"Death, darkness, imprisonment, that's the truth about the Lich King. Gain great power at the cost of death, however, it was originally a hoax. Look at our former brethren, who, once led astray and allegiance to the Lich King, have been't behaved in a completely insane and paranoid manner. Even at the Lich King's command, they would not hesitate to aim their swords at their former companions. Some of your people have taken refuge in the Lich King, and there are some of my people. At the expense of freedom and life in exchange for the mighty dark power. ”

"But we have to tell them that free will is the most important thing. Without free will, we are nothing. I don't think the Creator has allowed us to exist in any way so that something dark can enslave us. Slavery is the most shameful thing in the world. ”

Standing in the middle of the Viku, Ares said solemnly.

Many years ago, the immature young knight finally grew into a qualified paladin who was responsible, responsible, and upright. His speech was full of righteousness and majesty, and even in the most ordinary moments, the Holy Light never forgot him. A faint golden glow rose from Ares' armor, and his shoulder armor even shone with a dazzling golden glow for a long time. The blue-and-white cuirass and twin eagle robes embody the spirit and majesty of Lordaeron.

It was the first time Ares had experienced the feeling of being surrounded by a group of giants. Moreover, these Vikus have come to see themselves as the chosen ones. In the same way, said before the battle and said after the battle, the effect is completely different. Now, they can accept and even begin to reflect, remorse. And just now, they were still laughing and killing.

"The Death Knight has taken over Zurak, and Stronghold Blackebon is on the verge of the skies at any moment. You've seen that force, yes, these undead knights were originally my people, and they were originally pious and brave warriors like me. However, the Lich King corrupted them, corrupting their minds and bodies. What I have to do is to free my people, all the creatures of Azeroth, from the Lich King's rule. So much for. And now, I need your help. ”

Standing in the crowd, Ares shouted.

"Roar, roar, roar......"

As soon as the words ended, the entire audience of Viku people roared like a landslide. The three hundred Viku warriors collectively struck their chests with their fists and let out a unison roar. At this moment, the primordial impulse and blood flowed through Ares's body.

"Command, Child of Light."

The Viku patriarch knelt down and said.

"In order to advance on Icecrown, I must shovel Utgard Castle and allow the Alliance Legion to move north."

Under the blue banner, Ares calmly returned.

"It is not impossible to attack the castle of Utgard. However, before we can do so, we must deal with the Dragon Raider Clan's Ancestral Dragon Army. ”

The Viku Elder whispered.

"Ancestral Dragons, well, I know that army, but how many of them are there?"

Ares asked.

"Hundreds, thousands. They are the most ferocious carnivorous species, the absolute air supremacy on this continent. ”

The Viku patriarch continued—

"Moreover, Utgard Castle is located in the middle of a cliff, surrounded by a large lake, a natural moat, and the Ancestral Dragon Scout Riders hover the top of the castle every day, so that no one has a chance to approach the castle, not even us. Access to the castle requires a king's order. Of course, if you are undead...... That would eliminate the need for screening. ”

"A thoroughly polluted castle, a clan that has gone astray."

Ares sighed.

"Therefore, the most important thing to attack the castle is to deal with those terrifying Ancestral Dragons first. The one you defeated was given to our chief by the Dragonsnatcher Clan. ”

The Viku Elder added.

"Then what can you do to deal with the Dragon Raider Clan and their Ancestral Dragons?"

"Heavy hunting spears. But that requires sophisticated equipment and skilled shooters. ”

The Viku patriarch replied.

"It's not hard to get a machine, as long as your men teach my engineers, the Alliance's technicians will create a large number of identical ejection weapons in a short period of time. But the key is in the shooter. My soldiers have no experience dealing with Ancestral Dragons. ”

Ares said with a frown.

"Is there any other way to deal with this beast than a catapult weapon?"

Khadgar added.

"Poison. My apothecary will create poison, the venom of the male rattlesnake can paralyze the nerves of the protosaurus, making them immobile for a short time, although the venom is not enough to kill them, but the venom can buy us enough time. When the Dragon Raider Clan caught the Ancestral Dragon in the wild, they used a similar potion. ”

Elder Viku said.

"Then we can equip every archer to carry this venom."

Sylvanas said.

"No, the amount of venom is very small, and the total venom of each viper can only make one bottle of paralyzing potion. Normally it's produced very little, mostly in the hands of the Dragon Raiders, but now that it's winter, we can't catch vipers to make this potion temporarily. ”

The Viku replied.

"What is the Ancestral Dragon most afraid of?"

Ares asked.

"They are fearless, and neither swords nor fire are their opponents. In short, without potions and hunting spears, we can't deal with the Ancestral Dragons. If there is anything to fear in these beasts, I am afraid that the only thing is death. They repel any shadow powers, and it is almost impossible for the dead Viku riders to harness them. ”

The Viku Elder replied. His wrinkled face was full of vicissitudes and experiences. Experience was the only capital he had left, and it was what Ares lacked the most right now.

"I see."

"The problem of the Ancestral Dragons is left to me, and I know how to deal with them. Your mission is to gather the equipment needed for the siege, including the heavy ballistas and spears mentioned above. We siege the city before the end of winter. ”

After listening to the introduction of the Viku elder, Ares said thoughtfully.

The people present cast strange glances one after another......

"Why before the end of winter? And not when spring comes? ”

Khadgar asked.

"The Dragon Raider Clan has long been a natural fortress in Utgard City, and for a long time, adventurers and all kinds of foreign enemies have launched raids on the castle in the warm summer or spring, and over time, the warriors of the Dragon Raider Clan in the city will develop a habit of actively preparing for war when the climate is warm, neglecting to take precautions when the weather is cold, and even hiding in the castle to recuperate, they will think that the ancestral dragoon is enough. It is an eternal truth that arrogant soldiers will be defeated. There is still a long way to go before the end of winter, and we have plenty of time to prepare. Even open a tunnel to the bottom of the castle. That's what we're going to do. Rest assured, brothers, the army of Stormwind and the army of Ironforge will come. It is not only accessible by sea. ”

Ares turned around and said confidently. Not far away, Snow Eagle was jumping onto the dead Ancestral Dragon, pecking at the dragon's flesh......
