After solving the obstacles Undead and Necropolis, the dragon has only one target left - Icecrown Citadel.
Even before everyone flew to Icecrown Glacier, they could still see the towering castle and its affiliated buildings from a distance.
From a distance, the most conspicuous thing about Icecrown Citadel is the towering spire in the middle. There are several symmetrical spires on both sides of the main tower. Below the spire are the main building of Icecrown Citadel and the solid city wall on the outside. Against the background of Icecrown Glacier's year-round clouds, it gives people a strong sense of oppression.
Riding the griffin and looking at Icecrown Citadel from a distance, Aaron thought of the days when he beat Lich King once a week before traveling through time. Unfortunately, the current Lich King is Ner'zhul, and Aaron's cherished mount - Invincible, is still only a three or four-year-old pony, and Arthas usually doesn't want to ride it.
"What's wrong, what are you thinking about?" Vereesa noticed Aaron's abnormality, lightly tapped Aaron's shoulder, and asked softly.
Just when Aaron saw the thing and missed its human (mount), the dragons had already dispersed under the command of Krasus and surrounded Icecrown Citadel. Lich King, who was just waiting for an order to spy on the dragon's corpse, paid a heavy price.
"Isn't it a little too quiet here?" Aaron, who came back to his senses, lowered his head and glanced down, and said, "Can you see if there is Undead on the ground?"
"Let's see..." Vereesa heard this and released a Eagle Eye. He lowered his head and looked down. With the blessing of the spell, Vereesa's already excellent eyesight became even stronger. Even at an altitude of hundreds of meters, he could clearly see the situation on the ground.
The ground of Icecrown Glacier is covered with ice-like snow, and only a few roads have been cleared, revealing the dark land below. Vereesa heard this from Aaron when he came last time, so it's not too surprising.
It's just like Aaron said, this area is too quiet, and the ground is empty. Not to mention the Undead army, not even half a skeleton can be seen. Vereesa, who felt incredible about this, hurriedly looked in other directions. As a result, she scanned the entire area within her sight, but in the end she could not see a single Undead.
"It seems... there really is no one." Vereesa told Aaron the results of his investigation, and guessed. "Did all the Undead here disperse while we were fighting before?"
"It's possible." Aaron nodded, controlled the griffon to fly towards Krasus, and told Krasus what he had just discovered, "Undead seems to have all evacuated, something is wrong."
"I also discovered this, but..." Krasus said, raising his head and motioning Aaron to look towards the top of Icecrown Citadel, "I found that there are very powerful creatures there. I can smell the breath of death up there from such a distance. Our main target should be up there."
"Lich King didn't leave?" Aaron narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the top of Icecrown Citadel. After time traveling, although his vision was greatly enhanced, it was still not as good as High Elf, let alone the giant dragon. "Be careful, there may be a scam."
Aaron is not surprised that Lich King failed to evacuate. After all, this guy was frozen in the ice. It is not that easy to leave. In "Original History", Illidan led his army to kill Icecrown Citadel. Ner'zhul had no choice but to call Arthas for immediate rescue, but considering the cunningness of Ner'zhul and Dreadlord, Aaron thought it was better to be careful.
"I think so too, so I want to check the situation first, and no one else can come forward." Krasus said, spread his wings and flew towards the main tower of Icecrown Citadel.
Aaron saw Krasus flying over and urged the gryphon to follow. However, he suddenly thought that Vereesa was still behind him, so he turned back to Vereesa and said, "It might be a bit dangerous next, do you want to..."
"It's okay," Vereesa understood what he meant before Aaron finished speaking. However, Miss Windrunner said that she was not someone to be trifled with. She was an excellent ranger after all, and she also had a magical weapon in her hand. She didn't dare to say anything else. At least she could protect herself in danger.
Seeing Vereesa's firm attitude, Aaron said no more. Unless Ner'zhul gathered all the Undeads on top of Icecrown Citadel, then Aaron really wasn't that good. Afraid, after all, Ner'zhul's men currently don't really have strong combat power. Anub'arak is dead, Lich are few in number, and Death Knight is still missing. I'm afraid there are only a few Dreadlord who deserve to be treated with caution.
Thinking like this, Aaron has chased Krasus and flew to the top of Icecrown Citadel. The top of Icecrown Citadel is a huge ice-covered platform. On the edge of the platform stands a several-meter-high Frozen Throne. That is the famous ice toilet... No, Frozen Throne.
At a glance, you can see a tall black figure frozen in the throne, but Aaron knows that it is just a full-body armor. Ner'zhul's soul is attached to it and disturbs most of Northrend's peace, but he is not allowed to move freely at all.
"That... thing, is it Ner'zhul?" Vereesa has long heard Aaron talk about the origin of Lich King. Seeing it with my own eyes was different after all. Looking at the black shadow frozen in the throne, Vereesa felt a little frightened in his heart. Although it was very slight, it also showed how terrifying Lich King was.
"It should be so. I thought there would be a lot of people here, but I didn't expect it to be so empty." Aaron looked at the platform below in surprise. He thought Ner'zhul would arrange all Undead here to ambush the intruders, but he didn't expect that the platform was empty, and it didn't look like there was an ambush at all.
Of course, there was not a single person on this platform. In the center of the platform stood a tall demon with bat wings on his back and two horns on his head.
Aaron took a look and realized that this was not Dreadlord, an old acquaintance. He just didn't know which one he was. Aaron couldn't tell the difference between these Dreadlords. Even the two Dreadlords he had seen last time stood in front of Aaron, and I'm afraid he couldn't recognize them.
"One Red Dragonflight, one Paladin, and one ranger, do you have this much power?" Dreadlord raised his head and looked at the enemies in the air, showing a sarcastic smile, "Are you here to die?"
"So much nonsense, I'm going to let you die today." Aaron didn't talk nonsense. He threw a Holy Light at the opponent. Vereesa behind him simultaneously shot an arrow containing the power of thunder. Krasus on the other side, although slightly slower, also spit out a dragon's breath covering Dreadlord.
