Chapter 250 Kalimdor Coalition (2 in 1 7000+)(1/2)
~《》~ Chapter 250 Kalimdo Alliance (Two in one 7000+)
"In addition to leaving behind necessary military defense territory, we Shuharu will send 20,000 Bloodhoof Guards, 45,000 troops, and 50,000 vassals, a total of 115,000 people to join the coalition! At the same time, we will support a batch of herbs, leather, food and weapons!"
Kane's blood hoof was calm and slow, but his words were loud and loud, allowing everyone to see the Tauren's firm determination in forming a coalition!
The leaders here, especially Tyrande, who represents the night elves, and Gazrovi, who represents the goblins in Ratchet City, looked at the chief of the Taurus with admiration. Other forces may not be familiar with them, but as local forces, they have a considerable understanding of the strength of the Taurus clan.
The Taurus, who is not a large population, has been sending a unit of more than 100,000 people after countless years of centaur wars. It can be said that he is already strongly supporting him! What's more, even the Taurus Warrior with only more than 60,000 people, is "the strongest on land", and the combat effectiveness is self-evident!
Kane's blood hoof sat back on his seat calmly, and Old Tang, who was standing beside him, also interrupted: "The devil's combat power should not be underestimated. When dispatching troops, I hope you can try your best to select elite troops to avoid excessive casualties!"
As soon as Lao Tang finished speaking, the Sun Chaser of Kelthas, who had been silent, said in a reserved and decisive voice:
"We blood elves have just resisted the invasion of the Scourge. It is the time to rebuild our home. In addition, we have to be on guard against the Amani trolls and cannot draw too many troops! But we have to fight against the Burning Legion. The six thousand magicians, one thousand priests, and 30,000 elite rangers will join the coalition!"
The words of the Elf Prince surprised everyone present to be happy.
There are not many troops less than 40,000 people, but both the Rangers and the Magicians have a well-known strong army in Azeroth. The blood elves far away in Quelthalas were able to rush to Kalimdo to resist the demons, which made Kalimdo's forces overjoyed. As expected, as Lao Tang expected, the elf prince's righteous attitude was put on, and everyone present had a significant improvement in his attitude towards him. Even the two hero-level masters of the Dark Spear Troll no longer looked coldly at Kelthas.
"We orcs sent 150,000 troops!"
After pondering for a while, Saar also tightened the Hammer of Destruction and announced the important news with a serious expression: "Battle Song, Thunder King, and the elites of the three clans of Blood Caves are all dispatched, and the Kukaron Guard is on standby. But we have just landed in Kalimdo, and there is a lack of resources. We need enough weapons and equipment, as well as food and grass support!"
Thrall's request for material support did not disappoint the meeting. What everyone expected was that the goblin, who had always been profit-oriented, would take the initiative to undertake this task. The city lord of Ratchet City Gazrove pushed the inappropriate gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and spoke with a unique philistine smile from the merchant:
"Ratchet City can be responsible for providing the coalition with the required supplies at a cost price, only half of the deposit is required, and the remaining payment can be gradually repaid after the war!"
It is not unexpected that the goblins still proposed money transactions at this time. Being able to provide supplies at a cost price and only need to pay half the deposit in advance is already a great news that surprised those forces who have dealt with goblins. If the goblins really support them for free, that would be a hell!
"Gazluvi, for the first time I think you, a guy who wants money, is so pleasing to you!" Old Tang looked at the Dungeon City Lord and couldn't help but joke, but the Dungeon City Lord replied to Old Tang with a somewhat funny human aristocratic ceremony. This short teasing made the solemn atmosphere in the conference room rarely ease.
"The deposit is not a problem!" Kelthas also smiled and took the initiative to agree: "Silver Moon City will bear this deposit for the orcs! At the same time, it supports some enchanted weapons and armor."
As soon as the Elf Prince finished speaking, Thrall and Hellscream remained on the faces of a brief shock. After a moment of rescuing Thrall and Hellscream were happy and sincerely thanked the Elf Prince with friendly thanks. Kelthas smiled with a reserved and elegant smile and bowed back to the greeting. The atmosphere between the two tribes was originally not a friendly atmosphere eased because of the elf Prince's kindness, which made Lao Tang feel relieved. It seemed that the problem of establishing a new tribe was not as difficult as he imagined...
At the other end of the round table, after seeing the orcs' big moves, humans were also unwilling to be outdone and responded in a tit-for-tat way. After discussing and whispering with Duke Leorick, Gianna stood up and looked around and spoke calmly:
"Theramore will also dispatch 150,000 troops! Sixty thousand elite Seventh Legion, ninety thousand Kurtiras Marines! But..." The female mage turned his tone and stared at Lao Tang with a blind eye. He fired the conditions: "We need to pass freely in the barren land and establish a transfer station and stronghold, rather than being rudely blocked in the swamp!"
The first half of the female mage's words were impeccable, but as soon as the second half was said, the leaders in the hall showed surprise. Even Duke Leorick frowned. The meeting was discussing the formation of the coalition forces, and all races temporarily put aside their prejudice and hatred to gather strength. But what does the second half of the human being mean?
Take the opportunity to threaten?
Duke Leorick smiled silently. There was no doubt that Jaina's last words were too immature and the timing of the proposal was not right. Some things could not be declared even if they wanted to do them, otherwise wouldn't they be naked-naked provocations and giving them a handle?
After all, Jaina is still young and is not the strong woman with superb political skills. She can’t play with diplomacy and politics without rich experience. Even if Jaina’s talent is good, she is still a young man in this regard, and she still has too many personal emotions in handling things.
Take her proposal as an example. If you actively participate in the coalition and establish a good relationship with all races, it is not impossible to get out of the swamp and establish a camp after the war is won. At least most races will turn a blind eye on this matter. But now it is not possible to make it blatantly at the meeting! The Burning Legion troops are at the city, and all races are trying their best to increase their chances of victory, but humans take the opportunity to compete for interests. What does other races think? Especially with the Taurus's first initiative and the blood elves generously going to the right to the future...
There is no doubt that Jaina's misunderstanding made Theramore's favor in front of many forces greatly reduce...
Old Tang was unquestionable to Jaina's "aggressive" attitude.
The future is a clever and powerful ruler of Theramore, now in Lao Tang's eyes, is just a scheming girl. If you care too much about her, it will be too expensive.
"I can pretend that I didn't hear what I said just now!" He shrugged at Duke Leorik, and Lao Tang casually exposed the embarrassment in the conference room. "During the Battle of Sea and Mountains, humans have joined the coalition, and they are our allies. They can transfer supplies through our Shuharu's strongholds and camps in the Barrens, of course the same is true for other races."
"As for the additional camp?" Old Tang paused slightly, and his tone suddenly responded in a stern and verbatim: "I don't think there is no need for this, right?"
The leaders nodded to Lao Tang with kindness, and were unwilling to continue to get entangled in this issue. The Paladin pulled the female mage who knew he had made a mistake and looked embarrassed back to his seat, and then nodded apologetically to Lao Tang.
After such a small episode, the atmosphere in the hall was a bit subtle and awkward. Fortunately, this embarrassment was quickly deliberately forgotten by everyone, and the formation of the coalition forces continued.
"We bear monsters will draw out 50,000 compatriots to join the coalition forces to fight against the demons!" A wave of unstandard common words sounded in everyone's ears. The bear monster shaman, who was not used to foreigners, stopped talking after he spoke the troops he sent.
Lao Tang was not surprised that the bear monster could draw 50,000 troops. The bear monster, which was not corroded by the blood of the demon, was most powerful enough to Kalim. It was just that he had always been invincible. Naturally, there would be no only two or three kittens of the wooden-throated bear monster who escaped by chance in his previous life.
"The Dark Spear Troll will also send 50,000 warriors to join the coalition!"
After discussing with the elderly hero-level troll, Shadow Hunter Wojin pondered for a while and also spoke out the limit of the military strength that the Dark Spear Troll could withstand.
The trolls are the largest population clan of Azeroth. This is true, but the trolls' clans are more complicated than the Taurens and Orcs, and Lao Tang cannot even list them one by one. The Dark Spear Trolls are just one of them expelled, and the total population is even smaller than that of the Taurens. This time, Wojin was able to send 50,000 people, which is probably the one that Dark Spear Trolls have completed their treasury.
The major forces participating in the alliance have shown their sincerity, and only the night elves are left without expressing their opinions. Everyone's eyes also looked at Tyrande, who frowned and thoughtful, and Galaud Shadow Song, who looked calm, waiting for the night elves to speak.
Gallard looked at Tyrande with an inquiring look. After getting the latter's approval, he stood up with a confident smile and said the power that the night elves could draw!
"The 80,000 warriors of the Sentinel unit have gathered and are on standby at all times! The high priest has sent people to awaken the Great Druid Malfurion Storm Wind, and the Van Dal* Deer Helmet Master. At that time, the 30,000 druid troops will participate in the war under the leadership of the Senario Council!"
The druid profession is no less rare than a mage. Even old natural believers like the Taurus cannot use druids into a built-in unit, but the night elves can do it! They even use druids as conventional arms to be used in war...
As soon as Garod said this, two races like orcs and humans, who don’t know much about night elves, immediately took a breath in his heart...
If orcs and humans show the momentum of crossing the river Raptor, then the night elves are the most powerful local snake in Kalimdo!
The most powerful local force in Kalimdo, with tens of thousands of years of rest and rest, and the accumulation of strength makes the night elves not inferior to any race and force in Azeroth! Tens of thousands of years of strong foundation make the strength of these moonlit dancers unfathomable, and more than the blood elves that came from the same source! Moreover, for thousands of years, ancient races like Taurus, Trolls, and Dwarves have been constantly fighting, and the war has been ignited, but the night elves have been hiding behind the scenes, and their strength has not been reduced at all...
Perhaps this is the protection given to her believers by the only true God in Azeroth?
...
The tone of forming a coalition has been set!
The 600,000 elite troops of all races of the entire coalition can still be fought against millions of demons and undead army!
In terms of high-end combat power, more than a dozen hero-level masters, plus two super masters of the demigod-level power of Cenarius and Medivh, and a Hellscream that may explode at any time and challenge beyond the level, is already the strongest combat power that Kalimdo can gather! Except for the unfathomable strength of Archmond, everyone is not sure, the other demon lord coalitions are already in the competition!
As Medivh said, the coalition forces are already the last hope of the world. If the coalition forces ultimately fail, Kalimdo will no longer gather any confrontational power, and the fall will only last in a while... And if the polluter Archmond absorbs the power of the World Tree as he wishes, then no one in Azeroth will be able to stop this demon leader, and the whole world will once again turn upside down and collapse and destruction...
"The six hundred thousand troops seem to be huge, but if they fight on their own, they are still a mess, and under the attack of the Burning Legion, they will only be defeated by them!" Looking at the serious but equally determined faces of the leaders in the hall, Old Tang suddenly broke the silence and asked a key question, attracting everyone's attention back to himself: "We need to truly unite! The coalition forces... need a supreme commander who coordinates the overall situation!"
Old Tang's words made the atmosphere in the hall that was originally relaxed and solidified again. As Lao Tang said, "Snakes cannot do without heads, and every wolf pack must have a head wolf to successfully hunt. If the coalition forces want to achieve true integration, they must have a unified command and dispatch, and orders must be followed and their advantages will be complementary. Otherwise, the so-called coalition forces are a joke, and they will undoubtedly be defeated when facing the demons...
Most of the people here are long-time generals on the battlefield, and this simple truth is not unknown. But what an honor and responsibility is the highest commander of the coalition forces. It is an elite unit of 600,000! Although the races present briefly gave up hatred and prejudice in the crisis, they were also wary of each other!
It is natural for human nature. After all, no one will feel at ease to hand over their soldiers and these 600,000 troops to the commander of others... So everyone has a tacit understanding and will not ask this question.
Then Old Tang had no choice but to take this opportunity to make things clear so as not to cause friction and crisis in the future. Since it is a problem that needs to be solved sooner or later, it would be better to take advantage of the moment to cut the mess... But the candidate for the highest commander is not so easy to determine!
Qualifications, command ability, prestige and even relationships with all parties are crucial when determining candidates!
After a long silence, the Orc God of War was the first to stand up to support Lao Tang's resolution: "Good is right. Since we have formed a coalition, we must choose a commander and general in the overall situation!" Hellscream paused at this point, as if he was thinking about the right person, and after a while he said again:
"I recommend Goode or Kane* Blood-hoof Chief!"
It’s not that Hellscream doesn’t want to win this glory, but the Orc God of War also knows that the Orcs are outsiders in Kalimdo after all. Not to mention that he or Thrall serves as the supreme commander, the human side will inevitably oppose it, and the other forces of Kalimdo may not agree.
Moreover, the Orc God of War is not the Orc God of Army. The real Orc God of War Orgrim* The Hammer of Destruction has fallen. Compared with the Destruction Hammer, he is more suitable for being an unparalleled general who kills the enemy, and he does not know that he is the supreme commander with millions of soldiers. Although Thrall showed talent not inferior to Orgrim, he was still young and lacked qualifications. Apart from the Liberation Shelter, Thrall had not experienced any truly tragic large-scale battles...
In this case, instead of giving up this honor and responsibility to others, it is better to support the Taurus allies! At least Good has good command ability, the Taurus has a higher prestige in Kalimdo and is more trusted by all parties including orcs!
"Minister and me?" Old Tang was really surprised by Hellscream's proposal. He was stunned for a moment and looked at Kane, who was also shocked, and shook his head and refused: "We are not the right candidates!"
Lao Tang is not polite, but self-aware!
The Great Chief Kane* Blood Hoof is not to mention it. He is brave and calm in combat, and his overall view is also first-class. However, his military use has always been as stable as a rock, and he has many shortcomings in response and strategy. Instead of how much he is, Lao Tang himself clearly knows that more than five years of growth is not enough to make him take on this important task!
If it is said that 30,000 to 50,000 elite troops are determined to win the battle against the enemy, Lao Tang will take the initiative and think that he is not inferior to anyone; 100,000 tigers will coordinate the three armies, Lao Tang will be reluctant to do so...
And the 600,000 coalition forces... let him go!
Old Tang dares not joke about the fate of the Azeroth world...
However, Lao Tang’s failure does not mean that Lao Tang does not have the right candidate in his heart!
After pondering for a moment, Old Tang said his ideal goal firmly: "I can't do it, but I can recommend someone - General Garod* Yingge, the coalition commander in the ancient war!"
Is there anyone more suitable than Gallard?
No!
In terms of qualifications, as the commander of the ancient war, Garod is the most vocal general here in the battle against the Burning Legion!
In terms of ability, Galod, who has a very "Han Xin ordered the troops, the more the better", has proved in the ancient war that he commanded the three armies and controlled the heroic soldiers, and his command ability was recognized by everyone. During the ancient war, even the demigods and the dragon were willing to obey their orders!
In terms of prestige, the honor and merit of commanding the army in a large-scale battle, except for the fallen Anduin Lothar and Orgrim Hammer of Destruction, there is no hero in Azeroth who can compete with this night elf general!
When it comes to relationships with various forces, in this timeline, due to Lao Tang's intervention and the wood and food supported by the Taurus, Hellscream did not lead the War Song Warriors into the Ashes Valley at all, let alone make enemies with the Night Elf, so the Night Elf and the Orcs did not conflict. As for other races, except for the rift between the Blood Elf and the Night Elf cousins and the hatred between the elves and the trolls, the various forces here did not have conflicts even if they did not have a good relationship with the Night Elf...
In any aspect, Gallard* Movie Song is the best candidate!
Old Tang's proposal made the big men look at each other. After the orcs and humans explained through Kane's Blood Hoof, they no longer hesitated after knowing the resume of the night elf general, but voted for it. The coalition commander who controlled the most powerful army of Kalimdo and held the life and death of 600,000 warriors was settled.
Galaude Yingge did not refuse but accepted the fate calmly. His confidence and calmness of not being surprised by the reputation and the commander also gave everyone a high look at the famous commander!
"Since I am allowed to serve as the commander, I hope everyone can implement orders and unite in this battle." Galaud, under the insistence of Old Tang, sat side by side in the main seat with Medivh and Senarius, spoke the first sentence of his appointment in an unquestionable tone and issued the first order: "According to calculations, the Burning Legion will land in Kalimdo within one month at the latest and march towards Mount Hygar. There is no longer much time left for us to establish a line of defense."
"According to calculations, the four areas of Felwood Forest, Ashes Valley, Azshara, and Winter Spring Valley will be the most likely rocker for the devil's attack!" Gallard spread out the topographic map of Kalimdo and spread it on the table to show it to all the big guys. At the same time, he confidently pointed four areas on the map and spoke with a serious expression.
"So before we can clarify the breakthrough area of the demon's final choice, we want to..."
———————————————————
Three weeks have passed since the alliance established a coalition. The Kalimdo coalition has been running at full speed. The key areas where demons may break through have been sent to garrison and set up posts and camps. In particular, the Holy Mountain of Haigar has become a large construction site. Craftsmen of all races are racing against time to establish the final line of defense.
At the two valley intersections leading to the Tree of World and in front of the cliffs in front of the Tree of World, three huge camps with different styles have begun to take shape!
The four Gallards of the four Gallards designated areas of the Ferwood Forest, Ashes Valley, Azshara, and Winter Spring Valley are also surrounded by coalition soldiers, and beacon towers and outposts are connected to each other. Although the power is dispersed, when the demons finally break through the path of the march, the coalition can also quickly integrate and concentrate their strength.
As a time traveler, Lao Tang is of course familiar with the development of the "Plot of the Past Life". In my memory, Ashes Valley and Ferwood Forest are the breakthrough locations for the first vanguards of the demons. But now because of Lao Tang's butterfly wings, the situation of the Battle of Mount Haigal has been tampered with by Lao Tang and is beyond recognition:
The orcs did not conflict with the night elves, and the Ashes Valley did not become a battlefield; the orcs and humans did not fight on the coastline; the taurens who preserved most of their strength helped the orcs in all aspects, rather than being rescued by orcs like in "historical" and the crisis of extermination; even the Karimdo coalition was established in advance, and there were more support from blood elves and bear monsters...
Old Tang did not dare to guarantee whether the course of the war would continue to develop like in memory, so he did not say his own "predictions" to interfere with Garod's judgment. At least it would be better to be cautious!
To be continued...
