As defenders of the city, the dwarves fought one against ten, and the orcs suffered heavy casualties.Seeing this scene, Doomhammer had no choice but to withdraw.

After all, Ironforge wasn't his main target, and he didn't have to spend a lot of troops here.Now that Khaz Modan and the rich mineral resources are owned by him, the basic purpose of the warchief has been achieved.

In fact, the orc army did not spare Gnomeregan, but fortunately failed.

Gnomes are intelligent and guard their homeland with advanced science and technology.

They planted dark mines in the forests and mountains around Gnomeregan, and a large number of orcs died in confusion without even seeing the main city of the gnomes.

Gnomeregan also has an indestructible steel gate.After weeks of bombardment with siege vehicles, Doomhammer ordered a retreat.When the battle in Ironforge was over, he ordered the Blood Ring clan to control the gnomes in the city, with no intention of continuing to attack the main city.Gnomeregan thus escaped the wrath of the Horde.

On Lothar's side, after learning that the dwarves and gnomes had successfully defended against the attack of the orcs, they finally gave up their plans to rashly support them, and honestly waited for the troops of various countries to gather before considering a fight with the orcs.

However, the encounter between dwarves and gnomes is not without impact on the Alliance.

The orcs captured Khaz Modan so quickly, once again proving their power to the world, and further aggravating the panic on the alliance side. The rulers of various countries all seized the time to integrate their forces in order to establish a coalition as soon as possible. The Orc's front is blocked from the country.

At the same time, in Stratholme, Archbishop Fao also accelerated the training of the first six Paladins. He plans to recruit the second batch of qualified priests and warriors as the Silver Hand immediately after the achievements of several Paladins. Recruits, train with several first-generation Paladins—of course, according to the agreement, some of these recruits will include members from the high elves.

According to the current situation, although the alliance and the Horde are gradually drawing their swords, there is still a period of time before the real Second Orc War begins. The Orcs need enough time to save food and grass, and at the same time mine minerals and forge weapons in Khaz Modan— - The failure to capture Ironforge made this process much longer.

The Alliance also needs time to train the Paladins and gather and reorganize the troops of various countries.

According to Ye Ting's prediction, this process will last for about half a year.

For Ye Ting, this half year was not a lot of free time, and he also arranged tasks for himself.

That is, to find a way to eliminate the potential allies of the orcs in Lordaeron, the hidden threat here.

There are two threats, one is the orc Frostwolf tribe that has escaped into the Alterac Mountains, and the other is the Amani troll living in the Zul'Aman jungle.

The former is a dissident among the orcs. He holds a different philosophy from other orcs who are controlled by fel energy, so he hides in the mountains of Alterac, and it is impossible to help the tribe in a short time.

And the latter is the enemy in Ye Ting's eyes.

In the original history, Orgrim did contact these trolls, and the similar tribal culture and the same enemies made them hit it off.Orgrim even later rescued the leader of the Amani trolls, Zul'jin, from a prisoner of war camp near Hillsbrad Foothills.

The trolls of Zul'Aman joined the Horde and brought great trouble to the Alliance. Trolls who were familiar with the terrain led the way. Orcs were often able to raid the rear of the Alliance, and even caused huge chaos in Quel'Thalas. The family members of the three sisters suffered heavy casualties in this war.

Now, of course Ye Ting had to take precautions before it happened.

Of course, he wasn't thinking about killing Zul'jin in a prisoner-of-war camp—even though the troll leader had a huge reputation among the Amani trolls.

Although the prisoner of war camp where Zul'jin was held was within the human kingdom, it belonged to Quel'Thalas, which is also a rare cooperation between humans and high elves - they have always been in the same position on trolls.

As the leader of the Zul'Aman trolls, Zul'jin's hands are covered with the blood of the high elves, which can be regarded as the death vengeance of the high elves. However, due to strategic considerations, the high elves have not executed him after capturing him. , but let him live in a prisoner of war camp to contain the Amani trolls.

Although Quel'Thalas is far more powerful than the Amani trolls today, due to the slow reproduction rate, it is almost impossible for Quel'Thalas to attack Zul'Aman at the cost of huge casualties. After all, trolls reproduce faster than high elves. Much sooner.And if they can keep Zul'jin alive, the Amani trolls will be in chaos for a long time, and the dispute over redeeming the leader, rescuing the leader or fighting for it has divided the entire Amani troll. Quel' Sara It can make them weak for a long time.

Conversely, if Zul'jin is killed, the Amani trolls who have lost their leader are likely to re-elect a new leader and then unite under the banner of revenge for Zul'jin, so that Quel'Shara It is possible that he could be drawn into a new war, which is not in the interests of the high elves.

In Ye Ting's view, if there were no orcs, the strategies of the high elves would indeed be wise. After all, the powerful reproduction ability of trolls made them like rice, which would grow again in the coming year.

Anyone familiar with biology knows that the curve of species reproduction is related to the capacity of the environment. When the number of species is scarce, the growth rate will be greatly increased - because the environment is large enough to accommodate more numbers.But when the number of species is too high, the rate of reproduction will gradually decrease to zero, because the environment is not enough to accommodate such a large population.

The same goes for Amani trolls.No matter how much the high elves slaughter the Amani trolls in the ancestral Aman jungle, their population will recover quickly, but the high elves themselves cannot afford to consume them - the specific reasons refer to the Vietnam War in the Lighthouse Country.

However, the trolls in the Zul'Aman jungle are limited. When the high elves let them not clear them and weaken them in other ways, the number of trolls will no longer increase after reaching the limit, and generally speaking, it will not affect the elves. what trouble.

But now, the presence of the orcs has made the high elves shoot themselves in the foot, and they haven't found it yet.

Chapter 0469 Combine Vertical and Horizontal: Lordaeron

In fact, Ye Ting's strategy is very simple.

The fundamental reason why the high elves did not hesitate to let Zul'jin, the great enemy, live was that they had no way to completely wipe out the Zu-Aman jungle and eradicate the trolls.

Even in the modern society of the earth that develops science, jungle warfare is a huge trouble for a powerful country with advanced technology, and in World of Warcraft, it is also true for elves.

The dense jungle can greatly narrow the gap in the quality of individual soldiers between trolls and elves. The rangers of high elves are like a drop in the bucket when facing a large number of trolls. What's worse, the number of high elves makes it impossible for them to thoroughly check The entire Zul'Aman jungle, this gave the troll tribes hidden in the jungle a chance to survive and finally rejuvenate (casually burn the forest on a large scale, causing huge damage, and there will be dragons looking for trouble).

However, this is not an insoluble trouble.

Although the high elves are few in number, they cannot completely fill the pit of jungle warfare, but some people can.

That is humans and dwarves.

In fact, trolls have a feud not only with high elves, but also with humans and dwarves.

Needless to say, humans, thousands of years ago, the destruction of the Amani troll empire was due to the combined forces of humans and high elves.

As for dwarves, the Bronzebeards and Dark Irons are far away from the troll habitat, but the Wildhammer dwarves living in the Hinterlands are not. They are also neighbors of the Amani trolls and often conflict with the trolls.

In the past of peaceful times, humans, high elves, and Wildhammer dwarves, despite their civil connections, never considered joining forces to wipe out the Amani trolls.

But now is different.

The emergence of the Horde is not only an opportunity for the revival of the Amani trolls, but also an opportunity for the union of humans, high elves and Wildhammer dwarves.

Because of the orcs, the high elves have now confirmed that they will join the alliance.

Although the Wildhammer dwarves and the Bronzebeard dwarves have long been separated, the dwarves have broken bones and connected tendons after all. How can they let the Bronzebeard dwarves be slaughtered by the orcs?In this respect, dwarves are much more united than humans, so Ye Ting can be sure that Wildhammer dwarves can easily be persuaded to join the alliance.

Under such circumstances, it is not impossible for the three to jointly eliminate the Amani trolls. On the one hand, the trolls are indeed the common enemy of the three and the potential ally of the orcs; on the other hand, the human nations also need to do something to impress them. High elves, so that they can see more benefits brought to them by the alliance, not just because the situation forced them to join the alliance.

However, how to do this requires someone to match up with each other.

All Ye Ting has to do is such a job.
