"I'm going to shoot it!"
Jiang Jie looked up at the sky.
In fact, the entire Icecrown Citadel was built around an ice tower that never melts, and may even be eternal.
That was an ice tower created by Kil'jaeden, composed of a large amount of rock and then frozen with ice, known as the " Icecrown Spire." Chains stretched from the top to the bottom; those were enchanted chains, sealing the ice tower and also sealing the Lich King's fate.
At the very top of the ice tower lies an eternal ice coffin of the Frozen Lich King Ner'zhul, known as the " Frozen Throne."
Along this ice tower, which resembles an ice cone magnified countless times, there is a spiral staircase leading from bottom to top, all the way to the Frozen Throne.
This is the Frozen Throne as it is now, different from what Jiang Jie remembers, because it is not yet fully completed. The outermost general outline is complete, but many things inside have not been built, such as the specific structure of each area, as well as the stairs and corridors leading to the central ice tower.
The reason Jiang Jie didn't initially intend to fly into the sky and kill the Lich King in one blow was because the Lich King at that time had not yet bestowed all his power upon Arthas; he himself was still a Demigod- level powerhouse.
He couldn't leave the Frozen Throne, and his power couldn't extend to other places, but near the Frozen Throne, his power was extremely strong. Let alone seven Phoenix Arrow, even if Jiang Jie were given 100 Phoenix Arrow, he wouldn't be able to kill the Lich King. Instead, he might be killed by the Lich King directly.
Now, the Lich King has bestowed all his power upon Arthas, but Jiang Jie has also arrived beneath the Ice Tower. Leaving Icecrown Citadel and flying to the Frozen Throne will take some time, but no one will give him that time.
Fly directly up from below the ice tower?
That won't work either.
Because at regular intervals, ice flows along the chains, freezing the ice tower and the surrounding buildings together, forming a thick layer of ice. This ice was likely created by the Lich King Ner'zhul before Arthas's arrival to protect himself.
Since he was going to bestow all power upon Arthas, how could he not protect himself beforehand?
Arthas arrived at Icecrown Citadel almost at the same time as Jiang Jie and his group. As soon as he reached the Icecrown Spire, he encountered Jiang Jie Jiang Jie and his companions and had to fight them to stop them. Only now, with Illidan subdued by Maiev and more Undead gathering, did Arthas have a chance to shake off the enemy and head to the Frozen Throne.
Not all ice is the same.
The ice of the Frozen Throne was created by Kil'jaeden himself, originating from the Twisting Nether, making it quite unique. Now, due to the great earthquake, it has shattered, and even Ner'zhul himself is unable to repair it. Therefore, he had no choice but to recall Arthas and merge him with him; otherwise, Arthas would soon be exhausted, leaving only a sorrowful and fragile soul.
But the ice created by the Lich King was quite ordinary.
With Frostmourne in hand, Arthas could easily break through the ice and reach the Frozen Throne. He could then create ice behind him to block Jiang Jie and his group, as well as the large number of Undead rushing down from above, thus buying him time.
Jiang Jie was unable to easily break through these ice layers, and therefore could not reach the Frozen Throne faster than Arthas.
But Jiang Jie had other options.
Or rather, he knew someone else had a way.
Countless Undead had already surged forward, but Kel'Thuzad retreated with Arthas. Although he was not afraid of death, he did not want to die either, and with Kel'Thuzad helping to maintain the ice wall, Arthas could proceed to the Frozen Throne with greater peace of mind.
Once Arthas reaches the Frozen Throne and merges with the Lich King Ner'zhul, everything will be set in stone. So there's no need to fight head-on now; just defend and stay alive.
Anub'arak remained, right in front of the ice wall, with Herald Volazj standing beside him. Thousands upon thousands of Undead swarmed from the upper levels of Icecrown Citadel. So many Undead were terrifying; there was simply no way to resist them!
"Lady Tyrande, do you remember that arrow from Mount Hyjal? Can we... do it again?" Jiang Jie asked the Priestess of the Moon.
"Okay!" Tyrande agreed immediately.
Only that one arrow could possibly traverse hundreds of meters of space, pass through the obstruction of more than a dozen ice walls, and directly attack and destroy the Frozen Throne Frozen Throne.
Tyrande put away her longbow and began to pray.
The moon hangs high in the sky, and Elune's gaze is forever fixed on her chosen ones. The Lich King's power cannot sever the Moon Goddess's favor. As long as Elune does not abandon Tyrande, no one can kill Tyrande; she possesses unimaginable power.
Tyrande, blessed by the Moon Goddess, is practically a Demigod.
"Your Highness Prince Kael'thas, once the Frozen Throne is destroyed, the Lich King's spiritual power will rapidly weaken, significantly reducing interference with teleportation. Please prepare a teleportation spell immediately; we need to leave as soon as possible." Jiang Jie glanced at the hundreds-of-meters-tall Icecrown Spire, frowned, and then looked at Kael'thas: "Now, immediately!"
"Good!"
Although he didn't understand what gave Jiang Jie the confidence to destroy the Frozen Throne, he knew Jiang Jie and knew that since Jiang Jie had spoken, he must have a way.
Unfortunately, by the time the battle at Mount Hyjal ended, he had already traveled to Kalimdor, heading towards the Tomb of Sargeras. Although we know that the Night Elf ultimately triumphed, the specifics of how that victory was achieved are unclear.
So he was still unaware of how terrifying that arrow was.
Otherwise, he would definitely have complete confidence in Jiang Jie!
Kael'thas immediately began preparing a large-scale teleportation spell.
This time, there's no need to teleport across continents; he only needs to teleport outside Icecrown Citadel or to Dragonblight. The distance isn't too far, and including all the surviving High Elf mages, there are only fifty or sixty people. For Legendary mage like him, who is proficient in Teleport, it's not difficult.
What? You mean Vashj and hundreds of Naga?
I'm sorry, but do you really think Kael'thas would even consider them?
You're overthinking it.
"Ms. Maiev, regardless of past grievances, at least for now, we must cooperate to face our common enemy. You did that before, and now please do it again! You don't need to kill the enemy, but you must protect Ms. Tyrande and not let anyone disturb her... Success or failure hinges on this!" Jiang Jie looked at Maiev, his voice cold yet sincere.
Maiev didn't speak, but she answered with her actions.
She left Illidan and came to Tyrande's side; the cold light shimmering from the moon was the best protection. As long as she was there, no Undead could get close to Tyrande.
" Uncle Chen, Malfurion, we need time!" Jiang Jie looked at the surging Undead and the dozens of Faceless Ones: "Attack is the best defense! Repel them! Don't let them get closer! Uncle Chen, your bamboo staff must be itching for a fight, right?"
"Your Uncle Chen is the one who's really thirsting for it! Where's the wine you promised? You'd better get me a hundred barrels of wine! And no two of them the same!" Old Chen yelled, determined to get it.
Primal Split!
Three elemental pandas appeared, but they were weaker than the previous two. Their energy levels couldn't keep up, and their elemental power was constantly being depleted. The Water Elemental power was okay here, but the other two elements were almost impossible to replenish, and Old Chen couldn't do anything about it.
But that's enough!
The Monk have a technique called " Storm, Earth, and Fire," which involves separating an elemental panda from the main body to attack the enemy together. However, even most Monk masters can only summon one or at most two elemental pandas. Moreover, in this way, both the main body and the elemental pandas can only exert 70-80%, or even 50-60%, of their original strength.
Old Chen's " Primal Split " is an advanced version of "Wind, Storm, Earth, and Fire." It not only separates into three elemental pandas, but each of them possesses about half of Old Chen's own strength, while his main body's strength remains unchanged. In addition to his own powerful elemental power, strong mental strength is also very important.
Only Monk Grandmaster like him could do that!
The Monk fighting desperately were two different creatures from ordinary Monk; their frenzied battle even caught Malfurion's attention, unleashing a green storm.
Old Chen's level is no longer limited to the distinctions between the Drunken Immortal, Windwalker, and Mistweaver factions; he transcends factions and has achieved a comprehensive understanding of them. This green storm is not only a combat storm but also a healing mist, containing five or six Healing Sphere and Chi Sphere that can replenish Old Chen Old Chen's Chi and heal his injuries at any time.
Malfurion is fighting desperately!
The Dire Bear Form was too slow and unsuitable for group attacks, so Malfurion transformed into a two-meter-tall Great Wolf!
Yes, Wolf Form.
Malfurion was the first Druid to master Wolf Form.
The Cenarion Circle banned Druid Wolf Form because most Druid couldn't control it, but Malfurion can now.
Of all Animal Form, the Wolf Form is the most aggressive and wildest.
Malfurion set an example by never using his Wolf Form normally, but now, in this most critical moment, he had no choice but to use Wolf Form to protect Tyrande.
He howled at the moon, and although the wildness of the Goldrinn made him frantic, the Legendary Druid's natural calming ability kept him calm and rational as he charged toward the countless Undead.
Seeing the performance of the two Legendary powerhouses, Jiang Jie finally felt relieved.
"Well then, it's our turn now, Anveena!"
