Northrend, the "roof of the world" of the world of Azeroth.

Northrend is a wasteland covered in snow and ice all year round, and was once part of the continent of Kalimdor before the Ancient Continent collapsed. As the continents split, the Northrend continental plate moves northward. The climate here gradually changed from the mild climate of Azeroth to the colder, and eventually became a captive of snow and ice.

Most of the original species here have become extinct due to their lack of adaptation to the environment here, leaving only a few animals with strong survival ability, but they have also been changed by the environment. Ice Trolls, Iceborne Monsters, Snow Bears, Mammoths, Magnattos, Snow Monsters, Tuskal Humans, and more.

And, of course, there are the spider creatures that rule the continent, the Crypt Lords and their Cryptworms.

Fierce but powerful and intelligent, the Cryptworms have taken them to the pinnacle of Northrend's species, building a series of massive nests between the deep permafrost. The entire continent of Northrend is dotted with their underground structures, which together form their miraculous underground kingdom, Eldraine Nirub.

When the Lich King landed on this continent, he first fell in love with this race. They are one of the Lich King's cards, and they have been guarding the continent of Northrend, where the Frozen Throne is located.

Even when the Burning Legion descended on the world of Azeroth, the Lich King never really exposed this hole card, but only sent some cavemen to join the Undead Scourge Legion.

It wasn't until later when Illidan Fury hit the continent of Northrend in an attempt to destroy the Frozen Throne that the Lich King had to completely unwind the hole card.

It was also at that time that Arthas, the leader of the Undead Scourge, learned that there was a heroic unit like the Crypt Lord in the Undead Scourge......

Now, the legendary Crypt Lord Anubrak, the long-dormant king of the kingdom of Eldraine Nirub, has finally gone into action once again. At the same time, the entire Eldraine Nirub Kingdom legion also moved.

It's been an unknown amount of time before Anubrak finally sees his master, the new Lich King (Arthas)!

It seems that the great revival of the natural disaster of the dead is in the near future.

The great Lich King (Arthas) had already anticipated everything......

From now on, the Lich King (Arthas) ordered Anubarak to do his best to stop the rebellious Sylvanas and her forces from the Scourge of the Dead.

"Damn Sylvanas, stupid woman, has the audacity to betray the great Lich King and try to disturb the Lich King in the final stages of his fusion with Arthas? I, Anubarak, will not spare you! Anubarak shouted angrily and bit off the head of a gargoyle.

Of course, it only said that according to the instructions of the Lich King (Arthas), Sylvanas's forces were so strong that he could not defeat them even if he tried his best. However, the great Lich King (Arthas) had anticipated everything, and he had already brought several armies from Kalimdor to deal with Sylvanas.

Anubarak just had to drag Sylvanas to the end.

"Terbis, Terphes, Anubbi, Morpheus, and St. Horus, each of you will bring 100,000 troops with me to the Howling Windsfjord! Others, gather the rest of the troops at Icecrown. ”

“……”

South of the Northrend continent, Howling Fjord

It's also a place that has left an important mark in Azeroth's history, as it was the site where Alsace first set foot on the continent of Northrend.

At the beginning of the Plague of the Dead, the thriving kingdom of Lordaeron was enveloped in plague, disaster and death. Blinded by hatred, young Arthas pursued the decoy thrown by the Lich King, the Dreadlord Melganis, to the land, where he met the leader of the Dwarves at the time, Muradin Copperbeard, King of the Hill.

In order to kill Melganis, Arthas disobeyed his father's order to retreat and insisted on fighting the undead all the way to Icecrown. The tide of battle turned for the worse, and the balance of victory seemed to tip in Merganis' favor. Eventually, Arthas, with the help of Muradin, was able to find the runic sword, Frostmourn......

The second time Alsace landed in Northrend, again in the Howling Fjord, to prevent Illidan from destroying the Frozen Throne. Seeing Anubarak for the first time, and then passing through the ancient "shortcut" of the kingdom of Eldraine Nirub to make it back to Icecrown in time......

After that, Alsace never left the continent of Northrend.

This time, Sylvanas invaded the continent of Northrend, choosing to land in Howling Fjord.

Of course, they couldn't take a "shortcut" to the kingdom of Eldraine Nirub. Simply because, with the exception of Howling Fjord, the rest of the coast southeast of Northrend is frozen for a long time, making it unsuitable for landfall.

The thickness of the ice in those places is also difficult to estimate, making it unsuitable for troops to walk. Tiny ghouls moving around on the ice may have no problem, but if you let the fat abomination walk on the ice, there will be a problem. Not to mention the gigantic Blood Feasts and Skeleton Lords.

Although the Howling Fjord is also in a state of ice and water, it is at least close to land. At the same time, the Howling Fjords are also the closest place to the Eastern Kingdom mainland.

So Sylvanas did not hesitate to set the landing site at Howling Fjord.

The experience of the predecessors is also justified.

The sun shone obliquely on Howling Fjord, but it was already noon, though there was no warmth in the sun.

At this moment, if you look out from the seaside of Howling Fjord, you can see ...... A fleet that is so large that there is no end in sight is riding the wind and waves, breaking the iceberg.

Undoubtedly, it was Sylvanas Windranger's troops.

Above, black shadows swept by, and the gargoyle troops had already been dispatched.

They were sent out to reconnoitre, to find suitable landing sites, and to provide air support to the fleet while keeping an eye on any suspicious targets.

Landing Operations......

Thinking of this term, even Sylvanas couldn't help but frown. With her military qualities, of course, it is clear that landing operations are the most complex and difficult type of operations.

Landing operations require forced crossing of the enemy's sea area and landing in enemy-occupied areas, which requires a series of problems, such as fighting against the water, complicated command and coordination, difficulties in logistical support, great influence on environmental conditions, and drastic changes in the battle situation.

Even Sylvanas, who has a lot of combat experience, has a headache against this.

Hoping to land safely, and then simply kill Arthas......

Of course, just hoping for a moment.

Wouldn't Sylvanas be naïve enough to think that in Arthas's (Lich King) territory, there would not even be a single guard?

Anyway, none of the troops she had sent to Northrend had returned.

How many dangers are hidden on the seemingly calm coast?
