Chapter 0448? La la la?(1/3)
Follow the Titan Road of the Dragon Mile Temple to go south. In the southeast of the Blue Dragon Holy Land and next to the ruins of the Titan Road along the southwest of the Emerald Dragon Holy Land, there is a lively construction site here. When the large fleet of the Flame Alliance finally arrived here, this temporary port began to be nervously built by a large number of sailors and soldiers.
At this time, the person in charge here was Delin Proudmore, the former Lordaern Alliance admiral!
However, this time he led the fleet north to the ground, not only his Seventh Fleet, but also a large number of ocean-going sailboats mixed in by the New Kingdom of Lordaeron and the Kingdom of Quelthalas, he formed a super-large fleet, and finally arrived at the southernmost place of the Northrend continent three days ago.
"Uncle Dai Lin! What's the use of building so many large wooden boats now? You may not believe it when you say it. I can burn such a large one with a fireball!"
Little Anne, sitting on the temporary and urgently built cargo box, reached out to the largest and most beautiful Admiral flagship in the distance, and exaggeratedly gestured toward the ship. The ship was indeed big and beautiful, but a pity: it was made of wood!
In fact, the huge warships parked in this temporary dock and on the sea in the distance, and the white sails that are almost out of sight are all made of wood, and most of them are without any magic or armor protection. Such sea ships are simply too easy to burn!
"I remember, aren't the flying warships that have become popular now that are modified from goblin airships? And the steam armored gunboats invented by dwarf steam tanks?"
"I have heard that Sister Sylvanas and the others are ready to eliminate those wooden sailboats in the army. Now Quel'thalas has begun to build magic engine air fortresses and air gunboats. Lordaeron and the Republic of Difia are also vigorously building steam-powered armored dreadnoughts..."
"So, Uncle Dai Lin... your warships are really out of date. If you fall behind, you will be beaten!"
If Anne remembers correctly, in the current Fire Alliance, in the suburbs outside the New Silver Moon City, the High Elves Kingdom of Quelthalas in the north, the High Elves and Dalaran are using the energy of the new Sunwell and the relevant structural principles of the Naxxamas that were shot down by the Alliance to start mass-producing magical fortresses with powerful air-to-ground attack capabilities, magic protection and flight capabilities, as well as those floating airbags high-speed gunboats and transport boats, etc.
In addition, in the northern coastal area north of the New Lordaeron Kingdom, many new steam shipyards and steel plants were also secretly built. In addition to dwarf craftsmen, a large number of goblins are also employed, and they are busy producing a new generation of coal-fired or oil-fueled steam armored dreadnoughts!
It is obvious that the Fire Alliance, which was forced to the Northern Expedition Army of the Stormwind City Alliance, was forced to a very embarrassing place and was almost wiped out. After receiving huge financial assistance from Anne, in addition to using it to develop the economy and build infrastructure within the alliance, it also plans to work hard on the navy and air force that can greatly improve combat power.
The decision-makers of the Flame Alliance seem to be planning to use the omnipotent krypton gold technique to forcefully expand their high-end combat power, and lay the absolute crushing strength of the Eastern Kingdom Navy and Air Force in one fell swoop, so as to make relevant preparations for the future full-scale internal strife in Azeroth?
Strictly speaking, this matter is actually the top secret in the Fire Alliance. Only a very small number of kingdom leaders and those involved in the plan know it. It is absolutely not allowed to disclose it to any outsider, even Dalyn Proudmore, the admiral who came to help the Fire Alliance, is no exception! If the ones that Little Anne just said just now, if someone else dared to do this, she would have been arrested and isolated and investigated long ago.
"Is the Navy of the Fire Alliance going to be renewed? This is the first time I have heard it..."
At first hearing the little girl say such news, Dalyn Proudmore was stunned for a moment, because it was indeed the first time he heard something like this, but after thinking about the other party's identity, he nodded with clarity.
"Forget it, these are not important!"
"But... Queen Anne, you are right. We naval ships are indeed a bit unable to keep up with the development of the times, and will sooner or later be eliminated..."
"Actually, we, Kurtiras, have no ability to continue to build naval warships... These are anchored on the right, they are the last team of our Kurtiras Navy Seventh Fleet... and those on the left are your Flame Alliance fleet."
After sighing, Dalin said, pointing to the magical warships in the distance, which were obviously in the style of elf and some sailboats with Lordaeron's flag.
In fact, without the little girl preaching to him, he himself knew that the era of sail battleships may really be gradually over... If it were thirty years ago, his sail battleships could indeed traverse the endless sea, but now... After several orc wars and repeated invasions of the Burning Legion, over the years, various technologies and the use of various energy in the Azeroth world have been constantly making great progress!
For example, the war equipment of dwarves, goblins and gnomes, the research and application of magic, holy light, elements and even feldom by humans and elves, etc., now those airships and planes are not uncommon, and what this little girl just said, the Fire Alliance is going to create floating fortresses, flying gunboats and armored dreadnoughts, which is not that strange...
"I am old now... Kurtiras, the once glorious sea kingdom, is also declining. Naturally, our Seventh Fleet will gradually be eliminated by the times..."
"Soon, my name as an admiral is about to become famous."
Thinking about the embarrassing situation of Kul Tiras now, thinking about his two sons who died in battle and the only daughter who was mixed with the Stormwind Alliance, Dailin's expression couldn't help but dim. Sometimes, he didn't even know where the country's way out was.
In fact, during the days when he led the mixed fleet to Northrend, Dailin himself realized that the warships under his command were probably not even comparable to those magical sailing ships that were intended to be converted into civilians, not to mention the flying warships and steel dreadnoughts that the little girl had mentioned before!
In just thirty years, the era of their older generation disappeared without realizing it...
Think about it before, when mankind was at its most glorious time, among the seven kingdoms of mankind, Terenas Minaihill of Lordaeron, Gene Greyman of Gilnis, Aiden Pirenod of Ultratown, Soras Tolbain of Stormgard, Speaker Anthonydas of Dalaran... Now all have become a bubble, and the glory of their older generation has long disappeared... The only thing left is his own Kurtilas is still breathing.
"Then why don't you join the Fire Alliance, Uncle Dailin? You may not know that our Fire Alliance is rich now, so there will definitely be no problem in helping you build a country!"
"And, at that time, maybe you can still lead those fleets of steel dreadnoughts to continue to go out to sea? You may not know that those steel dreadnoughts are much larger and more powerful than your broken ships!"
Although little Annie herself did not care about the affairs of the Kingdom of Kurtiras, and she could not even remember where the other party's territory was, after seeing the ugly appearance of Uncle Dailin, she thought about it and invited her indifferently.
Anyway, there are so many weird things in the Fire Alliance now, so it may not be a big deal to add a Kingdom of Kul Tiras.
"Haha! You little guy, don't think about playing this with me!"
"Let me tell you clearly. The Kalia girl from Minaishire's family has advised me many times before, but I just want to fight against the orcs and the Burning Legion... I don't really want to participate in the Stormwind Alliance and you. Besides, my daughter... forget it, why do you say this!"
Shaking his head, Dailin smiled bitterly and rejected the slippery little girl, and rejected the personal invitation from the leader of the Fire Alliance. In short, with the two relationships between Lordaeron's adopted daughter Carlia and his daughter Gianna, Dailin would never join either of the Fire Alliance or Stormwind Alliance!
Now Dailin has actually made up his mind: after fighting the Burning Legion and winning this time, if he cannot fight with the orcs, he may have to lead the Seventh Fleet back to the Kingdom of Kurtiras to retire and never participate in the war in the Azeroth World again.
"I tell you that the benefits in our alliance are super good!"
"Let me tell you another good news: after the Burning Legion is finished, our alliance will create a large number of expensive magic rune stones, then bury them everywhere in the northern continent, and finally cast the spell to directly cover the entire territory of the Flame Alliance!"
"At that time, all humans can live as long as high elves, which will last thousands or tens of thousands of years. How about it, are you moved?"
Seeing that this old guy was so stubborn, little Annie's eyes rolled around and she simply shook out another top secret in the Flame Alliance again.
“…”
Frowning, Dai Lin didn't know how to talk about this little girl... The other party could even tell him such a thing to an outsider. Is this really good?
"If it's really good, then there will be magic energy covering the entire northern continent and it can really increase lifespan... By that time, I might consider taking Catherine to Lordaeron City to retire?"
Dai Lin also knew the longevity of the high elves of Quelthalas and the eternal life caused by those night elves bathing in the energy of the Eternal Well, so based on the principle of not taking advantage of the bastard, he might really be able to do the kind of thing that moves his family to Lordaeron and then take advantage of the energy of the Sunwell to "superbate" the old age.
"Wow! How can you, the old man in monsters, be so cunning?"
"Annie... You called me Uncle Dailin just now, why did you call me the old man now?"
"You are a stubborn and weird old man!"
“…”
"If you say something nice to me and call me a few words from Uncle Dailin, maybe I will seriously consider the proposal you just now?"
"Do you think I look like a fool?"
“Well…not very similar…”
"Will it be a knot! Hello, old man, goodbye to the old man! I won't play with you now!"
He jumped directly from the wooden box at the dock, and Anne disappeared with a teleportation and left the dirty and smelly dock!
Because, those sailors and the old guy named Dailin have not taken a shower for at least a month, and their bodies are full of disgusting and stinky smell. Annie should not stay in such a place and play with these unhygienic monsters!
"Oh……"
Somehow, when Dai Lin saw the little girl leaving in anger, he suddenly felt that with such a cute master's Fire Alliance, no matter how bad it is, it seems that it will not be bad, right? Or... all the evil things done by this alliance are all conspiracies or rumors of hostile forces?
But no matter what, no matter how much the impression is, with his daughter Gianna's relationship, no matter what the situation, he will not easily join the Fire Alliance... Maintaining absolute neutrality may be the best choice that Kul Tiras can make.
—————
At the Dragon Mile Temple, the heads and minds of all ethnic groups and countries of Azeroth were invited to gather here again, preparing to conduct emergency consultations on the decisive battle of the Dragon Bone Wilderness, which is about to determine the fate of the Azeroth world, and arrange coordination and command matters of the armies of the various alliances.
And this is also the main reason why little Annie sneaked out alone at this time and ran to the port of the Flame Alliance Fleet in the south to play! She should not waste time with these adults who like to hold meetings regardless of whether they are in trouble or not, whether they are big or small!
For Little Annie, meetings and other things are the most annoying!
"The heroes of the Azeroth World are here, this is the general situation now..."
"The crisis of the storm cliff in the north has now passed... A few days ago, I believe you have also seen the huge movement in the north. After the unremitting efforts of the Explorer Association, the bronze dragon Cromi and Queen Anne Hasta, the crisis that may lead to the destruction of the planet has passed. This is a gratifying thing!"
"However, there is another more serious matter in front of us, and I believe you all know it!"
"After the fraudster Kiljadan defeated Arthas and grabbed the helmet of the dominance, the demons of the Burning Legion who conquered the Crystal Song Forest have now merged with the undead natural disasters entrenched in the Ice Crown Glacier! According to our reconnaissance information, their huge army has passed through the Crystal Rift Canyon and is heading south. In the latest four days, they will be with another part of the Burning Legion in the Tomb of Galakron, near the Titan Road in the north of our Dragon Mile Temple, and here is the main camp of the Fire Alliance!"
"After these many days of reconnaissance, you must have noticed that the demons of the Burning Legion have begun to set up camps in this empty, suitable for the battle! Obviously, this is the battlefield they prepared for us!"
"So, if we want to fight, we must mobilize the main force here within two days to camp, and make preparations for a decisive battle with the powerful enemy at any time!"
The Red Dragon Queen Alextasa pointed to a place not far north of the Dragon Sleeping Temple and said. That place was right between the current demon's new camp and the Flame Alliance camp. In addition to the huge and dilapidated Titan Road, the surrounding area was full of flat snow fields, which was enough for both sides to set up hundreds of thousands of troops here and fight for a victory or defeat.
Of course, under normal circumstances, large-scale battles are generally impossible to fight like this. No one will pile up all the chips on the battlefield and have a decisive battle of one battle to determine the outcome. The risk of doing so is too great!
However, it is not the ordinary situation now. The demons now have an absolute advantage! Judging from the current actions of the fraudster Kiljaden, the other party may really want to do his best to defeat all the resistance forces of the Azeroth coalition in Northrend in one fell swoop?
If this is true, there are not many choices left to the Azeroth masters who are now attending the meeting at the Dragon Mile Temple. Everyone present knows more or less these things.
"Queen Alextasa, our Stormwind Alliance is eager to know, what kind of troops do they have?"
King Varian of Stormwind City was finally the first to ask after a while.
The enemy army heading south, the 7th MIIT of their Stormwind City, as well as various sentry detectives, griffin knights, horned eagle shooters or steam helicopters, have already been reconnaissed, but because they dare not rely too tightly, they only know a terrible approximate number. As for more specific things, they are a little helpless.
“…”
"According to our magic and the dragons of the Dragon Sleeping Legion, as well as the current unstable state of space, the number of various demons in the Burning Legion is estimated to be about 400,000, which also includes those in the Galakron Tomb Camp! As for those Scourge Legion..."
"In addition to the underground cave monsters that cannot be counted, the number of undead troops we can see is about 600,000... Fortunately, the strength of the undead is obviously not as good as the demons of the Burning Legion, and they are also easier to deal with!"
After looking up at Varian's scarred face for a while, Alextasa truthfully said this number that was enough for everyone here to feel desperate!
Because, what the Azeroth coalition is about to face will be a million evil army composed of demons of the Burning Legion and the undead of the Scourge Legion! This terrifying number is probably more than all the people in the Storm Kingdom combined! After all, the Storm Kingdom has now lost the granary of the Western Wilderness with a huge population base. People from the Diffia Republic will definitely not be counted as Storm Kingdom.
“…”
"Although I'm sorry, I still have to say: Queen Alextasa, I don't seem to see any hope of victory for us? You also know that all of us in the Dragon Bone Wilderness now add up, maybe less than half a million, right?"
Everyone Varian said was the number of Fire Alliance, Stormwind City Alliance, Orc Tribe, Dragon Mile Alliance, etc.! Strictly speaking, if they fight against the demons of the Burning Legion, they are probably at a disadvantage, let alone the Scourge Legion that has more than 600,000 out of thin air...
The investigation information shows that the Scourge Legion here in Northrend has a large number of elite death knights, hatreds, undead Vicu, frost dragon, crypt demon and other powerful and hideous huge local creatures transformed from, which is not at the same level as the ghouls and skeleton army that were raging on the Lordaeron Continent back then!
“…”
“…”
Hearing Varian's words, both the others in the Storm Alliance, the Horde and the Fire Alliance, they sat silently in their seats. Obviously, most of them agreed with the view of the King of Storm City. This battle made them unable to see the hope of victory. The difference in the number of troops between the two sides was too huge.
"If we have enough time and sufficient energy supply, I can use the two will furnaces that our Explorer Association discovered and mastered on the Storm Cliff to create many iron dwarves or stone dwarves and stone giants... but unfortunately, it may take a long time and a lot of energy!"
"And it's also that the Storm Cliff is too far from here..."
To be continued...
