Chapter 57: The Air Force
In response to Aurelia's inquiry, Varian nodded and said, "At least from the information that those agents brought me, that's the analysis. I think you'd better arrange for your rangers to scout as soon as possible, as you High Elves know more about dragons than we humans. ”
"I'll arrange it when I get back later." Aurelia replied.
Hearing Varian's words, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the pressure brought to them by the legendary creature of the dragon was still very high.
The only reason Aiden did before was because the ignorant were fearless, and when he learned the true strength of the dragon, he was the most feared of them.
Lothar then spoke, "Guys, now is not the time for us to relax. Even if those red dragons were indeed young dragons as Varian said, their hand-to-hand combat ability and breath were not something that ordinary soldiers could defend against. In fact, although this war is not several times more difficult than we thought at the beginning, it is still much more difficult than before, only to deal with the orc tribe. ”
As the commander-in-chief of the Lordaeron Alliance, Lothar was keenly aware of everyone's emotional relaxation.
This is not a good thing for the upcoming war, which is why Lothar will warn him.
In fact, this problem is caused by the psychological illusions and gaps of these people in a short period of time.
Originally, the opponents of the alliance were orc tribes, and everyone had already learned about their brutality and belligerence through what happened to the kingdom of Azeroth, so everyone was fully prepared before the battle.
But just now I suddenly learned that the other party has another helper, and this helper is very powerful, and it is almost difficult to defeat, so everyone will inevitably have feelings of despair and pessimism.
Then they found out that this helper was not the powerful helper they thought they were, so they couldn't help but relax.
In fact, the real situation is that the strength of the orc tribe has indeed increased, and they will face a more difficult war than before
The kings present were not mediocre people, and they also discovered this problem after being reminded by Lothar.
Everyone quickly adjusted their mood and continued to discuss what changes needed to be made to the battle plan of the alliance army after the intervention of the Red Dragon.
Varian was the first to speak, "Whether these red dragons are young dragons or adult dragons, one thing we must fully realize is that the orc tribes will have a strong air force as a result, and our army will be attacked from the air. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement, which was indeed crucial, as all of the human members of the entire Lordaeron Alliance had little air power.
Jean thought for a moment and said, "Maybe we should increase the number of archers......"
"I'm afraid it's hard for an ordinary bow and arrow to do damage to those red dragons, even if they're just underage young dragons." Aurelia shook her head and vetoed, "And the number of arrows with magic is too rare, and it takes a specialized marksman to play their role." ”
Solas asked, "And what about the muskets made by the dwarves?" I've seen dwarves use these weapons, and they seem to be a little more powerful than bows and arrows. ”
Aurelia hadn't really seen the dwarven musket, so she could only hesitantly reply, "I don't know much about this weapon, but even the dwarven musket should be difficult to break through the dragon scales on the red dragon......"
Varian secretly added in his heart: In fact, some dragons with the strength of the five scum will still be injured by the dwarven muskets......
After studying for a long time, everyone still didn't come up with a good way to deal with the orc's air attack.
King Terenus whispered, "Looks like we need to find a new ally......"
So, what are the forces or races with powerful air combat forces that can help humanity?
Let's start with the other races of Azeroth who have an air force: the Night Elves, who have a few tribes who can control the Chimera and Horned Eagle to fight for them, but they certainly can't help the humans in Kalimdor, another continent to the west.
There are also the Panda People, who have the Cloud Soaring Dragon Knight. However, the panda people are all on the fog-shrouded continent of Pandaria, and of course it is impossible to help humans.
The trolls have Batriders, but ...... They also have hatred with humans, but not as deep as they have with elves.
Then there are the High Elves, there are Dragon Eagle Knights, but they have no intention of participating in the war between orcs and humans, and their attitude can be seen from their response to Lothar's request for help, so the High Elves can't count on it.
In the end, there was only one option left, and that was the Brute Hammer Clan, who had powerful griffon knights.
After the Battle of the Three Hammers, Grimbaatar was cursed by the sorceress Mordgood to be uninhabitable, so the Hammer Dwarves had to find another place to live.
Madolan and the Copperbeard Clan offered the Hammer Dwarves a return to Ironforge, but the haughty and stubborn Kadyros refused to accept the offer.
The Hammer Dwarves have come to Hinterland in the north.
In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of Grimbaatar in their new settlements, they chose to build a city on the surface of the mountain, which later became Eagle's Nest Mountain, instead of building the city inside the mountain as before.
The Hammer Dwarves who settled here also established friendly relations with the griffons of the mountains.
The griffin has the body of a lion, as well as the head and wings of an eagle. They are as powerful as lions and eagles and can dominate both land and sky.
With the help of these griffins, the Hammer Dwarves have assembled a formidable air force, the Gryphon Knights.
……
After some discussion, the kings of the alliance decided to find a way to get their help from the Hammer Dwarves.
"Hammer dwarves? But they're stubborn guys, and we're going to have a hard time convincing them......" Solas knows a thing or two about the Hammer tribe, and the thought of convincing these stubborn dwarves gives him a bit of a headache.
Aurelia also said, "Although griffons are powerful creatures, they are no match for the Red Dragon. ”
King Terenus said, "But with the help of the Griffin Knights, at least we can contain the red dragons in the air without being completely suppressed by them. ”
"Yes." Lothar said firmly, "So no matter what, we have to try to win the support of the Brute Hammer Clan......
