Wait until Aaron brings many elite Warrior including Tyr's Guard, Vrykul Dragoon, Blood Knights and other troops When E arrived outside Crystal Vice, the dragon coalition led by Krasus and Itharius had already been waiting here for a long time.
Hundreds of giant dragons spread their wings and hovered in the sky above Crystal Vice, casting shadows on the ground that covered the sky. Just looking at these giant dragons from a distance, one can feel an unusual momentum.
Because the dragons have their own responsibilities, there are only so many dragons that can be mobilized. Even Red Dragon Queen didn't come over. According to Krasus, Alexstrasza will come with Ysera when the expeditionary force advances to the vicinity of Ulduar. Before that, Red Dragon Queen still has a lot of things to do of his own.
After reuniting with the giant dragons, the expeditionary force entered Crystal Vice. This semi-underground passage was mostly covered by a large crystal. There were many snow giants and ice worms living in it. However, with the protection of the giant dragons, these monsters could only tremble and did not dare to cause any trouble to this huge expeditionary force.
After walking this road, we entered Crystalsong Forest. The climate of this woodland surrounded by surrounding mountains is relatively mild, and even snow is rarely seen.
About two days later, Aaron saw two intersections located north of Crystalsong Forest. From here, it was time to decide where to enter Storm Peaks.
"There are two roads before us now." Aaron stood at Forlorn Woods and looked at the two intersections in front of him. According to Aaron's memory, the west road leads to Snowblind Hills in the south of Storm Peaks In the area, the east side leads to Echo Valley from Icecrown Glacier. There is a small road named Loshidar Path on the north side of Echo Valley, which leads to Storm Peaks.
However, both roads are not easy to walk. It is very simple to enter Snowblind Hills from the west road, but it is a bit difficult to enter other areas of Storm Peaks from the Snowblind Hills area, because there are many mountain obstacles between the area where the Snowblind Hills area is located and other areas of Storm Peaks, and you must use flying mounts to cross that section of the road.
If you go from Echo Valley, although there is a rugged mountain road before entering Lodashir Path, after walking through this mountain road, there is a smooth road to Ulduar.
"Let's go from Echo Valley." Aaron finally pointed to the west road on the map and said. Considering the two factors, it is more convenient to take the Echo Valley route, and it is also convenient for logistical supply work.
After all, Undead in the Icecrown Glacier area have been brought down by Ner'zhul, and they will not come to cause any trouble to the expeditionary force in a short time, and However, in the Snowblind Hills area, no outsiders have entered that area for thousands of years. Whether it is Magnataur or other native races entrenched in that area, they may pose a threat to the logistics supply line of the expeditionary force.
For the dragons who are relatively familiar with the terrain of this area, they don't know how to travel by land anyway. For them, it doesn't make much difference which way they go. While most of the others are not familiar with the terrain of this area, so naturally no one objects to this.
In the game, Echo Valley is the camp established by Argent Crusade under the leadership of Uther in Icecrown Glacier. Relatively speaking, this area is relatively calm and safe, and the terrain of Echo Valley is long and narrow, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is also a good choice as a transit camp before entering Storm Peaks.
Different from the environment in Crystalsong Forest, which is only a short distance away, the terrain of Echo Valley is relatively high, and there are passages connected to Icecrown Glacier, causing the area to be covered with snow and ice. Although most of the expeditionary force has adapted to the cold of Northrend, they still feel a little uncomfortable after entering Echo Valley.
Aaron Although Aaron knew that there was a path leading to Storm Peaks, but they did not know the specific location, so they asked everyone to spread out to find the path. This was not an easy task. After all, there were places where you could walk up for a while, but you would be blocked by snowy rocks or steep cliffs in the middle. You could only try one by one to find the best path.
"It's so cold here. It wasn't that cold last time I came here." Vereesa wrapped her leather jacket tightly around her body, stamped her feet to shake off the snow on her leather boots, and complained.
Although most of the rangers have some spells that can help them adapt to various environments, these spells can only take effect in a short period of time. If you want to resist the cold weather of Northrend, you still need to wear more cold-proof clothes. Even Vereesa has to wrap himself in a thick leather coat.
After finishing speaking, Vereesa turned his head and looked at the purple young eagle that landed on his shoulder, "Lightning seems to be very adapted to the environment here. It's strange. This little guy should be more adapted to the forest environment."
After struggling for a long time, Vereesa finally gave a name to the young eagle he raised personally. Although this young eagle, with the blood of the eagle god Akil'zon flowing in its body, is still too early to reach adulthood, it is already nearly half a meter in length. From time to time, one or two lightning flashes will flash on the dark purple feathers on its body.
Unlike Vereesa, who stayed away from the cold, the young eagle Lightning became a little excited after entering Echo Valley. From time to time, it would raise its head to the sky and let out one or two sharp eagle calls.
"Is there something in the sky?" Aaron said to Vereesa, looking up at the sky but unable to see clearly what was on the clear sky.
"There seem to be a few eagles in the sky." Vereesa cast a Eagle Eye, looked in the sky, and found several flying eagles hovering in the sky. It seems that Lightning was excited just because he saw his companions. Unfortunately, Lightning is not yet fully grown, and its flying ability is far from enough for it to fly to high altitudes and play with those of its kind. It can only be envied in vain.
"Okay, Lightning, if you want to fly up, you need to practice flying more." Vereesa softly comforted Lightning, who was a little depressed.
"Aaron, we have found the passage you mentioned. Earthen are digging into the ice there. They said it will take about half a day to widen the mountain road enough to accommodate large-scale irregularities. Do you want to go over and have a look?" Halduron trembled and walked to Aaron, pointing to the west of the temporary camp and said.
Earthen The people are busy digging into the ice under the mountain wall, trying to widen the steep path.
