Chapter 1383 Preparations before the Hinterland War
Onyxia had a great time that night, and she slept until noon the next day before slowly getting up with a yawn.
Others are not as lazy as her.
Stellagosa got up early and came to Sarlayan's office to continue performing her duties as chief secretary.
Jaina returned to Dalaran early in the morning with Sharlayan's mission, and I'm afraid she might have to talk a lot afterwards.
Since Little Xingxing was busy dealing with the backlog of official duties in the territory, she temporarily left Tinagosa's daily homework to Valeela to supervise.
In this family, only Stella Gosa was the strictest towards little Tina, and everyone else wanted to pamper this girl to the sky.
However, with Stellagosa's commission on her shoulders, Valeera still kept a straight face and competed with Tinagosa in the training ground in the name of honing her actual combat abilities.
Sarlayan, who has the blood of the red dragon, has extremely strong vitality. After the battle last night, he was able to go out and do business in the morning feeling refreshed. However, Onyxia, who is also in good physical condition, was in a daze.
I slept until noon.
After several months of research and verification, the National Defense Weapons Research Institute sent an unknown number of design drawings of the armored fighting vehicle to Saryan's desk.
According to Danmaku, the appearance of the latest version of the armored vehicle is very close to the armored vehicle from another world that they are familiar with, but it is different in artistic design such as patterns and edges.
Yes, art design.
Even if they emphasize simple and practical war weapons, the designers of Quel'Thalas still can't restrain their artistic instincts cultivated since childhood, and will more or less include some private goods in the design drawings.
Sharlayan was quite critical of this, but Kael'thas believed that this minor problem was innocuous. After all, he still had to make some features to let outsiders see that this was a war weapon of Quel'Thalas.
Since the Sun King has spoken so eloquently, Sarlayan can't say much.
Anyway, the armored vehicles at this stage are still only in the design drawing and trial works stage.
When it comes time to put it into mass production, if those guys who like to bring in private goods cannot maintain quality and quantity, Sarlayan will inevitably have something to say.
Although the design and production of the tracks have been completed, in order to ensure mobility, the latest version of the armored vehicle design still uses tires.
Depending on the weapons carried by the vehicle, the chassis of various types of armored vehicles are slightly different, ranging from four wheels to six wheels.
The larger the caliber of the weapon, the higher the stability requirements for the lower plate.
The most mature version currently is the machine gun armored vehicle. After being tested in actual combat exercises by the Sunfury Legion directly under the Sun King, it has been determined that it can be put into practical use at any time.
Self-propelled artillery armored vehicles equipped with magic cannons also need to solve the energy supply problem.
After all, the main function of these vehicles is for offense. If it is just to defend the homeland, there is not a high demand for mounting magic cannons on vehicles to move and fire.
If you want to leave Quel'Thalas to fight, the self-propelled artillery vehicle that cannot get the energy supply from the sun well must consider the issue of ammunition supply.
The specific situation still requires researchers to communicate directly with the tank soldiers who actually operate the armored vehicles. Research on this new weapon that breaks the old battlefield pattern cannot be rushed.
After inspecting the latest achievements of the Weapons Research Institute, Sarlayan was invited to the Sunstrider Court to meet with Kael'thas.
I don’t know whether it’s because of the nourishment of love or simply a healthier lifestyle, but Kael’thas’s face looks much rosier than when he worked crazy overtime in previous years.
"As expected, someone still needs to be in charge."
Sarlayan jokingly said to Kael'thas: "Your complexion looks much better than before. That's right. The work is endless, and the right balance between work and rest is right."
Kael'thas complained angrily: "You have the nerve to accuse me? Can you strictly implement the concept of combining work and rest?"
Sarlayan smiled and shrugged: "After all, I have dragon blood, and my body is much more resistant than yours. It's not a big deal for me not to sleep for ten and a half months, but it's not like that for you."
Kael'thas smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "Yes, yes, let's not talk about this disappointing topic for now."
"I heard that you plan to officially attack the Hinterlands?" Kael'thas quickly straightened his expression when he mentioned this topic: "Do you have a detailed plan?"
Sarlayan also retracted his joking attitude and nodded solemnly: "I have already revealed this idea to Falstad and Kurdran."
"Kudran is now one of the representatives of the Three Hammers Council and a high-ranking official in the Kingdom of Khaz Modan. He cannot blatantly use the resources of the entire kingdom to benefit the Wildhammer clan."
"However, according to what Kurdran said in the letter, the Black Iron representatives and the Bronzebeard representatives are not opposed to the Wildhammer clan using its own troops to quell the situation in the Hinterlands."
Kael'thas muttered knowingly: "In other words, the Wildhammer clan can act cheaply. This is good news."
After the three dwarf clans merged into one, the three clans with different specialties cooperated with each other, which significantly improved the national power of the Kingdom of Khaz Modan.
But on the other hand, the autonomy of each clan has inevitably been affected.
Before the Battle of Northeron began, the Wildhammer clan reported in advance to the Three Hammers Council in Ironforge.
Moreover, this war is essentially a defensive war, because Northeron has always been the inherent territory of the Wildhammer dwarves, and the Dragonmaw clan is the external intruder.
The upcoming Battle of the Hinterlands is different. Strictly speaking, the forest trolls are the original inhabitants of this land, and the Wildhammer clan is a latecomer.
However, Azeroth is a world that relies on strength after all. If the Wildhammer clan is confident enough to defeat the Vilebranch trolls who are busy dealing with their powerful kin, the Three Hammers Council will be happy to see it happen.
After all, if more land in the Hinterlands can be captured, it will also be a huge contribution to the expansion of territory for the representatives of the Three Hammers Council.
The Wildhammer dwarves and the Vilebranch trolls have been fighting in the Hinterlands for many years. So far, the comparison of combat power between the two sides is basically in a state of balance, and neither one can do anything to defeat the other.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The deadwood troll attracted by Sarlayan's trick is an important tool to break the balance. The key to this battle is not the number of troops, but the Wildhammer...or the alliance.
The timing of the army's entry.
Although the only countries participating in this local war are Khaz Modan and Quel'Thalas for the time being, both are members of the Alliance after all, so there is no problem in saying that the Alliance troops are going out.
However, since the plan has not yet been fully finalized, Kael'thas has not yet submitted a formal report to Lordaeron, the host country of the alliance.
Saryan does not need to worry about these political issues. His task is to ensure that this local war can be won at the lowest possible cost.
"Witherwood trolls and evil branch trolls are fighting fiercely in the troll-controlled areas of the southern Hinterlands."
Sarlayan walked to the huge map hanging in Kael'thas's study and pointed at it and said: "When the Evil Branch Troll focused its main attention on other small and medium-sized troll clans in the Hinterlands, the Deadwood Troll caught him by surprise.
The raid captured Shadraro."
"The reaction speed of the Evil Branch Trolls is not slow. They rushed back their troops from the Shalvasa and Wanghai Cliff areas in the east before the powerful army of Deadwood Trolls invaded the Altar of Zul."
"The Vilebranch Trolls originally wanted to concentrate their forces to capture the Stormfeather Outpost established by the Wildhammer dwarves in southern Seradan, but the sudden backstab from the Witherwood Trolls disrupted their plan."
Sarlayan's finger drew a circle in the northern part of the Hinterlands: "While the two forest troll clans were busy with civil war, Falstad quietly connected the three strongholds of Eagle's Nest Mountain, Quel'danil and Stormfeather.
We have become a frontline, and we are currently clearing out a large number of ooze monsters near the Hidden Stone."
"Before Stellagosa returned from Northrend, she made a special trip to Wyrmrest Temple to say hello to Ysera."
"Ysera made a promise on behalf of the green dragon clan that Seradan's dream guardians would not easily intervene in this dispute between mortals, but..."
A meaningful smile appeared on Sarlayan's lips: "I heard that among the four guardians of the dream, Lethorn, who is responsible for Seradan in the Hinterlands, is very dissatisfied with the Evil Branch trolls who wantonly sacrifice human beings."
"Recently, the young dragons under Letorn's command seem to be getting ready to teach the Evil Branch Troll, who has long desecrated life, a small lesson."
"Oh~"
Kael'thas revealed a mysterious smile knowingly: "That's such a pity. You will not be able to survive because of your own misfortune."
