From a tactical level, the outcome of the war will ultimately be determined by fighting on the front lines.
From a strategic perspective, the success or failure of a war only depends on whether the goals set before the war are achieved.
So what is the strategic purpose of the coalition forces?
Hahahahahaha, I already said it was a coalition force, how could such a thing exist? It doesn’t exist, okay?
The night elves just want to kill the Qiraji and drag other civilized races into the water.
The Horde feared that their absence from the war would push the night elves to the Alliance's side, hoping to keep Kalimdor neutral by keeping the night elves tethered.
Alliance, except for Carlos who is worried, everyone else in the alliance is here to make money.
Others, other forces are either here to make money or to cause trouble.
Therefore, apart from the common goal of killing the Qiraji Empire, there is no strategic goal that is generally agreed upon within the coalition.
Then another little cutie wants to ask, King Ka, Your Majesty, why can’t killing C’Thun or dismembering the Qiraji Empire be a strategic goal?
Sorry, we can't.
Because strategic interests are inconsistent.
Although somewhat cold-blooded, if the Qiraji are willing to cooperate with the Alliance to kill C'Thun, Carlos doesn't mind jumping back.
Why?
No more character designs!
Because there is no need.
As the last ancient god, C'Thun's death means that Carlos has at least one generation of peaceful development time. The biggest difference from other Azeroth time streams is that Carlos has already connected with Ulduar. After these difficult years, when Ulduar cleaned up the house and reopened the business, Kalimdor's opinions no longer mattered.
Both belong to the Titan camp, and even if the Aspect Dragon disapproves of Carlos's attempt to dominate the world, he will not openly intervene with force.
So although it was clear that C'Thun would not be a novice enough to condone the Qiraji's rebellion, Carlos's strategic goal in this war was actually set very low - C'Thun must die.
Really, this goal is really low. Gather all the current hero units to form a group and start decapitation tactics!
There is a high probability that this will happen.
It's a pity that the war cannot be continued, and it is basically impossible for an Azeroth heavenly group to appear with such a lineup.
Because the night elves' strategic goal is to maintain their dominance of Kalimdor, as for the continuation of the race, they have to make way for this common understanding of the entire race.
In the simple values of the night elves, Kalimdor is the Kalimdor of the night elves. As for other races, including the tribes, they just live on abandoned lands that the night elves look down upon.
This is what Carlos was surprised to find after actually communicating with a large number of ordinary night elves.
The arrogance of this race is rooted in the bones, and is engraved in the soul by tens of thousands of years of uninterrupted civilizational heritage.
Don't expect the night elves to take the initiative to change until they are on the verge of extinction.
As for the Horde, haha, the friendship between the Horde and the Kaldorei was completely forced by the Alliance.
If the Alliance weakens to the point where it is unable to fight across the sea, the Horde and the Kaldorei will inevitably fight, and Thrall will be unable to stop it.
Therefore, the current coalition is likely to be the first or even the last such extensive and representative world coalition in Azeroth's history.
Everyone is full of confidence, everyone has their own needs, and it seems like they can still make ends meet.
But Sal had already expressed his concerns to Carlos in a subtle way.
Carlos wasn't the only smart guy, Sal had figured this out.
That is, the two major factions of the night elves are using their internal military democracy to kidnap the Alliance and Horde.
The core and key figure is none other than Fandral Staghelm.
The banner of Marshal Jarod Shadowsong was raised, and the night elves who opposed Tyrande Whisperwind and Malfurion Stormrage were continuously gathering towards Elrethalas. Tyrande represented The former government organization of the night elves, Jarod
Representing the opposition alliance, and Fandral Staghelm as the greatest common denominator between the two, intentionally or unintentionally continues the hegemonic behavior of the overlord of Kalimdor.
That is, the Night Elves should increase their investment, and the Horde and Alliance should also increase their investment.
Does it make sense?
It seems reasonable. I, the night elf, put in two, and you allied tribes each put in one. It’s fair.
Fair, indeed fair, Brother Lu Helmet is upright.
The problem is that the society of the night elves before you was divided. You, the druid lineage, could only invest so much power. Now that Jarod is gone, the dispersed power of the opponents has also been gathered together, which is equivalent to an extra night elf coming out of thin air. times the power.
How can the Alliance and Horde follow this?
The Alliance can still use the excuse of insufficient transportation capacity, but the Horde has begun to bear tremendous pressure.
However, the Horde must stand with the night elves and make sure that the night elves will not wear the same pants as the alliance.
So Sal hoped that Carlos would take the initiative to raise this issue.
But who is the fool?
Carlos still had 300,000 troops in the Eastern Kingdom being reorganized and trained, waiting to board the ship. He still had more chips, so he followed in this round.
Okay, okay, your thick-browed Carlos is bullying the honest orcs, right?
Sal was a high-level gladiator who had studied at Dunholk University. He was afraid of anyone, so he not only followed the bet, but also increased the bet.
Gromsh Hellscream and his Warsong clan were once again activated by Thrall.
In more than a month, various armies in Silithus lost and lost. The overall battle line was still pushing southward towards the Gate of Quicksand, and Elrethalas, the ancient high-level elf metropolis, Because of the influx of new blood and capital, it is radiating unprecedented vitality.
This is exactly what Queen Azshara wishes for.
After understanding the current situation of Kalimdor, the Naga lurkers who had grown legs again agreed that if the Light of Light came ashore, Elre'Thalas would be the most ideal capital place.
Therefore, these high-quality ancient dignitaries were extremely dedicated to repairing the city.
Then, Garithos, who reorganized his troops, once again went to the front line of Silithus, and once again fell into a situation where he doubted his life.
Because the Qiraji finally came to an end in person.
Not only the Alliance army, but also the orcs and even the younger generation of the night elves, in previous wars, regarded the endless swarms of alien insects that covered the sky as the most terrifying means of the Qiraji empire.
This is a wrong and fatal perception.
Although Fandral Staghelm tried his best to persuade and compiled and printed a large number of insect-man response manuals, humanoids were like this and had a hard time understanding things they couldn't understand.
For example, the Qiraji infantry started at five meters, such as Anubisas started at thirty meters, such as the giant alien bug that could crush a steam tank with one foot, and there were as many as three to five hundred of these giant mutant bugs.
It's not scientific, or even magical. It's not like Garithos hasn't fought giant mantid worms in Pandaria. The question is, why are there so many?
Why are there so many! ! !
Didn't the night elves say that after the Battle of Quicksand, the Qiraji were sealed underground and were so poor that they had to eat dirt? Why, what, why were they so much stronger than the Mantid!
The answer is simple. For the evolution of the race, the mantid has been fighting a century-old war with the pandaren every hundred years, while the Qiraji have been fighting a war to break out of Silithus since the day they were sealed behind the Gate of Quicksand. savings.
This punch, with three thousand years of skill, even Fandral Staghelm, let alone Garithos, couldn't withstand it.
Retreat, Fandral Staghelm has only one order, and that is to retreat, to retreat across the board, to Cenarion Fortress.
When the Qiraji regular army appeared on the scene, the coalition's previous victory had become a joke. The hastily constructed defense facilities could not stop the mighty Qiraji at all. Regardless of the number or individual combat effectiveness, this round it was the Qiraji. An overwhelming advantage.
There is no shame in running away, running back to Cenarion Keep is victory!
Finally, the Alliance and the Horde no longer used ground anti-aircraft fire positions to target the Qiraji's air units. The 40-meter swords and spears in the hands of the Anubisas were too deadly for the Alliance and Horde's spaceships.
Losing air superiority, the coalition forces were defeated across the board.
In the end, Tyrande turned the tide and took the initiative to leave Cenarion Fortress, which was blessed by leyline nodes. He rushed to the front line and unleashed a large-scale Starfall, blocking the pursuit of the Qiraji and cutting off the retreat of the hurriedly fleeing coalition forces.
Isn't the priestess handsome this time? Yes, the fallen arcane stars are as beautiful as they are deadly.
It was just that after Tyrande used a wave of super magic, he sent himself directly to the ICU.
At this point, the coalition forces finally understood what kind of opponent they were facing.
At this point, the Alliance and the Horde finally understood why the night elves fought so fiercely in the Quicksand War.
Will the tribe be afraid?
Not really.
Will the alliance be afraid?
Not even that.
Garithos's forces once again suffered more than half their casualties, but the Warmaster was more angry than the first time.
"What are the scouts doing? With such a level of troop concentration, why didn't any news come back? Only after the Qiraji formation was completed and they rolled up to us did we realize that the enemy was going to attack! All the scouts rebelled, where is the mage? ? Where’s the arcane eye, where’s the prophecy spell!”
Garithos was not convinced. The Qiraji were not an invincible army. The Alliance's heavy firepower could still effectively kill the Qiraji. The lack of intelligence was the most fatal cause of defeat.
However, Garithos's angry words were right this time. Among the Qiraji, there are spellcasting units that are proficient in psychic and prophetic abilities.
The scouts sent by the coalition forces really controlled the mind, and the Qiraji spell casters did block the spell prying eyes of the magicians on the coalition side. C'Thun even directly interfered with the prophecy spells to spy on the Quicksand Gate. .
Unlike the Alliance and Horde armies, which acted as partial divisions, the night elves suffered heavy casualties in this battle.
The Alliance and Horde also had wheeled transport vehicles that could be used to escape. If Tyrande did not take action, 99% of the night elves who were the main attackers on the front line would be surrounded and annihilated by the main force of the Qiraji.
What's worse is that the Alliance and Horde are not convinced and want to fight again, and the night elves are scared.
Kalecgos is in a very difficult position. Although he is the representative of the Dragon Legion, he cannot fully represent the Dragon Legion. If His Majesty Malygos and Alexstrasza do not come, the young blue dragon will soon be unable to bear this. Huge pressure.
