Chapter 617 Hire a Commander to Lead the Regiment

After examining the overall situation, Kane's latest order is to let the Copper Puppet Department attack as soon as possible.

These heavy infantry converted from ogres are the core force of the Volunteer Army.

However, with the problem of military supplies, the long-range strike capability of the Volunteers has basically been abolished.

In other words, the high-end tactics Kane originally planned are gone.

The so-called high-end tactics are actually some tactics of the modern army. The ones who really deal a lot of damage are actually the Argonians who look short and do auxiliary work most of the time. Because they use thermal weapons. musket artillery.

Now the hot weapon is out of play because of the ammunition. Kane decided to let the copper puppet participate in the low-end warfare, which is a relatively common war in this world called sword and magic, which is actually a war of cold weapons.

To put it bluntly, high-end and low-end are a matter of focus.

If it is sword and magic, the focus is on magic cannons, no, even if it is the firepower of the mage group, this is considered a high-end strategy. On the contrary, magic is just an embellishment on the battlefield, and its use ratio is lower than that of arrows. This is considered a low-end round, because the victory and defeat are determined by cold weapons.

After giving the order for the copper puppet to go out, Kane also sent a special invitation letter.

This invitation letter surprised almost everyone, including the invitees.

The invitee is Reginald Windsor who is visiting the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

Windsor is a veteran who once served as Anduin Lothar's personal guard and participated in the raid on Karazhan.

At the same time, he also performed well in the human-animal war. And gradually promoted to the senior commander of the Stormwind Kingdom.

The premature surrender of the black dragon princess Onyxia by Kane also made Windsor lose the chance to be promoted to marshal. Of course, if he knew that the price of promotion would be posthumous title, he would probably rather not be promoted.

The Kingdom of Lordaeron and the Kingdom of Stormwind are one south and one north, but the relationship between the two countries is extraordinary.

Back then, the Stormwind Kingdom was broken by the invading orcs, and King Ryan was assassinated and killed. Lothar saved the young Varian and a large number of people, and came north to Lordaeron.

And Terenas accepted the refugees and organized an alliance, and finally avenged the Kingdom of Stormwind and recovered most of the lost land.

Many of the people of Stormwind,

Later, he did not return to his homeland, but took root and multiplied here with his new identity as a citizen of the Kingdom of Lundanlun. It has been more than ten years since then.

Because of this relationship, the Kingdom of Lordaeron encountered a natural disaster this time. Although the Kingdom of Stormwind did not send many reinforcements because it was too far away, the economic support was very strong.

Today, the Kingdom of Lordaeron is so dilapidated that there are still people who are willing to borrow money to help them continue to fight the Patriotic War. Except for the Kingdom of Falcon, the Kingdom of Stormwind is the only one.

Windsor sent the Griffin this time.

The Kingdom of Stormwind is the best at raising griffins among the human kingdoms, and even the name of its kingdom is not unrelated to it. The ancestor of the Wrynn family was the famous Storm Knight (Griffin Knight), and he had always been close to the Ironforge and Wildhammer clans among the dwarves.

The Kingdom of Lordaeron fought against the Scourge for more than a year, and the Griffin Knights, which were mainly used for aerial reconnaissance, suffered relatively large losses. The Scourge army's air force is very powerful and has a rich variety. In addition to gargoyles and vampire bats, there are also obsidian flying beasts and flying spiders, not to mention the air overlords like the dead cold dragon.

And the loss of the sky would not only be unlucky for the ground troops, but also affect the daily production and life of the people. Therefore, the Kingdom of Lordaeron can be said to be gritting its teeth and spending a lot of money. This is one of the reasons.

And when it comes to air combat, we have to mention the Kingdom of Falken.

Kane had borrowed the hands of the Freemasons a few years ago to get the Proto-Dragon from Northrend.

After so many years, although the air battle group has not been pulled up, the air battle dragon is basically finalized.

It is only said to be basic because of the lack of actual combat data.

This data cannot be obtained by small-scale aerial hunting, but must be a war, and it must be of sufficient scale.

Shortly after Arthas mobilized volunteers to conquer Northrend, Kane joined forces with Varian and sent a gift to the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

This gift is called the 1+1 air combat plan. Kane produced dragons, and Varian produced humans, so the experimental dragons were controlled by the best human air knights.

This is a process of learning from each other, including Kane himself, who doesn't have much experience in controlling flying beasts, but he is very good at fighter jets.

In a flash, ten months passed.

The original experimental flying squadron has now become the absolute main force of the coalition air combat, and its scale has also expanded into a brigade, and its reputation is getting louder and louder.

One of the missions that Windsor came here this time is to exchange some dragon knights back home in the name of rest, and impart better air combat tactics and flying experience.

Because a few months ago, under Varian's hard work, Kane had agreed to breed a flying dragon for the Kingdom of Stormwind as a heavy air combat unit.

Kane himself is not satisfied with this war dragon named 'Chasing the Wind', and he has no intention of cultivating and deploying it in large quantities, but the people in the Storm Kingdom like it from top to bottom, and they can't wait to have it. Very sincerely, Kane agreed.

In the spring of next year, the first batch of Windchaser Dragons will be in place, and the Sky Knights will be in place ahead of time, familiar with the running-in. Now the training is already very tight. If it weren’t for the war here that relies heavily on the Sky Knights, the Storm Kingdom would have already transferred people. up.

Unfortunately, Windsor was in a hurry, and with the sudden force of the Scourge, neither Terenas nor Uther had time to deal with his problems.

Windsor is also a kind person, so I am sorry to forcibly pull people at this time. The result was that the air knight he brought was on duty urgently, but the one he was going to take away was still working overtime on the post.

But he himself dislikes it, he is at the general level anyway, even if he offers to help, it is not easy to arrange specific tasks.

Against this background, an invitation letter from Kane completely changed his situation.

Kane asked him to be the Supreme Commander of the Copper Puppets.

Windsor is serving a military job, so the relevant information is naturally known.

Although the Falken Volunteer Army has entered the public eye for a short time, it is definitely a first-class star army.

The first show was "Sneaking Thousands of Miles", a team of more than 10,000 people, without even the local lord being aware of it, crossed Hillsbrad and suddenly appeared near Pyrewood Village in Silverpine Forest.

The second show can be called "one night fortress", which means that the speed of repairing and building a fortress is incredible. Of course, it actually took almost 10 days.

However, 10 days includes the new town of Pyrewood, as well as the basic facilities of the port and free trade market. Coupled with the heavily fortified Xinyingya Fortress, this construction speed is still legendary.

The third show is the night battle of Beiliu Fort that happened not long ago. Since neither of the warring parties used large-scale arcane force field shielding, the timely use of various monitoring spells allowed Lordaeron and Dalaran to capture the battle process.

The only bad thing is that the night battle has an impact on the monitoring after all. The relevant information is not from the ordinary perspective, but from the energy perspective. This becomes blurred.

But even so, professionals can still deduce the whole process clearly. Then there are all kinds of exclamation, admiration and admiration.

The performance of the Scourge Corps has already made people shudder, but the Volunteer Army is even stronger. Even the Argonians, who are regarded as auxiliary soldiers and handymen, are powerful and terrifying.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the way. Many military experts exclaimed that the Argonians have simply created a new model of warfare.

True, they realized the advantages that come with the concentrated use of firearms. Not only is the destruction area formed by concentrated fire and shooting attracting attention, but the substantial energy saving compared with cold weapons is also a big selling point.

It is precisely because of the low physical consumption of hot weapons that the Argonians can always suppress the tireless and good at fighting natural disaster cannon fodder troops.

Although Windsor didn't know much about it in detail, he still knew about the copper puppet. The core combat power of the Volunteer Army is magically modified on the basis of the ogre.

In recent years, the number of ogres in the Eastern Continent has been reduced to seven out of ten. Back then, many people joked that Galin Trollbane was a fool with money and love to play tricks. Live everything. It's just that the price of the latter is much higher, while the former must be kept fresh, such as sealing the corpse with a magic scroll or something.

Prince Trollbane's special hobby has bred a special hunting team to make this kind of money. It was obviously blood money, but because the ogre was a scourge to human beings, it became a just cause. The local lords and locals who had always been xenophobic also looked at this kind of team differently.

Ever since, there are quite a few people who have earned both money and fame, go home to sell land and buy properties, marry a good woman, and brag about their righteous cause to their wives, children and neighbors in their spare time, not to mention how comfortable they are.

But as soon as the copper puppet came out, people realized that in terms of making money, Prince Thorbane would consider him second in this world, and probably no one would dare to be number one.

The value of a copper puppet is probably a hundred times that of an ordinary ogre. It is said that there are already more than one prominent figure who hoped to obtain a copper puppet as a personal guard. For this reason, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to use the service channel of Solas. But so far no one has heard of it.

Windsor never imagined that such a legendary combat force would be given full command by himself even though it was famous and mysterious.

In the words of his adjutant: "Now, maybe even the elves of Quel'Sales will find reasons to come and join, so as to get a chance to get a closer look at the secrets of the copper puppet!"

And what Wen De Sole wondered the most was why Prince Trollbane, whom he had never met before, trusted him so much that he was willing to entrust such combat power to him as his sole agent?

Not only he was confused, but everyone who knew about it was also confused. Even Solas said after hearing this: "I really can't understand my son more and more."

The truth is actually simple. Kane has the advantage of being a prophet, and he is very clear about Wen De Sole's character and ability. This is a veteran who defies power and has amazing bones.

Although he has not received professional military training, which makes his command art a bit old-fashioned, his experience is enough for him to command a force of old warfare.

What Kane likes most about him is that while having the cautious attitude of a veteran, Wen De Sole has never lacked courage. He believes that Wen De Sole can make the copper puppet glow dazzlingly on the battlefield. ()
