Chapter 712 Soldiers approaching the city
Perhaps Kel'Thuzad has his own purpose in pursuing the power of death and the truth, but his path has undoubtedly deviated from the right path, and no matter how many reasons there are, he cannot wash away the sins in his hands.
All Charlemagne can do is to take good care of the kitten he entrusted, and hand over his precious relic as a phylactery to the kitten he entrusted for safekeeping.
After annihilating most of the invading army in Naxxramas and Suture Field, the battlefield situation in the west of the Gate of Terror suddenly became clear.
The tauren army led by Hamuul and Barre captured the Hall of Ufran almost at the same time as the Alliance captured the Shadow Vault. So far, the entire Jotunheim has completely fallen into the hands of the ancient oath.
The Alliance and the Horde also went as planned, taking down the Iron Wall Fortress and the Weeping Excavation in succession within the next half month.
On a small hill next to the tribal camp on the Battlefield Plain, Goyle, holding a telescope, frowned as he looked at the still cold city wall in front of him.
"Sure enough, as His Excellency the Regent said, this last gate is protected by a strong barrier, and a strong attack from the front will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
Garrosh crossed his arms and looked at the stitching field on the west side of the Gate of Fear. At this time, a golden bird flag with a purple background representing the oath had been planted here...Garrosh couldn't recognize that it was the Kalimdor eagle.
"In other words, now we can only wait for the oath to remove this barrier from inside the city wall?"
"Well, unnecessary storming will only waste the lives of soldiers, Garrosh, in the future, as a warchief, you must also consider whether the consumption of your own troops is worth it, and don't just rush blindly."
Facing the earnest and earnest words in Go'el, Garrosh showed some impatience. He waved his hand and interrupted the chief's words, "I see! I will try my best to think about it in the future."
Looking at Garrosh's appearance, Goel knew that he didn't listen at all, and sighed helplessly, "Maybe he has to suffer a lot to know his long memory..."
During the period before the vow to open the enchantment, Goyle could only let the Breaker cooperate with the Horde Air Force to seize the air supremacy in front of the Gate of Fear, so as to ensure the smooth communication of the messengers.
Charlemagne read the text message in his hand, raised his head and said to Carrick who came to deliver the letter, "Thanks for your hard work, we will find a way to remove the barrier as soon as possible. Please wait in front of the gate for a while."
"yes."
Sending Carrick away, Charlemagne turned his head to look at Jaina, Hamuul and others in the headquarters.
"Everyone, we have been searching around the city wall of the Gate of Fear for several days. Have you found a way to remove the enchantment?"
Braumux spread his hands and said, "Facing the attack of natural disasters, we almost turned over the entire city wall from the inside to the outside, and we probably figured out a problem."
"The place that supplies energy to the enchantment of this gate is not near the city wall. After research by Jaina and I, it should be part of the energy provided by the Dark Cathedral and Marekaris respectively."
Hamuel asked in the characteristic tauren voice, "That is to say...these two fortresses must be conquered first if you want to open the barrier?"
Jaina nodded helplessly and said, "Although there are some differences from the original plan, it seems that we can only capture these two fortresses that defend the Icecrown Fortress."
Mograine interjected and added, "After my scouts' investigation, fortunately, due to the early appearance of the dragons, the troops in these two fortresses were greatly reduced, and Arthas transferred a large number of them into Icecrown Fortress. I don't have much hope for the perimeter defense anymore."
Charlemagne touched his chin, pondered for a while and said, "In this case, let's start to capture these two fortresses immediately."
As he spoke, he turned his head and said to Krasus, who had turned into a mortal form, and Isarios, who looked lazy, "Two, please trouble the dragon army to clean up the undead on the periphery of the two fortresses and the walls of Icecrown Fortress from the air. After a while, the sworn army will rush directly into the fortress after clearing the periphery."
Krasus nodded with a smile, "No problem, the final battle is finally approaching, let us also contribute."
Isarios lay lazily on the wooden table in front of him, and murmured in a hazy voice, "Hurry up and finish the game, I want to go back to the Emerald Dreamland and have a good sleep..."
Krasus's face with a refined smile twitched visibly, and then Charlemagne and the others saw Isarios jump up with an "ow" and glared at the innocent Krasus beside him.
"Why are you stepping on my foot!"
"Hehe, what are you talking about?"
"Ahem..."
Charlemagne hastily interrupted the quarrel between the two, "In short... we need to remove the last defensive force of the Lich King outside Icecrown Citadel, and... we need to do it as soon as possible."
Looking at the gloomy sky outside the tent, Charlemagne said with some concern, "If we can't attack Icecrown Fortress before the blizzard arrives, our soldiers will be directly exposed to the severe cold of tens of degrees below zero in Icecrown Glacier."
Charlemagne asked the veteran driver Thassarian before that Icecrown Glacier will enter winter every year in late September, and it will enter the coldest season between November and February next year.
Once a blizzard occurs, this permafrost glacier will drop to around minus 60 degrees at most.
For the undead, the temperature doesn't matter, but the severe cold can make them use less preservatives.
But the living are different. Even the cold-resistant yak people cannot completely resist the extreme weather like natural disasters. At most, they can survive for a while with the thick fur on their bodies.
The top priority is that Charlemagne and the others must break into the interior of Icecrown Fortress before the coming blizzard blows, otherwise those who occupy the right time and place will become an army of natural disaster undead waiting for work.
Since the dragon clan cleared the way ahead, Charlemagne sent all the more than 10,000 troops he pledged to the Dark Cathedral, and the open-air Marekaris was handed over to the dragon clan. Both sides will take the two ice crowns as quickly as possible. The last stronghold beyond the fortress.
The movement of the oath was seen by Alsace through the gargoyles hovering in the sky, and he took back most of the troops still left outside to the Dark Cathedral to prevent these undead natural disasters from being directly attacked by the dragon army.
From Ner'zhul's residual memory, Arthas saw the scene where the Icecrown Citadel was wiped out by the dragon clan. He didn't want his precious troops to be easily wiped out by these large lizards. At least he had to give the oath Do some damage.
When the oathed generals led the army to set off, the Dragon Clan used their dragon breath to kill all the natural disaster undead who retreated slowly. At the same time, they firmly held the air supremacy in their hands with their strong strength.
Alsace's gargoyles are like toys in front of the dragons, but he still sent a large number of gargoyles without hesitation to delay the speed of the dragon army.
As Kel'Thuzad said, Alsace has already begun to prepare for the worst of the Northern Expedition.
Once the coalition forces break into Icecrown Fortress, gargoyles, which are useless stone structures other than flying, will not be of much use to defense. It is better to let them play some role in the final external air battle.
