From the Western Theater, the Allied forces rushed into the scheduled main battlefield, and soon joined Dalian and Brigitte's forces in the new fireplace Valley on the southeast coast of Longmen wilderness. Old ferding and Mograine set up a forward base near the tomb of the stars, which was also the result of negotiation among the major forces.
The base of the Allied forces is set up here to guard against Spiderman capital, the Spiderman capital of aizhuo nerub. This huge underground city has many advantages in Northrend, but the largest one is located in the west of Longgu wilderness. During the reign of the dark forces of ner'ozu, a yak village near this big crypt, ice fog village, has been completely destroyed, It's also one of the spidermans.
Just like the task of the human coalition forces to guard against spider demons, the Horde corps, who arrived in Longmen wilderness three days earlier than the human coalition forces, set up a base in the mountains northeast of longmian temple. They want to clear up the huge amount of undead there, and resist the attack of the undead army from anjasa, the gate of scourge. The most important thing is to guard there, To ensure the smooth flow of the waterway from risk bay to Blue Sky Lake, this waterway will be an important material transportation channel for both sides of the Alliance for a long time to come.
The Legion of storm Kingdom also rushed out from the grizzly bear hills and surrounded by the undead trolls. They stationed in the intersection of keel wilderness, grizzly bear cage and zudak, and built a church and military camp called the hope of light. The main defense target was the huge number of the undead trolls in daksaron fortress, and when necessary, they were killed, Support the Knights of the black front and the Holy Light outpost, which are holding fast to the southwest of zudak.
There are also Zandala trolls' troops there. Of course, they don't like to participate in the battle of alliance tribes, so most of them are in the northeast of zudak and join the dakalai trolls.
In this way, from the holy city of nqila, to the tomb of stars, to the new fireplace Valley, to the orc fortress, and finally to the Church of light in storm Kingdom, one third of Northrend's territory has fallen into the hands of the civilized world. Of course, the rear war is far from over, but the formation of this defense line is a strong blow to the newly awakened Lich King.
Azeroth was not as vulnerable as he thought. In fact, when they united, the burst of power forced the Lich King to retreat.
Of course, in the current situation, the early rapid advance to the keel wilderness is already the limit. If you want to move forward, you have to fight with the army of the Lich King and angassa at the gate of scourge. The closed gate is the only exit of the icecap glacier.
Although the elves of Quel'Thalas have found a mountain road in Jingge forest that can lead to the ice cap glacier, it is too steep and full of heavy troops under the Lich King. It will take a lot of effort and time to get through. When the high-level coalition has made a plan, it will not be worth the loss to spend a lot of effort to get through there.
It was in this situation that Baron deriek followed general Darion, who was stationed in the new fireplace Valley, into the alliance fortress at the tomb of the stars. He couldn't see in his eyes, not because he was injured, but because he was born blind. However, it was not a bad thing for baron. Born in a noble family in storm Kingdom, he developed a very quiet character because of his eyesight. Finally, he entered the North County monastery and became a low-key priest.
His uncle is Derek, a famous "purist" in the silver hand, and an old powerful paladin. It is also for this reason that Baron appeared in Northrend and became one of the members of the "trial" on behalf of the storm Kingdom under the recommendation of the old Marshal Windsor who has returned to the storm Kingdom.
"Father, I'm back!"
Dalian takes Baron into the command tent. Old Mograine is facing them with his back. He is carefully observing the map in front of him. The war against the undead has given the old knight unimaginable vitality again. He seems to have devoted all his life to the war, just like a burning fire. Even if he is just close, it will make people feel burned.
Hearing Dalian's voice, the old knight put down his deductive pen, turned around and saw his little son, who he didn't value, but now he has proved with his own practical actions that who is the next generation of the Mograine family at the helm.
Dalian came to Northrend after he was knocked down by gavinsent. He participated in almost every battle of this frozen land. Not long ago, in the battle of building a new fireplace Valley, he faced the hero death knight, Tyrannus, the Lord of natural calamity, and broke through the hero level at the last moment to drive the death Lord away.
So far, Dalian has completed the process from weak to strong, and he has been recognized by stomka again.
"Here you are, Darion. I heard about your fight in new mantelpiece Valley... Well done, my son!"
Mograine waved to Dalian and Baron, and the young soldier also put a smile on his face. They sat down separately. Mograine's attention fell on Baron instead of Dalian,
"This... Is Derek's nephew? The candidate of storm kingdom? "
Dalian nodded and said in a deep voice,
"Marshal Windsor personally recommended Baron to me. His strength is very good and he is qualified to participate in the" trial ". Father, is the trial held here?"
The knight shook his head. His eyes fell on Baron's closed eyes. He pondered for a moment and replied in a low voice,
"Not here, the final trial will be held in the temple of longmian. This is the kindness of the dragons and the convenience that knight Dick has won for us. For mortals, this is the supreme glory. As for here... I have to be sure whether these candidates are qualified to enter it."
"Father
Dalian felt that old Mograine's tone was too hurtful when he heard this, but the old knight raised his hand and motioned him not to speak. He looked at Baron and said in a deep voice,
"Marshal Windsor is a respectable veteran, but he always considers the problem from the kingdom of storm. Considering his position, there is nothing wrong with it. But you have to understand that Baron, this trial is a decisive attack launched by the whole civilized world against the Lich King. It can only win, not fail! I can't allow anyone to make up for it. You must be the strongest, the most capable and the most fearless group in the whole civilized world. "
"Uncle said the same thing to me, knight."
Baron was not angry because of Mograine's blunt tone. He said calmly, "I believe I am ready to devote myself to the expedition of the holy light. This is the supreme glory of our generation!"
"Sounds like a fanatic."
Old Mograine laughed, his voice was a little low, "but I don't think you understand that the eyes of the whole world will focus on you. Besides the human world, there are elves, dwarves, trolls, and... Those damned orcs, you will eventually move separately, and the strongest army in the world will cover you, What you have done in the war will serve as the evidence for the division of Northrend after the war. "
"Yes, it's not only glory, but also the game between countries and forces. In this war, the human world should keep watch and help each other. No matter whether you can become the ultimate warrior or not, I have only one requirement for you! You can't lose to those Orc bastards! "
The expression on Baron's face became a little stiff. Obviously, the young man who once indulged in the Holy Light dossier had never considered the problem from this aspect. Mograine's naked analysis caught him off guard. However, with the parting words of Marshal Windsor in mind, Baron finally understood the words of the old marshal.
Obviously, he has been kept in the dark.
A few minutes later, Baron sighed and nodded,
"My father died in the battle when Stormwind was broken, and I don't want to lose to the orcs if I can."
Old Mograine nodded with satisfaction and patted Darian on the shoulder,
"Well, Baron, you can go to the candidate area. You're going to perform your first task."
"What?"
Dalian asked curiously. Old Mograine laughed. There was a trace of indifference in his eyes,
"Going deep into azro nerub, within one day, Baron must bring back the remains of three high-level spider demons. Well, it can be done by one person or in teams, but with one more person, the number of remains will be increased by 5. Do you understand?"
"This... But his eyes..."
Dalian was a little surprised at this harsh requirement. Hunting three high-level spider demons was not difficult for him, but for blind people like Baron, going deep into the underground city of edro nerub, it might be some
But before old Mograine could answer, Baron took the initiative,
"It doesn't matter, general Dalian. Although I have lost my eyes, the benevolent light has given me the ability to see the world better. All I can do is to have soldiers to take me to edro nerub."
The old knight stood up and waved,
"There will be the best scouts to accompany you. They will also be responsible for recording your achievements and rescuing you when you are about to be killed. I hope you will not use them. Oh, by the way, you can go to the quartermaster to get a new set of equipment. This is the right of all candidates."
Baron nodded to the two paladins and walked out of the camp with his blind walking stick, leaving only Dalian and Mograine and his son. Dalian looked at the old knight and coughed solemnly,
"Father, I've decided that I'll take part in what you said last time!"
The old knight, who had returned to his desk, was not surprised at his son's decision. He just looked up at his son, nodded, took out a document and looked at it. After a moment, he drew a circle on it and said to him,
"Yes, you will be included in the team attacking the shadow dome, and your players will be selected from these candidates."
Dalian's face collapsed,
"The shadow dome? Isn't it Icecrown fortress? "
The old knight shook his head, took his pipe from the table and took a puff of smoke. When the thick smoke covered his face, he spoke slowly,
"Of course not. Icecrown fortress, that dark hell, that's our old bone's task. We must consider the result of failure. If we fail, you fresh blood can at least bring the general back to the east continent, or stick to the current defense line. We can die without concern, but you can't... My son, Dick once said, "it makes a lot of sense."
"This world, after all, belongs to you... If you win, everything will be fine. If you fail, you will take over our flag and prop up the whole human kingdom again... Not only you, Bridget, but even Varian. Their tasks are the same. We are soldiers in charge. This time, it's up to you to fight for us old friends."
Dalian's expression suddenly became serious. From the words of old Mograine, he heard a different flavor. If the "ice breaking" was just a plan at the beginning, then now, there is no doubt that the high level of the whole civilized world has worked out a set of real plans.
Instead of putting all their bets on this raid, they made a very detailed plan to deal with the consequences in case the raid failed.
"Remember, my son, after breaking the shadow dome, immediately take the candidates back to the battle field of keel wilderness. After we leave, you will take over the command, hammer them in angassa like nails, and wait for our news!"
The old knight closed his eyes and said like a dream,
"When the four Acropolis are broken, the door of the dark cathedral and Icecrown fortress will be opened. That is the World War I that decides the fate of the world, the world's Heroes gather together, the final confrontation between light and darkness, justice and evil... Well, for veterans, that is simply the most perfect tomb."
