Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 482: Tanks

At this point, the only thing supporting the soldiers of the Scarlet Crusade is spirit and glory.

The mages in the entire rear formation have begun to evacuate, and the only ones who can provide support to the main formation are a small number of high elf ranger archers.

If nothing unexpected happens and the situation continues like this, soon this meritorious army will disappear forever.

Only Duke knew that this was not an easy task. Because the defeat of the Scarlet Crusade would not only mean the disappearance of everything it had in the past, but also its reputation and the head of the Mograine family. If Alexandros Mograine and Abendis died here, then all the Scarlet Crusades that would have appeared in history would have completely perished on this land.

Yes, the Legion is just a military unit, but the Scarlet Crusade is a fanatical military organization.

The famous Scarlet Crusade continued to appear in the history of Azeroth until decades later when the war was raging.

"This won't work! Duke, let us dwarves go!" Magni Bronzebeard shouted anxiously.

How many tribes can 40,000 dwarf warriors destroy in a field battle? fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

It will definitely not be less, but it will definitely not be more.

Duke raised his chin and smiled wickedly, "Dear Magni, don't you think this is the right time to use the secret technique I taught you?"

"Could it be that?!"

"Yes! That's it!"

Secret technique - blitzkrieg!

"Oh! A toast to our great Mother Rock. You finally remembered them." Magni, this crooked guy, actually took out a narrow iron wine bottle from his waist and took a sip of dwarven liquor.

Three red flares finally rose above Magni's chariot. Behind the dwarf infantry, a rumbling mechanical sound suddenly sounded.

Duke's facial muscles twitched. This sound felt worse than the tractor in the countryside before the crossing.

All right!

Technology promotes civilization! I will accept it even if it is broken again.

When 40,000 dwarf warriors formed a dense formation to resist the attack of the orcs who were attacking in groups, the dwarf steam tank army finally arrived.

"Woo-woo--" That was the sound of the whistle that made Duke's balls hurt and made the dwarves excited.

Can you tell me why tanks have whistles like steam trains?

The steam tank arrived with billowing black smoke.

This world has pseudoscience that Duke can't understand. When the dwarves process things, due to the lack of industrial foundation, the precision of parts is very unreliable. However, the dwarves can ignore the basic principles of steel forging technology and can manually make long and tough steel that should only be made by modern high-tech industry.

This was the new steam tank named 'Panzer IV' at Duke's insistence, which was tougher, had thicker armor, stronger driving force, and a thicker gun barrel.

In addition to the two rows of huge steel wheels of the traditional steam tank, it also used tracks made by dwarf craftsmen according to Duke's request. In theory, as long as it has enough power, the new steam tank can completely overcome any complex terrain. And Duke clearly told the dwarves that as long as one side of the track is braked, the tank can complete the turning action.

Looking at the huge steel bunker-like buildings passing by him, Duke suddenly felt an incomparable sense of pride.

"Perhaps, by cooperating with the dwarves, we can come up with a lot of advanced technologies in less than ten years."

As soon as he finished speaking, Duke saw a steam tank as tall as a floor lying not far from him.

Just when Duke thought that a few dwarf craftsmen would jump out to repair something, he suddenly saw a lot of short and thick hairy legs appearing on the bottom of the tank.

Then, with the sound of "one, two, three", the steam tank, whose chimney had long stopped emitting billowing black smoke, continued to charge at a speed that was no less than that of its compatriots!

"..." The great inventor Du's face instantly fell.

"Hahaha!" Magni laughed. "We dwarves are not those idiotic goblins. We can always solve any problem."

The effect is obvious.

It is true that many of the Alliance's recruits are farmers, but the Horde's is not much better. There are not many Bleeding Hollow orcs left after the siege of Ironforge. The newly arrived Horde recruits are obviously inferior to the elite veterans who have experienced the Draenei War in terms of physique and combat power. The most important thing is that most of these young men who have just reached adulthood are unsophisticated and have never seen the world.

Baron Geddon and the red dragon had already frightened them. When they saw the sudden and huge iron lump, the word "confused" was written on each of their faces.

"Don't be afraid! These things are easier to destroy than human houses!" An old soldier of the Blood Hollow Clan rushed forward with a wooden stake and hit the new version of the steam tank, the Panzer IV, on the head.

"Bang!" A loud noise.

When Duke requested that the front armor of the tank be increased to 200 millimeters, the heartless dwarf craftsmen, due to poor workmanship, simply covered it with two layers of 200 millimeters armor.

The result of a round of heavy blows was an inconspicuous dent on the front of the tank.

Then, the guy who rushed up was stabbed to death.

That's right, Duke required that the front armor of the tank must be equipped with rams and spikes.

The guy who boasted that the new tanks would still fall apart like before paid the price with his life.

the Horde's new recruits were suddenly a little scared.

The dwarf squad commander on the steam tank yelled, "Fire!"

The next moment, fire burst out from the firing holes surrounding the entire steam tank. Several orcs who surrounded the tank and tried to attack it from the side were shot in the head by the dwarves' thick-barreled muskets.

Three seconds later, the gun mounted on the tank opened fire.

In that huge semicircular armored turret, there was a large-caliber mortar. Duke originally wanted to put a three-pound gun on it, but unfortunately in this era without a recoil device, the reaction force of even a small-caliber gunfire could easily cause the tank to fall apart. He could only settle for the next best thing and use a simpler mortar.

That's right, just put the cannonball into a sturdy barrel filled with black gunpowder, ignite it, and the next second, only God knows where the big iron ball will fly to.

Even though the new Panzer IV had all sorts of problems and terrible pseudo-technology, these crazy charging iron lumps really stunned the orcs.
