Magni's thinking was still too simple. Although the number of enhanced fire elements was only 800, their combat effectiveness far exceeded that of a conventional army.
Even with its high-end combat capabilities, the coalition had to mobilize more than 5,000 troops to defeat them, and it also caused a lot of casualties.
After an arduous victory over this elemental army, Little Lager, guarded by a dense group of fire elemental servants, walked out of the ancient city of Petra with great momentum, and issued a very wild provocation to the coalition forces.
"Today's attack is just a warning. I believe you have all felt how powerful my army is.
As long as I am willing, these fire elements under my command can be transformed into elemental giants by me! Surrendering to the King of Fire Demon and giving up the land here is your wisest choice!"
Little Rag's voice was still so childish, but his words deeply shocked the coalition forces.
There are more than thousands of fire elements swarming under its command. If these fire elements are all transformed into elemental giants, can any army in the real world really be able to resist it?
After putting down the threats, Little Rag returned to the ancient city of Petra with his elemental army.
After the worried commanders returned to their headquarters, they immediately held a military meeting. In addition to the five members of the high command, other senior commanders were also present.
"This must be a bluff. The process of transforming the fire element is definitely not that simple."
After the commanders took their seats, Magni said he would talk first.
"I agree with the views of the Bronzebeard Dwarf King."
At this time Crassus also spoke.
"I also tend to think that Little Rag is bluffing. If he could create an army so easily, the elements would not have lost to the guardians in ancient times."
Although he is not familiar with the elements, Krasus also saw the Titan Guardians with his own eyes when he was young, and even in every corner of the world today, you can see those ancient Titan creations and ancient giants. Through comparison, it is roughly
We can infer the strength of the elemental army in ancient times.
Although it is known that the elements are very powerful, it is definitely not as exaggerated as Little Rag said.
"Everyone is right, this elemental army is not as powerful as it looks."
At this moment, Munn and Drek'Thar arrived together, holding several damaged elemental cores in the hands of the two shamans.
The two elder shamans appeared in the conference room, and almost all the commanders stood up to express their respects. Krasus looked at Munn who spoke.
"Mun Shaman, what do you mean? Can you explain it to us?"
Mu En nodded slightly to the Red Dragon Prince, and then placed the elemental core in his hand on the table.
"These are the strengthened fire element cores we collected from the battlefield. They are all severely damaged."
The commanders subconsciously thought that these elemental cores were damaged in the battle with the coalition forces, but then they thought that if it was really that simple, how could it be worth the special trip of two shamans?
"They were not damaged during the battle with coalition forces, but were severely damaged before the battle."
Antonidas reached out and picked up a core. The elemental core of Dalaran was a very precious magical material, but the Archmage didn't quite understand what the shamans meant by taking it out.
"Does this mean anything?"
"What is wrapped in the core is the soul of the element. Damage to the core means that the soul of the element has been broken. We guess that the elements gain such powerful power not without a price.
This is a one-time power, which means that once the elements are strengthened, they will be short-lived even if they do not fight us, and they will collapse on their own after a period of time."
After Mu En finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up.
"Haha, that means the elemental army is just a consumable? It cannot be accumulated?"
Kurdran took a deep breath and showed a more relaxed expression on his face.
"Yes, it can be understood that way."
Drek'Thar also said with a smile.
Everyone felt that the weight on their hearts was a little lighter. The previous heavy pressure from the enhanced elemental army really made the coalition forces a little breathless.
"Hey, after all, Little Rag is just a part of the soul of the Fire Demon King. He has a little wisdom but is very limited. He can't even brag or play back his farts.
It never thought that with the elder shamans here, our lies would eventually be exposed?"
After all, he is an optimist. A piece of good news in a difficult situation can make him optimistic. In contrast, Li De is much more rational.
"Although we know that Little Rag cannot be infinitely strengthened, its combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated and we still cannot take it lightly."
Having said this, Li De turned his attention to Munn and Drek'Thar.
Mu En understood what Li De wanted to ask and immediately answered clearly.
"Through communication with the Drek'Thar shaman in the past two days, our research on elements has made some progress. I believe we will find the answer soon."
Hearing what Lao Niu Shaman said, Li De nodded.
"Very good, then we won't delay the shaman's research. Thank you both for sending such crucial information."
After Munn and Drek'Thar left, the military meeting between Reed and others continued.
"Although the elemental troops were completely wiped out in today's battle, our casualties were also very high. Small Rag can't infinitely strengthen the elements, which shows that in the subsequent battles, the giant elements are still equivalent to special forces.
Our troops can fight against ordinary elements and compress the enemy's living space, but it is unwise to use conventional troops against the enemy's reinforced troops.
My suggestion is to gather everyone’s elite strength and technology to create a special force with strong combat effectiveness. In this way, in the subsequent battle to counterattack the ancient city of Petra, even in a small scene, the advance can be completed smoothly, instead of
A vain waste of troops."
"I agree with Li De's point of view. In fact, I have similar thoughts. Ice spells are quite effective against fire elements other than Little Rag.
The number of mage troops in Dalaran is limited, but we can enchant weapons and equipment so that more soldiers can use ice magic to fight."
Antonidas took Li De's words and made everyone look at the Archmage in a different light.
Anyone who is familiar with Antonidas knows that this great wizard has always been very cautious about the spread of magic. Today, he would take the initiative to make enchanted equipment, which many people did not expect.
Antonidas also had no choice but to do so. Since the coalition forces gathered, everyone has seen the power of magic, and many people have had some thoughts about magic.
There will even be people from other armies who contact the mage privately and request to learn spells.
Most mages sternly refused this request, but they were afraid that some mages would be unstable and spread the magic.
As for these private requests, it was okay to say that Antonidas was most afraid that if this situation continued, someone at the commander-level would request the spread of magic.
If it really comes to that, Antonidas doesn't know how to refuse. After all, ice spells are quite effective against the fire element, and fighting against the fire element is the main conflict at the moment.
Thinking of this, Antonidas decided to do the next best thing and take the initiative to propose diffusion enchanted weapons, which would be more controllable than diffusion magic itself.
Faced with everyone's thanks, Antonidas certainly would not explain the details, but then the Archmage continued.
"When it comes to manufacturing enchanted equipment, the quality of the equipment currently used in the army varies and is not suitable for direct enchantment, so a batch of equipment specifically for enchantment must be produced."
After Antonidas finished speaking, everyone looked at Magni. The Bronzebeard dwarf's forging technology was the strongest.
Magni naturally understood why everyone looked at him, but he said it a little awkwardly.
"At least seven of the ten Bronzebeard dwarves are excellent blacksmiths. This sentence is true. However, forging weapons and equipment is not that easy. It is easy for us to provide blacksmiths, but we lack raw materials and tools and there is nothing we can do.
Producing equipment out of thin air."
At this point Li De laughed.
"Has His Majesty Magni forgotten where we are? This is the Protectorate of the Vast Sea. We have the largest reserves of high-quality ore and the largest factory. We are happy to provide raw materials and production lines, and are eager to cooperate with the forging masters of Ironforge.
