"A large number of Earth Elemental lifeforms have been discovered!"
"The enemy has air-dropped Earth Elemental lifeforms in a cannon-like manner!"
"Two thousand, three thousand … Five thousand … Unable to count, the rough estimate is over ten thousand."
"The Wyrmrest Temple has sent a request for help!"
As the two largest bases in Northrend controlled by the alliance, Utgard Castle and the Fearless Fort each had different functions.
The Fearless Fort, located on the edge of the North Wind Tundra in the southwest of Northrend, was an offshore fort very close to the shore and also a deep-water port close to the sea. Because of the open coastline, it was the alliance's largest import and export trading port in the north. By encircling the sea and building a breakwater, it became the location of the alliance's North Sea Fleet.
A surface fleet consisting of 181 Destroyers, 40 Cruisers, and 12 Battleships, in addition to the 44 Flying Battleships arranged on the northern coast of the Fearless Fort, formed a powerful mixed fleet.
As for Utgard Castle, located in the center of the Howling Fjord in the southeast of Northrend, it was transformed into an air base that could be connected through the Dagger Sheath Bay and was surrounded by mountains.
Usually, there was only a medium-sized Flying Battleship stationed here, and the number of ships never exceeded a hundred. But ever since the alliance occupied Northrend, this place was built to accommodate two standard Flying Battleships of the alliance.
At the time of the Throne Conference, the alliance leaders didn't understand.
From a common sense point of view, Northrend no longer had any so-called enemies. The world's two most powerful Guardians, the Wyrmrest Temple and Audur, were here. The only enemy that could be considered the Scourge had been erased, and even the current Lich King was on their side.
Even if Duque only requested that the several air bases built around Utgard Castle only have berths and not too many supporting facilities, this still made the alliance leaders puzzled.
After all, leveling the land, paving roads, reserving fuel cabins, setting up security areas, sentry towers, and other things would still cost money and manpower.
Naturally, Du Mouke had his own halo before becoming a demigod, and he had repeatedly proven his foresight, making his name as the Peeper of Fate even more resounding, so no one really opposed it.
In any case, even the cost of building the base was paid by the Marcus Family, which would be deducted from the alliance's membership fees.
Duque said that if the base couldn't be used, then this debt wouldn't need to be paid by the alliance.
But everyone knew that a certain Du would never make a loss …
With the arrival of the new Great Maelstrom, Utgard Castle and the Fearless Fortress became the frontlines of the battlefield!
In the Fearless Fortress, all kinds of alarms were ringing, and the latest magic surveillance mirror kept outlining the enemy's silhouette.
"More than a thousand earth elemental creatures have been discovered at the bottom of the sea!" the monitor shouted.
"Don't worry, that's the job of Vashj's underwater troops." Muradin Bronzebeard was very calm. "Unless Vashj sends a request for help, we'll block the news from that side."
"Understood!"
Immediately after, new intelligence came. "Three Neltharion clones were found, plus a group of Twilight Dragons — 800 adult dragons, 3,000 baby dragons, and the number is still increasing. Distance, 32,000 meters! "
Muradin tugged at his well-groomed beard: "There are no dragons to cover us this time!" Muradin turned to the two magic mirrors. "Bu Laing, my good brother, do you think we should take that thing out?"
Bu Laing smiled and nodded. "Second brother, without the help of the Wyrmrest Temple this time, if we wantonly deplete someone's griffins, he'll go crazy."
Kudran in the mirror next to him had a straight face. "I only have five thousand griffins, and it's ten to one. If you want to use the Luminous Barbarian Dwarves, just say it!"
Muradin shrugged. "Then use it. Anyway, Duque isn't here, so we have the final say."
"Everyone, listen up, switch to 'tungsten core armor-piercing bullets'!" The order was quickly passed down.
Whether it was the fleet, the cannon positions of the Fearless Fortress, or the Naxxramas flying fortress not far to the west of the Fearless Fortress, all the gunners got busy.
Although both kinds of shells were placed nearby, it was still a mess to switch.
When the Twilight Dragons entered within ten thousand meters of the line of defense formed by the two fortresses, thousands of cannons roared almost at the same time.
Thousands of shells, because of the faint holy light contained in them, showed beautiful golden lines as they streaked across the sky.
The trajectory of the shells was like a fireball that swept across the sky at high speed, dragging a long tail of flames that intertwined with each other. The tail quickly disappeared at the end, and the front kept elongating. One after another, layer after layer, it was as beautiful as the fireworks at the Winter Veil Festival.
Before the war, every Twilight Dragon was told that the human cannons were useless. At most, the unlucky ones who were hit by too many shells would die, and nothing else, just a little pain.
But when the massive number of shells poured down on the bodies of the Twilight Dragons like raindrops, it immediately caused an effect beyond the imagination of both sides.
The shells, which were thought to be just a powerful toy, clearly had the same shape as before, but it seemed to be injected with a completely different mysterious power. With a higher level of mystery, it crushed the defense of the Dragon Race, which had run rampant in Azeroth for more than twenty-five thousand years and had not been effectively broken.
The tungsten core armor-piercing shells easily pierced through the dragon scales and skin. After entering the muscle tissue, they seemed to have a life of their own and came to life. Pieces of shrapnel tumbled, and the purple dragon scales, skin, and even muscles were blown up by the explosion.
Although there was no result of death unless it hit the dragon's head, even if it hit the chest, there were too many shells.
The continuous explosions formed a scene in the air that looked like the end of the world.
There were purple fragments flying everywhere, and dirty flesh and blood formed a scene like rain.
Even the Alliance officers who were observing the results of the battle were almost stunned by the scene in front of them.
The explosion caused by the terrifying volley turned the entire space with a diameter of three kilometers into a dead space. Originally, in order to avoid collisions, the distance between the Twilight Dragons was a little scattered. Now it was even more scattered. After a round of cannon fire, a sieve-like flying formation was exposed in front of the Alliance Army.
"Three Neltharion clones are alive, and the number of Twilight Dragons has been reduced to 29%!" The monitor summarized the monitoring results immediately.
Kudran curled his lips. "The Wildhammer Dwarves can handle those little dragons."
"Come on, it's not to the point where you have to sacrifice yourselves," Bu Laing complained.
The weakening of the role of mid-level magical beasts such as Griffins, Hippogryphs, and Dragon Hawks on the battlefield was, in a sense, also caused by the changes of the times.
Using the Twilight Dragons as opponents was too strong for the Griffins. Basically, the Griffins could only form teams to deal with the young dragons. Anything higher would not necessarily succeed even if they used their lives.
