Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 293: Rest
Chapter 293 - Rest
Warmth is short-lived. If personal matters lead to the tragedy of the elven residents in Eversong Woods of Quel'Thalas, the warmth of tonight will become a rift in the future.
In fact, less than five minutes after Alleria ran away, she turned back, lowered her head slightly, slumped her shoulders, and clenched her fists.
"I know it's hard to force the issue. The Horde is heading for Quel'Thalas, and they've already left us behind. We've already lost several days. If we don't gather our forces and march quickly, we'll only be left further behind!"
Duke naturally grabbed Alleria's arms with both of his hands. "It is extremely taboo for a large army to suddenly get up in the middle of the night and march quickly. We humans don't have the Dark Vision of the elves. There will be many problems just marching. And I also have to guard against a sneak attack from the remaining tribal army."
"A sneak attack?"
"Yes, a sneak attack. I have to say, Orgrim did a great job. He knew we would come here to help the Wildhammer dwarves. So he led the main force to the north, leaving some behind to slow us down, such as the orcs who made a feint attack during the day. Another example is the one lurking deep in the Hinterlands Forest..."
"What else?" Alleria widened her eyes.
She suddenly felt a shudder. If Duke really let the army march overnight as she requested, they would undoubtedly be attacked by the Horde lurking in the forest. In the dark, the human army's performance was very poor. As long as the right ambush location was chosen, even if they could not defeat the humans immediately, they could drag the battle into a chaotic fight, which the orcs were best at.
In a chaotic battle, the power of the orcs' individual combat power would be multiplied, and it would even be possible to defeat the human reinforcements by relying on a chaotic battle. Then, Quel'Thalas would be truly isolated and helpless.
At this moment, Alleria realized the gap between herself and Duke. She might be a very competent battlefield commander, but she was not good at strategy. In front of commanders of Duke and Orgrim's level, she was simply not good enough.
In truth, Alleria could not imagine how daunting the task would be for the reinforcements: chasing an elite army, moving desperately, and fending off possible ambushes. She just hoped they could make it to Eversong Woods in time.
"What should we do? The main force of the orcs is such a long distance away from us. Every second we delay will allow the Horde to approach Quel'Thalas faster." Even if she didn't want to admit it, at this time, Duke was the only one who could give her advice.
"Nothing to do. You came all the way from Quel'Thalas, you must be very tired. I suggest you have a good sleep first, and then..." When Duke saw Alleria's stubborn eyes, he smiled bitterly: "Well, you won't rest until I reveal the answer to the mystery, right?"
Alleria stared at Duke with her bright eyes, as if to say, "You're asking a question even though you already know the answer."
Duke shrugged. "This isn't a fair race in the arena. Orgrim can send his army to harass us, so why can't I send someone to get in front of them and stop them? Don't forget, who deduced that the Horde would take this Road. Well, the hint is FFF."
FFF is naturally Duke's flamethrower unit.
Now it was already midsummer in May, so it wasn't that difficult to set a fire. Although Alleria, as an elf, hated the practice of burning the forest, she was facing a powerful enemy and she was not a druid who valued nature above all else.
No matter whether the cat is black or white, a cat that can catch mice is a good cat.
Because of the battle in Silverpine Forest, Lordaeron had almost exhausted all its troops in the rear, and it was simply not practical for Lordaeron to send troops to stop Orgrim's elite. There was really no other good way to delay the Horde army with a small number of troops.
Alleria suddenly realized, and her face suddenly became very interesting: "Asshole, you have already calculated everything, and then forced me to betray my country and become your vassal?"
Without caring at all, Alleria pounced forward, opened her white teeth, and bit Duke's left shoulder hard.
"Ah! It hurts! Are you a puppy?!" No kidding, Alleria's bite really hurts, it's the kind of pain that makes you feel like your entire piece of flesh is being torn off. Duke's tears burst out.
Alleria had good teeth, but she didn't bite any more. Duke felt a wet feeling on his shoulder - Alleria was crying. Turning his head, Duke saw crystal tears sliding down Alleria's beautiful face.
Duke was speechless for a moment.
"I know you didn't do this on purpose. If it weren't for Anasterian and the Silver Moon Council, you wouldn't have to be so awkward... I just feel so tired. If I knew the tragedy would happen but was powerless to stop it, I would really collapse... I'm so tired, let me rest for a while, but I warn you, don't attack me. Otherwise, I will hate you..."
As she spoke, Alleria held Duke in her arms and snored sweetly.
Gently stroking Alleria's brilliant golden hair, Duke smiled faintly.
"You've worked hard. Have a good sleep."
Alleria was indeed very hard-working. After Duke informed her of the danger in Quel'Thalas, she first led a team of nearly a thousand rangers to rush back to Quel'Thalas for nearly a thousand kilometers because there were still a few Horde warships on the sea Road, which was unsafe. After finding it useless to warn her homeland, she rushed to Eversong Forest and mobilized the people to prepare for evacuation. Finally, she found that it was fruitless, so she desperately rushed to the Hinterlands to seek Duke's help.
Alleria hadn't had a good rest since Duke arrived in Arathi Highlands. Now that she was finally relaxed, she naturally slept soundly.
Duke held her in his arms, gently put her on his bed, covered her with the quilt, and walked out the door.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, Duke immediately felt multiple eyes on his face. freewёbnoνel.com
"Hmph! If you dare to take advantage of this moment, I will kill you." Sylvanas said harshly and then disappeared.
Duke didn't answer. He just watched Sylvanas turn around and leave. He stayed there for two seconds, then touched his nose: I knew that your sister-in-law, who always does bad things, was eavesdropping. No one would touch Alleria at this time.
Duke turned his gaze to Vanessa.
The not-so-obedient maid immediately muttered to herself, "Ah, I am such a busy maid. I am just a maid, but I have to go to the battlefield. I wonder if my black-hearted master will occasionally be kind enough to give me some money."
"Pfft!" Duke always found Vanessa funny no matter how many times he saw her. This girl seemed to dislike him, but she would always help him with housework just right: "Well, your master is rich, so your salary will be twice as much as it is now."
"That's good enough. I can go change my dagger now."
Is there a maid like you?
