Chapter 77 Troll: Strike first to gain the upper hand

 To the east of the Salo Basin is a mountainous area. The northern side of the mountainous area is relatively low and is called the Storm Plateau by the Kaldorei warriors.

The reason why it is called the Gale Plateau is because it is in the gap between two mountains. The air flow is blocked by the mountains, and the only way to reach the Salo Basin is through this plateau. Because of the terrain, the air is squeezed here, and the small wind changes.

A stroke, a stroke becomes a strong wind, a strong wind becomes a violent wind.

In addition to the windless weather, there is no wind on the plateau that does not affect the movement. Because the Kaldorei warriors were not familiar with the climate here, they almost suffered a loss from the trolls when they first arrived. Fortunately, the Alpha Regiment led by Carlos was the advance force, and

The strong strength repelled many attacks by the trolls, and under the cover of the Second Legion, they established a base here - Gale Outpost.

When the Salo Basin entered the mining boom, Gale Outpost continuously sent thousands of troll captives to the mining company. Without these thousands of troll captives, the mining company would never have gotten on track so early. Moonfury

I would never dare to launch an offensive so early.

However, the trolls were prepared earlier than the Kaldorei.

Before the logistics force had delivered the food to Zusaro, a Kaldorei assassin quickly ran into the Storm Outpost.

The Kaldorei standing guard was about to ask, but immediately saw the weapons in his hands, two black daggers.

Yes, this Kaldorei assassin is Karna Darkstalker.

"Where is Carlos?" Cana asked urgently.

"In the command room!"

The sentry quickly pointed the way.

"Thank you!"

Cana left a thank you and ran to the command room impatiently. As soon as he entered the command room, he saw Carlos studying the magic map. The second legion crossed the windy plateau and fought deep into the pine forest in the east.

A large number of reconnaissance guards have been set up in the place.

"The trolls are gathering an army." Khanna didn't have time to say hello and directly told the intelligence he collected.

Carlos raised his head and immediately looked down at the magic map, "Where is it?"

Khanna walked over, pulled out the Dark Walker's Blade, drew mountains and rivers on the table outside the magic map, and then inserted the dagger between the rivers and mountains.

"There is a troll town here. Trolls gathered here a month ago. After I noticed it, I immediately conducted a reconnaissance here. At first, it was just some small tribes. I thought it was to avoid the second legion.

But a few days ago, a tribe of tens of thousands of people appeared, all young and strong, including many berserkers and witch doctors, and even a few shadow hunters were discovered."

Carlos frowned. Both witch doctors and shadow hunters were very difficult to deal with. But he was more concerned about other enemies, "Is there a Loa?"

Compared with Loa, Witch Doctors and Shadow Hunters are not threats.

"No sign of Loa has been found yet, but there are signs of Loa. Among the trolls, I found many flying snakes. I think they should be one of Loa's dependents."

Khanna introduced these Familia, "They are so powerful that even the Shadow Hunters are afraid. According to my observations, they can spray corrosive venom, and they also have the ability to control people. If the Second Legion encounters them,

As long as they are massacred, even the Alpha Group will not be their opponent."

Controller? Carlos’ expression turned serious.

"I hope you can go to Zusaro and report this matter. I will give you a night saber so that you can get to Zusaro as quickly as possible."

Khanna accepted the mission and rode down the plateau on the night saber without stopping.

Carlos called for a messenger, "Notify all the teams of the Second Legion to return to the Gale Outpost immediately."

As soon as the messenger entered the pine forest, they saw the troops of the Second Army retreating toward the plateau. They abandoned their armor and helmets, obviously suffering a defeat.

"Were you attacked?" the ordering soldier asked in confusion.

"We encountered a large army of trolls. There are some strange snakes among them that can control our bodies and let us harm our own people. We cannot remove this magic and can only retreat first." said the soldiers of the Second Legion.

The messenger nodded, "I also brought an order from Lord Carlos, telling you to return to the Gale Outpost first."

The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. They were worried that they might be punished for retreating after defeat, and Carlos's order came just in time.

"You guys go back first, I will continue to notify others."

The messenger said goodbye to the soldiers and continued his mission. But then, he kept encountering defeated troops of the Second Army. Within two days, all the troops of the Second Army returned defeated.

The entire Second Army lost more than 200 people, which was more than the losses of the First Army of Hedashar, which exceeded the strength of a regiment.

Star Eyes, the commander of the Second Legion, was very regretful, "It was my mistake. I didn't notice that the trolls were mobilizing large forces. I didn't even notice that the trolls sent out multiple armies and attacked all the troops at the same time. Carlos

Captain, thank you for the Asunaite Eye Stone you gave us before, otherwise more people in the Second Legion would die."

Carlos waved his hand, "Now is not the time to talk about this."

When he left Alpha Fortress, Gale gave him ten Asunaite Eye Stones. After establishing the Gale Outpost, he used one himself to prevent the trolls from detouring into the rear of the Second Army and directly attacking the Gale.

Outpost.

In addition, I gave five to Star Eyes and asked them to carry one in each regiment to guard against the troll's sneak attack. The commanders of the second legion are also veterans with many years of experience. They attach great importance to intelligence, so every time they arrive,

Station everywhere and insert reconnaissance guards as soon as possible.

However, the troll attack came too suddenly and the method was too weird. The second legion could not remove the control spell, and it was even less of a match when it encountered a surprise attack.

This also shows that the trolls are determined to have a decisive battle with the Kaldorei.

If this is the case, the trolls will attack the Gale Plateau within a few days. If reinforcements do not arrive, the Gale Outpost will not be able to hold on for long. Once the outpost is lost, the road to the Salo Basin will be open. Tens of thousands

Once even hundreds of thousands of trolls enter the Salo Basin, the expeditionary force will be passive.

The troll siege of Zusaro is easy to solve, but attacking the mine is fatal. There are not only tens of thousands of troll prisoners in the mine, but also many large machines. If the trolls know how to use these large machines, Zusaro will

Can't hold on.

No, you must guard the Gale Outpost.

Just as Carlos made up his mind, the magic map started to flicker. The outermost reconnaissance guards discovered a large number of enemies. Before Carlos could confirm the number, the light spots representing the reconnaissance guards disappeared.

The trolls lifted the scouting guard, and they came prepared.

"Your Excellency, Legion Commander, I need to know how many of you are still able to fight."

Xingyan silently calculated, "There are about five hundred people who are still capable of fighting."

"Get them ready to fight!"

When Carlos walked towards the door and stepped out of the command room, the Armor of Winter appeared on his body, and he also held the Blade of Punishment and the Grasp of Ice in his hands.

"The Alpha Group assembles!"
