Encirclement and Response
"Tell me, have you disclosed military intelligence to the enemy?" Sylvanas bit his silver teeth slightly, and the Arcane blue light in his eyes had a burning tendency. That King of the Amani will regret this threat.ඏ🍧 ☺👮
"No, absolutely not. We didn't have much communication with Trolls, it's just..." The lieutenant looked at the angry commander and couldn't help but shook his head quickly, but then he was stunned again.
"Just what?" Sylvanas looked at the stuck guy, her golden eyebrows trembling, she now had the urge to tear this guy off.
"It's just that Zul'ra Jin had some conversations with us alone, but our topics were only about irrelevant things." The lieutenant shook his head repeatedly.
"We? Who else talked to that Zul'ra Jin with you?" Sylvanas's eyebrows trembled more and more.
"Captain Hoffman, Li'jielin Lieutenants Priest and Alnaxi, we are not together, we just chatted with Zul'ra Jin alone, but I guarantee with my personality that we just talked about some irrelevant things." The lieutenant tried to defend himself. He was now afraid that he would be treated as a traitor. However, what he didn't know was that Zul'ra took a fancy to his character and left him alone to send messages.
"What do you mean by irrelevant things?" Sylvanas suppressed his emotions.
"It's just some things about Sun King, Silvermoon Council and Silvermoon City that have nothing to do with the military. He didn't even ask for your name." The lieutenant tried not to tremble.
"Breathe." Sylvanas closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened his eyes and looked at the helpless lieutenant.
"You have won military treatment for yourself, but I am willing to give you a chance to regain your glory as a soldier."
"Aux is willing to fight for Quel'Thalas." The lieutenant felt a little exhausted, but he still insisted on holding his chest up, almost, almost, he would be regarded as a traitor.
"Very well, soldier, you will stay with me for the rest of the time. Also, how many people know that you are a prisoner?" Sylvanas was very serious.
"After I was left behind, I identified myself to the soldiers when I saw them. I don't know how many people knew that I was a prisoner." Aux felt a little ashamed.
"From now on, you stay with me, remember, you are not allowed to talk to anyone other than me." Sylvanas looked at the ashamed guy, his thin and handsome cheeks moved.
"General, what do you mean..." Aux raised his eyes in surprise. This is to block the news about the prisoners!
"It will not be of any benefit to us if the news of the prisoners spreads. As for the captured soldiers, I..." Sylvanas looked at the surprised soldiers and couldn't help but feel that she couldn't get angry. The blue light in her eyes also drooped. When the enemy and we meet on this battlefield, what can she do?
"I understand, General, I can understand you." Aux looked at the officer with the blue light in his eyes, and when he thought about the current situation, his heart sank slightly.
"Understand? You don't understand me at all..." Sylvanas looked at the guy who seemed to understand, and couldn't help but feel angry and wanted to laugh, but her expression was replaced by helplessness. Why don't those Trolls act according to common sense!
"General, I have to tell you some bad news. Lor'themar's army is already coming towards us." Lirath rushed into the temple in a hurry.
"This doesn't seem to be bad news for us." Sylvanas looked at his running brother, the tips of his golden eyebrows trembling slightly.
"No, Lor'themar has joined forces with Tranquillien. They are rushing here, but they have not been able to disperse those Trolls. Our road to the west has been cut off. To the south is Thalas Mountains and to the east is Battleaxe Ridge, there are Sunscar Peak and Trolls troops to the north, and we have been surrounded." Lirath looked at the surprised-looking soldier Aux, his face a little anxious, Lor'themar charged too hard.
"Surrounded? That's it." Sylvanas listened to the latest intelligence, thought for a moment, and instantly understood Zul'ra's combat goal, attracted her army to the southeast of Sunscar Peak, and then used the terrain to surround her army. This encirclement was more deadly than the previous north-south pincer attack between Tranquillien and Deatholme.
"Sylvanas, what should we do now?" Lirath asked her sister.
"Tell me the approximate distribution of the enemy's current strength." Sylvanas quickly made a decision.
"The number of people in the west is the largest. According to current estimates, it is less than 10,000 people, while the east is Battleaxe Ridge. The number of their troops in the north is unknown, but they seem to be relatively small." Lirath explained the currently known distribution of enemy troops as quickly as possible.
Which side should we break out of? Sylvanas listened to his brother's report and made a choice in his mind instantly. Battleaxe Ridge on the east side didn't need to think about it. She was not a pig. If the other party dared to challenge me, it meant that they were ready to deal with it. If she couldn't fight, Battleaxe Ridge would get trapped in the encirclement and die more and more.
Thalas Mountains in the south may be able to get over it, but Sylvanas won't consider it. Her army has too many people, and Elves is not good at climbing mountains. If she goes that way, she will definitely be chased one after another. The only choice before her is to go west or north.
Trolls in the west has a large number of people, so it is definitely difficult to break through there. However, Trolls in the north has an unknown number of people. It seems that he should be able to break through, but it is most likely a dead end full of ambushes. Sylvanas feels as if his heart is pinched by an invisible big hand. If he chooses the wrong road, many, many people will die.
"Lirath, ask for reinforcements from Silvermoon City, and send Lor'themar with two thousand people to launch a test attack on Trolls in the north, trying to open a gap there, and all the remaining soldiers will gather together." Sylvanas raised his golden eyebrows fiercely, and he could not focus only on the breakout.
"General, it will take three days for Silvermoon City's reinforcements to arrive here at the earliest." Lirath's eyebrows moved. It will take three days for the reinforcements to arrive, and it is impossible to go into battle directly upon arrival.
"Soldier, I will give you a mission now. I ask you to go Battleaxe Ridge again. Do you dare?" Sylvanas turned his attention to Aux.
"Aux is waiting for the order." Aux thought about the fact that he was not tortured and killed as a prisoner. The thought in his mind changed and he went there. Maybe he could get some points by completing this mission. He puffed up his chest at the thought!
"Go to Battleaxe Ridge and send a message to that King of the Amani Zul'ra Jin for me, saying that I will respond to his challenge, but I want to change the time to five days later. Then we will decide the outcome. The loser will be speechless, and the dead will be silent. Ask him if he dares to accept this challenge?" Sylvanas's expression was ferocious and angry, and the words were squeezed out of his throat.
"Okay, okay." Aux looked at the officer with a ferocious and angry expression. His words in response were a bit awkward, and he began to feel weak in his heart. He changed the date of the decisive battle. Will the other party agree to this request? Isn't it a little irrational for me to agree to Battleaxe Ridge again?
