Although I came back seriously injured, what really made me feel pain was that Sal was still alive. After this encounter, I realized that Sal was definitely a serious threat, and his failure to be killed would only cause us to suffer endless troubles. Of course, not only that, we also killed Taresa, the human who guided Sal to grow up, and her death would only make Sal extremely hatred for me and humans... The unforgivable pain has determined that we will be eternal mortal enemies.

"Talesa!" Now that I think about that human being made me extremely angry. Once upon a time, for her to get rid of Blackmore, I would not hesitate to face him with swords in his territory. If I had known that, I would have given it to me when Blackmore gave it to me...

I felt even more depressed, but I couldn't be too angry. After all, Jaina is very guilty of not completing the task, and she has also made great sacrifices and forbearance to be able to successfully make this wave. I went to comfort Jaina. She pretended to be firm and nodded to show that she was very calm. Yes, Taleza was once the one I arranged to go to Jaina, and they also had a very deep friendship, but now...

"No matter what, she sacrificed everything for the person she loved, and she did it at the critical moment." As an outsider, Luo Ning first stated that she did not define her identity as a traitor. On the contrary, he still admired her approach. But this is not the point, and Luo Ning still wanted us to return to the topic. "We still have to focus on the present. Now the tribe has not launched much attack, and they are still trying to cause trouble for us with chemical weapons such as smoke bombs."

"How are the soldiers' casualties?"

I just came back and asked Luo Ning about the current situation.

"I asked Muladin to lead the dwarves with strong resistance to be stationed in the outer city. The others are preparing. After waiting for the enemy to advance, they will definitely dissipate the smoke, so we will go to support us at that time." Luo Ning explained his dispatch. "The tribe's poison gas smoke bombs are much less than the beginning, and now they can't affect our high inner city."

Seeing Luo Ning's tired look, I realized that he has indeed exhausted a lot of his physical strength now. Perhaps this is the intention of the tribe, not only consuming our energy, but also consuming the power of our mage. I think Luo Ning's arrangement is relatively reasonable, but if the defense of the outer city is handed over to the dwarves, it seems that we humans are very selfish. I think it is best for me to step into the front line as well, but at this moment, I found that it was very difficult for me to move. Yes, the battle just now also scarred me, and I tried to heal myself while talking. However, the initiative of another sailor couldn't help but interrupt my treatment of myself. And my body felt more and more painful.

"The tribe's navy is not as weak as we imagined. They are very powerful. Lord Garithers' fleet was late to cover the arrival of theramore. But I think he must face the tribe's main fleet now and may not be able to reach our side on time, because we found a lot of artificial waves on the way to come, which means there should be a large number of warships nearby, and only this is possible for the tribe."

"Where did the tribe come from so many warships? Is it ready to form a navy when we fight the Burning Legion?"

I almost jumped in front of the sailor and questioned him. Yes, I really didn't accept that such a result would be, but his determination made me realize that I was still ignoring something.

"It is said that the troll leader Zulkin went to the Echo Islands after the defeat of the Second War. At that time, he had formed a powerful navy to prepare to rely on the power of the ocean to create a threat to our alliance. Moreover, the tribal ships near Okaz Island also have many goblin warships. All we can rely on is the powerful tonnage and artillery of the Kurtiras warship, as well as the solid deck of the dwarf warships. Perhaps we may also defeat the huge fleet of the tribes."

When I heard this, I couldn't help but sweat. I really didn't expect this to be the case. I think that the navy, which is superior to the tribe, may be just a joke in the end. If the enemy's naval ships far exceed us, then our alliance can only carry out fixed-point defense when we fled to the two islands of Okaz and Theramona, and we also lost our maritime power. If we lose our maritime power, we will not be able to harass the tribe's coastline, and we will not be qualified to engage in a war of attrition with the tribe. Of course, if Garithers did not arrive here, we will not be able to escape here.

I became more nervous about this, and the surroundings became quieter, which means that everyone realized the seriousness of the problem. To be honest, Zulkin, as the leader of the tribe troll, has never appeared. Perhaps it was exactly what the sailor said, and I was also curious about one thing, that is, why can the tribe transfer all their races from Azeroth to Kalimdo, relying on the huge fleet they have built up.

I feel that I can't waste time anymore when I hear this. After all, Thrall's power and command ability have dropped by a certain level, because Thrall certainly wouldn't have thought that he would be almost murdered, and no one in the orcs could use teleportation techniques at all, so even if he wanted to come here, it would take several days.

That means that the plan he had prepared before would definitely be disrupted. At this time, I had to do something to make up for my disadvantages. It is impossible to fight against their army. After all, the latter is more suitable for us than the battle of hand-to-hand combat and the battle of the city, so I have to eliminate the others.

After setting this tone, I spoke again to show the status quo and how I understand and deal with it.

"Anyway, we must destroy their navy at this time, and I think their navy will definitely be more. Their previous plan is likely to be paralyzing Garithers and consuming our navy's energy, so we only sent a part of the fleet to first involve the energy of our main fleet, and then their navy's main force is eating our navy."

"It's very likely, after all, they know that our navy's movements are coming to pick us up, so they will definitely prepare this strategy."

My guess was the same as Luo Ning's understanding, but there was another reality in front of me.

"What should I do?"

"Griffons all support there, find the enemy's main naval force, cooperate with Garithers' navy to defeat it, and then come to support us. As for the current northern fortress...even if the enemy launches a general attack, we must take the lead in ensuring the safety of our main navy force, which is our greatest capital."

My words were recognized by everyone, and Flod was here to listen to my arrangements. He was preparing to set out again, and before that I explained some things to this friend.

"It is recommended to bring more air musketeers to deal with the threat of tribal bats. I think the main force of the tribe's naval should be near us. They must launch a raid on us while we are waiting for us to come and support us. Of course, it is also possible to raid our island after Garithers leaves. In any case, their main force must be completely eliminated, and it is important."

After Flod nodded, he led his griffin knight to follow up south.

After watching the last griffin knight, I was also vaguely worried about how powerful the tribe's fleet was, and whether Flod's air force could not resist? Maybe I should fight myself, but my body really couldn't support myself in doing so. I could only choose to heal myself as soon as possible to recover. At the same time, I was also sighing about our current situation. There was not even a powerful paladin or priest around me. If Mavi was here, maybe I could continue flying and fighting with Flod now. Of course, as the elder Mavi must have a lot of help to us, such as intelligence and analysis of the battle situation, but...

Just as I was thinking about these things, Jaina observed something strange and reported the situation.

"We must be prepared to deal with Alsace, and the tribe has launched a full charge at us!"

Hearing this, he was surprised at first, then suddenly jumped up, left the command post and walked quickly towards the rooftop, which was on the platform at the highest point of the castle. Looking around, with the stop of venting the tribe poisonous smoke bombs, it was replaced by ordinary smoke bombs and the enemy's advance movement, which was enough to prove that they did launch a general attack.

"Go and support Muladin, all the artillery fire attacks orcs within range!" I ordered, and soon the messengers arranged for them. I also wanted to adjust the platform and turn it into a dragon, but soon my reason told me that this was unrealistic, because I just walked over and felt that my current situation could no longer turn me into a dragon and fight.

But to be honest, I am not too bad now, because this may reflect a problem with the tribe, that is, their command is out of touch, or the tribe mistakenly thinks that Thrall is dead, and they have lost the fatal method of fighting against the fortress, so we have to engage in a fortress defense battle.

But this is only a favorable side, and what is not good for us is the number of tribes. Seeing the quadron of the enemy and endless soldiers, I realized that this war is not as simple as I thought, and we lack air force now, while the opposite is that the tribe is not like this. They still have a huge number of bat knights and some dragon knights. More importantly, Thrall has a high prestige in their tribe, and Thrall's death will definitely allow them to form a powerful mourning soldier.

Almost everyone went to their respective posts to fight the tribe's charge, only Jaina was still on the rooftop, and she helped me back to the lounge of the command post. At the beginning of the war, she was ready to deal with Thrall. Maybe she could go to fight against the orcs with Ronin now, but she still wanted to say something to me, and I was the same.

"Gianna, we seriously underestimated the tribe at the beginning. I didn't expect that they were so powerful, maybe not just their navy and air force, but the army might be stronger than we thought."

I said with some regret, and Jaina just shook her head for my attitude.

"But we did not do anything wrong. The tribe is indeed stronger than we thought. But the process of war is enough to show that they had planned their combat deployment for us at the beginning, and even if we could last for a few years of peace, they would definitely be stronger. At that time, our alliance will encounter a more terrifying tribe. Instead of fighting at that time, it would be better to solve it now. It's just that I didn't kill Thrall, but Taresa, so Thrall will definitely break with us because of her death, that is, we should not repay any fantasy of peace in any way."

"You are right. We all have to do our best!" I said this. At this time, a violent explosion occurred near the location nearby, that is, several long-range artillery fire near our platform. Through the window, you can see that it was the explosion caused by the suicide attack of the tribe's bat knight. Yes, when the construction of the Northern Fortress was started, the protection of the Air Force was almost not considered, which now seems to be a huge mistake.

"Gianna, you go to support the front line first. If our batteries are destroyed by their suicide attacks, you must rely on your and Ronin's spells."

"I know, I'll go to the outer city now, and we can't be missing from the front line."

"I'll find you soon."

As I said that, I continued to speed up the healing of myself. Since there were no powerful priests and paladins, I could only try my best to come by myself. Similarly, Jaina arrived at Muladin and used spells to cooperate with the dwarves and the humans who supported me to deal with the impact of the tribe on the outer city.

The battlefield was full of fire, and the afternoon sun was already red by the war and smoke. The tribes charged us with ladders, as well as their catapults, as well as high-profile rushes and counter-buildings, etc., and there were many giant catapults with long levers, bombarding our castle at will. Although the catapults with long levers were very poor in efficiency and sight, their range was indeed very good.

However, these threats to us are really nothing. What really threatens us are the enemy's suicide bat knights. They can approach us at close range with smoke bombs and launch a raid. Moreover, our turrets often do not have air defense devices. Soon after the tribe charge, nearly half of the turrets, crossbow turrets, and artillery positions were destroyed. Even if they were not destroyed, nearly half of the artillery remained unusable. Not only that, the bat knights of the tribe still launched attacks. The result is that more long-range artillery fire cannot be used...

The tribe took advantage of the opportunity that our long-range artillery fire was constantly weakening and advanced to us. After resisting our artillery attack, they also set up catapults within the range of their catapults attack, and kept firing artillery at us and smashing towards our outer city.

When Jaina arrived, she had already handed over the fire. As the enemy's main castle carts were mounted one by one, and our cannons were destroyed by the suicide attacks of the Bat Knights, the situation became worse and worse. Jaina also found Muladin hiding in the cover in this place full of artillery bombardment. He was not very happy with Jaina and the reinforcements. Because he thought he was getting the order to retreat.

"The outer city is not easy to defend, the enemy's firepower is too strong. Maybe we should give up the outer city and return to the inner city stationed on the cliff."

Jaina shook her head and did not agree with this view.

"Most of our artillery have been destroyed and we cannot suppress the enemy's impact at all. Now they have put the artillery fire in the range here. If they want to counterattack the enemy, they must defend this place to buy time for the repair of our artillery positions."

"That is to say that when the enemy's artillery fire dissipates and sieges, we still have to defend against the city walls here, right?"

"Yes, if we fail here, we have to take it back, otherwise we will not be able to transfer the people above our fortress on a large scale, and there will be no possibility of escaping the northern fortress."

Jaina's words made Muladin helpless, but he had no choice, because as the commander, he understood what this kind of support meant, that is, people around him, and he might die here. And at this moment, Muladin thought of something.

"Where is Flod? Why didn't his air force attack the enemy?" Muladin said seriously. The dwarf who spoke casually like this had long since disappeared from the tone he used to be. That was why he knew very well that the current situation was already very nervous.

"He went to support Garithers, and the enemy's navy was not as weak as we thought, so to ensure we could defeat the enemy, Flod went there."

"Have our navy encountered a situation that was more difficult than us?" Muladin said in a disdainful tone, but looking at Jaina's reluctant face, he himself was even more shocked and nervous. "What? Our navy also encountered difficulties."

Muladin couldn't believe it when he heard this. He knew what this meant. After all, without a navy, it would mean that we had no way out, let alone no way out. On land, our current alliance is not the opponent of the tribe at all. So we can only rely on the navy to fight for an advantage, but the facts are very cruel now. Even the main force of the navy we are proud of is not the opponent of the enemy. This is a fact that we dare not accept.

"Well, if you think it's necessary to fight with orcs here, come on, but you shouldn't be here. This is not a place where the mage should stay."

"Maybe it shouldn't be, but I have to replace Alsace here, but he's injured now..."

"No need. This is not the first time we have been through life and death like this. You don't have to stand at the forefront. I was raised by him, and I never regarded him as an outsider."

Muladin said calmly, knowing that he could no longer ask for anything. For the sake of collective interests, their dwarves must pay this, otherwise everyone will die. Jaina obviously does not recognize this calmness.

"Then I'll go back and prepare. I promise to release a powerful magic before you fall to change the current situation and save you."

At this moment, Muladin seemed to have thought of something important to explain.

"By the way, I asked Ronin to tell my brother about the possible war with the tribe. He may be on the way now leading the Iron Fort Navy to support him. Although our warships are not as good as your Kurtiras, they can also contribute some strength to our alliance."

"Thank you, my old friend, for your dwarves' contribution to our alliance."

"If I die, tell my brother to avenge me!"

"I promise you that I will definitely get you back before that! I promise."

Jaina said and left. She just left a clone here, and there were also some water elements left to cooperate with reinforcements and dwarves to fight against the tribe siege army that had already arrived at the city...

On the other hand, at a high point of the fortress, or an abandoned artillery tower that was destroyed by the bat knight, Jaina teleported herself there, and here Ronin has also begun to prepare to release his power. Ronin was not surprised by Jaina's appearance, because he knew that they were all the same, that is, at a suitable time to release a powerful force to all the orc charge troops in front of him suffered a devastating blow. However, compared to the flame magic that Ronin had already begun to accumulate energy, the frost magic released by Jaina. And both of them needed time and an opportunity, that is, when all the outer city was about to be captured and the tribe soldiers unconsciously gathered to the outer city. As for Muladin's life, Jaina knew that someone would care very much, and that was the existence Muladin trusted most...

I... watched everything happen at the highest level of this fortress, and knew that the soldiers who supported the outer city and the dwarves stationed below would be of great danger, but I had no choice but to win this war, because the navy has not lived or died yet, so I had to do everything I could to defeat the seemingly invincible tribal army. Because only in this way can I guarantee that the soldiers and civilians who are trapped here will be spared, but I also knew that Muladin and Jaina were defending in the outer city, and I also tried my best to let her die here even if I tried my best, and I would never! With this belief,

My body is also accelerating recovery in a special way, although this recovery speed may cause greater trauma to me in the future...
