The door of MI7 in New Stormwind City was violently pushed open. A middle-aged man wearing a cowboy hat and uniform grabbed a stack of documents and broke into the office under the watchful eyes of other busy intelligence analysis agents.
In Master Er's office.
"Something happened."
The agent placed the document in his hand on the desk in front of Shaw, and the assassin master put down the razor in his hand. He rubbed his cheek while opening the document. The first line at the beginning read,
Er's eyes narrowed suddenly.
"When did it happen?"
He raised his head and the agent in front of him gestured with his fingers:
"Thirty minutes ago, the frontline soldiers of the Seventh Legion lost all their positions. Fortunately, the goblins' airship rescued them before the insects encircled them. The loss of personnel was not much, but the missing ones may have been..."
"Goblin?"
Shore shook his head:
"When did the Hot Sand Consortium become so friendly to the Empire? They even took the initiative to send airships to rescue our soldiers. It doesn't seem right."
"They're not friendly, head."
The agent wearing a cowboy hat showed a dumbfounded expression, took out a piece of paper from his pocket and placed it on the document:
"They charge... 200 gold coins for each soldier. For this evacuation alone, we have to pay them more than 50,000 gold coins. However, the goblins have released news that the money can be settled in another way.
, and they are willing to provide us with enough weapons and gunpowder at a 30% discount until the insect trouble in the Tanaris Desert is completely solved..."
"The goblins are scared."
Shore threw the magic image in his hand on the table. The image was a picture of the ground taken by the mages of the Seventh Legion when they evacuated. In the unclear image, the rolling yellow sand was covered with black insects.
The scene is enough to make anyone lose interest in having lunch.
The Master Assassin leaned back on the office chair. He picked up the razor again and began to tidy up his appearance. In the process, his eyes were shining with light of thought.
"The Steamwheedle Consortium obviously wants to take this opportunity to re-establish good relations with us, and their proactive overtures seem to represent a deeper meaning... Perhaps the group of green-skinned dwarves saw the threat of the insect-men, and they
Want to "hire" us, just like they hired those mercenaries, etc... I get it!"
Shore's eyes closed, he turned around in his chair, trimmed his beard without looking back, and said to the agent behind him:
"Has the news reached the other kingdoms?"
"Well, according to your request, this information about the insect people is delivered in real time."
"Very good, advise the kings for me... Immediately send envoys to invite the goblin consortium in Gadgetzan to join the "Kalimdor Anti-Insect Front", and then offer a fierce price to those who want to join us.
The goblins gave more...now they're begging us! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
The master assassin's order was clear to the agent wearing a cowboy hat behind him, but before leaving, he still asked:
"Head, most of the desert is now occupied by insects. Are the agents we sent out trying to shrink their front?"
"Um?"
Xiao, who was shaving, heard the stupid question asked by his subordinates. He frowned and said:
"Why withdraw?"
"When the bugs come out in full force, doesn't it mean that the bug nest deep in the Great Rift is empty? Isn't now the time for the agents to show off their skills? Assemble all the high-level agents we have now, bring enough explosives and
Destructive devices, form them into a special agent team! Well, let's call it "Thunder Agent Team"."
"Pa"
Shore stroked his smooth chin, put the sharp razor aside, and said softly:
"I will personally take them... to give the bugs a... "surprise"!"

The green, heavy wooden boxes were moved from the black steam truck by the human soldiers and piled neatly on the training ground at the southern end of the Shining Plains. This was originally the training ground of the Seventh Legion, and now it was urgently recruited as the training ground of the Seventh Army.
A temporary camp for a group of coalition forces rushing to the Tanaris Desert.
To be precise, the combined force was only a special force established five days ago. Its purpose was to deal with the growing insect threat in the Tanaris Desert. This force included members of the Seventh Legion of the Kingdom of Stormwind.
Combat Regiment, the prestigious Gray Wolf Brigade of the Kingdom of Gilneas, the Royal Knights of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and the highland swordsmen from Stromgard.
These are some of the most famous troops of the Human Empire, and there is also a "death row force" composed of centaur prisoners. In addition, there are some special "members".
The Wither Druids who know the bugs extremely well are mostly night elves, a force of the Blackstone clan sent by the tribe, commanded by the young warlords Thrall and Garrosh, and hundreds of headhunters of the Darkspear Trolls.
They and the tall tauren warriors from the Mulgore Plains, these are the strongest warriors in Kalimdor and even Azeroth. Although they are small in number, no one dares to underestimate them.
Finally, there is a secret and powerful power...the wilderness demigod Agamaggan, this mysterious and powerful creature signaled thousands of quilboar warriors to join this army, and according to the Wither Patriarch, in
When necessary, the wilderness demigod will even appear on the battlefield in person.
The "Anti-Insect Front" led by the Human Empire and organized in Kalimdor, this temporary group to deal with disasters, just identified the commander of this operation 1 day ago... That was a man who was 1,000 years ago.
Night elves who have experienced the battle of quicksand.
Fandral Staghelm!
Of course, after this decision was made, it was opposed by both the human empire and the tribes. However, since the human empire could not produce a commander who was influential enough among all tribes, the kings were too young.
Not only are other races worried, but even the kings themselves are worried about themselves. After all, this is a grand multi-racial joint war.
Uther, the only remaining high knight who was originally most suitable for this position, had gone to Northrend to take over the command of His Majesty Arthas in the Borean Tundra half a month ago. On the orc side, because of the war chief and the chiefs,
A decision has not yet been made on whether to join the "Great War of Silithus", so it is impossible to let the orcs, who are extremely good at fighting, command the legions.
In the end, with the coordination of several parties, because the opponents could not come up with a replacement, they could only let the revengeful Staghelm become the commander-in-chief of the joint forces. However, at least Staghelit also commanded Cardo 1000 years ago.
Lei's army is unmatched in its fight against the bugs, at least in terms of qualifications. Coupled with the temporary counterattack of the Tanaris bugs, under the influence of various factors, the participants in the anti-bug front are also
I could only hold my nose and admit the situation.
The first batch of joint force soldiers are about to go to the desert battlefield. These soldiers have not even gotten along with each other. No one knows how much combat effectiveness they can exert, but the bugs did not give the members of the anti-bug front line much to think about.
Time, now no matter how prepared they are, they are going to start fighting the bugs.
Fortunately, these untested warriors don't need to fight in close combat with vicious insects.
"Click"
The big arms dealer Heisuo, the goblin riding on the shoulders of the giant monster, commanded the human soldiers behind him to open the green wooden boxes, revealing the weapons shining with steel. These weapons were accumulated before the production capacity upgrade in the Black Iron Zone.
A downgraded product, it is not the same as the one used by the Dark Blade infantry, but it is enough for the soldiers of Kalimdor whose current engineering level is extremely low.
"What kind of weapon is this? I've never seen it before..."
The young Bain Bloodhoof, the commander of the Tauren troops, looked curiously at the heavy black firearm in the box. It was completely different from the steam repeater gun he had used before, which was developed by the Human Empire. This weapon had
It has a strong dark blade style, and its appearance is extremely simple. It basically looks like several black iron boxes assembled together.
"This is a "little cutie" that is 10,000 times more useful than the thing in your hand."
Blackso took the cigar out of his mouth and blew smoke at the tall tauren in front of him, causing Bain to cough and take a few steps back. The tauren waved his hand to scatter the smoke, and then walked up with curiosity.
In front of me, I wanted to pick up the black firearm, but was stopped by the goblin.
"This isn't for you, big guy!"
Blackso screamed:
"These shotguns are for human-sized warriors. They are too light for your size... With your good bodies, you are simply born to be battlefield butchers, so Old Heisuo brought them to you.
The best one for you..."
The goblin took a puff of his cigar and snapped his fingers. The troll standing behind him lifted an extra-large one from the green boxes and placed it in front of Bain. The goblin rubbed his hands and showed a philistine expression.
He smiled evilly and said:
"Open it, young people, this is the... "gift" I prepared for you!"
Bain is a very simple tauren. According to the age of the tauren, Chief Kane's only son is just an adult. Without thinking too much, he bent down, opened the wooden box in the expectation of the goblin, and then put
A strange-looking firearm was lifted up. Judging from Bain's expression, this thing seemed too heavy even for a tauren.
The giant firearm in his hand is still dark blade style black, but unlike ordinary shotguns, six black barrels extend out from the front of the black iron cover, like a 6
A barrel was stuck on the body of a gun, and what was even weirder was that on the left hand side of the iron box, there was a twisting lever similar to a pepper grinder.
Bain had never seen such a weird thing. He gripped the twisting rod curiously and shook it up and down. As a result, he saw that as he shook it, the black barrel in front of him also began to rotate rapidly.
"Hey! Don't aim at people, cutie, this thing is very dangerous!"
Black Suo screamed and jumped away from the rotating gun barrel. The communication between the tauren and the goblins also attracted many soldiers who had obtained new weapons, humans holding firearms, elves and ignorant wild boars.
They had never seen this kind of weapon in Bain's hand. They gathered together and discussed in low voices how to use this thing.
On the training ground behind them, the elves and wild boars, who had come into contact with thermal weapons for the first time, were familiarizing themselves with the performance of the firearms in their hands under the guidance of human soldiers.
"Let Heisuo teach you, silly boy."
While the goblin was puffing away, he taught Bain step by step to insert the heavy black magazine into the top of the firearm, then opened the four safeties on the gun, and dispersed the surrounding soldiers. The goblin stood beside the tauren.
By his legs, he pointed to a huge stone 200 yards in front of the training ground.
"Aim at the stone...then shake it hard!"
Bain nodded and placed his left hand on the twisting rod of the weapon. He took a deep breath and began to swing the twisting rod downward. The next moment, in front of the high-speed rotating black barrel, a terrifying bullet fired.
The storm made a sound like thunder and tearing cloth, like flying sharp arrows, shooting at the huge rocks in front of you crazily.
In just 3 seconds, a single-shot demo magazine was completely emptied, and the boulder in front of me that required dozens of people to move had turned into debris rolling all over the ground.
This terrifying power stunned all the soldiers, including Bain, and some night elves even closed their eyes and began to pray. These simple forest elves had never seen such a heart-rending weapon.
"Look! This is Lao Hesuo's "gift"!"
Heisuo looked at the dull eyes of the people around him. He flicked the cigarette butt aside proudly, jumped on the ammunition box, spread his arms, and shouted to the soldiers in front of him:
"I call it the "Pepper Grinder", but don't let the harmless name fool you... It fires 800 rounds per minute, can carry armor-piercing, high-explosive and special ammunition, has an effective range of 350 yards, and is powered by human power.
, Of course, if you need it, we can also provide matching steam-driven equipment, but in that case, this thing cannot move freely."
"But so what?"
Heisuo snorted, a cold light shining in his treacherous eyes:
"This thing is more powerful than the low-level artillery you are using now. The most important thing is that it is very cheap...A grinder only costs 10,000 gold coins, and before the bullets run out, I can guarantee that no bug can
If it hurts any of you... once it fires, biu! The end of the bug is coming!"
"This thing... we want 30 units!"
A hoarse voice sounded behind the goblin. Black Suo turned around and saw a stern-faced night elf wearing a robe, holding a wattle stick, and was slowly approaching here, accompanied by the Wither Patriarch.
Lu Gui looked at the "gun" made of metal in front of him. He just learned this term yesterday. In the long years of his life, he rarely paid attention to these "wonderful skills", but now, even this
The powerful druid who has lived for ten thousand years has to admit that the weapons brought by Black Suo have shocked him.
This is the most intuitive sign of the progress of other civilizations during a time when the night elves were indulging in their past glory.
“30 units! That’s great!”
Heisuo clapped his hands, looked at Staghelm, and whispered:
"If you pay the full price, you can get a 10% discount~ Mighty Mr. Staghelit, with all due respect, you need more good things like grinders...and I also have a lot in my hand, come and see with me
Do you see it?"
"I can guarantee that with these good things, the disgusting bugs will definitely die miserably!"
