While Aaron was observing the pool filled with a strange smell, Xal'atath continued to murmur about his achievements.
Before the expeditionary force launched the attack, Xal'atath mixed with Valkyrion again and delivered a false message to the person in charge of Valkyrion: Frost Giant in the Dun Niffelem area crossed over from Snowdrift Plains to attack Valkyrion.
Relying on his extraordinary ability in mental control, Xal'atath easily made these Val'kyrs who had some flaws in all aspects believe his words, so the Val'kyrs who had a grudge against Frost Giant led a large number of people in the direction of Snowdrift Plains.
Before these Val'kyr who left the village could react, the expeditionary force quickly broke through Valkyrion's defense, and then it became the expeditionary force's side who had the advantage of the location.
Those Val'kyr who left the village quickly realized that something was wrong, but failed to recapture Valkyrion from the expeditionary force. Just the dragons gradually gathering from all directions frightened these Val'kyr freshmen, plus
"But in this way, we are equivalent to completely exposing ourselves to Loken's sight." In order to interrupt Xal'atath's nagging, Aaron deliberately looked towards the mountains in the northeast and said so.
Before coming into contact with these Val'kyr, even if Loken knew through Old Gods that Aaron was coming to attack him, it was not clear when they would come back.
And now these escaped Val'kyr will definitely tell Loken about the arrival of the expeditionary force. I just don't know how Loken will greet the expeditionary force. Maybe the next day they will find that a large number of Iron Dwarves and Iron Vrykul have appeared outside the village of Valkyrion.
"By the way, you have been researching here for a long time, have you discovered anything?" What Xal'atath was nagging there just now was not actually for Aaron to listen to, but he hoped that a certain unnamed black-hearted boss Azeroth could hear what he said and see if the other party could find out with conscience and no longer have to tie himself to Aaron.
It's a pity that Azeroth clearly heard Xal'atath's contact, but completely ignored this paragraph. Xal'atath, who was used to this kind of treatment, simply gave up the idea and started to study this pool instead.
Unlike Azeroth, who has mastered the core technology of Odyn, the technology used by Ner'zhul to make Val'kyr was actually figured out by himself, and the one provided to Loken is an even incomplete version. The gap between the technology in the pool in front of him and the technology of Azeroth is completely different.
"This pool is completely deceptive. The real core is actually at the bottom of the pool." Xal'atath pointed at the temporarily dug pool and said.
"Then let's drain this pool and see what happens?" Aaron suggested.
"Are you going to empty this pool?" Kael'thas came over. After hearing Aaron's words, he immediately summoned the Fire Phoenix, letting the fire bird with its body covered in flames get into the pool water. Soon the small pool began to boil. For a while, the surrounding area of the pool was filled with that strange smell, which gradually became choking.
"Ahem, what does this smell like?" Kael'thas saw this and hurriedly called Ao out. After a while, the water in the pool had dropped a lot.
"Actually, apart from the smell, it's not a big problem. It will only give you a headache." Xal'atath said nonchalantly.
"Forget it, let's wait until the Earthens arrive." Aaron couldn't completely believe what Xal'atath said. Although this guy probably wouldn't be playing any tricks on this matter, the headache she mentioned was definitely not an understatement like what she said. It would be better to play it safe.
Finally, after waiting for several days in Valkyrion village, Earthen who completed the construction of the transfer station arrived at Valkyrion under the leadership of Archaedas.
These Earthen, who are good at construction, quickly drained all the water in this pool - strangely enough, the water in the pool showed no signs of freezing even in the ice and snow.
After all the water in the pool was released, a magic array constructed with runes containing death magic was revealed at the bottom of the pool. According to Xal'atath's induction, there was some connection between this magic array and Ner'zhul. Val'kyr's transformation was entirely dependent on the magic power of Ner'zhul, and it had little to do with the pool.
After making this clear, Aaron simply destroyed these runes to prevent Ner'zhul from doing anything else with these runes.
While waiting for Earthen to arrive, the reinforcements Xal'atath called from Azeroth also arrived at Valkyrion, Annhylde and Aradne and two Val'kyr came all the way from Sholazar Basin to assist Xal'atath in converting the captured Val'kyrs.
As Xal'atath became more and more skilled, it took only three days for this guy to pull all the hundreds of captured Val'kyr into his own camp.
Seeing hundreds of golden Val'kyrs suspended in a neat square array over Valkyrions, all the Vrykuls knelt down devoutly, and their morale was suddenly boosted.
Taking advantage of the high morale of these people, Aaron took advantage of the situation and announced that they would continue to march. After leaving Valkyrion, which had been reduced to ruins, the forward of the expeditionary force quickly entered an open plain along a path leading to the northeast.
Aaron originally thought that after the expeditionary force showed its strength in front of Val'kyr, Loken and his troops would set up an ambush on this path. As a result, the entire journey was very safe. Not to mention the blocking forces, not even a single enemy was encountered.
Aaron originally summoned a group of scattered reconnaissance dragons to escort the expeditionary force on the ground, but it turned out that doing so was just a worry. I don't know what Loken guy wanted to do. Could it be that he wanted to stage a grand formation and fight the expeditionary force for life and death? Yogg-Saron probably wouldn't let him do that.
"This area is Snowdrift Plains." Aaron pointed at the open snowfield in front of him and said to the people around him.
This is a plain area that is close to a parallelogram, just like other flat areas of Storm Peaks. Snowdrift Plains is surrounded by high mountains, which surround this area, forming a nearly closed basin area. As far as the eye can see, only the path Aaron and the others came here and a mountain road in the east of the plain connect other areas.
"Aaron, we found traces of the Iron Dwarves you mentioned here." Just when Aaron was commanding the expeditionary force to build a temporary camp against the exit of the trail, an adult Green Dragonflight circled down from the sky and landed in front of Aaron. It was Lord Itharius.
