Chapter 570: The Power of Technology
Because of the rush of time, I will update a draft for the time being, and it will be revised to a new chapter later, so you can read this chapter later, and I hope you will forgive me if there is any inconvenience.
……
The human forces have been fighting continuously for too long, and even the paladins with the blessing of the power of the holy light will also have a physical collapse, and the mages have already fallen into a weakened state due to the excessive consumption of mana.
Even the ogres were a little tired from the many times they had used Bloodlust.
The arrival of dwarven reinforcements was undoubtedly a relief in disguise.
"Our reinforcements are coming! Hold on, everyone! Su Chen's heart swelled with excitement, the dwarves' support was even more powerful than he expected, and even brought him a good air force.
……
"Airplane...... I'm not mistaken......" Su Chen, who was riding on the back of the Tyrannosaurus King, rubbed his eyes again, and finally made sure that he was not mistaken—it was indeed a group of planes that appeared in the sky.
However, these planes look relatively rudimentary, the speed of flight is not very fast, and the size of the plane is relatively small, and the average person cannot ride it at all.
"It's the dwarves, these guys are finally here." Bridget Abidis looked at the planes in the sky, but she looked excited.
"A dwarven plane?" Su Chen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, but he couldn't help but think of the most vulnerable but powerful air force in the game, the dwarf helicopter.
In the game of Warcraft, these rudimentary dwarven helicopters are almost invincible in aerial combat!
"Did these dwarves really build planes?" Su Chen was still a little unbelievable about this, he knew how difficult it was to fly without using magic, so he never thought that there would be steam tanks and planes like the ones in the game in this real world of Azeroth, and in his opinion, it was a very good technological achievement for the dwarves to be able to make muskets and cannons in this world full of magic.
"Well, Your Highness should know that the gnomes have built similar planes many years ago, and have also used the planes to help us fight against the orcs, but when Your Highness went to Stormwind City to support, we also unexpectedly learned that the gnomes were in some trouble, the city they built underground was attacked by monsters, and those surviving gnomes had to flee to the dwarves' Ironforge Fort to live temporarily, and the planes piloted by these dwarves now should be transformed from the dwarves' planes." Bridget Abydis seems to have some knowledge of these matters.
"The gnomes have fled to Ironforge?" Su Chen was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that without his knowledge, Nomorigen had already fallen.
"Well, I don't know the exact situation, the specific time should be when we are in the big war between Lordaeron and the Scourge of the Dead, those gnomes didn't tell the other allies, they didn't ask for any support, and even the dwarves didn't know what happened to those gnome cities." Bridget Abydis said he doesn't seem to be taking it very seriously.
Su Chen couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, perhaps because the dwarfs were too weak in size, it was easy to attract the contempt or even ignorance of others, and the dwarfs had always had very little contact with the human kingdom.
Even a paladin with high morals like Bridget Abidis didn't care much about the matter of the dwarf, and even thought it was just a trivial matter, and didn't send someone to inform Su Chen.
After all, there are hundreds of cities lost when humans are fighting the undead scourge, and the loss of a city by gnomes can only be regarded as a relatively ordinary event in the eyes of ordinary people.
The dwarven helicopter in the sky has begun a fierce battle with the gargoyles flying in front.
The speed of those dwarven helicopters is not fast, but the firepower of the configuration is quite strong, those small artillery guns can shoot continuously, and a large number of gargoyles are directly blown apart in the air, and all kinds of wreckage rain down one after another.
Su Chen had seen the gunpowder weapons of the Thunderspear Guards before, and the muskets and artillery of those dwarves were still very backward, especially the artillery could only be checked in using Kodo Beasts, and now these new burst guns equipped on the plane were also estimated to come from the technology of the dwarves.
"It's hard to imagine how far those gnomes have reached...... It seems that we must try to entrap those gnomes in Lordaeron......" Su Chen secretly thought in his heart, in the history of Warcraft, these gnomes have already studied the technology related to nuclear radiation, if they can get the technology that these gnomes have, he will not need to go to great lengths to form a messy air force at all.
However, although the combat effectiveness of those dwarven helicopters was good, the number was not large, and when the overwhelming gargoyles behind them flew over, they immediately completely suppressed those helicopters.
Especially when the huge bone dragons also chased after them, and soon the dwarven helicopter was shot down.
"Immediately stop the retreat, everyone is on the spot to defend and counterattack, let those helicopters lower their flight altitude, and the mages will attack those gargoyles and bone dragons with all their might, covering those helicopters for battle." Su Chen immediately gave a new order.
A few days ago, he had received the news that the dwarven reinforcements would arrive in Northrend, and now that the dwarven helicopters had arrived, the dwarven ground forces should also be on their way, and the nearly 10,000 troops remaining in the southern harbor would probably also go north to support, in this case, if they continued to retreat south, it was likely to affect the troops rushing to support from the south, leading to a real rout.
Since a detailed retreat plan had been drawn up and a counterattack had already been contemplated, the troops quickly began to defend themselves against the surrounding trees and mountains as soon as they received the order.
Su Chen even personally led those Xivarra Demon Priests to fight at the front, intercepting a large number of undead ground troops who were chasing and killing.
The fiercest battles are still in the air, even with the support of the mages on the ground, those dwarf helicopters are still at a disadvantage, but the dwarves have always been extremely famous, no worse than those orcs, even if they are at a disadvantage, they still do not hesitate to fight in the air.
As the dwarven helicopters in the sky continued to crash, the attacks of those gargoyles finally weakened a lot...... After many days of fighting for the fortress, the gargoyles that had been covering the sky had become sparse unconsciously, and it was estimated that at least two-thirds of them had been lost.
