The situation in this war with the mutant insects can be said to be lackluster.
have nothing to say.
There are no Qiraji, no Anubisas, no face-faced men, not even the elite bugs.
In addition, the trolls had been preparing for this battle for two months, and the alien swarm they faced was only in one direction.
The battle begins.
The aliens were burned to death under the firepower of thousands of incendiary bombs, and tens of thousands of aliens were roasted to death.
Although this amount is nothing to the bugs, with enough food, they can produce this much in a week.
The trolls had no intention of engaging in a general war with them, under the orders of Tonatiu and the suggestions of the Kaldorei advisors.
The trolls did not attack the insect nest at all, but only hired a group of goblin explosion experts at the outermost areas of the Corruption Nest to open a gap in the insect nest.
Then, from a high position, attack those alien insects that rush up without thinking from this gap.
The purpose of this battle is to train troops, kill monsters, and complete the main mission.
Tonatiu didn't even think about actually entering the insect nest and letting tens of thousands of trolls face ten times or a hundred times more alien insects.
Anyway, the goal is to guard the gap, surround the area and provide reinforcements, and lure those alien insects to rush forward in a steady stream to die.
The number of the integrated troll army exceeded 50,000 trolls for the first time.
They were organized into three legions by Tonatiu at the suggestion of Shandris Feathermoon.
First, second, and third, there are three legions in total.
Each legion has about ten thousand trolls, most of them are soldiers, that is, warriors.
The main body is composed of the troll armies that Zul'Farrak surrendered, supplemented by divine warriors, divine wizards, voodoo spells, a small number of flame warriors, and an even rarer number of shadow hunters.
Shadowhunters are all from the original Zul'Farrak army, and their number is not large, only a few dozen.
The professional positioning of a Shadow Hunter is very similar to that of a Priest.
The power of both comes from belief in and service to higher beings.
But the Shadowhunters believe in neither the Holy Light nor the Shadow, but the trolls' own Loa gods.
In what is known as the Shadowhunter Ascension Ceremony, the Troll Warriors must penetrate into the original home where the Loa wanders, and undergo the judgment of several Loa within.
The illusions caused by the gods and the beasts inhabiting the jungle will make most trolls never return, and those trolls who have been recognized by Loa and returned safely have become shadow hunters.
Therefore, the so-called shadow hunter is a high-level armed priest who has established connections with multiple loa. If the loa recognizes you, then you are a shadow hunter.
As for general physical training, drawing a bow in battle, playing with a sword, etc., they are just a foil to the professional characteristics.
Shadow hunters can simply be understood as Loa priests who know a certain amount of martial arts.
These dozens of shadow hunters believe in a variety of Loa, but after joining Zutona, they all believe in one more Bwonsamdi.
Since Shadow Hunters, Sorcerers, Divine Warriors and Voodoo spells are too close together, Tonatiu is not prepared to continue to develop in the Troll system.
This kind of power.
Another kind of professional witch doctor originally featured by trolls.
After the emergence of the witch doctors, all of them have turned to the shamans, even the witch doctors who were originally in Zul'Farrak.
The original witch doctor was the master of primitive magic and knowledge among the troll tribe.
They use herbs and mysterious raw materials to make potions and spells, and they also perform spells through some rituals.
The magic used by witch doctors seems to other races to involve the power of souls and shadows, but in troll culture, this kind of mysterious art is called "voodoo".
Just like the troll-specific concept of "Loa", it is difficult for the outside world to define what voodoo magic is.
Even the trolls themselves are difficult to define, because the composition of witch doctors is complex. They can be regarded as a combination of alchemists, shamans, necromancers and even warlocks.
As the earliest mortal civilization to appear, the classification system of troll culture is very primitive.
The professions that are distinct among other races are mixed into the knowledge exclusive to witch doctors in the troll tribe, making this profession difficult to define.
Unlike the shamans of Zutona, their definition is very clear. They are the gods Tona and Tiu, and now there is an additional priest of the Aztec god.
Divine witches were born as witch doctors, but their power system has been systematically improved, similar to the professional systems of spiritual warriors and voodoo shooters that are unique to Zutona.
In short, generally speaking, each legion has about 7,000 soldiers, about 1,000 voodoo shooters, about 700 spiritual warriors, and about 300 magicians.
Then each legion also has about two thousand reserve and transport teams responsible for logistics work.
A full troll army has about 12,000~13,000 trolls, accounting for almost 37,000 spots in the 40,000 troll army.
Of the more than 13,000 trolls left, more than 800 trolls are Zutona's air force, about 1,200 heavy armored cavalry, 3,000 light cavalry, and a total of about 5,000 trolls' technical troops.
The remaining approximately 7,000 trolls serve as garrison troops in various troll cities and also serve as reserve legions.
in this war.
Since it took place in an insect nest that was not suitable for cavalry combat, Tonatiu did not mobilize all his troops for the battlefield.
In addition, the trolls currently have no serious enemies in Tanaris other than insects. Tonatiu divided the three legions into three systems in this war.
He imitated the rabbit's turn.
The First Legion cooperated with the technical troops and took the lead in launching the attack on the bugs. Then, after establishing the initial fortress fortifications, the Second Legion came to take over the battle.
The First Legion was immediately transferred back to Zaun Fortress to train and verify the marching ability of the troll army in a forced march.
At the same time, the Third Army is stationed at Zaun Fortress. After the First Army arrives, the Third Army will immediately set off to the front line to take over the Second Army's position.
The Second Army will take over the positions after the Third Army arrives, and it will be their turn to march back to Zaun Fortress to replace the First Army, which has been repairing for several days.
The First Army Corps sets out again.
There will only be one legion, plus some continuation troops, facing the silithid in a direct battle.
It is equivalent to one army on the road, one army repairing, and one army fighting.
Simultaneously train three legions in combat, marching, and rest, three different abilities.
Since we are only facing silithid insects and the war pressure is relatively low, this rotation mode can allow the newly integrated army to quickly form combat effectiveness.
Tonatiu saw this unfair war with the Silithids as a good opportunity to train the troll army.
Shandris Feathermoon and some Kaldorei also agreed with his strategy.
According to General Sentinel: "In the future, the enemies we face will be a hundred times more cruel than they are now. Before they can come out of the wall, of course, make your army as elite as possible!"
Thanks to the help of the Kaldorei who were familiar with the silithid bugs, Tonatiu was very cautious. If there was a situation, Bwonsamdi would come out to help. His power could resurrect some dead bug corpses and become the troll's helper.
Overall, seven days later, the three legions completed their first rotation, and the war lasted for so long.
The number of bugs killed by the trolls exceeded 50,000, but the casualties on the troll side were only 351 trolls.
Among them, 81 trolls died, 29 were missing, and 241 were injured.
The results of the battle are not unfruitful.
If faced with a normal race war, with such a battle damage exchange ratio, Tonatiu would be able to laugh with all his teeth.
It's a pity that we are facing a silithid with no elites, no command, and no Qiraji.
It's like commanding a group of troops to train against ferocious beasts. Although the victory is easy, there is nothing to be proud of.
When the progress of the main mission reached 150,000 bugs, Tonatiu left the battlefield.
He left Dezra to supervise the army, and asked Shandris Feathermoon to end the month-long training when the war is one month old in more than 20 days.
As for him, he took the four Titans and Lulu, as well as Bwonsamdi's priest and witch doctor Zumulane to Gadgetzan.
He will pass the messenger ship from Zandalari anchored in Steamwheedle Port and head to the Zandalari Islands, where the trolls' clan is located!
Because in about twenty days, it will be the Trolls’ Dinosaur Festival.
Zandalar invited him.
Tonatiu also agreed to go. He also wanted to meet the troll lords and leaders in other places.
At this time, the trolls have not been beaten in several versions in a row.
In terms of strength, it should be the strongest racial force besides the Kaldorei. However, the forces are very scattered, and they are not convinced by each other, and they don't even have much respect for the Zandalari.
Naturally, the relatively united human beings were punished in the eastern continent.
