Aaron doesn't know where Lich King has gone at this moment, but he has noticed something abnormal in his heart.
Although Ner'zhul currently does not have millions of Undead under his command, just conquering Azjol-Nerub provided Scourge with dozens or millions of Undead Warrior, plus Ner'zhul from Icecrown Glacier, Howling Fjord and other places Vrykul, Tuskarr, Magnataur, Taunka... etc. Undead soldiers obtained from the indigenous races of Northrend, the current number of Scourge is by no means a small number.
From the time Aaron and Krasus agreed to retaliate against Ner'zhul, to the time when the mighty dragon army arrived at Icecrown Glacier, less than ten days were consumed. This time should not be enough for all Undead to evacuate from Icecrown Glacier, and they disappeared without a trace.
Since Ner'zhul is willing to use Frostmourne and a Dreadlord to attract the attention of the dragon, it means that they are in a hurry. Maybe when the dragons arrive, the Undeads have not completely evacuated.
So where are the Undeads? Aaron is leaning on Frostmourne and looking at Icecrown Citadel at his feet. Maybe those guys with the rotten smell are among them.
After discussing with Krasus, the dragons surrounded Icecrown Citadel under the command of Krasus. Several dragons found the entrances of several Icecrown Citadel and entered them cautiously.
Because Ner'zhul's subordinates currently do not have the effectiveness of Frost Wyrm, and Undead Among the Legion, most of the flying Undead were killed by the dragons in the previous blocking battle. Only a few Gargoyle were still in the corner of Icecrown Citadel. After noticing the appearance of the dragons, the few remaining Gargoyle flew out with a roar and pounced on the dragons.
However, this number of Gargoyle was no match for the dragon. Just the breath of a few dragons wiped them all clean. After the dragons defeated these enemies, they occupied several entrances to the fortress.
I don't know whether the Dreadlords responsible for building this fortress like all kinds of tall buildings, or to facilitate some giant Undeads to enter the fortress. The entrances to Icecrown Citadels are all built to be extremely huge. Even adult dragons can easily enter through these entrances.
"Let's go in from here?" Aaron controlled the gryphon and took Krasus to fly to the gate of Icecrown Citadel. This is where Aaron would enter the fortress every time he came to brush Lich King.
"Aaron You seem to be familiar with this place?" Krasus asked curiously. Aaron only said that he wanted to enter the fortress through the gate, but he did not expect Aaron took them to the gate of Icecrown Citadel with ease, making Krasus feel as if Aaron had gone home.
"Well, I guess..." Aaron sighed, and once again told Krasus that he was actually a prophet who had predicted many future scenarios.
Krasus showed a thoughtful expression after listening to what Aaron said, and then looked at the extremely tall and spectacular fortress gate in front of him, "This must be a very important place, it can make such a deep impression on you."
"It's important... it's really important." Aaron said with a little embarrassment. He couldn't tell Krasus that he had to come here often because he was unlucky and couldn't get the mount on Lich King.
But this place is indeed very important. After all, it is also the headquarters of Scourge and the home of Lich King. However, Aaron's familiarity with this place is limited to the door.
The actual layout of the fortress is different from the game map that Aaron is familiar with. This has been verified by Aaron in many places such as Zul'Aman, Uldaman, Gnomeregan, etc. Along the way, he cracked various traps left by Ner'zhul's men and Dreadlord, and everyone followed the traces left by Undead in the fortress to the lower end of the fortress.
"I really didn't expect the smell here to be so bad." Aaron walked among Icecrown Citadel, wrinkling his nose from time to time. Ever since he came in, Aaron could smell a strong and pungent stench running straight into his room, giving him a faint headache.
"Believe me, everyone here feels it more deeply than you." Krasus said with a bitter face, and then cast a small spell on himself and everyone else to help everyone filter out the stench around them.
"This spell is very convenient." Aaron took a deep breath, and then looked at Vereesa who was looking for a way ahead. It was precisely because of Vereesa's guidance that everyone was able to find the traces of Undead.
Except for Vereesa, everyone else could only get a mess when looking at the traces left by Undead on the ground. Only Vereesa could find the latest traces from various clues, and use this to find the way for Undeads.
Fortunately, the traces left on Undead's body were very obvious, and these guys were walking in such a hurry that they had no time to eliminate the traces. In the end, everyone followed these traces to the bottom of the fortress, where a tunnel appeared in front of everyone, a tunnel that was dug in a hurry.
The other areas in the fortress are all wrapped in black stone slabs with a uniform style. Only this passage is surrounded by exposed soil, and there are still traces of some kind of claw digging on the soil.
"I feel the remnants of some evil spell here." Krasus stood at the entrance of the passage and said after carefully observing it.
Although Krasus was of little help in investigation, his attainments in magic were unparalleled by few. He was keenly aware that someone had used some kind of magic that he was not familiar with during the excavation of the passage.
"Is it Undead's spell? Or is it Fel's spell?" Aaron asked.
Krasus shook his head, but there was some hesitation in his words, "There is no breath of death and Fel, more like..."
At this moment, Vereesa stood in the passage and said to Aaron, "Aaron, come and take a look, this kind of trace is a bit..."
"What traces?" Aaron came to Vereesa and looked at the location she pointed out. The soil was full of traces scratched by sharp claws, and there were also traces left by some kind of deformed teeth.
However, the location Vereesa points to is not just these two traces, there is also a very strange trace, which looks like a trace left by a squirming mollusk, or a trace shoveled out by a stick with extremely strong power.
Aaron The image of a certain creature immediately appeared in his mind:
"It's Faceless Ones!"
"It's Faceless Ones's spell." At the same time, Krasus on the side also made a sound of realization.
