Chapter 491: Drill
Stormwind Kingdom, east of the Elwyn Forest, north of the Eastern Ancient Lumberyards. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The Mage Tower, like a long spike towering over the wasteland, with a gray appearance reminiscent of the mysterious and ornate magic, is a military facility used to monitor the pass between Red Ridge Mountain and the Elwyn Forest, from where the Gnolls entered the Elwin Forest, which is also a breeding ground for bandits, and a copper mine important to Stormwind is located on the northeast side of the Mage Tower, where a certain number of mages and armies are maintained all year round.
"You went to the Cathedral of Light yesterday?" Varian and Benny stood on the top platform of the Mage Tower, watching as the army below set up makeshift camps.
"If you believe me, don't bother me with Benedictas, our dispute is nothing more than a disagreement over the path of Light. Benny is well aware that Varian's biggest flaw is that he is easily emotional, and Benedictas's status in his mind is self-evident, and it is not too much to say that he is both a master and a father, and he does not want to make trouble before things are clear.
The battle of the road is a good excuse, this kind of dispute often does not carry personal feelings, it is purely a dispute of self-consciousness, in the heart of a warrior who only believes in the weapon in his hand, the battle of the road is just a battle of words between two people, after all, everyone has a different understanding of their beliefs in their hearts, just like some warriors like to use a hammer, and some warriors like to use an axe.
Varian nodded, and sure enough, he didn't talk about it anymore, he was more interested in the army that Benny had brought with him.
Anduin opened his mouth behind Varian, but he still didn't say anything, he always felt that things were not so simple.
"Is there anything special about the kind of ships you brought-----I mean 'aircraft carriers'?" Benny's troops had disappeared into their tents, apparently making final preparations before the exercise, and their own troops were already arrayed in the clearing.
"Just like it literally, 'aircraft carrier', a kind of aircraft take-off and landing platform instead of land airports, it can extend the combat distance of the aircraft indefinitely, even if it is sent to Northrend, there is no need to worry about supply problems, four supply ships are enough to supply three aircraft carriers for a year. Benny smiled. "But I'm not satisfied, the research department is recently working on a space carrier, like a goblin airship, but larger, allowing more than a hundred of the latest aircraft to take off and land on it at the same time. ”
"Floating Fortress?" Varian took a breath, isn't that what the Scourge Legion's Floating Fortress is all about? Countless gargoyles poured out of it, and the behemoth known as the Frost Dragon was making the Alliance suffer a lot.
"No, it's the Sky Fortress. "If the research department turns the Helicarrier into a floating fortress, Benny might as well smash it and sell it for scrap metal, what use does the non-mobile aircraft carrier want?
"Father, the army of the mentor is ready. Anduin handed over the telescope in his hand. "Their weapons are strange and unprecedented. ”
"It's the army of the 'Dawn Light'. Benny corrected. "Don't worry, my pastor will make sure no one is hurt. ”
"You always have a lot of ideas that people don't think well. "Or rather, weird ideas, exercises? Varian didn't understand the point of it, there was no shortage of real guns in this world, and they didn't need to rely on a child's play of wooden knives and guns to gain experience.
Varian brought 3,000 men from the First Legion of Stormwind, they almost filled the entire clearing, the simple fortifications made Benny shake his head, the army of 'Dawn Light' was less than a third of the First Legion from the military formation, but they were silent, and their faces shrouded in a green hood made people look worried.
Benny looked at Varian, if it weren't for his scruples, Benny didn't even want to send so many people, three hundred, plus a flying squadron would be enough.
The army of Stormwind has put up a small pennant of will, which means that they are ready, the improvised fortifications have been erected, and a small flag has been erected in the army of Dawn Light.
"I'm not late. A burst of blue light flashed, and Gianna stepped out of the light, smiling and nodding. "Long time no see, Grand Lord Smith. "Only Gianna can teleport directly to the king.
"It came at the right time. Varian gestured to the seat next to her, which had been reserved for her. "How's Thrall?"
"There were some minor injuries. Gianna frowned. "This assassination is weird. ”
"Let's not talk about that. Varian looked at Benny.
Benny nodded, and the paladin guard beside him took out a small green flag and waved it.
The Dawn Light army vanished into the woods, and the Commander of the First Legion swore he didn't see how they had vanished.
"It's not magic. Gianna shook her head at the bewildered Varian.
"Tactically stealthy, like a ranger. Benny explained. "The offensive is about to begin. ”
Varian held up his binoculars, and there was silence in the forest, save for the rustling of the breezy treetops.
The First Legion was ready for defense, the musketeers were hiding behind the barrels and sandbags of fortifications, the sword and shield sergeants were gathered behind them, two groups of cavalry protected the two wings of the position, and some of the mages stood on makeshift towers, which was a very common defensive tactic, and the cavalry on both sides could not only protect the wings, but also serve as a counter-attack, and the mages on the watchtowers could hit the enemy's sharpness with a wide range of devastating magic when they first attacked.
"Is there a time limit for attacking?" asked Varian as he lowered his binoculars and rushed to Benny.
"Of course, an hour, an hour later, the attacker loses. ”
"Even I can't use magic to break through that fortress in a short period of time. "Magic is not omnipotent, large-scale spells often require a long time to prepare, even demigods, will be overwhelmed by a sea of armies, and only Akmund, Kil'Gardan, a powerful existence beyond imagination, can destroy an army in the blink of an eye, Gianna does not know where his confidence comes from.
Benny pointed to the top of his head, smiling mysteriously.
An eerie buzzing sound came from a distance, like swarms of bees flying, and Varian froze before turning around and raising his binoculars.
"No wonder you only brought three hundred. ”
"That's right, the remaining two hundred are at sea, and now they are in the sky. ”
Five hundred against three thousand, this was set before the exercise, but on the surface, the army of Dawn Light was only three hundred, and Varian had always thought that Benny had hidden them in the woods.
"The show begins. ”
