Chapter 713 Disagreement in Icecrown Citadel
When the Dragon Clan seized the air supremacy and began to attack Marekaris, Charlemagne rode Eragon to carefully inspect the Icecrown Fortress.
Compared to the last time Illidan attacked, today's Icecrown Fortress is much better than before in terms of defensive strength and aesthetics.
The entire fortress is clearly divided into several floors, and a solid gate stands at the end of the main entrance steps on the second floor. At this time, the gate embossed with skulls is still tightly closed.
The side gates are guarded by a large number of undead, and due to the structure of the castle, most of these side gates are protected by multi-layered walls, so it is difficult for the dragon army to launch air strikes on these places.
Except for the open-air Frozen Throne on the highest floor, which is shrouded in a blue-purple barrier, the entire fortress made of Saronite seems to be very strong, and it is obviously unrealistic to penetrate it from the outside.
Riding on Eragon's back, Charlemagne saw Alsace in a concave shape inside through the translucent barrier from a distance.
I don’t know if his **** is really glued to the throne. Charlemagne walked around the Frozen Throne several times without seeing him move.
Tried to attack the barrier, but as expected, it didn't move at all. Although the barrier covering the Frozen Throne is unknown, it seems that it cannot be easily broken by external attacks.
What the Lich King meant was that the attacking troops could only attack step by step from the inside of the tightly guarded fortress, and wait for their men to relax in this throne hall after their men had exhausted most of the strength and stamina of the attacking troops... It should have been like this of.
Charlemagne looked at Alsace who was sitting on the throne and posing, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Alsace, do you think I will act according to the script you set? Just wait, I will definitely give you a big surprise."
With the fall of the Dark Cathedral and the evil castle of Marekaris, the protective barrier of Coresa, the Gate of Fear, finally disappeared completely.
The ancient oath opened the already captured gate from the inside, and nearly 100,000 troops from the Alliance and Horde poured into the Court of Bones from outside the gate.
The meeting of the three parties in front of Icecrown Citadel means that most of the natural disaster forces of Icecrown Glacier have been successfully eradicated.
In addition to the adventurers who are still looking for treasures that may not exist in Ymirheim, the solid defense line that the two generations of Lich Kings have worked so hard to build has been completely penetrated.
The three forces once again gathered together to hold the last joint military meeting of the Northern Expedition... In fact, the content of this meeting was already very simple. It was nothing more than breaking through the main entrance and suppressing the multiple side doors of Icecrown Fortress one by one, so as to break into the inside of the fortress from all aspects.
Due to the relatively small number of troops on his side, Charlemagne proposed to suppress the side entrances from the ancient oath, and the Alliance and the Horde would join forces to attack directly from the main entrance.
Although the two sides were very dissatisfied with the need to cooperate, Varian, Daelin, Garrosh and the others barely maintained restraint in the face of the enemy, and agreed to Charlemagne's suggestion.
At the beginning of December 27 at the Dark Portal, just as Charlemagne expected, when the coalition forces destroyed the main entrance of Icecrown Fortress through the joint bombardment of Skyfire and Skybreaker and entered the interior, a violent snowstorm began on this perpetually frozen glacier. blow up.
Outside a side door on the east side of the third floor of Icecrown Fortress, Thassarian looked at the weather outside and probably made a prediction.
"According to previous years' experience, this snowstorm should last for about half a month."
"It doesn't matter to us undead, but in this extreme climate, the supply of the living will be very difficult, and the air force except for the dragon is almost completely scrapped. Fortunately, we attacked the interior before the blizzard came, otherwise it would be very difficult. I am afraid that this war will be difficult to fight.”
Charlemagne reminded everyone of their optimism, "Don't be careless, you have also heard what Thassarian said just now. It will be very difficult for us to obtain supplies from the rear within half a month."
"Alsace should take this opportunity to let his army launch a fierce attack, trying to defeat our army while the blizzard lasts. As soon as the blizzard passes, he will completely lose all hope."
Jaina looked at Garrosh and the wolf king Jean, who were charging on the first floor, "Now we can only watch the performance of the Alliance and the Horde. I don't know what actions they will take?"
"It's not hard to guess."
Charlemagne moved his fingers that were stiff from the cold, rubbed Mr. Bigworth who was curled up in a ball on his chest, and said, "With Garrosh leading the charge, the Horde will inevitably choose a forceful way. In the past half a month, the army of natural disasters will be defeated by attacking and attacking."
"After all, they have long been accustomed to living in a situation of insufficient food supplies. Breaking this situation early can bring the final victory of the war one step earlier."
"The more secure alliance should choose to go step by step and fight steadily, trying to persist through the defensive posture for half a month, and then break through Alsace's defense line in one go after the supply line is unblocked."
Barre was taken aback, scratched his head and asked, "Then doesn't this mean that the strategic thinking of the two sides in coordinated operations is not unified? Will this..."
Charlemagne shrugged, "There will inevitably be differences and part ways. Alsace is not a fool. He will seize this opportunity to attack the Horde first. As long as the threat of the Horde can be eliminated first, the Alliance may not be alone."
Jianna looked at Charlemagne with a weird expression and asked, "You don't stop it if you know it? Do you have any crooked ideas?"
"What is a crooked idea..."
Charlemagne scratched his face in embarrassment. Seeing that everyone present was staring at him, he could only raise his hands in surrender and said, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you."
"I'm planning to…"
————————
As Charlemagne said, the alliance and the tribe had a huge difference in the strength of the attack. The two sides had a big fight and finally chose to split up.
The alliance chose to slow down the attack tempo for the time being, and wait for the blizzard to pass before launching a general attack.
However, the tribe directly launched a fierce attack under the instigation of the internal radical main combat faction. The original coordinated combat front of the coalition forces was torn apart, and the alliance and the tribe fought separately again.
The upper floor of Icecrown Citadel, the Frozen Throne, the Lich King Arthas saw this scene through the eyes of the undead, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his face under the helmet of domination.
"Sure enough...these living people still have all kinds of conflicts and distractions even when they face foreign enemies. Only the Scourge, which is the undead, can be twisted into a rope under my unity."
At last Arthas stood up from his throne and shouted to the kneeling crowd below, "Bronjam, Tyrannus, Falric, and Marwyn, lead the Scourge to attack , target... tribe!"
"Remember, follow my instructions, and victory will belong to the Scourge!"
"Your will, great Lich King!"
