World of Warcraft: Reviving Stromgarde - Chapter 241
c237 ambition to conquer
Both the Vrykul and the Proto-Dragon are much stronger than the Dwarves and the Griffin, but the Vrykul have been sleeping for countless thousands of years, and the Proto-Dragon is equally wild and untamable. Therefore, in terms of tacit cooperation with the mount, the Vrykul Proto-Dragon Rider is not as good as the Dwarf Griffin Rider.
The Vrykul Dragon Reaver Clan at its peak would be a powerful opponent of the Dwarf Wildhammer Clan, but they have just awakened and have no ability to challenge the Dwarf Griffin Rider who had fought against the Orc Dragonhoul Clan Red Dragon Rider in the two Orc Wars.
“Even the Red Dragon was defeated by us, what are a group of beasts? Griffin Riders, tell these barbarians who is the sky overlord of Azeroth!” After the Grand Lord Falstad shot down a Vrykul Proto-Dragon Rider with a Storm Hammer, he raised his warhammer and shouted.
The Red Dragon Rider of the Orc Dragonmaw Clan, the Void Dragon Rider of the Fel Orc Dragonmaw Clan, and now the Vrykul Proto-Dragon Rider, fighting the Dragon Rider seems to have become the mission of the Wildhammer Dwarves.
This difficult mission would be beyond the capability of other races, but the open-minded Wildhammer Dwarves regard it as an honor. They will use themselves and their beloved griffins to prove that dwarves can also dominate the sky.
The Wildhammer Dwarf Griffin Knights, who have experienced hundreds of battles and have a lot of experience in aerial combat, successfully defeated the Proto-Dragon Knights of the Vrykul in the air. From time to time, Vrykul and Proto-Dragon fell from the sky of Valgarde.
Having won the victory in the sky, it is naturally impossible to relax on the ground. Garin personally led the Thoradin Legion to attack the Vrykul who attacked Valgarde.
The Thoradin Legion followed Garin to defeat countless powerful enemies. Even the Scourge, the Burning Legion and the Ahn’Qiraj bugs were defeated one after another. What are the Vrykul compared to other forces?
With a large number, can you be more than the undead and bugs? With strong power, can you be stronger than demons such as the Abyss Lord?
With this idea in mind, the warriors of the Thoradin Legion were fearless and launched a fierce attack on the Vikus who were taller, stronger and more ferocious than them.
The individual combat power of the Vikus was indeed very strong, but they only knew how to fight bravely and fiercely, and they did not understand the importance of fighting together.
After adapting to the Vikus’ fighting style, the warriors of the Thoradin Legion formed two or three teams without orders, and fought against the Vikus together.
Two fists cannot beat four hands, and a good tiger cannot fight a pack of wolves. The Vikus could only end up defeated in front of the Thoradin Legion.
However, there was no word “escape” in the dictionary of the Vikus, which made the battle continue until all the Vikus who came to attack this time were killed.
Garin stood in a pile of Vikus corpses, wiped Strom’kar in his hand, and then said disdainly, “In addition to not being afraid of death, ogres know how to fight together better than you.”
It sounds like an insult, but what Garin said is indeed the truth. Although ogres, like pig-headed people, are classified as intelligent creatures with low intelligence, they at least know the role of fighting together, and they are not like the Vrykul who are completely meaningless and send themselves to death.
“Priest, disinfect the wounds for the soldiers, don’t wrap them with bandages directly, otherwise the rust in the Vrykul weapons will invade the soldiers’ bodies.” Because the sleeping time is too long, even if the Vrykul are good at forging weapons, they can still be used after such a long time, but there is a layer of rust without care and maintenance.
Such weapons have tetanus enchantments, and coupled with the climate of Northrend, they must be paid attention to. Every soldier in the Thoradin Legion is an elite who has fought a hundred battles, and Garin does not want to lose personnel for this reason.
After Leoric, who was with the army, respectfully heard Garin’s order, he immediately went to instruct the priests in charge of healing, and at the same time directed the cleaning of the Vrykul corpses outside Valgarde.
With this experienced old duke helping the army, Garin saved a lot of time and made the originally complicated military affairs easier.
You should know that at the beginning of the Thoradin Legion, almost everything needed to be handled by Garin alone.
Garin recruited the tavern built by the colonists of Howling Fjord in Valgarde as a temporary command post. In addition to this unique tavern, the rest of the buildings in Valgarde are military buildings and camps.
Humans are the race that is best at colonization in Azeroth. After the establishment of the Seven Kingdoms, there are still fearless colonists who went to Northrend to start a new colony.
The colonists of Howling Fjord were naturally threatened by the Scourge, so some of them came to Valgarde to seek shelter here and settled down. They used their cooking and brewing abilities to build this tavern.
On the command platform made up of two tables, a map of Howling Fjord drawn by the Lordaeron Kingdom troops of Valgarde was spread out.
The Howling Fjord is generally highland terrain, with only a few lands being river impact plains like Valgarde, and the remaining 80% of the land is on a high slope nearly a thousand meters high.
Valgarde is located right in the middle of the Howling Fjord. In order to accommodate the large expeditionary force of the Covenant, Garin said, “Liam, Tanred, the task of building new fortresses on both sides of the Howling Fjord is left to you. The camps in Valgarde are limited and cannot accommodate our large expeditionary force. Building camps on both sides can also help us share the pressure of the Vrykul.”
“On land, the Kul Tirans are also fearless. The Knights of Embers are ready to face the challenge.”
“The artillery of Gilneas will tell those barbarians the power of civilization and technology.”
Admiral Tanred and King Liam directly accepted Garin’s arrangement. Although they were both the rulers of a country, they were still convinced by Garin, the supreme commander of the Azeroth coalition.
The legions of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras and the Kingdom of Gilneas did not enter the Dagger Bay. After all, the bay between the two lands could not accommodate the huge Covenant fleet, and the port of Valgarde could not stay.
Garin told Tanred and Liam about the ancient elevator, so that the legions of Kul Tiras and Gilneas could land directly on the land of Howling Fjord.
Otherwise, at an altitude of nearly a thousand meters, it would be too slow to transport troops and supplies with flying mounts.
After Tanred and Liam returned to the fleet, Garin looked at the huge Utgard Castle in the north of Valgarde from the balcony of the tavern.
Every ambitious man will have an idea after seeing Utgard Castle, that is, to conquer it and turn it into his own castle.
In addition to ambition, Galen decided to conquer Utgard Keep for a more important reason, which was that only the plains under Utgard Keep could serve as a port to accommodate the landing of the Covenant Fleet.
Strategically, only by conquering Utgard Keep could they control the entire Howling Fjord, and then use Howling Fjord as a springboard to attack Icecrown Glacier and kill the Scourge in one fell swoop.
