Stratholme God

  Chapter 24 How did they get here?

   Gently swaying the rare glass, took a sip of the [Ford Special Brew] purchased from the Galina Distillery in Stormwind City, which sold for 2 gold and 17 silver, and McDonald felt a little intoxicated.

   He pointed to the tool man Mayor Thlas Baseras: "Show me the latest military spending."

   "Follow your will." The tool man came back after a circle, and brought a large stack of ledgers: "Your Excellency, this is the aggregated ledger, and this is the item."

   I have to admit that this tool is very competent.

  From the life-saving money for recruiting soldiers in Stratholme, to the daily food expenses of the army after the expedition, food wastage, to the pension, every item is clear, and the pension has the handprints of different people.

   It's just that the amount makes someone a little dissatisfied.

   Only lost more than 5,000 gold coins?

The tool man also thought that the master was dissatisfied with the high cost: "My master, a lot of things can be recycled. Even if the skin made of animal skins is shot to rot, it can be used as a small shield for the infantry by cutting it. The Thorium plate on it can be used again. Melted into thorium ingots for secondary use."

   McDonald's became more and more unhappy: You have told the system, the system will definitely not let me waste it at will. Sure enough, you should be sold to Stormwind City.

   He waved his hand: "Understood, finish this battle first, and then discuss the follow-up."

"Yes."

  McDonald's eyes turned to the direction of the top of the mountain again.

  In ancient times, fighting was not good. At the moment when magical communication was not yet popular, the way to send orders and obtain information in wars still relied very solely on the messengers.

   At this moment, on the mountain.

   "All the Scarlet Crusaders obey the order - raise your shields! Walk together!" Abidis's loud voice lifted the spirits of the 1,000 red-armored infantry.

  The blood-red bright armor reflects the eerie light in the sun, looking down from the higher troll altar, it looks like a sea of ​​blood is slowly pressing.

  The neat clang of the iron boots stimulated the ears of the trolls.

  The trolls line up along the pyramid-shaped altar, with infantrymen with stout spears at the bottom, and shadow hunters standing a little higher.

   If it's just a showdown of cold weapons, this formation is no problem.

   After all, even if human crossbow arrows have a long range, in theory, depending on the height of the altar up to 50 meters, throwing spears can also make up for it, so that’s right.

   "Boom! Boom! Boom!" When the mortars were lined up after the army formation, and after they were set up, if someone was still there, they would definitely shout - troll! Times have changed!

Even if the gunpowder bought from the dwarves is the so-so [strong gunpowder], which is a notch higher than the inferior black powder, and not even a mortar shell, the advantage is that it can provide long-range support for the army with a range of more than 500 meters. Where the shells go after they leave the muzzle is another matter.

  Anyway, things made by dead dwarfs are thick, strong, and don't explode.

   Then his boss was arrogant and had enough mortar shells.

   Twelve 60cm (correct caliber) mortar shells fired for several rounds, only to see that the side of the altar facing Taniguchi was dead.

  Abydis squinted his eyes, almost thinking that there was no more infantry, and immediately heard the strange sound of war drums.

   "Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh oh—" The original and rough drum sound came from behind the altar.

   These drums are hard to hear these days, as they represent the lost glory of the Amani troll empire.

   2800 years ago, drums like this were heard on every frontal battle against trolls.

   Looking at the troll soldiers who rushed out from behind the altar and used skirmish lines to offset the damage of the shelling, Abidis flushed with excitement: "Prepare—"

   The human sword and shield soldiers in the front row and the pikemen in the middle row clenched their weapons at the same time.

  The troll warrior ran and ran. When he entered the range of the human bow and crossbow, his running speed suddenly accelerated, and his eyes showed a strange red color.

   They ran S-shape slightly, trying to evade long-range attacks with agility.

   "Be careful! That's the troll's racial talent [Rage]! They are very dangerous at the moment!" The hooded Veresa was among the human bowmen, and she was appointed as a temporary 'leader'.

   Her first arrow will serve as a guide for this 100-man archer team.

  "咻—" The turquoise arrows slanted upwards 40 degrees, traversing the battlefield like a rainbow.

   It seemed that he was going to shoot into the air, but it turned out that a troll ran out of the S-curve, as if he was desperately hitting his eyeballs on the arrow.

   A blow that pierced through the head and got a natural kill.

What's even more awesome is that this kind of pre-judgmental attack is like a net, and more than 30 trolls are like a sparrow hitting the net. Among them, more than 20 trolls are unlucky, and they are directly shot in the head by multiple arrows. And die.

  Three rounds of rapid fire in one breath, stunned to shoot more than a hundred trolls to the ground, making the trolls' offensive stagnate.

   It can be seen that Abidis wished he had a 500-person archer team, so that no trolls would rush over.

   The two armies are finally engaged.

   Originally, trolls have stronger physical fitness than humans. When trolls’ attack speed is increased by 30% and movement speed is increased by 10%, they are simply monsters.

   The only good news is that the troll's [Rage] doesn't last long, usually 10 seconds, and some powerful trolls are a little longer, and it won't exceed 30 seconds.

   The front line was instantly filled with blood.

Abidis saw with his own eyes that a human sword and shield soldier was slashed on the shield by a troll with an axe, then waved his long arm, and hooked the whole shield soldier, including the person with the shield, out of the battle line, and was pierced by three spears in the body. Under the circumstance, he still bit down, biting off the neck of the shield soldier.

  Humans are dominant, but casualties will definitely not be less.

  Humans slowly advanced the front line, killing all the way to the altar.

   But when he hit it, Abidis didn't feel right...

   "Wait! Where's the troll shadow hunter?"

   At this time, at the foot of the mountain.

   Someone is comfortably waiting for good news.

hey-hey!

  Don't talk about what you are talking about.

   When I was playing chicken, I never just shot!

  What M4 do you want?

  What do you want to break the sniper?

  What are the eight times blind glasses?

  My lord, I lay down on the ground with a wretched machine gun, full of medicine bags and bandages, a hut with shotguns, poisoned edges throughout, people squatting in various corners, lying on the ground in wheat fields, poisoning blood, picking up dead man boxes, whoever shows his **** I will kill whoever.

  Let those guys with the word "Gang" written on their foreheads see, what is the king of stealth eating chicken in the audience!

   McDonald's was very satisfied with his arrangement.

   There are six big men in front of him, and there are two silver saints as bodyguards.

  There are so many famous hero units in the history of Azeroth, my lord, my level A has been equal to a big move in the past.

   Merely Talekin, ridiculous!

   I don't do anything, just wait for the paycheck.

   I asked, who else! ?

   McDonald looked with satisfaction at the [Dwarf Fishing Rod] that glowed fiercely at his hand: "Little brother dei, I'm afraid I won't need you."

   The voice fell, and suddenly there was an exclamation from the front of the military camp.

   "Ah! Trolls!"

  For no reason, the huge wooden camp gate that Mograine helped erect collapsed.

   In the dust of the sky, a group of hunchbacked green monsters rushed over fiercely.

   That's not what a troll is! ?

   "Fuck! How did they get here?" McDonald's was shocked!
