Chapter 375: There's a Pervert!

Once again, Alleria had underestimated Duke's cunning, or perhaps his ability to play with words.

On this day, over five thousand Gnomish style mechanical robots boldly crossed the border of Quel'Thalas, which was largely out of elven control.

The Windrunner sisters were dumbfounded.

"Is this... is this even possible?" Alleria looked at Duke across the border.

"Why not?" Duke stood with his hands on his hips, "Toys accidentally crossing the border, is that a crime? Besides, which of your eyes saw that these were mine? They are clearly elven creations."

Alleria rolled her eyes at Duke, her expression a complex mix of relief and exasperation.

Yes! Theoretically, these Mobile Alert Systems were elven.

Why?

Didn't you see the words 'Quel'Thalas Border Defense Force No. 10086' written in Common on the iron shell of the Mobile Alert System?

Of course, the elves would never have such a terrible number, nor would they use any language other than Thalassian, and they certainly wouldn't have gnome-style robots that would ruin the city's aesthetics.

Silvermoon City also had combat golems, but those with almost round and curved bodies were clearly arcane style!

Anyway, not a single human soldier crossed the border. To avoid suspicion, Duke even withdrew Daniel.

A perfect word game.

Duke would never do such a thing for the damn Sun King, he did it only for the Windrunner sisters, to be precise, for Alleria.

Alleria knew very well what Duke had given up for this.

Duke had set up a fully automated production line for robots in Karazhan, and the hard work was naturally taken care of by the miserable Khadgar. To transport so many goods here, Duke had to do it himself.

Duke was not yet strong enough, he could only transport people or goods not exceeding 1 ton each time. Even so, Duke was exhausted, like a dead dog all day.

However, to get a grateful look from Alleria, that was enough.

The Horde must be fought, and the girls just happened to be wooed, nothing could be more perfect than this.

On this day, the overwhelmingly superior troll army encountered a super problem.

Because of the Mobile Alert Systems.

Most of the trolls who were targeted by the Mobile Alert Systems were killed. The Horde was indeed annoyed by the early warning function of the Mobile Alert Systems. No one expected that the power of the Mobile Alert Systems combined with elven rangers would be so astonishing.

Those seemingly silly mechanical creatures were aimlessly wandering in the Eversong Woods. But unexpectedly, a high-speed paint arrow would be shot from the Mobile Alert System, sticking to a troll lurking in the tree.

In jungle warfare, when both sides have the premise of killing each other, the most important thing is to discover the other side first.

In previous battles, the most important thing was the means of concealment and the means of discovering the enemy. Observation, judgment, experience are indispensable. Any miscalculation, the result is death.

The appearance of the Mobile Alert Systems completely broke this balance.

First of all, the Mobile Alert Systems are not afraid of death, they are mechanical creatures to begin with, if they are blown up, they are directly dragged away. On-site repair is impossible, Duke ran back to Karazhan overnight to practice engineering, and only managed to tinker with a mobile version of the Waste Recycling Robot 74a. This thing will automatically find the 'fallen' Mobile Alert System robots in the forest, recycle their wreckage, and re-decompose it into the required engineering parts.

Without any worries, the Mobile Alert Systems naturally went to their deaths in a splendid manner.

Behind them, the elven ranger squad was hanging back, while the Mobile Alert Systems boldly cleared the way.

For example, this time, a Mobile Alert System suddenly shouted.

"Help! There's a pervert!" After it sprayed a troll in the tree with paint, it was hit by a flying axe and immediately went down.

Its sacrifice was worth it, as in the next second, that troll was shot in the head by an elf ranger who acted immediately after.

The rangers were dumbfounded, but there was no denying that the Mobile Alert Systems' reconnaissance was very effective.

They summed up a rule that made them laugh and cry.

"There's a pervert." meant there was one troll.

"There are a few perverts." meant there were no more than five trolls.

"There are many perverts." meant there were about ten.

"I can't, there are too many perverts, I'm giving up treatment." This meant there were more than fifty trolls, and the rangers had to retreat immediately.

It must be said that with the help of the Mobile Alert Systems, Alleria managed to hold off fifty thousand trolls with less than three thousand rangers. She even freed up more than three hundred lightly injured rangers to organize evacuations in the rear.

"Everyone, don't panic! Hold on, reinforcements from Silvermoon City will arrive soon." In order to reassure the people, Alleria had to tell some lies that she herself didn't believe.

Reinforcements from Silvermoon City, where would they come so quickly?

Unless Anasterian was willing to send out the standing army of Silvermoon City, it would take at least three days just to assemble the troops. But would the Horde give her three days?

Also that night, the main force of the Horde arrived. Unlike the trolls who directly attacked the Eversong Woods, the orcs also sent a detachment to attack the Windrunner home village and the Windrunner Tower on the southwestern edge of the Eversong Woods.

Thanks to Alleria's early warning, even though the official from Silvermoon City who came earlier had forbidden the Windrunner family to evacuate to Silvermoon City in advance, every household was ready to evacuate.

Packing things in advance wouldn't be considered a crime, right?

Almost as soon as the evacuation permit from Silvermoon City came down, the elves of the entire village orderly threw their belongings onto the pre-prepared elven transport ships, and in just two hours, they evacuated cleanly.

The orc detachment that returned without success could only run back and act as a rear guard behind the main force, guarding against possible attacks from Duke.

However, the efforts of the rangers only achieved a delay effect.

The green tide of the Horde still drowned all resistance, and in just three days, the Horde had killed to the Eastern Sanctuary, only a hundred kilometers south of Silvermoon City.

The elves barely resisted the Horde's offensive with the powerful magic defense system of the sanctuary. As the Horde heavily invested two-headed ogre mages, the situation began to deteriorate.

At this time, Prince Kael'thas, who hurried back, saw the hastily assembled army of twenty-five thousand.

Looking at the troops his father and the Silvermoon Council had put together for him, Kael'thas's face was ashen.

"Are you kidding me? This is the army that's supposed to resist the 100,000-strong Horde?"

Twenty-five thousand, most of them were local defense forces withdrawn from the front line. Unlike the rangers who had been fighting on the front line, these defense teams were poorly trained, and most of them were scared out of their wits by the orcs.

Most importantly, Kael'thas was shocked to find a severe lack of warriors in this batch of troops.

Warriors who could stand at the front, holding the line!
