Driven by Sharlayan's efforts, Quel'Thalas' army has officially entered the era of magical weapons.
The military factory operating at full capacity can produce a certain amount of magic guns and magic cannons every day.
The legions that are mainly responsible for foreign expeditions have changed their equipment one after another, and through day-to-day training, they have become quite familiar with these new weapons.
The Dragon Legion was a new legion established in the era when magical weapons were popularized. Of course, Sarlayan could not let them go back and compete with the enemy underwater with only cold weapons.
Among the three-piece set of underwater combat equipment, the most ordinary one is the pendant that looks very magical.
This thing actually only solidifies an underwater breathing spell. Its only function is to ensure that soldiers can move freely underwater without being restricted by oxygen problems.
The sharkskin armor of the Dragon Legion itself is made of very tough material, and the armor is also enchanted with several defensive spells by high-level leatherworkers.
Despite its thin and light appearance, its defensive power during underwater combat is not much worse than that of solid metal armor.
With a strong "shield" to consolidate defense, it is natural to have a sharp "spear" to pierce the enemy.
The tridents used by the Dragon Legion look similar to those held by Naga, but in fact there is another mystery behind these weapons.
Under Donali's heroic orders, the front row soldiers of the Dragon Legion raised their tridents at a distance from the enemy, and pointed the sharp halberd heads at the Naga army that was desperately trying to intercept the sea giant's advance.
"Ready... to shoot!"
"Bah!"
Lines of water shot out from the longest blade in the middle of the tridents held by the soldiers.
Naga, who was caught off guard, had no time to dodge, and was easily penetrated by these highly penetrating rays, leaving patches of blood in the sea.
Due to the calculations and layout of Jarod and Sarlayan, even the comrades who fought side by side with the Dragon Legion for more than a month did not know that they had this skill.
Suramar's reinforcements were led by one of Elisande's advisors, the Demon Swordsman Lord Aluriel.
At this time, Aluriel turned to look at Sarlayan in surprise: "What is this? Can your weapons also launch long-range attacks?"
"But that's impossible."
Oruriel slapped his forehead in confusion: "Except for water spells, any type of attack spell will be severely attenuated underwater. Why can these rays have such strong penetrating power?"
Sarlayan smiled and explained: "Is there a possibility that these rays stimulated by underwater special magic weapons are water spells?"
"……ah?"
With a look of amazement, Jarod answered the confused Oruriel: "The high-pressure water gun sucks in seawater through the magic mechanism built into the trident for extreme compression, and then passes these high-pressure water flows through the only small The exit spurts out.”
"Its power... you have also seen that Naga's armor and scales are like paper lakes under the impact of high-pressure water cannons, and cannot play any defensive role."
In order to make better use of this decisive battle to defeat Dorothy's main force at once, Jarod had been holding back from letting the dragon army attack with full force.
And now it's finally time for the dragon to show its fangs.
While breaking camp and setting off, Jarod also sent someone to send a message to Maiev who was ambushing in the Estorante port area.
The content of the letter is very simple, just one sentence.
"When the time comes, let's cast the bait."
Under Maiev's secret operation, the Naga spy hiding in the port area to collect intelligence "accidentally" obtained the latest intelligence from the front line.
This intelligence obtained "after many twists and turns" mentioned that the army led by Garrod deliberately surrounded Dorothy's camp without attacking it in order to encircle it and recruit reinforcements.
Jarod planned to eat the reinforcements sent by Enzos from Ny'alotha first, and then concentrate his superior forces to take down Dorothy's camp in one go.
Such important news deserves the spy's identity to be revealed and the information sent back to Ny'alotha as soon as possible.
According to intelligence, Dorothy's camp was surrounded by a coalition of night elves, high elves, children of night, and water elements.
This senior spy knew that in such a high-pressure environment, he could not transmit intelligence to the camp. He immediately changed his mind and risked being suspected and reported by the dock foreman. He skipped work and jumped into the sea, heading towards Nyalotha at full speed. go ahead.
Not long after the spy escaped, Jarod, who was commanding the central army, received a report from Maiev.
"Ha~ Well done."
Jarod looked confidently at the Naga camp whose gate had been breached.
"Now we have nothing to worry about. The suspicious Enzos will probably postpone the dispatch of additional reinforcements. He will first prepare for the attack and carefully explore the battle situation on the front line."
Jarod didn't know how long the Naga spy, who had hidden his identity, had been staying in Port Estorante. He must have sent back a lot of useful information to Enzos over the years.
This last and most important time, Enzos 90% will not doubt this spy who has never made mistakes.
Encircling a point for reinforcements is not uncommon in war. Based on Enzos' understanding of Jarod, it is indeed possible for this cautious and talented commander to use this strategy to eliminate threats from the rear first.
The life form of the corrupted naga blessed by Enzos himself has been distorted. It does not need to eat to replenish energy like other mortal races. It can maintain its combat effectiveness by simply inhaling the power of the void.
As the power of the Void continues to penetrate into their bodies and souls, these Nagas will sooner or later be transformed into new Faceless Ones, in aquatic form.
Since the besieged Dorothy's army had no supply issues to worry about, Enzos's first priority was how to break the situation.
Jarod and Sarlayan discussed privately. Judging from Enzos's past action patterns, this "wise general" among the ancient gods would most likely choose to play it safe and delay the time to force the coalition forces who need to eat and replenish energy to run out of supplies. retreat.
To put it more bluntly, Enzos, the weakest among the four ancient gods, has long learned the concept of "cowardice".
Unless necessary, it will not take risks and confront the enemy head-on, but will try to win with the least loss possible.
Jarod and Sarlayan took note of En'zoth's cautious behavior and deliberately used the spy whose identity was exposed in advance to set a trap for him.
With no worries, the coalition forces can devote themselves wholeheartedly to the attack on the Naga camp. At least for a few days, they don't have to worry about Enzos's reinforcements attacking from behind.
There was some truth in the false information Maiev had spread.
Dorothy's camp was indeed surrounded by allied forces, but the other three sides were besieged but not attacked, just to ensure that Dorothy could not convey the true intelligence of the front line to Ny'alotha.
Jarod focused his breakthrough on the front, which was the direction of the camp gate where the main force with the sea giant as the vanguard was attacking with all its strength.
It was also the first time that Sharlayan saw Naga's elite army in a naval battle.
The burly Naga warriors wearing heavy armor and the weak cannon fodder seemed to be completely different species.
The physical quality of the night elves blessed by the World Tree is considered to be the best among the mortal races in Azeroth.
Although their strength is somewhat inferior, their overall abilities are stronger than those of the orcs who drank the blood of demons.
When facing the heavily armed night elf soldiers, the elite naga are not inferior in terms of strength. With more experience in underwater combat, they can use their powerful maneuverability to deflect the night elf's defense focus.
At this time, the Naga spellcasters hiding behind the vanguard can calmly play the role of the fort, throwing a large number of water spells into the night elves' military formation.
If only the night elves who lacked mages participated in this decisive battle, even if Jarod had the advantage in strategy and tactics, he would still be unable to match Naga in terms of individual strength, and there was a possibility of being overturned in the enemy's counterattack.
The addition of Water Elementals, High Elves and Nightborne filled this gap.
The sea giants rushing in front had rough skin and thick flesh, and could withstand the attack of the Naga vanguard, and in turn forced the strong Naga warriors back.
No matter how strong they are, Naga is still just a mortal species and cannot compete with titan creations like sea giants.
The spells fired by the Naga casters were blocked by the prepared Nightborne and High Elf mages. The unexpected high-pressure water cannon attack by the Dragon Legion completely disrupted Naga's originally prepared defensive formation.
When the most defensive camp gate was forcibly breached by the enemy, Dorothy, who had originally planned to sit in the rear and dispatch, could no longer sit still.
"How can there be iron sea giants in this era! Where did those guys find reinforcements?"
Dorothy, whose face was corroded by the power of the void, had a very gloomy expression, and her six hands tightly held the scimitar in her hand.
"You want to eat us with a bunch of outdated things? It's not that easy!"
Swinging most of the fish tail that had turned into dark purple, Dorothy led several senior officers under her command to shoot out, aiming directly at the sea giants who were killing all around.
A cold light flashed in the eyes of Sarlayan, who had been paying attention to the enemy's military camp.
"Is it finally here...Don't even think about succeeding!"
Before Dorothy's six scimitars could attack the sea giant, Sarlayan launched heroic leaps and charges one after another and rushed to the scene in time. He raised his sword to block Dorothy's scimitar. .
"you again!"
"Ha~"
Relying on his strength advantage to bounce away the enemy, Sarlayan calmly smiled at Dorothy, who looked frightened and angry.
"Of course it's me, Void Monster. You don't think we won't guard against your only possible comeback, the decapitation tactic, do you?"
"Last time you were worried too much and couldn't have a good time. Come on! Let's start our second round!"
