Chapter 2006 Fortress of Courage

Duke persuaded Lao Chen and Shaohao to let Shenzhenzi risk participating in the first wave of attacks, provided that the alliance successfully controlled the beachhead.

The Pandaren didn't want their old friend to take risks, but this was a war involving all living things in Azeroth, and even the always kind-hearted Turtle God couldn't stay out of it.

Therefore, Shenzhenzi's huge turtle's back was filled with the mechanized troops of the Alliance. Two full assault tank divisions are the Alliance's biggest weapon in attacking the Burning Legion's positions.

Almost as soon as Shenzhenzi approached the Broken Beach and gave the signal that he could not get any closer, the Alliance engineers quickly put down the trestle they had prepared early in the morning and built it from Shenzhenzi's back all the way to the beach.

Thousands of mechanized troops marched onto the Broken Beach proudly.

Their joining directly overwhelmed the counterattack of the Burning Legion, and a large number of armored troops, under the cover of the pressing air fleet, occupied the entire Broken Shore in just twelve hours.

This laid a solid foundation for the arrival of the second ‘island’.

It was a mobile fortress fixed on more than 11,000 pontoons and floating cabins, covering an area of ​​more than one square kilometer. Its shape is an octagonal bastion with a height of nine floors. Today it only has a reinforced cement concrete base structure.

Even if unnecessary structures were repeatedly deleted, its total weight still exceeded 36,000 tons.

Yes, the Alliance does have flying fortresses like Naxxramas and Dalaran. But in ultra-modern warfare, the importance of strongholds is also self-evident.

Naxxramas, which did not land, was like a sword of Damocles, hanging high on the heads of the demons. Moreover, the Flying Fortress also undertakes the task of mobile support, so it is best not to use the two existing Flying Fortresses to serve as the military fulcrum of the Broken Islands.

Historically, the brave mage of Dalaran has served as this forward base in almost every war since the Third Dark Portal, from the icy Northrend to the Broken Isles.

In this life, Du has changed history significantly, and Dalaran has to bear much less pressure.

After Dalaran moved above the sea on the west side of the Broken Shore to act as a barrier to isolate the counterattack of the flying Doom Guard army, Naxxramas began to help transport the Mobile Fortress to the Broken Shore.

More than 18,000 steel cables hung from the square-shaped Naxxramas. After the cables were fixed, almost the entire mobile fortress was hoisted.

It is said to be 'almost' because the earth elemental realm, the only one among the four elemental realms that has not undertaken the task of outer-atmosphere defense, has taken on the responsibility for this advancement.

The children and servants of Stonemother Therazane command over ten thousand earth elementals. They used their solid and powerful arms to hold up the entire mobile fortress from the shallow water all the way to the coast.

The earth elemental army used its unique earth magic to fill up all the uneven ground on the Broken Beach in just one hour.

The huge fortress came crashing down.

Place prefabricated steel columns in the reserved cavity and seal them with cement. A large number of sea and air transport ships, like a colony of ants, swarmed up to lay an outer metal deck on the fortress and perform magical protection processing.

Normally, it was not unusual for such a huge fortress to take ten years to build in the old days.

But with the help of Duke's modern management methods, black technology, and the extremely magical army of earth elements, the fortress was formed in just three days.

The Alliance officially named this forward base fortress [Fortress of Courage]!

That's right! It does take courage to stand up to the endless demons of the Burning Legion with a mortal body.

Now it seems that the entire league is doing better than everyone imagined.

Thrall stood on the side of a 230-meter-long flying battleship, looking at the majestic city two kilometers away that seemed to be changing every moment, and felt a lot.

"Did you see it? Old friend, I have imagined countless times - if I had suppressed the opposition in the tribe and not handed over power to Garrosh, would the tribe still exist... Obviously, the answer is no."

Vol'jin came over, glanced at the [Frostwolf] airship built by the Alliance specifically for Thrall, and felt the same emotion.

An extremely majestic flying battleship, equipped with the ultimate 460mm cannon of an Alliance battleship, as well as the latest type of [Eagle Strike] missiles.

It's a pity that the orcs have a natural weakness in controlling high-tech weapons. Thrall had good intentions in forcing these guys who would rather charge at the demons with axes and die to accept new knowledge and weapons.

Vol'jin sighed secretly and said: "The era of the Horde ended six years ago. As long as we survive this battle, Azeroth will usher in the era of the Grand Alliance. If you don't want to be destroyed, take advantage of the fact that the other party still has some goodwill. become a part of each other... I never felt that your and my decision to join the Alliance was a mistake."

"Yes!" Sal said with infinite emotion.

The battle between the Alliance and the Burning Legion continues.

There are several huge areas in the Broken Islands in the middle of the endless sea of ​​Azeroth. The Alliance can obtain a strategic pivot on the Broken Shore, which is the lowest altitude and most convenient to occupy. This is undoubtedly a very gratifying step.

With this Fortress of Courage, which did not exist in history, the Alliance was able to set up artillery emplacements in the Broken Shore area without restraint. Because under the increasingly high terrain restrictions of the Broken Islands, the artillery firing range of ships on the sea will be greatly affected.

This kind of fixed artillery position that can use 800mm train guns is the artillery's favorite.

As the initial war went smoothly, a voice emerged within the alliance.

"Hahahaha! The demons of the Burning Legion are nothing more than that!"

"Counterattack! The Alliance should counterattack into the Twisting Nether and hit the Legion's lair."

Most of those who say this are low-level staff officers with good backgrounds or tutors, who have just graduated from military academies and whose starting point is higher than that of ordinary soldiers. Of course, there are also a few military veterans who take the lead.

We have seen too many of this kind of idiots who have no brains to deceive their own people and encourage more people to follow them and die.

For example, in World War I, when the British army saw machine guns for the first time, the brainless British commander felt that he had not sent enough soldiers. As a result, more soldiers were sent to die in an attempt to use up their machine gun bullets with their flesh and blood.

In response to this kind of stupidity, Duke directly transferred all the guys who were talking nonsense to the front line of Broken Beach with a piece of paper. Within three days, more than half of these idiots were dead and then fell silent.

The defensive side is always passive.

When the Burning Legion discovered that Azeroth was as hard to crack as ever, the entire Legion began to adjust.
