Chapter 120: Sylvanas's Question
Even if the baroness has any thoughts in her heart, it is difficult to mention it now, after all, no matter how much the jasper lords who support you are willing to contribute their military vehicles, as local lords, they have nothing to say.
As for the treasures that can't be taken away, they are not out of the question, and now that the magic is so good, it is okay to bury the talents that can't be taken away, although there is a certain risk. But even if you take it away, there is still a risk of being robbed, in this turbulent and chaotic era, nothing can be 100% done. As is a very popular saying on earth, do your best and obey the destiny of heaven.
And they also believe that as long as people live, it is king. If all their citizens died and became undead, then they would no longer be lords, and in this case, even if they were exiled, at least they would still be lords, at least Zumashar would still belong to them in name.
Back then, Lothar brought Varian and countless refugees to Lordaeron, but in the end he didn't return to the Kingdom of Stormwind, and with the support of the countries of the Alliance, it quickly recovered, and now Stormwind City is definitely one of the most powerful forces in the human race.
Although Zumashar has been evacuated temporarily, after defeating the Scourge Legion, they may not have a chance to make a comeback, and after thinking about it, their thoughts will be clear, and they will not resist the matter of migration at all.
And in the midst of everyone's complicated feelings, the battle of Stratholme has completely begun.
The entire lake continued to boil, and the sound of the explosion was extremely dense, and the undead who paid the surface of the water were directly blown to pieces. But the placement of mines was limited after all, and the explosions lasted less than a quarter of an hour before they stopped.
By this time, the originally clear water of the lake had become turbid. The whole thing turned a pale green, and there was a rancid smell at the same time. But that's about it.
The plague formed a green aversion that could not be purified and disappeared into the air without being able to float at all. The statues in the territory no longer wield their effects all the time to purify the plague of the Jasper Collar. Even if you look closely at the turbid water, you will see who is fading in color, but with the increase in the number of undead, this change is not visible.
Finally, the mines in the lake have basically been detonated, and the first undead have also revealed their true colors, rows of bodies wrapped in chains, and the abomination with butcher knives on their bodies slowly emerges from the water.
Originally, Abomination was a biochemical product of the Scourge, and the material was a powerful monster stitched together from the corpses of different creatures. And because of the soaking of the lake and the white moonlight, it looks even more miserable and gloomy.
"I really didn't expect the undead to have such a means, they would have to fight each other so quickly, and the artillery of the jasper leader has no room for wielding it at all." Sylvanas didn't mean to be nervous at all, but teased: "It seems that what my brother-in-law is studying is not without a way to crack it, but it's normal, he is not omnipotent after all." Right, sister. ”
Over the years since Jasper Leader took over Stratholme, the city has been strengthened more than once with the improvement of equipment and technology. And as the most critical thing in city defense, artillery is naturally the most powerful thing.
There will be a large turret at intervals on the Jasper Collar Wall, and naturally large cannons are installed on it, although these huge guys are very powerful. But even under the current conditions, the machinery of the jasper collar can hardly bring such a big guy. So it can only be applied with city defense.
This large artillery also has a huge advantage, but also its disadvantage. That is, the range is long, and it can snipe the enemy at a long distance. If it is a normal siege, it will be a heavy price to pay if you want to touch the city walls. But this is also his shortcoming. Large artillery was hesitant on the ramparts, and was fixed by the battery. The adjustable distance is limited, and there is no way to deal with enemies at close and medium distances. The Scourge takes advantage of this feature.
The lord of the cave opened the lake and approached the city walls from under the lake. Whoever is in the lake is deeper, even if the large artillery shells fall, the damage caused is limited, not to mention, after approaching, the natural disaster has been out of the attack range of the large artillery.
And for things like bullets, the power of falling asleep is greatly reduced, and it also loses its effect. And it is precisely the undead who do not need to breathe, which has caused the current effect.
Aurelia didn't pay attention to Sylvanas's ridicule, but sternly ordered, "All obey the order and implement Defense Plan No. 2." ”
"Yes."
The herald directly turned on the telecommunication device, and the voice of Aurelia was transmitted throughout the army.
"The eldest lady ordered, the second defense plan was activated."
Hulala......
The walls of people that filled the walls were suddenly cleared by the soldiers, and Sylvanas saw many masked soldiers pushing small catapults, and the soldiers quickly placed barrels on the trebuchets.
WhewW......
The trebuchet shot quickly, and the barrels fell into the lake, and then exploded, and the trebuchet continued to throw the barrels downward, and as the barrels exploded, the lake below turned from pale green to pitch black, and a pungent smell wafted over the city walls.
"You still have Defense Plan 2?" Sylvanas couldn't understand Jasper Collar's style at all.
Aurelia kept her eyes on the bottom and said, "It's natural, there are many situations of war. According to different terrains, the natural defense methods are also different, and the city of Stratholme is very special and has such a natural barrier. Those in the General Staff have long analyzed that in some cases this natural lake may not be a means of exploitation by the enemy. So the defense plan is naturally not a set. ”
"Listen to my sister, there are more than two plans?" Sylvanas was even more curious,
Aurelia nodded and said, "War is fast-moving, and anything can happen. The staff is studying, and simulating the offensive and defensive battles of the Jasper Collar and various cities and cities is also a compulsory course for students of military schools, and I have to admit that there are still many military geniuses in the territory. They thought of a plan to attack the city, even Brad was amazed, and the students also proposed to attack Stratholme by using the lake water, and it was proven feasible, and Stratholme naturally took defensive measures. ”
"So there are still a lot of plans, so many plans are very powerful, but most of the soldiers are mobilized from other cities, how can it be possible to let the soldiers practice all the plans?"
Hearing Sylvanas's words, the people watching the light curtain were also very curious, it was also a military secret of the Jasper Collar. Gianna, in particular, stared at the light curtain tightly, for fear that the light curtain would block the sound inside.
"There are a lot of plans, but the implementation is not as complicated as you think." Of course, Aurelia knew that someone was watching them from thousands of miles away, but as she said, it was no secret at all in Jasper Collar: "Actually, the implementation plan only needs the local soldiers and security forces to grasp, and as for the cooperation of outsiders, it is not a problem." Some of the slogans and directives are universal. In the case of the main force guarding Stratholm now, they don't know what the plan is. But I decided to use a few schemes, and the senior officers knew about it, and a few simple instructions, such as forming these soldiers in a new queue and making way for these catapults, would perfectly carry out the plan. ”
Sylvanas was stunned and said, "Eldest sister, it seems that you are really leading towards Jasper, and you are still hiding it with such a good method." ”
Aurelia shook her head and said, "You're wrong, the situation in the kingdom is different from the Jasper Collar, this seems to be practiced in the Jasper Collar, but it may not be possible in the kingdom. ”
"Why can't it be?" Sylvanas said unconvinced.
Aurelia smiled and said, "Second sister, you are still so stubborn. Well, think about it, how many people in the kingdom will be okay to study military theories and simulate war-will battles. You also know the situation in the kingdom, those high-level people will definitely spend time on the arcane when they have time, even if most of our Windranger territory is also mage. It's no wonder that they're not crazy when they study military affairs, and the kingdom isn't something one or two people can talk about, do you think this kind of plan is possible? Also, these systems may not be suitable for our military. ”
"Then why can the jasper collar proceed so smoothly?"
Aurelia laughed but didn't say anything.
Seeing that she was still puzzled, the city lord of Stratholme interjected: "General, let me sue you." ”
"Okay, you say."
"Because of our lords."
"Huh?"
"You can't understand the thoughts of the Jasper Lord, the Lord is like a god in the minds of all the lords. Presumably, you should know that all the current achievements of the Jasper Domain were achieved by the lord. When the lord gives an order, everyone will try their best to complete it, rather than question or oppose it. The Elven Kingdom can't do that. ”
Sylvanas frowned, "No one can be perfect, how can you guarantee that your lord will not make a mistake, if he makes an unforgivable mistake, your territory will be ruined." But our kingdom will not. ”
The city lord shook his head and said, "But your assumption is not true, the Jade Collar is getting stronger and stronger now." I don't dare to guarantee that the lord will not make a mistake, not even the lord himself. But that's our strength and our weakness. The same goes for your elves, such as Stratholm under attack, and the lord can get soldiers to come out in a few hours. As for the elven kingdom, for example, if the Tower of Windranger is attacked, the Silver Moon Council will definitely be hyped up, first to discuss how many troops are appropriate, and then it will fight over which territory should produce what proportion of troops, so that the military plane will also be delayed. As the lord said, there is no perfect system at this stage, and any system has advantages and disadvantages. What we can do is try to take advantage of the points and avoid the shortcomings. ”
"The theories are set up, I want to see how much surprise the army led by Jade can bring me after so many years." …… (To be continued!)
