The biting cold wind howled by, and under the dim moonlight, the huge Sasteel barrier reflected a strange light. Near the assembly area not far away, the area that was supposed to be the training ground for natural disaster soldiers was filled with Alliance soldiers.
Looking carefully at the tents of the He tribe, there are many white tents distributed in the blue and red ocean, cleverly separating the two different forces, and the silver sun wheel logo on them clearly shows that they are
Identity——Silver Northern Expedition
The Wrathgate incident severed the original tacit understanding between the Horde and the Alliance. Whether it was the loss of the elite regiment or the death of Duke Bolvar, Varian felt thunderous and furious. He originally planned to suspend the march into the North and instead gather troops.
Attack the culprit, the Undercity, and let the Forsaken taste the wrath of the Alliance.
However, at this moment, Jaina rushed from Theramore to Dauntless Fortress with Thrall's autographed letter, and explained the cause and effect of the incident to Varian. However, even so, the furious King of Storm still did not intend to
Give up the use of troops against Lordaeron
In desperation, Jaina had no choice but to reveal the actions of Regan and others to Varian, which made him give up the idea of breaking with the tribe. On the other hand, the Alliance's small expedition team on the Storm Peaks brought people a
Long-lost good news - Alliance hero Muradin Bronzebeard, who was thought to have died long ago, is still alive.
More than ten years ago, the brother of the dwarf king was ordered to come to Northrend to survey the terrain for future wars. However, their whereabouts were accidentally discovered by natural disasters and they were heavily surrounded.
A few weeks later, the human prince Arthas, who was chasing the Dread Lord Mel'Ganis, came here and accidentally encountered the besieged dwarf expedition. So he led his men to attack and annihilated this small force of undead.
Rescued his former swordsmanship instructor
After learning of Arthas's intentions, Muradin agreed to help him find the whereabouts of the Dread Lord. The next few battles went very smoothly, and they penetrated deep into the heart of the Storm Peaks without encountering any resistance - but that was not the case.
Just what Mel'Ganis in the dark expected
Like an unsuspecting prey walking into a trap step by step, Alsace also gradually slipped towards its already destined fate: first, the undead army suddenly appeared and surrounded them heavily. The protracted battle failed to repel the enemy, but instead
The prince's expeditionary force suffered heavy casualties.
In order to reverse the situation, Muradin informed Arthas of a legend about the magic sword that he had heard. Although he himself was not sure whether it could be the key to solving the problem, the dwarf still had the attitude of trying his best - and sure enough, the young man
The prince agreed to his suggestion without thinking.
What happened next was as described by the soldiers who escaped: Arthas pulled out the magic sword that the Lich King had prepared for him for a long time, and the shock wave caused by breaking the seal also knocked Muradin aside.
Everyone, including Arthas, thought he was dead
But in fact, Muradin did not fall. After being knocked down by the power of Frostmourne, Muradin fell into a coma in Northrend for a long time, and was rescued by the "Ice Dwarf", one of the original residents of Northrend. However,
Because of the impact of that knockdown, Muradin could not remember his past at all. With his powerful strength, he helped the ice dwarves repel their enemies, the ice giants. He was elected as the leader by his fellow tribesmen in the north to "
The new name "Yog. Heart of the Storm" walks the world
Just half a month ago, an alliance expedition team entered the territory of the ice dwarves under the leadership of Brian Bronzebeard, the third brother of Muradin. The dwarves who first arrived here recognized their brother's identity at a glance.
, with the help of his flesh and blood relatives, the ice dwarf patriarch finally recalled his past and his grudges with Alsace.
In order to end all the pain that his former students had brought to the world, Muradin decided to lead the ice dwarves to join the Alliance, accepted Varian's canonization, and became the supreme commander of the Alliance army on the Icecrown front.
At this moment, under the huge Sargan barrier, Muradin was standing in a circle with several other tall figures, seeming to be discussing something intensely.
"I don't agree with this plan. It's too risky!" The person who spoke was wearing black armor and his voice was low and hoarse. It can be seen from the rune-cutting swords on both sides of his waist that he is a member of the Knights of the Ebon Blade.
Leader: Death Knight High Lord Darion Mograine
"An attack from the air can naturally catch the opponent off guard, but the interior of Icecrown Fortress is heavily defended. If the airborne troops are separated from our main force after the natural disaster has subsided, I am afraid that it will be our side that suffers!"
Dalian was born into a military family since he was a child. His acting style is very similar to that of his father, and he is extremely steady, so he strongly disapproves of Muradin's risky suggestions.
"What's there to worry about?" Muradin had the most fiery temper among the three Bronzebeard brothers. Even more than ten years of amnesia didn't change him much. He still shouted at the top of his lungs, "By my beard, those bastards
Bones would never have guessed that we would launch an attack from the sky! And even if they waited for them to react, the airborne troops would have already penetrated deep into the heart of the fortress!"
"I disagree." Dalien didn't say much, but he still shook his head stubbornly, making Muradin frown greatly. "Then what are your countermeasures, Dalien?" The white-haired old man in the middle pondered for a moment and asked, "
Icecrown Fortress is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We have paid a heavy price and cannot make any progress. If we pave the way to the top of the Ice Peak with human lives, I am afraid it will not be enough to fill us all in..."
"I also understand this, Lord Tirion," the death knight bowed his head slightly to the opponent, "but letting the airborne troops attack in vain is a waste of vitality and will never bring us any change..."
Muradin said impatiently: "How do you know it was wasted? The soldiers on the Skybreaker are all elites selected by the alliance headquarters. Even if they cannot break through the defenses of the natural disaster, they are enough to protect themselves. There is no return.
Reason?"
"Okay!" Tirion, as the supreme commander of the Silver Crusade, stopped the dispute between the two. The veteran who had fought against the Scourge for many years said in a deep voice, "The method of airborne platform is naturally good, but we must also take into account the Skybreaker.
The number of soldiers on board is not dominant. Even if the soldiers are experienced in many battles, they will never survive in an army of tens of thousands of undead..."
"So, we must increase the number of surprise attack troops!" Fording said
"Where can we find so many spacecrafts?" Muradin couldn't help but ask. "Although the Skybreaker is not small, the number of crew members is also strictly controlled. If it is too heavy, the airship will not be able to lift off at all, let alone launch a surprise attack quickly.
It’s strategic…”
Fording smiled slightly when he heard this: "It's not just the Alliance's aircraft that can soar over Icecrown Glacier... Don't forget that the Horde's Hammer of Orgrim is also always on standby."
"Those greenskins?" Muradin couldn't help but raise his voice, "I'm telling you, Great Fordring, I have no problem with you protecting them, but if those bastards who backstab people are allowed to join the army to defeat the Lich King, my hand
Warhammer is the first one who refuses to agree!"
"Don't be too stubborn, Muradin!" Tirion frowned, "In the battle at the Gate of Scourge, the tribe suffered heavy casualties. Even if it was just a show, it would not be possible. Besides..." the Paladin paused, "
Saurfang's own son also died at the hands of the Lich King, and I'm afraid the vengeful rage in his heart is no less than any of you."
"Hmph! It's your business to win over them, I don't have the intention to care about it!" Muradin said unhappily, but in the end he still did not express his objection.
"I think it's feasible..." Dallion thought for a moment and nodded slowly, "His Majesty Varian and Ms. Jaina will arrive with reinforcements in the near future. If we work together with the tribe to open the gap in the fortress before then, what will happen next?
It will definitely go more smoothly.”
Tirion nodded slightly when he heard this: "In that case, I will go to the tribe camp in person later and talk to Varok about the joint march..."
"I don't have to do anything, Lord, I've already arrived," a tough but slightly tired voice came from far away. The commander-in-chief of the Horde army, Varok Saurfang, strode over with a few followers.
, "I heard that you are discussing countermeasures to break through the fortress defense. Please forgive me for coming here uninvited."
Although everyone in the field had different positions, they all had sympathy and admiration for Saurfang: they sympathized with him because he lost his son in old age, and his only son was killed by the Lich King in full view of the public. His hair was white and his hair was black.
It is really a great misfortune to find out; but I admire that he has just experienced the pain of losing his son, but he can still not fall into the tribe's ambitions, leading a group of subordinates to fight through thorns and thorns, from the Dragon Bone Wasteland to the Icecrown Walled City.
"The Overlord is serious, we are also preparing to inform you about this matter," Fording said with a smile, "Lord Muradin suggested using an airship to airborne into the upper level of the fortress, in order to break through the iron barrel-like defense of natural disasters, but
Due to the limited air power of the Alliance, we hope that the Horde can also dispatch Orgrim's Hammer to cooperate."
"There is no shirking the responsibility." Saurfang agreed to the request of the Paladin Lord without any hesitation. "The purpose of the Horde's advance army is to kill the Lich King. There is no reason for us to fight alone with ridiculous camp prejudices."
"Well, Lord Saurfang really understands justice." Dallion glanced at Muradin pointedly. The dwarf, who was not very good-tempered, snorted angrily and turned away from looking at the death knight.
"Very good!" Tirion automatically ignored Muradin's performance and raised his voice, "Without further ado, the Skybreaker and Orgrim's Hammer will be in a state of first-level combat readiness within two hours from now.
Ready to take off and fight at any time!"
"Tell all the soldiers that the moment of decisive battle has arrived!"
