Chapter 87 Half-Year Plan to Recapture Stormwind City
On the battlefield littered with corpses, a colorful metal giant stood in the ashes, making the coalition soldiers marvel at it.
Although Sir Lothar is a hard-working melee professional, he is one of the few knowledgeable people in the coalition.
Looking at the ten-meter-high behemoth, he was very impressed by the wealth of the High Elf Kingdom.
Even if the entire human kingdom were tied together, it would be difficult to afford the construction cost of this metal giant made of enchanted Thorium.
Of course, this is Sir Lothar's evaluation from his own perspective.
The Magic Kingdom of Dalaran had long since broken away from the backward serfdom system, and the mages' financial resources far exceeded Sir Lothar's imagination.
Therefore, the mages definitely do not approve it.
In the opinion of Khadgar and Kel'Thuzad, the cost of building this giant puppet was very high, and it would require the Magic Kingdom of Dalaran to spend most of its wealth.
But if you want to drive it, this is a bit difficult!
The magic source Dalaran possesses does not produce energy well water.
Using other magic powers, I couldn't find a suitable one.
Certain artifacts are available, but who is willing to contribute the artifacts?
Without powerful enough magical power, how can such a large puppet be driven?
Financial resources alone cannot make the giant puppet move.
The reality is so cruel!
Only high elves in this world are qualified to squander financial resources.
The two archmages from Dalaran didn't know that in addition to the Sunwell, there was also the Nightwell and the more powerful Well of Eternity.
And the legacy left by the Titans also has a powerful energy source.
Otherwise, what do the Tievikul, the ancestors of humans, rely on to drive themselves?
It’s impossible to stuff an engine into your belly and just drink fuel when you have nothing to do, right?
Seeing Khadgar and Kel'Thuzad staring at the demigod arcane puppet with envy.
Herard walked over and said hello, and then recommended this expensive artifact to rule the country.
"You two can propose to the six-person council to build one to protect the city. It is
not difficult in terms of technology. It is to enlarge the arcane puppet and equip it with enchanted Thorium armor."
Although Herad's suggestion is good, Ka Degar and Kel'Thuzad could only smile bitterly.
The technical aspect is really not difficult.
But in terms of financial resources, especially magical power, this is very difficult!
According to Herard's idea, since Dalaran can only afford one demigod-level arcane puppet, it should use a suitable artifact as a power source.
For example, the Eye of Dalaran is a mage artifact specializing in arcane magic.
It is said that a mage who holds the Eye of Dalaran can lift thousands of tons of boulders with his mage hands.
That huge arcane energy is perfect for driving arcane puppets!
However, he never thought about who would calmly hand over the artifact in his hand.
In fact, if someone were to ask Harad to hand over the Doomhammer now.
His first reaction was to raise the Doomhammer and smash the man's dog head into pieces.
Therefore, if you want to take away the Eye of Dalaran, the mage will definitely be unwilling to do so.
What's the difference between taking other people's artifacts and robbing them?
Dalaran is a loose alliance of mages, founded on freedom and a strong academic atmosphere.
If you really try to rob the mage's artifact, you will undoubtedly be destroying yourself!
However, Dalaran, which is suffering from many disasters, really needs a demigod-level arcane puppet.
But the stubbornness of the Dalaran Council of Six cannot be described in words.
Even the previously recommended anti-aircraft guns were rejected by them.
The reason is Dalaran's ability to protect the city's airspace.
If it were like in the game, with hundreds of red dragons besieging Dalaran, it would not be nonsense to destroy the city and the island.
Fortunately, there are not many orc red dragon troops left.
Dalaran's first crisis of city destruction should probably never happen.
The next few times, even Herard didn't know if he could avoid it.
Who knows when Deathwing will recover from his injuries and then help Talon Gorefiend to rob the Eye of Dalaran and smash the city into rubble?
The destructive power of the Destroying Dragon is definitely impressive!
As for the time when Archimonde crushed Dalaran with the city-destroying technique, Herad didn't even know how to avoid it.
In the game, Archimonde promoted Dalaran as soon as he came on stage to show off his powerful force.
Harad could only hope that Dalaran was lucky enough not to be chosen by Archimonde.
Or Archimonde moves slowly enough. Before he could destroy Dalaran, he was besieged and killed by a large number of demigods.
This is undoubtedly a gamble on one's own luck.
But if Dalaran was willing to gamble, there was nothing Harad could do.
He turned to discuss with Sir Lothar how to speed up the process and strive to regain Stormwind City in half a year.
The plan to regain Stormwind City in half a year sounds a bit unbelievable.
You must know that it took half a year for hundreds of thousands of refugees in Stormwind City to flee.
When the tribal army advanced from south to north, it also took a long time to arrive.
"Orgrim is dead, and the tribe no longer has a qualified commander. They are just a group of brainless beasts!" Held
raised the Doomhammer as he spoke.
His action startled Sir Lothar.
Don't look at the appearance of Doomhammer.
As Orgrim's old rival, Sir Lothar recognized this artifact hammer at a glance.
The ability of the artifact hammer to smash everything made Sir Lothar terrified.
Many brave warriors and knights were killed by the swords smashed by this magical hammer.
Even if his great royal sword is made of the highest-end arcana, he would not dare to collide with this artifact hammer easily.
Discovering the powerful deterrence of the Doomhammer, Horad embarrassedly placed it under the table.
Not seeing Doomhammer, who had committed numerous murders, Sir Lothar calmed down.
He tapped his index finger on the table, deducing the next battle situation in his mind.
Finally he made up his mind.
"That difficult guy is dead, and the tribe will definitely fall into chaos. This is indeed a good opportunity to regain Stormwind City!"
Herard immediately told Sir Lothar the relevant details.
For example, don't get entangled with the tribe in the wetlands, and use the fastest speed to pacify Dun Morogh.
There is a little bit of selfishness in Harad here.
But quickly rescuing the Bronzebeard dwarves and gnomes is very important.
When the time comes, in order to thank the coalition forces, they will definitely express their gratitude with all their sincerity.
If the siege of the tribal army was solved by themselves.
Then it will be difficult to get them to help.
The two forces, the Bronzebeard dwarves and the gnomes, are not only the local snakes of Dun Morogh, but their control also extends to the Desolate Land and the Scorching Canyon.
This will facilitate rapid passage through these two harsh areas.
Ser Lothar was keen on sound advice.
He immediately planned the coalition's next action plan.
The first is to retake Hillsbrad Foothills.
Then repair the port of Nanhai Town and cross the sea to attack the wetlands occupied by the tribe.
Looking at the large coalition forces preparing to return the same way, Herard helplessly stopped Sir Lothar and asked him to take the army to Stratholme.
Then rest in Stratholme and wait for boat transport.
He has informed the Kul Tiran fleet to rush to Stratholme.
The port in Stratholme is well constructed, so there will definitely be no problem docking large ships!
With the powerful transportation power of the Kul Tiran fleet.
Requisitioning some merchant ships will be enough to send the coalition forces to Nanhai Town.
Although the speed of the ship is not too fast.
But it will definitely be much faster than the army walking on the road.
The coalition soldiers were overjoyed to learn that they were going to Stratholme to rest and that there would be a ship to pick them up!
A march of more than 3,000 kilometers was still a bit too much for them, even if they were physically fit.
The morale of the coalition soldiers immediately rose after learning the good news.
Their pace also became very brisk, almost walking like a stranger.
However, in Herard's opinion, they just went to the city to have a rest and then take those old-fashioned wooden boats.
The happiness index of the soldiers is too low!
