According to Ye Ting's request, the alliance's army organized into legions of more than a thousand people and carried out a carpet-like clearing in the jungle of Zul'Aman step by step.

Facing the alliance's attack, the Amani trolls regarded it as another futile war launched by the high elves, so they wanted to use old methods to deal with this enemy.

However, they were wrong.

What they have to face is not a sparse army of high elves, but an alliance army of tens of thousands of people from three races.

In the face of such a large and dense army, the traditional hiding and infiltration tactics of the Amani trolls have lost their effectiveness.

They found that although a large part of their enemies were quite unadapted to jungle warfare, they remained quite cautious. They moved step by step and did not covet speed. Instead, they advanced slowly in the jungle and did not allow the hidden trolls to penetrate at all. Opportunity. They are like huge amounts of sieves, trying to sift through the Zul'Aman Forest from the border, and all the trolls hiding in it, no matter how good they are at hiding, will be effectively sifted out in the process.

There are also troll hunters who do not believe in evil and try to hide from the alliance army through superb concealment methods, but they end up either being killed or captured. During the search, the infantrymen would thrust their weapons into any suspicious places, including dense bushes, caves, and even streams.

And once a troll launches a surprise attack on the infantry from hiding, they may be able to kill one or two infantry with the sudden attack at first, but then they will face the siege of countless infantry, even if they face this situation. A powerful troll like Zuljin had to flee.

Unfortunately, even if it means escaping, the troll doesn't have much chance.

The existence of the gryphon knights in the sky is to deal with such a situation. Any abnormal situation in the forest will be noticed by them immediately. They will focus on the exposed trolls and pursue them from the air. The storms falling from the sky will The hammer will crush the heads of any troll they can see.

As a result, the trolls desperately discovered that their living space was being compressed bit by bit.

It's not like they didn't think about going out in large numbers and taking advantage of the terrain to ambush the alliance, but this tactic ultimately proved to be a failure.

If there are too few ambushed trolls, they will not be able to cause enough damage to the alliance's legions. They can often only kill a few unprepared infantrymen at the beginning by throwing spears and throwing axes, and then they have to face a massive counterattack by the enemy. The high elf rangers assigned to these legions will play their role at this time. Hiding behind the infantry, they can easily kill the exposed trolls.

However, a large-scale ambush is even less effective.

The stalker's stealth, or the forest troll's hiding in the forest, is not really invisible by distorting light like magician's Invisibility Magic. They just use shadows and coverings.

Just divert attention and other methods so that the enemy cannot detect you.

Therefore, in front of the gryphon knights patrolling at high altitude, such a large-scale ambush is basically impossible. As long as one or two people reveal their flaws, it is equivalent to everyone being defeated.

In the end, the trolls had only one remaining response, and that was to engage in head-on combat with the Alliance.

However, how can it be so easy to defeat the Alliance in a frontal battle?

The Amani trolls are no longer the troll empire they once were. Their power is much weaker than in the past. Even if they face attacks from the high elves, they can only fight guerrillas in the jungle to defeat the high elves. The elves couldn't bear the large number of sacrifices and retreated. How can such a troll have the ability to fight the Alliance head-on?

Although the high elves cherish their own population and cannot bear a large number of sacrifices, humans are different.

Although it is cruel to say this, in fact, compared to the high elves, human soldiers are indeed worthless. If they can trade with the trolls for one, then for the alliance, this is a profit.

Or to put it more clearly, the greatest use of human infantry in this war against trolls is to become cannon fodder.

It is up to them to bear the sacrifices required in jungle warfare, and it is the high elf rangers who truly reap the lives of the trolls.

This is also the reason why Ye Ting mixed high elves and human armies.

He was prepared for the human army to suffer losses due to the constant harassment of trolls in the forest.

Use humans to expose the trolls, use elven rangers to kill the trolls.

Although no one knows his intentions except himself, this is the real meaning of this tactic.

However, to his surprise, until the Alliance entered Zul'Aman for a week, there were no reports of large-scale casualties.

Except for the heavy casualties at the beginning due to reasons such as not adapting to the jungle and insufficient tactical adjustment, after that, the casualties would not exceed fifty people on any day.

According to feedback from the front line, after several failed ambushes and several major blows, the Amani Troll side seemed to have begun to give up on the tactic of killing the Alliance through the Amani Troll's ability to hide in the forest.

In addition to the scouts, a large number of troll hunters began to return to their base camp, seemingly preparing to accumulate strength and fight the alliance head-on.

When making this judgment, Ye Ting, as the commander, didn't believe it at first because it was so inconsistent with the trolls' character.

But after thinking about it for a while, he felt that such a result seemed reasonable.

The reason why this happened was precisely because of the high elves' previous plan--not to kill Zuljin after capturing him, but to use him to contain the Amani trolls.

Judging from the current situation, the Amani troll is obviously restrained by this strategy.

The spiritual leader of the trolls, Zuljin, is absent, and the Amani trolls are leaderless. They can only be ruled by Zuljin's capable subordinates, as well as the highly respected witch doctors and priests in the tribe.

.

If Zul'jin is still there, Zul'jin himself can definitely make the final decision regarding the war strategy. If Zul'jin dies, then the trolls will elect a new leader to lead them.

But now, the trolls have to face the common rule of multiple leaders, and no one of them can control everything.

The reason is very simple. If anyone can show the talent and ambition to lead the entire Amani troll tribe, how will he deal with it if Zul'jin returns?

However, the result of multiple people voting together is slow decision-making and conservative decision-making.

When multiple people vote, no one wants to be responsible for failure, so the final result is often the most conservative and least error-prone result.

This is exactly how the current trolls made the most conservative decision - when attrition and guerrilla tactics failed, they chose to abandon their original tactics and concentrate their forces to fight against salt.

However, is this really the best tactic for trolls?
