Alterac, at the end of the seven human kingdoms, is a bitter cold place.
The reason why it is so bitterly cold is because of the poor altitude. The highest peak is over 5,000 meters, and the average is over 3,000 meters, which is enough to keep the main peak of Alterac covered with snow all year round.
How much snow there is depends on the weather and the moisture in the air.
Normally, there are no avalanches on the road leading to Andorhal from the east side of the Alterac Mountains.
Please note that temperatures vary every winter.
It's like the Great Celestial Empire had a warm winter last year, but this winter it froze people into dogs...
The winter in the beginning of Dark Gate 5 was so cold that theoretically the beginning of spring in March felt like a fake.
When the Scourge mobilized millions of bones from Hillsbrad Foothills and Alterac to cross this road, Broomiux, who was responsible for guarding Regret Hill, felt a lot of pressure.
Relying on a well-established fortress, blocking the mountain pass, and a mixed force of 50,000 regular troops, 150,000 recruits and militiamen, the former duchess could not relax at all.
That was the undead army that destroyed three kingdoms!
Unexpectedly, the Trident boss [Situ Yanpo] took the initiative to ask for help: "I only need one man and one griffon to defeat the millions of natural disasters."
No matter whether it works or not, it is full.
Bloumiux had no reason to refuse.
She never expected that this guy actually did it.
avalanche!
It seems to be a natural disaster, but it is actually a technical job.
A small amount of snow is not fatal.
When you went skiing, didn't you also shovel the snow?
Some avalanches occur in extremely heavy snowstorms, but most commonly occur when the snow is too thick and exceeds the frictional resistance of the slope. When the upper snow begins to slide down the slope, it often drives the surrounding areas that are not sliding.
The snow is pouring down together.
People may not realize it, but there is actually a kind of competition going on on the snow-capped mountains: gravity must pull the snow downward, while the cohesive force of the snow hopes to keep the snow in place. When this competition reaches its climax,
Even a little external force is enough to trigger a catastrophic avalanche.
Of course, the amount of snow and avalanche locations must be calculated.
There was too little snow, and the snow that washed down was used to keep the carrion on the zombies fresh.
The amount of snow is heavy enough, but it also depends on where it hits.
Just burying garbage skeletons and zombies is no different from feeling lonely.
It is a steep valley with a slope of nearly 60 degrees and a height of more than 500 meters.
At first glance, it seems like nothing. Only locals know what the original valley looked like.
After a winter of accumulation, the snow here has reached 100,000 tons.
The rugged terrain and uneven mountain walls make volume calculations impossible.
It's a pity that the cursed cultists and undead commanders from the warm hills of Hillsbrad don't know anything about this.
The main reason is that this poor place in Alterac Mountain is too poor and the population is too sparse. The Cult of the Damned has not focused its work here from the beginning.
[Situ Yanpo] In fact, he didn't do much, he just roared at the most suitable place calculated by the system.
"Fire-in-the-hole!"
A simple greeting to the Scourge immediately caused a layer of light snow to roll down from the top of the mountain.
They slid faster and faster, rolled bigger and bigger, and in a few strokes it turned into a real disaster.
At the foot of the mountain, a large number of Cursed Cults are driving skeletons and zombies forward. They worship death, but they are still panting. The Cursed Cults do not refuse the living to join, they just demand that they eventually reach the place of death.
"Huh? What's the sound?"
"Is there wind noise? This is the damn weather in Alterac."
"No! No!"
An increasingly loud rumbling sound fills people's five senses, as if an illusory god is beating a war drum violently in people's ears.
The white snow forms a rolling tide, like huge waves on the sea during a storm, pouring down from the snow-white mountain walls and occasionally exposed black rocks.
False natural disasters received punishment from real natural disasters.
The splashing snowflakes blocked the sun's rays, announcing the arrival of the moment of destruction to these unnatural immortal beings.
"Impossible! How could this happen?"
They subconsciously want to run.
run?
Where to run.
It's because the mountain road from the Alterac Mountains to Andorhal is in poor condition, so this side is the main one.
Even if Rivendell had built the road here before, how far could it be built in a short while?
To the west are steep slopes and mountain walls prone to avalanches at any time, to the east are sunken valleys, and the only thing that can accommodate the advance of the army is the uneven mountain road, which is less than fifty meters wide at the widest and just over five meters narrow at the narrowest.
Mr. Mai is not the lord of Alterac. Could it be that he is still building towering retaining walls on both sides of the road just like the Earth and Heaven build highways?
This was an avalanche caused intentionally.
Not to mention the wooden houses of the old era, even the reinforced concrete hollow brick walls of the new era are not strong enough to face tens of thousands of tons of ice slag and thick snow. They are still the "forward troops" of avalanches.
Weak skeletons, zombies, plague catapults and other things are almost gone in one encounter.
Maybe Death Knight and Abomination can handle it, but that depends on luck.
The necromancers who had nowhere to escape were instantly buried alive by the heavy snow. The heavy feeling of several tons of snow made him breathless. With the rumbling sound above, the snow continued to thicken rapidly.
Their magical protective items saved them immediately, allowing them to avoid dying on impact.
At the same time, this thing also harmed them.
Because they have to endure terrible squeezing and suffocation.
A considerable number of those killed by avalanches did not die from impact but from suffocation.
The feeling of not being able to breathe, being compressed by the heavy snow body, being unable to breathe back after exhaling, and being suffocated to death, was really oppressive.
This time the avalanche affected a very large area. Basically, with the Necromancer at the core of this legion as the center, all the troops one kilometer in front and back were cut off by the avalanche.
Without a controller, most of the undead wandered around the mountain road in confusion.
At this time, the artillery shells from the Regret Ridge artillery array arrived.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
They had already decided to shoot at Zhu Yuan. Now all the gunners have to do is to load the bullet hard, fire, and completely blow this undead army to pieces with the fury of the 155mm howitzer.
Perhaps, in the end, there will still be many high-level undead left in this army, so what?
Since it has been proven that the narrow mountain road is not suitable for the Scourge Legion's attack, continuing to send troops there is purely to give Mcdonken's people more combat experience.
Over at Andorhal Fortress, McDonald's face was full of energy, which happened to meet Lao Taizi's ice-blue pupils.
Terenas was disappointed once again. If the partial army over there could make some achievements, at least launch an ant attack on the city, maybe he would continue to put pressure on this side.
But after all, there was no climate there. There were neither generals nor many elite undead.
Terenas regretted a little. He chose to embark on the path of immortality. The long-term fear of losing his royal power was gone, but he also lost his honor.
What echoed in his ears at this time was the word "Go away" sent to him by the Alliance soldiers headed by the Lordaeron people.
