To the surprise of everyone in the coalition, after Azzinos died in battle, his Burning Legion did not flee. Instead, they resolutely continued to attack the second line of defense. The remaining more than 300,000 demons almost directly broke through. The stone wall was broken, causing heavy losses to the coalition forces.
This situation made Chu Tian feel wary again. With such a strong execution force, he hoped that there would be only one Burning Legion. This battle lasted for about ten days, and the dragon clan and gunpowder caused large-scale destruction. Next, corpses gradually piled up outside the stone wall. By the end of the battle, demons had even rushed in. If Illidan hadn't used the seeds implanted in his body to kill Azzinoth, then under his leadership, the third The second line of defense may really not be able to hold. []
In the end, only a small number of demons escaped strategically. They should have reported to Sargeras in the universe in a special way. Chu Tian wanted to pursue him, but after ten consecutive days of high-intensity guard battles, the coalition forces were exhausted beyond measure. Imagine that most of the coalition forces were injured, and many even died in battle. Although the priests could resurrect their comrades, not many could be saved due to excessive wear and tear.
In this battle, the coalition lost more than 2,000 members, and seriously injured more than 20,000. The rest were all defeated, their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and the second line of defense was on the verge of being broken. After this battle, the Burning Legion found a magic weapon that could defeat the coalition. If next time Another five hundred thousand or one million, even if Chu Tian had a plan to steal the sky, he would not be able to deal with it anymore.
Chu Tian took Illidan to patrol the defense line, comforting and treating the injured tribesmen. Illidan hung the Blade of Azzinoth on his body at this moment. The green light looked very evil, just like Illidan in the past. The breath of life on the body is very different.
This battle also brought about a crisis, that is, the inventory of gunpowder was running low. During this battle, almost all active craftsmen went to the second line of defense and served as "gunners", responsible for the operation of catapults and the purchase of gunpowder. In the current state of fatigue, we will not have the energy to manufacture gunpowder on a large scale in the short term.
What's even more worrying is that according to the dragon clan's intelligence, there are now more than 100,000 scattered Burning Legion members scattered on the continent. Because there is no one to lead them, they cannot communicate with each other, so most of them They are scattered all over the place, massacring and destroying all living things they see. In the past, the northern continent was more seriously damaged. As the war situation becomes more intense, small-scale battles are going on every day now.
More people chose to migrate, moving deeper into the eastern interior to escape the pursuit of the Burning Legion. In this way, the coalition forces were unable to travel long distances to rescue and had no choice but to give up.
The situation on the entire continent is now in a state of chaos. Under the protection of the coalition forces, there is basically no fighting in the southern continent. Occasionally, small groups of demon troops wandering over are killed immediately without causing any harm.
Strangely, the demons outside the world seemed to have fallen silent, and did not continue to send troops to encircle and suppress the clan. There seemed to be some kind of conspiracy hidden in this calmness, waiting to quietly break out one day.
Time slowly passed, and half a month had passed since the end of the guard war. However, except for the demons on the mainland, the Burning Legion did not continue to send troops. It may be that there are no suitable adjutants who can cross the barrier to lead the battle. Or maybe Sargeras was furious and suspended the offensive. No one knows why.
During this rare blank period, in addition to continuing to secretly investigate the spies within the clan, Chutian also sent air forces headed by the dragon clan to roam around to eliminate the remaining forces of the Burning Legion as much as possible. Although the attack power It is strong and has good maneuverability, but it still cannot take care of everything.
In the command post of the coalition clan, Chu Tian sighed somewhat depressedly and said: "The number of people is our biggest problem. No matter what tactics and tools we use, if one hundred thousand people want to deal with millions or even tens of millions of demons, it will be difficult." It¡¯s difficult, but we really don¡¯t have the manpower.¡±
The five dragon kings and the leaders of the coalition forces were also watching the map of the mainland with Chu Tian in the command post. Varosen has now become one of the important leaders. This young man from the night elf tribe is constantly fighting. Zhong has developed a good body and character. He is usually calm and taciturn, and meticulous in battle. He always rushes to the front and can read Chu Tian's gestures and orders immediately.
Malfurion, the best scholar of the night elves, also participated in the strategy meeting on behalf of the nobles. Since the invasion of the Burning Legion and Azshara and Chu Tian officially getting together, the man who once hated Chu Tian has calmed down. Many, even though they still had few words with Chu Tian, ??they still performed well on the tasks assigned by Chu Tian.
Alsace is also among them. This is the child Chu Tian focuses on cultivating. Now with the recruitment of refugees, the night elf tribe's young army has exceeded a thousandPeople, these children all trained with Alsace in martial arts, and some of them were given to Azshara to train the magical power of the Eternal Fountain. They are regarded as the reserve army of this continent, but they are not very old, and they can hardly even be called teenagers. , the vast majority are children under ten years old.
The reason why Alsace was involved was because Chu Tian felt that he was very strong in learning ability. Although his talent was average, he was willing to work hard. Chu Tian and Alsace's other teachers were very satisfied with this.
"Captain, there are some people among the refugees who can be trained to fight. Do you want to" Varosen asked tentatively.
There are more than 20,000 refugees in the ethnic group. There are people from all races, mostly humans. Others are scattered small tribes, including descendants of night elves, descendants of dwarves, and of course even a small number of trolls. They are all tribesmen who have been trained and controlled by Duran Double Blade.
Chu Tian denied without hesitation: "No, even if it comes to a life or death situation, refugees who have not undergone systematic training are absolutely not allowed to be pushed onto the battlefield. Varosen should not raise such questions in the future. As for why, you should know. "
Chu Tian indeed once said that recruiting refugees means winning people's hearts. If these refugees are used blindly, the low mortality rate of the coalition so far may be broken. Once broken, the morale of the military and the people will be shaken, resulting in unpredictable consequences.
Varosen nodded hurriedly, knowing that his leader absolutely abides by the bottom line on issues of principle, so he did not dare to make any more suggestions. Although Chutian usually pays attention to everything, these people still follow his lead because his decisions are always correct.
"Oh, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'm going out for a walk. You go ahead. Muradin, please inform the craftsmen in the clan to step up the production of gunpowder. I always feel that there is something wrong with the recent quiet. I'm afraid we have to use it on a large scale. ." Chu Tian ordered.
Muradin nodded, glanced at his brother Magni, and the two quickly walked out of the command post and walked towards the gunpowder manufacturing place in the distance.
Chutian was wandering around alone with Shuangshuang. Since the war started, he had become less and less dependent on Shuangshuang. Now he rarely takes it for walks. This time, he is accompanying it.
The scenery and air next to the Eternal Lake were still so good, but today Chutian felt something was wrong and turned his attention to the center of the lake.
