North Sea, also known as Frozen Sea.
Unlike the perennially frozen sea south of Northrend, the sea here is not completely frozen. Warships can drive freely, but the problems faced in this Sea are not easy at all. Compared with other Oceans in the world, the biggest problem with the North Sea is the Blizzard that lingers all year round.
Even Navigator, the most experienced sailor, needs to remain vigilant at all times in this strange and unpredictable Sea.
Well, it is said that the powerful and mysterious North Sea Sea Monster, Kvaldir of Helya and Pirate also have frequent activities here. In short, this is not a land that welcomes outsiders. To be precise, it uses a rather harsh attitude to drive away all fools who dare to approach it.
But no matter how dangerous the place is, there is no shortage of explorers from Courage.
There are dark skies and thick clouds. When you look up, the dark clouds that are constantly shining with Lightning light seem to be staying on top of your head. There are also icy freezing rain. The raindrops between liquid and solid are beating on the sailors. If no protective measures are taken, they will suffer from slight frostbite in less than 10 minutes.
The temperature here is very low, and mixed with the knife-like sea breeze, you can even feel Pain blowing on your face, but this is not the most violent time. There are several scratches nearly 30 centimeters deep into the main mast of "Thunderstrike", which is one of the scars left by Storm on the ship when it was at its most crazy.
Its steel shell is also covered in scars, but it is like a fighter roaming Sea. Although there are countless wounds, and although you can tear it apart, you just can't defeat it.
Taylor Brigadier General dragged one leg to patrol the deck. The veteran wore Blue and White's Captain hat on his head. His gorgeous tassels had been wet, but he could not conceal his Warblade-like anger. The quality was high, and the loyal and brave Royal Navy kept scooping water from the deck. They took three shifts. There was a warm stove and enough food in the Ship's Hold, as well as a small portion of Chen Stormstout. This was an encouragement to the Champions.
Brigadier General, wrapped in Bearhide's big cloak, cast his eyes on the dim sea from time to time. In the wind and waves, on the sea near Thunderstrike, "Warchief's Fist", that damn Horde ship has not sunk yet. This is really not good news.
When he looked at Warchief's Fist painted Blood Red, Orcs Navy Brigadier General Nazgrim was also looking at him. This General Orcs was not as neatly dressed as Taylor. He just put an old leather cap often worn by sailors on his head to show his identity.
This Orcs is also quite old. He is considered a rare navigator among Orcs. During the period when the new Old Horde replaced him, Nazgrim was separated from his tribe during the war and started working on the merchant ship of Goblin Consortium. He became the escort and even reached the position of Captain all the way. After Thrall issued the summons, this gold medal Captain immediately defected to Orgrimmar. He is considered the leading figure in the Orcs navy.
He didn't like humans, especially when he received the mission to perform with the ships of Kul Tiras and Kingdom of Stormwind, he even thought about rejecting it, but in the end, the sense of mission flowing in Bloodline made him set off with the boys, all the way into the most dangerous North Sea.
The eyes of Taylor and Nazgrim collided on the dark Tidal Wave. After a few seconds, the two of them, almost colleagues, made a provocative gesture to each other, then turned and left.
This scene completely fell into the Kul Tiras "Enterprise" Warships who was leading the way in front and Matthew in the stern. In the eyes of Brigadier General, Brigadier General, who was younger than the other two people, sneered, took his own Smoking Pipe from the table with his white-gloved hand, and then focused all his attention on the old nautical chart spread out in front of him.
Kul Tiras, the most powerful navy, has Automated Cleaning Robots from Gnomeregan on the deck. Their Sailors does not need to perform dangerous work in this kind of weather. In this special mission, the confidence of the first maritime power was fully demonstrated. It was not only crushed by Combat Strength, but also directly suppressed by higher-level naval warfare civilization.
But even so, when faced with the chart handed to him by Mograine Duke, Matthew Brigadier General still couldn't believe it, so he used this extremely rough chart to enter the dangerous North Sea to explore two places that most likely did not exist?
He seriously doubted whether Mograine Duke had sent them to die, but after setting sail, on the first weekend, they found the first Harbor that could be docked off the coast of Icecrown Glacier, on the edge of the North Sea, and due west of Icecrown Glacier.
Everything seems to be happening in a dream, but it exists. In that dangerous area wrapped in broken ice, Matthew and Taylor, Nazgrim personally landed on the island. It has a City is so big that it can be used as Alliance Forces's closest logistics base to Icecrown Glacier. Only then did Matthew understand the true meaning of this chart.
Although Mograine did not directly say what the two landing points would be used for, everyone present was a general who had experienced hundreds of battles. If you think about it for a moment, you can understand the meaning behind the fact that Alliance Forces was preparing for the big Burning Legion battle at Dragonblight, and on the other hand, he was quietly looking for landing points at the North Sea.
After truly understanding their mission, Matthew immediately ordered to pull anchor and set sail, leaving only a handful of Mage and craftsmen to build a temporary fortress here, which was named " The island of Enterprise Island" is still some distance away from the main body of Icecrown Glacier. Coupled with the harsh weather of the North Sea, there will be no large groups of Undead to investigate, making it a perfect place for a surprise attack.
The rest of the navy headed towards the North Sea inland sea at an extremely fast speed. Since the first island exists, the second landing point must also exist, and this landing point is on the body of Icecrown Glacier. If it can Defending the first wave of Undead's attack is inevitably equivalent to building a Forward Base next to Lich King's throne. It is of extremely great significance in both strategy and tactics.
"Dang!" "Dang!"
The sharp bell interrupted Matthew's thinking. He grabbed the telescope, opened the Window behind him and looked back. Not far behind Enterprise, a monster jumped out of the sea and crashed into Warchief's Fist. The alarm bell just sounded was Boatswain of Enterprise.
It was a blue Sea monster. The part of its body exposed to the rough sea was at least 20 meters long. It was huge and covered with fish scales and twisted bone spurs. It was like a mountain of meat floating on the sea. The extremely Ice jets from its mouth almost froze the Warchief's Fist hull.
This is North Sea Sea Monster, the creature that fishermen say represents the god of death. In fact, it is just a huge creature that lives in the deepest part of the North Sea. It is extremely aggressive. If an ordinary merchant ship encounters it, it will definitely end up dead.
But what it faced was not an ordinary merchant ship. Nazgrim was holding Heavy Axe from Blood Red. As soon as Sea Monster attacked, he grabbed the cable and jumped onto Sea Monster., the Heavy Axe in his hand struck the Sea Monster's eyes mercilessly. The violent Pain made Sea Monster stop spraying, and kept struggling, trying to shake off the little bug on the top of its head.
And Orcs reacted Sailors also opened fire immediately. The large-caliber Naval Cannons bought from Goblin kept roaring, hitting the red-hot shells on Sea Monster's body. Although every attack The blow can only leave a small hole in Sea Monster's body, but this burning Pain is enough to make a creature like Sea Monster, who doesn't have many Wisdom, feel threatened.
Its body was constantly spinning on the sea surface, and it used its powerful tail to create a whirlpool under the sea surface. Nazgrim was caught off guard, and the Heavy Axe in his hand fell into the Sea. He grabbed the Sea monster's head with difficulty. Using the sharp angle on his waist, he kept cutting open its head with the Chop Axe on his waist. This scene, combined with the lightning Thunder in the sky and the roaring Sea, looked like a scene of "Orcs and the Sea" that makes people's blood boil.
But no matter how beautiful the picture is, it cannot change the state of Nazgrim at this time. It is extremely dangerous. Although the opponent is also a powerful Warrior, facing the mighty power of heaven and earth and the counterattack of the giant beast, it only takes one slip to completely bury him in the Sea. If he falls into the rolling North Sea in this kind of weather, the chance of falling is less than one percent!
But at the moment when Kul Tiras's naval gun was ready, another golden figure emerged from the "Royal Mission". He grabbed the cable, and when the cable flew to the highest point, he jumped out towards Sea Monster, holding a slender, sharp, and flaming giant harpoon in his hands.
That is Taylor! The veteran who has withstood the test of Sha of Anger and established the Kingdom of Stormwind navy. At this time, only such Madmen has the courage to jump on Sea Monster who initiated the death spin, but Taylor is smarter than Nazgrim What's more, he was wearing special boots covered with steel barbs. When Taylor landed on top of Sea Monster's head, a brilliant thunderbolt lit up behind him. Relying on the stability of his feet, the veteran used his hands to pour the specially made Fire Oil, the blazing harpoon, and stabbed Sea Monster's head fiercely into the head.
"Pfft!"
at Blood Red Under the entanglement of Rage, the Long Harpoon in Taylor's hand completely sank into the Sea monster's head, like a red-hot iron needle piercing the brain of an adult. Immediately, a burst of smelly blood rushed up, and the Sea monster also let out a crazy wail, shaking its whole body. Nazgrim could no longer hold on, and with a stroke of his hands, the whole person fell into the Sea.
But the next moment, his hand was grabbed by another determined hand. Nazgrim looked up and saw that it was Taylor. This human veteran grabbed his hand, his eyes still full of disdain. But the next moment, his hand shook, and Nazgrim used the strength of his swing to throw himself onto the broken ice next to him.
As long as they did not fall without any symptoms, High-Rank Warrior would not die from the fall. Taylor also fell on the crazy Sea Monster's body, untied his boots, and with the speed of Sea Monster's rapid forward motion, the whole person drew an arc of light in the air and fell onto another ice floe.
After the two generals escaped from the trap, the sound of more than a dozen cannons ejecting from the barrel simultaneously appeared from the tail of the Enterprise. The special conical Armor-Piercing Shells effortlessly hit the body of the fast-diving Sea Monster, punching more than a dozen bloody holes in its body. Then there was another round of precise shelling, completely ruining the Sea Monster's way of survival.
In less than ten minutes, the corpse of the giant beast surfaced.
Nazgrim and Taylor were also sent to the ship respectively. Just a few hours later, when the Sailorss were tasting the extremely delicious roasted Sea Monster meat, the tall, cold, solemn figure of Icecrown Glacier also appeared in the telescopes of several Commanders.
There is also a staircase carved almost suspended in the glacier, the thick Natural Ice Cap at the top of the glacier, cracks that can be seen everywhere, and the ruins of a pier that has long since decayed.
All this shows that there seems to be traces of biological landings here decades ago, but now, there is no doubt that this place has been abandoned.
The sudden appearance of Sea Monster seemed to bring good luck. The barely marked landing point appeared in front of us in an incredible way.
