Section 349, Expedition to the Arctic continent of Northrend
Dante's devotion to Grandet worked, and Forte was successfully reinstated. By the way, Grandet played a trick on the guys who played political battles with Fordin, and caught them by the handle. So, Ferding repaired those guys as a matter of course.
It's really breathtaking, and it's very refreshing!
Ureon was originally optimistic about Little Ferding leading his troops to the battle, but Little Ferding was killed in battle, and now he can only let Ferding go back on.
……
In the small living room on the second floor of the Demon King's Castle......
Dante sat and waited for Gade to deliver the report. The Demon King's Army has entered the final assembly stage, and it has been about a month since he went to Crassus to resurrect Little Ferdin, and everything that should be prepared has been prepared. Now, the battle for the expedition to the Arctic continent of Northrend is about to begin. Even the air was filled with a thick killing intent.
After the young Ferdin's resurrection, Dante used the power of the demon king to control him, leaving him to sleep and lie in the resurrection room.
Dante always felt that he would definitely have a big fight with Ferding in the future, and he was not afraid of Urien, he was just worried about Ferdin. Little Verding was in his own hands as a trump card, and Dante felt reassured.
"Master!" Gade pushed the door in, took a report, walked up to Dante, handed it to him, and said, "Everything is ready, just wait for your order!" ”
"Hmm......" Dante took the report and read it carefully.
The report details the current strength of the Demon King Army:
The total strength of the army is 100,000.
Among them are human soldiers (mostly surrendered Scarlet Crusader soldiers, as well as volunteers selected from among the refugees. Dante did not ask Grandet to recruit mercenaries, because there was no need) thirty thousand; There were fifty thousand werewolf soldiers; There are 20,000 little monster soldiers.
This is the composition of the entire strength of the Demon King Army.
The Demon King's Army now has weapons and equipment that can equip about 50,000 melee soldiers. Equipped with 30,000 long-range attack soldiers, the other 20,000, some of whom have been trained by Lisa to be battle mages with magical attack capabilities, and the rest are soldiers of logistics troops and heavy artillery units.
The Demon King's army has nineteen warships, the strongest of which is the Black Pearl, piloted by Captain Jack and three hundred skeleton sailors led by him. Another eighteen battleships. Through the Gear Expedition Society in Gem Harbor, Grandet has recruited enough mercenary sailors to make it.
The total naval strength of the Demon King Army is 5,700 men.
As for the Air Force, the Demon King Army has yet to find the surviving griffins. Aliuzhe led his troops to search for the palace of the griffon kingdom and several abandoned military camps that had been captured by the undead. No surviving captive griffons were found, and all of them were killed in the battle with the undead army.
If you want to look for griffins, you probably have to look for the wild. It will take time, and it will not be able to catch up with the expedition to the Arctic continent.
As for the military materiel for the expedition to Northrend. The Demon King's Army is well prepared. The previous wheat harvest had been accompanied by ample grain reserves. Gade mobilized all the men, women, and children who could be mobilized to work overtime to make dry rations for the troops that were about to go out.
Ash and Aunt Coffeepot dominate it all, and their culinary skills are in full swing when preparing the army's rations.
Dante is so fond of Ash's fairy grass pastry that he almost can't get enough of it when he wants to eat it, much to the amusement of Ash and Aunt Coffeemaker.
During this time, Lisa learned a lot of powerful magic and alchemy from the Forbidden Encyclopedia, which played a good role in the Demon King's armament war.
She taught Gihind the alchemy she had learned from the books. Have the Troll Alchemist craft a variety of medicines for the troops' healing use.
With the abundant financial support of the Demon King's Army and the strong trade support of Grande, Gihinder can be said to be like a tiger with wings. Dante equipped him with enough helpers. Let him use full power to make all kinds of potions for future wars.
In addition to providing alchemy recipes for the Demon King's army, Lisa also began training her own mage troops. As a traditional mage of ice and fire, she uses the knowledge of magic in the forbidden encyclopedia as a foundation to create new powerful attack magic on her own.
Her ice magic is "Diamond Star", and her fire magic is "Phoenix Wings Soaring". She tried to teach her two tricks to her mage-soldiers, soldiers, and subordinates. Although her subordinates can't reach her power, as long as there are a large number of people, the power of launching together should not be underestimated.
In addition to adding new killer weapons to his Demon One, Hawking mainly helps Captain Jack and the skeleton sailors repair the ship.
Dante's expedition to Northrend brought out the following generals:
Ash, Lisa, Boggs, Thunder, Hank, and Ariuzhe.
The three Boggs brothers expressed their sincere gratitude to Dante for his willingness to lead the expedition. Hank and the Thunder are eager to take the plunge and seem desperate to show Dante what they're capable of.
At the same time, news came from the Blood Elves. After Dante helps Kael'thas, King of the Blood Elves, solve the Nightmare Beast problem, Grandet is able to trade with the Blood Elves. During this period, the cooperation between the two sides was relatively smooth, and their respective benefits were relatively good.
In general, both Grandet and Kael'thas were relatively satisfied with trade.
When the Demon King's army was about to prepare for the battle, the blood elves sent a batch of muskets to Cogwheel. Grandet was very happy and wanted to try his hand at the musket and show off his company's strength by the way. So he asked Dante to bring with him a thousand goblin mercenaries, all armed with the blood elves' muskets.
Dante thought for a moment and agreed to his request.
Even with nineteen warships, it would not be possible to transport a full hundred thousand troops to Northrend in a short time. Dante and Grandet summed it up, using a battleship and an airship to transport together. Lisa leads the mage unit in a large teleportation spell that shortens the travel time of battleships and airships.
However, no matter how powerful the magic is, there is a limit, and the large teleportation magic cannot directly transmit a large number of soldiers to Northrend, and it still needs to be transported by a means of transportation.
If the mage forces cooperate with the transportation of warships and airships, it will take about twenty days for the 100,000 troops to be transported to the continent of Northrend.
"Master, we don't need to send everyone over." Gade reminded Dante, "The main force that fights Alsace shouldn't be us." Both the Alliance and the Horde have sent 100,000 men, but they still have a large number of troops left in their continental sphere of influence. We don't have to send everybody out. ”
"Send half of it." Dante thought for a moment and said, "Have the Alliance and the Horde established a stronghold in Northrend now?" ”
"Well, they've already established." "We're going to build a stronghold too." (To be continued.) )
