Chapter Eighty-Two: Alcatraz
It's still that nameless village, where the two Shushan revenge armies used to separate and now converge here. It's just that the Western Route Army is calm, while the Eastern Route Army, which has penetrated deep into Alterac, is all dejected, like a defeated rooster.
"Mr. Blue Feather, lost the battle?" Lan Ya asked tentatively, Lan Yu's eyes flickered and he raised his head slightly, and then quickly lowered his head and shook it vigorously.
"Could it be that the brothers have suffered heavy casualties?" Lan Ya's color changed suddenly.
Lan Yu hurriedly raised his head and shook it desperately, shaking his cheeks straight.
Now Lan Ya wondered, neither defeated the battle, nor did there be any loss of personnel, you are all like this, what does it mean?
"Don't ask, let's go." Barton Jr. said decadently.
Lan Ya realized that the Eastern Route Army was all on foot, and the war horses were all gone!
Seeing that her brothers were there, Lan Ya didn't want to ask any more, so she nodded and ordered the two armies to join forces and drive to the main battlefield in the south. However, one soldier not only did not make the ranks, but instead ran over on horseback, and Lanya looked at it and saw that it was the new recruit Zhuoka.
"Lord Lanya, I'...... Would like to take a family leave. The little girl Zoka said in a panic,
Asking for family leave before going to the battlefield is actually a violation of military law, and Lan Ya can categorically refuse, but seeing Zhuoka's lost soul, she finally nodded and agreed. "Leave for one month, if you don't return to the team to report after the deadline, you will be punished as a deserter."
"Yes!" Zoka gave a military salute, turned his horse's head and ran towards the village.
Lanya chased after Zhuoka, only to find that the small village was quiet, and no one came to see him off.
The Shushan revenge army left, only Lan Ya stayed, she rode into the village on a black cloud, but found that the doors and windows of every house were closed, and there was no one in sight. Restraining the war horse and listening carefully, the little girl changed color, shook the reins, and urged the black cloud to kick open the door of a house.
The gate and the door frame fell to the ground with a bang, revealing a panicked villager behind the door, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief when he found that it was Zhuoka. However, after he saw Zhuoka's outfit clearly, he became restrained again, and his eyes flashed: "Zhuoka, I heard that you have joined the legion of the Arathi Basin, and everyone is happy for you!" But...... Why don't you have ......"
Zhuoka raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense, why are you looking forward to us leaving?" What's going on in the mountains? And where is Gherda?! ”
The villagers were taken aback, and under the pressure of Zhuoka's cannibalistic gaze, they rubbed again, and finally said with difficulty: "In the mountains...... It's all good, the man named Sauron, who has been proclaimed king, is gathering troops and horses in the ruins of the former Alterac Palace, and promulgating a new policy......"
Sauron? King? Zhuoka's little head is completely confused, what kind of mess is this? "I don't care about that, tell me Gerda's whereabouts."
At this moment, someone shouted on the village road outside, and Zhuoka turned his head to look, only to see Rosen Xavier running in this direction, one in one hand.
"Zoka! Where are you? Rosen shouted anxiously, and Zoka hurriedly ran over with the reins.
Seeing Zhuoka in military uniform, Lawson breathed a sigh of relief, threw the two villagers he was dragging to the ground, and pointed at his nose and scolded.
Zoka was so anxious that he shouted before he could get closer, "Rosen, what's going on?"
Rosen scolded the whole village this time, he stomped his feet and roared: "You damn rats, you lost Gelda, and you didn't look for it, you actually slipped back home by yourself!" Why don't you all die outside! ”
When Zoka heard this, she became angry, and she inquired about the disappearance of Lower Gherda, and immediately rode alone to the mountains. Lawson chased all the way to the feet, took a mule from someone's house, and rode after him.
Thus began his vacation, and the Shushan Revenge Legion in the Arashi Basin began to converge south in batches, and they set up a second line of defense 150 kilometers behind the Falling Star Guard.
At the foot of the Iron Fort Mountain, the forward troops of the alliance are also being assembled, and it is said that it is the vanguard, but in fact the establishment is staggering. In addition to the Night Elves, who temporarily defaulted, the three parties of humans, dwarves, and gnomes gathered a total of 50,000 troops, not counting the 30,000 farmers who were requisitioned for logistics and transportation.
In order to set up a huge army, the primeval forest under the Iron Fort Mountain was cleared for a radius of five kilometers, and the school field was full of flags and barracks. The armies of all walks of life drilled back and forth with murderous spirit, and the shouts and shouts mixed with the war drums could be heard for ten miles.
The main force of this vanguard is the Northern Legion of Stormwind, supplemented by a field legion of the Copperbeard Dwarves and a field legion of the Pygmy Clan, and the commander of the Northern Legion is Wendthor.
They will reorganize here, and after the drill is coordinated, they will immediately leave for the northern battlefield.
Now, the Sador Bridge, which connects the eastern kingdoms, is the focus of the continent, and the first large-scale civil war in human history is about to begin. The war set several records at the same time, including the largest number of troops mobilized, the largest amount of logistical supplies, and the most complex forces involved.
The consequences of this battle are conceivable, if one side of the alliance wins, the entire elite region of the Eastern Kingdom will be completely occupied by the alliance led by humans. At that time, after only a few years of integration, the alliance will be fully capable of fighting on two fronts, driving the Undercity Ghost in the Lordaeron capital to the north and Treasure Cove, the stronghold of venture capital companies in the south.
The unification of the entire eastern kingdom will be unstoppable, and then, the alliance will cross the sea to attack the base camp of the tribe, and with the coordination of the night elves, the tribe will not be able to stop the integrated million army, and it will be inevitable.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the alliance can win, otherwise, the so-called "alliance" will become a joke if the national strength is lost in vain. And once the vitality is injured in the great war, it is entirely possible that other dormant forces will take advantage of the situation to besiege and bite off a piece of meat on this "lion".
However, both sides are not opponents of equal magnitude, whether in terms of military strength or political resources. In the analysis of bystanders, the only chance for Arashi's side is to hold on to the Sadol Bridge, as long as it reaches a stalemate, the huge attrition of the alliance army itself will drag down the economies of the three countries.
This is not entirely impossible, as the entire eastern kingdom is actually made up of two parts, the northern part is called Lordaeron and the southern part is Little Azeroth. Two huge plates are separated by a strait in Sadol, only a kilometer at its narrowest point, connected by the Sadol Bridge built by the Brute Hammer Dwarves.
At the beginning, Youyou had proposed to simply blow up this majestic bridge, but under the opposition of Cheng Xiaotian, this proposal was shelved. First, this bridge connects the north and the south, and is the lifeline of the eastern kingdom, once blown up, it will become a sinner, leaving a stain that can never be erased, and second, the alliance will definitely turn to attack by water, which will be more difficult to defend.
Because of the fear of the Water Elf Kingdom, Stormwind City's navy has been nesting in the military port, and they are not included in the first two batches.
Only Cheng Xiaotian knew that the invincible navy of the Water Spirit Kingdom was probably close to Andermai and could not give Alashi sea support......
Cheng Xiaotian's guess was roughly accurate, slightly biased, in the undeclared war against Andermai, the first to enter the battlefield was the former Defia Brotherhood fleet led by Van Cleef, who anchored 200 nautical miles east of Andermai's main island and lurked. The Horde's fleet was hidden 200 nautical miles west of Andermai, and the two armies were at a whirlwind, waiting for the Emeicheng fleet to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.
The wait would continue for a few more days, and at this time, the mixed fleet of Emei City did not go straight to the predetermined battlefield, but broke away from the main route and sailed to an island 500 nautical miles northeast of Andermai.
Soto Island, isolated from the sea, was formed by a volcanic eruption 7,000 years ago and is still very young.
Geographically, the island is far away from any major power, and it is completely self-contained, and it never has political exchanges with the outside world. The leader here is said to be a human family with the surname Soto, but few people have seen their family, and the people who usually come into contact with the people are fierce and vicious government soldiers.
However, the people here are not good birds, either pirates or fugitives from various countries, and there are adventurers who are greedy and not afraid of death. Therefore, there is also a unique name here - Alcatraz Island. (To be continued.) )
