25. Phase 2 - The Immheim explosion
Imitheim, the Wraith Hell in Viku, was built in the very center of the Icecrown Wasteland and originally existed as the Great Catacombs of the Viku people, who have had a tradition of storing their bones here since the Yuldin clan recorded history. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is almost tens of thousands of years of accumulation, and its amount is naturally considerable.
Arthas couldn't even awaken all the undead bones here at once before he fused the power of Naozu, and it wasn't until he became the true ruler of the entire Undead Scourge that he awakened all the undead souls here to serve as the most powerful legion under his command.
Even Dick didn't have the luxury of having an entirely warlike Viku legion, but Arthas did, and was not afraid of attrition.
Of course, the Angasa battlefield had sent less than a fifth of them, and the coalition forces had already suffered a lot, and now, under the wrath of the fooled Arthas, the bones of the Viku people of the entire Immheim were moving quickly, and in the roar of the frost dragons, the vanguard riding on these bone dragons had set off and rushed as fast as possible in the direction of the Echo Valley, which was being raided.
The ground troops were also integrated within 10 minutes, and under the leadership of many Viku death knights, they advanced from the only exit of Imiheim, which is a crater terrain, and that exit was dug out by the Yurdin clan back then, this is a large tomb, and the people of Viku will not be idle, building a road to a tomb in all directions.
But this exit is huge, and it can hold hundreds of Veku Necrons at one time.
But just as the Viku necromancers were gathering, under the windy, hazy, chaotic sky, in the col on the side of the crater exit, a group of sneaky creatures were cowering and looking towards Imeheim, who was almost shrouded in the air of death.
These guys are very small, almost half the height of adults, and if you look closely, they only have four fingers on one hand, but each one of them is particularly energetic, this is the dwarf, one of the most intelligent creatures in Azeroth, the product of the mechanical gnomes of the Titan's guardian Mimiron in the past, who have been cursed by the flesh.
According to the research of the mages, the average IQ of these little men is one-third higher than that of humans, and two-fifths higher than that of orcs, and their intelligence makes up for the weakness of physical strength to a great extent, these little men have a unique talent for engineering, but due to their main city a few years ago, the city of science and technology, Nomorigan, was attacked and fell by the stone palatinous monsters from the underground, and when the gnomes fled, there was some chaos, which caused the vitality of this race to be greatly damaged, so in recent years, it is rare to see the shadow of the dwarf。
But this time, the gnomes, a race with a weak sense of existence, were in the limelight, and if it were not for the cover of the engineering artillery positions they had placed on the Angasa front, it is estimated that when the first wave of war came, the line of defense would have been breached by the undead.
And now, these gnomes are secretly hiding in the most treacherous land in the world, and naturally it is not for sightseeing. Most of them were wearing specially made, heavy engineering armor, and the things they were carrying were not knives, guns, swords, and halberds, but oversized wrenches, screwdrivers, and even working welders.
Those who can carry this kind of thing must be the engineering masters of Azeroth, and ordinary people don't dare to buckle this unstable thing on their heads, but this kind of engineering goggles, in the eyes of those who know, are real treasures, according to the level of the maker, it can cover 1-5 completely different spell effects at the same time, especially for hunters or assassins who need extremely high eyesight, it is definitely very lucky to be able to buy a master-made goggles.
But here and now, as soon as this kind of black market appears, it will be copied to the extremely high-priced master goggles, at least 20 small people have them, and they are all modified high-end goods, which means that there are at least 20 engineering masters here... It's definitely a shocking thing.
"Hey, I said, how is the 'big guy' placed? Is the disguise done?"
A gray-haired dwarf stretched out his hand and pushed the engineering eye upward, and the heavy six-layer lenses bounced open one by one, revealing his eyes, which were a pair of beautiful blue eyes, and with his very joyful, very cute face, it made people have an unexpected affinity.
But it was evident that the old dwarf had a very high status among these dwarf engineering masters, and as soon as he opened his mouth, an engineer immediately replied,
"The disguise was done 20 minutes ago, Binspile personally arranged it, those damn Viku necromancers won't be able to find it, don't worry, master craftsman!
The gnome named the Great Artisan scratched his head severely, he was the current ruler of Nomorigan, the Grand Artisan of the Council of Craftsmen, Mekatok, recognized by the entire civilized world as "the smartest man in Azeroth", and the best and greatest master engineer in the world.
This operation was personally invited by Muradin, the full name was designed by the master himself, and the gnomes secretly made a super-large mana bomb while building an artillery position, just for this moment.
Mecatok nodded, he stretched out his left hand, and on his wrist was fixed a precision instrument, which was a gadget he made with his own hands, which could measure wind speed, temperature, humidity, corrosion, magic... In short, it is powerful, and the master craftsmen use it as a pocket watch.
He glanced back in the direction of Echo Valley, the form of the Icecrown Glacier was too dangerous, so even if the gnomes tried their best, they could only find a way to block the reinforcements of the ground forces of the undead towards Echo Valley, and the sky was densely packed with gargoyles and frost dragons, there was nothing they could do.
At this time, Mecatok knew that his old friend was fighting to the death in the valley where there was no way to escape, and all he could do was to do his best to relieve his old friend of some pressure.
Just when the dwarf engineers were anxiously waiting, Mecatok's "watch" suddenly remembered the alarm sound of "Didi Didi", and the master craftsman was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand back,
"Stand still, wait until the undead are out of the valley, and then blast!"
The gnome engineers immediately dispersed and ran to the equipment hidden in the col to get busy, the process of detonating an oversized mana bomb was extremely complicated, far from being as simple as flipping a switch, which is why there are so many engineering masters here, they are about to carry out the largest explosion in the entire history of Azeroth, dominated by the mortal race.
Mecatok stretched out his hand and put a king-size black engineering wrench behind his back, which was his weapon and his best maintenance equipment, he pressed it on the engineering goggles, and the six layers of lenses closed one by one, and this dark world appeared more clearly in his eyes, and he accentuated his tone,
"I'll detonate it myself!"
Albaz Blood Poison galloped from the center of the Immheim Tomb towards the basin with the Viku Necromancer of the Jurdin clan, and he and his lieutenant rode on a tall death horse, carrying a bloody rune axe on his back, his cold face was indifferent.
Bloodpoison was one of the soldiers who followed Arthas to Northrend that year, he was not surnamed Bloodpoison, this name was given to him by Arthas later, he always regarded it as an honor, but this powerful death knight has not appeared many times in the past, because since Arthas became the Lord of the Scourge, Bloodpoison has always been on the Icecrown Glacier with Arthas's orders, commanding the most powerful Viku legion in Arthas.
He's the only one of Arthas's trusts, and as his name suggests, he's cruel, vicious, and smells deadly with every drop of blood, and this time, he'll take the Lich King's greatest power to crush the intruders who don't know what to live or die with.
However, Blood Poison is a powerful death knight after all, and when he was close to the edge of Imichim, Blood Poison's face became more and more weird, and he felt more and more that there was a problem with the road in front of him!
In the midst of scattered snowflakes and howling dark cold winds, Orbazz suddenly stretched out his left hand, and the galloping Viku Necromantic Legion behind him suddenly stopped in place, and the blood poison cautiously manipulated the reins of the death horse, and led the death knights around him to the gate in front of him in the style of the Viku.
It was a stone, almost embedded gate in the mountains on either side, and from the inside, it was exactly the same as before, the same cold, the same silence, in the never-ending icy storm of Icecrown, like a gateway to the land of death.
There was nothing different, the blood poison carefully checked every place, and finally determined that there was no problem, but there was always a voice in his heart telling him, danger!
Bloodpoison raised his head, he looked in the direction of Echo Valley, where the invaders were fighting, trying to seize the master's land, and Imeheim was far away from Echo Valley, and there were enough necromancy around the Icecrown Fortress to drive away, but now, Arthas directly ordered Bloodpoison to go with the Viku to reinforce... That's enough to tell.
"Something is wrong at the front..."
The bloody poisonous hands rubbed against the cold bridles, and finally made up their minds,
"Forward!"
Under his order, the first group of Viku passed through the gate unharmed, and the blood poison's heart relaxed for a moment, but at this moment, he saw the ground that had been lifted up with a layer of snow due to the walking of the Viku necromancers, and the frozen ground at the bottom of the ground was obviously showing a trace of abnormal thawing.
This discovery made the blood poison's eyes widen, this is the icecrown glacier, the temperature is about minus 10 degrees all year round, and there is no possibility of actively melting ice and snow, so... Problematic!
"Stop!"
At the same moment, Mecatok's nimble fingers entered an 18-digit password on the small workbench in front of him, and then lightly clicked on the blood-red button in the center of the worktop.
A dazzling blue electric spark flowed rapidly in the dark night, and the blood poison saw the blue fluorescence for the first time, and he flew up from his warhorse, holding the blood-red rune battle axe in his hand, like a black shadow, towards Mekatok's hiding place.
But the next moment, the electric spark quickly stepped into the frozen ground, in the glacier, the mana bomb accepted this order, and the unstable energy inside began to flow rapidly, in a thousandth of a second, all the energy was urged to the most active state, and...
"Boom!"
The orange-red flames erupted upwards from under the rapidly melting, exploding, and shattering glaciers in a state of overwhelming mountains, and soared straight into the sky for more than ten meters, and the Necro spirits of the Viku people who were at the point of the explosion didn't even have time to wail before they were completely vaporized, it was not a flame, but a carrier of huge chaotic energy in the present world, it was far more dangerous than flames!
Icecrown is not land!
It is a glacier, when it encounters the impact of a big bang of this magnitude, it is far more fragile than the earth, the ground is cracked, the thick permafrost is thrown into the sky hundreds of meters high, the center of the entire icecrown glacier is mourning, and after the detailed calculations of Mecatok and the smartest people in the world, the aftermath of the big bang is exactly as they designed, constantly destroying the glacial terrain inside the entire Imeheim crater, making it collapse, let it melt, and let it sink to the ground!
This is an exaggeration, of course, but after the explosion that shook the entire icecap for several seconds subsided, the gate disappeared, and no, no, no, a third of the terrain of Imeheim was forever altered, and the ground that led beyond the crater was completely shattered and then obscured by the collapsed rock.
It's completely blocked!
The melted glacier even formed a small glacial river on the site of Imheim's original gate, blocking the way for the undead to get out.
"Blood poison... You shit!"
Arthas's mood had just calmed down, and the moment the flames of the explosion pierced the dark sky, it was already terrible, he smashed his fist on the armrest of his Ice Throne, and the cold ice splashed everywhere, and the next moment, he picked up the Frost Grief and stood up from the throne, but he had not lost his mind yet.
Compared to Echo Valley, the frontal battlefield of Angaza is a more deadly place, as long as he can defeat the coalition forces on the frontal battlefield of Angasa, he will have enough time to finish slowly with those rats, but... They couldn't be allowed to go on like this, so the next moment, under the dark will of the Lich King, a huge frost dragon nearly a hundred meters long, flapping its wings, flew up from the large platform at the highest point of the Icecrown Fortress, like a white sharp arrow, and rushed towards the location of Echo Valley.
"Go, Sindagosa, take your army of frost and bring cold death to them in my name!"
"Let those scum take a look, the Lich King's wrath!"
