Chapter 390: The Meeting—The Big Picture Is Decided!
Chapter 390 Meeting - The Overall Situation Has Been Decided!
Seeing that the Draenei were about to be expelled from the sphere of influence on the Azeroth continent, Velony finally couldn't help it, not only agreed to the return of Flame Eagle, but even gritted his teeth and squeezed out the elite to join the coalition.
The Hand of Argus, the Bloodhoof Guards of Thunder Cliff, the Totem Warriors, and the Spellbreakers of Silvermoon City are all troops of the same status and strength, which can be called the last elite of the Draenei, plus the so-called thousand elite paladins are already hemorrhagic in terms of the current embarrassing situation of the Draenei
But now I am relieved, don't you think it's over? Xie Feng sneered, looked at the prophet Wei Lun, who wanted to try his best to save his impression, and pursed his lips disdainfully.
If you had relented earlier, and hadn't pulled out the Muru thing, there would have been no chance to force the Delanees. Now, even if you do send Naru to war, everyone will not have a good face, let alone Naru will go to war? The opponent is the famous Cthun
The fact that Delaney agreed to send troops but selectively ignored whether Naru would play or not naturally made everyone somewhat dissatisfied.
However, after all, the other party is also a force, at least there is no evil deeds, and it is not easy to retreat if you want to participate in the war, so the envoys chose to acquiesce in their status. And Xie Feng didn't persecute too much, although today has somewhat caused some estrangement between the Delaneei and the natives of Azeroth, but excessive persecution is likely to backfire, so he simply accepts it.
The prophet Velun stayed on the deck without embarrassment, and by the time he wanted to go back, the portal had disappeared, and the seats present were all counted according to the number of people
Sent back at the door? There are all people with heads and faces, and this kind of obvious act of provoking people naturally can't be done.
Just as he was in a dilemma, Marshal Wendthor, who had been sitting silent, got up and left his seat, said hello to everyone, and returned to Stormwind in a small boat. After all, he agreed to the Draenei to join the alliance, and he was still an ally on the same front without completely turning his face, although there was some estrangement, but he couldn't just let the tribe and neutral forces see a good show, right?
The departure of the old marshal finally freed Wei Lun from an embarrassing situation, and the five races of the alliance each took a place and began to confront the five tribes of the tribe.
All the people who have been changed have already arrived, and those who should not have come are not invited, and the envoys of various ethnic groups and forces have expressed their positions, and the talks have begun to come to an end.
The number of troops to be sent has been determined, the supplies are in addition to each ready, Kurtilas and Dalaran have agreed to give a part, and the problem of transporting troops has been solved, so the rest
"The coalition forces must have a commander, right?" Asker's casual remark once again made the slightly eased situation depressing and dignified.
The order is unclear, the command is chaotic, and it has always been a taboo for soldiers, but when Arthas slaughtered Stratholme, Uther was able to take away a lot of paladins? He is the prince's saying that the battle of Angela is clearly that the coalition forces are at a disadvantage, and if the fighters are delayed because of the commander-in-chief and orders, or even the order is changed, etc., then there is no need to fight
However, the so-called coalition forces, but many racial forces have been brought together under pressure, and there is a deep grudge against each other, who can suppress all the soldiers, including the enemy?
Everyone's eyes fell on Duke Berval for the first time. There is no way, no matter whether it is strength, fame, character or ability to command the army, only he is the most suitable
But under the expectation of everyone, Duke Boval did not have the slightest sense of deserving of the burden on his face, but was slightly irritable, shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, and finally glared at Xie Feng angrily.
Hero-level paladin, maybe a little worse than King Sarufar, but he doesn't necessarily lose if he fights with the cheapness of his profession.
Not to mention his character, if he wanted to, Stormwind would produce a Bervar king, and the tribesmen would admire his noble personality.
And he was born in the military, and he has a reputation for relying on one vicious battle, and his command ability is absolutely second to none in Stormwind City and even the Alliance.
But the problem is, now that Stormwind City has lost two kings in succession, and Kurtilas and Riptide Fort are independent, even the main city has been riddled with holes by Xie Feng, who can sit in charge except him? Marshal Wendsol's reputation and ability are also not bad, but after all, he only has the strength of the ninth order, and the deterrent power is obviously not enough.
The most important thing is that the little king and the old king want to get it back, the culprit Black Dragon brother and sister are all hero-level strength, do you want Archbishop Benedictas to be the priest of the top tank?
To sum up, this figure who is obviously the most suitable to be a commander is the one who is the most incapable of taking office.
Looking at Duke Boval, who was scarred again and almost annoyed, Gianna, Luo Ning, and the alliance envoys all had an urge to tear Xie Feng apart
Just as the alliance rejects the tribe, the tribe does not want its boss to be a strong man of a hostile force.
"How about I propose that Gianna be the commander?" After being quiet for a long time, Luo Ning suddenly spoke out and strongly supported this junior.
Excluding the factor of women, Gianna is famous enough, she is passable in the tribe and the alliance, and her strength is equally strong, she can suppress this group of proud soldiers, and she has taken her cronies to fight on two continents, and even the battle of Haishan, and her command ability is not bad. Except for not being able to personally kill the enemy to boost morale.、There are basically no regrets.
"Hmph", "cut~", "噫~~~" The three obviously unhappy, disdainful, and even coaxing voices sounded at the same time, and the angry Luo Ning's face was red and white for a while.
"In what capacity does she command this force? Lord of Theramore? Tan Ruide didn't give a little face, snorted coldly, and pointed at Luo Ning with his sword.
With that hideous look, overexerted and white fingers, and bloodshot red eyes, anyone could tell that he was now hovering between a near-explosion and a collapse
It is undeniable that the death of Admiral Dalin brought a long respite between the Alliance and the Horde, and avoided the needless sacrifice of countless warriors in a brutal battle.
Whether it is the alliance or the tribe, they must admit the selflessness and nobility of what Gianna has done, except for Xie Feng's strangeness, even the king of Sarufar will have a trace of respect for her. Therefore, no one has ever refuted Gianna's original choice in public, unable or unwilling. But there are always exceptions
Tanred is the exception of cannibalism and room-mates, which is the most sad and helpless.
The choice she made would have been a nightmare for Gianna's life, and no one would believe that she, who was so merciful that she could not bear the victimization of innocents, would be indifferent to her father's death.
But how good can Tamred be? What do you think when you hear that your most respected father was killed by an enemy in your little sister, and the enemy who killed your eldest brother was the one who killed you? If you don't completely collapse, even if you have a very good mental quality
Luo Ning was deflated, but he had nothing to say, irrefutable, the private affairs of the Kurtilas Kingdom, Gianna did not express his position, what could he do?
And the second one with disdain, naturally we Xie Feng children's shoes made it.
After Tanred, he did not give him a good face. He crossed his legs on the spot and squinted at the two of them: "Woman, after all, a woman" "Don't be like Stratholme, halfway through the fight because of the slaughter of the Zerg and relent, leave the army and run back to Theramore"
Admiral Dai Lin is proud of the incident, so this talk will encircle the orcs, so Xie Feng directly changed his target and directly talked about the Stratholme incident.
Aske, who made that teasing voice, immediately received: "Arthas, I don't think that if I die again this time, the Lich King will be able to resurrect me~"
As soon as the two sang and harmonized, they took Gianna's original retreat of the friendly army under the city of Stratholme as a handle, and they had one idea that Gianna must not be allowed to lead the army
Asker's reaction made Xie Feng have a vague guess, no one knew when this dead rider lord died,
But now he died in the Northern Expedition of Alsace? Or just die in Stratholme?
No matter what happened, but with such a fierce reaction from Tanred and the attitudes of Asker and Xie Feng, Gianna was no longer suitable to be the commander of this battle.
And looking at the look, she herself is not very reluctant. Luo Ning was bored with himself, sat back with a stiff face, and fiddled with the flaming staff that had performed many miracles.
Next to him, the deer helmet, who also had a big beard, moved his ass slightly unnaturally, and the leader of Kenrito suddenly had a black line.
"What do you think of my proposal to High Priest Tyrande?" This time, it was King Magni, who recommended Tyrande with a very self-aware name.
He knows to what extent he is able to command the battle, and it is a wonder to see that the Thunder Spear actually parachuted into Aoshan to fight, and finally let the Brute Hammer airlift supplies
In comparison, Tyrande, who has experienced countless wars, should be much better, right?
"Can anyone tell me where Marvi and his watchmen are?" Commander in the Night? The blood elves naturally don't do it
Xie Feng's words made the scene suddenly quiet, the previous conviction of sneaking up on friendly troops was not an ordinary toughness.
"So much nonsense? Why don't you come? King Magni, who was speechless at the top, shouted to Xie Feng angrily and angrily.
This time it was Xie Feng's turn to be speechless, and his eyes rolled up for a while. How dare you hand over the soldiers when I command you? It's just nonsense
With his strength and qualifications, not to mention that the alliance is worried that the army will be dragged over by him and sent to death, even the tribe will definitely not agree
Rectify several people, either have a bad case record or lack of strength, or have poor character, lack of qualifications, etc., all of which cannot satisfy everyone.
Old Ferding is not bad, but the Eastern Plague still needs him to be in charge, and the reconstruction of the Silver Hand is also in full swing, so you can't ignore one or the other, right?
It's the same with Deer Helm, with the hatred between him and the worms, everyone is worried about whether he will let the coalition and the enemy die to vent their anger, and finally lose both
As for Velony and the Draenei, they are not in consideration for the time being.
There is no one to choose the original commander, King Sarufar.
The point is, before the impassioned proclamation at Angela's Gate was shouted, the reputation of this man in the league was outrageous
Executioners, butchers, demons, anyway, the evaluation of violence, blood, and cruelty are all used on him.
Does the Alliance care if he was controlled by demonic blood at the time? Anyway, I killed a lot of people and did a lot of bad things.
It is certain that if he went to war now, if King Sarufar had not been distracted by the spear stabbed from his back, he would definitely follow in the footsteps of his old boss Orgrim
Originally, King Sarufar was able to become the commander of the coalition because the tribal race contributed more in the battle, and Bervar couldn't leave Stormwind City, and Gianna had a lot of strength as an intermediary. But now, the appearance of Tanred made Gianna obviously retreat and be silent, and Xie Feng didn't have much to eat in the alliance.
So much so that King Sarufar's original undisputed position as commander has now become a bit confusing
Fortunately, there are only so many strong people in various races, and Bolval is really inseparable from the alliance, and after sparing a circle, he finally returned to the original point.
Even if he was reluctant, he had to admit that King Sarufar was the most suitable choice, but the proposer was replaced by Gianna and Old Fordin, and everyone acquiesced.
Of course, admission is recognition, at most it is oral, if you want to convince the entire coalition soldiers, it depends on King Sarufar himself, but is there any suspense?
The commander was confirmed, but it was obvious that some people were unhappy, and the rest were some minor problems, and everyone simply wanted to break up.
However, as soon as they left their seats, Hamil and Deerhelm got up at the same time to stop them
"Everyone, the matter is not over yet, we still have the most important problem to solve the massive amount of supplies" Hamil solemnly reminded everyone: "The consumption of tens of thousands of troops and the barren Silissus Desert are absolutely impossible to give, even if we supply them with all our strength and Admiral Thanred takes out all the ships to transport, it is not enough"
"In the hot and dry weather, the demand for those warriors in their hands will definitely be a nightmare, and the demand for medicinal herbs will increase exponentially, and the Cenarion Council will not be able to come up with it at all."
"Broken weapons, armor and arrows, food for soldiers, tents, and even water sources will be a serious problem, and the biggest difficulty we have to face is not the massive number of insects, not the ancient evil gods, but the harsh environment, the climate, and the countless logistical troubles that arise from it."
Everyone looked at each other, except for Tyrande, who knew the details of the last quicksand battle and did not move, and slowly sat down again.
Now Xie Feng also thought of the two extremely important steps before the door of Angela was opened: collecting materials and wireless pyramid schemes
Wireless MLM is better to say, the so-called prestige enhancement is just to find free labor to clean up the periphery of bugs, the coalition can follow the old way, as long as a little benefit, there will be adventurers to work for it. But collecting supplies is not so simple
When faced with a shortage of battlefield materials and the return materials hoarded in the auction house will be officially requisitioned as soon as possible, without this main source and the various races cannot afford it, when will it be necessary to rely on the adventurer's personal collection ability?
If the various clans could have prepared them themselves, Hamil and the deer helmets would not have been so solemnly explained
"Blitzkrieg" Xie Feng waved his hand resolutely and shouted: "Compete with the Qila Worm Man and Cthun at the fastest speed and in the shortest time."
Isn't that the best way to do when there is a shortage of supplies? The others were about to nod, but Hamuel denied it again
"No way, we don't have the strength, the number of damn bugs is multiple, ten, or even more than ours."
After speaking, he glanced at Xie Feng, shook his head and said: "The only possibility of the so-called blitzkrieg is that we are exhausted to death after killing a certain number of bugs."
Xie Feng smiled bitterly, isn't the most terrifying thing about the insect people in his pulling is the endless insect sea tactics? And compared to the human sea tactics of natural disasters, the individual strength of these insects is stronger
"But even if we have complete logistics and want to consume slowly, the Worm Pullers will never agree," said the Troll Hunter Dan Jie, indifferently but surely:
"The battle of Angela will never end in a short time, nor will it drag on for too long, those bugs will not give us too much time~"
Bugmen and trolls obviously have more say than the Night Elves, and the Troll Empire in ancient times started a protracted battle with them, and finally the Night Elves took the opportunity to occupy the Well of Eternity, and then the empire collapsed and has been in a state of collapse ever since. The fact that the trolls with outrageous regenerative abilities have suffered a lot shows how strong the insects are.
"How long is the war going to last?" King Sarufar, who was in such a predicament and had just taken over the task, was also a little troubled, and couldn't help frowning and asking.
"Three months," Deer Helmet replied with a blank face, "This is the most ideal choice." ”
After a pause, he sneered at everyone: "Don't expect a second beetle wall, only if you completely destroy the insect people within three months, you have no way out."
In addition to the magical barrier built by the dragons, the druids of Cenarion joined forces to cast spells and summon the blessings of the moon god to finally take shape.
The Staff of Quicksand was created by the Bronze Dragon Prince, but it only opened the Wall of Beetles, but could not close it. Because the scepter can only control the magic array inside, once the magic circle is opened, the wall summoned by the druids will collapse, and the bronze dragon obviously can't make it reorganized.
Deerhelm hates bugs and wants to fight with them to Yellow Springs, can you count on him to get the druids to do it again?
What's more, if you can't completely eliminate Cthun this time, you may really have to ask Naru to make a move next time, and the ancient gods and mortals who have recovered to a certain level are definitely no opponents.
"Three months" Hearing this, all the envoys frowned at the same time.
"Don't look at me, the blood elves don't have any food left~" Seeing that Old Ferdin, Demitea and Rayblad actually set their eyes on him, Xie Feng rolled his eyes.
What is this? Seeing that he gave a little defective product to the Silver Dawn and the Scarlet Crusaders, he thought he was a big landowner? Don't even think about it
Among the various forces present, the relatively wealthy ones were the Night Elves, the Blood Elves, and the Kurtilas, with two Elves holding the lion's share.
The problem is, the blood elves don't have the habit of hoarding food, they prefer precious magic materials, and how many uses do these valuables have?
Not to mention the medicinal materials, during this period of time, Azeroth did not have a weapon fight of less than a hundred people for a day, even if it was a blessing from the Titans, the healing herbs themselves were not enough, who still had the ability to hoard? The same goes for other copper, iron, leather, cloth, etc., which are in demand in Azeroth, which is firing everywhere, and countless fronts.
As for humans, orcs, undead, etc., don't count on, it's good that they don't ask for anything else.
Who can make up the amount of tens of thousands of troops for three months, and multiply it in a short period of time because of the harsh environment?
"The main food of the Kingdom of Kurtilas is sea fish, although it can be salted and preserved, but it can be eaten in the dry desert," Thanred shook his head with a wry smile.
The others were speechless. Salted fish, in the real sense of the word, salted fish really want to eat these, and if they don't die, they have to transport three times the amount of fresh water?
"Forget about the sea fish, but the secret barbecue is still okay" Xie Feng wiped the cold sweat on his head and proposed: "The Elwyn Forest and the Twilight Forest are full of wild wolves, and the barren land is full of pits and valleys are full of velociraptors, we can hunt them and get enough food as quickly as possible."
The two archdruids frowned at the same time, but considering the danger of the Angela Bugs, it was still the lighter of them
"Don't over-hunt, be sure to leave some for them to continue breeding," Hamuel cautioned, or rather demanded.
Disrupting the balance of nature is contrary to the Druid teachings, but at this time, it is a bit difficult to ask the two Great Druids to lead by example.
The food has solved the big head, the other two elves and Stormwind City, Orgrimmar and others have taken out the big head, and they can get by if they get together.
"Cloth and battlefield first-aid bandages are also easy, we can send special people in various cities to buy them from adventurers~" Rommel was not to be outdone, and also made a suggestion: "Adventurers, mercenaries are on the verge of life and death all year round, and everyone can make bandages with several hands, even grandmasters are not a few." It's definitely faster to buy from them than to make it yourself."
"Maybe the quality will be better!" Xie Feng added a little speechlessly. In the case of an extreme shortage of medicines, cherishing them, and not being able to recover the mana of the injury through food, almost all of the adventurers who have been adventurers are bandage professionals, this method is not only labor-saving and trouble-saving, but even money-saving Saying that's what the original coalition army did
"What about medicinal herbs, mineral leather, etc.?" Bane asked gently, "We must have strong enough weapons and armor to handle this brutal battle"
Luo Ning asked puzzledly, "Leather?" Isn't it okay to collect wolves and velociraptors while hunting? ”
"How is that possible?" Bane rolled his eyes: "The one who dries the animal skin and puts it directly on his body is not called leather armor, it is called looking for death."
Shuharu was born in a nomadic tribe and usually wore leather armor, how could the complexity of his production be as simple as Luo Ning said?
Xie Feng is happy. To be honest, he didn't know how difficult it was to make leather armor, and he wanted to come up with this proposal just now, but fortunately there was a Luo Ning top cylinder
Don't you know what to do if you can't wear leather armor? After a few speechless glances at Ronin, Bane shook his head and continued:
"Thunder Bluff and Orgrimmar have a certain amount of leather armor stockpiled, but the amount is very small, it doesn't work, we have to think of something else."
Everyone provides a certain amount of supplies, but the total number is still insufficient, and they are a little helpless.
"We can't raise it, it doesn't mean that others can't" Seeing that the heat was about the same, Xie Feng then made a suggestion. Waiting to attract everyone's attention, he dragged out a gold coin and threw his fingers: "Don't forget, as long as the goblins have money, there is nothing they can't do, can't they buy money from these profiteers?" ”
I don't know if I have suffered the loss of goblins, Admiral Tanred replied angrily: "You also know that they are profiteers? Who can satisfy their appetite? ”
Undoubtedly, in the eyes of other races, the impression of goblins as mercenary is deeply rooted in the body and mind.
Not only Tannred, but almost everyone except Rommel thought that the goblins would definitely take the opportunity to open their mouths and knock hard.
However, Xie Feng was confident that he would be able to collect these materials at a relatively low price but with extreme enthusiasm
"Goblin, leave it to me~" smiled confidently: "I have a little friendship with the city lord of Ratchet City, I think, will give us a satisfactory answer"
"Ratchet City's reputation is relatively good, it has connections with many forces, and its trade network is very developed," he said after a pause, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, "but what they are best at is architecture, and the quality is absolutely different from their engineering."
Boval was speechless, his forehead was bruised, Salufar and Old Ferding were speechless, looking at each other and smiling bitterly, regretting that they had accepted such a bastard apprentice to pull business for the goblins? It's good and powerful
It's a little reluctant, but there's no other way, and Angela's Gate can't be delayed any longer.
This amount of money is naturally funded by the forces of Silvermoon, Stormwind, Railroad, Darkness, Kurtilas, and Dalaran, and O'Gray Thunder and Darnassus are basically not counted on.
Putting the last hope on the spirit of the earth can be regarded as a contribution to the continent by these Azeroth natives, albeit for a reward
When everyone left the table again, no one came out to stop them. Separately taking a dinghy is to want to be unrecognizable at the Stormwind City pier.
With Bolval taking the lead, everyone set the outline in one day, and the prototype of the coalition army has appeared. Next, there are the details of the location, time, marching route, and the amount of supplies and money issued by each of them, and these are the most tedious and boring
However, Xie Feng has an advantage that others don't have-Deputy Envoy Celesta Compared with this kind of price adjustment, it is more appropriate to leave it to a more careful woman.
