In the battle of the gods, and in the early days of the world after the second creation, the Gelsa people, who have been acting as the villains of the main plane and are called the "ghost race", in their heyday, can be described as the East Ping Tyrant Nuo (Nord), the South Town Sa Jing (Shaman Shire and Elves), the West Ding Continent, and the North Ice Sea. It's really unbeatable and invincible. However, Lu Xi felt that although this group of guys who dragged the cyclops and even the Behemoth as pets as pets, they were actually a group of hopeless teases in essence. Thinking about it this way, it may not be too polite to the deceased Pope's aunt, but Lu Xi does think so - this is of course judging from the ruins of the Gelsa Empire in various parts of the Orgrimmar Great Wasteland.

Although so much time has passed, there is not a single Gerza city and fortress that was originally built on the Great Wilderness of Orgrimmar. Rather, even if only the ruins remain, it is still beautiful and magnificent. From this point of view, the Gelza people are really a rather extravagant people.

In addition, large sacrificial altars and mass graves can be found in almost all of the ruins of the city, as well as mountains of skeletal remains, indicating that this race was indeed very fond of human sacrifice - sacrifices from enemies, prisoners of war, slaves, and their own people.

In ancient communities, manpower was actually a very valuable resource. But this race is so wasteful, and there is no way to hide it when it comes to playing state terrorism, and it is no wonder that it will be bulldozed by the unity of all ethnic groups in the end. Even their "loyal" servants, orcs, centaurs, and trolls stood on their side, pushing hard in this catastrophe of extermination.

Moreover, its comics, stupidity, and extravagance are not only manifested in the penchant for large amounts of human sacrifice, but also in the extravagant urban architecture. The huge Thunder Cliff Fortress in front of him alone is already ironclad evidence.

"If I'm not mistaken, at that time, all of Orgrimmar, the Triumph Fields, and the Niru Steppe, and even part of the eastern part of the Ariel Plateau, were all part of the Gersala Empire? Well, this should actually be considered the hinterland of the empire. Is that so? Lu Xi asked.

"Of course. In fact, the first capital of the Gelsars, at that time Nelvi City, which we called the Lion's Cave or even the Devil's Lair, was near the current Orc Golden Horde. Well, little master, the large bronze statue you saw with only half of it left is actually the ruins of the city. Look, isn't it just a few days away from here? "Fat Snow Leopard Road.

The implication is that a place that is only three or five days away from the capital cannot be hinterland, so where can it be counted?

"It's hard to say, in our hometown, there is a very cute dynasty, and the capital is actually a few days away from the border stopper. It is claimed that the Son of Heaven guards the country. As a result, in less than three hundred years, there have really been several times when people have been under the city......" Lu Xi shook his hand, and before Panarsis could react, he said, "Of course, this is not the point. So, what kind of class is it to build such a super-large military fortress in your own hinterland? ”

"That, uh, this...... According to the rumors I have heard here, the Gelza people are actually a very nostalgic people. In the ancient times, well, it was still the age of mythology, when they were just an ordinary nomadic people living in the Orgrimmar steppes, attacked by foreign enemies, and almost wiped out. So the whole clan, old and young, women and children fled to the mountains of Thunder Cliff, and with the help of simple fortifications, they survived. The small fortification of Thunder Cliff is equivalent to their guardian. For the Gelsa people, the continuous expansion of the Thunder Cliff Fortress is not so much a military act as a special sacrificial act. ”

"In other words, this exaggerated fortress in front of us has witnessed the beginning, prosperity and extinction of a fighting race that once dominated the continent? Well, it's really full of vicissitudes of history! Although this still can't change the fact that they are comic for the whole people. ”

"Well, I don't think I'll be as unscrupulous as my little master in my life. Isn't it a bit too ...... to say irresponsible remarks about the civilization, history, and cultural customs of an extinct race Uh, that's frivolous. ”

"It is precisely because of extinction that we have to talk about it. Otherwise, they will really disappear into the long river of history. That's what I need to do to maintain a minimum of respect for civilization. ”

Well, it's naturally not surprising to know that Lu Xi is this person, but there are still many people here who are not so familiar. As a result, His Majesty our ghost father, the Emperor, coughed unnaturally, feeling that this kid's shamelessness was the same as that of his own back then, and he was born to be my son-in-law...... Oh no, this kind of scheming guy who doesn't have any discipline, how can my simple, kind and lovely Artoria be his opponent, no, no, we must take a good look at it again.

His Majesty Emperor Otto probably didn't know that his daughter had been eaten and wiped clean by some scheming bad boy, otherwise he probably wouldn't have been able to continue to preside over the military council so calmly.

He calmed down for a moment before he said solemnly, "All in all, I've decided to name the Thunder Cliff Fortress Princess City. Of course, this was after we took out Asog and turned the Orgrimmar Clan Alliance into a historical term once and for all. How, that sounds impressive, right? ”

"Wow, what kind of courage is this? Where is it better than Fort Artoria? Also, why Princess City? Sooner or later, Artoria will become an empress. ”

"It's called Princess City, of course, in honor of Artoria, who is a princess! Because only at this time, she is my loveliest and best daughter! Shouldn't such a happy time be passed down to future generations with the name of the city as a monument? ”

“…… Well, there's this kind of operation that I didn't even think of. I have to say, in this regard, Uncle Otto, we really have to say submission! ”

"Of course, but I won't lose to anyone in my love for Artoria!"

Artoria didn't know for a moment whether she should hack these two guys to death with a single sword, or find a hole in the ground to get into. As for the others who had never seen such a style of dialogue at all, they even forgot about it for a while, or they didn't know what kind of expression they should put on at this time.

"I think, Your Majesty, and Lu Xi's children, it's better for you to find a small room in private to communicate slowly in this kind of conversation. Even if it really starts, as long as you don't bother ordinary soldiers, it's not a big deal. Marshal Langheim, who still looked like an ordinary university professor, said with a smile.

Well, because there are always such common sense and deterrent characters present, and the normal topic begins.

Lu Xi felt that the ancient Gelsars were a group of comics, because it was difficult for him to imagine that in the hinterland of a country, there was any need for such a super-large military fortress, but since that thing already existed and became a roadblock in front of him, of course, he could only study it carefully.

As mentioned earlier, the Thunder Cliff Fortress was originally just a small outpost located in the Thunder Cliff, with the entire mountain range in its back. The main body of the outpost is located in the middle of a mountain cliff, with only one entrance and exit directly facing the plain outside. It is indeed a typical type of fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. After thousands of years of continuous repair and expansion by the Gelsa people, it has become the largest mountain fortress group in the world, and also has the name of "difficult to attack" - well, all fortresses in history once they claim to be "difficult to attack" are basically banners. The great Thunder Bluff Fortress is certainly no exception.

In the greatest historical event of the Revival Era, the epic war that destroyed the entire Gersala Empire, the Thunder Cliff Fortress did not stop the allied forces from attacking. The great fortress has also become the last memorial of the militant and warlike golden nation.

However, the fall of the city at that time relied on a long siege and the internal strife of the defenders in the city. The owner of the fortress can of course rightly declare that its walls have not yet been breached from the outside.

Perhaps the Gelsars used many unconventional construction methods when they first built it, and today it is the most well-preserved Ghassala ruins in the entire Orgrimmar Wilderness. Then, after a little repair and tidying, at least more than 70 percent of its original function was restored. For the orcs, as well as their enemies, this is already an impassable barrier.

The Thunder Cliff Fortress in front of him still has only one side of the exit. The back is close to the cliff, and the interior of the mountain has been hollowed out, forming a large number of labyrinth-like buildings in the mountain range, which has the flavor of a dwarf or even a giant city - it is said that the Gelsa people received help from the Titans when the fortress was first expanded.

There are a total of three gates on one side of the exit, two land gates, plus a water gate.

The so-called Water Gate was originally just a stream flowing out of the mountains of Thunder Cliff, but it was expanded into a river with a width of more than three meters by the ancient Gersa engineers with the power of occultism - they expanded the river and communicated the water elemental plane. The river, which flowed from the Water Gate, diverted under the city walls and flowed all the way to the Lesser River near the Golden Horde. The other road is gathered in the water conservancy fortifications under the city walls, forming a moat of considerable scale - well, because the water flowing under the city walls is actually non-flowing, and it can be regarded as a moat.

As for the two passable land gates, they are surrounded by a large urn city. The urn city formed a perfect arc, and it was filled with all kinds of props to defend the city, forming a complete cross-fire advantage at the gate of the city wall, and there was a feeling that one man could not open it.

It is connected by a wall that is 5 kilometers long, with an average of 15 meters and 8 meters wide – of course, this is only the outermost wall. In fact, the walls of Thunder Bluff Fortress have a total of three levels, which are divided into an outer wall, a breast wall, and an inner wall. The ancient Gersa people named it "Maria", "Rose" and "Xina...... Well, this setting is actually not, it is completely Lu Xi's brain supplement.

In all, with the exception of the outermost façade, which is 15 meters high, the average height of the breast and interior walls is 18 and 22 meters, respectively. Without the power of the occult, it would have been impossible to complete a building of this scale based on the engineering skills of these ancients.

In addition to the necessary female walls and perforations, a total of 115 watchtowers were built on top of the three-story wall. Each watchtower can accommodate more than a hundred soldiers, and various types of ballistas are placed on the platform on the top floor. In addition, there are a total of 90 turrets on the breastwork and inner walls, mounted with large stone throwers that extend their range several kilometers beyond the outer walls.

On top of the innermost inner wall, there are twelve towers built on the wall, all of which are more than 80 meters high. The tower not only serves as a lookout, but also houses stargazing, divination, and larger magic tools. This is the core defense of the entire fortress. The magic power released by the facilities on the twelve magic towers can be freely combined with hundreds of magical effects with different effects, and the energy levels are all strategic.

For example, twelve towers at the same time could put the entire fortress under the defensive effect of the Iron Curtain; For example, the power of non-stop magic bombardment is by no means under the full force of any master magician. And that's just the least creative way to play. For example, after causing heavy snow outside the city and freezing the besieging enemy army half to death, the next day it was replaced by a bright sun. After a few hits like this, even the Iron Army of a hundred battles will be tossed out of the snake spirit disease, right?

Fortunately, we all know that the more powerful the facility, the more sophisticated it is, and of course, the more prone it is to problems. Under the baptism of the vast torrent of time, there are only six magic towers that can still operate, and the magic effects that can be released are naturally much less. But even so, Lu Xi had to sincerely praise the construction level of the Gelsa people, compared to the Germans' oil paper bags are simply scum!

Orcs who lack occult background, with a little effort, can fix stupid things like walls and ballistas. But this kind of ancient magic path facility, which was far more complex than they could imagine, was naturally not something their minds could handle.

"I must also thank the ancient Gersa people, who have always treated orcs as slaves, and never thought of teaching them advanced demonic technology. So, this is probably the best news we've ever heard since the siege, right? Lu Xi, who understood the current situation, nodded: "Of course I hope this will not be the only good news." ”
