Crossing the Other World: My Warcraft System

Chapter 974: Wind Rising from the Desert (Revised)

Seen from the air, a hundred thousand gnolls were marching on the mountain path like army ants, a black mass that stretched as far as the eye could see.

They wore light leather armor on their short bodies. The ogres in the front row were relatively strong, holding sharp engineering shovels, while the ogres in the back carried a musket in one hand and had their ammunition bags hanging on their belts.

There were also some dog-headed men pushing a four-wheeled cart in pairs, which was filled with all kinds of bombs!

When Garin saw this type of soldier, he was stunned. Is this a kobold engineer, or a kobold suicide soldier?

At the top of the mountain path, Flintag smiled smugly at the werewolf next to him who was a body taller than him.

"Well, Hogg, I'm the better one this time!"

There was a reason for Flinttag's complacency. This time his master was recruiting warriors, and as the king of the ogres, he directly pulled out 100,000 ogres.

Although among the 100,000 Gnolls only those elite Gnoll foreman holding engineer shovels are elite, there are also those Gnoll engineers who are fearless and brave.

The other kobolds were only of low-level strength, but Flinttag found a different way and sold all the ore accumulated after supplying it to the overlord to the goblins in exchange for a large number of hot weapons.

A large number of ants can kill an elephant. The geomancer doesn't believe that so many ogre musketeers can't exchange one for one with the insect people!

"Is it so great that you can reproduce?"

Hogg had a look of disdain on his face. Compared to the Kobolds who took the route of numbers, Hogg chose the route of elite troops after annexing several Gnoll clans. He not only provided the Hidden Blade Force with a large number of high-level Gnoll Lurkers, but also many Gnoll Hunters and Berserkers.

However, this time the master made it clear that what he needed was a large number of cannon fodder to hold back the Qiraji insects, so the gnolls did lose to the kobolds this time.

"You win this time."

"Quack quack!"

Flintag smiled happily.

Under the command of Khadgar, the Crusaders crossed the Cenarion Hold and headed towards Hive Regg in the southeast.

At the end of the army formation, the tanks of the heavy tank regiment each pulled a cannon. They did not follow the main force, but instead stationed in the fortress.

Soon after, a temporary artillery position with a thousand cannons took shape, their muzzles pointing towards the Yash insect nest in the northwest!

The steam tanks with their artillery removed surrounded the insect nest!

"Sir, are we going to blow something up?"

"That's right, now I'm issuing the mission. The insect nest ahead, firepower coverage bombing!"

"Come on baby!"

"Cannon fire roars!"

The words of these goblins, gnomes, and dwarves echoed over the magical communications between artillery positions and steam tanks.

As the order was given, the artillery position took the lead in launching an attack!

Thousands of artillery pieces roared and fired the prepared incendiary bombs!

Long!

Long!

Long!

The entire area surrounding Cenarion Fortress rumbled, and even the hilltop where the fortress was located could feel the violent shaking!

Those incendiary bombs fell into the insect nest like a rain of fire!

In an instant, the entire insect nest turned into a sea of ​​fire!

The Qiraji insects that stayed in the hive last night suffered an unprecedented blow. They were lifted up and thrown away by the huge fire shock wave, and were dismembered into countless pieces in the air.

Even if they did not die on the spot, they would be ignited by the burning flames and turned into charcoal while struggling.

The surviving insects rushed out of the nest frantically, trying to attack the enemies approaching the nest.

Unfortunately, it was too late, the tank's gun muzzle had blocked all the exits from the hive!

boom! boom! boom!

Really a barrage of artillery fire!

Today, Garen has finally achieved fire freedom in Azeroth!

The artillery fire lasted for half an hour. The artillerymen didn't know how much ammunition they had loaded, and they continued firing without the commander telling them to stop.

Under the coverage of firepower, the entire desert where the insect nest was located was bombed into a deep pit, and the surface of the pit even formed a layer of glass-like crystals due to the high temperature!

Eventually, they got the order to stop firing, and smoke was emanating from the muzzles of the tanks and artillery.

After waiting for more than ten minutes and observing no signs of insect activity, the commander issued an order to evacuate.

"Well done, guys!"

“Done, let’s go!”

The Yash hive was destroyed in less than an hour, and it was conservatively estimated that there were at least 20,000 Qiraji workers inside.

If infantry were sent to clean up the situation, it would probably take most of the day, and the march of the coalition forces would be delayed. Therefore, the wealthy Garin gave up tactical penetration and chose artillery coverage.

To be honest, Garen really wanted to build the entire Azeroth army into a modern army, but the capabilities of the troops in the Heart of Origin were fixed, so he had to give up the idea of ​​equipping all troops with hot weapons.

In addition, this universe is a high-magic universe. Even if the Burning Legion has star destroyers and the Draenei and the Legion of Light have spaceships, the supreme combat power is still the true God with powerful energy, and the army is only auxiliary.

For example, the God of Storms, his Titanstrike is only used for traveling and hunting. When it comes to real battles, he still uses his own warhammer.

The destruction of the Yash Hive gave the coalition forces a stable rear base.

Without any threat, Cenarion Fortress became the coalition's base camp, and a steady supply of food, water, artillery shells and other supplies were sent to this logistics base.

Not only that, the Crusaders' four aerial warships also arrived at the same time. They floated above the Cenarion Fortress, waiting for Garen's orders at any time.

Three days later, Garen received the latest military intelligence from Fandral and Khadgar in the base camp. They had each completed the first strategic goal. The Regal and Zora hives had been destroyed, and the army had arrived at the city of Angela.

The plan went smoothly, except that the Twilight Cult, which Garin had been wary of for a long time, showed no movement. According to Maiev's report, the cultists of the Twilight's Hammer had been active in the desert several years ago, and they even built three secret camps on the edge of the desert.

Even as the army marched forward, no trace of them was found, and only the empty camps proved that they had stayed there.

Garen used his backup to find out where Gudan was and found that he had left Kalimdor.

But it's normal to think about it. The Twilight Cult does not only believe in C'Thun, but also includes N'Zoth. Even in other timelines, some Twilight Cultists also obey the orders of Deathwing.

The ancient gods are not a monolithic group. Even though they share the same suffering, they will still laugh at each other.

Now that the Twilight's Hammer has evacuated the Silithus Desert and there are no other factors affecting the rear, it is time to launch a general offensive.

At this time, outside the Beetle Wall, the 450,000-strong coalition army was ready for battle.

This is a multi-racial coalition force including humans, night elves, tauren, quilboars, kobolds, and gnolls.

They stood in the yellow sand fully armed, their weapons flashing cold light, and the battle flags of each square fluttering, looking particularly solemn.

The artillery position has also been set up. It used to be an outpost of the Twilight Sect, but now it is deserted, making it a perfect place for the artillery to move in.

The former night elf town of Southwind Village has been recovered and has now been built into an air base by the Crusaders and the night elves.

After the war begins, four large airships, aircraft, the Crusaders' Griffin Knights and the Hippogryph Knights of Eldre'Thalas will take off here. Their tasks include clearing the airspace and carpet bombing the ground insect sea.

In addition, there are reinforcements from the dragon clan, who promise to provide support at critical moments.

This should be the largest war on Azeroth since the Battle of Mount Hyjal. As for the Old Gods, Garen raised them to the same level as the Burning Legion.

As the initiator and commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Garin stood on the high platform of the Beetle Wall, which is the hub of the seal of the Beetle Wall.

This is a gong. You only need to use the Quicksand Scepter to strike the gong, and the high sealing wall containing the power of the moon goddess Elune will collapse.

At that time, the Angela Zerg Kingdom, which has been sealed for a thousand years, will appear again!

"People of the night elves, warriors of the crusaders, warriors of Azeroth!"

Garin's voice was sonorous and powerful, and full of energy. Even though the wind was howling in the desert, it could not stop his voice from reaching the ears of 450,000 people.

"I am Galin'lema, the High Lord of Eldre'Thalas. Perhaps you know my other identities, but it's not important!"

The word "other identities" emphasized the tone, and Tua, Screech, Flinttag and Hogg trembled with excitement.

"You only need to know that I am now the supreme commander of the coalition. Not long ago, the Burning Legion invaded our homeland and massacred our families. We risked our lives to defeat them!"

The native night elf soldiers who had experienced the Battle of Mount Hyjal were somewhat excited, and their fighting will had been aroused.

Garin continued: "And the same goes for these bugs hiding underground! They hide underground and wait for the right moment to destroy our lives, killing everyone who stands in their way. They do this for their god!"

The Minotaur warriors' chests heaved violently, and white mist kept spewing out of their thick nostrils!

"What about us? We will defend, we will stand up and resist, we will stand united as one, we will destroy our enemies, and their gods will fall in our hands!"

Garin's voice became louder and louder, and the warriors had already clenched their weapons, as if they couldn't wait to rush into the ruins of Angela!

"Today we may die on the battlefield, but everyone will die in battle. We die to protect our children, the elderly, and our loved ones. None of you will refuse such a death, such glory!"

"For Kalimdor!"

"For Azeroth!"

Hundreds of thousands of Allied soldiers issued a deafening shout!

It seems that Garin's speech was surprisingly effective.

For a man who could only say "It's a nice day today," "Kill them," or "That enemy is worth fighting," Garin rarely gave impassioned speeches.

Now he was standing on this high platform, looking at the huge crowd of soldiers. He felt a rare surge of ambition and couldn't help but utter these familiar lines in his mind.

Garin held up the recast Quicksand Scepter high up!

"For Azeroth!"

He swung the scepter like a hammer, hitting the center of the yellow gong hard!

"Boom!"

Along with the collision of the Quicksand Scepter and the Beetle Gong, a crisp knocking sound was heard!

Subsequently, cracks began to appear on the black city wall that had stood for a thousand years, and the first thing to collapse was its main gate!

Then the city wall connected to the city gate collapsed one by one like dominoes!

Khadgar watched intently as the Scarab Wall collapsed, splashing yellow sand all over the sky.

He knew the battle had begun.

"The First Crusaders, the Second Crusaders, the Third Crusaders, the First and Second Wild Boarmen, listen up, advance with shields in hand, and prepare for the impact!"

Fandral also had a stern look in his eyes. This time he wanted to avenge the humiliation that happened a thousand years ago!

If his tutor had not arrived in time that time, he would have almost escaped in disgrace!

"Moon Goddess Scythe Corps, Wolf Warriors! Forward!"

The two commanders chose to use elite troops to withstand the first wave of attacks!

Soon, the yellow sand dissipated, the dust settled, and the Angela Empire sealed in the beetle wall once again revealed its full appearance to the world.

Bugs, bugs everywhere, bugs everywhere as far as the eye can see.

Standing on the high platform, Garin could only use these simple words to describe everything he saw.

These bugs have red and black shells and huge claws. Their numbers are spread all over the area. There are also flying bugs like wasps in the air all over the sky of Angela ruins.

Behind these insects, there are even taller giant beetles and obsidian destroyers that are ten meters tall!

The insects roared and launched an attack, rushing towards the coalition forces of Kalimdor in a black mass!

The distance between the two armies was less than a kilometer, and with the speed of insects, they would soon come into contact.

However, in front of the well-prepared coalition forces, the Qiraji insects still need to taste an appetizer!

"fire!"

"Blow it up!"

The temporary commander of the artillery position was the goblin chief, Blacksoe. Under his command, which was full of the flavor of Yunlongsky, the artillerymen who had been prepared long ago fired their artillery!

Then, continuous flames appeared across the entire artillery position.

Caliber is justice, range is truth.

This sentence was vividly demonstrated by the brilliance of artillery at this moment!

The distance of just one kilometer, which originally took the Qira insects only a few seconds to fly, seemed to have become an insurmountable chasm at this moment!

Under the coverage of artillery fire, the Qiraji insect men in the front row were blown into the sky by artillery shells, and their originally solid shells turned into raindrops falling to the ground!

Not only the front row, there are also large artillery with longer range in the artillery positions. They bombard the interior of the beetle wall, where the insects are more densely populated. With every shot, a large number of insects fly into the sky!

Just the first appetizer was enough to suppress the charge of the insect people!
