Grand Arcanist of Azeroth

Chapter 40 The Orcs' Difficult Road to the North

When the high elves' reinforcements set out, the Horde army had already passed through Blackrock Spire, trudging through the harsh environment of scorching valleys and barren lands.

It was a hot and barren land. At a glance, it was only scorched and dry, and even the wind was hot like a barbecue.

These areas have been deserted for more than 300 years with the emergence of the Burning Plains, and no one has lived here for a long time.

If you want to find your way in that harsh place, you can only grope along the general direction bit by bit.

While the orcs were still groping their way north, the coalition forces on the human side had already started training.

The coalition forces were mostly farmers who had just put down their hoes.

Muskets, a weapon that has been heavily promoted in recent years, are very suitable for arming them.

Most of the seven human kingdoms are feudal serfdom.

Training farmers into musketeers with powerful attack power will undoubtedly shake the status of those knight lords.

But between the interests of muskets and knight lords, the kings still chose the former.

The country is about to be wiped out by orcs, and any fool knows how to choose.

Facts have proved that Master Knight's charge is not very reliable.

Their numbers are too few and they are quickly consumed by the orcs.

Only a sufficient number of Musketeers is the most suitable type of arms to deal with orcs.

As for the backward landlord-serf system, the six northern countries are already groping for reform.

The Dalaran Magic Kingdom and the Kul Tiras Kingdom have even completed this reform and embarked on a better development path.

Facts have proved that the backward production mode of landlords and serfs is far less profitable than the development of industry and commerce.

It was a tacit decision made by all the kings to take advantage of the orc invasion to make system changes.

Therefore, promoting muskets has become politically correct.

During this change, the Morning Front Armory received the largest number of orders from the coalition forces.

Knowing that the orcs are heading north, the gnomes and dwarves are now preparing war materials with all their strength.

It's not bad that they don't purchase arms from the outside world!

On the pier of Sunsail Port, Herald waved goodbye to the giant steel ship slowly leaving the port.

The warship that transported the high elf reinforcements to Nanhai Town was a transport warship close to modern standards.

Its displacement is just over [-] tons, which is not considered a giant ship.

But among sailing warships that generally weigh more than 3000 tons, its tonnage is definitely at the level of a giant!
It is not a very urgent task to transport the high elf ranger to South Sea Town.

The orcs are still advancing quickly in the south, why are they in such a hurry to go to Nanhai Town?
Therefore, the goblin captain stopped and stopped along the way, doing nautical trade with the cities along the way.

The high elf rangers had no problem with that either.

The task of supporting the human kingdom has simply become a tour of mountains and rivers.

Rangers have a thorough understanding of hot weapon warfare.

When it comes to the frontal battlefield, the real combat power is this warship.

The main gun on the bow alone can withstand the firepower of a dozen guns.

It is only necessary to provide the enemy's coordinates to the warship, and the enemy will soon have no decent troops left.

The high elf ranger who has been brainwashed by hot weapon tactics has lost guerrilla tactics somewhere!
But hot weapons are the general trend.

The reality is not a game, there are not so many magic bows for remote occupations.

The dwarves have basically completed the process of weaponization of the whole family.

Even soldiers carry a musket on their backs, which they can pull out at any time to "bang bang bang".

Mountain patrol hunters in the wild are the standard equipment for long-barreled muskets and grizzlies.

Even the human kingdom has started the process of weaponization.

Nearly half of the coalition soldiers in training are musketeers.

Faced with a hail of bullets, it is really doubtful whether the orcs in the north can persevere until the end before being defeated.

Herald's doubts were quickly answered.

Successfully found the orc army in the area where the dwarves and gnomes were located, and played an excellent anti-heat weapon tactic.

Dodge artillery fire, use the terrain to get close to enemies, and then unleash a frenetic charge.

Although it didn't completely crush the dwarves and dwarves, it forced them to retreat steadily in the general situation.

The orcs were on their home planet of Draenor, and they defeated the Draenei who had space battleships and were capable of interstellar colonization!

Although Draenei are very sad interstellar refugees, their strength is not as good as that of real interstellar races.

But their technological level is very high, and they even have energy weapons.

However, within a few years of the war, they were almost wiped out by the orcs.

Relying on the violent power brought by the magic blood, the orcs defeated civilization with extreme barbarism!
Now a similar scene is happening on another planet.

Seeing the fortresses built by dwarves and dwarves on the mountain road being pulled out one by one by those brutal and violent orcs, Herald could only feel that barbarism defeated civilization once again.

But the number of dwarves and gnomes is indeed too small.

Moreover, they underestimated the orcs and did not mobilize for a full-scale war.

Wanting to fight the orcs with an army of thousands of people is really a bit contemptuous of people.

Fortunately, these two races like to build defenses.

The dwarves built a fortress city inside the mountain.

As long as the entrance to the city is blocked, the offensive of the orc army will come to an end.

The gnome dug a huge dungeon.

It is also a defensive fortress that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Facing the two turtle races, the orcs launched fierce attacks many times, but failed to make any breakthroughs.

Seeing his own attacks being repulsed again and again, Orgrim had no choice but to change his strategy again.

It left nearly half of the army nearby to prevent these two races from running out to cause trouble.

If the hard bones can't be gnawed, keep them first, and then slowly gnaw them after the humans are cleaned up.

Draenor has a lot of hard bones.

Slowly it was all eaten away.

The orc army, which was about to continue northward, soon left the snowy Dun Morogh.

They came to the wetland near the sea, looking for a way to continue north.

When he got here, Orgrim made two plans.

An army continued to explore, striving to be able to move north by land.

The other army built ships by the sea, and from the sea went straight to Nanhai Town, the hinterland of the human kingdom.

Orgrim's vision was very poisonous, and he took a fancy to the landing position of South Sea Town at a glance.

Hillsbrad Hills, where Southsea Town is located, is the back garden of several surrounding kingdoms.

If the orcs landed from South Sea Town, they could threaten all the surrounding kingdoms.

In fact, as long as they have a little strategic vision, anyone can see the importance of Nanhai Town.

Therefore, the coalition forces of the human kingdom are training here.

Refugees from Stormwind City also took refuge here.

A big battle surrounding Nanhai Town is definitely unavoidable!

However, if the orcs wanted to reach South Sea Town, they had to build a boat first.

Orcs are typical nomads, they don't know how to build big ships that can cross the sea.

But as long as the money is in place, someone will naturally help them build ships.

Several small green-skinned creatures who called themselves goblins approached Orgrim on their own initiative.

Knowing that the other party could help build the ship, Orgrim was immediately interested.

Those goblins can provide a black glue.

The black glue is very strong and will not dissolve when soaked in water.

Orgrim saw the effect of using black glue to bond, and the business was instantly decided.

Orcs are responsible for felling and transporting wood.

Goblins use glue to hold the wood together.

When the glue dries, the boat can be pushed into the sea for use.

Shipbuilding is from careful selection to casual processing, with only the invention of black glue in the middle.

With black glue, the price of a boat will become the price of cabbage.
