Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 261: Making Moves

Seeing Duke's distressed look, Llane had an epiphany. He patted Duke on the shoulder and said, "I believe you."

Believe you.

Just a few simple words, but they carry a weight of gold.

This is not the trust of an ordinary person, but the trust of a king, a trust that the king has put all his national strength into.

Llane expressed his support for Duke with practical actions.

"Tom, I ask you to use an elite regiment and a few new regiments to withstand the Horde's attack on Southshore. Can you do it?"

Under normal circumstances, General Seamus would have spit at him. It would have been easy to win if they had just deployed the main force, but they still sent the rookie army to die. This was completely blind command.

Seamus now understood clearly that Llane was deliberately holding back for the "Battle of Hinterland" that Duke had mentioned which was very likely to happen.

Seamus nodded: "I will withdraw the Griffin Legion as a reserve."

Abendis was also extremely conflicted. He looked at Llane, then at Duke, and recalled Duke's past miracles. He felt a little helpless: "Okay, I will also withdraw my elite regiment." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"Thanks."

Duke quickly figured that with Llane and Abendis' full support, plus emergency support when necessary, it should be enough.

Duke turned to his deputy Windsor and said, "Since the Horde is trying to send transport ships through the North-South Continent Strait, the Horde is likely to launch an air strike against the southern defense line of Stromgarde. At the same time, if the transport ships pass through the strait, the Horde will launch a landing operation targeting the Hinterlands. I hope Admiral Trollbane can fully consider the situation and send more support from Stromgarde."

There are high mountains between Arathi Highlands and the Hinterlands, and there are many elemental creatures running around on the mountains, which will attack anyone they see. It is quite troublesome to mobilize troops. Marching in the mountains is much more troublesome than transporting troops by sea, and the only time to mobilize troops is now. It will be too late if you are late.

Duke gave the order to Windsor, which meant that he was making the most formal transfer order as the deputy commander of the alliance. This kind of transfer order would not only be communicated by magic transmission, but also by sending griffin cavalry to deliver the message, which was the highest level of transfer order set within the alliance.

Thoras Trollbane could refuse to listen out of selfish motives, but the problem that followed was that his Stromgarde would cry.

After Duke finished speaking, everyone was still worried.

It is very effective to use air force to destroy ground defenses. Everyone has seen griffins before, and their ground attack capability is also quite terrifying. The problem is that there are not many griffins on the Alliance side. The seven human countries of the Alliance have only two or three hundred griffins, and they are usually used as scouts. No king is willing to send griffins to the front battlefield.

Besides, where did the Horde get its large-scale air force?

But Duke had a determined expression.

Llane and the others were puzzled.

However, they soon found out.

When they used their unparalleled art of war to repel several waves of orc attacks and relieved their troops, something went wrong on the defense line of Thandol Bridge.

Judging from the distance, the Horde entered the Strait of North and South Continent earlier, but Stormgarde's defense line against the Strait was arranged with the Thandor Bridge as the center. This made the army of Stromgarde enter the battle state one step later than Southshore.

"Swish--" The huge projection vehicle used its long mechanical arm to throw out a large basket of rocks the size of a human head and smashed them towards the tribal transport ship in the center of the strait.

The tribal transport ships had not really entered the range yet. It was obvious that the tribal laborers rowing inside were frightened or for some other reason. A large number of transport ships were parked outside the range of the long-range weapons of the people of Stromgarde.

"Hahaha! I didn't expect the Horde to actually send a transport ship. I thought this line of defense was wasted." The soldiers from Stromgarde laughed.

During the period of guarding the Sadol Bridge, the people of Stromgarde used a large number of crossbows, catapults, and cannons, and actually trained batches of very good engineers, artillerymen, and crossbowmen.

This is also an unexpected gain.

You know, these people were originally just farmers.

King Thoras Trollbane is a man who knows military affairs. As the first human country among the six northern countries to receive the attack report, King Thoras has always attached great importance to the orcs.

After receiving Duke's official transfer order and notification, Thoras agreed to Duke's request. He obeyed the transfer order and sent a reorganized 5,000-man infantry regiment to Duke. In addition, he urgently mobilized a large number of crossbows and five archer battalions to the Thandol Bridge defense line to form a deep formation to deal with possible "air strikes".

"Air raid? What air raid?"

The soldiers and officers of Stromgarde were all confused. They just followed the orders of the deputy commander of the alliance. All archers and crossbowmen should be dispersed. The same goes for the crossbows. It is best to cover the crossbows with a lot of branches and leaves before firing to conceal them.

What the hell is this?

This completely subverts the military common sense of this era.

Humans are not like elves. Unless they are hunters or elites who have been trained for more than three years, most human archers are terrible at shooting. They can't tell where the arrow will fly if they shoot more than 20 meters away. They can only rely on finding sharpshooters to lead the shooting and conduct large-scale coverage shooting in a certain area to make up for the lack of shooting skills.

It is common knowledge in human military that scattered archers are of no power.

Now the archers of Stromgarde were scattered, confused.

What is more confusing is why are most of the objects placed on the edge of the cliff those that are not assembled properly or are broken, with only a decorative crossbow left, and a bunch of... straw men wearing the armor of Stromgarde soldiers?

It didn't take long for their doubts to be resolved.

This damn tribe really has an air force!

"Look!" Along with the exclamation of an archer, countless people saw many black spots appearing in the sky facing the rising sun.

In just a few breaths, these black spots rapidly enlarged in the field of vision and became black birds with wings spread and flapping.

However, they are so big even from a distance in the sky, so you can imagine their actual size.

"Calm down! Calm down! Stay at your post! Everything is within Deputy Commander Duke's expectations." For a moment, an unknown officer shouted.

Miraculously, the agitated and panicked army quickly calmed down.

Edmund Duke, a magical name. This name represents the bloody heads of more than 200,000 orcs and also represents the victory of the Alliance.

Thinking of the previous bizarre arrangement, the soldiers suddenly realized that their commander had already anticipated it!

The soldiers don't have such a long-term vision, and as long as they know that this is a prepared battle, they won't panic so easily.
