Chapter 1997 The Prelude to the Ultimate War (Part 2)

Thirty thousand warships, this number is very unscientific.

Normally, unless Duke stuffs everyone in the alliance into the ship, he can only drive this number of warships.

After all, based on the alliance's technological level during World War II, a destroyer would require 200 people to operate it, and 350 people would be the standard configuration.

A main battleship often requires about 2,000 people.

But this is an unscientific fantasy world.

Aren’t there only a few Titans in the Pantheon?

People can build Titan creations!

Duke cheated.

Just like on the Alliance's Z-class destroyer, busy figures can be seen everywhere. If you take a closer look, it is not difficult to see that there are very few humans.

There are more mechanical dwarfs and cast-iron dwarves with metallic bodies on the ship.

Yes, these guys are the robots from Millon Workshop in Ulduulmi.

Mechanical gnomes with simple intelligence are capable of maintenance and other tasks. As long as the ship blueprints are input into their minds and given enough materials, they can complete tasks such as damage control.

The cast-iron dwarves with thick arms are the best laborers, and they can easily carry a cannonball or something. As long as you confirm their commander, any work such as transportation can be easily completed.

The only problem is recharging them.

After a destroyer has cut off a large number of unnecessary manpower, what it really needs intelligent races to do is cannon firing, sonar, radar, and command.

After drastic reduction, a 120-meter-long destroyer only needs a minimum of 56 living people. Oh, it doesn't have to be alive. It would be okay if they are the Forgotten.

The largest battleship like the Bismarck only requires 300 people.

This was completely unimaginable five years ago.

Cooperating with Ulduar, especially after Algalon opened up the guardian's authority, creating an army of mechanical gnomes that were like cannon fodder in Algalon's eyes was not a problem at all.

Over the years, Mimiron's workshop has been working at full capacity, and these are the results.

[Uduar* becomes human] Do you know?

As for shipbuilding... Do you also want to know about Titan Craft's 3D printed parts shipbuilding technology?

High-grade mines are mined directly in Northrend, the ores are almost refined locally, and flying battleships are produced locally. The flying battleships manufactured in Northrend's Mimiron workshop are far superior to the steel battleship bunkers on the Eastern Kingdom's mainland.

Later, except for Ironforge, all other major seaport cities in the Alliance switched to manufacturing surface ships. The main cities of the alliance in the interior mainly focus on building flying frigates and destroyers with relatively simple craft requirements.

A smile appeared on Duke's lips.

It's funny when you think about history. The Alliance and the Horde combined were able to land on the Broken Shore, with only a thousand or two thousand people at that time. Even if they were all elites like the Paladins of the Knights of the Silver Hand, it was not unusual for them to be wiped out by the attack of the Demon Sea.

Now...

Sorry, the alliance has the absolute upper hand in terms of military strength on the battlefield now!

The fleet here is not all of the Alliance, and certainly not all of the Burning Legion.

It doesn't matter how many billions of demons there are in the Burning Legion. There is a prerequisite. You can come over and talk about it.

A dozen Alliance single-propeller fighters first flew into the Broken Shore airspace.

These things are the P-51 Mustang fighter jets created by Duke. Duke Dark Portal came to power in 2015, and it took ten years for the alliance to climb the technology tree from the wooden warships of the old era to the era of large steel warships. Many technologies were missing or temporarily stuck.

It took another ten years for the unbalanced development of the military technology tree to reach the level equivalent to World War II on Earth.

It is not that the Alliance does not have higher-speed fighter jets, but those are not real jet fighters. They are modified using the elemental magic of the magic network, which consumes a lot of wind elements.

Good steel is used on the blade. Even though Duke now controls the four elements of Azeroth, he cannot use a large number of elements to speed up the fighter.

The speed of the current P-51 Mustang with a top speed of 700 kilometers per hour is definitely sufficient, and the focus is on breaking defenses.

The roar in the sky attracted Gul'dan's attention. He raised his head and looked towards the direction of the sound with the corners of his crooked eyes.

There were two aircraft in a group, and eight crews were arranged in a herringbone formation. This formation could not be a coincidence.

and……

"Huh? This speed is so fast!" Even though Gul'dan was promoted to a powerful lackey of the Burning Legion, in fact, his status is at most the same as a low-level Void Lord. If it weren't for the power given to him by Kil'jaeden, the demons next to him would definitely not care about him.

"Tch!" Gul'dan leaned on the skull staff like a crutch and took a hard sip. He had realized that the Alliance was definitely prepared.

The idea of ​​setting up a trap on the Broken Shore to trap the Alliance and Horde was shattered before it even started.

"Kill them!" Gul'dan raised his skull staff, and dozens of eredar warlocks immediately came to do the work.

As the elite of the Eredar clan, the level of Eredar wizards is quite astonishing. Coupled with the shadow energy escaping from the Tomb of Sargeras on the Broken Islands, it is even more powerful.

The Mustang fighter jet is indeed very powerful, it depends on who the opponent is. If the opponent is also on the technological side, it is a propeller fighter or something, which can defeat most of the Earth's World War II-level enemy aircraft.

But the things on the mysterious side are not something they can compete with.

The airborne elemental radar suddenly sounded an alarm, and most of the pilots were slow to react.

The shadow elements suddenly gathered in the sky, forming a sticky airspace. When the fighter plane crashed into it, it was like falling into the sea. The sudden change in density caused more than ten wild horses to be smashed to pieces on the spot.

Only the ace pilot flying behind could pull the lever to the extreme, allowing the high-speed fighter plane to fly in an arc with the maximum angle, and barely escaped the death trap.

that's enough.

They're here for reconnaissance.

"Pegasus 05 found the enemy, and it is the Burning Legion. There is a discrepancy between the coastline and the original map data, and it is now corrected to X..."

Nothing is more important than first-hand shoreline information.

At the end of the Dark Portal 2 battle, Gul'dan came to the Tomb of Sargeras in the Broken Isles to seek death. The Broken Islands have actually existed in the center of the Endless Sea for the past ten thousand years, but they are surrounded by a maelstrom. People inside can't get out, and people from outside can't get in.

Even if the alliance develops flying ships, it still cannot change this situation.

The terrifying elemental fluctuations brought about by the maelstrom form a hurricane, which can easily destroy air battleships and sea ships.

Gul'dan came here more than thirty years ago and lost his entire fleet.

But after he arrived, he used his evil power to raise part of the land that had sunk to the bottom of the sea. This is today's Broken Shore.

The Alliance is severely lacking in geographic data for the Broken Shore.

Without this, it would be impossible to determine how to shoot the various elements, and long-range bombing would be out of the question.

The Alliance obtained the most valuable first-hand information at the expense of the reconnaissance aircraft.
