When Anne was rushing back to the Lordaeron continent, on the Tarenmere front in the middle of the Hillsbrad hills, the main force of the Fire Alliance was confronting the coalition forces of the Stormwind City Alliance here. Their battle has lasted almost a year from the end of the 25th year of the Dark Gate to the present...

Although ground battles have been the humans of the Fire Alliance for this period of time, the High Elves and the Wild Hammer Dwarfs on the side of the Eagle Nest Mountain are at a passive defensive disadvantage... However, with the High Elves' Dragon Eagle Knights, the Wild Hammer Dwarfs' Griffon Knights and the Pure Blood Fire Eagle troops stranded here in the Flame Kingdom, they have barely been able to hold the front stalemate and gain valuable time for the adjustments and recruitment of new troops in the rear!

However, early this morning, when the soldiers of the Fire Alliance were preparing to change their guards and continued to stalemate with the enemy troops below the high ground or curse each other, fired arrows or threw huge rocks, they were surprised to find that new faces appeared in the other party's camp?

With the rangers' close-up investigations, they soon confirmed that a large number of reinforcements appeared in the enemy's camp!

They were some demonic monsters with twisted horns on their heads, blue skin, bull hooves like taurens and evil tails! But what surprised the troops of the Fire Alliance was that that kind of monster was a warrior who could use the energy of the Holy Light?

No... it should be said... a lot of paladins and priests?

Of course, there is definitely the tangram-like monster floating in the air that is emitting powerful holy light energy, and the golden light shining on the battle lines between the enemy and us!

It is precisely because of its appearance that the morale of the army, which has always been very tenacious and tenacious, has finally shook.

Because, like the golden tangram, the creature that slightly rotates and scatters the golden holy light, the pure sacred power, actually claimed to be the messenger or god representing the holy light?

Therefore, while comforting all the warriors on both sides of the enemy and us, the other party continued to tempt the defense, the new Lordaeron Kingdom in the Flame Alliance, the high elves and the Silver Hand Knights among the Wild Hammer Dwarfs, hoping that those believers of the Holy Light can put down their weapons, convert to the arms of the Holy Light, and stop making fearless resistance, etc.

Anyway, no matter whether the other party says that he is the God of Holy Light, the pure to unparalleled powerful power of the other party will definitely not deceive the Paladins!

Therefore, this caused the fighting spirit and morale of the Paladins of the Flame Alliance, at least, the Paladins of the Silver Hand and the Warriors who believe in the Holy Light to gradually decline... Because they really couldn't raise the courage and strength to fight against a sacred existence that could represent the Holy Light!

What's worse is that some paladins with less firm will, when their faith was in crisis, the power of the holy light in their bodies was constantly sliding down? It seems that it was really like the holy light abandoning them?

So, even greater panic began to spread in the front on the Fire Alliance...

"General! Let's retreat!"

"Now, this battle is really impossible to fight! Look, so far, our Silver Hand Knights have basically lost their combat power... Without Silver Hand as a powerful forward, the other troops alone, both the dwarves and mages of the high elves, cannot resist the enemy!"

"And you also saw that there were so many priests and paladins in their reinforcements, even more and stronger than our Silver Hands. How do you want us to fight this battle?!"

Here is the commanding tent in the middle of the Tarenmere front barracks, the commander-in-chief of the Silver Hand of the New Lordaeron Kingdom, the Great Crusader Sydan Dassorhan, was exhorting loudly to the Grand Marshal Osmar Gallithers, who was sitting in his main seat and musingly, saying:

"Master Marshal! Let's retreat quickly before the enemy launched an attack! That monster is too weird. If we wait... Maybe our paladins will all become ordinary knights! Without the holy light, they will probably have to drop at least one or two levels of strength! In that case, what else can we use to fight?"

"You won't expect our air force, right? That's right! They are indeed unrivaled in the air. They defeated the Stormwind Alliance's Horned Eagle beasts and engineering aircraft, and they don't even dare to emerge again! But now a large-scale land war is about to be carried out. Do you want them to attack the ground at a low altitude? In that case, it will destroy our air force's advantage! The enemy's air defense firepower, whether it is bows or muskets, has ways to fight against our low-flying air forces!"

Dassauhan gasped angrily. After beating for so long, today was their most afflicting day!

Dassauhan himself was also furious and shocked at the so-called tangram like a holy light incarnation that suddenly appeared on the enemy! Compared with the large group of paladins and priests who were supported by the enemy, the big monster who floated over the middle of the front line where the two sides were confronting each other was obviously even more terrifying!

Those hateful Stormwind Alliance don’t know where they got such a monster. Not only did they bizarrely implement vicious attacks on their Fire Alliance, but the effect was also extremely outstanding? Now, the opponent has successfully dismantled most of the combat power of the Silver Hand Knights, which was originally the most powerful and trustworthy.

"Dasauhan, I've told you a long time ago..."

"In fact, the holy light is not only faith, but also a profound philosophy of dealing with people and a way of survival that makes us positive and positive... I believe in the holy light, but I do not blindly follow the holy light... So, in front of that strange jigsaw puzzle, my holy light was not affected at all! Of course, I am willing to teach and share my holy light knowledge and everything about it to my Silver Hand colleagues..."

"But this may take a lot of time... So, Mr. Marshal Garythers, it should be feasible to retreat for the moment. As long as we have time, can we still regroup?"

Sighing, Old Fordine, who had regained the holy light after returning to Lordaeron and still maintained his peak combat power, although he still had a high fighting spirit and was not afraid of the slogan, but after seeing the soldiers of the Silver Hand Knights becoming weak, after careful consideration, he reluctantly agreed with the other people's resolution to retreat before the enemy launched a general attack and temporarily preserve their strength.

"That's right! Retreat, Marshal!"

"Garrithers... a temporary retreat does not mean failure, we still have a chance."

"Master Marshal..."

"Retreat, Marshal! Here is almost the last elite in our alliance..."

"That's right! Retreat now is a last resort, and it doesn't mean anything."

After Old Fordin and Dassauhan finished speaking, the ashes messengers Alexandros Moglani, General Alfred Abidis, Telanfordin, Bridget Abidis, Darien Moglani and other paladins began to whisper and persuaded Grand Marshal Garrith to retreat temporarily and organize defense lines in the rear again.

Other dwarf leaders and rangers such as Lothama of Quel's Thalas looked at each other awkwardly for a while. Although they did not join the hustle, they at least agreed to temporarily retreat.

“…”

Silently and slowly stood up, the Grand Marshal of the Fire Alliance, Garythers first looked around the big ticket in the tent, who was frightened in his heart, and then he sadly discovered: except for some rangers, magicians, dwarf griffin knight leaders and a few human warrior generals, most of the people here were actually paladins and priests?!

It was only now that he was shocked to realize that more than half of the Paladins in his troops...

No wonder, no wonder the enemy used that strange tangram to make trouble... Because of this move by the enemy, it just hit seven inches above their Flame Alliance army! In just less than a morning, most of his subordinates were paralyzed?

At this time, Grand Marshal Garythers thought a little sadly and angry: Sure enough, success is the holy light, failure is the holy light... At the beginning, he shouldn't have let the Paladins in the army arrange so many... and he shouldn't have promoted the way of the Holy Light in the countries of the alliance... Now look, he finally lifted a big stone and hit his own foot, right?

"Oh... I tell you, it's not that I don't want to retreat... but... forget it, you can take a look at the map first!"

Gallithers was about to say something, but then he stopped again. So he simply pulled the curtain behind him on a large battle map of the Lordaeron continent hanging on a wooden wall, and signaled everyone present to look at it together.

"Look at this place, and here, this is the front line we are now on, Tarenmere Camp!"

Holding a baton, Marshal Garythers gestured to everyone present seriously. All the defensive plans on the northern continent are now formulated by him, and are currently being well implemented!

"We are now guarding here, and we block the main gateway to the Ultratown Mountains! If we retreat, with our current strength, the Sophia Heights will definitely not be able to be protected... Then, if the enemy follows us to attack, before the steel fortress at the Ultratown Pass is completed, neither the Ultratown Ruins nor the Stein Blade will be defended!"

"Even... we may not even be able to guard the cold wind guard post in the ice-curd hill behind..."

Speaking of this, Grand Marshal Garythers's face became even more serious.

Originally, he had only told the kings of various kingdoms that other generals were kept secret! But now, he had to explain them clearly! Since Garithers was the great marshal of the alliance and commanded more than 100,000 alliance troops, he had to be responsible for the entire alliance! Therefore, what he was concerned about was not the gains and losses of a city and a place, or the victory or defeat of a certain battle, but the overall situation of the entire battle!

And now, for their in-depth defense plan, they must persist here until the steel fortress in the rear is completed!

"And then, once the enemy successfully breaks into the Ultratown Heights, as long as the enemy's commander is not a fool, they can drive straight into Andorhar County, the heart of our Flame Alliance! At that time, we will be completely safe! Whether the enemy attacks the King of Lord Lord, the East, the Hand of Tyr, or the City of Fire, or even the north attacks Quelthalas!"

"At that time, the East Dayan defense line we have arranged in the Alashi Highlands Rock Hammer Town and the West Dayan defense line south of the Silver Song Forest Ambermere will become meaningless! They can divide our major kingdoms into several pieces, and then let us only fight each other and be eliminated one by one..."

At this point, Garithers' baton in his hand couldn't help but tighten. This situation would be the worst time, and he didn't want to see these... because, that means that their Fire Alliance will completely fail and lose all the land and everything he now has!

For losers, the enemy will not pity them!

"So, you should understand now, right?"

"Once we give up here, it's equivalent to giving up everything! By then, whether it's the Arachi Heights, Hillsbrad Hills, Silver Pine Forest, Gilness, and even the Tirisfalinland, it may no longer be ours..."

"Are you willing to run north like a betrayal dog, and escape to the City of Fire or Quelthalas, guarding the gate of the elf? Think about it, Quelthalas is so broken now, and it must have not successfully recovered much productivity in a few years. How can we support so many people in our alliance?"

After the commentary, Garithers finally turned his head again, stared at everyone present with a bright look, and then said with a firm expression:

"So, we must never withdraw now! Although our territory is still very large,... after losing Nanhai Town and Saldo Bridge, we actually don't have much retreat..."

"Now, I hope you will go down and tell the soldiers of the Silver Hand: If there is no holy light, let them fight like an ordinary warrior, and don't be blinded by your faith! Without holy light, you still have swords, strength, and tenacious will and unyielding spirit!"

"I want you to always remember what you are fighting for! You are not only for yourself, but also for our common home, for our fire alliance!"

He threw away the baton and pulled out the long sword around his waist. Garithers stared at the Paladin generals in the tent with sharp eyes.

He was once a cavalryman and had never won the favor of the Holy Light, but he still fought for so many years? So this time, Garithers planned to go to the front line and encourage those idiots who have lost their combat effectiveness because of their faith!

He wanted those idiots to take a good look at him, Garithers, and then look at the other soldiers in the alliance. Many of them have never used the Holy Light, so they can still go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?

The situation is bad now. Although Garithers also knows that this place may not be able to be defended for long,... he still hopes that the troops can delay here for a while and build a second line of defense for the troops in the rear, especially the defense line at the Altlank Pass!

"Great, Grand Marshal!!!"

When Garithers was about to continue to teach these bastards who wanted to escape because of the sacred light, suddenly, a command officer who had not been informed was rushed in outside the tent.

"Marson! OK, good news! Our Queen, she is back! She, she just beat the tangram monster away!!!"

Seeing a senior general in a tent staring at him dissatisfiedly, the messenger swallowed and finally told the situation loudly.

"Her Majesty the Queen? Is it Her Majesty Queen Sylvanas?"

"It's just a mess! How dare she run to the front line? Didn't I ask her to urge the fire element architects and dwarves to build that steel line together at the Altlan Pass?!"

Hearing the words of the messenger, Garythers, the Grand Marshal of the Fire Alliance, didn't care about his identity and directly scolded the Queen of Quel'thalas.

You should know that the defense line at the Ultrarank Pass is crucial! When we really can't hold on here, we will definitely retreat and rely on the favorable terrain of the Ultrarank Mountains to continue blocking the enemy and continue to stalemate in the battle!

In fact, now, Garithers is ready to completely give up the Hillsbrad Hills and Arachi Heights. By then, they only need to defend the two defense lines of the Ambermere in the Silver Pine Forest and the Altlan Mountains, which can greatly shrink their defensive power and prevent the power balance between the two sides from being too disparate!

Whether this battle can continue for a long time or even develop into a major stage of strategic confrontation depends on whether Queen Sylvanas, who is behind, is doing well or whether it can be completed on time!

His Majesty Sylvanas also knew about this.

But now? The other party didn't stay behind to do engineering projects. Instead, he violated his strategic plan and ran to the front line to fight. What exactly did she want to do? She, a former Ranger General, may not be very strong, right?

Anyway, as far as Garithers knew, the High Elf Queen was definitely not as strong as the Paladins and warriors in their current tent! In terms of the ability to fight alone, like Dassauhan, Fording and Moglani, at least they can draw with her, or even be slightly better?

Of course, the premise is that Her Majesty the Queen will not fly kites...

"No... it's not Queen Sylvanas, but... it's Her Majesty the Queen of Fire! That's right, it's Her Majesty Queen Anne, she, she's back!"

"And, just in front of the formation, she...she...a bunch of fireballs directly knocked away the tangram! She also grabbed a shiny piece of holy light!"

Think about it before, the sudden teleportation of Her Majesty Queen Anne, and then, I don’t know what she said to the tangram monster. Then, the observers at the outpost at that time only saw that Her Majesty, who was angry, was slapped in a series of at least hundreds or thousands of fireballs that were bombarded at the enemy!

He still remembers that scene vividly...

Countless flames directly drowned the golden so-called God of Holy Light, making it directly turn into a large ball of explosive fireballs... Then, they soon heard the harsh sound of glass breaking?

Then, they only saw a large piece of golden fragments falling from the fire, and the so-called God of Holy Light tangram retreated quickly from the fire, and hurriedly ran to the other party's camp with the response of those demon-like creatures relying on their horns! And if they read correctly, the "God of Holy Light" seemed to have a structure like a thigh below?

After seeing this, he had participated in the war to annihilate the Scourge. When he knew that Queen, he got on the fast horse and ran back to the camp to report the news!

"Really? She's back? And, she beat the tangram monster away? That's great, it's so good!!"

"Hahaha! As long as someone can limit that tangram, our Fire Alliance will be saved!"

Garithers, who had been desperate for a while, laughed loudly without waiting for the others to react!

Although Her Majesty the Queen of Fire, who has been missing for several years, is often unreliable in doing things, is very casual, often causes trouble, and does not know how to command battles... But no matter how many of her shortcomings, her strength is obvious to all! This alone can ensure that this front will not be lost!
To be continued...
