The conditions proposed by Uther are actually quite mild. First of all, they require Silvermoon City to send some High Elf who are familiar with Amani Trolls to join the coalition forces to serve as guides. After all, the coalition soldiers are fighting away from home, let alone Forest Troll has been entrenched in Zul'Aman for thousands of years, but Eversong Woods is not familiar with the terrain. Even if Uther distributes a Quel'Thalas map to every soldier, this problem cannot be solved.
Uther was aware of this problem when they marched into Eversong Woods before. When the coalition scouts entered Eversong Woods and did their best to conduct reconnaissance, they would always have various problems due to unfamiliarity with the terrain. The luckier ones would make a few rounds in the forest before they came out, but the less fortunate ones who directly ran into the small group of Troll wandering in the forest were relatively lucky.
According to the report received by Uther, a small group of scouts even directly touched the door of Zul'Aman. If they hadn't happened to meet the elf rangers who were monitoring Forest Troll's movements near Zul'Aman, these scouts might have become Amani Trolls's sacrifices or even rations.
The second request made by Uther is that Silvermoon City would send a large number of magicians to participate in this battle. Troll's magic and Loa's gifts All spellcasting abilities require spellcasters to decipher. Although Dalaran sent dozens of mages to fight with the army, compared to the total number of coalition forces, this number is nothing at all, and cannot protect the safety of coalition soldiers at all.
This can be seen from today's attack against Troll. The sorcerers hidden among the ordinary Troll Warriors can always chant various evil spells to interfere with the coalition's formation, causing the Trolls to almost break through the coalition's defense several times.
According to what Uther learned from several High Elfs, most of these Trolls come from several small Hordes nearby. When the army attacks Zul'Aman, they will have to face Amani Trolls, which has more spellcasters and has received protection from Loa. When the time comes, we can't let the coalition soldiers use their lives to fill the gap.
It just so happens that Quel'Thalas is famous for Arcane Magic. Although the total population of High Elf is far behind that of human countries, the number of spellcasters is not inferior. Since the coalition forces are here to support Quel'Thalas, it makes no sense for High Elf not to contribute, right?
If the first two requests made by Uther were all out of consideration for improving the combat capabilities of the coalition forces, the third one he mentioned left everyone present confused as to what kind of medicine the commander-in-chief was selling in the jar.
"I hope that after this war is over, a military parade can be held outside Silvermoon City. We don't expect Silvermoon City to pay us anything," when he said this, Uther glanced at Dar'Khan, although it did not say it clearly, it meant that High Elf had no gratitude. After a slight pause, Uther continued, "We hope to let the people of Quel'Thalas know who helped them get out of trouble."
After hearing Uther's words, everyone present could not help but communicate in low voices with the people around them, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not figure out what Uther wanted to do. You must know that the coalition's target for this battle was Zul'Aman, which was far in the southeast corner of Yongsong Forest. There was an entire Yongsong Forest between them and Silvermoon City. Going back and forth like this would be a waste of the alliance's military strength.
If there is anyone present who can understand Uther's intention of making this request, it should be Aaron. After all, he proposed this matter to Terenas. This matter is an important part for Lordaeron to show off his muscles within the Alliance.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Aaron often saw military parade scenes in various media before traveling. Every successful military parade can effectively improve the self-confidence and cohesion of the people, and at the same time, it can also show off one's muscles to some people with malicious intentions.
For Terenas, who intends to establish absolute dominance within the Alliance, Aaron's proposal can be said to be very to his liking, although holding such a ceremony is quite laborious. It means hurting money, but for Terenas who insists on keeping the Orcs concentration camp, what is the waste of such a small amount of food? Can the Orcs prisoners eat so much for so many years?
What's more, although the main force of the coalition this time was provided by Lordaeron, this operation was under the name of the Alliance after all. Kul Tiras helped transport supplies. Terenas felt that compared with the results that could be achieved, this price was still bearable.
However, according to Terenas's idea, this matter needs to wait until the war is won. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, wouldn't the military parade become a joke?
However, Uther judged based on the attitude of Quel'Thalas's upper echelon conveyed by Dar'Khan, the Silvermoon City messenger, that if he waited until the end of the war to mention this matter, it would be directly rejected by the other party. It was better to raise it before the war started to avoid future trouble.
After several days of wrangling, Uther finally reached an agreement on behalf of the Alliance and Silvermoon City. Finally, several requests made by Uther were approved, but Silvermoon City still insisted on not allowing the coalition forces to enter Silvermoon City and would not provide supplies to the coalition forces.
Uther actually doesn't care much about these two points. Although the attitude of Silvermoon City reflected in these two points is very chilling, this problem does exist. There is no way. The number of soldiers of the coalition is almost one-tenth of that of Silvermoon City. It would be difficult for Silvermoon City to really provide supplies to the coalition.
After several discussions between the two sides, Silvermoon City also made concessions and provided some symbolic supplies to the coalition forces, finally saving face.
Thanks to the wrangling during this period, the coalition soldiers had a good rest for a few days. Although they also encountered sneak attacks and harassment by Trolls in the past few days, a large-scale battle like the first day never happened. By the time Uther ordered the march to Zul'Aman, the coalition soldiers had completely eliminated the fatigue caused by traveling thousands of miles in the previous period, and could face the next battle in good condition.
Aaron also successfully reached an agreement with the coalition forces through Sylvanas and was allowed to fight with the army. After all, the scene of Dreadwake driving away Troll with dozens of rockets that day is still vivid in my mind. There is no need for the coalition forces to reject this powerful combat force.
As before, everyone in the observation group of this war continued to rely on Dreadwake, and said that if Aaron could use them, just ask.
Different from the previous loose march, this coalition army set up a battle formation from the beginning, not only to get the soldiers into the state, but also to allow the elves to integrate into the coalition battle formation as soon as possible, so as to avoid the problem of insufficient coordination after the war started.
Two days later, the gate of Zul'Aman has appeared in the sight of coalition soldiers from a distance, and the countdown to a war has begun. 2k. com
