"It seemed like someone was staring at us just now." Vereesa glanced suspiciously at the dense forest not far from the road. Just now she had a vague feeling of being watched in secret.
"Isn't it possible? Haven't the scouts sent by the Alliance army already investigated everything along the way?" Aaron followed Vereesa's gaze and could only see the trees over there swaying slightly in the wind. The scouts who came out of the forest proved that there should be no enemies hiding there.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it." Vereesa withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked to the bow of Dreadwake, looked at the mighty army in front and said, "The marching speed is so slow, when can we get to Silvermoon City."
"There is no way, marching with a large force is always troublesome. Besides, didn't Falstad just say that Silvermoon City has received the news of our arrival and should send troops to respond." Aaron is relatively calm, unlike Vereesa who will go to check on the situation after a while.
Because of the large scale of this army, and the lack of open areas inside Eversong Woods for such a large-scale army to fully deploy, the Alliance army stretched into a long dragon during the march. According to Falstad said that the entire team stretched for several kilometers from the beginning to the end. It was only thanks to Gryphon Riders running back and forth as messengers that they could ensure smooth command of the entire army and prevent the situation from being unable to take care of both the head and the tail.
"Actually, this situation is very dangerous. If a cavalry unit launches the theory Charge in the center of the team, the entire team will be broken up." At this moment, a young man wearing armor decorated with a lion style walked up to Aaron and looked at the Alliance army in front and said.
This person is naturally the king of Kingdom of Stormwind, Varian·Wrynn. Ever since Kael'thas led Master Dalaran off the ship, Dreadwake of Aaron has been serving as a military observer for this expedition. The big shots took a fancy to it. At first, Liam came to the boat because his sister had had enough of the bumpy carriage. Then Sicco Thermaplugg and Muradin, who were familiar with Aaron, and then all the big shots from the entire observation group came together, treating Dreadwake as a mobile hotel.
Aaron doesn't mind these people staying on the ship. Anyway, there are a lot of free rooms on Dreadwake. As long as these big shots don't go crazy and bring all the guards on board, they can definitely fit them in.
After a few days of getting along, Aaron got along very happily with these Alliance big shots. None of these people like to put on airs, especially the younger big shots. After a few days of getting along, they have become friends who can easily laugh and talk.
"Your Majesty Varian." Aaron bowed slightly to the man as a salute, took over the topic and said with a smile, "But the Trolls don't have cavalry, right? And according to our scout's report, there was no trace of Troll in the nearby forest, right?"
"This is what makes me feel something is wrong," Varian's face showed some concern. He was personally trained by Marshal Alliance Sir Lothar since he was a child. Later, he led the people to rebuild the motherland and grew up a lot. Apart from anything else, the basic military and political qualities of a monarch are still qualified," press According to the intelligence reported by the elves before, Amani Trolls can be said to have staked all his wealth this time. If I were to command these Troll, I would definitely send out small-scale elites to continuously interfere with our advance, and then send large troops to initiate a decisive battle before the Alliance army completes its correction."
"If you say so..." After listening to Varian's words, Aaron also realized that the current situation was not quite right. Even if Troll were not prepared before, at least they should not have allowed the Alliance army to advance so smoothly. Then But the actual situation is that there are only some small-scale sporadic Trolls blocking the way of the Alliance army. According to the identification of the elf rangers accompanying the army, these Forest Trolls are not Amani Trollss, but from some small Hordes.
What is even more puzzling is that after Amani Trolls drove High Elf away from the southern area of Eversong Woods, it neither sent manpower to occupy these areas nor showed any signs of attacking Silvermoon City. According to the news from Falstad, Amani Trolls only stationed a force of about two to three thousand people under Silvermoon City, but these people blocked the High Elfs in Silvermoon City and did not dare to move at all, waiting for the Alliance army to arrive to relieve them.
Since half of High Elf's military power was destroyed last time, Zul'Aman's side has not made any moves. There are only some small Horde who are ready to move and can't wait to expand their territory. As a result, they bump into the Alliance's soldiers.
However, even if he knew that this situation was abnormal, the first thing Uther had to do was not to think about what Amani Trolls was thinking, but to let the Alliance army continue to advance. First of all, because the primary goal of this operation was to solve the Quel'Thalas crisis, and the Alliance army would eventually go to Silvermoon City to rescue the siege.
Another reason is the supply problem of the Alliance army. As mentioned before, the Alliance army cannot get supplies at all in the southern area of Eversong Woods, and can only rely on allocating food from the Andorhal granary. However, This consumes too much, so Uther must open up the connection between the Alliance's army and Sunsail Anchorage. Only in this way can Kul Tiras's fleet provide supplies for the Alliance's army.
"Oh, this support operation seems to have turned into an ordinary march." Liam came over at some point and joined in the conversation, "I thought this time it would be a vigorous fight like the one against Orcs a few years ago."
"Just wait, the battle you want to see will definitely happen." Varian glanced at Liam with a subtle expression and said, "Uncle Terenas has made up his mind this time. He wants to use Amani Trolls to establish his power. Even if these Amani Trolls hide in their homes and refuse to come out, Uther will definitely go and pick them out one by one and give them a good fight."
"Haha," Liam thought for a while, and immediately understood what Varian meant. Who does Terenas want to show his authority to? Of course it is Gilneas and Quel'Thalas who have already shown their tendency to withdraw from the alliance.
However, neither Varian nor Uther expected that the first battle after the Alliance's army entered Quel'Thalas would break out in front of Silvermoon City, and Amani Trolls did not attack Alliance's army on its way. However, when the Alliance army arrived and Silvermoon City was unsteady but somewhat relaxed, it launched a surprise attack. The Troll army, which was originally estimated to have only more than two thousand people, finally showed several times more numbers. Although it was still not as many as the Alliance army, it still exceeded five thousand people.
