"But it's up to me to choose this person!"

At the same time that Michaela shouted domineering words, the alliance personnel standing opposite him turned red on the spot and shouted, "Eh, me?"

Michaela spoke, "Don't be surprised, St. Celesteine, you are fully qualified to open the beetle's door by merit, so the Scepter of Quicksand is handed over to you."

With that, Michaela offered the quicksand scepter with both hands, and Celestine, who was stunned in place, didn't react, and relied on an elbow blow from his friend Katarina Grefax on the side to wake him up, and Celestine reached out to take the quicksand scepter from Michaela's hand.

Tolina also took this opportunity to jump out and add:

"Since Tanaris' farewell, Celestine and her team have traveled to Silishus to participate in the Battle of Angela as adventurers. As for Michaela choosing Celestein, of course it's because they're familiar, the kind you know."

Rather than give the Scepter to Halver, who in turn will give it to some unknown human nobleman to make a name for themselves, it is better to give the Scepter of Quicksand to someone worthy of (whom I know)!

Sending out the Scepter, Michaela walked back to Halver's side and deliberately asked, "I've already handed over the Scepter to the Alliance members, and the agreement is complete, you have no objections, right?"

In fact, according to the plan of the regent Berval, after Halver got the quicksand scepter, he would really give it to a nobleman from Stormwind, who would ring the gong to open the beetle door.

"So, Michaela did the right thing."

King Sarufar patted Saraka on the side, and the latter's reluctant expression also showed a smile.

As for Halver, he couldn't laugh anymore, and said in response to Michaela's slightly mocking words, "Michaela-sama, you still like to surprise people so much."

Halver's words seemed to say something, but he didn't say anything, and his tone was flat, as if he didn't care about Michaela's approach.

"Why didn't he get angry?"

Torina asked, "According to the traditional routine, after the villain in the online article is slapped in the face by the protagonist, he will become angry and lose his mind on the spot, and the protagonist will easily fight back. This thing doesn't play according to the routine."

Because Halver is no ordinary person, Michaela, who has fought with him in the Arathi Basin, knows very well that this person's military command ability is not below him. As a good commander, it is essential to stay calm and keep your face unchanged.

In this regard, Michaela didn't say much, after all, the military meeting after the welcome ceremony is the key!

That night, in the meeting room of the fortress, the Senarion Council, the Alliance and the Horde were all present.

The first to speak was none other than Marris, the leader of the forces of the Council of Cenarion and the commander who sat at the top of the long table: "Alright, the military council for the Battle of Angela begins now."

The tribal military representatives attending this meeting were none other than King Sarufar and the old general Saraka sitting on the left side of the long table, and on the right were the senior commander of the alliance side, Halver, and Marshal Bruwal, from the dwarves of Ironforge.

As for Michaela, he was powerful, not only as the head of the Council of Cenarion, but also as a tribal overseer, and even as a mortal chosen by the bronze dragon, so he sat at the bottom of the long table.

The real war is not when the army lines up and then rushes up and fights. In fact, the war began long before the start of the war between the two sides.

"Ha, Michaela right, you kid dare to do it, Halver's kid has been talking about you behind your back."

Bruwall was as bold and straightforward as the other dwarves, not caring about the faces of his colleagues on the side, and directly telling all the ugly things about Halver. Obviously, the dwarves also don't like the way the Quicksand Staff bearers are distributed among humans, and Michaela's behavior is to his liking.

"Alright, Blevor, the Quicksand Scepter Bearer has been decided, and we're here today to discuss when the door opens."

Halver remained calm, and said, "I'm sorry, Commander Marlis, but my companion has a bit of a big mouth and doesn't guard the door too much."

Bruwal "cut",

Seems to blame Halver.

Halver still didn't care, as he had already set his eyes on Michaela, "Michaela-sama, did the bronze dragon tell you how much time we have when you came back from the Cave of Time?"

Good question!

Michaela immediately replied, "One year."

Halver: "A year?"

Michaela nodded in confirmation, "One year!"

Time is a very important thing for war, it determines the way of war, whether it is a blitzkrieg or a protracted war.

"A year is neither long nor short."

As the commander of the coalition forces, King Sarufar spoke, "At least the supplies we have hoarded are enough for a year."

Adequate logistical preparation is good news.

"So, what happens in a year?" Marlis asked.

Michaela also replied truthfully, "According to the Bronze Dragon, a meteor will hit Azeroth and shake the whole world, and then, no matter whether the Beetle Gate is opened or not, no matter how far the war goes, the Old Gods will break free from the seal and destroy the world."

"Is that ......?"

Marris thought for a moment and said, "Then we must open the door of the beetles tomorrow and fight the insects."

"Haha, well, I've wanted those bugs to know our Ironforge hospitality!" Dwarf Blewall is so straightforward.

"No!"

However, it was Halver who was the first to object: "I don't think we should open the door of the beetle right away."

Bruver let out a "ha" and asked, "Halver, are you trying to waste your time?" The gate won't open, and even though the worms won't get out, we won't be able to kill them."

"No, I think Halver is right."

Michaela agrees with Halver's suggestion: "We need at least one to two weeks to prepare."

"Michaela, what a hero sees."

Hearing this, Halver raised his right eyebrow slightly, smiled on his face, and gave his reasons:

"Although the beetle gate has not yet been opened, I believe that the worms inside know that we have assembled an army outside, so if we rush to open the door, the worms inside will definitely kill us immediately and give us a dismount. We need to plan and respond, and we can't open the door blindly."

"Well, Halver, you're saying that."

As the commander of the coalition forces, King Sarufar first agreed with the alliance side, then turned to look at Michaela, who was a member of the tribe, and asked:

"So, Michaela, why do you think we need a week or two to prepare?"

"First I want to be sure of one thing."

Michaela looked at Maris and asked, "If we open the gate, will the worms have any other way out than the gate?" Like drilling holes in the ground or something?"

"Impossible!"

"From what I know," Marris assured, "the entire wall of beetles and the gate are actually Angela's seals, and opening the gate is only a hole in the seal, through which the wormmen can and can only leave."

"Good!"

Michaela raised her right hand and tapped the table and said, "During my time back in Silisus, I've been thinking about tactics against the bugs, would you like to hear my advice?"

It stands to reason that the person who spoke at this time should be King Sarufar, after all, as the commander of the coalition forces, he has the power to make the final decision. Surprisingly, however, the first to speak, before King Sarufar, to be precise, was none other than Michaela's former opponent, Halver:

"Of course, Michaela, I'd love to hear about your plans."

Michaela glanced at the other party and spoke:

"Of course, it's to bring smiles to the other party's face with sunny tactics."

The above is what Tolina said, and what Michaela really said was: "Since the exit of the other party can only go through the gate, then we will build a large number of forts at the gate

and fortifications, as long as they dare to go out, we will use these forts and fortifications to knock them back!"

Torina concluded, "Fortress riding face for short, that is, urbanization!"

"Build a fortress at the gate."

Halver raised his right hand and stroked the beard on his chin, "Michaela, you can give me something new every time."

As Halver finished speaking, King Sarufar, who finally caught the opportunity to speak, immediately seized the opportunity to make a decision: "Very well, Michaela will carry out this plan, after all, we have the best craftsmen."

As he spoke, the eyes of everyone present turned to the dwarven marshal Bruvor, the dwarven forging technique was famous throughout Azeroth.

"Of course, building forts and fortifications is what we dwarves do best."

Bruver turned to Commander Marris and asked, "I heard you have a spell that can condense sand into bricks, so hurry up and make bricks."

"No problem." Commander Maris nodded, "Silisus is full of sand, as much as you want."

"Well, in that case, we'll be able to block the first wave of the other party's impact after opening the door."

However, King Sarufar's next sentence suddenly changed: "But it's only the first wave. Suppose that we relied on fortresses and fortifications and successfully resisted the first wave of the Zerg's onslaught, what would they do next? Do you continue to hit the fortress with your head? I don't think so, what do you think?"

As the commander of the coalition forces, King Sarufar will not change careers independently, and knowing how to listen to other people's ideas is also the quality of a good general.

The first to speak was Halver: "I think that after the first wave of the Zerg is repulsed, they will immediately choose to withdraw to Angela and turn the offense into defense."

Reason, Halver did not say, but everyone present knew that the answer was time!

For Angela's zergs, they don't need to defeat the alliance and the Horde's coalition, as long as they hold out for a year, and when that future meteor falls to the ground, Cthun will be able to break free from the seal and kill into the present world.

An ancient god who can exert full power has long surpassed the upper limit of what mortals can fight against, not to mention the alliance and the alliance of the horde, I am afraid that the whole of Azeroth will have to play out.

Michaela very much agrees with Halver in her heart, so when the war enters the second phase with the end of the first wave of attacks by the Zerg, the coalition forces must take the initiative to attack the deepest part of Angela and directly kill Cthun, who has not yet broken free from the seal, in order to ensure the final victory.

So, the question is, how many troops and how many logistics the Angela Worms have, and to put it more bluntly, how long can they hold out.
