28. Pre-war preparations

"As of yesterday's count, the number of soldiers recruited by the Anti-Insect Front Coalition from various forces has reached 250,000. The Hot Sand Consortium used an airship formation to transport the last batch of support weapons early this morning and distributed them to the entire army.

After that, the coverage rate of thermal weapons will reach 80%. The wither druids have established a good backup base in Un'Goro Crater. The reserves of healing potions, bandages, antidotes and first aid medicines are enough for the entire army to use 1

For a month.”

General Halford Wymbane of the Seventh Army was the first commander to arrive in Silithus. He was also responsible for the liaison between the front line and the logistics base. On the eve of the large-scale battle, he was responsible for his duties.

giving a strategic report in front of the coalition commander.

The results of the Insect front that captured Tanaris first proved that Supreme Commander Staghelit's strategy was correct. All forces on the mainland saw the threat of the Insects from this war, and this victory inspired them.

boosted their fighting spirit.

In other words, the result of the war in Tanaris broke the myth of the invincibility of the Insects... Although the coalition forces knew very well that there were many accidental factors involved in this victory, the actual victory cannot be ignored.

Even the most stingy goblin consortium increased their support for the coalition after that battle. The goblins, who are very calculating, know very well that if the Silithus war adjacent to Tanaris cannot be resolved,

, then the Southern Continent business circle that they spent a lot of effort to establish will suffer a devastating blow. Losing lives is not a big deal, but losing money is very fatal.

Faced with this kind of threat that does not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, even the stingy goblins have to make the choice to fully support the coalition forces. The human empire, which is slowly recovering its strength, has not mobilized militia this time, which is a big problem for the order of the empire.

It was a huge burden, but as compensation, in addition to sending several elite legions, the Empire also shouldered the logistical pressure of the coalition forces together with the Wither Druids.

A steady stream of food, minerals and furs are transported to the crater logistics base. The collection of war materials in the country will undoubtedly affect the people's low living standards. However, after seeing the ferocity of the bugs in the Shining Plains with their own eyes, the honest people of the empire have long since

Being frightened, coupled with the fact that the propaganda system constantly exaggerates the importance of frontline war and the horrific situation if it fails, most people still have a general understanding.

After all, after losing their ancestral land and witnessing the horror of large-scale war, the demands of the people who have just regained peace cannot be considered too high.

"Commander Staghelm, let's be honest."

Just when Halford wanted to elaborate on the current situation of the coalition forces, the grey-haired but muscular veteran warrior Brox Saurfang, the orc warlord who had just arrived yesterday, knocked on the table.

The orc, who has been fighting for his whole life, doesn't like hearing these white-washed words. He stared at the human general:

"Let's focus on our shortcomings. When it comes to war, we can't just look at paper data."

This statement was immediately approved by other commanders. Everyone had seen with their own eyes the way the bugs launched an attack. Under that kind of bug sea tactics, any flaws on the defensive side would be magnified without limit and eventually become the cause of defeat. This

It is a detail issue that generals who have actually fought in war cannot ignore.

Faced with the requests of other commanders, General Halfer shrugged. He didn't care much about being questioned. After all, the people in front of him were here to pursue victory. Therefore, after a moment of preparation, Halfer coughed lightly.

made a sound:

"The two most important problems currently faced by the coalition forces. First of all, some of our troops are not proficient in the use of thermal weapons and cannot effectively form combat effectiveness. Although the large number of wild boars are brave and warlike,

But their intelligence is low, and using firearms is a challenge for them. And..."

Halford couldn't help but glance at General Shandris Feathermoon and local commander Marlis who were sitting on the edge. He said with some embarrassment:

"The Night Elf Sentinels are very resistant to the use of thermal weapons. They prefer the bows and arrows and moon blades in their hands. Although it has been proven in several encounters that thermal weapons are more lethal, I hope that General Feather Moon and Marly will

Commander Si, can you do some ideological work for the soldiers under your command... After all, the current situation is not the time to talk about tradition."

"This is not a matter of tradition, General Halfor."

Shandis Yuyue answered directly:

"We Kaldorei are not old-fashioned, but the firearms used by the human army are not suitable for direct use by sentries... According to my understanding, the reason why my soldiers resist muskets is because of the accuracy of this weapon.

The accuracy is too poor. In terms of precise killing, it is completely inferior to the horned eagle bow we use."

Commander Marlis also added:

"And our sentries are very interested in the continuous-fire muskets with great suppressive firepower... The middle-level commanders believe that using continuous-fire muskets to suppress the enemy, combined with the precise shooting of the horned eagle bow, can be developed into

A new tactic, so I would like to request the coalition forces to allocate more continuous firepower to supplement the Sentinel Corps."

"Well, it's not that it's unacceptable."

Halford hesitated for a moment, then looked at Staghelm sitting in the center. This Archdruid was the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. On this issue, Halver needed Staghelm's opinion, and the latter did not hesitate.

He nodded and said:

"The big businessman Blackso is about to ship the second batch of armaments, and the Sentinel Legion's request can be met. According to our strategic plan, the Sentinel Legion will not undertake frontal offensive tasks. Therefore, they have enough time to practice new tactics."

"OK."

Halford nodded, the orc warlord looked around, raised his hand, and said:

"Now that we've talked about this issue, as an orc commander, I also want to get some new weapons for my boys... We don't need continuous muskets. We can't serve such delicate things. Give us more

Some powerful shotguns, bombs, or flamethrowers, this special weapon is perfect for our boys to fight head-on against charging bugs on the front lines."

"Okay! We will combine the Tauren troops and the Orc troops. The grinder machine guns issued by the Tauren can just make up for your slightly insufficient firepower, and the responsibility of frontal charge belongs to the Wild Boar Legion. In the wilderness

Led by the demigod Agamaggan, these fanatical and arrogant warriors wearing heavy armor can completely block the charge of the insect men head-on. Moreover, their reproductive capacity is super strong, and the battle damage on the frontal battlefield will not affect them.

civilization."

"What a useful heavy infantryman!"

Halford sighed with emotion, and then quickly recorded the different requirements of each legion in his notebook. This will be the last change of clothes after the actual advance to the battlefield of Silithus.

"There is a second question. After the Quicksand Scepter is repaired, we will fight close to the Beetle Wall. The first phase of the battle goal is to seize the Qiraji ruins behind the Beetle Wall as an advance base, but before that

, the trouble we need to solve is the three large insect nests in the Silithus Desert!"

Halver pointed at the huge map hanging behind him with the teaching stick, and explained the current situation in Silithus to the commanders in front of him:

"Most of the Yash Hive closest to the Silithus Fortress has been destroyed by the joint attack of the Seventh Legion and the Sentinels, but the remaining two hives, the Rego Hive and the Zora Hive, are still very large.

If we can't clear out these two insect nests before the beetles arrive, we will face the danger of being attacked from both sides."

The general of the Seventh Army increased his voice:

"What I want to emphasize is that according to our experience in the Ash Hive, there are at least more than 150,000 bugs in these two hives. I hope that the Orc Legion and the Feather Moon Sentinels who have just arrived will shoulder their responsibilities.

Clearing out these two insect nests for the coalition forces is also a training exercise. Of course, the coalition forces will provide you with enough explosives... If necessary, the artillery of the Seventh Army will also help."

Halford looked at the orc governor and the elf general. He thought for a while and said in a gentle and serious tone:

"It's not that I don't believe in the combat effectiveness of both of you, but after the application of a large number of thermal weapons in warfare, a brand new war mode has arrived. This brand new war is more cruel, brutal and terrifying than the war mode of any previous era.

The rhythm will eliminate the ancient concept of war, and the human empire has barely mastered some of the essence of this model only after suffering a heavy price."

"As members of the anti-bug front, the Empire is willing to hand over the knowledge we have learned at great cost to our allies in the coalition. I hope that in the next 7-10 days, we can work together to subvert the bugs."

The battle of the nest is a stage of getting closer to each other. We are all here to defeat the bugs. I hope that we will not be affected by some unpleasant things in the past."

After the general of the Seventh Legion finished speaking, his eyes also fell on the orc warlord. Of course Brox Saurfang understood what Halfor meant. He looked at the human general's eyes and nodded:

"The orcs are not afraid of war, and we are not afraid of peace... We have seen the terrible war across the sea. Although it is only a glimpse of the battlefield, the orcs are willing to learn this kind of war civilization."

After speaking, he shrugged:

"Of course, after beating the buggers, I will also treat you to a drink...in return."

———————————————————————

In the Great Desert of Silithus, while the anti-insect coalition forces began to prepare for war intensively, in Stormwind City, the core of the rule of the Eastern Continent and an important city of federal civilization, the great lord who had finished his vacation was also preparing for another war.

.

"Let me go with you, High Lord."

Yrel held a black assault rifle in each hand. She stood in front of Tyrion who said nothing, and said to the silent high lord who was assembling the firearms with both hands:

"I am also responsible for Yuna's disappearance, and I also want to do something for the child."

Tyrion seemed not to have heard Yrel's words. He picked up the machine spring, put it into the black pistol, installed a few more parts, and then pulled the bolt back.

"Click"

With a crisp sound, this large-caliber rapid-fire pistol was assembled.

Tyrion picked up the flavored cigar. As the blue smoke rose, the lord used two fingers to twist the bullets in the bullet box on the table. These were silver-white bullets on the shells.

It was engraved with some special runes, and when the lord's fingers touched it, a strange, ashes-like thing rose up from his fingers.

Those were traces of the undead's body being burned by the holy silver. Of course, for an undead like Tyrion, this kind of burning was nothing to mention. He couldn't even feel the sting.

He placed the unique-shaped holy silver bullet in front of his eyes and looked at it, with a ray of light shining in his ice-blue eyes.

Tyrion has also read the original version of the "Silver Ash Scripture", so he also knows how to make this unique equipment of the Ash Knight. This thing is mixed with specially processed holy silver and is effective against any creature with negative energy.

It has great lethality. In the realm of death, which will be deprived of all external power, even a being as powerful as Tyrion still needs these additional equipment to provide him with new combat power.

"ding dong"

The holy silver bullet was thrown on the table. Tyrion leaned back in the black velvet chair, crossed his legs, and lazily put his left hand on the armrest. Through the rising smoke, he looked at him with a guilty look on his face.

Yrel, he said in a hoarse voice:

"It doesn't need to be like this, Yrel, Yuna's disappearance is not your problem... This day will come sooner or later. It's a pity that after it comes, I still fail to understand the problems that this world of death has left me.

.”

"The crown...what the hell does this damn crown mean?"

When Yrel saw the high lord mumbling to himself, she knew that the high lord had made up his mind, so she stopped talking and put the weapon in her hand on the table in front of Tyrion, which was already full of food.

It has obtained several of the most advanced weapons in the Black Iron Zone, and they have all been modified by master craftsmen and can be used to fire special holy silver bullets.

There are also several special grenades on it, which are special creations wrapped with several layers of extremely compressed holy water outside the explosive. Once this thing explodes on the spot, if the distance is too close, even Yrel will die.

The lord will also be burned. If it weren't for the fact that the lord wanted to take the risk of entering the realm of death without a guide, this kind of thing that was incompatible with the undead would never have been made.

"Great Lord, do you really want to take the risk? Is the Realm of Death really that important?"

Yrel asked one last question when he left. Hearing this question, Tyrion opened his eyes and looked at Yrel seriously:

"To us, Yrel, the Realm of Death is nothing, but it also represents everything..."

"That is the future I have prepared for the entire Dark Blade!"

"We will no longer have to wander around, that is our final destination... Admittedly, without my guide, I don't know what I should do in the world of death..."

"But at least I know..."

"What can I do!"
