As its name suggests, the Borean Tundra gave the Alliance soldiers a showdown as soon as they landed.
Different from the warm and pleasant southern climate of Elwynn Forest, the temperature in Northrend is only below zero in summer and winter all year round. The areas closer to the interior can even reach the extreme low temperature of minus 70 or 80 degrees, even if the sun is high in the sky.
In the sky, the sunlight emitted by it is cold and cold
The Alliance soldiers who first arrived here were ignorant and thought they could experience the atmosphere of the Winter Veil Festival in advance by wearing autumn clothes. Until their hands and feet began to develop chilblains, and their pantyhose were stuck to the soles of their feet after going out on missions every day. These guys were shocked.
Then he hurriedly put on a heavy cotton coat under his armor to withstand the biting cold wind in the north.
After Varian and the army arrived in the tundra, they ordered people to strengthen the temporary advance base built by the Alliance advance army some time ago - the beachhead fortress known as Dauntless Fortress.
Because it was built in a hurry, most of the fortifications in the fortress are relatively simple, and even the city walls are extremely dilapidated. They are crumbling under the attack of the nerubians and the wizards of the Cult of the Curse on the outside. The Elwynn Forest and Red Mountains that arrived as the vanguard
The patrol force on Ridge Mountain is not strong and can only withstand the flood of attacks from the natural disaster forces.
Fortunately, the large force that arrived later did not delay for too long. The powerful firepower network composed of the main force of the Alliance Navy, the Monoregan Air Force, and the Stormwind City coastal artillery force plowed out a blank area among the undead piles surrounding the fortress.
, allowing the alliance troops arriving one after another to land smoothly.
Among the troops that followed Varian to the North this time, most of them were mercenaries and adventurers who belonged to the irregular army. Although their combat courage and spirit are absolutely unquestionable, considering the harshness of the battle in Northrend,
, Varian decided to give up the plan of a large force to advance, and instead divided the troops into two groups, each supporting the advance.
First, the northern military force composed of mercenaries and adventurers will move northeast across the tundra and approach the Wintergrasp area in the interior of Northrend, echoing the Silver Crusade currently fighting the undead in Icecrown Glacier.
Next is the Crimson Storm Regiment led by Regan and some scattered armed forces working together. Their target will be the Dragon Bone Wilderness east of the tundra. At this moment, in the burial ground of the ancient dragon, the Seventh Legion,
The main force of the Dauntless Expeditionary Force, the Scarlet Vanguard Army, the terrifying city of Naxxramas, and the natural disaster elites all gathered here, and the melee was endless.
As one of the first troops to arrive in Northrend, the Royal Stormtroopers under the command of Grand Duke Bolvar Fordragon had penetrated deep into the hinterland of the natural disaster a few months ago, defeated the undead army that was fortified in layers, and finally arrived by
Dragonblight enters Icecrown's last line of defense - Angatha, the Scourge Gate
Angathar is the first gateway to Icecrown Glacier, and it is also the strongest. The Lich King sent the terrifying Angathar deformed body and countless undead troops to guard this giant gate, even in the Dragonblight.
The largest force: Wyrmrest Temple, led by Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza, does not dare to take its lead lightly.
In addition, the Scarlet Vanguard, which was adapted from the Scarlet Crusade, also has a large number of troops stationed in New Hearthglen in the southeast. Compared with the previous senseless killings, these fanatics who claim to have received divine revelation seem to be even crazier.
Not only did they hunt and kill all the undead they could see, but they also did not let go of the mortal mercenaries and adventurers who came here, which caused a headache for the Alliance army.
But compared to the bloody madmen on the ground, the terrifying city of Naxxramas that just returned from Azeroth some time ago is undoubtedly more difficult to deal with: Kel'Thuzad launched an attack on the Alliance army with powerful airdrops, allowing the Dauntless Expedition to
The army fell into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides and could not even advance an inch for a while.
However, the Lich's arrogance only lasted for less than half a week. The sudden appearance of an Alliance army completely dispelled his wishful thinking of annihilating Fordragon's regiment - just when the Alliance army landed from the Borean Tundra in the west.
, another elite force composed of the Night's Watch, the Ironforge Mechanical Artillery Division, and the North Sea Fleet under the Alliance Navy defeated the Vrykul defenders and successfully broke into the Howling Fjord in the east of Northrend.
The Ironforge gunners who occupied the western garrison set up ultra-long-range magic cannons and launched a fierce fire attack on the flanks and rear of Naxxramas, making them unable to take care of the fortress leading from the fjord to Dragonblight.
At this moment, the main force of the Seventh Army led by General Havers Wymbane, who landed quietly, took the opportunity to tear apart the undead defense line, broke into the eastern part of the Dragonblight, and quickly occupied the important stronghold of the natural disaster - the Late Winter Fortress.
There, the powerful Seventh Legion withstood Naxxramas' attack with superior firepower and elite soldiers, and completely disrupted Kel'Thuzad's original plan, forcing the natural disaster think tank to deploy more troops.
There are too many troops to defend against the Seventh Legion's attack, and they have no time to deal with the Fordagon Corps at the Gate of Scourge.
In addition, Captain Grian Stallman, the leader of the Westfall People's Army, an old acquaintance of Reagan's who had met once in the past, also came to Northrend. He led a "people's army" composed of the People's Army and multiple militia units.
The "Moonstream Brigade" broke into the Grizzly Hills north of Howling Fjord, where they competed for many resource extraction points and important ports left by the Northrend branch of the venture capital company, while also guarding against the local area that had been occupied by the Scourge.
Corrupted Undead Frost Troll
Finally, the heart of Alsace, the Icecrown Glacier at the top of the roof of the world, is also quite uneasy: in addition to the Silver Northern Expedition led by Tirion Fordring, who is trying to break through the tight defense line of the undead, many people who are familiar with the terrain
The elite Knights of the Ebon Blade also sneaked into the Lich King's courtyard, where they carried out assassinations and sabotage operations against some high-ranking generals or key facilities.
For a time, everything in Northrend was blooming everywhere, and the power of the Lich King was dwindling, showing a momentum of rapid advancement...or at least showing a superficial invincibility.
Not everyone is optimistic about this, including Regan, who is leading his army towards Dragonblight.
Although he had only met the Lich King once, his own intuition and the soul of Sargeras warned him that the undead monarch who commanded the entire Northland was by no means a person waiting to be killed. Perhaps the decline in front of him had already been planned by Arthas.
Among them, or under his ice-covered throne, there is another more treacherous conspiracy hidden.
"Sir, all the troops in the rear group have successfully crossed the frozen river, and we are now standing on the ground in the Dragonbone Wilderness!" Herod's voice interrupted the knight's meditation. He raised his head and looked around, only to see that the scenery in front of him was compared to
The frost-covered tundra has some greenery: many native plants are actually planted in the wilderness full of frozen soil
It is said that when the Titans were created, this was a place favored by the gods. The five guardian dragons received the blessings and infinite power of the Titans here, and shouldered the great responsibility of protecting all living beings until they came to the end of their lives.
When they are about to turn into dust, the dragons will use their last strength to fly here and quietly welcome the coming of death.
"The place where the dragon fell..." Regen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the sky tens of thousands of meters away. There, a large group of crazy blue dragons were engaged in a life-and-death battle with their red-skinned compatriots, filled with dragon breath and magic.
There were bursts of thunder in the sky, accompanied from time to time by the loud noises and wails of the falling dragons.
"It seems that Malygos's madness has not improved at all," Evelin on the side withdrew her gaze and said helplessly, "I heard Master Khadgar reveal before that the crazy old dragon seemed to think that the entire world
It has been corrupted by those creatures who use magic indiscriminately, so only by destroying everything related to magic can Azeroth be completely purified..."
"Are you crazy? I don't think so," Regan slowly shook his head. "I think Malygos is more sane than anyone else, but his sobriety has brought him to another extreme, a place similar to the one hundreds of millions of years ago.
The great titan war-gods are somewhat similarly narrow-minded and extreme."
"Although Malygos realized that the world was being corrupted by some kind of force, unfortunately, the angle he took was a little biased," the knight said. "It was not magic that destroyed the world, just like in the universe.
The origin is not destruction and chaos - what pessimists see is only the half-drinked glass of water, but they ignore the remaining half of the glass."
"Why do I think you suddenly look like a philosopher?" Sophie joked.
"Because I am." Regen winked at his girlfriend and smiled at her eyes. "To be honest, many times good and evil exist in just one thought, just like sitting on the ice now.
The one on the throne, when he massacred the residents of Stratholme, perhaps his heart was filled with tragic and sad justice."
"Justice is absolute, without any negative factors, Paladin." Maiev behind her shook the Nightsaber's reins and retorted rather unhappily, "Although I don't understand what Arthas did, he
To depose a wise mentor and commander as a crown prince without authorization, and to announce the fate of the citizens of Stratholme without trial. These actions are undoubtedly trampling on the laws of a country, and he is not worthy of it in any case.'
Justice's name"
"But at that time, the citizens were all infected with the undead plague!" Evelin argued rather unconvincingly, "Do we have to wait for someone to go back and inform Lordaeron and set up a court in Stratholme to solve the problem? I'm afraid then
The plague has broken out a long time ago!"
"If I were Alsace, I would rather see those citizens turn into zombies and then impose justice on them," Maiev replied unequivocally. "Without any conclusive evidence of guilt, they still abide by the law."
Citizens, law enforcement officers have no right to pronounce their fate in that situation!"
"But..." Evelin was still about to refute, but Regen interrupted the argument between the two.
"Okay, ladies, how about you save some energy and go to the camp in front to wash your face?" The knight patted the black horse under the seat and said with a smile, "I'm afraid your fellow elves don't want to see the legendary watcher actually...
He looks so disgraced.”
Maiev and Evelin followed the words and looked around, only to see a large camp appearing in the distance in their field of vision.
