Menethil's Power

Chapter 33 Trolls and Elves

A philosopher once said: "To be or not to be, that is the question." This is no problem for Nalorak the Bear, who was born to fight and washed his glory with blood.Since carrying the essence of the bear god, Nalorak has understood the meaning of his life, that is, to crush all enemies who hinder the tribe, until his life comes to an end and his soul returns to the gods.

This hero-level troll is much taller than his kind. His upper body is covered with brown-black hair, and his head has been transformed into a ferocious bear head. This is the price that must be paid for carrying gods, but most of them Trolls don't care about that.The trolls under Nalorak always looked at him with deep awe, not just because of his status, but more because of the collar around Spirit Bear's neck, a necklace full of long dried ears as decorations. A collar, each ear represents the life of a lord-level elf.

The fast-running Xiong Ling stopped and looked back. The troll warriors following him also stopped immediately, looking at their leader in unison.Nalorak watched, they had left the area covered by the heavy rain, but the jungle in the distance was still silent.It seems that Zul'jin's prediction was wrong, and the elves did not intend to pursue it.Nalorak expressed regret for this, and he stroked his left rib, which was once pierced with an arrow by a Windrunner, and it still hurts until now.There was a sneer on the troll bear's head, the upcoming revenge is always so exciting.

"Go on!" Xiong Ling let out a roar that shook the mountains and forests.The trolls collectively roared and continued to run wildly. They passed through the woods, crossed the mountains, crossed the river, and wiped out all non-troll creatures encountered along the way. The soldiers pointed directly at Fengxing Village in the southwest.

·
"The situation is not good," Lilas frowned slightly, "there are a lot fewer trolls wandering nearby."

Isaacs rubbed his bare chin, "This means that our enemies have arrived, and they are gathering miscellaneous soldiers as the first wave of offensive."

Rilla's face changed, which meant that what they were going to face was not the expected stragglers, but an organized enemy. "I will transfer the private soldiers from the manor immediately," he said.

"It's not appropriate to do this," Isaacs shook his head, "Although Fengxing Manor is our final defense, it may also be attacked in the early stages of the battle, so we must have a deterrent defensive force, so that the enemy will follow our plan. The plan is to use Fengxing Village as the main direction of attack. Therefore, most of the Fengxing private soldiers and arcane puppets cannot be moved. But you must let Ms. Artoria come to Fengxing Village, and I suspect that there will be heroes at the enemy level."

Lilas expressed his understanding that Squall was used as a strategic support force in Fengxing Village's defense plan, so he could no longer be required to deal with a strong man of the same level. "What else do you need me to do?" Rillas asked subconsciously. Although the human boy in front of him was only a fraction of his age, he seemed to possess amazing wisdom. The elves were used to asking for his advice.

"Do what you should do, Commander." Isaacs said in a meaningful voice, secretly reminding himself not to overdo it, if it arouses the resentment of the wind experts, it will not be worth the loss.

After Rillas left, Isaacs's thinking still did not stop. This was also the first war he planned alone, so he had to treat it with caution.The mercenaries led by Baldridge will use four arcane puppets as the main frontal combat force. Four hundred recruits and archers and a small number of elf mages will serve as long-range firepower. Squall will be responsible for the overall support. Toria stepped up.Isaacs said that it could only be arranged to this point, and if he couldn't bear it, the only option left was to board a boat and run away.

And the little girl Partress.Although she should not be allowed to participate in the war due to emotion and reason, but in such a critical moment, all available power must be used.In the past two months, Isaacs' mental power level has been stagnant, but Partress, who has obtained the purple crystal, has reached the peak of the elite level, not to mention that she also has the signature fear materialization spell, which can be used on the battlefield. Huge power.

Suddenly there was a shrill scream outside the house, and Isaacs' face changed slightly. He rushed out, and sure enough, he saw a brilliant firework over the eastern jungle.Isaacs was a little surprised that he came so quickly, it seemed that the enemy didn't have much patience.

Fengxing Village, which was waiting for battle, began to take action.After the villagers evacuated, the village became a temporary base for mercenaries. These poor people had never lived in such a good house in their entire lives, so they were grateful to Isaacs.The Northern Frontier team had assembled in the first place, but there was still no movement in the area where the mercenaries were located. Captain Baldridge winked at Reinhardt, and the blond man immediately understood. There was a loud roar, "Assemble!"

The strongest organ in a standard warrior's body is his lungs. The powerful lung capacity gives them amazing physical strength and allows them to transform roars into combat power. Warriors who are proficient in this way can even achieve the effect of crowd fear through roars.Reinhardt's voice shocked the mercenaries, and they used it from various buildings like wasps, buzzing together in the central square, and barely stood out of the queue after a few minutes.

Baldrige was quite satisfied with this. Judging by the standards of the rabble, the gang of scum in front of him was considered elite. He raised his right hand, and the square fell silent. "Your gold coins have arrived! Target east, go forward!" The mercenaries cheered collectively, and headed out of Fengxing village in a cloud.

The mage apprentices belonging to the Fengxing family hastily activated the four arcane puppets deployed at the gate, and the four-meter-tall big guys slowly stood up, with purple rays of light emerging from the black hole sockets, and at the same time emitting a metal-like sound. There was a sound of rubbing, "The security system is turned off, and the harvesting system has been activated." These iron lumps took heavy steps, and their golden and red nails shone in the sun.

The assembly speed of Fengxing village soldiers is several times faster than that of mercenaries. After all, the quality of a single elf that has lived for hundreds of years is by no means comparable to that of mortal races.The morale of these elves has been greatly improved by the existence of the arcane puppets, and Rillas secretly breathed a sigh of relief, at least there is no need to worry that they will collapse at the first touch.

Isaacs came back in a hurry after picking up Partress from the Windrunner Manor, accompanied by the heroic Artoria.Reinhardt and three Northern Frontier soldiers immediately went up to him.Although Baldrige was appointed as the mercenary commander, he did not forget his own job, and always put Isaacs' safety on guard.

Partridge's face was a bit ugly, she seemed to recall her own experience, and looked around with slightly panicked eyes.Isaacs suddenly regretted it. No matter what abilities Paltress possessed, she was still only a ten-year-old child. What kind of mentality did he have to bring her to the battlefield? "Ms. Artoria, can you send Partress back to Windrunner Manor?" He looked at the housekeeper.

Arturia gave him a strange look, as if she couldn't understand what he was thinking.Partridge, who was the person involved, suddenly became excited, "No!" the little girl cried out, and suddenly grabbed Isaacs' hand tightly.

Isaacs had a headache, he really committed a crime, and he shouldn't have taken her out of Windrunner Manor. "Listen, Partridge, I was wrong, I shouldn't have brought you here, it's too dangerous..." His voice became weaker and weaker until it became inaudible under the little girl's gaze.

Partridge's eyes became calm and stubborn, "My abilities can help you, can't I?" The little girl's soft and weak voice made people tremble, just like before.

Isaacs nodded reluctantly.

"Then you shouldn't abandon me. You don't know how I felt when you disappeared. I don't want to experience that pain again." Partress clasped Isaacs' right hand tightly with both hands, "I am your maid, maid Shouldn't you always follow your master?"

Isaacs smiled wryly again, feeling like he was about to surrender.It seems that even if Partridge is sent back to the manor, she will run back to find herself, which will put her in a more dangerous situation. "Be obedient, I will be very heartbroken if you get hurt." He decided to make the last effort.

"But I will be even more sad if you leave me, so Brother Isaacs should wrong yourself." Partress showed a lovely smile, her teeth were slender and white. "Besides, you will definitely protect me, won't you?"

"That's how it is." Partridge's coquettishness completely made Isaacs give up his persistence, but he still told him uneasy: "Follow me, don't run around casually, and don't shoot easily, understand?"

"Ahem." Reinhardt, who was forcefully fed bo dog food by two minors, finally couldn't bear it anymore, "I'm sorry to bother you, Your Highness, but now is really not, uh, the time to 'play'." He gestured to the distance, "The trolls have already started attacking."

Isaacs pulled out his binoculars, then was taken aback by the number of trolls.Sure enough, his preparations were not overdone. It seemed that half of the wandering trolls from Quel'Thalas had arrived. "Let's go to Squall." He took Paltrace's little hand and started to run, followed by Reinhardt.

As the overall support firepower, Squall must be in the safest position and can observe the entire battlefield.The inch-headed mage was not surprised by Isaacs' arrival, he greeted lightly and continued to organize his spell-casting props.

The vanguard of the trolls has already handed over the mercenaries. They are the lowest troll warriors, most of them have no armor and are only equipped with a simple one-handed ax as a weapon.The mercenaries motivated by the gold coins blocked their offensive unsurprisingly.However, Isaacs did not feel the slightest joy, and this was just the beginning.The test that Fengxing Village is facing is also a test for him.Can he reverse history and save the doomed Fengxing Village?Isaacs felt a little empty in his heart, he didn't have much confidence.
