On the vast Battle Plains, the Alliance players gathered one after another. Nearly thirty players stood together, and the crowd seemed to be quite impressive.
However, the Horde players were not inferior. On the narrow road beside the Ice Tower, the Horde players were also waiting. All kinds of traps and flares blocked the narrow road. They were also in formation.
Chen Mo was not with the main force of the Alliance. He was standing on a hill near the Snowfall Graveyard with Li Jingsi, looking at the Horde's defense line in the distance.
The Battle Plains was a large depression. Vision was severely limited there. It was basically impossible to see the Ice Tower and the Horde's defense near the Ice Fortress. However, in the Snowfall Graveyard, the entire central part of the battlefield, including the Battle Plains, could be seen at a glance.
Li Jingsi looked at the main force of the Horde in the distance and frowned, "The Horde seems to be defending to the death. I thought they would come out again. "
Chen Mo's face was expressionless, but the current situation was not what he wanted to see.
Although they had fought a perfect team battle at the bridge, not only defeating the Horde's main force, but also trapping them in the Lightning Spear Graveyard, there were many factors that contributed to that victory. The Horde's carelessness was one, and the special terrain was another.
The Horde was not prepared at all last time, and did not even set up many traps. However, now that they had suffered a great loss, would the Horde be as careless as they were last time?
The main force of the Alliance was still gathering on the Battle Plains, looking at the Mages and Hunters on the hill in the distance.
Although some of them were so bored that they could not wait to rush up and fight to the death with the Horde, everyone was still waiting quietly. No one dared to rush forward.
Because in the previous battle, everyone had been convinced by the new battlefield leader, and trusted his command from the bottom of their hearts.
Chen Mo observed for two minutes and saw a Rogue typing in the battlefield channel, "A large number of Horde have come to the East and West Towers. We might not be able to hold on!"
The sneak team at the front had a clear division of labor. A Rogue was left behind to monitor the situation outside. Seeing a large number of Horde coming back, the Rogue immediately reported in the battlefield channel.
Chen Mo immediately said, "Stay alive. Return the East and West Towers to them. You guys go back immediately and prepare to attack the high ground of the Watch Towers. Everyone else, get ready to charge! Let's go. "
The last sentence was obviously meant for Li Jingsi.
The two of them jumped down from the towering mountain peak and flew far away like a feather, landing in the middle of the Alliance's main force.
The moment the two of them landed, the Alliance players rushed towards Ice Fortress.
…
Whether the terrain of Alterac Valley was beneficial to the Alliance or the Horde had been controversial since the day the battlefield was created.
Although the key elements of both sides (Tower, Graveyard, NPC) were the same, the specific terrain and layout were different. This kind of dispute caused a lot of conflict between the Alliance and the Horde. Both sides felt that they were at a disadvantage.
Generally speaking, both sides had their own advantages. The Alliance was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, while the Horde was loose on the outside.
Apart from the vast battlefield in the center and the Snowfall Graveyard, the two sides' lines of defense could basically be seen as three: the first and second towers + the captain's room, the graveyard + the mine, and the inner tower + the first aid station.
The second line of defense had no special structures other than the mine, so there was no value in defending it. The key was the first and third lines of defense.
The Alliance's first line of defense was the Stoneforge, Stoneforge Outpost, Stoneforge Graveyard, and Icewing Fortress. They were distributed vertically and were further apart. The Stoneforge Fortress was isolated and difficult to receive support. The roads here were also complicated. The Horde had at least three routes that could lead to the graveyard, the second tower, or the captain's room. The Alliance's first line of defense was basically useless.
The Alliance's third line of defense was the bridge. It was a perfect line of defense. Even if the Alliance players didn't know anything, as long as they defended the bridge, it would be hard for the Horde to break in.
The Horde's line of defense was the opposite.
The Horde's third line of defense was full of holes. Although it also had a certain degree of steep terrain, it was much easier to charge through the slope than the bridge. There was even a small path beside the west tower that could be entered. If one was not careful, the Bandits could sneak in.
However, the Horde's first line of defense completely destroyed the Alliance's Stoneforge line.
The Frost Graveyard and the Frost Outpost were very close to each other. They were on the same line as the Frost Fortress, so they could provide support very quickly. Most importantly, there was only one way to get to the Frost Graveyard. There were mountains on both sides, and there was a roadblock in the middle of the road. As long as the Horde defended this road, they would be invincible.
If the Alliance wanted to attack the captain or burn the Frost Outpost, the Horde's main force would immediately rush out to fight. It didn't matter if people died, as the Horde's graveyard was much closer. When both sides had similar numbers, it was almost impossible for the Alliance to take down the Frost Outpost, let alone kill the captain.
As for breaking through the Horde's line of defense to open up the graveyard, that was even more impossible. At a narrow road like this, no matter how many people they had, they would only be throwing away their glory.
It was because of this difference in terrain that something called the "Horde Tortoise Team" was born in the history of the Oksan Battlefield, and even the national team of the Alliance was in so much pain.
It had to be said that the players' intelligence was limitless.
There was a time in Chen Mo's previous life when the number of Horde players increased with the appearance of the Blood Elves, and the queuing time on the battlefield increased exponentially. Many Alliance players started to form YY teams and national teams, using their advantage of being able to queue up faster to enter the battlefield and gain glory.
Of course, the Horde also had YY teams and national teams, but the Alliance players queued up within seconds, while the Horde players had to wait for more than half an hour. Therefore, other than the national teams clashing with the national teams, there were many times when the Horde's random teams would clash with the Alliance's national teams.
The consequences of these collisions were extremely tragic. This was because the national team had many PvP players who specialized in grinding on the battlefield. They had good mechanics and good equipment, and they also had professional commanders who used voice commands to control the various teams. As a result, the results were usually very crushing.
The national teams would split up in the battlefield channel during the preparation phase. Team 1234 would charge straight for the Frost Fortress to kill the Horde captain, team 56 would defend the Stone Furnace Outpost and the graveyard, team 78 would sneak into the Horde's home to open up the East and West Towers, and once team 1234 killed the Horde captain, they would open up the Frost Outpost and the high ground.
Even if the Horde players tried to resist, they would basically be scattered by the Alliance's teams, and might even be repeatedly killed in the Frostwolf Graveyard. After all, the random players would fight for themselves, and it would be very difficult to compete with the national team in a team battle.
Therefore, during that period of time, many Horde players had a very unpleasant experience in Oksan, especially those who were solo players and didn't want to play with the national team. They had no gaming experience at all.
