In this way, Duke was still very satisfied. Looking at the image of the Gate of Fear that he peeked through the magical eye, Duke's mouth was filled with a strong smile.

"It is easier to smash one door than to smash three doors."

The rebellion of the Black Knights proves the famous saying "The strongest fortress is always broken from the inside."

With the basis of Shadow Vault, Duke teleported over unscrupulously, smashing the Scourge's Mage Tower.

The blizzard surrounding the entire Ice Crown Glacier is not a natural thing. It is the magic fulcrum set up by the previous Lich King Neozu on several important elemental veins of the Ice Crown Glacier. Relying on the mage towers on these fulcrums, Neozu's magic power can pass through the entire Ice Crown Glacier without any obstacles.

The Black Knights rebelled and killed the lich in the mage tower as soon as possible. Duke went over and only cleaned his hands.

The entire Ice Crown Glacier has a total of seven fulcrums, centering on the evil castle of Marekaris, forming a hexagram.

It is not that if a hexagram is removed from a corner, it will become a pentagram by itself. That kind of unbalanced collapse is the most deadly. Duke estimated that as long as his magic net completes the invasion of the Shadow Vault and takes the root here, the power of the blizzard surrounding the Icecrown Glacier will drop by at least 50%.

From the original shells that cannot fly in, it becomes the largest flying battleship that can be entered. The difference is simply a difference between heaven and earth.

It is precisely because of this that Darien's surrender seems to be extremely precious.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the coalition forces formed a multi-faceted encirclement around the Ice Crown Glacier - the northwest is the Black Front Knights, the northeast is the defense zone with the Crusader Trial Arena as the core, the southeast is Dalaran above the Jingge Forest in the southeast, and the southwest is the Dongyun Lake Fortress where the Alkafon treasure house is located.

In January, Duke asked Naxxaras to launch a raid, unexpectedly attacking him, and directly took down the Baragard Fortress just west of the Ice Crown Glacier.

Immediately after this winter, the Scourge and the coalition were in a state of tug-of-war. Alsace, who was unwilling to accept, launched more than a dozen large-scale attacks of one million and three five million bones. From the remains of small animal-level hares to the huge mammoth zombies and bone dragons, it was simply overwhelming.

Several attacks of five million bones, the coalition paid the price: an average of 35,000 deaths per battle, and the scrapping of more than a thousand tanks and heavy artillery.

This is the tactic of the coalition forces using a large number of modern artillery to withstand the Scourge Corps' sea of ​​corpse. Otherwise, it would not be surprising that casualties would be doubled.

The casualties made both Duke and Thrall look quite bad.

Duke is because of astronomical military spending.

Thrall lost human life. There was no way, the alliance army was developing towards diversification. The most basic melee combat was the least. With the joining of the tribe, once infantry warfare was involved, the main force on the top would definitely be orc infantry.

The only thing that can comfort Thrall is that the Alliance provides the Horde with quite good weapons.

All the fine steel weapons blessed by the Holy Light are of great strength and toughness, which are much better than the tribe's own equipment. Moreover, the alliance promises that the tribe can take away these weapons after fighting this battle. Even the weapons used by the dead can be sent back to Kalimdo's relatives as relics.

This kind of kindness has won unanimous praise from the tribal expeditionary army.

There is no regret.

The dead in battle cannot transport the remains and must be cremated on the spot, which conflicts with the traditional shamanic doctrine of orcs. But there is no way, it is not safe to sprinkle corpses with holy water. As long as the dark magic of the lich comes over, when the power of darkness exceeds the light, the corpse will still be deceiving the corpse.

However, at least I resisted it.

Throughout the winter, the Alliance's factory never stopped working and kept working in three shifts to produce arms and military supplies.

When it was most in short supply, Duke even had to use the magic power of the magic net to open a fixed portal to transport the injured to the rear and transport the shortest ammunition to the front line.

Time entered the gate of Darkness March 26.

Northrend's characteristics as a polar continent and the high altitude of the plateau area of ​​Icecrown Glacier, doomed to see no spring blooms here.

Just because the temperature has changed from tens of degrees below zero to several degrees below zero, this is spring.

Without the cover of the strong winds and snowstorms in winter, Alsace finally restrained his arrogance, and the Scourge almost completely contracted and stayed in the Icecrown Glacier area.

During the coalition meeting chaired by Naxxarmas and Duke, all the big men either sent people to attend or sent magic messages.

"The time has come to attack the Ice Crown Glacier." Duke made such a declaration at the beginning.

"Don't wait for summer? Although spring is coming, the power of the cold to the dragon breath of the Red Dragon Legion is still a bit weaker."

Duke said in a deep voice: "No more wait! Recently I have detected multiple space teleportation. I believe that Alsace has sent a large number of medium and low-level lichs out, probably to collect corpses. Waiting for too long, I am afraid that we will encounter a counter-encirclement in Northrend. Even if we can hold on, it will put a lot of pressure on the logistics. By June, we will either reduce the troops by 200,000, or everyone in the entire Northern Expedition Alliance will starve together and be half full every day."

Now, after constantly replenishing troops in Northrend, the alliance and the tribe have a total of 500,000 troops. So many people eat, drink, defecate, and corresponding military supplies, if it weren't for Duke, a super internal politician with a system elves, the logistics mobilization alone would have made a thousand-person logistics headquarters crazy.

You should know that without summarizing and determining, there are more than 3,000 logistics officers who perform logistics work alone. Non-military logistics personnel have been included.

Fortunately, as early as the Battle of Mount Haigar, the alliance began to focus on cultivating talents for cross-sea combat logistics supplies. Only then did they barely get enough logistics officers.

In fact, the Marcus family, the three merchant ships of the Coultilas and the Altlank families, except for the necessary regular trading ships, have been recruited to supply Northrend.

Still not enough.

"Okay. Let's fight!" Thrall sighed. He lost 100,000 warriors in one winter. If he had just arrived at the tribe of Kalimdor, his vitality would be severely damaged. Even if he had made up for the orcs of Drano and the 100,000 young orc warriors, it would still be a considerable loss.

"It would be great if there were more troops. At least the attack could form a batch rotation." Magni muttered.

Thrall suddenly thought of something: "Yes, the Forsaken of the Tribe...Anasterian said that they are willing to go to war."
Chapter completed!
