Chapter 369 Situation on the Front Lines of War
Just as Master Yuvel was about to step into the military tent, the guards of Stromgarde at the door immediately raised their steel forks to block his way.
"What are you doing?"
"By order of the Marshal, no one is permitted to disturb the Marshal during his rest period!"
Yuville sneered, "It's not even dark yet, and your master is certainly taking care of his health. Don't you recognize me? Open your dog eyes and take a good look!"
Upon hearing this, the guards remained unmoved.
A blue flame ignited in Yuvel's eyes, and magical energy surged around him, causing the hem and collar of his magnificent robes to flutter even without wind... Just as he was about to signal his followers to force their way into the marshal's tent...
On the throne, less than ten meters away, Garin squinted, tilted his head, and scratched his earlobe beneath his messy long hair with his right hand, saying lazily, "Oh, I wondered who was making a fuss. It turns out to be Master Yuville of Kirin Tor returning to camp."
"What are you doing? Invite the guests in... Go get some chairs!"
Twisting his neck, Garin suddenly gave a professional fake smile, stood up, and greeted Yuvel with both hands...
Yuvel's eyelids twitched slightly. He barely suppressed the urge to slap the bastard. He leaned forward slightly and nodded, "It's so good that Marshal Garin is safe and sound..." He praised him, but his face remained expressionless as he stared straight at Garin, stopping at the doorway.
Garin made a gesture to help Yuwell up, but the two remained about 30 yards apart, neither moving closer, both seemingly wary of the other.
"Thanks to the blessings of my ancestors, the Thorbain family, I have been saved from the brink of death. I am destined to bring glory to Stromgarde, restore the prestige of the Arathi cavalry, and restore the honor of the Red Kingdom of Stromgarde!"
"For the alliance, we will surely win!"
"How is it? Without my command, has the allied forces made any progress?"
Galin raised his arms and shouted, full of energy, as he drew his sword to admire the Thorbein family mark engraved on the blade... It was indeed a treasured sword belonging to the human general Arathor, which had been passed down for generations.
......
Yuvel turned his head away helplessly and looked inside the tent. The sand table and the map on the wall were still in the same state as before they set off last night.
He walked straight to the map, staring at the key military strongholds marked on it, especially the town of Hillsbrad Foothills and the neighboring Ambermill, which were at the forefront of the contested territory... His gaze swept across the map, lingering on the red-marked Undercity, then at Scarlet Monastery above... He looked at the Undead Stronghold, and even at the remaining Scarlet Crusade strongholds in Hearthglen and Tyr's Hand in the entire Plaguelands...
Master Yuvel shook his head: "The plan is not going well. The allied forces have lost more than half their strength, and Undercity is a trap... The initial victory was bait. Now, our lines are disrupted, and we must find a way to regroup. Otherwise, this camp will be difficult to hold, and Southsea Town will be in grave danger!"
......
It turned out that after the dawn raid, the various units of the human alliance advanced rapidly under cover of darkness, encountering little resistance along the way. The vanguard consisted of approximately 3000 red-armored cavalry from Stromgarde.
They quickly broke through the dozen or so watchtowers of the undead and reached the vicinity of Undercity.
Some of the militia who had defected from the Syndicate pressed their advantage, reverting to their original roles as bandits. They seized the opportunity to attack Brill and the Forsaken's rear town of Deathstroke, killing countless civilians along the way and claiming to purify the undead.
Before dawn, Silverpine Forest's main striker achieved a major victory.
the other side...
The Forsaken garrison patrolling near Undercity all went to support the Undead Bulwark.
The Scarlet Crusade's surprise attack caught the Forsaken in a pincer movement... The entire Scarlet Crusade entrenched in Scarlet Monastery suddenly emerged from tunnels and paths near the monastery, coordinating with the main Scarlet Crusade force attacking from Hearthglen in the Western Plaguelands. With the help of Alliance sentries at Icewind Pass, they stormed the Undead Stronghold, driving away the Argent Dawn's messengers and wiping out the Forsaken guarding it...
The two-pronged attack was effective; under attack from all sides, Undercity seemed to be stretched thin...
Four key towns along the way—Sebercher, Deathknell, Brill, and Ambermill—were blocked and surrounded, and the Forsaken inside could barely resist the Allied attacks... They were cut off from Undercity.
The garrison in Ambermill was wiped out, and the mage forces of Dalaran reoccupied Ambermill Manor, avenging the former Violet Council outlaw, Archmage Atal'ik...
The main force of the human dwarves, the air force, and the minions by the lake... took the opportunity to encircle and annihilate Fennis Wolf Island!
Attempt to cut off the tribe's air supply relay station...
After Ambermill was captured, Wolf Island faced a period of isolation and helplessness.
In this context, even better news came from the fact that the elite Gilnean army, the Hand of Vengeance, which was supposedly invincible near Greymane's Wall, was trapped near Undercity. The feint attack there became the main battleground, with the Gilneans launching a preemptive strike, joined by Terra & Fordring leading the Scarlet Restoration Army, who had been lying in ambush behind Burntwood Bay, and the Scarlet Fleet at sea providing support...
From the Northriver Valley all the way to Silverfang Keep, and the outskirts of Gilneas Bay, they held off Undercity's main army...
At the start of the map, Undercity seemed to be a lone city left!
Queen Sylvanas, confined to her underground city, had no way to organize an effective counterattack or provide support. Even her main forces were fragmented, and the human alliance was advancing with unstoppable momentum. Once all other locations fell, the fall of Undercity was imminent, and the nascent hope of restoring Lordaeron was just around the corner...
Without Garin's command, the human alliance actually progressed smoothly, thanks to the fact that the plan was brought forward.
In half a day, on the nineteenth day after Lorraine awoke, he almost completely wiped out his tribe, causing the members of the tribe, the awakened undead of Undercity, and the Forsaken to vanish completely.
With good news coming in one after another, Master Yuwell was in high spirits and completely ignored some minor details.
He had long forgotten about the unfortunate Prince Garin remaining unconscious. The various mid-level legions at the front were also expanding their gains... searching for any remaining undead creatures; crosses and pyres were everywhere...
The map shows that humans are reclaiming lost territory, and the losses of each unit are relatively small. The resistance of the undead is not as strong as expected... The plan is going very smoothly!
What details were overlooked?
There were just a few tough nuts to crack, which we couldn't get past...
For example, Fenice Wolf Isle, the most important newly established air supply depot in the Eastern Kingdoms of the Horde, has yet to be captured. The goblin airships of Undercity are busy putting out fires and have temporarily suppressed the human ground forces... Meanwhile, the wyvern legion flying in from Arathi Highlands is rapidly assembling...
The airship towers guarded by the Royal Terror Guard outside Undercity have never been captured or destroyed.
The Horde's reinforcements are arriving in droves and gathering outside Brill... Undercity. The Blood Knights and Rangers of Silvermoon City are also showing signs of activity, though they seem to be primarily heading to support the Undead Bulwark.
