Chapter 1284: Reinforcements from All Walks of Life (Part II)
Wood elves and Aucklanders may be considered obligated to help. Because from a geographical point of view, even if the coalition forces really wiped out Orgrimmar completely, it was impossible for the two families to really get any direct benefits, at most they would get a little gold and silver money and other loot.
However, in this world, is there really such a thing as bringing your own dry food to help others fight the war?
Yes, the relationship between Lu Xi and these two families is so good that it can be regarded as one, but personal friendship is personal friendship, and interests belong to interests. Sister Tido and Karin, although one is a super willful belly black radio wave system, the other is the world's first empress Her Majesty who is more willful than willful, but after all, one is the supreme leader of politics and religion who has ruled Norda for thousands of years, and the other has just led his subordinates to win the imperial civil war and is the first empress in the 300 years of the Holy Spring Royalty. How could such a person send troops abroad and go on an expedition of thousands of miles just because of Lu Xi's face?
I'm not red-haired, I have a scar on my face, I only have one hand left, and I eat face fruit or something. Lu Xi thought to himself.
The current quadripartite alliance, Norda's Wood Elf Legion has also reached 10,000 people. This includes 1,000 Black Panther Raiders, 2,000 War Dancers, and 500 Master Hunters, plus 200 Spellcasters. It may not seem like a lot of projection, but we just need to know that even the most rookie Wood Elf soldier can match the bow and arrow power of the most elite human archers. And a good wood elf warrior, even if he forgets his armor and sword, will definitely remember to bring a bow and arrow.
10,000 Norda elven warriors, from cavalry to infantry, can also be considered 10,000 of the most elite archers...... Or rather, far more terrifying than ordinary archers, because their equipment is upgraded.
"The small gift of 2,000 strokes I gave you, are you still satisfied?" So, in the Great Lakes region, when he was fighting with the elven army, Lu Xi couldn't wait to ask. You must know that the generals and political leaders of all walks of life, large and small, of the wood elves are all family elders who "watched him grow up". And we all know that if ordinary people make a little achievement outside, the first person to show off must be their hometown fathers.
"Two thousand years ago, according to your plan, we purchased a hundred strokes from the Northern Chamber of Commerce for training and testing, and the effect is indeed extraordinary." The commander of the elf side stroked Lu Xi's shoulder very intimately, and bowed his head slightly: "Sure enough, a child like you, as long as you have a platform to display your talents, the results you have achieved are enough to shock the world!" I was able to confirm this twenty years ago. β
"Yes! I really can't wait to watch the elven hunters snipe at the enemy's important targets across the kilometer. Lu Xi looked at the beautiful elf big sister who was smiling in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and smiled a little evasively: "I'm sorry...... Sister Mei Fei, the last time you left, you had something to do and didn't have time to say goodbye to you. β
"Yes! You really should apologize. However, it is even more apologetic that in more than five years and nearly six years, all the letters written add up to less than 30. Is there a quarter of what I sent you? β
This beautiful elven elder sister was dressed in emerald green elven striped armor, and wore a gold and silver robe embroidered with the Norda Holy Emblem, and carried a war knife around her waist. Behind it is a black panther as tall as an adult Siberian tiger, which is actually the giant of the Norda Nightblade Leopard, with a longbow, quiver, roulette flying blade, and a two-handed horse slasher with a blade length of more than one meter.
She is not very tall, but she is well-proportioned and fit, with very obvious curves, and has a very rare nicebody among wood elves, and her name is Merry Hill? Silver Oak is the Norda First Class War Dancer Master, the leader of the Black Panther Raiders, and the commander of the elven army this time.
Merry Hill? Silver Oak was also Sister Tido's personal attendant and best friend in her early years, and of course she had a close relationship with Lu Xi, and she was one of the "big sisters who played well".
"However, I really didn't expect that when we met again, I would actually listen to your orders. Tido said that she regretted letting you go out of Norda, but I think this is the path you were destined to take! β
ββ¦β¦ Well, the reason can't it be that when you were five years old, when you were playing wargames at your house, I killed you and lost a big loss, right? Lu Xi smiled bitterly: "That's just a game, and I made a lot of off-the-board moves." β
"It's really just a game, but it's because of these off-the-board moves that it represents something."
The elven female general immediately restrained her smile, and also stretched out her fist, knocking on the Nolda coat of arms on her chest: "The blood feud of Grand Elder Tifario must not be let go of this!" Since the wood elves have appeared outside of Noorda for the first time in five hundred years, they must be sacrificed with the blood of a race! I look forward to it, Your Excellency! β
Looking at this murderous look, who would have thought that this would be the elf's lines and painting style?
By the way, Lu Xi's "childhood" big brother, the black panther commander of Cangbi City, Carlo Fengal? Brother Hawkeye, the "Brother Ka" or "Brother Eagle" in Lu Xi's mouth, has now been promoted to one of Norda's War Dancer Martial Arts Captains. His "childhood playmates", the twins of the Grey Maple family, Missel and Hadir, have just become ordinary war dancers because they are still young (a little younger than Nicole) and have little experience. These former friends are now in the army, and it was the first time Lu Xi met them since he left Norda, which made him happy for a long time. However, perhaps it was the real-time flow, the years flew by, and after meeting again, and the two sides hugged happily again, they didn't know what to say for a while, and the scene was suddenly very embarrassing.
It's only been five or six years, and it's only a short time for the wood elves, but Lu Xi has already become a different person. No matter in terms of strength, pattern, realm, status, or power, he has distanced himself from these ordinary wood elves, and if he wants to play together happily as before, it may no longer be possible.
That's probably the price of growth, right?
Like the Hearthcastle dwarves, Norda sent 10,000 troops, but it could be regarded as an elite army, and a human army that was more than ten times more idle would never be their opponent.
But what about the unequal human army?
In fact, as the least part of the Quadripartite Alliance, Auckland sent only half the army of the Dwarves and Elves, but it was regarded by others as the most powerful one.
It was a pure cavalry unit of 4,000 light cavalry and 1,000 heavy cavalry. It is said that it is light cavalry, but the equipment they carry is actually not light, at least more than a fifth of them have plate chain mail, heraldic shields, swords, war hammers and cavalry spears, plus the status of nobles. These people come from all over the Auckland princes, and they are considered to be the objects of success in the Tun (Meow) Sect by Karin's Push Order, ah no, Her Majesty the First Empress of the World. These traditional feudal knights born in the aristocratic martial arts are indeed facing the embarrassing situation that the family business they will inherit in the future will only become less and less, and those who are more active can certainly imagine that if they really want to maintain the honor and prestige of the family, they must follow the steps of Her Majesty the Empress.
This expedition to Orgrimmar to declare the existence of the Empire was a very important opportunity.
That's right, that's what the Empire officially announced to the public in Auckland. At present, the nations of the world are preparing to encircle and suppress the Orcs of Orgrimmar and wipe out the "evil barbarians" in the northern frontier of this continent in one fell swoop. As the hegemon of the world and the leader of human civilization, how can he sit idly by?
Although the Empire has not yet fully recovered from the trauma of the Civil War, the crusade of the Stormy Cape nations has only just begun, and the counterinsurgency campaign at Dragonhold is at a stalemate, such a world event must not be absent.
So, in addition to these 4,000 "light cavalry" troops, which were actually composed of various princes and knights plus their retainers, there were also 1,000 heavy knights. They belong to the Seventh Legion, which is stationed in the northern frontier of the Empire, and the Imperial Forest Forbidden Army, which was once awarded the title of "Blue Sacred Flame" by the Sun King. The most famous deterrent force of this mighty army was a force of 15,000 heavily mounted cavalry, known as the cyan lancers.
These 1,000 heavy cavalry came from this prestigious group.
Lu Xi has always wanted to see if this so-called cyan lancer is really a green armor, green helmet, green robe and green horse or something, but when he really met a real person, he was somewhat disappointed. The most famous knight unit of the Auckland Empire is naturally dressed very neatly, all of them are knight plate armor, but it is not so much blue armor as white armor, but the color of the uniform is close to dark blue. Of course, the horses under the crotch can't all be blue or white. As the most powerful heavy cavalry unit in Auckland, of course, it is riding the Auckland Xilin war horse, which is known as the king of war horses, however, if you want to extract tens of thousands of cyan horses from this excellent horse, even with the national strength of the empire, you can't do it, right?
"And it doesn't make any sense to do that! The cyan lancers refer to their uniform uniforms! What's the point of changing to a war horse of the same color? Will the combat effectiveness be doubled as a result? Did the enemy see the wind and flee? The armor is painted cyan, and the cost will be twice as expensive, if you really dare to waste it like this, the cyan lancers have already been laid off by His Majesty Gayus? "One of the commanders of this Auckland reinforcement is also Rickard, an acquaintance of Lu Xi? Sanskrit? Count Stoica said that Lu Xi's disappointment was simply unreasonable, and it was a typical example of being fooled by rumors.
Of course, he certainly wouldn't dare say that. If you have to be more serious, even if he was born as a first-class gate valve in the empire, he now has to call Lu Xi "Your Highness" first.
This young earl is the brother of Duke Stoica, the guardian of the northern frontier of the empire and the guardian of winter. We all know that the Stoica family clearly stood on the side of Her Majesty the First Empress in the civil war, and it can be regarded as a great contribution to her. As a result, it also became one of the few imperial princes in the civil war who did not reduce the feudal feuds, but also added the feudal feudal domains. Earl Rickard himself was given the Inspector of the Forbidden Army, and he also took a place in the Privy Council in place of his brother, who was absent from the imperial capital for many years. In addition, he is twenty-four years old, and in any case he is old enough to get married, and the bride has been decided, which is the third daughter of the Prince of Wales. Eighteen years old, she was born out of wedlock, not illegitimacy, and is said to be the most beautiful of His Royal Highness Wales' many daughters, and is very favored by the prince and his wife.
In short, by all accounts, Earl Rickard is at the peak of his life's winners.
"Anyway, Count, it's great to see that you're still in good health." When they met, Lu Xi patted Count Rickard on the shoulder very affectionately and welcomed him without pretense.
Earl Rickard secretly wondered that although we had met in Cold Harbour, when did we have such a good relationship? However, under the operation of Lu Xi's various favorability and affinity aura buffs, although the earl was a little confused, he felt inexplicably flattered. I feel that even if it is for the smiling face of His Royal Highness Lu Xi, I must be doing my duty and fighting bloodily! Yes, His Royal Highness Lu Xi and His Majesty Caterina are one, and to be loyal to His Highness is to be loyal to His Majesty, and to be loyal to the Empire.
The earl quickly completed this kind of brain supplement, and he naturally often did not expect it, but Lu Xi himself thought this way at this time: I don't know why, I have been dreaming recently, I always dream that you were betrayed by your own family's vassals, your pet dog was killed, and you were also used to threaten your brother and then was shot to death by random arrows when you ran away...... Well, if I say this kind of thing, I will be regarded as a snake spirit disease by others, right?
Of course, the reason why Earl Rickard is "one of the commanders" is because there are two other people with the same status, Ralph, the son of Duke Euffric, the lord of Eagle Helm City? Sanskrit? Sir Domkord, and the current Chief of the Imperial Privy Council, the son of the Duke of Tyriaon, the Prime Minister of the Empire? Sanskrit? Sir Lancaster. We all know that the latter is actually someone's first-class attendant military attachΓ©. Since he came, of course, it meant ......
"Long time no see, brother! That, uh, it's an honor to serve under your command! It's your ...... of the new birthday Ah no, the new Prince Seredith is very healthy and cute! It can be said that it is a fusion of the advantages of both sides, and it is the most important family member of the Holy Spring Royal now! We all love him very much, so don't worry. Also, uh, also, that one, by the way, I just saw little Kalman. He is also very healthy now! This, this is just great! Thank you so much! A handsome young man who looked like he was born but was completely herbivorous, blushed, greeted Lu Xi in such a stumbling way. Although he was wearing a gorgeous and delicate gold and silver armor and carrying a sword around his waist, he was vaguely a big man, right? But it still looks like a hopeless herbivore.
ββ¦β¦ This outfit really doesn't match your style at all! The red-eyed herbivore, the little brother Tomman who is bullied every day, was taught by your cousin just now, right? Lu Xi looked helplessly at the Prince of Calgary of the Holy Spring Royal Family, who was also the eldest son of the former deposed emperor Iken, and inexplicably had a little headache.
"Also, don't call me brother!" By the way, Karin, what do you want to do with this "remnant of the former dynasty" with military power? Let me look at him?
"That, that, I'm serious! Brother! This time, I also asked Sister Karin, ah, please Your Majesty. I am an adult and should also fulfill the obligations of royalty for the Empire. Also, uh, I've heard about it, maybe, maybe, I can find clues to the murder of my parents from this orc crusade! His Royal Highness the red-eyed little Tomman seemed to have mustered up his greatest courage, held his head high in front of Lu Xi, and said seriously: "All, please treat me as an ordinary soldier under your command, no matter what kind of order, I will obey it." β
Well, this time, Lu Xi was able to see a little bit of the existence of will from the dodging eyes of this angry bag, and it was quite a growth...... However, even if this is the case, it can't change the fact that you can't even win against your five-year-old brother now, do you make it? So, is Karin sending me reinforcements, or is she going to be my babysitter?
In short, in the Great Lakes region, after rounds with reinforcements from all sides, the total number of troops under Lu Xi's command exceeded 50,000 at one time. And except for the rookies of the Federation, whose combat effectiveness is doubtful, the rest are quite capable of fighting.
However, in just three days, Lu Xi was detached from the excitement of commanding such a vast army for the first time.
Look at the current situation, an army of more than 50,000 to 60,000 men, not to mention the rations of the soldiers, is enough to give yourself nightmares every day. Not to mention the horses and pack beasts that are transported, but war horses are not just gnawing grass to maintain their strength, and the elite Xilin war horses need oats, alfalfa, and concentrate feed synthesized from broken fish bones and shell powder. Of course, the people of Auckland can still bring their own dry food, so they can ignore it for the time being. However, the four-digit large carnivores in the army were enough to give Lu Xi nightmares for days. Whether it's the Nightblade Leopard or the Dentmore Armored Bear, they can be considered high-IQ phantom beasts, and they need to provide a lot of meat.
To put it bluntly, to maintain such an army fighting for a long time in the Orgrimmar Great Wasteland, once the supply line is stretched to more than 1,000 kilometers, it must require more than ten times as many civilians and auxiliaries to barely maintain the total number of fronts.
Only by experiencing it lightly can you understand what a terrible thing it was to fight a war in such a medieval era when there were no railways and roads. I also understand what a wise choice Altoria's ghost father and father made to spend a year in the Great Lakes region.
Although it doesn't seem to have that kind of invincible momentum at all, it is really reasonable!
