Chapter 398: Preparation
"Benny!"
"Done?" Benny flew over to Khadgar and retrieved his robes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Khadgar nodded, his face still a little pale.
"The circle lasts for about an hour, which should be enough. ”
"Twenty minutes is enough. Benny smiled. "What about you?" Benny pointed to his head, he knew what it was like to be mentally impaired, it was like hundreds of people beating gongs and drums in your head.
"Nothing, just a bit of a shock. Khadgar gestured to his feet, and Benny understood, taking a few steps back.
A trace of arcane power gathered from Khadgar's hand, and the mana crystals above the circle were activated, and the shimmer of light emitted by hundreds of mana crystals was connected, and the entire platform was obscured by blue light.
The light dimmed for a moment, and a blue-glowing portal flickered in the center of the circle, and the vision of Stratholme loomed in the portal.
"Your Excellency, Great Lord!" a figure stepped through the portal and bowed to Benny.
"Walter!" Benny smiled and nodded. "All ready?"
"At any time, Your Excellency!" Walter's armor is completely different from before, wing-like helmet and shoulder armor, some purple crystals are faintly revealed in the hollow place, the armor that wraps the entire body is still metal, but at a glance it looks like leather armor gives people a sense of lightness, there is a large triangular buckle plate in the middle of the belt around the waist, which is engraved with the clearly visible Naru mark, and under the half-wrapped battle skirt is a pair of metal combat boots that look quite gorgeous, the combat boots are very long, almost reaching Walter's knees. The armor was still a simple silver and gold color, but it seemed much more gorgeous than before.
"How does the new armor feel?" Benny asked.
"Perfect, Your Excellency!" said Walter's face with a hint of excitement.
"Very well, assemble the personnel, let's arrange the tactics. ”
The figures in the portal kept coming out, they were all paladins of the First Knights, after Stratholme refined the development of the paladins, the First Knights were selected, and the rest were all paladins who majored in the path of punishment.
Benny and Walter stepped off the platform and watched as the paladins walked out of the portal checking their covenants and armor.
"How's Stratholme doing?" Benny asked, looking at Walter.
This is not the first time Benny has been away from Stratholme, but before, Gavin Rad and Fordin would help him 'watch', and this time, Gavin Rad, Fordin and himself are all gone, which is a bit 'dangerous', but it is also a time to test people's hearts.
"His Majesty Kael'thas has recalled many Elven Paladins, and His Excellency the Prophet has sent some Delaney Paladins to fill their vacancies. Walter's face was a little confused. "There are a lot of rangers who have also been recalled, and it seems that His Majesty Kael'thas is also gathering troops. ”
"That's true. Benny nodded. "It's about the Outlands. ”
Walter was stunned for a moment, and nodded, the affairs of the outer lands are not a secret in the 'Dawn Light'.
"The portal to the Outlands has been completed, and Kael'thas and His Excellency the Prophet will gather an army to go there, including the 'Sons of Lothar', and we will rush there when we have completed our mission here. Benny said. "Nothing else, we can't give up the resources there. ”
"Understood. "Walter is not a pure 'barbarian', not every paladin, they all know that the weapons and armor they use, and a large part of the materials used are 'Naru Crystals' produced in the Outlands, and for this alone, the Outlands are quite important to them.
"Your Excellency!" a paladin walked briskly. "All 400 paladins of the First Knights have passed through the portal!"
Benny nodded and stepped onto the platform.
"May the Light be with us!" Benny looked around at all the paladins.
"May the Light be with us!" the paladins responded with their chests beating.
"This is Blackwing's lair, the lair of Nefarian, the Black Dragon Prince!" Benny exclaimed. "I think the purpose of coming here is clear enough to you! You are all elite warriors bathed in the holy light, and each of you is the strongest, the most agile, and the most determined-----!
"I will not encourage you, for you are always in high spirits, and I will not appease you, for there is no fear in your hearts!
"For the Light!" shouted Foding, raising his golden greatsword.
"For the Light!" the paladins shouted as they stood up.
"Now, arrange tactics!"
Several officers walked over, and Benny stood still and said directly: "There is a high probability that our target will be an Elder Red Dragon, but I am not sure of this, and we also have a high probability of facing other more dangerous situations, such as ----- more than one Red Dragon." ”
"We need to take into account all the possibilities that may not work against us. "In the words of the previous life, it is to worry about victory before defeat.
Everyone nodded, and Benny continued, "Let's talk about the red dragon first. Benny gestured to the dragonman's corpse in the distance. "He's about ten times the size of this dragon beast, he's a very old red dragon, he can easily destroy a mountain with just his physical strength!
"We've all been trained to deal with oversized enemies, and we're following the usual tactics of besieging in groups of thirty people, fighting on either side of the dragon, paying attention to four points during the battle. ”
"First, the dragon's weakness is in the abdomen, where the scales are relatively soft, and your new weapon has the ability to destroy it, but it may require all your strength. ”
"Second, the dragon's tail is a very big threat, we can completely regard it as a single individual with great combat ability, so we have to divide two combat teams to make his tail incapacitated as soon as possible, and the other teams must always pay attention, even if there is armor, the huge strength of the dragon clan is not something we can bear!"
"Thirdly, in addition to physical strength, the Red Dragon Clan has the ability to grasp the fire of life, this flame is not like ordinary flames, it can directly act on energy, even if it is holy light, if the strength is not enough, it will be melted by it, and with the power of this dragon, the defensive 'prayer' effect is very limited, don't use it physically and hit all the power into the attack. ”
"Fourth, the above is only the battle against the Red Dragon, because we are not sure if there will be other forces involved, we have to divide at least 5 reserve groups. ”
"Is it all clear?" said Benny, looking around at the group.
"Clear!"
"Good. Benny nodded. "Prepare as soon as possible and act in ten minutes. ”
"I think we have what it takes to deal with a dragon. Khadgar walked up behind Benny at some point. "Not all dragons are as powerful as guardian dragons. ”
"The army needs to be trained in real combat. Benny turned his head. "What would we do if, I mean, if we weren't in Stratholme, an adult dragon----- or even a group of dragons, attacked Stratholme?"
This world has completely inherited part of the culture of the West in the previous life, especially ------ individual heroism.
Benny does not deny that individuals with great power are the protagonists of this world, and they often play the role of saving the world, but people often only see the last moment of the hero saving the world, and do not see how many people helped him in the process, and even paid for it with their lives.
He has always believed that the strength of the individual is not really powerful, because there are countless examples in front of him.
Even the Titans were helpless in the face of the infinite forces of darkness, and they never imagined that they would be terrified if they armed even one world, even Sargeras and the Burning Legion, with their technology and knowledge.
"Are you really going to turn everyone into paladins?" Stratholme had only been rebuilding for a few years, and if he hadn't stumbled upon Gavinrad's military report, he would never have believed that in such a short period of time, the number of paladins in the 'Dawn Light' had more than doubled as before!
"Well-----" Benny muttered. "Let's talk about it, an 'HL---B' musket can make it easy for a warrior who doesn't have the Light to kill a Demon Guardian, so what if our mother had a more powerful weapon than the 'HL---B' musket-----? ”
"I understand that. Khadgar said. "But it's not just about weapons, demons aren't just as simple as they seem. ”
"Exercise their willpower so that they can be protected from demonic temptation, and the protection of the Holy Light will protect them from evil magic. Benny spread his hands. "We won't be able to do that anytime soon, but one day we will. ”
"You use engineering, enchantment, Naru crystals, and other techniques to make it easy for every ordinary person to grasp the power ------of the Light, in that case," Khadgar's face darkened. "Will anyone be willing to give their faith for the Light?" the question seems to involve another question----- Faith, the mages are generally non-faithful, and they even see faith as a transaction: I give my faith, and the goal of faith is in return with power.
"The question is very simple. Benny smiled. "The power of the Light will inspire all. ”
With the exception of a handful of paranoid people with inhuman willpower, Benny really doesn't believe that many people can resist the brainwashing of such a ----- that meets all your good expectations.
Khadgar frowned, he had seen many betrayals of the Light in the images shown by Naru.
"We'll discuss this in detail when we get back. Benny said. "Now, let's solve the problem at hand. ”
The archmage was stunned for a moment, nodded, and when discussing certain issues with Benny, he would always involuntarily go deeper----- only blaming Benny's idea for being too 'novel'. (To be continued.) )
