"Ding~, congratulations to the leader, Whitecaro Soul Walker was inspired by the hero Oracle and will visit Gadgetzan in the near future."
When Eureka's voice rang in his ears, Li De, who was in the midst of a battle summary meeting, was stunned. His mind was spinning rapidly for several times. He really couldn't remember who Whitecaro Soul Walker was.
There was still a meeting going on, so Li De could only put this matter behind him for the time being.
In the battle with Ratchet City, the Hanhai Protectorate could be regarded as a complete victory. In this battle, the investigation and intelligence work that was completely ahead of the local area could be said to have contributed a lot.
The only regret may be that in the Shining Highlands, we only repelled but did not capture Gazlowe.
However, even if he was not captured, Gazlowe's current situation would not be too good. A surprise attack from the direction of Shining Heights is indeed a clever plan, but unfortunately there is no secret at all in front of the Bureau of Geostatistics.
After Gazlowe set off from Ratchet City with his surprise troops, he never expected that his empty rear would also encounter a fierce attack.
"How's the operation going at Calgar?"
"We encountered fierce resistance from the defenders of Ratchet City. Engineering devices can be seen everywhere in the city. At three o'clock yesterday afternoon, Calgar led the wild boar army to invade Ratchet City for the first time. However, in the next dozen hours, the wild boar people again
Was beaten back twice.
Now they have invaded Ratchet City again and are engaging in street battles with the goblins there. Kalga said in the letter that she planned to do the next best thing, not to capture Ratchet City but to block Gazlowe's escape route and capture Kalga alive.
Zluvi.”
Martin Lei read the battle report meticulously, and Li De nodded without saying anything. If he wanted to see the results, he would have to wait until tomorrow at least.
After handling this matter, Li De turned to look at Bigwitz again.
"What's going on with that anti-aircraft unit? They're using weapons I've never seen before."
Bigwitz held a disassembled rocket launcher in both hands, and together with Ritzel Copperbolt, he explained this brand new anti-aircraft weapon to Li De.
"The mechanical structure of this weapon is actually not complicated. What is really noteworthy is its ammunition.
In an era when air power did not appear on the battlefield on a large scale, Kezan's research on preventing and controlling anti-aircraft weapons was only superficial.
For traditional anti-aircraft weapons, in order to shoot the shells into the air, the charge needs to be large enough, which makes the anti-aircraft guns very bulky.
The ammunition of this weapon is very special, and its huge power makes it so light that it can be used as a personal weapon."
Bigwitz's words made Li De's expression suddenly become serious. The goblins have mastered a powerful new explosive. If this explosive is used in all weapons, the alliance will be in danger.
"What exactly is this explosive? Kaya Ore?"
"No, although the Kaya crystal contains huge energy, the Kaya crystal also has its huge flaws. The energy contained in the Kaya crystal is an orderly energy close to arcane magic, and it needs to be used in a way that conforms to its laws.
to release energy.
Once the order inside the crystal is broken, the crystal will collapse instantly and produce a violent explosion.
The uncontrollability of this kind of explosion is unacceptable to goblins, so the application of Kaya crystal can only be stable export, or applied to large weapons, or to charge mechas.
In short, Kaya crystal, which is difficult to cut and process, is not suitable for direct application in ammunition."
This is the first time Li De has heard such a detailed explanation of the Kaya Crystal, but it can be condensed into just one sentence. The power of the individual rocket launcher does not come from the Kaya Crystal.
"The power of this weapon comes from an energy that can only be found in legends: Azerite."
When Bigwitz said this term, his tone was even a little hesitant, because the answer made him tremble.
"Is it really Azerite?! I actually have such a guess, but I never dared to say it just now, Azerite! An energy that only exists in legends."
Ryzel said in a high-pitched voice from the side, and most people in the conference room were a little confused. For them, "Azerite" was just a word with no actual meaning.
Bigwitz knew that laymen would react like this, so he searched through the engineering tomes in his mind and recounted the wisdom of great engineers of the past.
"'Azerite' is a power that only exists in theory. It is likely to come directly from the original power."
Original power!
After hearing Bigwitz's description, everyone realized that the matter was a bit serious. If such a dangerous thing was developed on Kezan Island, this war must end as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Bigwitz then gave everyone relief.
"Judging from the performance of this weapon, Azerite is quite difficult to process, and its energy has not been fully released.
And through the interrogation of those prisoners, we can know that processing such a batch of weapons is basically the limit of Kezan's production capacity.
Not to mention that Corzan can no longer obtain coal from Gnomeregan, and soon they will no longer be able to smelt steel on a large scale and produce heavy weapons suitable for Azerite."
Hearing Bigwitz say this, everyone's hearts fell to the ground.
"After the meeting is over, you will summarize the matters regarding Azerite and make a detailed report. Marshal Dailin and I will discuss it together and decide whether the war will be accelerated."
After arranging such a task for Bigwitz, Li De signaled that today's meeting could end.
However, just after the meeting ended and everyone left one after another, one person inadvertently took half a step back and stayed. The whole process did not disturb anyone walking in front. Even Li De, who had already lowered his head to sort out his notes, was also frightened.
Jump.
"Hey, why is Master Chen still here?"
When Li De asked this question, he noticed that Chen Stormstout's expression was a little unnatural.
"Captain, I'm here to ask you to resign."
Lao Chen's words made Li De a little at a loss.
"Master, are you kidding me? Is it because I usually neglect Master?"
Li De first asked himself whether he had failed to understand others well, but Chen Stormstout's reaction told him that this was obviously not the case.
"Chen Kuifeng has been deeply trusted and valued by the Protector since he joined him. I am very grateful. However, until now, Chen Kuifeng has still not made any achievements. The Sa family thinks that he has no face to stay."
Li De suddenly realized that it was Van Cleef's coming from behind that stimulated Old Chen. Chen Stormstout was not someone who valued fame and fortune, but that didn't mean he didn't pursue it.
Old Chen was not angry that Van Cleef's reputation was higher than his own. What he was really angry with was that he had been here to protect Hanhai for such a long time and yet he was still running around like a headless fly without any recognition from the people of Hanhai.
Thinking of his lofty words in the oracle, Chen Stormstout felt his face getting hot.
"Master, may I ask why Van Cleef has such a reputation today?"
Li De did not persuade him directly, but asked a question. Lao Chen was not sure what the intention was, but he still shook his head frankly to express that he was not sure.
"But he is in a high position? But he is excellent in martial arts?"
Chen Stormstout was even more confused, because neither of the answers seemed similar.
"The gift of Loa and the reputation of a hero are just an opportunity. Since the four years since the Dark Portal, Van Cleef has worked hard and dedicated himself. He should be the first to take credit for all construction work. It has been four years now. Now there are two cities
If the people of one Hong Kong and three places have a place to live, who wouldn’t remember Van Cleef’s achievements?”
After listening to what Li De said, Lao Chen seemed to feel a little more balanced.
"The Sa family understands, please rest assured, Protector, Chen Kuifeng is not jealous of Van Cleef."
Li De shook his head.
"Master, I'm wrong. Li De didn't say this just to show off for Van Cleef. In fact, he wanted to say that a true hero must be useful.
Li De led the refugees of Stormwind City to open up a new world, and Van Cleef had the opportunity to show his talents. If not, Van Cleef would still be a stonemason in Stormwind City today.
A hero like the master, who served the heroes and supported all the people, was a man who made great contributions while opening up new territories.
But Li De looked around and didn't know where to swing his whip, which is why the master is so short of breath as a hero today. The fault is not with the master, but all with Li De."
At this point, the suffocation in Chen Stormstout's chest was gone, and Li De said further.
"The ancient city of Petra has changed the world in Tanaris, and the Protector of the Vast Sea is making great strides forward. I hope you will never abandon us."
Lao Chen had no intention of resigning. Just when he was about to speak, his heart suddenly trembled, and he quickly took a step forward to block Li De.
"Guardian, be careful!"
As he spoke, Lao Chen raised his foot and kicked it directly into the void.
"boom!"
The kick in the void actually felt like it was hitting a real object!
And at the next moment, a sturdy tauren with a snow-white body and a portable oil lamp appeared in front of the two of them out of thin air!
"My name is Whitecaro Soulwalker, good evening to both of you."
