Chapter 523: Protracted War

Vanessa and the generals were busy for three days, unlike the Lich King's method of boxing A, the coalition army needs to do a lot of work, even if it unifies the thoughts within the coalition army, many times it takes time to truthfully convey the meaning of the upper echelons to the soldiers below, and there are too many things to worry about in this process.

The west side of the Gate of Light is equipped with heavy infantry and cavalry, and a total of 120 steam tanks are placed in the Guannei with Lordaeron and the Dwarven Kingdom, and they will be the main force in the next attack.

The eastern side is mostly filled with wounded soldiers and recruits, the Gate of Light has been taken, and the undead legions have been blocked at Icecrown.

At this time, the entire keel wilderness, including the borean tundra to the west, Grizzly Hills and Howling Fjords to the east, is considered safe. From the Gate of Light to Camp Vodahir, and then all the way south to the New Hearth Valley by the sea, this supply line allows a steady stream of supplies to enter the Gate of Light, and the transportation pressure is not too great.

Vanessa secretly asked Miss Lula to purify the entire military fortress, and the paladins who didn't know the truth woke up and found, huh? How could such a strong light suddenly emerge from here? The Light has appeared! Praise the Light!

Not to mention the paladins of Lordaeron, even the paladins of Quel'Salas, Kazmodan, and the kingdom of Stormwind were all excited.

"Your Highness, on the east side of the Gate of Light, we have annihilated more than 50,000 undead soldiers, including the elite death knights led by Farion, and the part of the undead soldiers who fought later, but the vampires of Sarein killed very few, and Lannathel fled as soon as the battle began."

Old Fording is now positioned as an adjutant, and it is his main job to summarize and report all the intelligence to Vanessa.

Vanessa nodded imperceptibly, and the thieves reported to her that Lannathor had spoken a few words to Kael'thas on the battlefield, after which the blood-elf-turned-blood-sucking queen fled the battlefield.

She is noncommittal about this, Lannathor was also a hero, she followed Kael'thas and Illidan on an expedition to Northrend, and was resurrected by the Lich King after being killed in battle, which is full of confused accounts, it can only be said that Illidan and Kael'thas couldn't see the situation clearly, forcibly sent it, ran back after the defeat, and killed all his subordinates, and it was the leader who was incompetent, not a soldier who carried out the order and fought to the death.

Now seeing the old subordinates, Kael'thas and Lannathel say a few words, and it's not a big deal.

Vanessa doesn't think Kael'thas will go to the Lich King, the odds are infinitely close to zero.

"I see, please continue."

Old Ferdin's tone was then excited: "The number of kills we have at the West Gate cannot be counted for the time being, but I think the number of kills should be far more than that at the East Gate, and it should be between 100,000 and 150,000 according to conservative estimates." ”

One east and one west, adding up to more than 200,000 undead soldiers killed, this is an indisputable victory.

This also includes a large number of Death Knights and Salene Vampires, and the results of the coalition's battle at the Gates of Light can be described as glorious.

The total number of 600,000 undead is 200,000 less at once, which is definitely good news for the coalition forces.

Before, one soldier was needed to deal with three undead, but now it only needs to deal with two.

"What about the coalition damage?"

At the mention of this, Old Ferding sighed: "More than 8,000 soldiers were killed in the battle, and more than 5,000 were wounded, and these people's injuries were relatively serious, and it was difficult for them to return to the battlefield. ”

Azeroth's injuries are generally serious injuries that cannot be completely healed even with the use of light and the power of nature.

Some of them are mentally traumatized, and they can't accept it mentally when they see their comrades being killed, not to mention the Holy Light and the power of nature, even if the Titans come over, it is difficult to heal.

Some are infected with the power of the undead, or have been bitten by a Salein vampire, in which case the limb must be amputated. The root of the treatment is actually to speed up the self-healing speed of the cells, if the recipient himself has already been injured, at this time can not be treated casually with spells, could have lived for ten years, but after a treatment, immediately enter the state of returning to the light, which is better than no treatment.

For the coalition forces, the wounded soldiers can be regarded as withdrawing from the battle.

Vanessa repeated the numbers: "Thirteen thousand...... Lordaeron was responsible for the aftermath of the sacrificed and wounded soldiers, and informed the country so that they could prioritize the matter, and arrangements were made for bereavement and follow-up treatment. ”

The funeral and follow-up arrangements for the wounded all need money, 13,000 casualties, of which Lordaeron's casualties account for more than 8,000, a full army is gone, and the rest is the loss of dwarves and Gilneis, there are only a few werewolves in the Gilneth people, and the overall combat effectiveness is still a little worse, Vanessa waved her hand, these pensions are paid by Lordaeron.

The casualties of the first two pursuits accounted for 3,000, and the last three days of holding on to it cost about 10,000 casualties.

The casualties were great, but it was all worth it, even if people who didn't understand military affairs saw the geographical location of the Gate of Light, they knew that the situation of the coalition was very good.

In the absence of Lordaeron and Vanessa, the Alliance and the Horde also attacked the Gate of Damnation, but the Lich King's strong attack and the betrayal of the Forsaken wiped out the Advance Army.

forced Old Ferding to take people away from the Crystal Song Forest, cleared the three death gates of Modresa, Ordusa and Corresa in succession, and finally used the black technology of the flying battleship to lead the team to parachute into the Icecrown Fortress and fight a beautiful decapitation operation.

Embodied in the game is a high mountain behind the Gate of Damnation, and on the top of the mountain is the Icecrown Fortress, which is actually impossible, and the Lich King is full of food and support, and builds a huge military fortress at the foot of the mountain? What is he trying to do? Is there a farm stay? The Alliance and the Horde also have their brains in the water to attack such a military fortress that has no way back?

The truth is that there is a road, not to mention that the road is very flat, in the direction of the glacier, the Lich King used the power of spiders and countless undead to dig through the mountains alive, and the Gate of Light has a road ten times wider than the underground tunnel in the previous life, which can lead to the bottom of the Icecrown Fortress.

The scouts sent back a message that the passage opened by the spider demon was so strong that it could be used not only by large armies, but also by steam tanks that could rampage through the tunnels.

Vanessa did not attack rashly, she asked the coalition forces to build a defensive line every five hundred meters of advance, and she had to rely on her strong defense to wipe out the numerical advantage of the undead legion, and by the way, she trained her troops to strengthen the internal cohesion of this newborn Lordaeron.

For this reason, she bought a large amount of grain from the goblins, and it would be no problem to fight for another half a year!
