With sufficient cards in hand, although the three-tribe elven coalition is still at a disadvantage when fighting in the sea, it is impossible for Naga to break through the defense line guarded by Jarod himself in a short time.
According to Azshara's message, the Naga commander who led this large-scale invasion was named Dorothy. She was a staunch Naga of the Ancient Gods and a loyal lackey of N'Zoth.
If fighting on the ground, Dorothy is self-aware, and she dare not say that she can defeat the night elves, an old and powerful clan.
But in the sea at Naga's home court, Dorothy was confident that she could hang up those landlubbers.
The situation in the early stages of the war was indeed as Dorothy expected. Facing the crazy attack of Naga, even with the assistance of the Hydraxia water element, the night elves were still retreating steadily.
Hela's seal has isolated the connection between the elemental world and the material world. Most of the elements left in Azeroth are "wild" and are not direct descendants of the four kings of elements.
Of course, the strength of these wild elements without inheritance will naturally not be much stronger.
Although the water elements of Storm Bay are nominally subordinate to Duke Hydraxis, they are not the core elite of Hydraxia and can only be regarded as peripheral members at best.
These weak water elements can cope with a small number of Naga cannon fodder troops, but when faced with an excessive number of low-level Nagas or Naga elites, they are unable to cope.
At the beginning of the war, it was no surprise that it showed a one-sided trend, and Dorothy's troops pushed forward the front line in an overwhelming manner.
It wasn't until Jarod hurried from the capital Andarius to the front line to take personal command that the night elves' defeat improved.
But it was only a slight improvement. Jarod relied on unexpected arrangements to trick Naga several times.
Unfortunately, due to insufficient cards in his hand, he was unable to turn things around. He could only barely maintain the last line of defense in the outer sea and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
This sea battle with Naga taught the night elves, who had always claimed to be the overlord of Kalimdor, a lesson. The huge gap in underwater combat power sounded the alarm to the top night elves, including Malfurion.
Dorothy is just one of many Naga commanders. You know with your butt that even if her army is repulsed, there is still a high probability that she will fight with other Naga commanders in the sea in the future.
Before the war was over, Jarod informed Malfurion with an urgent document, asking him to seize the time to establish an underwater combat force and equip these warriors with corresponding weapons.
Due to the existence of the druid's aquatic form, the night elves' underwater combat power is not a blank slate.
However, compared to the huge population base of the night elves, there are only a few people who can become druids, and those who are good at water warfare are even rarer.
Within the Cenarion Circle, there are secondary organizations such as the Claw Druids Association, the Raptor Druids Association, the Healing House, and the Guardian Heart, but there is no exclusive department related to the aquatic form. This shows that the Druids
How little attention is paid to this.
The Republic of Darkness, founded by former Dark Night Empire civilians such as Malfurion and Tyrande, was inherently in opposition to the Dark Night Empire led by Azshara.
Even if Sharlayan can persuade Azshara to betray N'Zoth with her sharp tongue, the Naga Empire led by Azshara will never be on good terms with the night elves. The identities and positions of both parties determine
They will never be as close as a family.
In other words, no matter how the current war is won or lost, the night elves will still have plenty of opportunities to compete with Naga in the sea in the future.
After understanding the key, Malfurion immediately agreed to Jarod's suggestion with a stroke of his pen and quickly began to prepare a new underwater combat force.
But saying it is one thing and doing it is another.
The preparation of underwater combat forces is related to the entire industrial chain, from material selection, training to equipment manufacturing, etc., each link requires a large amount of manpower and material resources.
If you develop from scratch, there will inevitably be a lot of trial and error costs.
That is to say, Sarlayan was prepared in advance and relied on his status as the Sun King's senior advisor to open up all the joints in advance, otherwise the dragon army would not be formed so quickly.
Distant water cannot save nearby fire. The night elves' domestic underwater combat troops and corresponding equipment cannot be produced in three days or two.
Since Quel'Thalas has already come up with a mature answer first, it is much better to directly learn their plan than to cross the river by feeling the stones.
Of course, the prerequisite for learning is that you must first understand the unique tactics and equipment principles of the Dragon Legion.
In terms of underwater combat tactics, Jarod, a talented commander, can steal lessons on the spot.
But when it comes to equipment manufacturing, Garrod can be said to be a master of nine things and a master of none.
In order to understand the mature underwater combat equipment system that Quel'Thalas has developed, it is inevitable to purchase large quantities of finished products.
On the one hand, it can relieve the immediate urgent need, and on the other hand, it can also intercept part of the equipment for experts in related industries to study carefully and strive to imitate the finished product as soon as possible.
Doesn't Sharlayan know what the night elves are planning? That's impossible.
However, he had no intention of continuing to take money from the night elves for underwater combat equipment from the beginning.
Azshara has an arrogant personality, and Sharlayan is not sure what she thinks of the multiple existing elven branch countries and city-states.
Theoretically, Azshara, the Queen of the Night, has the right to claim all elven branch countries. After all, she was originally the Queen of Destiny recognized by all elves, the unique light of light.
However, times have long since passed, and the Dark Night Empire led by Azshara has long since collapsed.
Its legacy has splintered many large and small nations, city-states and organizations, including the Night Republic, Suramar, Syndra and Quel'Thalas.
It is not convenient for Sharlayan to make decisions for other countries, but at least he can clearly express his attitude on behalf of Kael'thas.
Quel'Thalas, which has long been an independent country, will never return to Azshara's rule. The future relationship between Quel'Thalas and the Naga Empire remains to be seen.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In this situation where everything has not yet been determined, Sharlayan still regards Azshara's Naga Empire as the imaginary enemy in the future.
No matter how it develops in the future, because the senior leaders of the Dark Night Republic have some unresolvable conflicts with Azshara, they will always be on the front line against Naga.
The current water warfare strength of the Dark Night Republic is not enough to pose a threat to Naga. In this case, it becomes a matter of course to enhance the underwater warfare capabilities of the Dark Night Republic.
Within a month of waiting for the stone slab to be cracked and transformed, Quel'Thalas, who received the message from Sarlayan, sent several waves of high-speed transport ships across the sea one after another.
Each batch of transport ships is fully loaded with a large amount of logistics materials, mainly three-piece sets of underwater combat equipment that have just been produced.
Sarlayan was not a professional trader, so he handed over all trade with the Dark Night Republic to Finance Minister Solanlian who arrived with the second batch of transport ships.
Speaking of Solanlian's official position, there is a small episode.
When the cabinet was first established, Solanlian was appointed Minister of the Interior by Kael'thas.
The Minister of the Interior is supposed to be the head of all cabinet ministers. Initially, Kael'thas planned to completely remove Dar'Khan as the nominal prime minister and hand over the actual power to lead the cabinet to his confidant Solanlian.
As Darkan could not restrain his desire to regain power and took the initiative to submit to the Sun King, his duties as chief civil minister finally came into effect.
In order to avoid the confusion caused by the overlapping of duties, Kael'thas personally summoned Solanlian to give a sincere explanation.
Since then, Solanlian has been transferred to the position of Minister of Finance, handing over the internal affairs of Lord Quel'Thalas to Dar'Kan.
The Minister of Finance is in charge of the country's money bag and still holds a high position of power. Only high-ranking nobles like Solanlian who have surrendered to the royal family early can be safely granted the position of Minister of Finance.
Although Darkan's personality is not trustworthy, it must be said that his ability is really strong.
When Solanlian was the Minister of the Interior, many things were handled stumblingly.
This is not to say that Solanli is a vegetarian, but that her cold personality is not suitable for a job that requires a lot of communication.
In contrast, Darkan, who has long sleeves and is good at dancing, quickly became like a duck in water after taking office.
Although his rights were still strictly restricted by Kael'thas, his unsatisfied desire for power was finally temporarily satisfied.
Everything has pros and cons.
Darkan, who regained power, did manage the new cabinet in an orderly manner, but the power he held further fueled the ambition buried in his heart.
Whether it is Darkan himself or Kael'thas who temporarily chooses to use him, both sides know that sooner or later they will have a falling out with each other. When the time comes, it will depend on who is more prepared and has more cards in hand.
Twenty-five days after Solanlian arrived from Quel'Thalas in person, Stellagosa suddenly arrived at the battlefield, bringing the good news that Thalayan and others had been waiting for.
The Royal Arcane Society's analysis and transformation of the Summoning Technique of the King of Elements has finally been successfully completed.
