Chapter 1573 Ancestral Dragon (Please Ask for Monthly Votes)

Most areas in Northrend, the northern region, are extremely cold.

Duke didn't know the conditions under which the Silver Northern Expedition organized the army in history. He only knew that even though he had made so many preparations for the battle in Northrend, all kinds of cheating situations still emerged one after another.

However, there are many soldiers in the alliance who know how to fight.

An old dwarf soldier taught the new recruits: "I tell you, the alliance commander Duke Marcus is the commander who knows the best soldiers. If it were before, you could only wear worn-out leather boots and wait until your toes turned black. Your toes will become necrotic and useless. Now you have animal skins imported from tribes and cotton boots made of cotton to protect your feet."

Cotton boots, cotton jackets, spiked shoes, snow tracks, army rations and hot soup that can be heated by pulling a cord. Duke even strictly ordered that the toilet must be connected to the barracks, because if soldiers leave the barracks to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, even if the toilet is five meters away, it is possible He froze to death outside because he couldn't find his way through the snowstorm.

All details reflect the alliance's meticulous preparations for this Northern Expedition.

Normally, if you sleep in this kind of ice and snow, even if you have a tent, many soldiers may never wake up the next morning.

Not dying on the battlefield, but dying in an unknown place, this is quite a blow to morale.

But since the advent of simple hot kang heads and new movable central heating, the non-combat losses of soldiers camping in the wild have basically dropped to single digits for each legion.

Varian led the Alliance army to attack Howling Fjord. In history, less than 10,000 people could reach Utgard Castle. It's not that the Alliance and the Horde don't want to invest more troops, but that the logistics can't keep up.

Now it's completely different.

The flying fortress opened the way to Naxxramas, and the Alliance forcibly landed on the shoals on the east and west sides. Then huge conveyor tracks were set up on the shoal. Diesel engines drove the tracks to transport boxes of military supplies to the Howling Fjord plateau, which was tens of meters high. Soldiers, heavy tanks and other ordnance were transported back and forth by large elevators.

Watching a group of soldiers burning the lower part of the diesel engine with a pre-prepared fire, Varian felt like he was in over his head.

He smiled bitterly: "Does Uncle Duke really have the ability to predict the future?"

Once upon a time, Valeera always acted as a cheerleader, encouraging Varian, saying that he could surpass Duke, but after getting along for a long time, Valeera couldn't say more: "Maybe..."

The Alliance has popularized diesel engines only in the past few years. Steam engines cannot operate in extremely cold weather, but they have been tested at least. But it’s really hard to estimate how a diesel engine would perform in a ghost place like Northrend.

After all, there are not many extremely cold areas on the Eastern Kingdom continent. Even the ice-covered Loch Modan or the former Alterac, the weather is only a few degrees below zero. No military adviser or staff member has ever suggested how to start a diesel engine that is completely sealed by ice when it is minus 40 degrees Celsius.

When problems arise, most Alliance legions are desperate. If we exclude the alliance's technological products, this means that we can only rely on the most primitive infantry and gryphon knights and other air forces to fight.

If we fight like this, the alliance will definitely suffer huge casualties.

Who knew that after sending the question, Duke replied within two minutes and asked them to set up a stove under the engine to bake.

It sounds ridiculous, but during World War II on earth, both the Soviet army and the German army did this in extremely cold weather. Otherwise, even if the soldiers smashed away the ice slag outside with a hammer, the inside would still be frozen into a lump of ice. , unable to move at all.

If you want to bake it, how far should you bake it?

Answer: "The ice has melted and the outer armor has started to turn black. Antifreeze oil will do the rest."

Simple violence, meaningful solution, that's it.

Everyone knows that Duke has never been in the snow in the first half of his life. Things that even the dwarves couldn't handle were done for him. Not only use fire to deal with frozen machines, but also antifreeze oil.

People have to go through thousands of experiments before they can come up with a better formula. Duke is better. This project has been established, and the result formula has been given over there. Just go ahead and do it for me.

The black technologies were smashed out one after another, making the dwarf and dwarf inventors dizzy.

Gelbin complained more than once that Duke would destroy all their scientists by doing this.

Duke shrugged: "The Burning Legion will come back in less than ten years, and there's nothing I can do about it! How about you make the Burning Legion late, and I give your scientists more time to practice?"

Gelbin had nothing to say.

With such powerful modern equipment, the armies on the east and west fronts were almost advancing while laying railroads. With overwhelming momentum, they would reach the foot of Utgard Castle in just over a week.

The army on the eastern front set up heavy artillery directly across the Ymiron Falls east of the castle, while the main force led by Varian on the western front set up artillery and at the same time lined up Saurfang Jr.'s orc infantry regiment.

This is both a good use and a deterrent.

The 155mm heavy artillery bombardment left the Vrykul boss King Ymiron's fortress riddled with holes in just a few minutes. A castle that is not reinforced by a magic protective circle is just a large target in the eyes of Alliance gunners.

The city that the Vrykul had spent ten centuries building was demolished by Alliance cannons in just a few minutes.

"Air defense troops prepare!" Varian raised high the [Selameni], which was composed of his two swords - the Shadow Tearer [Sharathor] and the Shadow Reaver [Eremeni].

As expected, huge Vrykul with half-giant blood continuously poured out from behind the damaged high wall of the castle. They spread their legs and swarmed towards the Alliance and Horde in a messy formation. coalition forces.

The Vrykul are loyal to their King Ymiron. Although the orcs always say that they are a race born for fighting, it seems that the Vrykul are more worthy of this title than the Vrykul.

If they were simply giant Vrykul, it would not be enough for the Alliance to take them so seriously. The real clan name of these Vrykul people is the Dragon Snatcher clan.

Among the most common proto-dragons, these beasts are different from their five-color guardian dragon relatives who are endowed with some power and high intelligence by the Titans. The proto-dragons have no magical physique and are slightly less intelligent. Strictly speaking, they are standard dragon beasts.

They do not have the long necks of their distant relatives, the guardian dragons, and their tails are shorter, but their heads are larger, and their mouths with strong jaws account for more than 40% of their heads. The wings are very powerful, but the front legs are almost completely degenerated. When not flying, the wings play a major role in supporting the body. The hind legs are thick and are the main tool for hunting. Compared with the guardian dragon clan, the entire body shape tends to be more streamlined to adapt to flight.

End of the month bird! Brothers and sisters who still have monthly votes, please vote for Baofeng!

There is good news announced in the past two days! I will explain it in a single chapter later.
