Chapter 250: Kalimdo's Coalition Army (Two in One...... In addition to leaving the necessary troops to defend the territory, we in Shuharu will send 20,000 Bloodhoof Guards, 45,000 troops and the Dragon Wrestling Legion, and 50,000 vassals for a total of 115,000 to join the coalition! At the same time, support a batch of herbs, leather, grain and grass, and ordnance supplies! ”

Kane* Bloodhoof's tone was calm and slow, but the words he spoke were loud and clear, showing everyone the Minotaurs' firm determination to form a coalition army!

The leaders present, especially Tyrande, who represented the Night Elves, and Gazruwe, who represented the Goblin forces of Ratchet City, looked at the Grand Chief of the Minotaur with admiration. The other forces may not know much about it, but as a local force, they are quite familiar with the strength of the Minotaur clan.

The Minotaur, who is not a large population in the first place, has experienced the attrition of countless years of centaur wars, and sent a force of more than 100,000 people, which can be said to be full support! What's more, even if there are only more than 60,000 Minotaur warriors, but that is the "strongest on land", how effective it is is self-evident!

Kane *Bloodhoof sat back in his seat calmly, and the old Tang on the side also interjected: "The demon's combat power should not be underestimated, when dispatching troops, I hope you can choose the elite as much as possible to avoid excessive casualties!" ”

As soon as Old Tang's words fell, Kael'thas *Sunchaser, who had been silent, spoke in a reserved and decisive voice:

"We Blood Elves have just resisted the invasion of the Scourge, and it's time to rebuild our home, plus we have to guard against the Amani trolls, so we can't draw too many troops! But it is incumbent upon us to fight the Burning Legion, 6,000 Magisters, 1,000 Priests, and 30,000 Elite Ranger troops will join the Alliance! ”

The elven prince's words made everyone present unexpectedly happy.

Less than 40,000 troops is not a lot, but both the Ranger and the Magister are powerful armies with great prestige in Azeroth. And the fact that the blood elves far away in Quel'Thalas were able to rush to Kalimdor to resist the demons had already overjoyed the forces of Kalimdor. Sure enough, as expected by Old Tang, as soon as the elven prince's righteous and awe-inspiring posture came out, the attitude of everyone present towards him improved significantly, and even the two hero-level masters of the dark spear troll no longer frowned at Kael'thas coldly.

"We orcs sent 150,000 troops!"

After pondering for a moment, Thrall also clenched the hammer of destruction and announced the bombshell news with a straight face: "The elites of the three major clans of War Song, Thunder King, and Blood Cave are all dispatched, and the Kukaron Guards are on standby. But we have just landed in Kalimdor and there is a lack of resources. We need enough weapons and equipment, as well as food and grass to support us! ”

Thrall's request for material support did not leave the meeting cold, and to everyone's surprise, the goblin, who had always been mercenary, would take the initiative to take on the task. Gazruvi, the lord of Ratchet City, pushed the nondescript gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said with the merchant's characteristic philistine smile:

"Ratchet City can be responsible for providing the allied forces with all the supplies they need at cost price, with only half of the deposit in advance, and the rest of the payment can be gradually repaid after the war!"

It was not surprising that the goblins were still proposing a money deal at this time, and the fact that they were able to provide supplies at cost price and only need to pay half of the deposit in advance was already great news to those who had dealt with the goblins. If the goblins really do support for free, hell will it be!

"Gazruvi, it's the first time I've thought you're so pleasing to the eye for a guy who wants money!" Old Tang looked at the goblin city lord and couldn't help but quip, but the goblin city lord replied to Lao Tang with a somewhat funny human aristocratic salute. This brief ridicule made the solemn atmosphere in the conference room rarely ease.

"The deposit is not a problem!" Kael'thas also showed a smile and took the initiative to agree: "Silvermoon City will bear this part of the deposit for the orcs!" Also supports some enchanted weapons and armor. ”

As soon as the elven prince's words fell, Thrall and Hellroar's faces stayed for a brief moment of consternation, and after a while, Thrall and Hellroar, who had come to their senses, looked happy and sincerely thanked the elven prince in a friendly manner. Kael'thas returned the salute with a reserved and elegant smile. The originally unfriendly atmosphere between the two clans was greatly eased by the elven prince's kind measures, which made Old Tang breathe a long sigh of relief in his heart, as if the problem of establishing a new tribe was not as difficult as he imagined......

At the other end of the round table, after seeing the orc's generosity, the human race was also not to be outdone, and responded-for-tat. After discussing with Duke Leorik for a while, Gianna stood up and looked around at a calm voice and said:

"Theramore will also send 150,000 troops! 60,000 elites of the 7th Legion, 90,000 Kurtilas Marines! But......" The female mage's tone turned intently, staring at Old Tang and expelling the conditions: "We need the power to move freely in the barren land, establish transit stations and strongholds, and not be rudely blocked in the swamp!" ”

The first half of the female mage's words were impeccable, but as soon as the second half came out, all the leaders in the hall were embarrassed, and even Duke Leorik frowned. The meeting was discussing the formation of the coalition army, and all races had temporarily put aside their prejudices and hatred to gather strength, but what did the second half of humanity mean?

Taking advantage of the opportunity?

Duke Leorik smiled silently wryly, there was no doubt that Gianna's last words were too immature, and the timing was not right. There are some things that you can't declare even if you want to do them, otherwise wouldn't it be a naked-naked provocation and a giveaway?

After all, Gianna is still young, and she is not the strong woman with superb political skills, diplomacy and politics cannot be played without rich experience, even if Gianna's talent is good, she is still a chick in this regard, and she still brings too much personal affection in handling things.

Take her Tiyì as an example, if you actively participate in the coalition and have a good relationship with all races, it is not impossible to get out of the swamp and set up a camp after the victory of the war, at least the vast majority of races will turn a blind eye to this matter. But now it is blatantly brought up at the meeting, and it will not work! The Burning Legion soldiers are coming to the city, and all races are trying their best to increase their chances of victory, but humans are taking the opportunity to compete for benefits, what does this make other races think? Especially under the premise that the Minotaur is the first to advocate and the blood elves are generous to righteousness......

There is no doubt that Gianna's gaffe made Theramore feel good in front of many forces......

Don Sr. was noncommittal about Gianna's "aggressive" attitude.

The future ruler of Theramore, who is clever and powerful, is now just a scheming little girl in the eyes of Old Tang, and if you care too much about her, it will be too cheap.

"I can pretend I didn't hear what I said!" Shrugging at Duke Leoric, Old Tang lightly revealed the embarrassment in the conference room, "During the Battle of the Sea and Seamount, since the humans joined the coalition army, they were our allies, and they could transfer supplies through our Shuharu strongholds and camps in the Barrens, and of course the same was true for other races. ”

"As for setting up additional camps?" Old Tang's tone paused slightly, and his tone suddenly replied word by word: "I don't think it's necessary, right?" ”

The leaders nodded at Old Tang with kindness, and they were unwilling to continue to dwell on this issue. The paladin pulled the female mage, who knew that she had lost her words and looked embarrassed, back to her seat, and then nodded apologetically at Old Tang.

There was such a small episode, and the atmosphere in the hall was a little subtle and awkward. Fortunately, this embarrassment was quickly and deliberately forgotten by everyone, and the formation of the coalition army continued.

"We, the bear monsters, will send out 50,000 of our compatriots to join the coalition to fight the demons!" A non-standard lingua franca rang in everyone's ears, and the bear shaman, who was not accustomed to talking to foreigners, stopped speaking after saying the troops he had sent.

Old Tang is not surprised that the bear monster can draw 50,000 troops, how can it be said that the bear monster that has not been corrupted by the blood of the devil is also a big force that Kalim has most of, but it has always been indisputable with the world, and naturally there will not be only two or three kittens of the wood-throated bear monster that escaped the catastrophe in the previous life.

"The Dark Spear Trolls will also send 50,000 warriors to join the coalition!"

After consulting with the old heroic troll, Shadowhunter Woking groaned for a long time, and also said the limit of the strength that the Darkspear Troll could withstand.

It is true that trolls are the most populous clan in Azeroth, but the clans of trolls are more complex than the minotaurs and orcs, and Don can't even list them all. The Darkspear Trolls were just one of the banished ones, and their total population was even smaller than that of the Minotaurs. This time, Woking was able to send 50,000 people, and I am afraid that it was already a piece of work cobbled together by the Dark Spear Trolls.

Several major forces involved in the alliance have already shown their sincerity, and only the Night Elves have not yet expressed their position. Everyone's eyes also looked at the frowning and contemplative Tyrande and the calm-looking Garrod* Shadowsong, waiting for the Night Elf to speak.

Garrod looked at Tyrande with an inquiring look, and after receiving the latter's approval, he got up with a confident smile and said the power that the Night Elves could draw!

"The 80,000 warriors of the Sentinel Force have all assembled and are ready to stand by! The High Priest has sent someone to awaken the Grand Druid Malfurion* Fury who is sleeping in the Emerald Dream Realm, and Master Vandal * Deerhelm, when the 30,000 druid troops will be fully engaged in the battle under the leadership of the Council of Cenarion! ”

The rarity of the Druid class is no less than that of the Mage. Even veteran nature believers like the Minotaur can't turn the druids into a formed force, but the Night Elves can! It is even said that the druids are used as regular troops in warfare......

As soon as Garrod said this, races like orcs and humans, who didn't know much about the Night Elves, gasped in the bottom of his heart......

If orcs and humans show the momentum of a dragon crossing the river, then the Night Elves are Kalimdor's most powerful land snake!

The most powerful native force in Kalimdor, tens of thousands of years of recuperation and accumulation, the strength of the Night Elves is not inferior to any race and power in Azeroth! Tens of thousands of years of strong heritage have made the strength of these dancers under the moonlit night unfathomable, and they are more than a step stronger than the blood elves of the same origin! Moreover, for thousands of years, ancient races such as minotaurs, trolls, and dwarves have been fighting for a long time, but the night elves have been hiding behind the scenes, and their strength has not been compromised at all......

Perhaps this is the protection that the only true God of Azeroth has given to her followers?

……

The tone has been set for the formation of a coalition army!

The 600,000 elites of all races in the entire coalition can fight even against millions of demon and undead armies!

In terms of high-end combat power, more than a dozen hero-level masters, plus two super masters with demigod-level strength of Cenarius and Medivan and a hellish roar that may explode at any time and challenge beyond the level, this is already the strongest combat power that Kalimdor can gather! Except for Akmund, whose unfathomable strength is unfathomable, everyone is still unsure, and the other demon lord coalition forces are already enough to compete!

As Medivan said, the coalition is already the last hope for this world. If the coalition forces finally fail, Kalimdor will no longer be able to gather any forces to fight, and the fall will only be imminent...... And if Akmund the Polluter draws on the power of the World Tree as he wishes, then no one in Azeroth will be able to stop the demon leader, and the whole world will be turned upside down once again......

"The 600,000-strong army seems to be huge, but if it fights on its own, it will still be scattered, and it will only be broken by each under the attack of the Burning Legion!" Looking at the solemn but equally resolute faces of the leaders in the hall, Old Tang suddenly broke the silence and asked a key question, drawing everyone's attention back to him again: "We need to truly unite!" Coalition...... A Supreme Commander is needed to control the whole situation! ”

Old Tang's words made the atmosphere in the hall that was originally somewhat relaxed solidify again. As I said to Old Tang, snakes can't be headless, and every wolf pack must have a wolf to hunt successfully. If the coalition forces want to achieve real integration, they must have a unified command and dispatch to ensure that orders and prohibitions are carried out and that their advantages complement each other's strengths. Otherwise, the so-called coalition is a joke, and it will definitely be defeated in the face of demons......

Most of you are battlefield veterans, and this simple truth is not unknown to anyone. But what a privilege and responsibility this is for the supreme commander of the coalition forces, which is a full 600,000 elite troops! Although the various races here briefly put aside their hatred and prejudice under the crisis, they are also wary of each other!

After all, no one would rest assured that their soldiers and the 600,000 army would be handed over to other people to command...... So everyone has a tacit agreement not to mention this issue.

Then Old Tang had no choice but to take this opportunity to make things clear, so as to avoid friction and crises in the future. Since it is a problem that needs to be solved sooner or later, it is better to cut through the mess now...... But the choice of this supreme commander is not so easy to determine!

Qualifications, command ability, prestige, and even relationships with all parties are crucial when determining a candidate!

After a long silence, the orc god of war was the first to stand up and support Old Tang's decision: "Goode is right, since we have formed a coalition army, we must select a commander to lead the overall situation!" Hell Roar paused at this point, as if thinking about a suitable person, and after a while, he spoke again:

"I recommend Goode or Kane Bloodhoof Chieftain!"

It's not that Hell Roar doesn't want to win this glory, it's just that the orc god of war also knows that the orcs are outsiders in Kalimdor after all, not to mention himself or Thrall as the supreme commander, the human side will definitely oppose it, and the other forces of Kalimdor alone will not necessarily agree.

Moreover, the orc god of war is not an orc god of war, and the real orc god of war, Orgrim * The hammer of destruction has fallen. Compared with the hammer of destroying miè, he is more suitable to serve as a peerless fierce general who kills the enemy, and does not know the supreme commander with millions of soldiers. And although Thrall has shown a talent that is not inferior to Orgrim, after all, he is still young and underqualified, and except for the liberation of the asylum, Thrall has not experienced any truly tragic large-scale battles......

In that case, instead of giving this honor and responsibility to others, it is better to support the Minotaur allies! At least Goode's command skills are good, and the Minotaur has a higher prestige in Kalimdor, and is more trusted by all parties, including the orcs!

"Me and the mentor?" Old Tang was really surprised by the roaring of hell, and after a moment of stunned Kane, he shook his head and said, "We are not the right people!" ”

Old Tang is really not polite, but self-aware!

Not to mention the Great Chief Kane* Bloody Hoof, he is brave in battle, more than steady, and has a first-class view of the overall situation, but he has always been as steady as a rock in the use of troops, and there are many deficiencies in adaptability and intrigue. How many catties and taels does not come from a professional class, Lao Tang himself knows very well, and more than five years of growth is not enough to take on this heavy responsibility!

If it is said that 350,000 elites will win the battle against the enemy, Lao Tang will not give in, and he thinks that he is not inferior to anyone; 100,000 tigers, coordinating the three armies, Lao Tang reluctantly made it difficult......

And 600,000 coalition troops...... Let's spare him!

Don didn't dare to joke with the fate of the world of Azeroth......

However, Lao Tang's own failure does not mean that there is no suitable candidate in Lao Tang's heart!

After a deep sigh, Old Tang categorically stated the ideal goal: "I can't do it, but I can recommend one person - General Garrod * Yingge, the commander of the coalition forces during the Battle of the Ancients!" ”

Is there a better candidate than Garrod?

No!

In terms of seniority, as the commander of the Battle of the Ancients, Garrod is the most influential general in the battle against the Burning Legion!

In terms of ability, there are some Garodes in the style of "Han Xin points troops, the more the merrier", has already proved his ability to command three armies and control the male soldiers in the Battle of Antiquity, and his command ability has been recognized by everyone. During the battle of the ancients, even the demigods and dragons were willing to listen to their command!

In terms of prestige, the honor and merit of commanding an army in a large-scale battle, except for the fallen Anduin Lothar and Orgrim Hammer, there is no hero in the whole of Azeroth who can match this Night Elf general!

As for the relationship with the various forces, in this timeline, because of the intervention of Old Don and the wood and grain and grass supported by the Minotaurs, Hellroar did not lead the Warsong Warriors into the Ashen Valley at all, let alone make a feud with the Night Elves, so there was no conflict between the Night Elves and the Orcs. As for the other races, apart from the rift between the blood elves and the night elves' cousins, and the hatred between the elves and the trolls, the various forces here have not clashed, if not befriended the night elves......

In every case, Garrod Shadow Song is the perfect candidate!

Old Tang's mention made all the bigwigs look at each other, and after the orcs and humans explained to Kane*'s bloodhoof, they no longer hesitated after learning about the resume of the night elf general, but voted in favor. The commander of the coalition who was in control of Kalimdor's most powerful army and held 600,000 warriors in his hands was thus decided.

And Garrod * Yingge did not shirk but calmly accepted his fate, and the confidence and calmness that were not shocked also made everyone look up to this famous commander again!

"Since I am the commander, I hope that everyone can do what is ordered and forbidden and be united in this battle." At the insistence of Old Don, Garrod sat side by side with Medivan and Cenarius on the main seat, and said the first words of his appointment in an unquestionable tone, and gave the first order: "According to calculations, the Burning Legion will land in Kalimdor and march to Mount Hyjal within a month at the latest, and there is not much time left for us to establish a defensive line." ”

"According to calculations, the four areas of Felwood Forest, Ashen Valley, Azhara, and Winterspring Valley will be the most likely offensive rocker for the demons!" Garrod spread out the topographic map of Kalimdor, spread it out on the table and showed it to the big guys, and at the same time confidently connected the four areas on the map, and said with a stern face.

"So before we can figure out the Demon's final choice of Breakthrough Zone, we're going to ...... Three weeks have passed since the alliance was formed, and the Kalimdor coalition is already operating at full speed, and the key areas where the demons may break through have been garrisoned, sentry posts and camps have been established. In particular, the sacred mountain of Hyjal has become a large construction site, and craftsmen of all ethnic groups are working day and night, racing against time to establish the last line of defense.

At the junction of the two valleys leading to the World Tree, and in front of the cliff in front of the World Tree, three huge camps with different styles have begun to take shape!

The choke points of the four designated areas of Garrod *Shadowsong in Felwood Forest, Ashenvale, Azhara, and Winterspring Valley are also full of Allied soldiers, and are equipped with beacons and outposts to communicate with each other. Although the forces were somewhat dispersed as a result, when the path of the demon's final breakthrough was determined, the coalition forces were able to quickly integrate and concentrate their forces.

As a time-traveler, Old Tang is of course familiar with the development of the "past life plot", and in his memory, Ash Valley and Felwood Forest are the breakthrough locations of the first batch of demons' final vanguard teams. But now because of Old Tang's butterfly wings, the battle situation of the Battle of Mount Hyjal has been tampered with by Old Tang beyond recognition:

The orcs did not clash with the Night Elves, and the Grey Valley did not become a battlefield; Orcs and humans didn't fight hard along the coastline; The Minotaurs, who have preserved most of their strength, help the orcs in all aspects, instead of being saved by the orcs as in "history" and the danger of extinction; Even the Kalimdor coalition was established ahead of schedule, with the support of blood elves and bear monsters......

Old Tang didn't dare to guarantee whether the course of the war would continue as he remembered, so he didn't say his "prediction" to interfere with Garrod's judgment, at least it's always good to be cautious!

However, Old Tang still made some crucial reminders vaguely, such as using the premise of the coalition forces to garrison various places, so that the bear monster contracted its defense and entered the Winter Spring Valley, so as not to be corrupted by the blood of the devil after the Felwood Forest was polluted by Gul'dan's skull, and the bear monster turned from an ally to an enemy like in his previous life......

And at this moment, in the dense forest of Stonetalon Mountain, Old Tang, King Sarufar, and the elven prince were standing solemnly, looking at the busy scene in front of them.

Thousands of minotaurs, orcs, and thousands of blood elven rangers who were urgently dispatched were navigating the dense forests and mountains to capture prey. There are also hundreds of orc warriors of the Dragonthroat Clan who are taming the prey captured by other warriors in the valley floor - the two-legged wyvern!

Although the coalition forces have a wide variety of races and mixed arms, with the efforts of everyone, the arms of various races can also complement each other's advantages. In terms of the strength of the ground legion alone, the coalition forces are already confident that they will wrestle with the Burning Legion!

But the coalition forces still have a weakness that cannot be ignored - the air force!

The coalition forces have 600,000 troops on the ground, but few in the air force.

The remaining more than 2,000 dragon eagle knights of the blood elves all rushed to Kalimdor; Theramore was able to barely assemble a thousand-rider Knights of the Storm of Dwarves and Griffins; The profound Night Elves are the only big dealers, and in addition to the more than 5,000 Horned Eagle Beast Knights, Cenarius has also recruited seven adult Chimera, a ninth-order magical beast that can compete with the Frost Dragon, from all over the world......

But even so, the air power of the coalition forces is still less than 10,000...... In the face of gargoyles, demons, and even frost dragons that threaten to overwhelm the world, the air power of the coalition is simply powerless. Even with the addition of thousands of Night Elf Raptor Druids......

As for the thousands of Harpies of the Blood Feather Tribe...... Old Tang didn't regard them as an air force at all, but a ground bombing force. Counting on them to compete with gargoyles, demons and the like for air supremacy? It's as unreliable as expecting a helicopter gunship to shoot down a fighter jet and thus gain air supremacy!

In the face of this dilemma, in addition to relying on the air suppression of the Blood Elf Ranger, Night Elf Archer, Troll Headhunter and Hunter Troops of various races, the only way for the coalition to continue to expand the size of the air force is to at least find suitable birds of prey and flying monsters......

It's a pity that the Minotaur Air Force is still poor and white at the moment, so the old Tang who has no tricks to think about has to help the orcs capture and tame the bipedal wyverns in Stoneclaw Mountain, as in the original book, and put the idea on these birds of prey wurms who can compete with the powerful griffins.

Fortunately, both the Minotaur Hunter and the Blood Elf Ranger are good hunters, plus there are thousands of orc warriors of the Dragonthroat Clan who have the traditional skills of taming dragons and beasts in the new tribe, and in three weeks, there are also three or four thousand bipedal wyverns that have been tamed. Although the cooperation between the Dragonroar Orc Knights and the Wyvern Mounts is not tacit, it has finally strengthened the air power of the coalition forces, which is better than nothing.

Just as Old Tang, Kael'thas, and King Sarufar were talking and laughing, a black spot appeared in the sky in the distance and was hurrying towards the direction where Old Tang was. A moment later, a Harpy messenger who was panting for rapid flight landed in front of Old Tang and urgently said a message that made the three of them look solemn:

"My lord, there is an urgent military situation in the gray valley!" Q
