Chapter 1688 Incomparable
Ten years ago, when Anastrian led the remnants of the Forsaken who were beaten into dogs and left Lordaeron, where were the flying battleships?
The Alliance Air Force is a raptor dominated by gryphons.
Therefore, the location of the new undercity was chosen in Frostwhisper Canyon, which has a disgusting terrain.
Coming overland, normally one would first pass by Timbermaw Fortress and have a friendly exchange with the ferocious Timbermaw Furbolg, and then follow the gentlest road at the bottom of the valley, all the way east, bypassing Everlook Town, and follow The frozen Chimera played games on the road, played games with an army of blue dragons, and was beaten to death by wandering snowmen before finally reaching the Frostwhisper Canyon, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
In the Winter Spring Valley, where the temperature is often tens of degrees below zero and the terrain is complex, tanks, vehicles and artillery cannot be used.
If you want to come in, use infantry to pile up lives.
This is how it should be.
Unfortunately, the emergence of flying battleships broke all old military common sense.
Why don't the coalition forces go to Timbermaw Fortress to make a big circle for you?
Brother flew directly over the mountains from Azshara.
Originally, flying a spaceship in the mountains was quite risky, because the closer to the mountains, the strong winds passing through the mountains or canyons, and the resulting air turbulence, could easily cause the spacecraft to lose control and crash.
However, the alliance has Queen Xi!
As the demigod of wind, although Sylvanas cannot summon strong winds and double the speed of the entire fleet, it would be easy and comfortable for her to sense the wind direction and speed and guide the fleet on the most accurate route. thing.
After Thrall led the warriors of the Frostwolf clan onto the transport ship, only four hours later, the coalition fleet arrived over the Frostwhisper Canyon.
The icy wind was howling, and the chill was like a knife scraping my face.
Riding on the wyvern, Thrall was thoughtful, feeling as if he had returned to more than ten years ago, where he found his lost fellow members of the Frostwolf clan in the hidden valleys of the Alterac Mountains.
Very easily, Thrall took Vol'jin and his personal guards to find the spaceship where Sylvanas was.
It was the largest battleship in the fleet.
It is not a battleship of any standard in the alliance. It is a gift specially given by Duke to his lover. Just the decorations on this ship cost ten times the cost of gold coins than the entire cost of an ordinary battleship.
It's so beautiful that it's almost gorgeous, which is a typical elf style.
Although the blood elves were born out of the high elves, in fact many things are still the same.
The golden ship paint is mostly made of curved fiery red hollow metal fittings. The huge propeller is covered by flying wing-shaped decorations. From a distance, it looks like a pair of unfolded dragon eagle wings. It is really cool. What a saucy bag.
Even if you look at it from three or five kilometers away, you will never be mistaken.
The Alliance has already made great use of flying battleships, while the Horde's flying battleships have just started. In fact, the tribe now has several flying battleships, which are obsolete models that the alliance does not want.
The tribe itself owes a huge debt to the Alliance and still cannot afford to pay it back. Only the Bilgewater Cartel bought it and copied it.
The results of imitation are very bad. Due to the lack of industrial foundation, many spare parts can only be polished by hand by goblin craftsmen.
Goblins are notoriously sloppy when it comes to inventions and work. It obviously looks like the same thing, but in actual use it is completely different.
Several lift-off tests ended in failure, and three imitation flying battleships crashed.
It doesn't matter whether it's a good imitation or not.
This group of twitchy goblins will seek death and turn a good ship into a bad ship through one overhaul. When Wo'jin shamelessly asked a dwarf craftsman to inspect it, discovered the problem and reported it to Wo'jin, the goblins refused to admit it, making Wo'jin half-dead angry.
As a result, the only flying battleship available to the entire tribe was one, which was parked in Orgrimmar.
The goblins are not without their contribution. At least those guys came up with a goblin airship. That thing is an improved version of the Goblin hot air balloon from more than 20 years ago. Although the failure rate of each voyage is constant at 100% and the crash rate is 20%, after Thrall restricted the flying height of the goblin airship to no more than 20 meters above the ground, there were not many deaths. It temporarily meets the needs of long-distance flights.
However, people are more infuriating than others!
Why are the gnomes of the Alliance so much more reliable than the goblins of the Horde?
While having some random thoughts, Thrall and his party flew to Queen Xi's flagship [Windrunner].
In a sense, the Windrunner is a combination of a space carrier and a gunboat.
Different from the Alliance's existing flying battleships, the entire upper deck of the Windrunner has been cleared. The front half is a flat flight deck with six ramp entrances toward the stern for birds to enter and exit. The second half is the landing area. In addition to normal landings, there are also several huge fishing net-like things that can be bounced up. The inspiration comes from the hooks used by aircraft carriers to quickly stop aircrafts that a traveler once saw.
The middle deck still has medium-sized artillery with a firing range of only 180 degrees, and a hemispherical cover surrounding the entire spacecraft. Those covers are actually magic cannons. Compared with kinetic artillery that uses gunpowder, magic cannons are no less powerful. Unfortunately, due to the escape of elements, the range of magic cannons is shorter. In contrast, magic cannons have little recoil.
Only under the ship are there a few triple-mounted 283mm kinetic energy naval guns, which are of pod design.
Looking at the alliance's ever-changing new equipment, Thrall could only feel envious. The difference is so far that I can't even be jealous.
The wyvern flapped its wings and landed on the flight deck. Thrall jumped down from above and saw a relatively familiar Elf General Halduron Brightwing.
"Her Majesty is waiting for you on the bridge. Please follow me."
"Okay." Thrall greeted, and Vol'jin and his guards followed.
Perhaps it is because every flagship needs to conduct multi-racial joint operations. The gate where the bridge is located is quite large, with a height of three and a half meters, and ordinary tauren can easily enter it.
Thrall opened the door wide and quickly saw two elves pointing around a three-dimensional terrain map.
"Thall, we need detailed information about the new undercity. The more detailed the better. Duke has sent a big guy. If we are lucky, this thing can save us thousands of deaths."
Thrall and Vol'jin looked at each other, and they both sighed at the same time.
After the Undercity was destroyed, the Forgotten people simply fell into a state of madness. The defense of the New Undercity is even more strenuous. The winding underground passages can be attacked normally, but no matter how many lives are taken, it will not be enough.
However, the betrayer must pay the price, otherwise anyone can betray him in the future.
Precisely because the tribe had to severely punish the traitors and did not want to pay too many elite costs, there was room for the Alliance to intervene.
Wo'jin stepped forward: "The core area of the New Undercity is located 300 feet deep under Frostwhisper Canyon..."
