Chapter 258: The War Begins

The coalition forces were mobilizing a large group to assemble weapons, and the snake creatures were not stupid, and when they found out about the situation on the coalition side, they immediately launched an attack.

Among the three forces under Ragnaros, the fire elemental and the strange snake creatures are all life in the fire elemental realm, and they came here with Ragnaros. This is not the case with the Lava Giants and Earth Elementals, who originally lived here, but later had to submit to Ragnaros due to the fusion of the fire elemental projection with the terrain here.

As a result, the Lava Golem Lord and Earth Elemental Lord are in fact only following Ragnaros' orders, ignoring the fire elementals and snake creatures under his command. The relationship between the two sides was not good, and there was no contact, except for following Ragnaros's orders to guard the outer passages, the Lava Golem Lord and the Earth Elemental Lord never did anything else. This is also the reason why the coalition forces have rested for a long time after killing the Lava Giant Lord and the Earth Elemental Lord, and the Fire Elemental still hasn't found anything wrong.

Fire elementals and strange snake creatures are different, they often have contact with each other, and even often go to each other's territory, so when the coalition army is repairing, a basilisk comes over, sees the coalition camp from a distance, and immediately returns to report the situation. Of course, the coalition forces have long been prepared for this. It was not expected that they would be able to reorganize their troops without any interruptions, as they had done last time.

In the face of the attack launched from the opposite side, Walker shouted loudly with a calm face: "Everyone pay attention, retreat to the narrowest area behind to defend, the front one withstands the opponent's attack, and the one behind remembers to use the holy light to heal the wounds of the brother in front." If you don't have enough physical or mental strength, remember to switch places. Be sure to block the attacks of these strange snakes, and our counterattack will come soon. Remember, victory belongs to the Union. ”

"Roaring ————。" As soon as Walker's words fell, the entire unit began to act according to Walker's instructions under the command of various commanders.

After they slowly retreated to the narrowest section, they could only stand more than 600 people side by side at the front, and the entire army was divided into four echelons. If the first row is not strong enough, it will be withdrawn to the last row to rest, the second row will be on top, the third row will be treated, and the fourth row will be prepared. Constantly rotating to defend the opponent's attacks, although the opponent seems to attack fiercely, there is no way to break through the Paladin's defenses.

After Vane unleashed various environment-altering spells to make his surroundings more favorable to the coalition forces, he saw that the battle here was completely fine, and he walked towards the dwarf troops who were assembling and repairing their weapons.

"Hey, how's that. Don't these weapons look great? The master craftsman's deputy pointed to the several strange weapons that had been assembled in the distance.

"I don't know." Vane shrugged, "I can't tell what it is. ”

"Oh, okay." The dwarf clapped his hands and said, "I forgot that you don't understand engineering. ”

As he spoke, he hooked his hand at Vane and said, "Come on, let me introduce you to these weapons." ”

Vane followed the gnome to a metal rectangle with a round metal tube embedded in it. "It's called a mortar, and it's capable of firing shells, and when they hit the ground, they explode. Any enemy will be blown to pieces by its shells. We don't really like these explosives, but we still need the necessary defensive weapons, don't we? ”

"How do you launch this thing?" When Vane heard that this thing was a mortar, he asked with some curiosity.

"As long as a dwarf holds the barrel, the cannonball can be fired. As for aiming, it depends on how accurate the dwarf holding the barrel can be, and how big the angle is. The gnome explained to Vane, and then he continued, "In addition, this time I saw that those black iron dwarves actually used the power of large-caliber machine guns, and I thought about inventing a weapon with heavy armor that could move on its own and carry large-caliber artillery on it. I guess then we shouldn't have to be afraid of these Black Iron Dwarves' machine guns anymore. What do you think of my thoughts? ”

"Not bad. I think it's doable. As soon as Vane heard this, he immediately understood that the tank of Azeroth was about to be invented.

"Well, I thought so, too. It's just that I don't know what kind of mechanical legs to use to support such a huge weight. Do you have any good ideas? The gnomes had forgotten why they had come here at this point, and began to walk back and forth in place, asking Vane as he thought.

"I don't think it's as convenient as using wheels." Vane rolled his eyes when he heard this, what mechanical legs could support the weight of a tank's iron lumps. Even if it can be supported, once it is attacked, it is easy for the tank to lie on its stomach. And it's also very difficult to repair, after all, it's not easy to lift that heavy weight.

"On wheels? No, no, no. When the dwarf heard Vane's suggestion, he immediately shook his head and objected: "You must know that although the wheels can carry more weight, there is no way to climb complex terrain, so the utility of this armored cannon will be greatly reduced. ”

"I don't think so." Vane shook his head when he heard this, and retorted: "You must know that the heavy armor means that this cannon is a weapon to attack from the front, and there is no need to go to any complicated terrain to carry out surprise attacks. And with a huge weight, as long as it is not too rough and the road can easily press a straight and flat road, isn't it? ”

"You're right, but let me think about it, if I could use it for multiple purposes, I think it would be more popular." After listening to Venn's opinion, the dwarf still did not give up his idea after thinking about it for a while.

Vane didn't care about this, he just said what he knew. Anyway, in his memory, the last dwarven tank to come out was driven by wheels.

More than an hour passed before I knew it. While the two of them were discussing the invention of the tank, the gnome mages who were assembling their weapons had already assembled the various cannons with the help of the dwarves' immense strength.

That's right, it's the dwarf mage who assembles the weapon, you know, every dwarf is a lover of engineering, and all dwarfs can do engineering with both hands. Gnome mages are no exception, and although they have high spell abilities, they prefer to be called a dwarf technician rather than a gnome mage.

After receiving the reward, the master craftsman's deputy gave the order, and all the guns were pushed to the rear of the line, where aiming began and the shells were loaded.
