Chapter 1242: The Second Expedition to the West
At the end of February of the 22nd year of the Dark Gate, it was originally a flood season in Zurgrab this season, and the heavy rainfall directly made every river in the troll city turbulent and terrifying. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info That's why the alliance army had nothing to do before.
Now, the water of the river suddenly looked like it had been in a dry year, and the trolls panicked at the continuous rain lines in the sky, and they ran to ask the priests of Haka.
The priest went to the high priesthood, and even alarmed Haka. The problem is that Hakka is the god of chaos, and this kind of in its eyes is not worth bothering it at all. In a fit of rage, it devoured several Troll Believers as sacrifices before it became angry.
As the days passed, the amount of water decreased.
A month later, the trolls who had been stuck in the depths of Zulghrab finally discovered the problem. A large amount of white material flowing down from the upstream silts up the various river channels. It also caused a large number of piranhas to die.
Crocodiles, an amphibious creature, have died a lot, and those who are alive are not much better, and most of them are dying. Troll hunters attempted to dissect the crocodile's carcass and found that the crocodile's lungs were filled with a grayish-white substance.
The trolls finally panicked.
On a hill near the main gate west of Zul Grab, Duke stood on the hill with a group of alliance powerhouses.
Watch as the water from Zulghrab flows through a newly built temporary dike, diverted through a former venture capital firm camp, and into Lake Naferiti. The alliance bigwigs are full of emotion.
No one thought that the river could be played like this.
The dwarves and gnomes, in particular, looked at Duke's back with a frenzy in their eyes.
Once upon a time, all steam technology was considered heretical on the continent and in the world at large. After all, Azeroth is a world of sword and magic.
Duke's birth changed all that.
Even the most demanding and conservative old nobles had to admit that the swords produced in a month by a large dwarven factory could supply the soldiers of an entire kingdom. The economic value of a train track is greater than that of 10,000 horse-drawn carriages.
Now, even rivers can be diverted, even lakes can be drained, and even natural moats can be diverted, what else can't be done with technology?
If it weren't for the weapons brought by technology, which could not defeat the most powerful magicians and all kinds of special powerhouses and monsters, maybe this would already be the world of 'steampunk' in Duke's mouth.
Magni and the other dwarves were amazed, and Magni asked Duke, "By the way, when did you become a water expert, and how can you be sure that you can silt up a river with enough cement?"
Duke pouted, of course he knew.
As an engineering university animal, he saw too many barbaric construction projects of the renovation team during his internship, such as the workers casually poured the leftover cement into the sewer pipe, and as a result, most of the sewers of the entire building were plugged.
It is true that the water will wash away the cement, but much of the heavier cement will still be deposited in the river and slowly silted up, forming a dammed lake similar to the one that can clog the valley and silt up the water by earthquakes or volcanic activity.
Now, Duke has used his engineering knowledge to divert most of the water from Zulghrab, and the result is that Zulghrab has no water to use, and the advance of the Alliance army will be smooth.
Duke nodded his temple: "Knowledge is power, and in the ten years of the Void, I read almost all of Karazan's books. There are a lot of ancient people, and even the knowledge of alien planets, that you guys have never had access to in your lifetime. ”
"Well, I don't care about the other books, the book on water conservancy gives us dwarves and gnomes a copy. The conditions are easy to say. ”
"Hmm. ”
Duke's finger was pointing, and everyone knew that where Duke's finger was, mountains and rivers would change with the will of mortals. In the legend, this is already a realm that can only be touched by gods, and this is what excites mortals the most.
When everything was accounted for, Duke patted Varian on the shoulder, "Alright, do as I say." Probably in the summer, a general assault on Haka's forces will be launched. ”
"Understood!" Varian nodded.
"The problem of trolls has plagued the previous kings of the Stormwind Kingdom for more than 2,000 years. Even if the scientific and technological civilization has advanced now, you should not expect to solve the problem of Zul Grabb in a short period of time in one step. Don't compare yourself to Amani Trolls. After all, behind the Amani troll is just a bunch of divine creatures with a bit of divinity, and behind Zurgrab's Gurarush troll is a real god, even if it is a third-rate evil god, it is a true god. ”
Reaffirming that his goal was to slaughter the gods, Varian still felt a rush of excitement ignite his veins.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you. I will take the main forces of the Lordaeron nations on an expedition to Silisus. Don't lose all the elite of our hometown!" Duke smiled.
"Don't worry, I'll be patient!" Varian assured.
For Haka, Duke is not cold.
After all, a third-rate evil god who is weaker than Ragnaros can't take Duke personally, as long as he follows Duke's method and kills the high-level sacrifices of Gulabash one by one, Haka's power will also be weakened. It's best to give Varian a practice.
Over there, because of Duke's strategy, Kel'thugad had to use the Scourge to fight against Angela's Zergmen. Now it's almost time to have a result.
Before, I knew that I was being cheated, after all, both sides played a real fire. It is impossible to say that without a grudge, it is impossible for the two sides to continue to join forces against the Alliance and the Horde in disguise as before.
But Duke knew that the situation could change at any time.
It's already a surprise that the two guys have spent so long.
"The Sky Breaker is dispatched - we are catching up with the main force of the alliance of the Western Expedition!"
As early as January, the main forces of the alliance had already begun their westward march.
This time, the attack on Silisus was prepared by a huge army, including 350,000 troops and 400,000 logistics troops. Of course, the so-called 400,000 logistics troops are actually mostly served by the military and civilians of Theramore.
The 350,000-strong army was divided into three parts.
The first is the Night Elf troops, who set out from the Feathermoon Fortress on the southwestern island of the Kalimdor continent, with a total strength of about 50,000, but all of them are elite sentinels and druids.
The second is the Theramore Army, before the Night Elves joined the Alliance, as the Alliance's bridgehead in Kalimdor, Theramore was far stronger than the original history. With Duke's intentional or unintentional refugee drainage and support, Theramore has become a huge military city-state with an army of 150,000 and 350,000 dependents.
This time, apart from leaving 20,000 troops behind, Theramore almost poured out.
