Chapter 1: The Great Army Assembles
Three months passed quickly, and the countdown to the restart cooldown of the Gates of Heaven was already in the final phase. There was only one day left, and at this time, Li Nan's Azeroth forces were basically gathered in the Red Rock Plateau base in Mogaolei.
And a large amount of supplies are also being transported here from the bases of various worlds through portals. Countless transport ships are constantly entering and exiting the base from various entrances and exits, and everyone is in a busy state.
Now the number of people gathered here has exceeded 10 million, and this is talking about the number of combatants. Of course, among these combatants, Li Nan's ship girls and battle goblins are not counted, but simply fighters formed by the natives of each world.
The first is the Minotaur, who are on the verge of extinction in World of Warcraft, because Li Nan intervened in the war between the Minotaur and the Centaur decades earlier, and now because of the equipment provided by Li Nan, the Minotaur has regained its original prosperity. The Bleak Lands, the Barren Lands, the Filas, and the Thousand Needles Stone Forest are all filled with the camps of the various Minotaur clans.
And through these years of reproduction, the number of minotaurs has exceeded the 50 million mark. Over the years, in addition to the annual hunting of centaurs, the minotaurs have been in the process of creating small minotaurs.
This time, Kane Bloodhoof, the big chief of the Minotaurs, heard that Li Nan needed support, so with a wave of his hand, he directly gave Li Nan a two-million-strong Minotaur Marine, as well as a one-million-strong mixed team of Minotaurs of various professions. All are traditional professionals of the Minotaur, warriors, hunters, druids, and shamans.
In addition to the Minotaurs, Li Nan also incorporated many native indigenous troops, such as centaur troops. These centaurs were all captured by the defeated army in the war with the centaurs over the years, and it was a long-standing tradition for Azeroth to take prisoners as slaves, so these centaurs were also incorporated into the army by Li Nan.
Although the centaurs are brutal or something, after all, they are creatures formed by the hybrid of two high-level bloodlines, and they are still able to communicate. The main reason why these centaurs have been living a life of raiding is that they reproduce too quickly, and they have no skills in food production, so they can only survive through raiding and war.
However, Li Nan's subordinates have a large amount of food, and it is not a problem to raise these centaurs at all. And these hungry centaurs, when Li Nan gave them a full meal, their reaction to Li Nan's solicitation was to bow down. What's wrong with the slaves, you see those centaur chiefs may not be able to eat enough, whoever gives them a full meal, they will follow whomever they want. In this way, Li Nan amassed a centaur army with a number of 20 million.
In addition, there are the Fish-Man troops, these fish-men with low IQ can still be used after training, and then they are dressed in special Marine equipment, so that a Fish-Man Marine unit is formed. Of course, given their low IQs, the main command is still aided by the intelligent AI in their helmets.
However, because it was only in the past two months to find a way to domesticate the fishmen, even though a large number of troops had been sent to catch the fishmen, because of the limited time, the current fish-man troops had only grown to a million scale.
Then there are the orc troops, all of whom were captured by Daisy and Lorna during their battle against the orcs in the swamp. After arriving in this world, Daisy and Lorna led a group of 10,000 Minotaur Marines to the Swamp to represent the Tyranid Empire's support for the human kingdom of the Eastern Kingdoms.
Although both sides are high-tech units that mainly use firearms, the latest version of Marine armor has been able to increase the level of use to 50. And those orcs are generally at the level of about level 35, so Daisy led the troops and captured a large number of orcs.
Originally, it was just intended to use these orcs as miners, but with the formation of troops, in the face of the swarm, no matter how many troops you have, you will be on the side that will be at a numerical disadvantage. Therefore, Dingyuan later proposed to subdue these orcs and use them as his own troops.
These captured orcs are very mixed, and there are people from various clans, after all, you can't identify the people of that clan on the battlefield. But it is not difficult to subdue them, and for the orc race, their most important thing is glory. And they have a tradition of gladiatorial fighting, and when you defeat him in a one-on-one duel, he will obey you.
So Li Nan asked the minotaurs to help, held a huge duel ceremony in the mine, defeated them again according to the orc tradition, and then incorporated this orc army of 300,000 people.
Then, there are the humans from the Marvel world, all of whom are various orphans that Nova has collected from all over the Marvel world. There are ordinary people, there are aliens, there are mutants, and even aliens.
And they have been taught since they were young, and most of them are students from several academies such as the Ghost Academy and are assigned to various teams after graduation. As a force, if you can't have the talents you have cultivated, do you still have to rely on recruitment? After all, it is not cultivated by oneself, and loyalty is difficult to guarantee.
And in this regard, in the world of Azeroth, they also made up a lot of such schools, and they also adopted those orphans from various races, and found potential people from them to cultivate.
After all, no matter what world or civilization, there are a huge number of people at the bottom, and no one will care about the life or death of this group, so there is an endless source of life. After all, Li Nan's main training is not the upper-level personnel, but the low-level troops and middle-level leaders, and these ordinary people are enough. And in the large number of base groups, there are also many outstanding people.
And even the immortal species of the Night Elves have many such groups, so Li Nan has also absorbed a lot of Night Elves from them. These personnel also form a million-strong guard with the humans of the Marvel world, and their mission is not to fight, but to protect Li Nan, after all, they are all students who have been brainwashed by their own schools, and loyalty is the most important thing. They are responsible for the innermost defense of the entire base. Of course, there was a final layer of defense behind them, which was the rear defense formed by Li Nan's shipwive.
The leaders of this guard are Daisy and Lorna, and at this time, the two of them are super masters of level 85, and they are the two of them with the highest level under Li Nan, except for the angel girl.
The main reason why they were able to raise their level so much in a short period of time was the gravitational rmbium that they traded from Fury. Li Nan knew about Hydra's World Destroyer plan, although he did not have the details of this plan, and he also had no contact with gravity.
But none of this matters, after all, the technicians in Li Nan's hands are a thousand or hundreds of years ahead of the hydra, and it is easy to analyze all kinds of data of gravity after obtaining the real thing. And the kind of enhanced cabin that even Hydra can make, Nova wants to create a more advanced, more functional enhanced version of the enhanced cabin, and there is no pressure at all.
And the whole transaction of Gravity Bullium was also very smooth, after confirming Li Nan's information and figuring out the situation of Gravity Centrium, Nick Fury asked Li Nan to prepare for the next day's transaction.
In the face of those advanced technologies, Nick Fury didn't talk nonsense with Ian Quinn at all. Although Ian Quinn is very good at hiding. Malta, with its stunning landscapes, beautiful coastline, and the most fascinating thing for the capitalists is its tax laws, and the fact that it has no agreement with S.H.I.E.L.D., means that S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel are not allowed to enter the country illegally, and there is no law enforcement here.
Therefore, even if he kidnapped the scientists of S.H.I.E.L.D., Ian Quinn in this place still didn't care, because S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't come in here to deal with him.
However, what he didn't expect was that five minutes after talking to Coulson on the phone, his information would be put on the desk of the director of the boiled egg.
"Malta? Did he think that a convention would be able to stop S.H.I.E.L.D.? Naive. Looking at this guy's information, the boiled egg smiled unconsciously. I didn't care about you before, and that's because you have no value. And now, 99.999% of the gravity that has been dug out of the earth is in your hands.
And S.H.I.E.L.D. needs gravity to trade with Li Nan, and now there is an excuse that can move you.
Ten minutes later, a battlecruiser suddenly appeared over the territory of Malta, over Ian Quinn's villa. Then a hundred meters of S.H.I.E.L.D. operatives wearing Marine power armor descended from the sky, and the operatives killed the bodyguards one by one before they could react, and stormed into the villa.
Five minutes later, one of the operatives walked out of the villa carrying a wooden box, surrounded by a large number of agents. The last one is Ian Quinn, who is being suppressed by the agents. The boiled egg is for the sake of his contribution to gravity, so that he can retire in the institution of S.H.I.E.L.D.
From Li Nan's contact with the boiled eggs to the time when the action team members put the gravity in the warehouse in the battlecruiser, the whole process took less than two to disappear.
As for the so-called conventions? The boiled egg said hehe, he won't do anything that violates international law. Do you think it would take ten minutes for a battlecruiser to reach Ian Quinn's villa from the S.H.I.E.L.D. base?
Don't be naïve, nine minutes and thirty seconds of this process were spent on Deputy Commissioner Hill entering the presidential residence in Malta with 10 ghost agents, and then asking him to sign his name on the convention.
And the most time-consuming process was when the hapless president was held to the head with ten rifles against his head, shaking his hands to sign the autograph, which took eight minutes. And when Deputy Chief Hill left with the ghost agent, the president found out that he had peed his pants.
And after getting these gravity powerhouses, Li Nan asked Daisy and Lorna to strengthen them. After all, after calculation, even if a person uses all the gravity and mium, it is impossible to raise her level to more than 100.
And if it fails to exceed the 100-level line, even if there is a difference of more than ten levels, the difference in combat effectiveness will not be too big. Therefore, Nova suggested that Daisy and Nona be strengthened at the same time, and then after the enhancement, the level of the two of them was increased to level 85.
Of course, only the level is raised, and their strength is gained through strengthening, and it takes a long time to adapt and exercise before they can turn these enhancements into their own strength.
At this time, Li Nan had also come to the base of the Hongyan Plateau, he looked at the data that Dingyuan had compiled for him, and at this time he knew that his subordinates had actually gathered this huge number of troops.
Dingyuan is the general flagship and commander of Li Nan's troops in this expedition to the Angel Nebula, and she can command all the armies assembled here, except for the Angel Girl and the Guards.
As for why there are two positions, mainly in the troops under Li Nan, the ship mother is separate from the rest of the army. If it was just the commander of the army, then Dingyuan would have no way to order the ship's mother. And the general flagship is to allow her to command all the ships under Li Nan's command.
Putting down the tablet in his hand, Li Nan couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. These ship women are so terrifying, it only took more than ten years to develop such a large number of troops. Li Nan felt that if he went back with this army now, he could easily do it if he conquered the earth.
And, most importantly, this force is just a force they have developed from the natives of the three worlds.
And there is another force, which is composed of ship girls and their battle goblins, and this force is the most powerful army under Li Nan.
And this Hongyun Plateau base, although it has undergone the transformation of space technology, Li Nan never thought that it could gather tens of millions of huge troops here. Therefore, the maximum capacity here is actually only more than a million, so the real garrison here is the Guards led by Daisy and Lorna.
As for the other troops, in order to accommodate them, Dingyuan had already taken out the old battlecruisers made by Li Nan from the warehouse, and then upgraded them. And this time, a total of 3,000 battle cruisers were mobilized, and with this number of fleets, it is estimated that the Tyranid Empire can easily defeat them.
And these fleets were already densely covered with the sky over Mogaure and the Barrens, and many local forces were frightened by this sudden appearance of the fleet, they did not expect that the Tyranid Empire actually had such a military force.
Even the Night Elves have strengthened their guard at the border between the two sides, and in addition to the elite Sentinel troops of Tyrande, Li Nan also saw another Night Elf force. A Guardian force composed of strong men above level 75, and their leader, Mavi Shadow Song, is as high as level 101.
She is the highest-level Night Elf Li Nan has ever seen, you must know that even the High Priestess of the Night Elves, Tyrande, her level is only level 100. However, although the level is lower than that of Mavi, Li Nan feels that in Azeroth, there should not be many people in Azeroth who have the Luna Railgun skill to defeat her, except for a small number of Titan Guardians and Elder Gods.
