Chapter 357 A Short Rest
Warmth is short-lived. If the elven residents in the Eversong Forest in Quel'Thalas tragically die due to private affairs, the warmness tonight will become a crack in the future.
In fact, within five minutes of running away, Alleria turned back again, her head slightly lowered, her shoulders slumped, her fists clenched.
"I know too well that no man can beat us. The Horde is heading for Quel'Thalas, and they've left us behind. We've lost days. Not getting our forces together soon will only pull us further apart!"
Duke naturally grabbed Aurelia's arms with both hands: "It's very taboo for an army to suddenly get up and march in the middle of the night. We humans don't have the [dark vision] of elves. Just marching will cause trouble." A lot of problems. And I have to guard against the remaining Horde army sneak attack."
"Sneak attack?"
"Yes, sneak attack. I have to say, Orgrim did a good job. He knew we would come here to help the Wildhammer dwarves. So he led the main force north, leaving some to slow us down, like Those orcs who were feinting during the day. Or the one lurking in the depths of the Hinterlands forest..."
"Anything else?" Alleria's eyes widened.
She felt a sudden tremor. If Duke really let the army march overnight at her begging, he would undoubtedly be attacked by the tribe lurking in the forest. In the dark night, the performance of the human army is very bad, as long as the location of the ambush is selected correctly. Even if they couldn't defeat the human beings in the first place, they could drag the battle into the chaos that the orcs were best at.
In a chaotic battle, the power of the orcs' individual combat will be multiplied, and it is even possible to defeat the human support army by relying on the chaotic war. Then, at that time, Quel'Thalas will be truly isolated and helpless.
At this moment, Alleria realized the gap between herself and Duke. Maybe she is a very competent field commander, but she is not good at strategy. In front of commanders of the level of Duke and Orgrim, she is not enough to look at.
In fact, Alleria couldn't imagine how difficult the task of the support army was: chasing an elite army, moving desperately and resisting possible ambushes. She just hoped they would make it to Eversong Woods in time.
"Then what should we do? The main force of the orcs has opened such a large distance from us. Every second of our delay will make the Horde approach Quel'Thalas faster in disguise." Even if she doesn't want to admit it, at this time, she can give her Only Duke had the idea.
"It's nothing to do. You came from Quel'Thalas, and you're already very tired. I suggest you get a good night's sleep first, and then..." When Duke saw Aurelia's stubborn eyes, he smiled wryly: "Well, you won't rest until I solve the mystery, will you?"
Alleria's bright eyes stared at Duke, as if you knew what to ask.
Duke shrugged: "This is not a race of fair competition in the arena. Orgrim can send a large army to harass us, why can't I send people to go around in front of them to stop them? Don't forget, who deduced The Horde will march this route. Well, the hint is FFF."
FFF is naturally Duke's flamethrower unit.
Now that the time has entered the midsummer of May, it is really not too difficult to set fire. Although Alleria, as an elf, hated this method of burning the forest, but firstly, she was facing a great enemy, and secondly, she was not a druid who was supreme in nature.
It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat.
Because of the great battle in Silverpine Forest, Lordaeron almost emptied all the troops in the rear. It is not practical to ask Lordaeron to send troops to block Orgrim's elite. There is really no other way to delay the tribe's army with a small number of troops.
Aurelia suddenly realized, and her face suddenly became very exciting: "Bastard, you have already settled everything, and then forced me to betray the motherland and become your vassal?"
Regardless, Alleria pounced forward, opened her white teeth, and bit Duke hard on the left shoulder.
"Ah! It hurts! Are you a puppy!?" Not kidding, Aurelia's bite really hurts, it's a kind of pain that the whole piece of flesh is about to be torn off. Duke burst into tears.
Alleria's teeth were fine, but she didn't bite any more. Duke felt a wet feeling on his shoulder——Aurelia was crying. Turning his head, Duke caught a glimpse of crystal tears rolling down Aurelia's beautiful face.
Duke was speechless for a moment.
"I know, you didn't do it on purpose. If it weren't for Anasterian and the Silvermoon Council bastards, you wouldn't need to be so awkward... I just feel so tired. If you know that tragedy will happen but you can't stop it , I'm really going to collapse...I'm so tired, let me take a rest, but I warn you, don't shoot me. Otherwise, I will hate you..."
While talking, Alleria hugged Duke like this, and let out a sweet sound of breathing.
Gently stroking Aurelia's brilliant long golden hair, Duke smiled faintly.
"Thank you for your hard work, sleep well."
Alleria is indeed very hard. After Duke informed Quel'Thalas of the danger, because there are still a small number of tribal warships on the sea route, it is not safe. She first led a ranger team of nearly a thousand people to rush back to Quel'Thalas for nearly a thousand kilometers. After warning her homeland, she found it was useless. They rushed to Eversong Forest and mobilized the people to get ready to evacuate. In the end, they found nothing, so they desperately rushed to the Hinterlands to seek Duke's rescue.
Ever since Duke came to Arathi Highlands, Aurelia hasn't had a good rest until now. Now that her spirit is finally relaxed, she naturally sleeps in a dark sleep.
Duke hugged her, put her gently on his bed, covered her with the quilt, and walked out the door.
As soon as he stepped out of the gate, Duke immediately sensed multiple gazes on his face.
"Hmph! If you dare to sneak in at this moment, I will kill you." Queen Xi put down a cruel sentence, and then disappeared.
Duke didn't answer, just stared at Queen Xi's handsome figure turning away for two seconds, then touched his nose: I knew that your sister-in-law, who was always doing bad things, was listening to the wall, and the ghost touched Aurelia at this time.
Duke turned his gaze to Vanessa.
The disobedient little maid suddenly said to herself: "Oh, I am really busy as a maid. She is obviously a maid, but she has to go to the battlefield with her. I don't know if my black-hearted master will occasionally show kindness to me to process money Woolen cloth."
"Pfft!" No matter how many times he saw Vanessa, Duke felt a little funny. This girl seemed to dislike him no matter what, and she would always help him with housework just right: "Well, your master is rich, so your wages will be double what you are now."
"That's about the same. I can change the dagger."
Is there a maid like you?
