In battle, what is competed is will, strength, and indomitable momentum.
War involves too many factors from all aspects, but the core point that everyone agrees on is to see who has more.
To tell a joke, the murlocs are aggressive in the early stage, while the machines are better at the later stage.
The war between the Alliance and the Legion has been going on for almost a year.
In the past ten months, from the destruction of the city of Lordaeron to the current strategic stalemate, anyone with a brain can see that the Lich King Ner'zhul's plan to destroy Lordaeron before the Winter Veil Festival has failed, and he still retains The war potential of the large-populated kingdoms of Lordaeron is far from reaching its bottom, but the disadvantages of the Undead Scourge have been fully exposed.
In terms of quantity, success means a large number of people, and failure means a large number of people.
The undead are not perpetual motion machines. The soldiers of the Scourge Legion need the so-called "death energy" for energy. Once the energy is exhausted, the skeleton will naturally fall apart.
This is also the reason why Alsace built extensive ziggurats during his leadership period.
Carlos didn't have such far-reaching considerations when he carried Andorhal to the death. He just fought such a brutal offensive and defensive battle from a strategic perspective to ensure that the initiative was not lost.
However, what is right is right, and what is deceived is also right.
As time went by, the mages of Dalaran summarized the theoretical basis from a large amount of data, and even calculated the energy consumption ratio of necromancy, and came to an astonishing conclusion - Lordaeron's Undead Scourge There is a quantity limit.
One million, three hundred and seventy-seven thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight.
Um……
The old funds were swindled, and there were still some oddities.
The general meaning is that the magic network in the Lordaeron region is like that. Even if it is all deployed to supply the undead natural disaster, there is an upper limit. 1.4 million is already the limit value, and the more powerful the elite units are, the more "population" they occupy. The more, the smaller the real number.
And as the war progresses, the number of natural disaster casters lost on the battlefield is also increasing day by day. The deaths of these units that increase the "population limit" are also reducing the war potential of the Scourge Legion.
On the human side, it's a bit heartbreaking to be honest.
Although the Kingdom of Lordaeron was destroyed and humanity lost three to four million people, what if the calculation was changed?
Before the undead natural disaster broke out, the entire human society was a feudal system, a feudal system, and the vassals of the vassals were not my vassals. Terenas relied on the millions of people radiated from the city of Lordaeron to conquer the world. The actual population controlled by the old father-in-law was about one-third of the city of Lordaeron, which was 300,000.
With three hundred thousand men listening to his voice, House Menethil could rule Lordaeron.
Using this method to estimate, the actual population controlled by the Greymane family in Gilneas is about 100,000. The Trollbane family in Stromgarde is even worse, with a population of 50,000. The Kul Tiras system is particularly difficult to calculate. , Alterac's Barov family theoretically controls a population of approximately 200,000, including Alterac City Tarren Mill and Keldaron.
Do you understand? This so-called actual control of the population can also be called the "die loyal" population.
Although the territory of the Barov family is far inferior to that of Menethil's in-laws, the number of die-hard loyalists is not much lower than that of Menethil's. the underlying logic behind it.
Lordaeron has a population of 8 million, and the people in power can mobilize less than 800,000 of them immediately. Not even one out of ten!
To say that the Alliance of Lordaeron is a piece of disorganized sand is really not unfair to anyone.
Conference, conference, conference.
After a long dispute, Carlos reunited the alliance.
Although many benefits have been transferred, look at the current alliance.
With a population of more than three million, in the name of the Alliance, statistics show that 2.7 million people provide services to this monster.
What a terrifying and exaggerated figure this is.
This is the confidence that allows the Alliance to confront the Scourge Legion head-on.
To give the simplest example, during the Second Orc War, artillery was recorded as a very important military equipment list. Damage must be inspected and loss must be held accountable.
Why, because with the productivity of Lordaeron City, they can only produce twenty-four doors a month.
Things are rare and valuable, how can you not cherish them?
Looking at now, the arsenal's output is more than a hundred cannons every day, and the barrier defenders alone use more than 24 cannons every day.
A comprehensive counterattack plan has been made. Regardless of natural disasters or the current situation of the alliance's three-front war, there is no room for failure. Carlos's daily job is to inspect various inventories along the route.
According to the current progress, it will take at most forty days to complete the minimum material reserves required for the campaign, and at most two months to complete the personnel allocation plan.
This war between the living and the dead is finally coming to an important turning point.
However, there are many disturbing things.
Kel'Thuzad wandered all the way past the wetlands and continued south, with Magni and Kael'thas chasing after him.
What does this lich want to do?
Carlos really couldn't understand.
What's even more distressing is that the ship Turayan was traveling on encountered stormy weather in Palatine Bay and lost contact.
The Alliance has more than 400 ships, but the one carrying Turalyon is missing?
Carlos became angry and directly ordered Daelin Proudmoore to temporarily allocate forces to clear out the pirate forces in Baradin Bay.
Some people really take themselves too seriously.
Comparing their hearts, Carlos counted them in a circle, but he didn't count them. Tirion Fordring, Uther, any of the accomplished Paladins would be afraid of storms, and they could go ashore with a sampan and follow the waves.
Turalyon will disappear, it's really a ghost!
Just seven days passed in this tense and depressing atmosphere, and the pirates of Palatine Bay, who had been opened by the admiral to provide warmth, were in bad luck.
The ship had been robbed by Thrall, the new chief of the tribe. How long ago, Daelin Proudmoore was here again.
The problem is that Turalyon's disappearance really had nothing to do with these pirates.
Because seven days later, Turayan actually carried the sampan ashore.
With him was a brown-skinned orc.
"It's the black dragon. The black dragon attacked the ship."
Old brothers reunited after a long separation and hugged each other. Even though they had thousands of words to say, they could only pick out the important ones.
After ten years of life and death, there is no shortage of stories for tonight's drink.
Turayan told Carlos what happened in the Outland about the Iron King in the most concise language, and all he got in exchange was Carlos' silence.
What does this guy want to do?
Return the expeditionary force to the Alliance, and give the orcs to Thrall...
No matter how you look at it, it looks like you are trying to balance it.
What is he planning?
Carlos didn't have enough clues to deduce a reliable result.
But according to Turayan, the strange situation in Stormwind City and the potential threat of the Dark Portal have to be watched out for.
trouble……
The war is imminent, so we can only seize the big ones and let go the small ones.
After listening to Turayan's story, Carlos also told the old man about the current situation of the alliance.
Then Turayan regretted it. If he had known that Carlos was in such a situation, he would have brought the expeditionary force back no matter what.
A full-scale war involving hundreds of thousands of troops, a head-on collision between the living and the dead, the situation in Lordaeron is really more important than Stormwind City at the moment.
After winning, the Alliance, which had reorganized the old mountains and rivers, had a long arm to govern Stormwind City without even sending a single soldier.
If they lose, half of the Eastern Kingdom will be reduced to hell on earth.
It's that simple.
