The feeling is like seeing a fly playing with a reed on the soup in front of you while dining.
Cough! Don’t think that the undead are all maggot-infested things. Those heavy-mouthed gameplays are not suitable for a king-born old man.
The long-established etiquette and habits still bound his soul.
After receiving the battle report, Terenas faced a severe situation. He knew very well what McDonald's was doing, and he worked step by step. Then he built bunkers and railways all the way, slowly compressing the space for the Scourge's activities, and finally annihilated them.
The loyal dog Marduk suggested: "We can consider launching a large-scale offensive to drive the alliance vanguard into the sea!"
This is a fair proposal, but what are the possible consequences?
Lao Taizi looked at the map, the fire in his eyes was gloomy and uncertain.
In fact, the same question was asked by Varian to MacDonald at the throne meeting.
This is what McDonald said at the time: "I want a foothold, and Terenas has to give it to me. If he doesn't give it and still wants to defeat us, it will be great fun."
He pointed at the sand table and swept his fingers across the rivers on the three-dimensional map.
The leaders understand instantly.
Although the continent of Northrend is frozen and cold, only a few areas such as Icecrown Glacier, Storm Peaks and Wintergrasp are frozen all year round.
The Alliance chose the Borean Tundra as its base of advance. If the Lich King wanted to send troops to drive the Alliance into the sea, the prerequisite was to gather enough combat power.
There are no more than two ways for the undead army to come out of Icecrown Glacier: one is to start from the Gate of Scourge in Dragonblight, go all the way west through half of Dragonblight, then cross two large rivers, and finally reach the east of Borean Tundra;
It is a secret passage that may exist in theory, starting directly from the Sholazar Basin to the west of the Icecap Glacier, and arriving at the Borean Tundra from the north.
No matter which of these two roads, the Scourge will face the annoying problem of crossing the river.
As long as it is not winter, the water volume of the rivers in these two areas is not small.
The water flow is fast and the river is wide.
This is definitely a trouble for the undead army's advance.
What's more, it's easy to come here, but if something happens, you won't be able to go back.
When the air force and long-range firepower do not dominate, the most ideal operation is to let the nerubians dig holes to get closer to the allies, and then launch a charge at a close enough distance to engage in close combat in one fell swoop, giving full play to the numerical advantage of the undead soldiers of the Scourge.
.
But there are so many rivers and there is permafrost below them. Why should we charge even though we know that the Alliance has artillery shells that can penetrate the ground?
Aren’t you afraid that after you come here, you will play an Azeroth version of [Incheon Landing] for the alliance, and suddenly make dumplings for Lao Taizi’s main force?
It's the same problem over at Howling Fjord.
There is no way, the terrain of Northrend is just a waist. If you have to support both ends from the land, you must be prepared to be cut in half by the Alliance.
When the Alliance Navy is absolutely dominant, there are not many cards that Lao Taizi can play.
Especially when he knew that it was his son who smashed the handsome flag raised by Dauntless Fortress in Borean Tundra, he was so angry that he almost broke his teeth.
"Do you think McDonald thinks I'm an idiot?" At the same time, after carefully sensing and discovering the fluctuations in Wuer's soul, Lao Taizi became so incompetent and furious.
As for Macdonald, he half-squinted: "You are not afraid of the hook being straight. As long as the bait is good enough, you will still be hooked."
Well, if you don't take the bait, don't blame McDonald's for doing it again.
Classic routine!
The so-called routines are not afraid of old ones, the key lies in [classics].
When one party can spend energy and play steadily, it is really not easy to crack it.
McDonald was able to keep his composure, so he let Dalaran stand outside Icecrown Citadel, looking at each other from a distance. He first built the Dauntless Fortress in the southwest of Northrend, and then began to build the third Dalaran at the historical location of Warsong Fortress.
Two castles [Fearless Fortress].
On the one hand, an extermination force was sent to clean up the wandering wild monsters and murloc clans in the Borean Tundra. On the other hand, a main road was built between the two fortresses. It was a 'highway' paved with one meter thick reinforced cement concrete. In addition to
We started running cars and started building railroad tracks.
The most outrageous thing is that the Alliance has grandly started farming on the plains of the Borean Tundra. Taking advantage of the coming summer, they will scatter all kinds of seeds and plant them with druids and various agricultural machinery.
At the same time, a large number of construction machinery was digging wildly under the cover of the mecha troops, creating many isolation belts tens of meters wide, digging from the ground all the way to the permafrost that the crypt spider demons could not handle, in order to cut off the Scourge Legion.
Possibility to play 'Earth Dragon Attack'.
In Howling Fjord, southeast of Northrend, the Alliance operates similarly.
It's just that there are a large number of Vrykul who serve the Scourge Legion here and are resisting, which makes it seem more lively.
The Howling Fjord got its name because it is surrounded by the sea on three sides and the sea breeze blows constantly, making the whole area hear the barking of crazy beasts. Apart from that, the Howling Fjord is still a very peaceful place. There is no such thing here.
It's full of dense forest like the Grizzly Hills, but the temperatures are much milder, and the flat terrain is more suitable for growing crops.
The alliance encounters relatively more problems here.
The one leading the troops here is Varian.
He is listening to the battle report.
"A large number of Vrykul are blocking us like crazy. Once they see Alliance soldiers, even if there is only one of them, they will yell and kill them directly. We have no way to communicate with these madmen." Vanessa Van Cleef.
Reporting.
Dafan added: "The source of everything lies in Utgard Castle! The Vrykul King is directing the war here."
"We...can we try the beheading plan?" Varian suddenly thought.
"It's not impossible." Vanessa frowned: "When I infiltrated, I didn't find that the Vrykul's castle had a magic shield."
"Then? Ask the alliance's airship troops to go up and test it out?"
"Okay! I will inform Lord Brian Bronzebeard right away."
Very unexpectedly, this became the first battle of the airship fleet headed by Skybreaker in Northrend.
Half a day later, Brian looked at the towering castle through the telescope. Suddenly a question mark seemed to rise on his forehead: "Wait a minute, on the highest platform of the castle, I saw a big guy. Could that guy be a Vrykul?"
The king, right?"
The elite operator [Laughing Buddha] next to him saluted: "Dear Lord Bronzebeard, you can be more confident and remove the three words 'shouldn't'."
Brian didn't know whether he should laugh or laugh wildly?
The sand sculpture players around him are similar.
Reality is sometimes more magical than games.
In the game, if the player wants to defeat the Vrykul King, they need to fight all the way up from the bottom of the castle to the [Top of Utgard]. Only then can they challenge, uh, or beat this guy who has a bad mind and wants to die.
King of the Vrykul.
The difficulty of this thing is, at least a bit, as an entry-level boss in Northrend, he can still take a few hits.
No wonder the two idiots of the Lich King in history didn't just accept him and his people as undead. Without it, the IQ would be worrying. It would lower the average IQ of the death knight.
Then, Yimilon, who was giving instructions on the highest platform of the castle, was extremely shocked to see huge humanoid mechas falling from the sky...
