Chapter 618: An Alliance Without a Leader (Part 2)

General Haas slowly stepped out of the crowd: "The Kingdom of Ultratown has disappeared. But I hope the flag of the Knights of the Mountain Eagle can still fly in the right place."

That's right, Ultralist was considered a country devastated.

The Broken Ridge in the Royal Capital of the Ultrarank Mountains became ruins. When the king died, there was no heir with the royal bloodline. In order to save face, Lordaeron would never allow the Barov family to continue to control the land. Then the remaining little nobles began to discuss forming a city-state with a level lower than the kingdom, just like the city-state that split from the Arachi Highlands 2,800 years ago.

Perhaps after decades, Ultralank will be upgraded to a kingdom.

But Duke knew that it was impossible.

Instead of letting this Mountain Eagle Knights be wiped out in the dust of history due to the loss of supplies, it is better to send it to Watch Castle. At least one day in the future, the Mountain Eagle Flag of Ultraman may still have hope of returning to Ultraman.

Duke and Anduin nodded at the same time.

The short guys over there have also finished discussing.

Magney: "[Lightning] Tank regiment is yours."

Gerbin: "A 1200-person Dwarf technician engineering team."

Kudland: "500 Griffon Knights."

Due to the distance, it is impossible for countries to send a large number of infantry soldiers. Now everyone is looking at the Storm Trio.

Ryan and Anduin looked at each other: "The Storm Kingdom will issue 50,000 direct infantry, including the Griffon Legion."

Duke's interface: "The Marcus family will have at least 20,000 private soldiers arranged on the Red Ridge Mountain and the Sorrow Swamp to form a deep defense line."

The big guys frowned, not too few, but too many.

To raise a 70,000 army in such a remote place, the grain and supplies supplied every year are simply astronomical. You should know that starting from the counterattack of the southern continent, the supply of the 300,000 army almost drained every grain of grain and every copper coin in the treasury of various countries.

The big head in this was given by Lordaeron. This is why Lordaeron was eager to annex Ultraman to compensate for his losses.

Even if you start supplying from the East Elvin Forest, think about passing the Red Ridge Mountains full of maned dogs and werewolfs; there are orcs hiding everywhere, and the sad swamp that becomes extremely dangerous due to swamp tigers, mud pond monsters, and crocodiles and other multi-toothed monsters. This long and dangerous supply line is enough to make any king numb.

Ryan shrugged: "Don't look at me, you ask Duke. It's the limit to the Storm's ability to produce so many people. As a king, I wish I could devote every young and strong to the reconstruction of the country."

When everyone turned their eyes to Duke, Duke moved his fingers and prepared to demonstrate.

Dai Lin suddenly said: "Wait! Are we..."

King Dailin's meaning is very clear, whether you need to go to a map room or conference room or something. After all, even if you are apart more than ten meters away, there are still many people listening to what they say with their ears. Especially for the elf ranger, the distance of more than ten meters is not a problem at all.

Duke waved his hand casually: "This is not a problem, not to mention that the guests who will be invited are the cornerstones of the alliance. We don't need to hide what we want to do from anyone."

Duke's words made every king and every guest who heard this feel warm.

What is demeanor?

This is demeanor!

It's really hard to imagine that Duke is only 17 years old this year.

In a chaotic world, heroes emerge in many ways.

This is true. Heroes who can gather the power of the three major races of eleven countries to fight against foreign enemies in such a chaotic situation are not worthy of being a false reputation.

In everyone's heart, Duke quietly wrote the word "admiration".

Duke raised his wine glass: "For the real alliance. For the safety of Azeroth!"

This is a toast!

"For the real alliance, for the safety of Azeroth!" Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all.

The next moment, Duke took the bottle from Ilushia who came to help, and instead poured the wine into the glass, he poured it into the void.

The wine floated in the air under the support of arcane energy, and in the surprised eyes of all the kings, it turned into a sand table that rolled according to the real terrain and highlands.

Everyone saw the Elvin Forest, the Red Ridge Mountains, the Swamp of Sorrow and the Curse Land.

Then a golden belt set out from Stormwind City, running through four areas, and came to the northeastern highlands where the cursed land was now camped by the Griffon Legion.

"This is..." Soras murmured to himself.

Then Duke pointed his finger, and one part of the strap quickly magnified countless times, turning it into a model the size of a water tank in front of the kings.

At first glance, it was a huge iron lump, a bit like a dwarf's steam tank.

McGonie thought of something, but was not sure.

Duke's deep voice affirmed Magni's conjecture: "Technology changes the world. The steam tanks that the Iron Fort dwarves like to use have given me a lot of inspiration. What if I use steam tanks to carry people and supplies?"

"Hey, it's not me that I can blow, a tank can pull at least five troikas of people or cargo."

Lothar stimulated Magni a little: "Don't say I didn't remind everyone, the chances of dwarfs being stuck are super high. I've seen many steam tanks stop by themselves halfway, all relying on the dwarf infantry to push them from behind."

For a moment, Magni blushed and everyone burst into laughter.

Duke waved his hand: "That's because the terrain is too bad. Steam tanks are not suitable for all terrain today, and can only exert their power on solid soil plains."

"I'm saying this! As long as the baby of Iron Fort can go to that damn red land, we will be invincible!" The dwarf can blow, and the dwarf king can blow even more.

"Then what do you mean?" Ryan was also curious.

"Train! A kind of transport that starts with a modified dwarf steam engine, walks on a fixed track, can transport at least two thousand fully armed soldiers, or 100 tons of supplies at a time, and that's what I want to tell you."

"This...is this possible?" Soras was stunned.

"Two thousand eight hundred years ago, you told the Great that there would be a huge ark of 150 yards long that could carry three hundred people. Do you think the Soladin land would believe it at that time?"

Duke's rebuttal made Dai Lin smile knowingly.

Yes! This is the progress of the times, this is the power of technology.

Duke then said: "I can let the [Lightning] Legion annihilate so many orcs, and I can create a experimental 'railway' for everyone to see in the middle of next year."

"Railway?" Magney asked in surprise.

"Yes, lay the rectangular wood side by side in muddy and not strong enough, and then lay two steel tracks on it to ensure the route of the steam locomotive. Although it loses flexibility, it can ensure its speed and safety and reduce the vibration of the steam engine." (To be continued.)
