Tales of the Highborne
Chapter 73 Dryad Sisters
The elves' army retreated quickly, and the fast-moving demons pursued them all the way. A group of blocking demons also appeared in the south, forcing the elves to retreat to the west. In the end, the top management decided to cross the Raging River and retreat to the Ashen Valley before making plans. The night elves were very suitable for fighting in the forest. The tall trees in Ashvale can be called natural defense.
But the demons also move very quickly, and large groups of demons are always chasing. The elven archers played a huge advantage in the Ashen Valley, using trees and complex terrain to fight and retreat, causing the demons to suffer heavy losses. But half a month later, the elves were still forced to retreat to the vicinity of Falling Star Lake.
This was once the base of the night elves during the Troll War, and it was here that the night elves made their first great victory. Having laid the foundation for the subsequent destruction of the Troll Empire, Moon Shadow began to miss the Kaldorei's powerful mage army. With that army, the demon's human sea tactics could no longer suppress them. It's a pity that that army only belongs to the upper-level elves, and now it has even become the opposite. The devil keeps chasing them, and they have to retreat.
But now there are two routes, one is to retreat north through Felwood and Winterspring Valley to Mount Hyjal. The other option is to continue retreating westward to the Black Sea Coast. The walls of Moon Shadow City are very strong, and for a large city, the physical defense of the walls alone is much stronger than that of Black Crow Castle. In addition, Moon Shadow City has been improved many times over the past thousand years, giving Moon Shadow City a powerful magic barrier. This made the spirits think that withdrawing from Moon Shadow City was the best choice. In fact, Yue Shadow himself did not want this. People are selfish and Moon Shadow City was his foundation. There are still a large number of non-combat personnel in the city, and retreating to Moon Shadow City will undoubtedly bring the war there.
But he couldn't deny that retreating to Moonshadow City was far safer than Hyjal Yam. In the end, they unanimously agreed to withdraw the army to Moon Shadow City. After many battles, the resistance army of 300,000 was greatly reduced and only less than 200,000 were left. However, these soldiers have all been baptized by the fire of war. Those who survived are all the elites among the elites, and their combat effectiveness far exceeds that of ordinary soldiers.
There are two things that must be done before retreating. One is to notify Astrana on the westward route to let them evacuate early. The other thing is to inform the dryad sisters next to Ye Dao Valley. After all, they are all descendants of Cenarius and Lilith and Alice seem to be in Ashen Valley.
The person sent to inform the dryad sisters was Malfurion. He was Cenarius's proud disciple and was more eloquent when he went there. Malfurion returned three days later, but he also brought the dryad sisters, who were ready to cooperate with the elven army in order to defend their forest. Moon Shadow rushed to greet his new allies, and soon he found sisters Alice and Lilith among the dryad sisters. Yueying has always regarded Lilith as his sister, and the first face he saw in his memory was this naughty tree demon. The leader of the dryads was their eldest sister Halania. The one in the top hat of Yueying greeted her and then looked at Lilith with a smile.
Lilith pouted and turned her head to look away, as if pretending not to recognize Yueying. Yueying couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said to herself: "Female creatures really hold grudges, it's been almost a thousand years." She thought this in her heart, but she still managed to squeeze out a smile on her face, and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Lilith."
"Who are you? I don't know any bastard who left without saying goodbye. You got the wrong person. I'm not the tree demon you're looking for." Lilith wrinkled her nose and continued to ignore Yue Ying, which made Yue Ying feel embarrassed. . Illidan and Tyrande couldn't help but laugh.
"Guess who I am, there will be a reward." Two small hands suddenly covered Yueying's eyes, with a joking tone in his voice.
"Alice, can you let go of my eyes now?" Yueying didn't even have to guess, she was the only one of the women around her who dared to do this. Although all dryads are very active, Alice is indeed the most active dryad Yueying has ever seen. My body is always full of sunshine and vitality.
"Oh, I figured it out so quickly." Alice let go of Yueying's eyes and burst into joy. "I want to give you a reward." As she said this, she grabbed Yueying's face and kissed him gently on the forehead. By the way, she touched Yueying's ears. By the way, Yueying said, "It feels so good." Yueying couldn't help but blush, and the elves around him couldn't help but be stunned. You must know that touching the ears among elves is a sign of courtship. All the spirits can't help but be in reverie.
"It's so lively, why don't you introduce me to the leader?" Maiev appeared next to Yueying with a smile. Yueying couldn't help but feel a chill in her vest, and a dagger touched her back. This seems to mean that if you don't give me an explanation, I will give you a break. Some time ago, Maiev was assigned to the logistics supply team by Yueying and has been responsible for logistics. This is a relatively important position, and of course the main thing is that it is less risky.
"This is Lilith, I told you." Yueying pointed at Lilith and introduced to Maiev.
"You are the sister that Yueying has always said. I am Maiev. Shadowsong is really honored to meet you." Maiev politely went up to greet Lilith.
"Oh, he really keeps mentioning me." After listening to Maiev's words, Lilith's face obviously showed a hint of joy. The two soon started talking and laughing, as if they were old friends who had known each other for thousands of years. Alice stood next to the two of them and seemed to want to join in their conversation, but they were both talking about Moon Shadow.
Ben couldn't get a word in.
"Are you Yueying's spouse?" Alice looked at Maiev and asked curiously. As soon as these words came out, Yueying and Maiev immediately blushed. Illidan looked at Yueying with a playful expression on his face.
"This..." Maiev was furious and didn't know how to explain it.
"Isn't that right? I happened to not find the stag, so I will capture him and let her stay with me." Alice squeezed her fists and said excitedly. "Oh, why are you hitting me?" Lilith was speechless and gave him a shudder. Alice covered her head and looked at Lilith angrily.
"Stop messing around." Halania also knocked on Alice's head, with love in her eyes. Alice is the youngest of all the dryads and is very loved by the other sisters.
In the big tent, Ravencrest was discussing some matters with some other elven lords.
"Perhaps we wasted a good opportunity. We should not have retreated at that time. With Cenarius's restraint, we should have rushed into Aesaleen in one go. In that case, we might have won." Star Eyes took out a handful from his pocket. Powder, inhale it with one nostril. He is the lord of a tribe of elves.
"Maybe, Desdale. Let the past be bygones." Ravencrest shook his head.
The two Elf officers and the other lords stood one after another in the camp, discussing the course of action to stop the rout and retreat. Star Eyes believed that Yueying's decision was wrong. When the enemy was unable to resist and was defeated across the board, the elf army should not retreat.
"The soldiers are fighting to the death," responded one of the senior officials, who was the one who recommended Moon Shadow as the leader of the resistance. "But after all, they are all flesh and blood, and they are very tired. It is necessary to take a rest like this. And Cenarius may not be able to win the demon named Archimonde."
"That's true," said the Lord of Black Crow Castle. He very much agreed with the high-ranking officer's point of view. "Soldiers, please stop to eat something and have a good sleep. There is no need to argue about this issue. Next, we will wait for the leader to come. Discuss what to do next."
"Of course we are going to kill Azshara," Star Eyes said sharply, "We must save Queen Azshara."
The other elven lords also echoed, Krasus frowned and said nothing. He had discussed this issue with them before coming, and all the elves believed that their queen was imprisoned by the devil. Furthermore, Aissalin City is also the entrance for the Burning Legion to enter the continent of Kalimdor, so discussing changing the march route is purely a waste of words. No matter what, the capital must be recaptured.
From time to time Yueying entered the military tent, followed by Crassus and others. Yueying sat on the main seat, and they stood on both sides of Yueying.
"Master Leader, I don't know how many people from the Dryad came to help." Ravencrest was quite concerned about this matter.
"The total is less than two hundred." Malfurion answered for Yueying.
"What's the use of so little." A lord couldn't help but sigh.
"These tree demons are very familiar with the forest and will be of great help to us whether we retreat or attack." Yueying explained lightly.
"Actually, you should consider my proposal. Since dryads can help us, why not other races?" Karasus looked at Yueying and said.
"You are asking for help from the dwarves and other races." At the mention of this, all the elves couldn't help but have sarcastic expressions on their faces.
"At this moment, the dwarves, tauren and other races must be fighting bloody battles with the Burning Legion. Although there is a glimmer of hope of winning if they act separately, if all races are united, capturing Aissalin will naturally mean ri It’s treatable, and it can save countless lives.” Crassus insisted.
Ravencrest frowned and said, "Master Krasus, thank you for your advice for us. The leader and I discussed this matter in Suramar. You are not us, so you don't understand the most important things. Basic facts. Even if we were hot-headed and made the decision to ask for aid from the dwarves and tauren, do you really believe that they would come to our aid? They don't trust us, just like we don't trust them. So, even if they join Without our team, do you think we can fight side by side?"
"The dwarves are likely to turn against us," Star Eyes interjected. "Their greed has been proven before. They will only come to snatch our things and then escape back to their caves."
Another officer also said: "In addition to dealing with foreign tribes, those tauren also like to fight with each other. They are simple-minded and are completely a group of beasts. Their chaotic state may also affect our troops. If such chaos is added to the chaos, it will be difficult for them to face the enemy." Against the demon army, we really have no chance of victory."
Ask for collection, ask for recommendation.
