Chapter Seventy-Two: New Tactics
After learning the news of the existence of the Red Dragon in the Orc Tribe, Furstad's face became solemn.
After all, the red dragon is a legendary creature, and even a juvenile dragon is not so easy to deal with.
Furstad wasn't too sure that the griffon knights of the Hammerhammer Dwarves would be able to get away with the red dragon cubs in the sky, let alone defeat the red dragons.
But Kudran on the side had an eager expression: "Red Dragon? I'd like to take them up against me and see if they can handle my Stormhammer? ”
Kudran is not ignorant of the power of the Red Dragon, he just likes to challenge stronger opponents.
The Hammer Dwarves had previously explored Seradan, north of Hinterland, and had come into contact with the Green Dragon Legion guarding there, so they still knew something about dragons and their great power.
Also as one of the five-colored dragon clans, even if the red dragon and the green dragon are slightly different, their true strength will not differ too much.
Kudran knew how powerful dragons were, but he still had plenty of faith in himself and his fellow griffon, Scarley.
Kudran was not blindly confident, and in the original timeline, he did play a huge role in the Second Orc War.
In this war, Kudran single-handedly killed a total of nine red dragons and became the famous king of the sky.
Of course, among the Hammer Dwarves, there are only a few griffon knights who are about the same strength as Kudran and a few lords such as Fustad and Yuregar, while the other griffin knights are not as powerful as Kudran and them.
Furstad frowned and said to Kudland, "It's okay for you to fight those red dragons, but do you think Merkhead will be the opponent of those red dragons?" These young lads had never faced such a formidable foe. ”
"And what are you going to do?" Kudran glared at Furstad without showing any weakness, "Do you want to shelter them under the wings of Eagle's Nest Mountain for the rest of your life?" Don't forget, eaglets can only really grow up after they have gone through the storm. ”
"No, of course I don't limit their growth." Furstad said calmly: "But any injury to these stick boys will be the loss of our Brute Hammer Clan, so we must formulate reasonable combat tactics against the Red Dragon to minimize our casualties." ”
Yuregal also spoke, "I agree with Furstad, in the past, we griffon knights dealt with enemies on the ground, but the red dragons are different, they fly in the sky just like us. Therefore, we must appropriately change our thinking and change the original tactics of ground combat into the tactics of air combat. ”
Furstad nodded and said, "That's right, we really should look into this issue." ”
So in the following time, these lords had a heated discussion about how to deal with the red dragon cub.
Since they had only come up with a preliminary tactical idea and had not yet touched on the core secrets of the Griffon's warfare, there was no need for outsiders like Varian and Winresa to avoid it.
Both Furstad and Kudran are among the best of the griffin knights, and they know a variety of different griffon knight tactics.
In such a short period of time, Kudran and the others put forward several combat ideas for the Red Dragon, which made Varian, a layman, listen to it with relish.
While they had temporarily stopped their discussion, Varian spoke, "Your Excellency, I have an immature suggestion here regarding the fight against the Red Dragon. ”
Furstad looked at it curiously, he didn't think Varian could make any clever suggestions, after all, they were experts in aerial combat.
However, Vorstad did not directly refuse Varian, after all, his identity is a prince and a diplomatic ambassador of the Lordaeron Alliance, and Furstad still has to give him face for this trivial matter.
So Furstad said, "Oh? Does His Highness Varian have any suggestions for us to discuss? ”
Varian said, "During the previous few troll hunts, Kudran and his griffon knights joined the battle, so I have some idea of the characteristics and strengths of these griffon knights. ”
He paused for a moment and continued, "Griffons are fast and agile in the sky, and Griffin Knight's Warhammer attacks can also pin down enemies. I've learned from intelligence that the red dragons are large and bulkier than griffins. Perhaps we can start with these aspects and use the griffon's mobility and speed to contain those red dragons. ”
In fact, Varian's suggestion was nothing more than a tactic later adopted by the Brutehammer Dwarves in the original timeline.
When the Orc tribe invaded the territory of the High Elves, the Hammerhammer Dwarven Griffin Knights who came to their aid encountered the Red Dragon, which was controlled by the Dragonmaw Orcs, for the first time in Quel'Thalas, and was easily defeated by the Red Dragon.
He was saddened by the heavy casualties among Kudran's men.
In order to prevent them from being crushed by the red dragon in the future, Kudran gathered the remaining griffon knights, and these people worked together to come up with such a new tactic.
Now Varian has put forward this tactic as a suggestion early, not to pretend to be X in front of the Hammer Dwarves, but to allow professionals like Vorstad to perfect and familiarize themselves with this tactic as soon as possible, so as to increase the chances of winning against the Red Dragon, and thus strengthen the strength of the alliance.
The others present at the scene began to think about the feasibility of Varian's proposal, and after a while, Yuregar was the first to speak and break the silence: "I think this proposal made by His Highness Varian is very valuable, and we can arrange tactics according to his ideas." ”
Fustad stroked his shaggy beard and nodded, agreeing with Yuregal's words.
Kudran, who was next to Varian, slapped his thigh and said to him, "It seems that Varian, you are quite talented in aerial combat, but unfortunately you are too big for such a big griffin to hump you up, hahaha." ”
Later, Kudran couldn't help but laugh as he imagined a griffin carrying a tall Varian staggering and unable to fly.
