When the amount of water is high, the sandbags will be washed away as soon as they are dropped. Sometimes a whole ship full of stones sank into the gap and blocked the embankment.

Of course, Duke didn't say it, but said extremely domineeringly: "Anyway, the old steam tanks will be eliminated, and I suddenly think of waste utilization." ”

Duke was so reasonable, Brian was speechless.

If iron ore is scarce, all scrap metal is thrown into a steelmaking furnace for reheating. As long as there are those manpower and material resources, it is not a problem to re-refine a batch of high-grade iron ingots or even steel ingots.

There is a premise for this - human and material resources.

The Ironforge itself is a large mine, and although it has been excavated for thousands of years, there is still no sign of digging it out.

In addition to the recent large quantities of metal ingots from the Horde: copper from Durontal, iron ore from Stonetalon Mountain and Firas, gold ore from the Thousand Needles Stone Forest, and Mithril mines, all of which were transported to Theramore, melted into ingots, and transported across the sea to the Ironforge, a large alliance factory.

Because ready-made metal ingots are better to use, there is no place for the old steam tanks now made of low-grade iron plates.

So Duke suggested that Brian be shocked when he used hundreds of steam tanks that had arrived in advance to the outside world, but were barely able to operate because of insufficient steam pressure, and were completely useless.

It would have been better if Duke hadn't been holding this unfamiliar face on his head right now.

Brian also knew that Duke was in trouble, so he waved his hand directly and ordered to do it.

The southern mouth of the lake is not a key defensive area for Vasqi.

After the Griffin Legion had slain the large lizards roaming the lake's mouth, the Alliance army began to lay heavy iron horses in the waterways to act as fortifications.

When the defending forces, including 5,000 human infantry, 500 elven archers, and 200 mages, formed a defensive line, the human engineers drove the rumbling steam tanks to the lake.

I have to say, this is a very courageous technical job.

Of course, you can press the throttle with an iron rod to let the tank continue to drive into the water and sink on its own. In fact, there will be many situations before sinking.

Will it be crooked?

Could it be that the water is too shallow in that place and the steam tank gets stuck?

Low air pressure in the outer region can cause a variety of situations to occur, which require the driver to adjust with his own experience and skills.

Duke has seen more than once that those tank soldiers from the Stormwind Kingdom often wait for the tank to start sinking before jumping out of the cockpit in order to be accurate, which makes Duke tremble.

One east and one west, two directions work at the same time, so that the efficiency is greatly increased.

In less than half an hour, a rough embankment appeared in the field of vision of the Alliance soldiers.

"Wow-" There was a loud cheer from the sappers.

"Keep up the good work, boys!" shouted Brian.

This time, for this battle, Brian even tricked Varian into running to the eastern entrance of the Zangar Marsh to inspect.

In fact, Vasqi did take the bait. As Varian approached the water, the mighty Naga Banshee gave Varian an an arrow.

The arrow was so strange that at first it looked like an extension of a reflection in the water, and it didn't alert anyone. By the time everyone reacted, the water-made arrow was less than an inch from Varian's cheek.

"No!" Valeera screamed, swinging her dagger.

She struck the tail of the arrow.

Useless!

The feeling of feedback from the epic dagger made Valeera's heart fall into the abyss in an instant.

It felt no different from the water in a pool with a dagger.

Something that no one expected happened.

Varian, who has always presented himself as a berserker with a dual sword since he stepped into the Outlands, pulled out a large shield that felt like a mountain.

At the same moment, three golden illusory shields swirled around Varian's side. This is the Shield Wall, the signature skill of the Defensive Warrior!

"Hmph—" Varian let out a muffled snort.

Even at the cost of being shot through this epic shield, it still bought him time to dodge. With an almost anti-articulation back, Varian's entire body was almost parallel to the ground, narrowly dodging the splash that followed by the water arrows.

"Cut!" came a disdainful soul voice from the water.

Varian didn't come alone. As the commander-in-chief of the Allied forces in the Outlands, beside him, in addition to Valilla and Browl, there are also hero-level powerhouses such as Solanlian and Lilath.

Unless Vaschi is willing to give up her advantage in the water and run to the land to harden Varian and the others, she can only give up.

In fact, not long after retreating, Vasqi received information from Dark Ze Village.

"What? What a strategy!" Vaschi's bewitching face flashed fiercely: "Let the tide rider pass!"

On the other side, in the southern part of the village of Dark Saw, intense construction continues.

A makeshift dam consisting of four huge steam tanks sinking in parallel has appeared in front of everyone. Based on tanks that sank into the water and filled with stones, large quantities of sandbags were dropped to the north of the dam.

What used to be a slightly turbulent water is now a stream.

The flow of the water slowed down slightly, and Duke had cement poured into the water.

"Hehe, hey, in another half a day, even if Vasqi himself kills him, he won't be able to finish this dam. Brian smirked.

"Don't laugh too early. Duke warned.

Never underestimate a strong person with intelligence.

As if in response to Duke's conjecture, in an hour, there was a rumbling sound of footsteps from the north of the village of Dark.

"Huh?" said Duke and Brian frowned at the same time.

The scout arrived: "Report! A giant suspected to be a giant of the deep sea, armed with a huge anchor, was found heading towards the dam. In his vicinity, there are also hundreds of water elementals, as well as nearly a thousand male naga. ”

"There are many enemies, but there are not many good players on our side. Brian pouted.

"I know. Duke looked into the distance with a blank face.

The Griffon Legionnaires, who were in charge of guarding the front, were given a three-shift rest system, and only the outermost 2,000 men were in combat readiness, and the rest of the soldiers were allowed to rest, but they were all in armor and kept their weapons in their hands.

Since there was an enemy, they took their positions one after another, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

But this battle was unlike any of their previous battles. They are not standing on a safe land, but on a 'lonely island' like a water town.

Although the water is very shallow, Duke will never forget what a terrifying existence the water attack in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is. The place where the soldiers stood, all reinforced with sandbags, was at least ten meters above the water level.

During this time, even metal elements similar to anti-boti were added to the front of the soldiers.

True, the soldiers' worst enemy is not the Naga, but a possible flood.
