Chapter 1881: Northrend Defensive Battle (Part I)

"Discover a lot of earth elemental creatures!"

"The enemy is airdropping Earth Elemental Creature troops in a manner similar to artillery bombardment!"

"Two thousand, three thousand...... Five thousand...... It is impossible to count, but a rough estimate of the number is already more than 10,000. ”

"A report for help has come from the Dragon Sleep Temple!"

As the two largest bases in Northrend controlled by the Alliance, Utgard Castle and Dreadnought Fortress, each has a different function.

Located on the edge of the northerly tundra southwest of Northrend, the Dreadnought Fort is both an offshore fort close to shore and a deep-water port near the sea. Because of its open coastline, it is the Alliance's largest import and export port in Northland. By building a breakwater by enclosing the sea, it will become the seat of the alliance's North Sea Fleet.

A surface fleet of 181 destroyers, 40 cruisers, and 12 battleships, plus 44 flying warships in Zhiyuan County, located on the northern shore of the Dreadnought Fortress, formed a formidable mixed fleet.

Utgard Castle, located at the very centre of the Howling Fjord, southeast of Northrend, has been converted into an air base that is connected by the Daggard Bay waterway and is surrounded by mountains.

On weekdays, there is only a medium-sized fleet of flying birds, and the number of ships never exceeds a hundred. However, since the Coalition occupied Northrend, it was built to accommodate the Alliance's two standard main air fleets.

At the Throne Council at that time, the leaders of the alliance did not understand.

From a common sense point of view, there is no such thing as an enemy in Northrend. Two of the world's largest bunkers, the Temple of the Dragon's Sleep and Ulduar, are here. The Scourge Legion, once the only enemy that could be considered an enemy, has been wiped out, and even the current Lich King is his own.

Even if Duke only requires that the several air bases built around Utgard Castle have only berths and do not need to be equipped with too many supporting facilities, this still puzzles the alliance bosses.

After all, just leveling the land, paving roads, reserving fuel tanks, setting up warning areas, guard towers and other things still cost money, manpower and material resources.

Of course, Du Mouke already had his own halo of a god when he was not a demigod, and he repeatedly proved his foresight, which made the name of the fate peeper more and more resounding, but no one really objected.

Anyway, even the cost of building the base is also advanced by the Marcus family, and it will be deducted from the alliance's dues in the future.

Duke's words are here, if the base is not used, then this account will not need to be repaid by the alliance, even if it is sent by the Marcus family.

But everyone knows that Du never does loss-making business......

With the arrival of the new Maelstrom, both Utgard Castle and Dreadnought Fortress are the first line of battle!

Inside the Dreadnought Fortress, all kinds of sirens sounded in a ball, and the latest magic surveillance mirrors constantly sketched the outlines of the enemy.

"A thousand earth elemental creatures have been found at the bottom of the sea!" the monitor shouted.

"Never mind, that's the work of Vasqi's underwater troops. Muradin* Copperbeard was very calm: "Unless Vaschi sends a request for help, block the news over there." ”

"Understood!"

Immediately, new information arrived: "Three Nesario clones have been found, plus a group of Twilight Dragons - 800 adult dragons and 3000 baby dragons, and the number is still increasing." Distance, 32,000 kilometers!"

Muradin tugged at his well-groomed beard, "There's no dragons to cover us this time!" Muradin turned his head to the two magic mirrors, "Brian, my good brother, do you think we should take that thing out?"

Brian smiled and nodded: "Second brother, without the help of the Dragon Sleeping Temple this time, if he wantonly loses someone's griffin team, he will go crazy." ”

Kudran in the mirror image next to him made a straight face: "I'm just five thousand griffins, and it's ten to one when I fight together, and if you want to fight the old bottom of the brute hammer dwarves, you can say it directly!"

Muradin shrugged: "Then use it, anyway, Duke is not here, we have the final say." ”

"All listen to the order, switch to 'tungsten core armor-piercing bullets'!" The order was quickly conveyed layer by layer.

Whether it's the fleet, the gun emplacements of the Dreadnought Fortress, or the Naxxramas Flying Fortress just to the west of the Dreadnought Fortress, all the gunners are busy.

Even though both shells were placed nearby, they could be swapped out, and it would have been a bit of a scramble.

When the Twilight Dragons entered the 10,000-meter range of the two fortresses, thousands of artillery pieces roared almost simultaneously.

Thousands of cannonballs, because of the faint holy light contained in them, showed Ruili's golden thread as they streaked across the sky.

The trajectory of the cannonball was like a fireball sweeping through the sky at high speed, and the long tail flames dragged out were intertwined with each other, and the end quickly disappeared, and the front kept elongating. Bouquets after bunches, layer upon layer, are as beautiful as fireworks at the Winter Veil Festival.

Before the war, every Twilight Dragon was told that the human cannon was useless, and at most the unlucky ghosts with multiple shells in their bodies would hang up, and nothing else was going on, so it hurt a little.

But when a large number of cannonballs rained down on the dragon bodies of the Twilight Dragons, it immediately caused an effect beyond the imagination of both sides-

The cannonball, which was thought to be just a powerful toy, had the same appearance as before, but it seemed to have been injected with a completely different mysterious power, crushing the dragons' defenses that had not been effectively broken for more than 25,000 years in Azeroth.

The tungsten core armor-piercing bullet easily pierced the dragon scales and dragon skin, and after entering the muscle tissue, it seemed to have life and completely come to life. The shattered shrapnel churned one by one, and the purple dragon scales, dragon skin, and even the muscles were blown off by the explosion.

Although unless you hit the dragon's head, even if you hit the chest, there is no fatal result, but there are too many shells and too many shells.

The explosions continued to form an apocalyptic scene in the air.

Purple shards were splattered everywhere, and the filthy flesh formed a scene like rain.

Even the Alliance non-commissioned officers who were observing the results of the battle were almost stunned by the scene in front of them.

The explosion caused by the horrific salvo turned the entire three-kilometer-diameter space into a dead airspace. Originally, in order to avoid collisions, the distance between the Twilight Dragons was a bit scattered between them. Now it was even more scattered, and after a round of artillery salvo, a sieve-like flying array was exposed in front of the Alliance army.

"The three-headed Nesario clone is still alive, and the number of Twilight Dragons has been reduced to 29%!" the monitor immediately summarized the monitoring results.

Kudran pouted, "The Hammer Dwarves can take care of those little dragons." ”

"Come on, it's not to the point where you have to sacrifice. Brian grumbled.

The weakening of the role of mid-level magical beasts such as griffins, horned eagles, and dragon eagles on the battlefield is also due to the changes of the times in a sense.

With the Twilight Dragon as an opponent, this is too strong for a griffon. Basically, griffons can only team up to deal with the young dragon level, and even if they take their lives to fill it, they may not be successful.
