Time flies like a white horse, and half a year is fleeting.

After half a year of training, the coalition forces have been built into a monolith, they are powerful warriors in their own right, all they need is familiarization and cooperation with the new army, so half a year is enough, and now half a year has arrived, and after a grand military parade, the coalition finally has all the preparations to march on Mordor.

The entire alliance of the three tribes has gathered a total of one million troops, including 100,000 dwarves, nearly 400,000 elves, There are 500,000 human beings, not to mention the dwarves, the elves have really shown their heritage, and the human race has developed in the past ten years under the leadership of Leluxiu, and it can also be said that the birth of the human race has created the strength of the current coalition army, after all, if there is no logistics supply of the human race, the current coalition army will not be able to unite, and the number of people who can be dispatched to fight in ancient times depends entirely on how many people can be supplied by the backward tilt of a force.

Without the economic power of Lelouch's Templars, how could the coalition army be able to supply so many supplies and resources, and if there was no food, how could it be possible to assemble a million terror army.

What is the concept of a million army? Mordor defenders outside the Black Land are the most able to experience, in the past, only they gave others a sense of oppression of a million oppressions, but now they have been given to them by others, and the Black Land also has a circle of mountains around them, but these mountains are extremely barren and full of various active volcanoes, but this is enough to shelter most of the land of the Black Land, if you want to attack the Black Land, you have to face the embarrassment of attacking the Terrans, that is, you must attack the gate of the Black Land.

A majestic castle that is not weaker than the Horn Fortress in the slightest, but different from the Horn Fortress in the Heaven-Sent Land, the gate of the Black Land Gate covers a huge area, the mountains of the Black Land are not so compact, the fortress of the Black Land Portal is built very large, a huge magnificent city wall building without any gates, and the name of this fortress is also very appropriate for his name:

"This is: Black Gate!"

The continuous coalition troops marched while looking at the same magnificent super fortress in the distance, the front was like a flat mountain wall, behind which mountain wall was a tall terrifying circular fortress, surrounded by a large number of terrifying dragons, their screams made people's eardrums slightly uncomfortable, the picture at this time was definitely an epic picture, this is a magnificent epic that has never appeared in the whole of Middle-earth, this is the first time that both sides have invested a million troops at the same time, and the battlefield is also under the magnificent Black Land 'Black Gate' fortress.

A huge mobile platform is parked not far from the black ground in the rear of the coalition army, which is a mobile command base specially built for the headquarters of the coalition army, and the coalition forces here have enough vision to observe the entire battlefield, and at this time, standing on the top of this place and looking at the entire battlefield, the picture is particularly shocking:

On one side is the dark world, where under the dense clouds, a majestic majestic gate stands, the terrifying wyvern hovers under the dark clouds, the dark red active volcano sprays hot magma from time to time, countless small orc soldiers walk on the huge city wall, tall trolls carry heavy ammunition, orc soldiers lean on the city wall and constantly look into the distance, they look at each other, because on the opposite side of them, a huge army keeps marching in.

The clouds around the volcano could not block the bright spring light of the outside world, and the ground was also a clear stream full of water and turquoise meadows, where the vast green land was an army that was constantly advancing, countless infantry were like the ocean, huge artillery one after another, steam robots and tree men walked in the crowd, their tall bodies led people with an infinite sense of security, knights advanced in the gaps of the ranks, high riding spears pointed straight to the sky, and on the big river in front of the black land in the distance was the boundless elven golden fleet, which was almost deck to deck, and the continuous sails were like boundless giant leaves。

And in that sky, the Terran air and space fleet is scattered extremely wide, they cover almost any corner of the sky, from time to time there will be some dragon sentinels trying to get closer, but often will be directly bombarded, the air after the appearance of these terrifying monsters has completely become under the jurisdiction of the coalition, once the first to develop the air force Mordor lost all control of the sea and air under this final decisive battle.

This scene is enough to make anyone who sees it feel excited, and so is Lelouch, but to say that the most mobile is still the upper echelons of the Terrans and the upper echelons of the dwarves, the dwarves and the Terrans are the forces that face Mordor directly, and their beasts are the most severely suppressed forces by Mordor, the dwarves have become vassals, and the humans have become colonies, this humiliation is unimaginable to the outside world, and now, they have finally counterattacked under the city of Mordor and launched a final war against Mordor.

"We have been preparing for this day for 16 years, and we have exchanged 16 years for today's grand occasion!"

Libert and Harold, the two most outstanding military masters of the coalition army, stood on the high platform and did not sigh, the military appearance of the coalition army was extremely prosperous, the ground, the river, the sky, almost every place had the troops of the coalition army, they never thought that they would see such a scene in their lifetime, this kind of mood, is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

...

Night!

The coalition troops are still assembling under the city of Mordor, because there are too many people, so it will take at least three days for the entire team to reach the city of Mordor, but even so, there is still a sea of lights outside the black gate, countless coalition soldiers began to rest after eating a sumptuous dinner early, they are ready to start the final war against Mordor at this time, and it is important to rest now, but the whole army did not say anything at this time to say that anyone went to bed early, if it were not for the prohibition of communication in the middle of the night, otherwise the entire barracks might be able to hear all kinds of whispers。

And at the headquarters of the coalition forces, instead of a high platform, there was a huge tent area on the ground, and a tent belonging to the Terrans, Nelulu was discussing something with his own military officials.

"Presumably everyone has also understood it clearly during this time, Leebert, you can tell me about the characteristics of the three armies in the coalition!"

Lelouch today is specially convened this meeting on explaining the characteristics of the entire coalition army, this is a real sense of the union, but also a real opportunity to let all the three coalition tribes fully see the characteristics of their own army, if you want to say when is the best time to understand them, then it is now, not only the enemy will firmly grasp this opportunity, but also within the coalition army, today's such a meeting will definitely not only be held by the human race, the elves and dwarves must also have their own similar meetings.

Hearing Lelouch's words, Libert stood up and said to the crowd:

"Through this period of time we have basically been familiar with the characteristics of the dwarves and elves of the army, I have to say that the development of their army is very different from ours, first of all, the elves, the elves as the best force in the coalition to retain the strength, their army combat effectiveness is undoubted, but also have the most powerful naval fleet in Middle-earth, their army is completely built around the elves themselves's powerful bow and arrow skills, the vast majority of the elf army is archer troops, so the armor is generally light, the elven army adopts the bottom combat force, the individual combat power is strong, the team cooperation is also a strong strategy, almost every elf soldier is an all-rounder,The lower-level army operations rely on the rain of arrows and the strict army to cooperate in the operation,And the interruption of combat power is to rely on a large number of various crossbows to counteract,As for the high-end combat power, it is mainly concentrated on the tree people,The elves are relatively single,But this flat army structure makes them very easy to supplement and train,Although the number of elves is small,But it can avoid the problem of insufficient manpower in the short-term war。 ”

Liebert's introduction made everyone present nod, and then Liebert continued:

"But compared to the elves, we should pay more attention to the dwarves!"

Liebert's words made the others stunned, what did they mean? The elves with 400,000 people did not need to pay attention, but should pay attention to the dwarves with less than 100,000 people? Liebert also quickly began to explain:

"The reason is very simple, because as far as our deduction is concerned, if the number is equal, excluding the influence of the navy and air force, the military strategy of the dwarves is the most powerful of the three tribes, and their strength is reflected in the firearms, the proportion of firearms of the dwarves is the highest in the whole of Middle-earth, there are 50,000 musketeers in their 100,000 troops, and the remaining 50,000 occupy melee troops, logistics troops, command headquarters, cavalry, artillery units, etc., and the dwarves' emphasis on firearms has allowed them to develop extremely advanced firearms tactics. ”

Libert shook his head and continued:

"The development of the dwarven musket is a completely mechanical and physical firearm, relying on advanced mechanical equipment and powerful granular black powder to fight, which has the advantage of large production, It is powerful enough, and it is said that recently the dwarves are also considering the possibility of adding short axes to the next generation of muskets, if successful, the dwarves may directly eliminate the melee army and fully replace the musketeer troops, and then the dwarves are very likely to become the first force in Middle-earth to complete the pure firearms army, and as for the combat effectiveness of these musketeers, I believe that after the battle of the black hands, everyone has a very intuitive understanding. ”

In fact, compared to the ignorance of other Terran military ministers, Lelouch has a monstrous wave in his heart at this time, no one will understand what kind of road the dwarves are taking, but Lelouch knows very well, because Lelouch knows what this road will look like in the end, a highly developed technological society, a society with only one bomb to destroy a huge city in one fell swoop.

Lelouch has always thought that under his leadership, the Terrans will definitely occupy an absolute scientific and technological advantage for a long time, but now the dwarves have undoubtedly slapped him in the face, and even said that not only the dwarves, but also in military thought, Mordor is also ahead of the Terrans, and the degree of firearms is not high, but Mordor has mastered the coordinate axis artillery bombardment tactics and platoon gun tactics, although these military ideas Lelouch knows but has not advanced, Lelouch has always believed that whether he is the conventional combat power at the bottom or the middle and high-level combat power, he is far superior to other forces in Middle-earth in terms of science and technology and military thought, but now it seems that this idea is too taken for granted。

"We expect the dwarves to build a firearms army entirely with musketeers and artillery themes in the next five years, cold weapons to be completely eliminated from the dwarves, and it is said that the dwarves have completed the research on the steam engine and are thinking about the development of the internal combustion engine. ”

"Internal combustion engines, but they don't even have even a hundred steam engines!"

A question from a military minister was finally replied to by Lelouch, because it was designed to be a situation on the side of the civil administration:

"Yes, the dwarves have already discovered the existence of the internal combustion engine when they were studying the steam engine, and now after the research on the steam engine, the dwarves seem to have decided to directly give up the popularization and application of the steam engine, directly study the internal combustion engine, and then popularize the internal combustion engine, and they have even begun to carry out oil field exploration!"

The Terran military ministers present who heard this gasped, although they were military attachés, they were just as aware of the empire's scientific and technological research, and the Terran might be the first to understand. Technology is power, so almost every human being attaches great importance to the development of science and technology, and the internal combustion engine has always been the top secret research project of the Terrans, but now I heard that the dwarves have also begun to conduct research on the internal combustion engine, which shocked the Terran ministers who have always thought that they were ahead, not only they were shocked, but Lelouch was also shocked when he got the news, the dwarves' talent for machinery completely exceeded Lelouch's expectations, but their current performance is only the real compound of the Western world's setting of the dwarves' mechanical talents, and the dwarves are really likely to catch up according to the current trend。

Lelouch continued:

"Alright, the topic of the internal combustion engine will stop here, and everyone here will talk about their thoughts on the Dwarven Pure Firearms Force!"

Lelouch's words caused the ministers around him to look at each other, and one of the officers stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, I think we should also learn from the dwarves, greatly increase the proportion of firearms, and even directly replace the melee legions, and at the same time, we can also consider equipping the knights with powerful revolver spears to achieve full firearms. ”

The officer's proposal opened up the conversation at once, and they began to discuss the use of firearms enthusiastically, and a large number of ideas came up one after another, and some of them were very bold, although they were not necessarily right, but Lelouch was very supportive of their approach, and everything was not done in discussion? and Lelouch did not think that the military thinking of the earth was suitable for the current Middle-earth humans, maybe they were suitable for the dwarves with weak magic, but not necessarily for humans.
