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

You know, Ye Ting's ultimate goal is to encircle all the trolls and make them disappear from the jungle of Zuaman forever, and will never become a threat to the alliance.

What he worries about is never how to defeat the trolls, but how to not let go of any of them.

He has always understood the truth that cutting the grass does not eliminate the roots and the spring breeze regenerates. For races such as humans, orcs, and trolls that can reproduce in large numbers, the threat can only be completely eliminated by killing them all.

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

What's more, the trolls abandon their advantages and fight the alliance head-on, almost as good as their own shortcomings.

This made Ye Ting almost laughed out loud.

In this way, under the conservative strategy of the trolls, the Alliance army advanced all the way in the Zuaman Forest and successfully reached their capital, the remains of the troll city Zuaman.

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 coalition of humans and high elves, the capital of the empire gradually declined. The remaining Amani trolls live in the remains of the city, but they still have not given up their ambitions to revive the troll empire.

But now, they will be here, facing the attack of the alliance.

Today, the supreme rulers of the Amani trolls are the witchcraft lord Malakas, the warlord Dakara, and the shaman Egilsson. They are actively organizing all the team-powered trolls, and will The old and weak women and children sent to the rear, in short, everything was to keep 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 infantrymen of the Alliance were given the same order by Ye Ting, which was to cut down trees.

Yes, until now, Ye Ting’s greatest fear of trolls is still their forest combat ability-human and elven armies cannot be deployed in a forest full of trees. Therefore, in the forest, even if it is frontal In combat, the alliance's army will inevitably fall into a melee.

Although relying on the superiority of troops, even if it is a melee, the Alliance cannot lose to these Amani trolls, but it is indeed inevitable to cause certain casualties.

In order to further expand the advantages of the alliance, Ye Ting can only make this move.

That is to artificially create a superior battlefield for the alliance.

As long as a large enough clearing area is created around the ruins of Zu Aman, the Amani trolls cannot use the forest to forcefully enter a melee with the Alliance. They have to face a tight formation and cooperate with a close alliance army. These barbaric fighters will never be the opponents of the alliance by virtue of their skirmishes. In the end, Ye Ting will wipe them out at the least cost.

The laborers, militiamen, and infantry soldiers strictly followed the commander's orders, and soon the surrounding ruins of Zuaman became a large logging yard.

A large number of trees were chopped down and concentrated, where carpenters would convert these woods into fences and horses to resist the trolls.

The high elven rangers, the elven army, and the most elite human warriors did not participate in the work of logging. These elite soldiers are responsible for acting as the defensive force of the logging yard, ready to respond to the raids of the trolls.

The Griffin Riders are patrolling in the air to detect the movements of the trolls in the city. Once the opponent has signs of gathering troops and surrendering the loggers, they will issue a warning, and the Alliance will immediately respond.

When the logging operation had just begun, the trolls regarded them as a joke, ridiculing them for being too afraid of the power of the trolls to make such a foolish act. They firmly believe that such an action will not last long to polish the patience of the enemy.

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

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

They really wanted to cut down trees to create a barrier, so as to trap the trolls in the ruins of Zuaman.

As a result, the flustered Amani troll organized several waves of sneak attacks, deliberately disrupting the enemy's plan and asking them to give up logging.

However, the Griffin Rider in the air keenly sensed the movements of the trolls and reported it to the commander of the alliance.

Immediately afterwards, these attackers were resolutely counterattacked by the High Elf Legion.

In a legion-level confrontation, the troll has never been an opponent of the high elves, and it is not surprising this time.

Therefore, they failed, and every attack was repulsed mercilessly.

In desperation, they have only two choices, either hide in the ruins and let the other side create a barrier, and in the end they can only rely on the ruins to fight the other side to the death.

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

Regarding which of these two strategies to implement, there was a heated debate among the top executives of the Amani trolls.

Headed by Warlord Dakara, Berserker leader Narorak, the most powerful hunter Haraz, and headhunter leader Gayalai believe that it is time to fight quickly and use the talent of Amani trolls in the forest. Give the enemy a fatal blow.

However, the witchcraft lord Malakas, the shaman Egilsson and others believe that the best countermeasure is still to rely on the city ruins to defend. Their biggest reason is that through the altar in the city ruins, they can maximize Borrowing the power of God Loa, they believe that the existence of God Loa is the trump card of the Amani troll.

In the end, this controversy about tactics was won by Malakas, the witchcraft lord who represented faith, and Egilsson, the shaman.

It is no wonder that, in most cases, the highest status in troll society is still witch doctors and shamans. This superstitious race can even use its own kin to perform **** sacrifices for the sake of faith, which shows their fanaticism.

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

As a result, it took another week, and with the help of magic, the Alliance successfully established a clearing as a barrier around the ruins of Zuaman.

The existence of the isolation zone made the trolls lose their advantage, and their combat effectiveness was reduced to a minimum.

However, in the city of Zuaman, the trolls have also established new confidence.

Facing the alliance's encirclement and suppression, the exhausted Amani trolls gained new power from Loa.

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

In this case, the war is on the verge of breaking out.

Item 0484

In the jungle, the weather changes whenever it changes.

Not long after the logging work was completed in the Alliance and the isolation zone was established, the original clear sky suddenly changed, and it soon began to rain heavily.

In the continuous rain, the soldiers of the Alliance had to answer their camps and postpone their offensive plans.

Although there is no gunpowder weapon, wet rain is still a great enemy for the Alliance army. It will not only wet the armor and clothing, hinder the activities of the soldiers, but also affect the tightness of the bowstrings of the rangers, making the bow The killing ability of the crossbow is greatly reduced. Not to mention the Griffin Riders, for them, flying in the rain is absolutely asking for trouble.

Faced with such weather, even Ye Ting had no good solutions. Although magic can change the weather for a short time, it can't last, so he had to pinch his nose to admit that he was unlucky.

Fortunately, they established an isolation zone and moved the camp here. If it is in the forest, the rain will be twice as troublesome.

However, out of caution, under his order, the Alliance increased the intensity of patrols, and the rangers were mobilized to replace the Griffin Rider as much as possible to monitor the movements of the Amani trolls in the city of Zu Amman.

As expected by Ye Ting, the trolls did not intend to let go of this opportunity.

Compared with the Alliance, the trolls who adapt to forest life are less affected by rain. They basically don’t wear too much clothing. They only use animal skins as a comparison. They don’t wear heavy armor and only tie a few pieces on the vital parts. Wooden armor; nor suitable for long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, only short-range throwing objects such as spears and throwing axes are used.

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

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

As the saying goes, the Amani trolls living in the forest have underdeveloped smelting technology, and wood is their main material for making armor, weapons, and equipment.

The inexhaustible wood in the forest made them unnecessary to worry about materials, but at the same time, it also made the flame magic of the high elves an eternal pain in their hearts.

Not to mention, the existence of the flame element can suppress the talent of the troll-powerful regeneration ability.
