Chapter 523 Protracted War
Vanessa and the generals were busy for three days. Unlike the Lich King's method of framed a, the coalition forces had to do a lot of work. Even if they unified the internal thoughts of the coalition forces, they often needed to spend time to truthfully pass on the meaning of the upper class to the soldiers below. There were too many things to worry about in this process.
The west side of the Gate of Holy Light is decorated with infantry and cavalry. Lordaeron and the Dwarf Kingdom, a total of 120 steam tanks are placed in the pass. They will need to be the main force in the next attack.
On the east side, there are mainly wounded soldiers and new soldiers. The Gate of Holy Light was taken down and the Undead Legion was blocked in the Ice Crown Glacier.
At this time, the entire keel bone wilderness, including the north wind tundra in the west, the grizzly hills and howling fjords in the east, were safe. From the Gate of the Holy Light to the Vodal Hill Camp, then headed south all the way to the New Fireplace Valley by the sea. With this supply line, various materials can enter the Gate of the Holy Light continuously, and the pressure on transportation is not too great.
Vanessa secretly asked Miss Lula to purify the entire military fortress. The paladins who didn't know the truth woke up and found, huh? Why did such a rich holy light suddenly pop out here? The holy light appeared! Praise the holy light!
Not to mention Lordaeron's Paladin, even Quel'thalas, Kazmodan and the Paladin of Storm Kingdom were excited.
"Your Highness, we have wiped out more than 50,000 undead soldiers on the east side of the Gate of Holy Light, including the elite Death Knight led by Farion and the undead soldiers who went to fight later. However, the vampires in Salein killed very few. Lannaser heard that he ran away as soon as the war began."
Old Fording is now positioned as an adjutant, and reporting all the information to Vanessa is his main job.
Vanessa nodded slightly, and a thief reported to her. Lannathel said a few words to Kelthas on the battlefield, and then the blood-sucking queen who had transformed from a blood elf fled from the battlefield.
She was undeniable about this. Lannathal was once a hero. She followed Kelthus and Illidan to expedition Northrend. After she died in battle, she was resurrected by the Lich King. There were all kinds of confusions. It can only be said that Illidan and Kelthus could not see the situation clearly and forced to send it off. After being defeated, they ran back and killed all their subordinates. The incompetent leader was the leader, not the soldiers who were indestructible to execute orders and never retreat.
Now seeing the old subordinates, Kelthass and Lannathel say a few words, it’s no big deal.
Vanessa didn't think Kelthas would go to the Lich King, the chance was so small that it was infinitely close to zero.
"I understand, please continue."
Old Fording's tone was followed by excitement: "The number of enemies we killed at West Gate cannot be counted for the time being, but I think the number of enemies killed should be far more than that of East Gate. Conservatively estimated, it should be between 100,000 and 150,000."
One east and one west, the total number of undead soldiers killed more than 200,000, which is an indisputable victory.
This also includes a large number of Death Knights and Sarein vampires. The results of the coalition's combat at the Gate of the Holy Light can be described as brilliant.
The total number of undead with a total of 600,000 was reduced by 200,000 at once, which is definitely good news for the coalition forces.
Before, one soldier was needed to deal with three undeads, but now it's enough to deal with two.
"What about the damage caused by the coalition forces?"
Speaking of this, Old Fording sighed: "More than 8,000 soldiers died in battle, and more than 5,000 were injured. These people were seriously injured and it was difficult to get back onto the battlefield."
Azeroth's injuries generally refer to serious injuries, and injuries that cannot be completely healed even with the use of holy light and natural power.
Some of them suffer heavy mental damage, and they can't accept it mentally when they see their comrades beside them. Not to mention the holy light and the power of nature, it is difficult for Titans to heal even if they come.
Some are infected with the power of the undead or bitten by the Sarein vampire, and in this case, they must be amputated. The fundamental reason for the treatment is to speed up the self-healing speed of cells. If the subject is already injured by five or seven, he cannot use spells to treat him casually. He could have lived for ten years, but after one treatment, he immediately entered a state of return to light. This is better than not to treat it.
For the coalition forces, the wounded soldiers have withdrawn from this battle.
Vanessa retelled the numbers: "Lordalon is responsible for the funeral of the 13,000 sacrificed soldiers and injured soldiers. They are notified to the country and asked them to give priority to the matter, and the pension and follow-up treatment are arranged."
The pension and the follow-up arrangements for the wounded soldiers both cost money, with 13,000 casualties, among which Lordaeron's casualties accounted for more than 8,000. A full army was killed and lost, and the remaining part was the losses of the dwarves and Gilnis. Among the Gilnis, there were a few who transformed werewolfs, and their overall combat effectiveness was still a little worse. Vanessa waved her hand and all these pensions were paid by Lordaeron.
The first two pursuits accounted for 3,000 casualties, and after the last three days of persistence, they roughly suffered about 10,000 casualties.
There were great casualties, but all this was worth it. Even if people who did not understand military affairs saw the geographical location of the Holy Light Gate, they knew that the situation of the coalition was very good.
In the time and space without Lordaeron and Vanessa rising up, the Alliance and the Horde also attacked the Gate of Heavenly Condemnation, but encountered the strong attack of the Lich King and the betrayal of the Forgotten, the advance army was wiped out.
The old Fordine was forced to take people away from the Jingge Forest, cleared the three death gates of Modresa, Ordusa and Coresa in succession, and finally led a team to airborne the Ice Crown Fortress with a black technology like the Flying Warship, and killed a beautiful beheading operation.
In the game, it is a mountain behind the Gate of Heavenly Condemnation, and the ice crown fortress on the top of the mountain is actually impossible. The Lich King was full and built a huge military fortress at the foot of the mountain? What did he mean? Is the farmhouse? The Alliance and the Tribe also got into the mind and attacked such a military fortress with no way behind?
The real situation is that there is a road, not only the road is very flat, but near the glacier, the Lich King used the ability of the spider demon and countless undead to dig through the mountains. There is a road ten times wider than the underground tunnel in the previous life that can directly reach the bottom of the Ice Crown Fortress.
The scout sent back the message, and the passage opened by the Spider Demon was very strong. Not only could it be used for large legions to fight, but even steam tanks could rush around the tunnel.
Vanessa did not attack rashly. She asked the coalition forces to build a line of defense for every five hundred meters ahead. She had to rely on her strong defense to smooth out the numerical advantage of the undead legion, and train troops to strengthen the internal cohesion of the freshman Lordaeron.
For this reason, she bought a large amount of food from the goblins, and it would be fine if she fought for another half a year!
