Borean Tundra, This is an inaccessible land.
Due to its proximity to the mysterious Chasola Basin and the higher-altitude Wintergrasp, this land has sufficient iceberg water flowing from various waterways across the plains every summer, so there is no shortage of water sources here, and after many years of no one living here, it has become a very primitive appearance.
It is considered a plain area, with no high Mountain inside. The entire plain is covered with natural pasture, which is very suitable for grazing. Near the sea, there is also fertile land for growing crops. It is said that the first batch of immigrants from Lordaeron and Theramore have already harvested three crops there, and only a short year has passed since they reclaimed the land.
It is enough to show how fertile the land here is.
Of course, what happened today is still far away from Farshire. Specifically, it happened in the north of Borean Tundra, on the snowfield outside the frozen river near Dragonblight.
This is considered the edge area of Borean Tundra. There is an unnamed mountain range here, running from east to west, horizontally on the edge of Chasola Basin and Wintergrasp. The altitude is high, so it is covered with ice and snow, and the temperature is also very low, so there is a white snowfield on the plain below the mountain range.
Borean Tundra Except for the Tuskarr who live in Kaskala Harbor and the Taunka who are nomadic on this grassland, there are very few indigenous people. Of course, they are similar to the crocodile Murloc There are many guys like by the Borean Tundra pool, but those guys don't have their own civilization. They are too far away from Chasola Basin, the hometown of crocodile Murloc.
When Scourge attacked, all the Wisdom creatures in Borean Tundra were slaughtered. Even the Murloc in the eastern strait of the plain died a lot, but at least some Tuskarr and Taunka survived, so in Lordaeron When Alliance Forces was preparing to attack Undead of Borean Tundra, these survivors joined Alliance Forces in anger.
An army of New Horde led by Thrall was originally going to land at Borean Tundra, but after Dick wrote a secret letter to Thrall, Warchief temporarily changed his strategy. Obviously, he I was very interested in the plan proposed by Dick about dividing Northrend after the war, so after picking it up several times, Orcs circled around and finally landed at the mouth of Yongbing River in Dragonblight. The final target was Howling Bay.
That area is full of savage Vrykul The land of Horde is also very fertile, and Orcs is not afraid of those Vrykul, and the most important thing is that once the human kingdom chooses Borean Tundra, then Howling Bay, which is located in the far west of Northrend, is far away from their power. In a short period of time, there is no need to worry about the threat from the Alliance.
From this point of view, Thrall's vision is quite long-term. After taking back Orcs and part of Blackrock Orcs from Draenor World, Thrall urgently needs a piece of land that is fertile enough to provide the increasingly large number of Orcs with recuperation. It would be great if the weapons in Orcs's hands could be used to win enough benefits for them.
But there is another bad news. Kingdom of Stormwind seems to have chosen Grizzly Hills, which is only separated from Howling Bay by a mountain range, but Thrall is not worried. As long as the humans of Lordaeron and Theramore do not participate in it, just being a Kingdom of Stormwind is not enough to shake the rule that Orcs is about to spread there.
In addition, the Sin'doreis of Quel'Thalas chose Crystalsong Forest because there are rich magical energy nodes there, which is very suitable for them to live, Night Elf chose Sholazar Basin, Dwarves people don't know why, but the navy people who chose Stormy Cliffs, Kul Tiras don't need to It requires too much land, but the entire island that is enough for Northrend to park has all Horde fallen into the hands of Daelin. Currently Ice Troll and Undead Scourge is engaged in a crazy battle in Zul'Drak. No one chooses that war-torn land, but according to reports from each other's spies, some Zandalari Trolls went there.
Dragonblight, the largest area, no one chose it due to the reasons involving Dragon. To be honest, in that barren snowfield, no force would go there out of their minds.
Turning his eyes back to the snowfield of Borean Tundra, Thassarian and Darion were leading two teams of soldiers to conduct reconnaissance on Ahn'Qiraj, the city of Undead at the end of the snowfield. Operation.
Ahn'Qiraj is the Headquarters of the local Undead. It is said that there is a Envoy of Lich King living in this City, so almost the entire Borean Tundra is gathered here. Essence of Undead, three days ago, a whole squadron of cavalry, a total of 43 people, disappeared here. It is initially estimated that they encountered Undead from within Ahn'Qiraj, and were completely wiped out.
This means that these Undead are no longer content to hide in this city, they are probably planning a counterattack together!
And according to the Tuskarr fisherman Thassarian and Darion met on the road, who was wandering alone in the snowfield and hunting Undead, En'Kilah not only had Nerubians, there are Lich and some Human Mage, those Cursed Mage of Corruption, and there is even a local legend about "Vampire" of Ahn'Qiraj.
This City can definitely be called a chaotic dance of demons. Only by clearing this place can we ensure that the future Northlands Province will be peaceful.
The weather in the snowfield today is very bad. The icy ground here is covered with snowflakes falling from the sky, and the temperature has dropped to about ten degrees below zero. For ordinary soldiers, this is almost impossible weather for normal Operation. Therefore, the large phalanx of Alliance Forces stayed in Caracas to rest in the almost destroyed Tuskarr Camp, and only sent Scout Operation.
"There used to be Nerubians's City! Those Nerubians from the underground kingdom Azjol-Nerub built the border here."
The Tuskarr fisherman lay on the snow and said to Thassarian and Darion beside him, "In my grandfather's story, those Nerubians were cruel, but not impossible to deal with. They would occasionally send Emissary to exchange some goods with us, but the year my second child was born, things got very bad here."
Thassarian is already Death Knight. Ice is completely worthless to him. His eyes are focused on the tall city wall of Ahn'Qiraj Holy City hundreds of meters away. He doesn't care at all about this nagging story of Tuskarr. He only cares about how to destroy this majestic and unusual City. Darion on the other side is very interested in the story of Tuskarr. He asked,
"What a bad idea?"
Tuskarr The fisherman shrugged his shoulders. Although this guy looked fat and had a harmless white beard, which looked a little funny with the round eyes on his face, Darion had seen him hunting alone. With Undead's movements, if he thrust out the harpoon with Chains in his hand, it would definitely pierce a tall Undead. Under this guy's smooth skin, there was absolutely violent blood and muscle hidden, which was as dangerous as his broken ivory.
He is a good Warrior, and of course, he is also a good talkative fisherman.
"Oh, let old Iks think about it. In short, it is very bad. Those Nerubians are like crazy. They attacked our village, but were repulsed the first time. When they came the second time, they brought Lich and endless Undead. We were forced to move! It was really a dark day."
Tuskarr The fisherman couldn't help but touch the metal harpoon beside him and said to Darion,
"They are more ferocious than those Kvaldir Pirate that appear in Mists weather. To be honest, if Valiance Keep hadn't accepted us in the end, we might have had to find a way to cross Sea and go to Howling Bay."
"Then haven't you investigated Ahn'Qiraj?"
Thassarian turned around and asked. The question was very direct. When the fisherman Iks saw the Undead Fire in Thassarian's eyes, he couldn't help but tighten his grip. Harpoon, but he immediately realized that this Undead belonged to his side, so the fisherman took a breath to calm down, then pointed to the ruins of a Necropolis in the distance and said,
"Of course we investigated. Although we failed to break into that City, we got a lot of information. For example, after those Nerubians went crazy, five Necropolis were built here, named Blood, Desecration, Pain, Decay, Lament, three were built inside City, and two were built outside City. We destroyed Evil at that time Necropolis, and also killed one Nerubians Lord. According to our experience, there must be the same Guardians in the other four towers."
Tuskarr The fisherman stopped, then pointed at the floating city in the sky above Ahn'Qiraj that was almost identical to Naxxramas, and said in a hateful voice,
"It's that city, Naxxanar, that destroyed all our efforts. The distinguished guest who was said to be from Icecrown Glacier is in that Floating Fortress, but I estimate that I have to destroy several other Necropoliss before I can enter it."
Thassarian and Darion looked at each other and saw the serious importance they attached to each other. At the moment, Tirion Fordring Grand Knight was conducting a raid on Undead in the east of Borean Tundra. It is said that they shot down a small Scourge Floating Fortress 4 days ago with the help of Gnomes engineers from Gnomeregan Talramas is currently busy clearing out Undead who escaped from that floating city, which is also the last battlefield in the eastern part of Borean Tundra.
And Mograine Grand Knight presided over the elimination of the last Outpost Ahn'Qiraj in West, but if things are really like what Iks said and Naxxanar can move freely, then this cooked duck will probably fly away.
Thassarian asked again, "How many Undead are there in Ahn'Qiraj?"
Iks glanced at him and shook his head,
"Countless! It's no exaggeration. Those damn bastards slaughtered the entire Borean Tundra and even awakened the Undead in the cemetery. I have seen your army. It is very powerful. It is the most powerful force I have ever seen. But if you rush in all at once, it is still difficult to win. That is a Nerubians's City!"
The old fisherman emphasized his tone, "It's full of mechanisms and Evil's magic. No matter how many people go in, it's not enough."
Death Knight nodded, and he retreated silently. The others followed him, quietly exiting a few hundred meters away, and then stood up from the snow. Darion took out a bottle of wine from his arms and handed it to the Tuskarr fisherman. The latter happily turned away, took a sip in his mouth, and handed it to Darion.
He wiped his mouth, pointed to the west of Ahn'Qiraj, and said to the two Scout Commander,
"If you really want to know more about that City, I suggest you go to Lament Necropolis for a walk. I just came back from there a few days ago, and there are still some Undead stationed there. If you are lucky, you might be able to find something."
The fisherman picked up the harpoon and waved to Darion and Thassarian,
"I'm leaving. I swore in front of my brother's tombstone that I would kill 100 Undead in memory of him. It will be enough soon. Then I will go back to my old profession. I hope to see you again at Valiance Keep's Broken Blade pub. Goodbye!"
But after Iks took a few steps, he seemed to remember something again. He searched in the fish skin pocket on his back, then pulled out a delicate small box inlaid with Gemstone, and threw it to Thassarian.
"This is something I found in the pool near here yesterday. I can feel the power of Evil on it. Maybe you can use it."
The old fisherman quickly disappeared into the wind and snow, while Thassarian held the Gemstone box in his hand, glanced at Darion, and whispered,
"This Tuskarr is very smart and very lucky. He did not open the box rashly... he saved his life."
Darion looked at the treasure box in Thassarian's hand curiously, "What is this?"
Death Knight turned his attention to the west. He carefully placed the box in his Backpack, glanced at Darion, and then called to Death Knight behind him to prepare Operation,
"This is the Phylactery of Phylactery...Lich! We are very lucky, Darion. As long as we can find that Lich, the owner of this Phylactery, we will have a big harvest, believe me!"
