"

"It's too late, Kurt, those guys are very fast! We need time!" an adventurer shouted.

The bearded adventurer named Kurt glanced at Shen Yi and knew that it was impossible to build the arrow tower before Shen Yi and others arrived. He shouted loudly: "Get ready to fight! All soldiers rush out with us. , limit the battle to the outside of the hillside, don’t give them a chance to get close to the farmers, let the witch slow them down, remember, delay time! Delay time! As long as the arrow tower is up, it is victory!”

At the same time, Shen Yi and the others were rushing closer and closer. Seeing that they were about to reach the top of the mountain, Shen Yi shouted: "Concentrate your firepower and kill those farmers. No matter what, you cannot let them build the arrow tower! Before the arrow tower is set up, Killing all the peasants is victory!"

"Up!" Chu Sheng roared and rushed up the slope.

"Up!" The adventurer named Kurt pointed his finger, and the human soldiers followed the adventurer and rushed down the mountain.

The two teams were like two arrows, attacking from two directions, one up and one down, and finally collided violently in the center of the hillside.

Blood is flying!
Chapter completed!
