The Air Force would drop bombs from above to inflict mass casualties, while his own assault bear troops attacked on the ground and Sylvanas's troops supported them from behind. With 1,200 soldiers and 600 battle pets in the ground force, it would already be a powerful combined assault. He asked the lieutenant colonel whether he was interested, and Lieutenant Colonel Glo nodded without hesitation.
Yu Lin Bloodhawk brought Sylvanas and Lieutenant Colonel Glo into a tent and found a military map. Then he laid out his plan to attack Jintha'Alor.
Among Troll cities, Jintha'Alor could not compare with Zul'Aman or Zul'Gurub. Both of those cities could summon an avatar of the evil god Hakkar, posing an enormous threat to the Air Force. Jintha'Alor could not.
So long as the Air Force carried enough bombs and flew high enough, the Troll Javelin Throwers could do nothing to them. All the Air Force needed to do was bomb the city indiscriminately. They only had to spare the area containing the Vilebranch Giant Wolves. There was no need to worry about wasting bombs.
Lieutenant Colonel Glo hesitated. He said this was a major military operation, and he had no authority to approve it as a lieutenant colonel. They would also need the navy to transport the troops and Dragonhawks, as well as build takeoff platforms in the Hinterlands.
Dragonhawks could land easily anywhere, but taking off with riders required an elevated platform. It was difficult for them to take off from level ground while carrying someone. A Hippogryph, for instance, needed a running start of fifty or sixty meters to take off with a rider.
Still, he agreed to Yu Lin Bloodhawk's suggestion of sending Dragonhawk Riders ahead to scout, and promised to report the matter to the Air Force commander.
