Azeroth Shadow of the Moon

After the vanguards of the Hidden Passage and Cenarion Council entered Silithus, they first sent scouts with stealth ability to conduct a secret exploration of the entire desert.

Although there are various large and small insect nests in the Silithus Desert, the most noteworthy giant insect nests are only four and a half.

The first to bear the brunt is the Yago nest not far to the west of the staghelm post, which was named by Fandral himself.

Not far to the south of Yago's nest, there is a large bug colony. The group of bugs used the original mountain structure to build a bug nest column. Countless bugs hovered above the mountain. Fandral called it the column of bug swarms.

The Pillar of the Swarm can only be regarded as half a giant insect nest. In its southeast direction, at the foot of the mountain where Uldum and Silithus meet, there is another nest - Regal's nest.

In addition to the Zora nest on the west side of the Pillar of the Swarm, which is also close to the edge of the mountain, and the Christa nest in the Crystal Valley northwest of Silithus, each of the four and a half insect nests has a large number of defenders.

Now the Dragon Clan has not arrived yet, and they don't know when they will arrive. The most urgent task is to ensure the smooth flow of logistics supply routes.

Although the camp in Un'Goro Crater is still available, it obviously doesn't have the capacity to support millions of troops.

Garald had already thought up a plan. After the troops of various ethnic groups had stationed around the deer helmet post one after another, he summoned all the high-level officials of the various ethnic groups to hold a military meeting in the deer helmet post.

As the host of the Kalimdor continent, Andrea took the lead in speaking after seeking Dawn's consent.

Everyone, we still have a lot of problems to solve, but first, we need to determine the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

After scanning the different expressions of everyone present, Andrea continued, Snakes can't do without heads. The troops present are from all over the world, and their fighting styles are also varied. It depends on the situation. More reinforcements will come later.

If we just fight on our own, I'm afraid it will be difficult to exert the maximum combat effectiveness of the coalition forces. Therefore, I propose that we elect a commander-in-chief and let him coordinate the overall situation and formulate strategies. What do you think?

Dawn agreed without hesitation. He said in the characteristic thick voice of the Tauren, I agree that a scattered army can easily be defeated by the Qiraji Empire.

I believe that everyone has already gained a preliminary understanding of the bug pullers through the battle of the deer helmet sentry. Regardless of combat effectiveness or discipline, these bugs are not comparable to the miscellaneous fish we have faced before.

Dawn turned his head and looked at the night elves headed by Andrea, Although it's an exaggeration to say so, we'd better treat the Qiraji Empire as an enemy at the level of the Burning Legion.

The Zandalari Prophet Gongjara nodded solemnly and said, I don't want others to destroy my prestige, but Zandalari once had a large-scale war with the Yaqi Empire. According to the records of our ancestors, we actually won that war. Not very pretty.

If the Amani Empire hadn't used countless lives to forcibly kill Kisix and completely hit the morale of the Yaqi Empire, it would be hard to say the final outcome of that war.

Although looking at the overall situation, it is true that the troll empire won the victory, but it was only because the Yaqi empire lost the will to fight after the death of Hijiks, and their main force did not suffer a devastating blow. Both sides should be regarded as losers .

Seeing that the three parties reached an agreement, Andrea took advantage of the opportunity to push Garrod out.

I have a suitable candidate. Jarod Shadowsong, the commander-in-chief of the coalition who once led the coalition of all ethnic groups to fight against the Burning Legion and made great contributions in the war.

Dawn, who had just received the assistance of the night elves, stood up again to express his approval.

I have no objection. The talent of Commander Shadowsong has been mentioned many times in the totem records handed down by our ancestors. I believe in his ability.

On the Zandalar side, the Loa High Priest Babik was resting with his eyes closed, wondering if he was communicating with the Loa God through meditation.

The war druid Ajel and the army commander Debish exchanged glances, and nodded to the prophet Gongala successively to express their approval.

Although they would like to let the Zandalari dominate the command of this war, the Zandalari, which has lasted for tens of thousands of years, value the overall situation of the war more.

The Zandalari were not directly involved in the War of the Ancients, but they kept an eye on both sides in that war.

Of course they have heard of Garald's name, and he has experience in commanding coalition forces of various races as the commander-in-chief. From the perspective of the overall situation, the Zandalari can barely accept it.

The army gathered here has not yet reached its limit. The tauren have only come to 100,000 people. They are urgently relocating their homes.

The same goes for Zandalar. Prophet Gongara only brought about 100,000 vanguards this time. The main force, including Loa, needs to be transported by the Gold Fleet multiple times. It is initially estimated that about 300,000 will arrive one after another. .

This is still under the premise that they need to leave a lot of troops to guard against the blood trolls.

The Southern Legion led by Shandris has about 250,000 people including various types of arcane puppets, and the reinforcements Garrod brought from Anakis are almost the same number.

But this is only the strength of Anarchis, the huge navy of the Night Republic has not been dispatched, and all important strongholds including Black Rook Fort, Night City, Storm Harbor, Auberdine, Astrana, etc. have not issued a full mobilization order. .

Even without considering the limit of using the militia, the night elves can mobilize more than one million troops.

Including the Highmountain Tauren who had promised to send troops, as well as the natural allies of the dragons and night elves, the total number of troops was already very large. There was no need for the night elves to use all their troops, as it would make the Zandalar vigilant.

With such a huge army, it is not a joke that people eat horses and chew the food they need to consume every day.

The Zandalari trolls prepared a lot of food just in case, but the supply line was too long to transport it all the way from Zandalar Island.

After officially taking office as the commander-in-chief, the first thing Jarod talked about was the issue of supplies.

After discussing with the tauren, we have decided to use the southern core city of Eressalas as the logistics center, and all supplies will be sent from this hidden city.

please wait.

Restricted Gongara asked with a frown, I have also studied the map of Kalimdor. IMHO, the straight-line distance between Eresalas and Silithus is indeed very close, but it takes a long detour to start from land. ?”

Garrod nodded, Yes, so we are going to transport the food by air.

Walking to the Kalimdor map at the command post, Jarod reached out and swiped down from Eldre's Salas.

If a supply station is established in the Un'Goro crater, not to mention the risk of being cut off by the Qiraji Empire, the supply line is too long. After all, it is a big hidden danger. The food lost due to various reasons on the road is It's enough to hurt.

Thinking about it from another angle, if we use air transportation, we can complete the supply in the shortest distance.

Gongala nodded thoughtfully, That's a good idea, but does the Night Republic have enough flying mounts to complete the airlift?

Jarod said confidently, Yes, it happens that our natural allies include heavy air units like the Chimera.

The number of wild chimeras that responded to Cenarius' call this time was quite large, and Andrea was reluctant to send them to the front line to be consumed. He was making up his mind to keep these chimeras.

Garrod agreed with Andrea's idea very much. After some discussion, the two decided to let Chimera take on the heavy responsibility of delivering supplies, so that they could avoid going directly to the front line.

Dawn looked at the marks on the map and touched his chin, But in this way, there are two problems that need to be solved first.

Yes.

Garrod nodded, The Yago and Christa nests are blocking our air supply route. We must gather our forces to clear these two insect swarm strongholds as soon as possible.
