Volume 6: The World of Rebellion Chapter 307: Luxurious Military Parade
The grand military parade has finally begun.
At the management desk, a dwarf announcer shouted into the loudspeaker.
"Welcome to the capital of Lordaeron. Next, the elite troops of Lordaeron will pass by you one by one. They are the guardians of the kingdom and defenders of the Alliance. Facing the orcs, these loyal and brave soldiers will defend the glory of the Alliance and the safety of the people!
The first to appear was the powerful Seventh Infantry Legion! They were well-equipped and well-trained, and were an important part of the Lordaeron army.
Rows of tin-can-like infantry marched forward. Although they were only infantry of the kingdom, Lordaeron was indeed a wealthy country. Even the soldiers were wearing plate armor suits, just like tin cans. Although the appearance was not as cool as the knight's armor, it could also be said to be well protected. Compared with the standard infantry of other kingdoms, they had an additional feature of "heavy defense" and their level had reached 28. As a second-level soldier, it was almost close to the top configuration.
Leaders from various countries at the management desk began to whisper and exchange opinions.
Murphy shook his head when he saw it. Orc infantry basically used battle axes and were armor-piercing units per capita, so such thick armor was actually of little significance.
"The next to appear is the Kingdom Crossbow Cavalry Corps. They come and go like the wind and are excellent support cavalry."
Rows of white horses and light cavalry carrying crossbows and swords came in formation. The culture of the alliance countries was very similar to that of the medieval West. There were almost no cavalry archers, but there were crossbow cavalry.
Murphy nodded. This thing is not bad. It can be used to kite against orc infantry, but if it encounters a wolf knight, it will probably be in great danger - the melee weapon is too poor, and once involved in close combat, it will definitely be slaughtered.
"The next to appear is the feudal knights of Lordaeron. They remember the knight's creed and fight for glory."
This is the top-level force of the seven human nations - the feudal knights, composed of the knights under the command of various nobles. They are armored, armed with spears and strong shields. Their collective charge on the battlefield is unstoppable. They are standard level 4 soldiers.
The feudal knights of Lordaeron still maintain their tyrannical style. Their war horses are tall and mighty, their armor is bright and dazzling, and their weapons are shining with cold light. At first glance, they are top-grade goods with mithril added. Perhaps they even have advanced troop characteristics such as "sharp weapons" and "enhanced charge".
"Next is the Tirisfal Archer Corps. They grew up in the forest and have amazing archery skills. They are a powerful long-range troop."
Teams of archers wearing dark green cloaks and holding longbows and scimitars came in formation, all with hoods covering their faces, giving off a mysterious vibe.
The Tirisfal Archers are a group of archer troops trained by Lordaeron with reference to the elves of Quel'Thalas. It is said that elven rangers were hired at high salaries to help with the training. Although they are a little inferior to the elven archers, they are also a very good ranged unit.
"Next is the Stansor Heavy Crossbowmen Legion..."
"Next is the Darrowmire Swordsman Corps..."
Teams of soldiers with different configurations kept marching along King's Avenue, overwhelming the spectators on both sides and the people on the management stand.
Lordaeron is a vast territory, and each type of military force has its own characteristics. Different regions often have their own special military forces. At this time, these military forces are displayed one by one, not only showing off military power, but also demonstrating the powerful national strength of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
"Next up is the Royal Musketeer Guards!"
Hundreds of human and dwarf musketeers came in formation, and this time they finally caused a commotion.
Although the troops that appeared before were elite, they were all within everyone's expectations. However, the musket is a specialty weapon of the dwarves, and it was unexpected that Lordaeron also began to equip it, and even had dwarves serving directly in the legion.
The senior officials of various countries at the management table could not help but turn their eyes to Muradin Bronzebeard, the dwarf prince from Ironforge.
The King of the Hill said confidently, "What are you looking at? We are allies. As long as you pay me enough, I can sell it to you."
"Next up is the Royal Griffin Legion of Lordaeron. They take to the sky with the wind and are the overlords of the sky!"
In the sky, hundreds of griffin riders cast a shadow.
Huge griffins flew by in formation, with an awe-inspiring momentum.
Now everyone turned their attention to Prince Falstad of Eagle's Nest Mountain.
Griffins are strategic resources and the most powerful type of soldiers in Eagle's Nest Mountain. Can they be sold randomly?
Falstad looked helpless. "There are also griffins in Lordaeron. We just provided a few trainers to Lordaeron in exchange for some resources."
Rodman (Grand Mage): "Humph, stupid and short-sighted, you dwarves are indeed short-sighted. You handed over strategic weapons to others for a little bit of supplies. No wonder your empire fell apart and declined."
The speaker was the elven envoy from Quel'Thalas. The elves were known for their arrogance and sharp tongue, so what he said was quite consistent with his personality.
"Next up are the Royal Dragonhawk Knights of Lordaeron. They are magic knights who can cast magic in the air! They can spread fire and death in the air."
An eagle cry was heard in the sky, and dozens of dragon eagle knights flew by quickly .
Now everyone looked at Rodman again. Dragonhawks are a specialty of Quel'Thalas, and they are not found in Lordaeron.
Rodman showed no shame at all. "Don't look at me like that. We exchanged the dragon eagle eggs for precious magic metals. This is a normal military exchange between allies."
"The next to appear are the Lordaeron Battle Mage Corps. They are powerful spellcasters on the battlefield and magicians born for battle!"
Although Lordaeron already had court mages, this was the first time a large-scale mage force appeared. When these battle mages appeared, they were immediately recognized as they were obviously very similar to the battle mage configuration of Dalaran.
Antonidas simply spread his hands - "They gave too much."
Everyone looked at each other in silence. They had never expected that the Kingdom of Lordaeron had become so powerful. Not only was it strong in national power and military might, but it had also acquired the advantageous technologies of various forces through trade and bribery. In the long run, it might have become the de facto master of the alliance.
You have to know that Lordaeron has 150,000 regular troops alone. If you include the militia forces from all over the country, if they recruit soldiers with all their strength, they can gather more than 300,000 troops, which is completely incomparable to other kingdoms.
Now that we have such a powerful force, what else can we do?
For a moment, everyone was worried and anxious.
Next came the display of the military forces of various countries.
The distinctive arms of each country were displayed one by one in the military parade.
The Windrunner Rangers from Quel'Thalas.
Dwarven Kingdom Guard from Ironforge.
A horn from Stromgarde calls for the rangers.
Marines from Kul Tiras...
Although they are all powerful troops, they are obviously not as good as the complete troop configuration of Lordaeron.
Everyone has a vague feeling that at the next alliance meeting, they will probably be suppressed by Lordaeron.
"The next ones to appear are the Dragon Knights from Alterac. They have just defeated the orc army that invaded Alterac. The Dragon Knights are a newly formed knight order. Let us wait and see their style."
Huh? Everyone was stunned. Isn't the national knight order of the Kingdom of Alterac the Knights of the North Wind? Why did they change?
Although there were only 600 Dragon Knights, they were divided into three waves.
The first is the dragon-mounted heavy cavalry unit.
Two hundred heavily-armored knights wearing dragon-scale armor and holding dragon-bone spears marched in formation. The equipment style of the dragon-armored heavy cavalry was primitive yet domineering. The shining dragon scales and ferocious dragon bones formed a strong impression of style.
Immediately, everyone present cried out in surprise.
Those who knew what was good could recognize the origin of the equipment at a glance.
Dragon scales have powerful defensive and anti-magic effects, and weapons made of dragon bones have armor-piercing properties. Heavy cavalry is originally an advantageous type of troops on the battlefield. The only force that can restrain them is the mage unit, but the dragon-clad heavy cavalry is not even afraid of magic. It's scary just to think about it.
But it’s not over yet.
Next, the dragon-blooded giant warrior appeared.
Three hundred shirtless, muscular, strong men, all with big beards and pigtails like the Highlanders, each holding a two-meter-long pure steel sword, walked in a row, looking very domineering.
The dragon-blooded giant warrior, having bathed in dragon blood, is obviously larger than an ordinary person, and his shirtless appearance creates an amazing visual impact.
The next to appear is the Dragon Rider Patrol Legion!
Leading the team were the eleven Dragon Thunder Knights, who summoned lightning in the air as they flew. A hundred storm dragons flew collectively through the air amid thunder, and their momentum was no weaker than that of the Griffin Knights.
There were three extraordinary soldiers at once, which shocked everyone present.
The Kingdom of Alterac is about to take off. Is it still the poor mountain country at the bottom of the Alliance?
Murphy looked at the shocked reactions of the crowd and thought that the money was not wasted after all. It was worth it. He spent five million to build this extraordinary army. The upgrade cost of these six hundred extraordinary soldiers alone cost nearly two hundred thousand gold coins, plus the cost of purchasing materials, a full five million RMB was spent.
With so much money, you can get two legendary weapons.
But I have to say that having 600 top-notch troops like this is much cooler than carrying two orange weapons.
It's like the difference between a million dollar luxury car and a million dollar watch.
The alliance leaders on the viewing stand were all shocked, and even Godwin was envious.
The extraordinary military force is indeed powerful.
The Dragon Knights... Humph, isn't it just that they have mastered the power of dragon thunder? It doesn't matter. Once the Silver Hand Knights who master the power of holy light are established, only more extraordinary soldiers will be unlocked.
Only extraordinary power can create extraordinary troops. In this regard, Godwin, who is a chosen one of the Holy Light, also has the conditions to do so.
I just didn't expect someone else to get there so soon.
(As long as I become the king of Lordaeron, everything will be fine.)
He was thinking in his mind, but his eyes were looking towards the direction of the palace. What was the situation on Varian's side?
At this time, Antonidas suddenly asked, "Prince Godwin, why didn't His Majesty Terenas come?"
Godwin smiled modestly and said, "Before leaving, my father suddenly received a request for an audience with Prince Varian. He seemed very anxious, so my father decided to meet with Prince Varian first before coming. I think it should be done soon."
At this moment—dang dang block!
The alarm bell suddenly rang in the direction of the palace, and everyone looked towards the palace in surprise.
Arthas's face changed, "Oh no, my father is in danger!"
