There is no doubt that with the successful raid on Argus by Illidan and Maiev Shadowsong, the war between the two sides has completely evolved into an oversized "center bloom" tactic.
Especially after the Thirty-Second Legion led by Tok was fully deployed and built its defenses, it was like a nail driven into the enemy's heart.
He doesn't even need to take the initiative to attack, as long as he holds firmly, he can make the Burning Legion miserable.
Because Argus is so important.
This is not only the main base where the demons of the Burning Legion are reborn after death, but the Burning Throne located at the core of the planet also stores the souls of all the Titans of the Pantheon, and absolutely no mistakes are allowed.
But the problem is that Sargeras gave Kil'jaeden a death order before he disappeared, and he must keep the Legion's portal in Azeroth at all costs.
So now he is in a dilemma.
On the one hand, the battlefield of Mount Hyjal must be heavily defended; on the other hand, troops must be mobilized to block the demonic Astartes army that has formed a large scale and possesses advanced weapons and combat experience in the interstellar era.
Especially the latter, it simply gives fraudsters an unprecedented headache.
The previous nuclear bombing almost destroyed the last large-scale mobile force of the Burning Legion, so now he can only demolish the east wall to repair the west wall.
What's even more terrible is that Xiorui has begun to strategically oppress the Burning Legion throughout the universe with the powerful command ability she has already developed.
This Dark Judge doesn't care about the gains and losses of one or two planets or a few galaxies, but specializes in attacking those portal nodes that are indispensable to the Burning Legion.
Each loss means that the Burning Legion has completely lost control of the area and can no longer send reinforcements.
The remaining garrison will be overwhelmed by New Phyrexia's endless cannon fodder.
How many years!
The Burning Legion has always used endless demons and cannon fodder to overwhelm its opponents, and has never been overwhelmed by its opponents using human sea tactics.
Even the Lich King and his Scourge Legion, which could continue to grow like a snowball, have never exceeded the number of the legion's garrison on any occupied planet.
The most outrageous thing is that the other party has achieved all-round transcendence in magic, technology, and weapons and equipment.
Many times, the fel artillery of the Burning Legion has not even entered the range, and the saturation bombardment of New Phyrexia will fall from the sky. Often, it will be torn to pieces by the dense and ferocious long-range firepower before it can even reach the front.
Even if teleportation magic is used to directly launch a surprise attack, there is often no way to gain any advantage in close combat.
This is why Tok commented that the Legion fought too many asymmetric wars.
In fact, the technology and weapons of the Burning Legion are very deformed, as if primitive people were suddenly forcibly brought into the modern military system, and there is a sense of fragmentation everywhere.
For example, they clearly have space battleships and even things like satellite fortresses, but the range of most long-range weapons does not exceed ten kilometers.
But this is not difficult to understand.
After all, the Burning Legion is mainly composed of chaotic demons from the Twisting Nether, as well as the Eredar later recruited by Sargeras, and the natives hatched on various planets.
Among them, even the Eredar civilization, which has developed to a very high level, is still far from entering the space age, and its main research direction is still magic rather than natural science.
In addition, after the Burning Legion was established, it basically became the dominant force in the physical universe, and there was no second force that could compete with it.
So they obviously have a lot of very powerful technologies, but the things they create are full of goblin-like roughness, and they haven't made much progress in tens of thousands of years.
Anyway, today's weapons and equipment are sufficient, so naturally there is no motivation to continue investing resources in more in-depth research and development.
Compared with the improvement of weapons and equipment and overall strength, high-level demons are more concerned about how to make themselves stronger.
Although the previous defeat in the battle with New Phyrexia had aroused the vigilance of high-level officials, two years was obviously not enough time to develop anything that could change the situation of the war.
At best, they have developed some long-range artillery that relies on fel energy as propulsion to fire, and stuff the energy of the fel artillery into physical shells to shoot farther.
But the problem is that in the face of a dense defense and control firepower network, these not-so-fast shells are often intercepted before they fall, and are unable to cause effective damage to a large area.
At this moment, Kil'jaeden, who was personally in charge of Azeroth, was looking through the various reports in his hand that were either urgent or requesting reinforcements, and his face was so gloomy that he was almost dripping with water.
Finally, he threw the reports on the table and roared angrily: "Isn't there any good news at all?"
"I'm extremely sorry, great deceiver. The current situation of the legion is indeed not optimistic. Especially the enemy suddenly tore up the armistice agreement without warning, catching us by surprise."
An eredar lieutenant quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at the other person's eyes filled with green evil energy.
Because not long ago, several commanders who failed to fight well and even had their entire army wiped out were severely punished, and some were even sent to horrific interrogation rooms and tortured.
You must know that Argus was attacked by the enemy, which caused a direct explosion within the Burning Legion, and was even regarded as the biggest shame since its establishment.
After all, only the Burning Legion has always invaded other planets. When has my hometown been invaded?
In addition, Tok's desperate throwing of a large number of nuclear warheads also frightened the top brass of the Legion.
If there are enough such weapons in reserve, it is really possible for the opponent to push to the Burning Throne deep in the earth's core.
If the Dark Titan Sargeras is alerted by then, everyone will be left with nothing to eat.
"What I want now is not an excuse! It's action! It's a solution!"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Kil'jaeden knocked on the table hard to express his strong dissatisfaction.
Although he is not as impatient as Archimonde, he can even allow his subordinates to make mistakes and fail to a certain extent, but he will never allow them to be incompetent.
In his eyes, the current performance of the Burning Legion on all fronts is complete incompetence.
The eredar adjutant argued helplessly: "This is not an excuse, but a cruel reality. In this war, we are completely at a disadvantage both in terms of quantity and quality. And the enemy is obviously interested in the legion's tactics.
After detailed research, in other words we were targeted."
"Then you mean we can only sit back and wait for death?"
Kil'jaeden raised his head and glared at the other party.
"No, of course not." Adjutant Ereda quickly shook his head. "What I mean is that it is obviously unwise to defend a front that is leaking in all directions like this. It will waste too much manpower in a meaningless manner. In contrast,
I prefer to concentrate our forces to solve the most difficult problems first."
"You mean... choose a place between Azeroth and Argus as a battlefield to attract enemies to a decisive battle?"
Kil'jaeden clearly understood what his men wanted to express, and he touched his chin and began to think about the feasibility of this plan.
Although it is not clear why New Phyrexia suddenly tore up the armistice agreement and launched an attack, since there has been no trace of Zuo Si himself so far, he couldn't help but feel lucky, thinking that it should be the commander's hope.
Ou Rui is up to something.
This means that until the bosses of both parties show up, the game will still remain within an acceptable and controllable range.
As long as we can win victory on one of the two key battlefields or force the other side to abandon its original strategic goals, it should be possible to restart negotiations and reach an armistice again.
As long as the Burning Legion is given enough time, it won't take long to change this unfavorable situation.
The eredar adjutant reminded with a sinister and cunning expression: "Please don't forget that the spies we have planted within various races in Azeroth, as well as the satyrs transformed from night elves. As long as they are used properly, they can definitely give
The other party caused a lot of trouble."
"Taking advantage of Azeroth's native power? Sounds like a good idea."
Kil'jaeden was obviously moved.
After all, instead of guarding the portal here and waiting for enemies to attack one after another, it is better to take the initiative and see if you can make some small moves behind the scenes.
Regardless of whether it is successful or not, it will ultimately play a constraining role to a certain extent.
After figuring this out, he immediately started sending people to contact the Dread Lords, Succubi, Satyrs, and Warlocks who had defected to the Legion scattered across Azeroth.
You must know that although the Lich King and Scourge in Northrend were taken away by Zuo Si, the undead stranded in the Eastern and Western Plaguelands have not disappeared.
Quite the opposite.
Under the leadership of the Dread Lord, they are still fighting against the Kingdom of Lordaeron led by Calia, preventing them from recovering the Eastern and Western Plaguelands.
In addition, satyrs are a cancer that has existed on the continent of Kalimdor since the end of the War of the Ancients.
Although they are scattered in different places in small groups, if they can be gathered together, they can make a lot of noise.
As for the groups of warlocks hidden within various races, as long as they promise to give them more taboo knowledge after things are accomplished, they can basically do it without any bottom line.
Although there may be a few warlocks who are still loyal to their own race, most of them are Gul'dan who abandon their identity in pursuit of power and completely sell their country and race to the Burning Legion.
In short, based on the principle of waste utilization, Kil'jaeden needs them to take action immediately.
But what he didn't know was that Zuo Si had been staying in the royal capital of Lordaeron as a guest since he returned from the Twisting Nether.
Right now, he was standing on the top floor of the palace, looking down at the entire city.
Although this place was once occupied by the undead of the Scourge, as the queen, Calia has long since successfully recovered it. It is currently being cleaned and rebuilt, and busy people can be seen everywhere on the streets.
If nothing unexpected happens, this severely damaged city will be completely renewed in a few months at most.
After all, most of the civilians managed to escape.
