Battle Plan
Zul'ra withdrew her gaze from the scene, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the tent flap being lifted, and Jaina walked in, bringing with her a fragrant breeze, her gaze questioning. →
"How is it? It's getting dark outside."
"Get everyone ready. The demon's camp isn't far from us, and there might be an attack tonight." Zul'ra hesitated slightly, wondering if it would be too Recklessness to charge in immediately, and if so, how to launch the attack.
"Found it?" Jaina was slightly surprised; she hadn't expected it to be found so quickly.
"Yes, we found them. If they don't move, it will be midnight by the time we get there now, which could be disadvantageous for the operation." Zul'ra nodded, analyzing the situation. He had never directly led troops in combat before, so his considerations were cautious. His first instinct was to take care of the troops he had brought with him.
"But Magena said that Zmodlor is summoning a powerful demon." Jaina with slight concern.
"That's right, I saw it, they were indeed making a sacrifice." Zul'ra did not refute Jaina's words.
"Then why don't we hurry and interrupt their sacrifice?" Jaina, slightly surprised. She noticed Zul'ra's choice of words. "See."
"Perhaps, we can't interrupt the sacrifice, and instead, they might use the opportunity to ambush us, because my reconnaissance may have already been detected by that demon on the other side." Zul'ra spread her hands innocently; judging from the little demon's reaction, it must have seen her.
"Your idea is cautious, but it's not right. We should be braver." Jaina looked at Zul'ra, understanding his caution, but also somewhat dissatisfied. As a human elite, her military training taught her to bravely and loyally defeat the enemy, and she had brought elite knights who planned to charge straight in.
"Courage is a necessary quality for combat, but wisdom is equally important." Zul'ra shook his head, rejecting Jaina's recklessness. He always prioritized stability unless there was an emergency. What could Zmodlor possibly do? Could he summon Archimonde or Kil'jaeden? If the Legion's three leaders didn't show up, the others would just be easy prey.
"So what do you want to do?" Jaina pondered for a moment and decided to listen to Zul'ra's thoughts first. In this situation, it was most important to reach a consensus, and it was the last thing that could happen if there was a rift due to disagreements.
"Have the Shaman and Priest lead a search party to the northwest under cover of night, and have all the Warrior prepare. If those demons discover us, given their chaotic nature, they will surely launch a preemptive attack," Zul'ra outlined the plan.
"Then we will bravely confront the enemy, right?" Jaina listened to Zul'ra's plan of waiting for the enemy to come to their doom and nodded. The plan might be good, the only concern was that Zul'ra used "if." If those demons didn't come, they would gain nothing, and they would have no initiative.
"Yes, set a trap and a snare, and wait for them to come." Zul'ra glanced at Jaina; this girl didn't seem like the reckless type!
"But wouldn't this put us at a disadvantage?" Jaina was somewhat annoyed by Zul'ra's plan, feeling completely powerless and waiting for someone else to fall into her trap.
"Being passive is indeed passive, but we can turn this plan into an active one. We can set up traps and snares, and if they don't come, we'll go to them, inform them of our location, attract their attention, and lead them into our trap," Zul'ra added, refining the plan.
"While drawing most of their attention, we can organize a special squad to storm their camp, destroy their altar, and thwart Zmodlor's evil plans."
"This method is indeed very comprehensive, but it seems a bit..." Jaina looked at Zul'ra with slight surprise. This guy didn't look as gloomy and ferocious as other Trolls, but he seemed to be even more cunning in his mental calculations. She would have to be more careful in the future.
"If the plan is good, we need to implement it immediately. Military operations are decided by the speed of action." Zul'ra didn't want to hear Jaina's description of her battle plan anymore; time was of the essence.
"Alright, let's start preparing immediately!" Jaina was slightly surprised by Zul'ra's words. She felt that his words were very practical, and indeed, their unit didn't have much time left.
With the combined efforts of Zul'ra and Jaina, the allied forces made swift arrangements. Small teams of Shaman, Priest, and Warrior were deployed to the northwest for reconnaissance and surveillance, while the original camp was quickly set up to appear as an unsuspecting but trap-filled camp.
Human cavalry were positioned on the left side of the camp, while raiders were positioned on the right side, with Shu'halo Warrior and Dwarves musketeers in the center.
When the enemy attacks from the front, the Shu'halo Warrior and Dwarves musketeers will be the first to meet the enemy, drawing them into the camp and fighting as they retreat. Then, the cavalry and raiders from both sides will launch an attack from the rear to draw the enemy's attention. The Shu'halo Warrior and Dwarves musketeers will then coordinate with the rear forces to fight.
"Remember, you are to support each other in battle. Do your best to draw the enemy's attention and inflict casualties on them. Don't fight yourselves. If you get caught up in a chaotic melee, we may face annihilation." Zul'ra instructed the various factions in charge of the battle, and the Warrior from all races nodded in agreement.
"Zul'ra, did we overlook something? What about the special operations team?" Jaina looked at Zul'ra, suddenly realizing that while all the manpower seemed to have been deployed, what about the special operations team that was supposed to infiltrate enemy territory to thwart their plot?
"This team is now formed, it's just the two of us, how does it feel?" Zul'ra smiled as she looked at Jaina, whom she had suddenly remembered.
"...Excellent, this is exactly what I was hoping for." Jaina, after a moment's hesitation at Zul'ra's seemingly provocative smile, couldn't help but break into a hearty laugh.
"They're here, Satyrs, and demons too, at least a thousand or more." Just as Zul'ra and Jaina finished their preparations, a human Priest rushed over. Zmodlor had noticed Zul'ra's spying, and the demons' chaotic nature led them to take the initiative, which played right into Zul'ra's plan.
"Then let's fight! For what you want to achieve, and for our world, fight with all your strength and all your wisdom, and victory will be ours!" Zul'ra scanned everyone, raising his right fist in a fierce gesture.
