Faol and Gunther left quickly; they had to return to Naxxramas to continue fighting the Scourge.
There are basically no Scourge forces in Borean Tundra, only the " En'Kilah " controlled by the Nerubians and Faceless Ones, and two or three Nerubian Necropolis. The Stormwind Legion and the Seventh Legion of Theramore are more than capable of dealing with them, not to mention the Horde army, which has a good relationship with Jaina, and has already arrived in Borean Tundra, led by Thrall himself. It is said that Grom has also come.
The situation in Howling Fjord is more tense. The Dragonflayer Clan of Utgarde Keep, the ancestors of humankind and the most powerful Vrykul clan, has been forced to slumber in the face of a flesh-and-blood threat.
When they woke up, the whole world had changed.
Now that the Dragonflayer Clan has allied with Arthas, they have become one of Arthas's sharpest swords, making it no easy task to fight against the Dragonflayer Clan.
Fortunately, the most elite Order of the Silver Hand, along with the equally elite High Elf combined forces, had already arrived in Howling Fjord to confront the Dragonflayer Clan.
Uther the Lightbringer, wielding the Silver Hand Warhammer, should be a match for King Ymiron in both status and strength.
Furthermore, while the Night Elf were fully engaged in fighting the Emerald Nightmare and repairing the damage inflicted on their homeland by the Burning Legion, they still managed to sever a small force—thousands of Night Elf Sentinels and dozens of Druid —to Howling Fjord, led by Archdruid.
Their target was Grizzly Hills, north of Howling Fjord.
The Furbolg there lived in the shadow of the World Tree " Vordrassil," Vordrassil was actually influenced by the Old Gods Yogg-Saron. As a result, the Furbolg were also affected and became corrupted.
Those guys are plotting to resurrect the bear Demigod Ursoc; once resurrected, Ursoc will inevitably be corrupted and fallen.
This was what Jiang Jie told Malfurion, and in exchange for this information, he secured the Night Elf ' expedition, relieving pressure on the Northrend Expedition.
Of course, in return, or rather, out of a sense of responsibility, Jiang Jie would also go to Grizzly Hills when Cenarius, Malfurion, and the others were unavailable, but not now.
There's no need to worry about Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord. Dragonblight will naturally be dealt with by the Scourge of the Wyrmrest Temple. At least a portion of Arthas ' Scourge forces are tied down by the Forsaken. The threat from Storm Peaks can also be handled by the Bronzebeard Dwarves and the Frostborn Dwarves. What Jiang Jie wants to do most now, and what he should do most, is to eliminate the hidden dangers in the other places, while also finding some powerful allies.
Our first stop is Wintergrasp to Crystalsong Forest.
Wintergrasp is completely frozen over, with almost half of it being water, making it the largest body of water in all of Northrend.
Apart from some hard-to-extract mineral deposits, there's nothing here—no animals, no plants—so the Scourge doesn't bother attacking, and the Nerubians have no interest in getting their hands on it.
So far, neither the Horde nor the Alliance, nor even the Night Elf, have set foot here; they're still busy in Borean Tundra and Howling Fjord.
Jiang Jie came here not to fight any enemies, but to find some powerful allies.
These allies are located in the " Vault of Archavon " at the northernmost edge of Wintergrasp.
Legend has it that countless millennia ago, the Titan Keepers built a treasure vault here. Of course, no one knows what was hidden inside, but they left behind four powerful guardians and a great many more minions.
These guardians remained asleep, though some intruders were disturbed and killed.
Jiang Jie didn't care about any treasure, because in his view, the Keeper themselves were a huge treasure.
Although Anveena was there, they couldn't use spells to locate or teleport because they had never been to Wintergrasp before. In addition, with the massive " Tsul'Kalu " in their party, they couldn't ride a griffin or fly in any other way, so they had to walk.
Fortunately, Tsul'Kalu's speed is decent.
A week later, they finally arrived at the treasure vault. It was a building that looked very much like Titans's, and the treasure vault itself was located at the deepest part of the building, deep beneath the mountains.
"Brother, the elemental power here is so strong!"
Upon arriving, Anveena sensed an extremely powerful elemental force and exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise, "It's Legendary- level power! No, it's High-tier Legendary- level power!"
"The guardians left behind by the Titan Keepers are naturally extraordinary."
Jiang Jie smiled and said, "Let's go in and take a look!"
The door was locked from the inside. Just as Jiang Jie was about to have Anveena cast a spell, he saw the White Gorilla take a few steps back with a series of thuds, then Charge and ram into the door with a loud crash!
"... Ape-type siege vehicle." Jiang Jie his head and smiled bitterly.
Are gorillas just like monkeys, always on the go?
When this guy was in Crystalsong Forest, he hunted down countless wild beasts, even clashed with a green dragon, and fought with a certain emerald young dragon, bullying it terribly.
If Jiang Jie hadn't arrived just in time, that jade dragon would have become the White Gorilla's meal!
This guy's strength is truly terrifying, probably as strong as a green dragon that's over ten meters long. His body is covered in explosive muscles; he's practically a tank that can move nimbly!
" Tsul'Kalu, sit down! Stay here and don't move!"
Jiang Jie gave a stern order, and the deaf White Gorilla, with its head hanging low and a wronged expression, plopped down on the ground, causing the earth to tremble.
Jiang Jie wasn't there to steal the treasure, and he had no intention of clashing with the Keeper here.
What if we bring this guy in, and he gets itchy and starts fighting?
" Anveena, let's go."
Ignoring the White Gorilla's pitiful look, Jiang Jie walked into the treasure vault.
Approaching were several earth elemental creatures composed of rock fragments. Judging by their energy intensity alone, they were not much weaker than the earth Elemental Spirits " Wugou." Floating in mid-air, their size was almost the same as that of White Gorilla.
These creatures seemed to have limited intelligence; in fact, most elemental beings do. They were unable to communicate and charged directly at Jiang Jie and Anveena, clearly mistaking them for intruders.
They are the Keeper of this treasure trove, and naturally, they will not allow any unauthorized personnel to trespass!
" Anveena, is there a way to contact those four guardians? Tell them you are Titan Keepers, Azeroth is in danger, and you need them!" Jiang Jie raised his left hand and pushed forward, a force repelling the leading rock guardian. He frowned slightly.
These guys are indeed difficult to deal with. A few are fine, but if dozens of them come at me together, I'll have to be really careful.
Those four guards were undoubtedly stronger and more difficult to deal with!
"Brother, it seems not. I can sense those four giants, but they all seem to be asleep! Hmm, I don't have access to this place, and they aren't Titan Keepers with the necessary permissions; they're just giants, the most powerful giants! I can't contact them... No, they're awakening, they're awakening... They're all awakening!"
Anveena suddenly exclaimed, "All four big guys have woken up! They're talking, brother, listen!"
Suddenly, a deep, resonant voice rang out, echoing throughout the entire treasure vault:
"Intruders, you dare to covet the Titans ' treasure? Only death awaits you!"
