In the end, Aaron decided to attack Ice Troll of Zul'Drak directly without leading a large force. The road from Howling Fjord to Zul'Drak was not easy. If a large force marched, just maintaining logistics would be a big test.
After all, Northrend is different from Eastern Kingdoms. If you want to organize a large-scale battle on this frozen land to exterminate Ice Troll, it will be much more difficult than the original battle against Zul'Aman.
Although Aaron hired a fleet of Kul Tiras to provide logistical supplies for this expedition, and there was also a large amount of supplies obtained at Utgarde Keep, organizing a large-scale attack would definitely require more preparations. In the end, Aaron decided to take people first to investigate the situation of Ice Troll.
By the way, let's see if we can reach some agreement with Furbolg. These descendants of the giant bear god are quite powerful. Judging from Liadrin's description, they should not have been corrupted by Yogg-Saron, at least not as thoroughly. With the help of this group of local natives, I think it can help reduce a lot of pressure on our side.
"Oh, I just came back and I have to go out again." After Aaron made the decision, he sighed leisurely. When he came to Northrend in his previously planned home, he should have to face a series of large-scale battles. After all, Vrykul, Ice Troll, Scourge... these forces that have made some changes all have a large number of soldiers. If you want to solve these unstable factors, you may not be able to do it without fighting.
However, after arriving at Northrend, Aaron realized that his thoughts were too good. There was still a lot of preparation work to be done before the battle. Now that the entire expedition team was basically under the command of Aaron, he had to be responsible for these people.
"What's wrong? You think you're too tired?" Vereesa watched with interest as Aaron sighed while writing and drawing on the map.
"I'm not tired at all. I just feel like there are so many things to do, so I might as well just be an adventurer." Aaron is just saying this. He doesn't want to be an adventurer who can only follow the crowd.
"Ha, you know, looking at you, I am reminded of the time when my second sister just took over as the Ranger General," Vereesa walked up to Aaron, "At that time, she was also complaining about the eldest sister's irresponsibility, while trying to do all the work in an orderly manner. I believe you can do it well too."
"I can definitely do it well." Aaron nodded vigorously. In fact, he knew in his heart that this was the price he would inevitably bear after he chose to fight to reverse Azeroth's fate. However, with Vereesa's comfort, he became more motivated to do these trivial tasks.
"Okay, I'm here to help, let me see, this is the consumption in the camp, then it should..." Vereesa sat next to Aaron and began to help him handle the work, although Vereesa has only received ranger training since he was a child, but after all, he was born in Windrunner's family. Under the influence, he has no problem helping Aaron with some business work.
After talking with Vereesa about the various problems that the expedition had encountered during this period and briefly handling them, Aaron summoned the leaders of each part of the expedition. After briefly understanding their respective situations, he informed them of the possible war against Ice Troll.
"Before the official war begins, I want to investigate the enemy's situation first and see if I can recruit some reinforcements." Aaron said his plan.
Several commanders looked at each other, and Halduron was the first to speak, "This reconnaissance mission should be left to my Xiamen Ranger. If you are always asked to do this and that, doesn't it seem like we are too idle?"
"The rangers are going? It's not impossible... but..." Aaron felt a little hesitant. When it comes to simply detecting the enemy's situation, the rangers are definitely more professional than him. However, Aaron still has other purposes for this trip. To hand over these tasks to the rangers at the same time? Aaron is still a little uneasy.
After some discussion, it was finally decided that Aaron would still go there by himself, but also bring some rangers with him, so that at least these guys who had been eating the food bought by Aaron would not feel that they were doing nothing.
In addition to the rangers, many idlers who were interested in these talking bears after hearing what Liadrin said about Furbolg also clamored to follow them. Aaron felt that there were still empty cabins on Dreadwake, so he took all these people with him.
"Look, there is Blackmaw Hold where Furbolgs are."
After passing through the snowy mountains, you can see the remains of the World Tree that Furbolg calls home from the air. Even if you look at it from a distance in the air, you can still feel the majesty of the chopped-down World Tree.
After setting the course for Dreadwake, Aaron, who was idle, began to tell the story of World Tree to everyone on the ship. At first, he only told it to Vereesa, but soon everyone else on the ship was attracted. Finally, everyone gathered around Aaron to listen to him tell the story of the past.
Thousands of years ago, due to the escape of Old Gods Yogg-Saron imprisoned under Ulduar, a strange mineral vein named Saronite grew under the earth. This evil mineral would absorb the vitality of all life near the mineral vein. This situation attracted the attention of Druid.
Druid has always been responsible for maintaining the ecological balance of Azeroth. Seeing this situation, it is natural to want to remove the influence of these strange mineral veins.
At that time, Archdruid Malfurion was often sleeping in Emerald Dream, so the leader of Druid was another Archdruid--Fandral Staghelm·Fandral Staghelm.
This somewhat stubborn and reckless Druid took his men and planted six branches cut off from Nordrassil on Azeroth. These branches quickly grew up and purified Saronite.
However, doing so attracted the spying of a terrifying existence. The root system of World Tree--Andrassil (meaning the crown of the snowfield) planted in Northrend spread into the cage where Yogg-Saron was imprisoned. As a result, this crazy Old Gods corrupted the tree and slowly corrupted several races living nearby.
In the end, Druid had to destroy the tree. Finally, Andrassil was cut off at the middle, and the remaining tree stump was renamed Vordrassil, which is Broken Crown.
Later, the Furbolg people took a fancy to the tree hole in the middle of the tree and built their own town in it - Blackmaw Hold.
"What is Druid?"
"Who is Yogg-Saron?"
"Who is Malfurion?"
"What is World Tree?"
As soon as Aaron finished telling everyone this story, a series of questions arose, causing Aaron to have to answer these people's questions one by one. Without paying attention, he almost bumped into Vordrassil, which made the tree become more broken.
