Invincible Chapter 610
Some people disagree with the outcome of the Battle of Beiliu Fort.
The biggest reason for objection is that the Volunteers consumed a large amount of the combat power of the Scourge Corps Tyrannus, the Abomination Corps was almost wiped out, and the two most numerous cannon fodder soldiers, ghouls and skeletons, also lost 70% above.
The soldiers have lost so much, and they have not been able to conquer Beiliu Fort. Is this also called winning?
The point of view that is directly opposite to this statement is to grasp such a reason: Scourge is different from conventional troops. To deal with them, ordinary death cannot be regarded as death, but can only be said to be damaged, which can be repaired. Complete destruction can truly reduce its staff.
In the Battle of Beiliu Fort, with the active retreat of the Volunteers, the big battlefield was handed over to the Scourge.
Of course, due to the high discipline and tactics of the Volunteer Army, they did not leave any spoils for the Scourge Army, but the Scourge Army still managed to recover most of the remains of the abominations and ghouls, as well as the bones that were still usable.
The abomination itself is a suture monster, and ghouls can also be resurrected with the alchemy of the undead system. The bones are simpler, and the psychic masters can reassemble a qualified skeleton from a large pile of bones by chanting a spell. body, the rest is to instill the seeds of evil souls condensed by negative emotions.
Therefore, relevant experts said that the natural disaster army who calmly cleaned up the battlefield can at least reduce the loss of combat power by half.
In such a comparison, it seems that the Scourge lost more. After all, there has never been annihilation of personnel above the team level on the Volunteer Army, and the loss of personnel can be said to be minimal.
However, some people have said that the measurement of winning or losing should be based on a comprehensive look, not just the loss of personnel.
In the Battle of Beiliu Fort, the biggest loss of the Volunteers was not personnel, but the huge consumption of military supplies, and this shortcoming was discovered by the Scourge. As a result, for quite a long time afterwards, due to the problem of supplies, I couldn't do much.
On the other hand, the Scourge Army, even though Beiliu Fort suffered a severe blow to their heads, they were considered to have completely retreated. However, the harvesting of Lordaeron's great cemetery was successful. Even the souls of Terenas' wife and Alsace's mother were cut away. One can imagine the harvest.
Well, it's pretty disgusting what happened.
Fundamentally speaking, the world of Azeroth, like the world of the abyss, does not have a qualified underworld hell, which makes it prone to such mistakes.
From this perspective, the spiritism of the Cursed Sect can be said to follow the trend and take advantage of the time.
From a practical point of view,
Kane repeatedly reminded Terenas and the lords of the Kingdom of Lordaeron through the mouths of the Templars and the priests, but it was in vain...
The most embarrassing thing for Kane is that the Templars and priests will be asked by the lord and even the local people: "We believe in the Holy Light and are very pious. Can the Holy Light send us a complete blessing and bless the dead to rest in peace?" ?”
The truth is, no.
Because the relevant system has not yet been established.
In addition, he is a fake after all, so it would be too difficult for him to build a bright and pure land like DND Universe Heaven Mountain. And if the Black Abyss is established, he still doesn't have the ability to use it to attract believers in the Holy Light.
That's his embarrassment.
Unfortunately, this time it was poked by the Scourge.
Kane once wondered if there was an Eternal Dragon helping the Scourge, otherwise, why would the opponent be able to hit his weakness one after another, and at the same time effectively resist his raid puppets going straight to the lair to check the water meter?
As for the fact that there were traitors inside, he hadn't thought about it. He has faith in his system. In the face of a strong system and high standards of execution, even if there are some clues, they can be detected in time.
Just after dawn, Kane appeared in Beiliu Castle under the protection of the Red Banner Guards.
The most special feature of the Red Banner Guard is that the red flag is used as the cape, and the end is a swallowtail, which represents knights, which means that all guard members are knights who can stand alone.
This guard is a gift from Solas to Kane. It has a lot of meaning. Now it is the crown prince's bodyguard, and in the future it will be the king's bodyguard.
There is nothing to say about the location of Beiliubao. The north and south are stretched mountains. It seems inappropriate to say that it is a valley, because the narrowest point between the two mountains is more than 70 kilometers apart.
Such a wide area directly leading to the coastline, if it were placed on the earth, there would be no problem in the birth of a city with a population of over ten million.
But now, they can only choose a location to build a fortress between the north and south mountain ranges. The purpose is naturally to restrain the enemy army from the sea from driving straight in. After all, from here, it is completely possible to go straight to the flank of the King City of Lordaeron.
There has been no defensive force here. It's not that people in this era have backward strategic planning and cannot see the hidden dangers here. But it is because the land is vast and sparsely populated. In a place like this, it is inappropriate to put too many people, and it is not enough to have too few people. Although human civilization has risen, it is far from the level of occupying territory everywhere. It is useless to dominate Ah, I can't digest it, and the result is that I am overwhelmed.
So when the volunteers came here, it was basically a wilderness. There were two natural villages. Each village had no more than 20 households. There is no power to protect them, and life is not easy without exorbitant taxes.
Beiliu Fort was built on a hill.
The difference from ordinary fortresses is that people cleverly use the mountain to build castles, and they don't pay much attention to the layout of the castle.
Kane's army is more decent, and its civil construction ability is also strong. With a boldness that changed the world, it basically cut down the mountain without its original appearance, and then built an orderly fortress, which is symmetrical about the central axis and faces south. Pay attention to all.
When Kane arrived, he saw a scene of construction in full swing. It was as if the battle a few hours ago was nothing but a dream.
The power of mechanical equipment and the power of magic represented by geomancers and shapers complement each other on the large construction site, which has a unique aesthetic feeling of labor. It also looks very lively.
Kane also saw local people in a corner of the construction site, and asked the staff who accompanied him on the inspection to know that they were victims of the war not long ago, and the battlefield included their homes.
Kane sympathizes with these people and understands their difficulty. As a relatively vulnerable group, they are often the most vulnerable and the first to be injured.
But he still pointed out that although the law also takes human feelings into account, the army is not a good place. In this situation, even if these refugees don’t want to be raised for nothing, and want to contribute, they should split up a little bit, and it is taboo to work together Life.
Kane said in his heart: "This is not the people's soldiers. The army and the people are fish and water. There is no ideological soil at all. When they are mixed together, the harm outweighs the benefits."
So it didn't take long for the locals to get a new notice. Next, they would be arranged to build their new homes instead of doing what they could during the fortress construction process.
After presiding over the opening ceremony of the large teleportation circle, Kane also visited the battlefield.
In fact, there is nothing to watch on the battlefield. Yesterday's night battle was not a conventional war, and there was basically no blood to shed, so there was little left of the cruel taste, but the cold and desolate mood and the piercing killing spirit still remained. , In addition, the magic power of disorder will have a long-term impact on the ecology here, and it is estimated that it will not be fully restored until next autumn.
One of the commanders last night gave Kane some pointers and introduced some details. For example, there were no flying units on the Scourge side last night. A small number of gargoyles are all playing the role of heralds.
In addition, on the battlefield last night, the Meat Grinder, the siege unit that the Scourge was quite proud of, was not seen. That weird magic machine left a very deep impression on people, and it also showed its role in a series of battles in Dalong District.
Without siege weapons, without flying soldiers, and relying on infantry to attack Beiliu Fort, Kane was really confused about what the Scourge's military intentions were.
If he doesn't understand, he can only put it aside for the time being. He still needs to inspect the wounded and sick battalion, maintenance station, and armament depot. After all, he is the supreme commander of this army. It would be too shameful for him to be absent during the battle and show his face after the battle.
Then came the new news.
First, there was something wrong with the great cemetery north of Brill.
Brill is a satellite town of the King City of Lordaeron, and this town was developed mainly by the funeral business.
Because when the King City of Lordaeron was planned and built, it was to build a magnificent palace-style city (imitating the model of Silvermoon City), and facilities such as the cemetery were placed outside.
Brill was born immediately.
For more than a thousand years, the Royal City of Lordaeron has undergone several expansions and transformations, and Brill has also developed from a small town to a major town today. It is even busier than Wangcheng, because it is a hub on the King's Road, and unlike Wangcheng, the security checks are strict and the procedures are complicated.
Seeing that there was a problem with the Brill Cemetery, Kane realized that the Scourge had plundered a lot of resources this time.
The second big news is that the industrial area of Garin City has been hit by the flying combat power of the Scourge.
This wave of attack was not long ago, not at night, but in the early morning.
If it's just this gimmick, it's nothing at all.
But the Scourge deployed the floating fortress this time.
What is even more surprising is that, if there is no mistake in the check, this floating fortress is the sister ship of Naxxramas, Naxxanar, which was originally docked at the holy city of Enqira.
Enqila was originally the holy city of the Azronelub people. After the nerubians were completely defeated, it became the fortress for the Scourge to guard the junction of the Borean Tundra and Dragonbone Wilderness. It is also a large manufacturing plant.
All the floating fortresses are Nerubian style, including the pure Saronite version of the ultimate fortress that was just established and built in the disaster base camp of Icecrown Glacier.
Kane has always paid enough attention to this magical version of the air battleship.
According to the prophet's information, the floating fortress can be teleported over a long distance, but the conditions are very harsh. The original historical line, that is, Naxxramas, and the Black Wind Fortress, which was once the flagship of the Lich King, have carried out similar operations. Short-distance leap, other fortresses have not been able to do it.
But this time, the reality taught him a lesson. The Scourge used the Naxanar they had jumped to as a fulcrum to drop flying units and bombed the industrial area of Garin City.
Not only from the sky, but also from the ground.
Geological weapons, the kind that cause local earthquakes by prying rock plates.
This made Kane immediately think of the fact that in the original historical line, Illidan used the power of the super-large ritual circle in the Tomb of Sargeras to attack the Icecrown Throne in order to fulfill the orders of Kil'jaeden, the master of the false and deceitful snake... ()
