Chapter 1401 Cutoff

When the amount of water is large, the sandbags will be washed away as soon as they are thrown. The Chinese didn't just drive trucks filled with rocks in? Sometimes an entire boat loaded with stones would sink in the gap, blocking the dike.

Of course Duke would not say it out loud, but instead said extremely domineeringly: "Old-fashioned steam tanks are going to be eliminated anyway, so I suddenly thought of recycling them."

Duke made so much sense that Brian was speechless.

If iron ore is scarce, all scrap metal will be thrown into steel-making furnaces and recycled. As long as we have the manpower and material resources, it is not a problem to re-smelt a batch of high-grade iron ingots or even steel ingots.

This has a prerequisite - manpower and material resources.

Ironforge itself is a large mine. Although it has been dug for thousands of years, there is still no sign of it being exhausted.

In addition to the recent large quantities of metal ingots obtained from the tribe: copper mines from Durotar, iron mines from Stonetalon Mountains and Feralas, gold mines and mithril mines from Thousand Needles, all the ores are transported to Serra Molded, melted into metal ingots, transported across the sea, and delivered to Ironforge, the alliance's large factory.

Because ready-made metal ingots are better to use, the old steam tanks now made of low-grade iron plates have no place at all.

So when Duke made a suggestion: use hundreds of steam tanks that had been transported to the outside world in advance but could only barely move due to insufficient steam pressure and were completely useless, Brian was really shocked.

It would be better if Duke wasn't wearing this unfamiliar face now.

Brian also knew that Duke was in trouble, so he waved his hand and ordered the attack to begin.

The southern lake mouth of Anze Village is not an area that Vashqi focuses on defending.

After the soldiers of the Griffin Legion killed all the large lizards wandering near the mouth of the lake, the Alliance army began to place a large number of heavy iron horses in the waterway to act as defenses.

After the defense forces, including 5,000 human infantry, 500 elven archers, and 200 mages, formed a defense line, the human engineers drove rumbling steam tanks to throw themselves into the lake.

I have to say, this is really a technical job that requires a lot of courage.

Of course, you can use an iron rod to press the accelerator and let the tank continue to drive into the water and sink. In fact, there will be many situations before sinking.

Will it drive crookedly?

Could it be that the water in that area is too shallow and the steam tank is stuck?

The air pressure in the outside world is low, and various conditions may occur. These require the driver to use his or her own experience and skills to adjust.

Duke saw more than once that the tank soldiers from Stormwind Kingdom often waited for the tank to start sinking before jumping out of the cockpit like parkour in order to be accurate. Duke was horrified to see this.

One east and one west, working in two directions at the same time, greatly increasing efficiency.

In less than half an hour, a rough embankment appeared in the sight of the alliance soldiers.

"Wow -" enthusiastic cheers rang out from the engineering team.

"Kids, keep up the good work!" Brian shouted.

For this battle this time, Brian even tricked Varian into inspecting the eastern entrance of Zangarmarsh.

In fact, Vashj did take the bait. As Varian approached the water, the powerful Naga Banshee gave Varian an arrow.

This arrow was very strange. At first it looked like an extension of the reflection in the water, and it did not arouse anyone's alertness. By the time everyone reacted, the sharp arrow made of water was less than an inch away from Varian's cheek.

"No!" Valeera screamed and brandished the dagger.

She struck the end of the arrow.

Useless!

The feedback from the epic dagger made Valeela's heart instantly fall into the abyss.

The feel is no different from piercing the water in a pool with a dagger.

Something no one expected happened.

Ever since he entered the Outland, Varian, who had always presented himself as a violent warrior wielding two long swords, unexpectedly pulled out a large shield that looked like a mountain at lightning speed.

At the same moment, three golden illusory shields were spinning around Varian. This is the defensive warrior’s signature professional skill [Shield Wall]!

"Hmph——" Varian groaned.

Even at the cost of being shot through this epic shield, he still bought time to dodge. With an almost anti-joint tilt, Varian's entire body was almost parallel to the ground, narrowly avoiding the subsequent splash of the water arrow.

"Tch!" A disdainful soul voice came from the water.

Varian didn't come alone. As the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces in Outland, beside him, in addition to Valeera and Broll, there are also heroic-level powerhouses such as Solanlian and Lilas.

Unless Vashj was willing to give up her advantage in the water and go to land to fight Varian and others, she had no choice but to give up.

In fact, not long after they retreated, Vashchi received information from Anze Village.

"What? What a good plan!" A fierce light flashed on Vashchi's charming face: "Let the Tide Walker pass!"

On the other side, in the southern part of Anze Village, intense construction continues.

A temporary dam composed of four huge steam tanks sunk to the bottom in parallel has appeared in front of everyone. Based on tanks sunk into the water and filled with rocks, large quantities of sandbags were thrown north of the dam.

What was once a slightly turbulent flow has now become a small stream.

When the flow rate of the water slowed down slightly, Duke had cement poured into the water.

"Hehe! In half a day, even if Vashj kills himself, he won't be able to fix this dam." Brian smirked.

"Don't laugh too soon," Duke warned.

Never underestimate a strong and intelligent person.

As if in answer to Duke's guess, a little while ago, rumbles of footsteps were heard from the north of Anze Village.

"Huh?" Duke and Brian frowned at the same time.

The scout came: "Report! A giant suspected to be a deep sea giant was found, holding a huge anchor, heading towards the dam. Near him, there were hundreds of water elements and nearly a thousand male Nagas."

"There are many enemies, but we don't have many good players here." Brian curled his lips.

"I know." Duke looked into the distance expressionlessly.

The Griffin Legion soldiers responsible for guarding at the front implemented a three-shift rest system. Only the outermost two thousand people were in combat readiness. The other soldiers were allowed to rest, but they were all wearing armor and kept their weapons in their hands.

Since there was an enemy situation, they all took their positions and waited for the enemy's arrival.

But this battle was different from any of their previous battles. They are not standing on stable land, but on "isolated islands" like water towns.

Although the water is very shallow, Duke will never forget how terrifying the water attack in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is. The places where the soldiers stood were all reinforced with sandbags and were at least ten meters away from the water level.

During this period, metal components similar to anti-wave booms were even added to the front of the soldiers.

That's right, the soldiers' biggest enemy is not Naga, but the possible flood.
