Chapter 368

However, in Ye Ting's view, this was their stupidest decision.

You must know that Ye Ting's ultimate goal is to encircle and suppress all the trolls, so that they will disappear from the jungle of Zu'Aman forever and never become a threat to the alliance.

His worry was never how to beat the trolls, but how to keep any of them free.

He has always understood the principle that the grass is not eradicated, and the spring breeze blows. For races such as humans, orcs, and trolls, which can reproduce in large numbers and rapidly, only killing them can completely eliminate the threat.

But now, the troll actually gathered all his people together, which saved him a lot of energy to search the jungle thoroughly.

What's more, the trolls abandoned their own advantages and fought a head-to-head battle with the alliance, which was almost like taking advantage of their own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths.

This made Ye Ting almost laugh out loud.

In this way, under the conservative strategy of the trolls, the army of the Alliance advanced all the way in the Zul'Aman Forest, and successfully hit their capital, the ruins of the troll city Zul'Aman.

This huge city remains the capital of the glorious Amani troll empire thousands of years ago. However, after the troll empire was destroyed by the combined forces of humans and high elves, the capital of the empire gradually declined. The remaining Amani trolls live in the city's ruins, but have not given up on their ambitions to revive the troll empire.

Now, however, they will be here, facing an attack from the Alliance.

Today, the supreme rulers of the Amani trolls are the sorcerer lord Malakas, the warlord Dakara, the shaman Ekilson and others. They are actively organizing all the trolls with the ability to fight, and will The old and weak, women and children are sent to the rear, in short, everything is to defend Zu'Aman.

As for the alliance, under Ye Ting's order, they did not take the initiative to attack.

All the laborers, militiamen, and even the infantry of the Alliance were given the same order by Ye Ting, that is - to chop down trees.

Yes, until now, what Ye Ting feared the most about trolls was their forest fighting ability - armies of humans and elves couldn't take up positions in a forest full of trees, so in the forest, even a frontal In combat, the alliance's army will inevitably fall into melee.

Although it is impossible for the Alliance to lose to these Amani trolls even in a melee due to the superiority of its troops, certain casualties are indeed inevitable.

In order to further expand the alliance's advantages, Ye Ting could only resort to this.

That is to artificially create an alliance's advantageous battlefield.

As long as a large enough open space is created around the ruins of Zul'Aman, the Amani trolls cannot use the forest to forcibly enter into a melee with the Alliance, and they have to face a well-structured and tight alliance army. These savage warriors will never be the opponents of the Alliance by virtue of their stragglers. In the end, Ye Ting will wipe them out at the least cost.

The laborers, militiamen, and infantrymen strictly followed the commander's orders, and soon the ruins of Zul'Aman were turned into a large lumbering field.

A large number of trees are cut down and concentrated, where carpenters will convert the wood into fences, horses and other defensive items used against trolls.

High elf rangers, elven legions, and the most elite human warriors were not involved in the logging work, and these most elite soldiers acted as the defense force of the logging camp, ready to deal with the trolls' onslaught.

The Griffon Knights patrolled the air to detect the movements of the trolls in the city. Once the other side showed signs of gathering troops and surrendering to the loggers, they would issue a warning, and the Alliance would respond immediately.

When the logging operation just started, the trolls took them as a joke, mocking them for being too afraid of the troll's power to make such a stupid move. They were convinced that such an operation would wear away the patience of the enemy in a short period of time.

However, after a few days, they realized that something was wrong.

These humans and elves were not out of fear or whim, they were serious.

They really wanted to keep the trolls in the ruins of Zul'Aman by cutting down trees to create a barrier.

As a result, the panicked Amani trolls organized several waves of sneak attacks, delusional to disrupt the enemy's plan and make them give up logging.

However, the Griffin Knights in the air were keenly aware of the trolls' movements and reported it to the Alliance commander.

Immediately afterwards, these attackers were met with firm counterattacks from the High Elf Legion.

In legion-level confrontations, trolls have never been the opponents of high elves, and this time is no surprise.

As such, they failed, and each attack was repulsed mercilessly.

In desperation, they have only two choices. Either hide in the ruins and let the other side create an isolation zone. In the end, they can only rely on the ruins to fight the other side to the death.

Or, they must come out in full force and fight the enemy to the death before the isolation zone is fully established.

There has been a heated debate among Amani troll executives over which of the two strategies to implement.

Led by Overseer Dakara, the Berserker leader Nalorak, the most powerful hunter Harraz, and the headhunter leader Jayale believe that it is time to fight quickly and use the talent of the Amani trolls in the forest. Inflict a fatal blow to the enemy.

However, the witchcraft lord Malakas, the shaman Ekirsson and others believe that the best countermeasure is to rely on the city ruins for defense. Their biggest reason is that through the altar in the city ruins, they can maximize the The power of the loa, they believe that the existence of the loa is the Amani

Troll's trump card.

In the end, this debate about tactics was finally won by the shaman Ekilson, the witch lord Malakas, who represented the faith.

It's no wonder that, in most cases, the highest-ranking troll society is still the witch doctor and the shaman. This superstitious race can even use their own kin to perform bloody sacrifices for their faith, which shows their fanaticism.

And this time, the side representing the faith overwhelmed the side representing the secular power.

So, it took another week or so, with the help of magic, the Alliance successfully established a clearing as a barrier around the ruins of Zul'Aman.

The existence of the isolation belt makes the trolls lose their advantage, and their combat effectiveness is reduced to a minimum.

In the cities of Zul'Aman, however, the trolls have also built a newfound confidence.

In the face of the siege and suppression of the alliance, the Amani trolls, who were exhausted, gained new power from the god Loa.

It is different from the gift of God Loa in the past, it is an unprecedented powerful force.

In this case, war is imminent.

Chapter 0484 attack in the rain

In the jungle, the weather can change.

Shortly after the Alliance completed the logging work and established the isolation zone, the originally clear sky suddenly changed, and it soon began to rain heavily.

In the continuous rain, the soldiers of the alliance had to answer their own camp and postponed the plan of attack.

Although there is no gunpowder weapon, for the alliance army, wet rain is still a big enemy. It will not only wet the armor and clothing, hinder the movement of the warriors, but also affect the tightness of the bowstrings of the rangers, making the bow The lethality of the crossbow is greatly reduced. Not to mention the Griffin Knights, for whom flying in the rain is definitely asking for trouble.

In the face of such weather, even Ye Ting had no good solution. Although magic could temporarily change the weather, it couldn't last, so he had no choice but to hold his nose and admit that he was unlucky.

Luckily, they built a barrier and moved their camp here, and if it was in the forest, the rain would be twice as troublesome.

However, out of prudence, under his orders, the Alliance stepped up patrols, and the rangers were mobilized to replace the role of the Griffon Knights as much as possible to monitor the movements of the Amani trolls in Zul'Aman City.

As expected by Ye Ting, the trolls did not intend to miss this opportunity.

Compared with the Alliance, the trolls who have adapted to life in the forest are less affected by the rain. They basically don’t wear too much clothing, and only use animal skins as a ratio. They don’t wear heavy armor, and only tie a few pieces to the vital parts. Wooden armor; it is also not suitable for long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, and only uses short-range throwing objects such as spears and throwing axes.

Therefore, the presence of rain will basically not affect their combat effectiveness.

In addition, the rain has another effect, which is to make one of the troll's archenemy: fire magic lose its effect.

As the saying goes, the Amani trolls living in the forest are not developed in smelting technology, and wood is the main material for them to make armor, weapons and equipment.

The inexhaustible wood in the forest made them not have to worry about the material at all, but at the same time, it also made the flame magic of the high elves a pain in their hearts forever.

Not to mention, the presence of the fire element can overwhelm the troll's talent - powerful regeneration.
