Chapter 1012: Prologue to the Battle

The campaign to exterminate the followers of Galakron was the prelude to the Battle of the Dragonbone Wilderness.

Prior to this, the elite regiments and adventurer mercenaries had already done the task of killing the believers.

For Galakron to be resurrected, he needed tribute. However, within the range of its bones, all the tributes it could collect had already been collected. If believers want to collect more tribute, they have to go far away. This gives people a chance to break through.

After a period of sweeping, there were still seven or eight thousand followers left in Galakron, all of whom were concentrated around the huge skeleton. In addition, there is a natural disaster force of tens of thousands of troops nearby.

The first goal of the Longxiang army was to destroy these two groups of enemies at the lowest possible cost.

Before the start of the attack, various reconnaissance planes, observers, stalkers, and other reconnaissance methods had already investigated the details of the surrounding situation clearly. The command and combat center has not yet been built, and a three-dimensional projection command table has been erected in the headquarters of the Second Division of the Longxiang Army, which is responsible for the main attack, which clearly shows the situation of the enemy and us.

At the heart of Galakron's tomb is the cultist's lair. With the protection of the dragon soul, these people didn't even do fortifications, only a few simple camps.

More than ten kilometers south of the tomb of Galakron, it is the base of the natural disaster. Their defenses are much stronger, with more than two hundred psychic towers already forming an array, most of which have been upgraded to the Cobwebween Tower and the Wraith Tower, with the core building of the Scourge Legion in the middle. The Scourge Legion's ground forces hide in the corrupted lands of the Psychic Tower, and are all well-armed elite undead.

The main purpose of this base is to create frost dragons on the spot from dragon bones excavated nearby. The base commander was Xiang Ningxuan's old friend Tyranus, who had fought with the Viku Frost Dragon Knight in Tianzhu.

Frost Dragons are also strong and weak. The strongest are naturally Sindagoza, Saphelon and other dragons who were originally dragons, died soon after their deaths and their bones were intact, and were resurrected by the Lich King himself. The next class is Tyranus' mount, Frostfang, a frost dragon made up of a complete keel of unknown age. The most important thing is to use part of the keel and other bones to put it together, although it is also called the Frost Dragon, but the combat effectiveness is really not good.

In the past, the Scourge didn't have any keels, so they could only build patchwork. Until the Dragonbone Wilds planes overlapped, Scourge immediately dispatched Tyranus to dig up the Dragonbone. It's a pity that the largest Galakron can't eat it, so he can only settle for the second.

Today, the Frost Dragon created by the Scourge is no longer the tattered and poor sour it it used to be, and its body is covered with light runic armor. A set of secondary propulsion devices on its back and wings gives the Frost Dragon a charge-like ability that allows it to burst at super-fast speeds for a short period of time. The abdominal cavity was converted into an ammunition nest, which could be loaded with three tons of bombs for use as bombers. The dragon's beak has also been modified to be more elongated, allowing the Frost Breath to be more concentrated and have a longer range.

In this way, even the combat power of the patchwork Frost Dragon has increased by several steps, and although it still can't beat the real dragon, it can still compete with the young dragon.

In addition to the traditional Frost Dragon, Gargoyle, and Obsidian Destroyer, the Scourge Air Force also adds the Explosive Blood Bat, a small air unit that loads bombs inside and plays suicide ramming.

It is precisely because of the addition of the blood bats that the Scourge has mastered the air supremacy in the low-altitude area. The dragons can only stay away, every young dragon that can fly has gone through hundreds of thousands of years to grow, not to mention the dragon that needs thousands of years of growth cycle. Thousands of blood bats are earned for a dragon.

The Longxiang Army attacked from east to west this time, and most of the Second Division was concentrated on the southern front opposite the Scourge Corps as the main force of the attack. The left and right flanks of the second division were the Gilneth Werewolf Regiment and the Fireblade Clan Wolf Cavalry Regiment as a mobile assault force. On the northern front, there was only one regiment to monitor the followers of Galakron. Elite regiments and some units directly under the army were located in the rear as reserves.

The reason for this deployment is that the Scourge has a large number of air forces that can maneuver at high speeds. And once the believers of Galakron leave the scope of the master's protection, their combat power is scum, and a regiment is enough to crush them. Xiang Ningxuan didn't know if the Cataclysmic Legion and Galakron's followers had cooperated, so he was always prepared for the worst.

At the command table, in addition to the officers of the Dragon Army, General Zoram is a two-legged erect dragon man with a height of more than six meters, commanding the Red Dragon ground forces near the Dragon Sleep Temple.

Wang Wenxing, commander of the Second Division, was introducing to Zoram: "Our philosophy is that professional people do professional things. Although these staff officers are not good at strength, they are specially responsible for strategy and tactics, from the analysis of the enemy's situation, to the drawing up of operational plans and pre-war deployments, to the unexpected response in the course of the campaign, and finally to the final summary after the war, through the division of labor and cooperation, to complete the entire process of the campaign. Although I am a division commander, once the battle plan is drawn up, it must be carried out in accordance with the deployment of the general staff. We just have to do what we do best. ”

The so-called best thing is to personally lead the elite assault, so as to make a final decision. According to the establishment of the Long Xiang Army, the division commander is often strong in personal strength, which can suppress those high-level heroes with strong strength.

If nothing else, the task of garrisoning the Temple of Dragon Sleep will be handed over to the Second Division, and it will be indispensable to cooperate with Zorram in the future. Those who can become dragon generals are extremely fierce in personal strength, and they have considerable attainments in martial arts and magic, and if it is a ground battle, Zorram's ten-meter halberd is enough to kill those young dragons who are close to adulthood.

However, not being able to fly has always been a regret in the heart of this self-highly regarded dragon general. He firmly believes that if it weren't for his congenital deficiencies, he would have grown into a powerful dragon.

As soon as Zoram arrived, he was presented with a custom-made giant humanoid individual assist system: a back-jet device and glider allowed him to briefly lift into the air and glide, a shoulder-mounted psionic light cannon and rockets gave him long-range strike capabilities, and a communication and support helmet. The Dragonman's own scale armor provides sufficient defense, so the system does not include a Warframe, only a support function.

"That's a good point. When the time comes, you just tell me who to hit and I'll tear it to shreds. Now, let's try this assistance system. ”

After coming to the headquarters of the Second Division of the Longxiang Army, Zoram recognized the command of the humans, and then couldn't wait to test the new equipment. Wang Wenxing personally accompanied him, and as for the operational deployment work, the chief of staff naturally completed it.

Chromie and Sal listened intently to the staff officer's explanations, Chromie was only interested in novelties, while Thrall, the former tribal chieftain, was much more serious. The command system on Earth is not known how far ahead of Azeroth, and after watching the battle deduction on the three-dimensional command table, it is completely clear how to fight the next battle.

"General, this is the current deployment, please instruct." The chief of staff of the division said.

Xiang Ningxuan nodded and said, "Just follow your deployment and execute it immediately." ”

Several regiment commanders, regimental staff officers, and commanders of directly subordinate units of the Second Division received their orders and returned to their units to prepare for departure.
