1870 Can Fishmen Be Considered "Human"?
After all, the Burning Legion came from afar, and even if they prepared some reserve energy in advance, it was impossible for them to maintain a high-intensity battle for a long time without supplies.
After several encounters in Azeroth, Kil'Gardan had realized that this world was a tough nut to crack, and it was difficult for the demon's individual combat strength to break through Azeroth's strong defenses.
As such, the Night Well possessed by Surama is important to the Burning Legion on an expedition, and only when there is an adequate supply of energy can the high-tech weapons that Kil'Gardan has brought with him shine.
Sarjan knew this, too, and it was with this that he deliberately put on a good show for Elisandr, offering the Night Well to the Burning Legion, which lured the usually cautious Kil-Gardan to Azeroth, far away from Argus' lair.
In order to welcome Kil'Gardan's flagship into Azeroth, the reserve energy of the Night Well was temporarily depleted, and he had to fall into a state of lying on his stomach for about a week.
For the rest of the week, the Burning Legion must hold out with the energy reserves it carries...... Of course, it's best to be able to finalize the big picture before the Well of Night recovers.
Kil'Gardan was very cautious, and even though Elisandr had always behaved very deferentially, he was always suspicious and wary of the Children of the Night as an outsider.
But that doesn't hurt, when it comes to the critical moment, even if the energy-starved Burning Legion still wants to pretend to be X, the status quo will force the fraudsters to lower their arrogant heads.
The first phase of Sarjan's plan was simple and crude, and the Azeroth coalition would need to hold out for a week while the Burning Legion had sufficient energy reserves, and it was imperative to maintain the forward line of defense stationed in the Shattered Isles, so that the Burning Legion would not burn the war throughout Azeroth.
The air combat forces, led by the dragons, took on a lot of pressure in this plan, and they needed to do everything in their power to stop the legion warships from withdrawing from the battle circle guerrilla warfare.
Fortunately, with the long-range support of the naval fleet of Kurtiras, it has been restored...... Even the dragons, who had comprehensively surpassed their heyday in combat, had full confidence to complete this difficult task entrusted to the dragons by their leader.
Just like the barrage said before, with great power comes great responsibility.
Some people think that this sentence is suspected of moral kidnapping, but when the world is facing the critical moment of life and death, everyone needs to do their best to play the best role, and it is really that the more capable people need to shoulder more responsibilities.
If the knives are all on the neck and there are a large number of lying flat fish monsters thinking about how to selfishly take less responsibility and try to pass on this part of the responsibility to others, then it proves that the world is hopeless, or rather...... Not worth saving.
Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement, and it is the most unreliable to always expect others to help, and Salian is still more accustomed to taking the initiative to decide his own destiny in his own hands.
Besides, the dragon's front foot is full of confidence and Ulduar...... In other words, the Pantheon decoupling should naturally show the determination and will to protect the world without the support of the Titans through this important battle.
In Sarren's plan, as long as he survives the most difficult first week, the initiative to decide the outcome of this war will be transferred to Azeroth.
Originally, Rakish planned to go to the Asuna region to establish a new stronghold, but due to his "death before he could get out of the army", the legion was unable to complete this task before the main force led by Kilgadan arrived, laying some hidden dangers for the continued advance of the Burning Legion.
Under the wild onslaught of the Legion demons who were not afraid of death, the combined forces of Naga, Water Elemental, and Sea Giant, who had suffered heavy battle damage, temporarily retreated under the command of Garrod and took the initiative to give way to the passage.
Although this initial underwater battle seemed to be a loss for Azeroth's side, the price paid by the Burning Legion for the beachfront landing was really not small.
Not only the losses suffered in the sea, but the long-range bombardment of the Ballista carts of the Zandalar Golden Fleet also caused a lot of damage to the demon army on the ground.
Seeing that the passage from Broken Beach to Sulama had finally been secured, Kilkaldan, who had been closely monitoring the situation on the front line, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Your own family knows your own affairs.
As the commander-in-chief of the expedition, Kilgardan knew exactly what the Burning Legion's biggest weakness was when they were fighting away.
Although the Well of Night is not usable for the time being, as long as they ensure that Surama City is under the control of the Legion, they will have the confidence to fight a protracted war against Azeroth.
The Burning Legion has never been afraid of protracted battles, and as long as Sargeras continues to maintain minimal support for the front line, the dead demons can return to Argus and restore factory settings.
Kil'Gardan didn't believe that Azeroth could beat Argus's elite troops to the point where the resurrection cooldown was overdue, and that Azeroth's flesh and blood mortals could not resurrect as many times as demons, and one died one less than one.
In fact, it is precisely because of the problem of battle damage that Garrod ordered the underwater combat troops to retreat voluntarily.
In order to block the Burning Legion's range of activity around the Shattered Isles, the importance of underwater races such as the Naga is self-evident, and they cannot be overburdened in the first battle.
Fortunately, although the underwater coalition forces seem to have suffered a lot of trauma, in fact, the most casualties are the cannon fodder sent by Naga on his own initiative - the fish-man.
As we all know, the individual combat effectiveness of the fish-people is very low, and their biggest advantage is the large number of people.
Of the living aquatic races of Azeroth, the Fishmen are the weakest of the all, but they outnumber the other aquatic races combined.
Without him, he can only live.
A female fish-man can theoretically conceive once a year, and a single litter can give birth to at least a dozen fish eggs.
The growth cycle of the fish-people is much shorter than that of other intelligent races, and it only takes 5 years to mature.
As a result, the Fishmen are weak and die quickly, but they still have a strong presence in Azeroth due to the fact that the new population has always been able to catch up.
Many stupid netizens said that they had suffered the loss of the fish man when their level was still very low.
The combat power of a single fishman is not strong, and even in the game, it can be easily handled by players.
But fish-people are social creatures, and if you can't kill them before they escape, this fast-running ugly little monster will give you a huge "surprise" and give the player a little bit of a monster shock.
Years ago, Naga had mastered the knack of enslaving the Fishmen for their own use, and in Azhara's view, the Fishmen were the best cannon fodder to drain the Burning Legion's strength.
Anyway, they can be replenished quickly after they die, and a skilled Naga elite soldier often needs decades or even hundreds of years of training time, so it is self-evident which is more important.
Don't say anything inhumane, although the fish-man race has the word "human" in its name, in the mainstream perception of Azeroth, the generally intelligent fish-people are not intelligent species at all, and no one will treat them as "people", so there is no humane or inhumane problem.
With the Burning Legion finally making it to the city of Sulama to join the Children of the Night after paying a lot of losses, Salian and Garrod exchanged views on the future of the situation.
"You don't have to be impatient, just hold on to the line for a week."
Salaan patted Garrod on the shoulder with reassurance: "The command of the frontal battlefield is entirely in your hands, I will always monitor Kil'Gardan's movements, as long as he does not take action himself, I believe that the resilience of the Azeroths will once again leave the Burning Legion with a lesson that will last a lifetime." ”
Garrod nodded solemnly: "I will do my best, considering the future Argus expedition, I will use the fortifications as much as possible to reduce the consumption of troops of all races." ”
"As for the fraudster...... Garrod spread his hands helplessly, "I'm ashamed to say that at the moment when Malone and the Titan Guardians left early, only you can match his combat power." (End of chapter)
