Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 199: Assembly

Duke wanted to swear right then and there.

Isn't this nonsense? Damn the North Coast. Historically, Orgrim's army didn't go there at all.

Llane saw Duke's displeasure and put his arm around Duke's shoulder as he walked to the Alliance Headquarters in Southshore. It was a stone bunker about four stories high. This bunker was built at the end of last month. It could overlook the sea and was far enough away from the sea to be safe. More importantly, if they didn't capture the two hills that sandwiched Southshore on both sides, they couldn't threaten this place.

And those two hills were fortified by Duke early on.

Looking at the map, Llane spoke continuously in one breath.

"In fact, our strength here is also very strong. Most of the troops will still gather here. After all, the Alliance chose to station here because this place is located in the center of the entire Eastern Kingdom continent. We can quickly use ships to travel to any corner of this continent."

"We already have 50,000 veterans, 50,000 new recruits, and nearly 100,000 militiamen who have undergone simple military training. Of course, this is all our old capital. If we use it all up, there will be almost no men left in Stormwind Kingdom."

"What we lack are cavalry and archers. Fortunately, within three days, the Highland Knights and the 3rd Infantry Regiment of Stromgarde will arrive, so we can have 1,000 cavalry and 6,000 light infantry. Almost at the same time, the Mountain Eagle Knights and the 2nd Mountain Infantry Regiment of Alterac will arrive, also with light equipment."

"In four days, the Second Mage Regiment of Dalaran and the First and Second Infantry Regiments will arrive. It will take at least ten days for Grand Duke Mograine of Lordaeron and General Abendis's Scarlet Crusade to arrive."

After listening to Llane's narration, Duke sighed.

Considering the military mobilization capabilities of this era, this is already a remarkable speed.

Don't think that the Highland Knights of Stromgarde are stationed next to the Thoradin Wall between Arathi Highlands and Hillsbrad Foothills. It's less than a day's ride from east to west to Southshore.

In fact, the army was on the march, and there were so many things to do as the stars in the sky. This was because the orcs were coming, and all countries had already entered a state of war preparedness. If it was peacetime, it would probably take longer.

Similarly, Dalaran, located northwest of Southshore, and Alterac, located in the north, are not far away. They can be reached in one day by fast horses. Duke was very lucky to be able to reach them so quickly. And these standing troops are also the foundation of each country. If Duke easily wipes them out, it will not be so easy to ask for them again.

On November 5, when the last batch of scheduled soldiers arrived at the huge barracks outside Southshore, two commanders, seven big men whose titles were written as admirals and read as kings, and more than 30 generals had gathered in this mountaintop command post.

Everyone praised the military camp that Duke had arranged in advance.

A large circle of wooden walls was built in advance, arrow towers were placed in reasonable positions, and each military camp was close to the river, making it very convenient to get water. At the same time, several wide roads were planned in advance for the army's attack. With this arrangement, the generals of various countries almost thought they were leading their troops on a long-distance training.

Turalyon, Lothar's lieutenant, reported intelligence to the kings.

"First, here's the information from the Bronzebeard dwarves. Ironforge is still under siege by nearly a hundred thousand orcs. Based on the comparison of the battle flags, the main force of the siege should be the Bleeding Hollow Clan of the Horde." Turalyon first placed ten small sculptures on Ironforge, symbolizing ten thousand orcs.

"Then there is the Thandol Bridge. After repeated reconnaissance by the Griffin Riders of Stromgarde, there are no less than 50,000 orcs here." Turalyon placed five more orc figurines on the bridge.

"The last is the wetlands. According to the reconnaissance of the Nagas and fishmen led by Vice Commander Edmund, more than 200,000 orc laborers have built at least 20,000 transport ships on the wetlands on the southern coast of the ocean. A small transport ship can carry about 30 orc warriors, and a medium-sized one can carry about 100 people. No large ships have been found on the other side for the time being."

"Then we confirmed the banners of the major clans in the Horde camp in the wetlands, including Blackrock, Warsong, Fireblade, Dragonmaw, Stormravager, Duskhammer, and Blackscar. Including the orc laborers, the total number of the Horde is conservatively estimated to be more than 600,000."

Fortunately, the map is large enough, measuring three meters by three meters, otherwise the small area of ​​the wetland would not be able to accommodate 60 orc sculptures.

"Wow—" Although they knew the orcs were powerful, after knowing their numbers, the leaders couldn't help but exclaimed: "All the troops in Southshore combined only have more than 200,000."

"What are you afraid of? If all the ships are of this kind, even if there are 10 times more, I, Kul Tiras, can destroy them all without the alliance." Admiral Daelin said confidently.

Indeed, even though the Southshore dock was expanded again and again by Duke, there were five stone docks, like five human fingers, extending to nearly 150 meters from the coast, but it still could not accommodate all the ships. freёwebnoѵel.com

Through the windows of the fortress, the kings looked out at the sea in front of them. Proudmoore's ships were not only parked everywhere, but also moored along the entire coastline, from small fast scout ships to standard destroyers, to huge warships over a hundred meters long. With the rise and fall of the waves, a forest of masts rose and fell on the sea.

You have to know that these are only the First and Third Fleets of Kul Tiras, plus the Storm Fleet with only one hundred warships, and there is also a Second Fleet in the waters off the North Stream Coast, and the Kul Tiras native defense fleet has not yet been deployed.

Every king felt a sense of pride and suddenly became confident. How could anyone or anything be able to resist such a powerful fleet?

No, not just the fleet!

After the initial surprise and discomfort, the tactics of both sides began to take shape, and the casualty ratio of the human side began to plummet. From the initial 1 orc warrior for 10 human soldiers, it has now become 1 for 2 to 3 at most. If the human soldiers are well-organized, even in a plain battle, 100 human soldiers with complete arms can easily defeat 100 orc warriors.

But then, Lothar unconsciously recalled the following scene - he saw again the scene in his mind where the remaining tribes captured the Redridge Mountains' defenses, swept through Elwynn Forest, and massacred the entire Stormwind Kingdom.

It was a green ocean that no one could truly block!

Lothar took a deep breath, and his expression became resolute again. Stormwind Kingdom used to be weak, but now the Alliance army is many times stronger than the previous Stormwind Kingdom. They can contain the offensive of the Horde.
