If the main force of 300,000 night elves were to be sent to Lordaeron, the alliance's grand marshal could be replaced by Fandral Staghelm.
However, once 300,000 troops were sent to the yellow sand fields of Silithus, eating, drinking, and urination would be a big problem.
It was Carlos who became more powerful step by step and was qualified to discover this problem.
There is a big problem with the scale in the game. In order to force a 50-50 ratio, Kalimdor on the map looks about the same size as the Eastern Kingdom. However, with the gradual popularization of spaceships, map mapping today has become much easier than in the past.
So a fact has become increasingly clear. Today's Kalimdor accounts for about half of the ancient Kalimdor Road. The Eastern Kingdom plus Northrend plus Pandaria is probably more than today's Kalimdor and The parts that sank to the bottom of the ocean were not much larger.
In other words, the area of Silithus is much larger than Carlos imagined. According to preliminary estimates, it is at least 2.5 times the size of the Hillsbrad Hills area.
At least.
Therefore, the general staff of the alliance were scolded by the Generalissimo. Forget about the three routes and so on. The materials landed after crossing the endless sea. What to do after landing?
Ah, please tell me one by one, what to do after logging in!
As the capital of espionage where the current situation is changing, Eretharas has indeed sent back a lot of valuable information.
For example, there are frequent problems with the tribe's transportation lines. Trucks that can travel off-road in the Barrens cannot carry normal loads in Un'Goro Crater and Silithus. The tribe has once again removed kodo beasts and large thunder lizards from the combat force. Take back and distribute it to the baggage train.
There is also interesting information, that is, the tribe was the first to discover the strategic value of the tar swamp in the northern part of Un'Goro Crater - a huge stock of natural asphalt.
There is no shortage of sand and gravel in Garrison and Silithus, and coupled with the asphalt from Un'Goro Crater, the recipe for hardening the road is not difficult to come up with.
For the first time, the Horde has stepped ahead of the Alliance in terms of technological innovation.
The Alliance also has abundant natural asphalt in the wetlands, and the tribe is not the only one who can use it. Ironforge is already studying and writing a feasibility report on using asphalt pavement technology to pave a new road to Menethil Port.
It is no joke that war leads to technological development.
The Alliance is now trumpeting that its own spacecraft technology is awesome and that floating spaceships will eventually replace traditional surface ships. As a result, the number of surface ships in the alliance has tripled, and there is no sign of them being replaced.
Cost, the problem is cost. In the Northern Expedition to Northrend, a large number of cargo spaceships have proven that air transportation is reliable, and a large number of civilian spaceships in the Eastern Kingdom have also proven that efficient and fast air transportation is feasible.
But the cost is so high. Who can buy one with free shipping for only 9.9 yuan and use SF Express? It’s embarrassing to have too much money.
Therefore, if the Alliance steps into the trap that the Horde has stepped on, Carlos will kill people.
In addition to giving birth to weapons of war such as aerial battleships, magic technology also fed back the traditional shipbuilding industry.
Different from the tribe's natural technical route of choosing goblin boilers, the alliance's shipyards have too heavy a historical burden and cannot afford to smash bottles and cans to build ironclads as soon as they come up. Therefore, they install steam boilers on traditional wooden ships and keel them. Reinforcing metal brackets has become a new business.
As we all know, the Alliance has no secrets. In addition to the Alterac snowfields being haunted, all cemeteries in the Eastern Kingdom are open to capitalists.
The tribal intelligence personnel in Nanhai Town don't even need to take the initiative to collect information. Salesmen from various companies in the Eastern Kingdom have already come to the door in groups to start selling.
There is no way. Although the magic power is good, it cannot withstand the burning of fuel. It controls all the crude oil resources in the Barrens Oil Field, the largest oil field in Kalimdor. The tribe's purchasing personnel are not beggars. That is the favorite of the chaebol factory owners. What? Mrs. Niu, that’s Xiao Tiantian.
The loose alliance, politically, is doing its best to promote the theory of tribal threat. Carlos's best efforts are only to downplay the racial issue. Today's Eastern Kingdom has generally no longer hard-linked race with camp. There can be good orcs. Good trolls, even good goblins, good tauren, but the tribe has to be a bad thing, and the days without the tribe are good days.
So economically, if the tribal masters come here, the small shop has everything and sells everything.
This is what Thrall is worried about. Once the racial issue is downplayed, the Glory Orcs in the hands of the Alliance will be a big trouble. With such a model out there, the orcs of the tribe will be aggrieved and confused about what to do if they vote for humans. This united front work What to do?
It's difficult.
The quality and civilization of Orgrimmar has been greatly improved. In a sense, it was forced out by the Alliance.
The more the Alliance shows off its power, the more the Horde spares no expense to reinforce the night elves.
After all, no matter how powerful your Eastern Kingdom is, can you still defeat my tribe and the night elves across the endless sea?
It would be best to form an offensive and defensive alliance with the night elves and defend the alliance across the sea together.
However, Malfurion was not a fool. He had not been treated like this in many years. The tribe's archdruid understood clearly and was willing to accept Thrall's hospitality. But after all, the Alliance and the Night Elves are separated by the endless sea. What Thrall is afraid of is that the Night Elves and the Alliance will join hands to deal with the Horde.
Therefore, it is not in the interests of the Kaldorei night elves to form an offensive and defensive alliance with the Horde.
How to balance the stability of the unstable triangle of the Kaldorei, the Horde, and the Alliance is the big problem that tests Malfurion's political wisdom.
The war in Silithus is no longer the focus of Malfurion's work.
On the one hand, the archdruid must express his kindness to Thrall and not chill the hearts of the tribal brothers.
On the other hand, the alliance's assistance is also crucial, so that the Carlos brothers cannot misunderstand the relationship between the night elves and the tribe.
In addition, the pandaren brothers also came to repay their kindness. The Quel'dorei and Shal'dorei faced off in Elrethalas. The international public opinion changed. The night elves, who had been the overlord of Kalimdor for so long, were a little confused. .
In the past, if they didn't listen, they would be beaten. When did the night elves need to consider the impact of public opinion?
Nowadays, the situation in Kalimdor has changed, and the gameplay has changed for a while, and the Kaldorei are not used to it.
For example, if Fandral Staghelm poisoned Silithus's mutilated insects, the follow-up processing would be quite troublesome.
Because Malfurion's beloved disciple, Comrade Fandral, the night elf commander-in-chief of the Silithus Military Region, the plan succeeded, but also failed.
The druids on the front line were not sure how much dose they needed to kill the larvae waiting to hatch in the insect nest.
So, too much force.
The way of the Druid can be called a road or a path, which means that the Druids possess Druid spells with completely independent intellectual property rights.
The Battle of the Shifting Sands, the road to Kaldorei's revival was forcibly interrupted by a Qiraji claw. This happened more than 3,000 years ago. To the night elves, it was not considered an ancient event. Many night elves experienced it back then. They are all still alive.
Therefore, the Druid was particularly ruthless. Genetic collapse was just the starting point, and genetic mutagenesis technology was also used.
So will polluting the water source affect the night elves? Theoretically no, these magic potions are theoretically harmless to the night elves. The druid masters really dare to drink a full cup.
So what's the problem?
C'Thun is not a fool. He knows that there is a problem with the insect nest and that the alien insects have been genetically corrupted. How can he recycle these toxic biomass to contaminate other pure insect nests?
It's poisoning to play tricks on the ancient gods, right?
As a result, the unsalvageable insect nest was abandoned, and the alien insects that could not be saved continued to glow and generate heat in the last days of their lives, mutating mineral biochemical toxins and secondary pollution of underground water sources.
The Cenarion Circle was stunned.
Not only do the mutant swarms need underground water to thrive, but so do the night elves.
Cenarion Fortress was originally built on top of solid underground water veins in the rock pan. It is difficult for underground water veins hundreds of meters deep to be contaminated. The druids also used natural magic to catalyze a large number of pipe-type strong rhizome plants as a Purification and early warning measures.
Therefore, the 300,000 troops and at least 200,000 night elves rely on the deep wells inside Cenarion Fortress for daily water supply.
Now that the aliens are using the method of disintegrating the demon to deal with the seven-wound fist of the night elves, Fandral Staghelm is a bit confused.
Don't get me wrong, it's not a big problem, it's just a big headache.
Because the biological and chemical warfare in central Silithus has not yet affected the Un'Goro area, which is blocked by mountains, it would be fine to just get water from the crater.
Yes, it's nothing more than a water transport team of several thousand people going back and forth between Un'Goro Crater and Silithus every day.
Is this a matter of water?
This offensive is wasted!
After finally destroying the two hive-occupied areas that pose the greatest threat to Cenarion Fortress, the night elves should carry out settlement operations on the hive area according to the follow-up combat plan, use all available means to destroy the underground hive cavity, and then Fortresses and fortresses were built on solid ground, and preparatory exploratory attacks were conducted to recapture the blockade fortifications lost in the early stages of the war.
Fandral Staghelm has not forgotten that the Silithids are only a fringe unit of the Qiraji, and the main force of the Qiraji are still nesting in Ahn'Qiraj.
Now he can't even advance to the Gate of Quicksand. Fighting with the pet bugs raised by the Qiraji is like this. It's a shame for the elves. Dark Night can't lose face.
The tribe's advance army was in a stable mood.
Northrend's Northern Expedition was over, and the tribe's strategic purpose had been achieved. Although the finishing work was not over yet, a large number of backbones of the Northern Expedition with experience in new warfare had been transferred to the south to participate in war preparations.
These tribe members who have been entangled with Uther's Silver Hand vanguard all the way from the Borean Tundra to Dragonblight do not feel that the current situation is that bad.
On the contrary, I sincerely admired the fact that the night elves were able to launch a legion-sized counterattack despite being so short of supplies.
It can only be said that the Horde has learned bad things in the arms race with the Alliance.
In the eyes of military observers of these tribes, the night elves were acting too hastily.
Considering the night elves' fragile supply lines, it was incredible that they were able to hold Cenarion Fortress before.
You know, the tribe is now on a hardened load-carrying road from Xiuresha Port through Gadgetzan to Un'Goro Crater. The road system in Un'Goro Crater has been temporarily abandoned by the tribe. This relatively stable road can be solved directly with large beasts of burden.
Therefore, before a hole was blown in the highland wilderness of Feralas, the tribe's transportation route was maintained by trucks pulling front and rear, and using beasts of burden and trailers in the middle.
This is also the reason why the tribe is clearly ready to fully intervene in the war in Silithus but has not dispatched combat units in large numbers.
Logistics supply lines are too fragile.
In fact, the alliance is the same. The night elves and the high elves were engaged in a military confrontation in Elrethalas, digging for graves and archeology. The combatants of the two families engaged in conspiracy, assassination and armed conflict in the city. When they arrived in Eastport, they became close engineering partners.
Because the alliance is also worried about the issue of land transportation.
The ancient Kaldorei roads that have been in disrepair cannot carry large-scale land vehicles with loads of dozens of tons. The Glory Orcs are very self-aware and do not think about taking more and taking more than they can eat. His Majesty, Grand Marshal Carlos Instruct us to complete the dock construction of Donggang as soon as possible, then we will give priority to completing the main tasks.
As for the road construction in the middle, isn't Ms. Gianna in the city?
When mentioning "lady", the Alliance Tribe always thinks of that lady first. She is a person who combines PTSD, isn't she?
This is actually an illusion, a cognitive illusion.
Sylvanas just happened to be in the right place, stepping on the cusp of the storm and acting as a target in the void.
It's just good luck. The Alliance has been winning. If there was a big defeat, Sylvanas might not be able to escape the fate of taking advantage of others.
As that woman's strategic partner, Ms. Jaina, who has extraterritorial jurisdiction over Theramore, is the real shadow player.
After all, more than 40% of the Eastern Kingdom's overseas black money is laundered by Theramore Bank, and the remaining 30% is transferred to the port area of Boralus, the largest port city in the Kingdom of Kul Tiras, which Theramore cannot afford. The bank helped wash it.
Although Jaina took the benefit from Kael'thas and came to Elre'Thalas to serve as Silvermoon City's agent, this does not mean that Jaina will fight to the death with Suramar.
Work belongs to work, and life belongs to life. If the card boy in the alliance pays the bill, there is no business that cannot be discussed.
So when Maiev Shadowsong, who was recruiting troops, saw Jaina Proudmoore for the second time in Elre'Thalas, she always had a sense of déjà vu. Why did this human girl look so similar to that person?
Maiev Shadowsong was so dazed for a moment that she couldn't remember the sudden burst of inspiration.
Forget it, it’s none of her business.
"What are you doing, Lady Proudmoore."
"I want to discuss a business deal with Lord Watcher."
"what business?"
"Natural asphalt in northern Un'Goro Crater."
"Um?"
Maiev Shadowsong was stunned. What kind of business is this? If the Alliance wants it, go dig it yourself.
"My friends and I hope that Ms. Maiev can exert influence on Commander-in-Chief Fandral to help the night elves nationalize these natural asphalt mines."
"???"
"This is a trivial amount of hard work. Just be careful. I hope Ms. Maiwi won't refuse."
Looking at the piece of paper that Jaina skillfully sent, Maiev Shadowsong knew that this was the alliance's highest level magical encrypted check.
Oh, Maiev was planning to scold Jaina contemptuously for her impure thoughts.
But as if by some strange coincidence, the Lord of Watch Castle turned over the check that shone with magic and glanced at the numbers on it with his peripheral vision.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, eight zero...
"Fandral Staghelm is Malfurion's direct disciple."
"Yes, except for Ms. Maiev, who else has such prestige to influence Commander-in-Chief Fandral."
"I can only pass on a message for you, but there is no guarantee of success."
"Of course, this is just for your hard work, Ms. Maiev. If the matter is completed, there will be another reward."
"Okay. I'll take a trip tomorrow...this afternoon."
"Do you need me to contact Suramar's phase technician to perform emergency maintenance on your spacecraft?"
"No... that's fine, hurry up."
Jaina stood up with a smile and took out another small card.
"Sha'dorei's technology is quite advanced, but it is inconvenient to maintain. Ms. Maiev, when you buy another spaceship, you can contact this company. They have business dealings with the Second Alterac Shipping Company. Regardless of It’s okay to queue up an order or make an expedited appointment.”
Oh, it's a business card.
Maiev also stood up and sent Jaina away with a smile.
Ha, what a duplicitous woman.
Maiev wanted to scold Jaina like this.
But...
