The New Order of Azeroth

v2 Chapter 523: protracted war

Vanessa and the generals have been busy for three days. Unlike Lich King's method of framing A, the coalition forces have a lot of work to do. Even if the coalition forces' internal thinking is unified, it often takes time to put The meaning of the upper level is faithfully passed on to the soldiers below. There are too many things to worry about in this process.

The west side of the Gate of Holy Light focuses on infantry and cavalry. Lordaeron plus the Dwarf Kingdom, a total of 120 steam tanks are placed inside the pass. They will be the main force for the next attack.

On the east side, there are mainly wounded soldiers and recruits. The Gate of Light was taken down, and the undead army was blocked in Icecrown Glacier.

At this time, the entire Dragonblight, including the Borean Tundra in the west, and the Grizzly Bear Hills and Howling Fjord in the east, are considered safe. From the Gate of Light to the Vordassil Camp, and then all the way south to the new Hearth Valley by the sea, relying on this supply line, all kinds of materials can enter the Gate of Light in an endless stream, and the pressure on transportation is not considered. too big.

Vanessa secretly asked Miss Lula to purify the entire military fortress. The paladins who didn't know the truth woke up and found out, huh? Why is there such a strong holy light suddenly appearing here? The Holy Light has manifested! Praise the Holy Light!

Not to mention the paladins of Lordaeron, even the paladins of Quel'Thalas, Khaz Modan, and the Kingdom of Stormwind all looked excited.

"Your Highness, we have wiped out more than 50,000 undead soldiers on the east side of the Gate of Light, including the elite death knights led by Farien, and the undead soldiers who fought later, but the vampires from Salein Few were killed, and Lana Thiel ran away as soon as the battle was heard."

Old Fording is currently positioned as an adjutant, and it is his main job to summarize and report all the information to Vanessa.

Vanessa nodded insignificantly. Some thieves reported to her that Lana Thiel had said a few words to Kael'thas on the battlefield. After that, the vampire queen transformed from a blood elf fled the battlefield.

She is noncommittal about this. Lana Thiel was once a hero. She followed Kael'thas and Illidan on the expedition to Northrend. After dying in battle, she was resurrected by the Lich King. It can be said that Illidan and Kael'thas couldn't see the situation clearly, so they forcibly sent them away, and ran back after the defeat, killing all their subordinates. The incompetent is the leader, not the soldiers who follow orders and fight to the death.

Now seeing the old subordinates, Kael'thas and Lana Thiel said a few words, it's no big deal.

Vanessa doesn't think that Kael'thas will go to the Lich King, the chance is so small that it is infinitely close to zero.

"I see, please continue."

Old Fording's tone then became excited: "We can't count the number of enemies killed in the west gate for the time being, but I think the number of enemies killed should be far more than that in the east gate. A conservative estimate should be between 100,000 and 150,000 .”

One east and one west, the total number of undead soldiers killed exceeded 200,000. This is an undisputed victory.

This also includes a large number of death knights and Salein vampires. The battle results of the coalition forces at the Holy Light's Gate can be described as brilliant.

The total number of 600,000 undead suddenly decreased by 200,000, which is definitely good news for the coalition forces.

Before, one soldier needed to deal with three undead, but now it only needs to deal with two.

"What about the losses of the coalition forces?"

Speaking of this, Old Fording sighed: "More than 8,000 soldiers died in battle, and more than 5,000 were injured. These people's injuries are relatively serious, and it is difficult to go back to the battlefield."

Injuries in Azeroth generally refer to serious injuries, injuries that cannot be completely healed even with the use of holy light and natural power.

Some suffered severe mental trauma, and saw their comrades killed beside them, and they couldn't accept it mentally. Not to mention the Holy Light and the power of nature, it would be difficult for a Titan to heal this situation.

Some were infected with the power of the undead, or were bitten by a Salein vampire, in which case the limb must be amputated. The root of the healing technique is actually to speed up the self-healing speed of the cells. If the subject is already suffering from five fatigues and seven injuries, he can't just use spells to heal at this time. He could live for ten years, but after a treatment, he immediately enters the state of backlight , it would be better to die.

For the coalition forces, the wounded can be regarded as withdrawing from the battle.

Vanessa repeated the figures: "13,000 people... Lordaeron will be responsible for the funeral of the sacrificed soldiers and injured soldiers. Notify the country and let them deal with this matter first. Compensation and compensation Follow-up treatment is arranged."

Compensation and follow-up arrangements for the wounded need money. Of the 13,000 casualties, Lordaeron accounted for more than 8,000 casualties. A full army was destroyed, and the rest were from the dwarves and Gilneas. Losses, after all, there are only a small number of Gilneans who transform into werewolves, and the overall combat effectiveness is still a little bit worse. Vanessa waved her hand, Lordaeron will pay for these compensations.

The first two pursuits accounted for 3,000 casualties, and the last three days of persistence cost roughly another 10,000 casualties.

There were a lot of casualties, but all of this was worth it. Even those who don't know much about military affairs will know that the situation of the coalition forces is very good when they see the location of the Gate of Holy Light.

In the time and space when there was no Lordaeron and Vanessa rose up, the Alliance and the Horde also attacked Scourge, but faced with the strong attack of the Lich King and the betrayal of the Forsaken, the advance army was wiped out.

Old Fording was forced to take people away from Crystal Song Forest~lightnovelpub.net~Cleared the three death gates of Modereza, Orduza and Coresa in a row, and finally used the black technology of flying battleship to bring them back. The team parachuted into Icecrown Citadel and played a beautiful decapitation operation.

It is reflected in the game that there is a high mountain behind the Scourge's Gate, and on the top of the mountain is the Icecrown Fortress. In reality, this is impossible. The Lich King is full of food, so he built a huge military fortress at the foot of the mountain? What is he plotting? Farmhouse? The Alliance and the Horde are also overwhelmed, to attack such a military fortress with no way behind?

The real situation is that there is a road, not to mention that the road is very flat. In the direction close to the glacier, the Lich King used the ability of nerubians and countless undead to dig through the mountains. There is an underground tunnel in the Gate of Light The road that is ten times wider can lead directly to the bottom of Icecrown Fortress.

The scouts sent back a message that the tunnel opened by the Nerubian was very strong, not only could it be used for large armies to fight, even steam tanks could rampage through the tunnel.

Vanessa did not attack rashly. She asked the coalition forces to build a line of defense every 500 meters. She would rely on her strong defense to wipe out the numerical advantage of the undead army. By the way, she trained troops to strengthen the interior of the newborn Lordaeron. cohesion.

For this reason, she bought a large amount of food from the goblins, and it will be no problem to fight for another half a year!
