Chapter 1694 They Will Come Eventually

The battle reports in the past few days have made the leaders of the alliance both happy and lucky.

The Scourge has never been a dish that can be eaten casually.

On the contrary, the Scourge who shrunk most of the undead into Icecrown were terrifying.

The survivors gathered an army of hundreds of thousands, which already put a lot of pressure on logistics. It would be an understatement to say it was stressful, after all, almost all supplies were shipped from the Eastern Kingdom. Just talking about food, if Lordaeron and Alterac had not been transformed into mass production areas, the Kingdom of Stormwind alone would never be able to support such terrible logistical consumption.

But the Scourge was simply cheating when they fought.

Soldiers don't need to eat, drink, or sleep, and they don't even need a place to sleep. Any ice cave or even an ice crevice can be a hiding cave, as long as there is a way for the undead soldiers to crawl out.

Kill the living, cast a dark magic, and immediately replenish the troops on the spot.

A soldier becomes a soldier, a mage becomes a lich, a paladin becomes a death knight, it’s a one-to-one correspondence.

The same goes for puppets like gargoyles. As long as they still have magic power and a workshop, if they smash 10,000 of them today and another 10,000 in a week, they won't be able to kill them at all.

If it doesn't work, I'll hit more and more every minute.

What about the coalition forces?

A warrior, even a human being with the shortest life span, takes at least 16 years to produce a soldier. Not to mention elves, dwarves and gnomes with lower fertility rates and longer life cycles. Even after the Second Dark Portal War, all races have strongly encouraged childbirth, but you still have to grow up!

There was a time when the Alliance was very puzzled and even a little unhappy about Duke secretly accepting the Qiraji. After all, the Qiraji greatly affected the appearance of the city, and their level of civilization was quite low.

When the Qiraji's flying insects replaced griffins and hippogryphs as consumables in aerial combat, everyone had a completely different perception.

To some extent, the bugmen are more like the nemesis of the Scourge.

The completely different physiological structure allows the bugs to basically ignore the plagues of the Scourge, at least the plagues against the bugs have not yet been developed.

Insect people are not picky about their food either, as long as it is meat, they will be fine.

Duke tried ordering the bugs to eat the abominable flesh and found that the Qiraji were fine. I really don’t know what kind of transformation C’Thun made to them back then, making them almost invulnerable to all poisons.

Then came the air combat.

Air combat has always been cruel. Often, a prepared or unprepared moment of combat in the sky can mean the difference between life and death.

Either the gargoyles were chopped into pieces, or the flying insects were killed and fell to the ground.

After the bug-men fall to the ground, they are often smashed to pieces. If the Scourge Legion wants to resurrect, they can only resurrect a ball of dregs with no fighting power.

I didn't know before that the Qiraji's limbs, which were hard but not tough, would have miraculous effects. Now it seems that the bugmen are a bit like self-destruction soldiers. If they cannot kill the enemy, they will be destroyed cleanly, leaving no escape route for the enemy.

For a long time to come, Duke will still need bug-man troops to consume the gargoyles.

In the past, the Alliance used its powerful air force to destroy the insect swarm, but it was difficult to destroy the gargoyle army. In the final analysis, the Gargoyle's defense is higher, and it cannot be killed by a 40mm Bofors machine cannon. However, the Qiraji, with its low defense, can hit the body with one shot, which is basically enough.

However, in an aerial battle, maybe two insect men could fight off a gargoyle with their lives.

The bugs don't need money to get up early, and even if they all die, their morale will not be damaged. Even the bugs themselves don't care.

"Huh! Insect Man is really useful, but it's a bit too harmful to the environment." Duke smiled bitterly.

However, it’s not the alliance’s territory, so who will take care of it?

Perhaps, the Alliance and Horde will move here in the future, but at least not now.

The brutal war of attrition lasted from March to May.

Regardless of whether Arthas admits it or not, the Scourge has finally declined.

From the attack of millions of undead every day, it has become an attack every few days.

The coalition forces fought steadily, advancing trenches and artillery positions into the camp step by step. Everywhere he went, Alkafon must be asked to help solidify the ground. He couldn't even let the spider demon burrow into the ground to make a sneak attack.

No, in fact, Arthas did once gather a large number of spider demons to prepare to dig a huge tunnel and go around the rear of the alliance army, preparing to destroy the alliance supplies there.

Unfortunately, this group of miserable spider demons encountered the [Scions of Oro] who Duke specially transferred from Silithus. In front of the big bugs in the bunker, these spider demons are not enough to look at!

This safe strategy left Alsace with nothing to do.

By May 3, Alsace's control range was only to the southwest of the Icecap Glacier. There are only three outlying important places left, namely: Dark Cathedral, Dread Gate Koretha, and Malekaris Evil Castle.

On the Frozen Throne, Arthas looked down at the two powerful beings, one large and one small, exuding demigod fluctuations. Finally, his cold voice came from under the black full-face helmet: "As for the recent situation of the Scourge, , do you have any opinions?"

"Let me fight Duke Marcus again, as long as I can get back my Titan Rune..." Malygos gritted his teeth.

"My opinion is exactly the opposite. I think we should shrink. There is no point in holding on to the outer positions. Instead, we will lose the elite lich and death knights of the legion. Since the coalition forces are going to attack Icecrown Citadel no matter what, they might as well just Destroy the opponent's main force in the fortress." The Sun King said.

If it were the past, Alsace would have refused with his arrogant heart.

Because it means retreating, it means admitting that with more soldiers and generals, he will lose the overall situation.

However, there was no objection on the spot. Arthas said coldly: "Persuade me!"

At this time, the slap mark exuding dark energy on Anastrian's right face began to tremble due to the movement of his cheekbones: "It has been difficult for us to consume the coalition forces. Our troops lack breakthroughs. Ability, it is impossible to kill many people on the opponent's side, let alone replenish troops. What's more, outside Icecrown Citadel, even if Duke Marcus is killed, he still has a great chance of being resurrected. However, even if he is killed in Icecrown Citadel, He is a demigod. If he dies in front of the Frozen Throne, his soul will not be able to return to the planet Azeroth."

When the Sun King said this, Alsace's eyes lit up.

When the battle reaches this point, no one will be spared.

The coalition forces cannot defeat Icecrown Citadel and cannot destroy Alsace. Once they retreat, within a few years, the Scourge will be able to raise an army of over 100 million undead.

Hundreds of thousands of coalition forces cannot always guard this barren land. Besides Duke and the Aspect Dragon, which coalition strongman dares to guarantee that he will be able to defend Alsace's assault?
