Late at night two days later, Anduin Lothar was rehearsing the battle situation all night long in the newly built Alliance headquarters in Lordaeron. He only felt that his hair was getting less and less.
For the sake of humanity, he definitely wouldn't care about these details.
The only good news recently is that Daelin Proudmoore's fleet showed great power and annihilated an orc landing fleet that attempted to open a second front at sea.
More than 200 large transport ships were sent to the sea to feed the fish for the Kul Tiran First Fleet.
Daelin also specially asked people to board the ship, robbed several orc warships and troop transports, and brought them back for study. Then a group of navigation experts reduced the orc warships to nothing.
"Other than the heavy load capacity, this thing is garbage."
A fully loaded troop carrier, driven solely by oars, can only run 4 knots at sea. It is not very wind-resistant. Once it encounters a strong wind blowing from the side, there is a high chance of capsizing. It is completely designed for inland seas or inner lakes!
It's not like the orcs didn't send dragoons to deal with the warships.
Daelin, who had known about the dragon attack on Thoradin's Wall for a long time, was very smart and tried to keep the fleet as far away from the [Wetlands] as possible.
Perhaps there is no limit to the flying distance of ancient dragons, but there are young dragons whose physical strength is more than one level worse than that of ancient dragons. According to estimates, the flight radius of a young dragon carrying an orc knight from the land is about 60 kilometers.
Put your eyes back on land.
Mograine next to Anduin sighed: "If it doesn't work out, let my Scarlet Crusaders reach the mountain road on the east side of Alterac."
It should be emphasized here that the colors of the noble emblems and the armor of the private soldiers will basically not be changed.
This thing is a flag, showing the banner of its master to everyone. Therefore, before becoming the infamous Scarlet Crusaders in later generations, the soldiers led by Mograine and Abbendis were in red and white armor colors.
The Scarlet Crusade in later generations also showed that their bosses were Mograine and the others. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the new banner and new organization that appeared out of nowhere to gain support from the people of Stratholme City, Hearthglen and other places.
Anduin shook his head: "It's too passive. If the snow gets heavier, you will be trapped on the mountain road. And we don't have a sufficient understanding of the orcs' ability to climb over the mountain. What if they can bypass the cliff and attack your rear?
I will send your elite army to death in vain."
"We need intelligence, more and more accurate intelligence."
Kurdran Wildhammer shook his beard: "We, the sons of the Wildhammer family, have tried our best."
The Wildhammer dwarf gryphon knights are not weak, but the gryphon knights have a natural flaw when fighting against the dragonmaw orc knights riding young dragons - gryphons have no long-range attack methods, and not all dwarves can throw [Storm Hammer]
】, the number of ordinary throwing weapons is quite limited (the gryphon has a load limit), and the distance is short.
This leads to the fact that griffon knights often need to use agility to first rush through the fireball rain of the young dragon, and then seek opportunities for melee combat.
This is a big disadvantage.
Not every griffin knight can achieve the feat of letting 2 chase 3.
Without air superiority, the mounted scouts on the ground were at a disadvantage when searching for enemies. Many times, before the wolf cavalry could arrive, the flying dragon in the sky would swoop down and wipe out the human scouts with a fireball. Unless they were near a forest, they would not be able to run away.
Place to run.
"That plan must be pushed forward as soon as possible." Muradin reminded.
Anduin nodded: "We are already recruiting people, but the selection is a bit awkward."
According to research, the plan to explore the secret of the red dragon requires at least a powerful mage, a good hunter, an excellent thief, and two professionals with special skills.
The mages alone are stuck. There are only a few archmages, and the only ones who can get the archmage are Kirin Tor councilors. Among the elite mages below, which one is not the commander of a certain regiment in Dalaran?
This kind of secret operation deep behind enemy lines is definitely a narrow escape and may not yield results.
No guy in his right mind would be willing to go.
Here, seeing that Anduin didn't continue, it was hard for everyone to ask further questions.
Suddenly the door opened, and Turalyon came in energetically: "Commander Lothar, good news. The Duke of Stratholme is willing to support the Alliance with a 500-man air combat force that can ride griffons."
"Are you kidding?" Kurdran Wildhammer's first reaction was to question: "There are many wild and basic-trained griffins in Eagle Nest Mountain, but we only have a thousand griffin knights at full strength."
Compared with the Navy, the Air Force is more difficult to train.
If the ship shakes, fishermen can also be recruited as sailors.
The Air Force really can only slowly select people to train.
Ordinary farmers are definitely not good at it. They have never even ridden a horse and will be scared to death if they don't get close to a griffon.
Often griffon knights can only be selected from existing knights, knight retinues, and trainee knights. Only those who have received riding training and have considerable courage are eligible to take the exam.
Most of them will be brushed off on the spot.
Being able to ride a horse does not mean you can ride a griffon.
This thing is like taking a pilot test.
Want to be?
Can!
Please sit on the 360-degree high-speed rotating chair, stay there for 30 seconds, and walk me a 10-meter straight line immediately after getting off the ground.
no?
Sorry, bye!
Can you walk?
Congratulations on getting started.
Now, it's McDonald's again, and he suddenly loses his king and explodes.
It really scares people!
Is this true or false?
The big guys were filled with expectations, and Anduin instinctively believed that this was true, but...
Not long after, three black-haired young men entered the headquarters under the leadership of Turalyon.
"Hello! Commander-in-Chief Lothar! The Duke of Stratholme's [Barbatos Air Combat Group] reports to you that I am the commander of this air group [Chu Jiayun]!"
It's such a strange name, but as long as you're human, you don't have to worry about it that much.
But, what's going on?
When Anduin heard the name [Barbatos], he felt that this air combat group... didn't seem to be doing anything serious?
Kurdran touched his beard: "Hello, Mr. Chu... I have no intention of doubting the sincerity of Duke Stratholme. I am just curious, where did you receive air combat training?"
[Chu Jiayun] said seriously: "My dad taught me this in Hawaii!"
Where is Hawaii?
An island?
The curiosity of the big guys is about to explode.
The dwarf lord was confused: "Tell me, what specific training have you received?"
"When it comes to air combat, we are professionals." [Chu Jiayun] puffed up his chest: "We have all gone through [Ace Combat], [War Thunder], [Battlefield], [Ark Survival Evolved] flying mount training, etc..."
The big guys were stunned!
Can't understand?
Just don’t understand!
The three players showed a calculating smile.
"Lord Wildhammer, just give us a few griffins, familiarize them with them for a long time, and have a simulated battle."
"good!"
The next morning, the gryphon knight of the Wildhammer dwarves was beaten to the point of self-isolation.
