So Xavius soon noticed that those annoying guys who had been harassing him for four or five days seemed to have completely disappeared. When he first discovered this, Xavius was still a little confused, but soon Nordrassil, who was getting closer and closer, made him give up thinking about this.
"There is so much magic power, these common people are guarding such a precious tree but don't know how to use it." Xavius looked at Nordrassil's stretched crown with intoxication, stretched out his hand to grab it twice, turned around and urged his men to speed up.
The terrain of Mount Hyjal is very rugged and difficult. Tens of thousands of coalition forces can only line up in long columns and plod forward on mountain roads. The casualties caused by the terrain are not even less than when they were harassed before. The main reason is that Quilboar after being corroded by Nightmare reacts very slowly. Problems will occur if the terrain is slightly more complicated. This makes Xavius even more distressed, but there is no good solution.
It was also because of the problems caused by the rugged mountain road that Xavius was a little worried, which made him completely ignore the reason why he had not been attacked along the way.
However, this force was destined not to reach Nordrassil smoothly. Night Elf could not just watch them approach. In fact, Xavius knew this very well. As the team got closer and closer to Nordrassil, Xavius still had some vigilance in his heart, so when he saw Night Elf setting up a formation on a rare open field in front of him, he was not too surprised.
Different from the defense line Shandris deployed before Ashenvale, this time Night Elf sent Druids of the Claw to stand at the front of the team, surrounded by Ancient of War Help from allies like E. With the lessons learned from Mountain Giant being corrupted by Nightmare, Night Elf don't dare to let these allies serve as the main force of defense anymore.
The situation of Druid is different. They have dealt with Nightmare a lot among Emerald Dream, and they are much more comfortable in resisting corrosion.
The giant bears that Druids of the Claw turned into were followed by the assembled sentries. In addition, there were also a large number of Priest from Sisterhood of Elune. Due to the ban on Arcane Magic, the casters among Night Elf except Apart from Druid, there are also these Priest who believe in Elune. Although in terms of combat effectiveness, the performance of Priest is somewhat worse, but they can use various auxiliary spells to enhance their own combat effectiveness, and also enhance the ability of allies to resist Nightmare.
Behind these elves is Glaive Thrower, a special unit of Night Elf. This technically primitive chariot can be regarded as a large crossbow vehicle, but what is projected from the vehicle is an extremely sharp blade.
Night Elf There are a large number of Hippogryph knights patrolling back and forth in the air. Most of the knights riding on Hippogryph are elite shooters selected from the sentries. Together with the quick-response Hippogryph, they can carry out all-round long-range attacks on the enemy from the air.
When Xavius discovered Night Elf's battle formation, Night Elf was already ready for battle. Although there was no more surprise attack on Xavius's troops along the way, it did not mean that Night Elf did not understand the enemy's movements.
Hippogryph knight, Storm Crow transformed into Druids of the Talon, Faerie Dragon who is small and ignores spell attacks... Night Elf's side has no shortage of air units for reconnaissance. If the demigod Aviana is still there, then all the birds flying in the sky can provide intelligence to Night Elf.
After confirming the enemy's march route, Shandris immediately discussed with Tyrande the place to set up the formation. Night Elf, who had not suffered such a provocation for a long time, vowed to make the enemy pay a heavy price.
"Speaking of which, why don't you set up an ambush at the intersection ahead?" Aaron seems to be a little idle at the moment. These Night Elf will not listen to his wisdom. He is a Paladin was not easy to cooperate with Druid, and he did not want to give up this great opportunity to observe the strength of Night Elf, so he simply stayed in the command headquarters of Shandris.
Before Shandris came back, it was Tyrande who organized the Night Elf army, but once Shandris came back, Tyrande He left all the dispatching of troops and formations to his adopted daughter, and he was responsible for organizing the logistics at the rear. Night Elf It had been hundreds of years since there had been a large-scale war, and Tyrande had quite a lot to deal with.
Hearing Aaron's question, Shandris glanced at him, shook his head, and looked at Aaron with a half-smile, "If I hadn't been sure that you were you before, just hearing your question, I would have doubted whether I had recognized the wrong person."
"What... what do you mean?" Aaron scratched his head, not quite understanding what Shandris meant.
"It's not interesting," Shandris walked around the command table in front of him, walked to Aaron and pointed to the mountain road ahead and explained to Aaron, "You have also seen the terrain Mount Hyjal. Is there a place to stay on the mountain road?"
"What..." Aaron reacted after being reminded by Shandris. Mount Hyjal has a rugged terrain with cliffs on one side and cliffs on the other. If you want to set up an ambush on this kind of terrain, it will only be possible if everyone in Night Elf is a spider that can walk on a vertical surface.
Aaron, who realized that he had made a trial and error, turned slightly red and quickly changed the subject. "Those Quilboar have arrived, ask your people to prepare."
"You have the worst eyesight among the people present, right?" Shandris glanced at Aaron and did not continue to argue with him. He stood up because he had discovered the appearance of the enemy, so he wanted to take command from the front. As he walked forward, he ordered, "Glaive Thrower, prepare! Sentinels, form array!..."
Shandris walked step by step to the front of the battle formation, issuing orders sentence by sentence. As the orders were passed on, the entire Night Elf army was mobilized.
The first one to launch the attack was Glaive Thrower. The sharp blades projected by these tanks arced across our own camp and landed on the enemy who was the first to rush out of the mountain road.
This type of chariot, which was originally supposed to be used against buildings, can now be used to deal with flesh and blood creatures with great destructive power. After the powerful and heavy blade falls into the Quilboar battle formation, it can often take away the lives of three or four Quilboar.
But the biggest drawback of Glaive Thrower is that it is slow to reload. After the first round of attacks, you need to wait for a while before launching the second round of attacks.
This interval also gave the enemy time to deploy their formation. Of course, Night Elf would not give the enemy a chance to prepare for battle with peace of mind. The sentry's arrow volleys filled the Glaive Thrower reloading gap, continuously reducing the number of enemies.
