28. Pre-war preparations

"As of yesterday's count, the soldiers recruited by the coalition forces of the anti-insect front from various forces have reached 250,000, and the hot sand consortium has delivered the last batch of support weapons in an airship formation early this morning, and after the distribution of the whole army, the coverage rate of thermal weapons will reach 80%, and the Blightcaster druids have established a good reserve base in Angolo Crater, and the reserves of healing potions, bandages, antidotes and first-aid drugs are enough for the whole army to use for one month."

Seventh Army General Halver. As the first commander to arrive in Silishus, Wimban was also in charge of liaison between the front line and the logistics base, and on the eve of the start of a large-scale operation, he was responsible for making a strategic presentation in front of the coalition commanders.

And the result of the battle line of the Zerg who captured Tanaris first proved that the strategy of the Supreme Commander Deer Helmet was correct, and all the forces on the continent saw the threat of the Zerg from this war, and this victory boosted their fighting spirit.

In other words, the outcome of the war in Tanaris shattered the myth of the invincibility of the Zerg... Although it was clear within the coalition that there were many fortuitous factors involved in this victory, a real victory could not be buried.

Even the most sinister goblin consortium has increased its support for the coalition forces after that war, and the goblins who have made a good calculation know very well that if the Silisus War adjacent to Tanaris cannot be resolved, then the business circle of the southern continent that they spent a lot of effort to form will suffer a devastating blow, and the loss of life is not a big deal, but the loss of money is very fatal.

In the face of this threat of indistinguishable enemies and enemies, even the most stingy goblins have to make the choice of fully supporting the coalition forces, and the human empire, which is slowly recovering, did not mobilize the militia this time, which is a big burden on the imperial order, but as compensation, the empire sent several elite legions, and also took on the logistics pressure of the coalition together with the withering druids.

A steady stream of food, minerals, and furs were transported to the crater logistics base, and the expropriation of war materials in the country would undoubtedly affect the people's already low standard of living, but after seeing the ferocity of the bugs in the Shining Plains, the honest people of the empire had long been frightened, coupled with the propaganda system's constant exaggeration of the importance of the front-line war and the horror of defeat, most of the people were still generally knowledgeable.

After all, after losing their ancestral land and seeing the horrors of large-scale war, the demands of the people who have just found peace cannot be considered too high.

"Commander Deerhelm, let's be honest."

Just when Halver was about to elaborate on the current situation of the coalition forces, the white-haired but sturdy old warrior Blox, who had just arrived yesterday, was in the orc overseer. Sarufar knocked on the table, the orc who had fought all his life didn't like to listen to these whitewashed words, he stared at the human general:

"Let's focus on our shortcomings, such a thing as a war, you can't just look at the data on paper."

This was immediately approved by the other commanders, everyone had seen the appearance of the Worm Man attacking, under that kind of Worm Sea tactic, any flaws of the defender would be infinitely magnified, and eventually become the cause of defeat, which was a detail that the generals who had really fought could not ignore.

In the face of the other commanders' requests, General Halfer shrugged his shoulders, he didn't care much about being questioned, after all, the people in front of him were here to pursue victory, so after a moment of preparation, Halfer coughed lightly:

"The two most important problems facing the coalition forces at the moment, first of all, are that some of our units are not proficient in the use of thermal weapons and are not yet able to effectively develop combat effectiveness, and the large wing of boar men, although brave and belligerent, is mentally retarded, and the use of firearms is a challenge for them. And..."

Halver couldn't help but glance at Santis, who was sitting on the edge. General Hazuki and the local commander Marris, he said with some embarrassment:

"The Night Elf sentinels are resistant to the use of thermal weapons, they believe in their bows and arrows and moon blades, although they have proven to be more lethal in several encounters, so I hope that General Hazuki and Commander Marlis will do the mental work of your soldiers... After all, the current situation is not the time to talk about tradition. ”

"It's not because of tradition, General Halver."

Shantis. Hazuki replied directly:

"We Kadores aren't old-fashioned, but the firearms used by human armies aren't meant to be used directly by the sentinels... As far as I know, the reason why my soldiers resist muskets is because the accuracy of this weapon is so poor, that it is not at all as good as the Horned Eagle Bow we use in terms of precision killing. ”

Commander Maris also added:

"And we sentries are interested in a burst of muskets with great suppressive firepower... The mid-level commanders believe that the use of a burst of muskets to suppress the enemy, combined with the precision of the Horned Eagle, can be developed into a new tactic, so I would like to ask the coalition forces to deploy more burst fire to supplement the Sentinel Corps. ”

"Well, it's not that it's unacceptable."

Halver hesitated for a moment, he looked at the deer helmet sitting in the center, this great druid was the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, on this kind of issue, Halver needed the opinion of the deer helmet, and the latter did not hesitate, he nodded, and said:

"The second batch of armaments is about to be shipped by the Great Merchant Hesso, and the Sentinel Legion's request can be met, and according to our strategic plan, the Sentinel Legion will not be tasked with a frontal attack, so they have plenty of time to practice new tactics."

"Okay."

Halver nodded, and the Orc Overseer looked left and right, and he raised his hand, and said:

"Now that I've talked about it, I, as an orc commander, also want to get some new weapons for my boys... We don't need a repeating musket, we can't wait for the delicate stuff, give us more powerful shotguns, bombs, or flamethrowers, this special weapon is perfect for our lads to fight the charging bugs head-on on the front line. ”

"Yes! We combine the Minotaur troops with the orc troops, the grinder machine guns issued by the Minotaurs can just make up for your slightly lack of firepower, and the duty of the frontal charge belongs to the Boar Legion, under the leadership of the wilderness demigod Agamagan, these fanatical and brutal warriors can completely block the charge of the insects head-on after wearing heavy armor, and their fecundity is super strong, and the battle damage on the frontal battlefield will not affect their civilization. ”

"What a great hoplite!"

Halver sighed, and then quickly recorded the different requirements of each legion in his notebook, which would be the last change of clothes after actually advancing to the battlefield of Silitus.

"There is a second problem, after the Quicksand Scepter is repaired, we will fight close to the Wall of Beetles, and the goal of the first phase of the battle is to take the ruins of Chila behind the Wall of Beetles as a base for advancement, but before that, the trouble we need to solve is the three large hives in the Great Desert of Silisus!"

Halver pointed to the huge map hanging behind him with a teaching rod and explained the current situation in Silisus to the commanders in front of him:

"The Hive of Aash closest to the fortress of Silisus has been mostly destroyed by the combined attack of the Seventh Legion and the Sentinels, but the remaining two Hives, the Rego Hive and the Zola Hive, are still a great threat, and if we can't clear these two Hives before the soldiers reach the Beetles, we will face the danger of being attacked on our backs."

The general of the Seventh Legion accentuated his voice:

"I want to emphasize that in our experience with the Aash Hive, there are at least more than 150,000 bugs in both hives, and I hope that the newly arrived Orc Legion and the Feathered Moon Sentinels will take their responsibility to clear these two hives for the Alliance, and of course, the Alliance will provide you with enough explosives... If necessary, the artillery of the 7th Army Corps will also help. ”

Halver looked at the Orc Overseers and the Elven General, he thought for a moment, and said in a gentle and serious tone:

"It's not that I don't believe in the combat effectiveness of both of you, but after the war application of a large number of thermal weapons, a completely new mode of war has arrived, and this brand new, more cruel, more brutal and more terrifying mode of war than ever before, will obsolete the old concept of war, and the human empire has barely mastered some of the essence of this model after a heavy price."

"As fellow members of the Anti-Bug Front, the Empire is willing to hand over the knowledge we have learned at great cost to our fellow coalition forces, and I hope that in the next 7-10 days, we can work together to subvert the Hive as a run-in phase with each other, we are all here to defeat the bugs, and I hope that we will not be affected by some unpleasant things in the past."

After the General of the Seventh Legion finished speaking, his gaze also fell on the orc overseer, Brooks. Sarufar, of course, understood what Halver meant, and he looked into the human general's gaze, and he nodded:

"Orcs are not afraid of war, and we are not afraid of peace... We've seen terrible wars across the sea, and though it's only a glimpse of the battlefield, the orcs are willing to learn from this war civilization. ”

After saying that, he shrugged:

"Of course, after the Worm fight, I'll treat you to a drink... In return. ”

———————————————————————

In the Great Desert of Silisus, while the Anti-Worm Alliance began to prepare for war in full swing, in Stormwind City, an important city of the Eastern Continent and an important city of the Federation civilization, the Great Lord who had ended his vacation was also preparing for another war.

"Let me go with you, High Lord."

Iriel, with a black assault rifle in each hand, stood in front of Tyrion who was silent, and said to the silent High Lord, who was assembling a gun with both hands:

"I'm also responsible for Yuna's disappearance, and I want to do something for that kid too."

As if he hadn't heard Iriel, Tyrion picked up the spring, placed it in the black pistol, loaded a few more parts, and pulled the bolt back.

"Click"

With a crisp sound, the large-caliber rapid-fire pistol was assembled.

Tyrion picked up the spiced cigar, and as the dark blue smoke rose, the High Lord twisted the bullet in the bullet box on the table with two fingers, it was a silver-white bullet, and some special runes were engraved on the bullet casing, and between the contact of the High Lord's fingers, a strange, ash-like thing rose up from his fingers.

It was the mark of the Necromancer's body being burned by the Holy Silver, and of course, for a Necromancer like Tyrion, the burn was not worth mentioning, and he couldn't even feel the sting.

He looked at the uniquely shaped holy silver bullet in front of his eyes, and his ice-blue eyes shone with a glint of light.

Tyrion had also been to the original Silver Grey Tome, so he also knew how to craft this Ash Knight's unique equipment, which was mixed with specially treated Holy Silver and was extremely lethal to any creature with negative energy, and in the Realm of the Dead, where he would be deprived of all external powers, even a being as strong as Tyrion would need these additional equipment to provide him with new combat power.

"Jingle Bell"

The silver bullet was thrown on the table, and Tyrion leaned back in the black velvet chair, crossed his legs, and lazily put his left hand on the armrest, and through the rising smoke, he looked at the guilt-ridden Irel in front of him, and said in a hoarse voice:

"It doesn't need to be so, Iriel, Yuna's disappearance is not your problem... Sooner or later, this day will come, but unfortunately, after it comes, I still haven't been able to understand the problems left to me by this realm of death. ”

"The crown... What the hell does this damn crown mean? ”

When Irel saw the muttering High Lord, she knew that the High Lord had made up her mind, so she stopped talking, and instead placed the weapon in her hand on the table in front of Tyrion, which was already filled with several of the most advanced weapons in the Black Iron District, and all of them had been transformed by the master craftsman to fire special holy silver bullets.

There are also several special grenades on it, which are special creations that encapsulate several layers of extremely compressed holy water in addition to the explosives, once this thing explodes in place, if it is too close, even a death lord like Irel will be burned, if it is not for the main lord to venture into the realm of death without a guide, this kind of thing that is incompatible with the undead will not be made at all.

"Great Lord, are you really going on an adventure? Is the Realm of the Dead really that important? ”

Irel asked one last question as he left, and upon hearing the question, Tyrion opened his eyes, and he looked at Iril earnestly:

"To us, Iriel, the realm of death is nothing, but it represents everything at the same time..."

"That's the future I've prepared for the whole Darkblade!"

"We won't have to wander around anymore, that's where we're going to end up... Admittedly, without my guide, I don't know what I'm supposed to do in the Realm of Death..."

"But I know at least..."

"What can I do!"
