Chapter 648: Northern Expedition Trials (4/4)

In Northrend in September, the weather is starting to get colder.

Yes, even though it is located in the extremely cold north, Northrend has its chills and particularly cold times.

The reason why the Northern Expedition was chosen to start at the hottest time of June was because the Northern Expedition coalition army could hardly withstand the cold of the winter ice crown glacier, and the colder the weather, the stronger the power of Arthas, the stronger the frost dragon would be, and the more difficult the war would be.

So, when all preparations were almost underway, when the major powers had already surrounded Icecrown, Uther held a high-level meeting of the coalition forces and proposed to end the war before winter came.

The leaders met several times to draw up a series of plans on how to conduct a general attack, and by a large number of votes, adopted a resolution:

The coalition forces will build the Northern Expedition Arena at the second pioneer camp in the northern part of the newly opened Icecrown Glacier, and select the bravest and strongest warriors to carry out the most important missions through competition.

This is a trial, but also a competition, all major forces want to show their high-end combat power, and they will send their strongest warriors.

The largest arena in Camp Pioneer has four distinct sets of spectator seats.

At the front of the auditorium to the west are the leaders of the tribe: Grand Chief Thrall, Warsong Chief Grom, Minotaur Chief Kane, and Darkspear Chief Woking.

Because of the appearance of Jiang Zheng, the tribe lacks the powerful ally of the "Forsaken" and the potential ally of the "Blood Elf", so the overall strength is much worse.

As for the goblins, it is still neutral, who gives money for whom.

But also because of Jiang Zheng, the tribe did not kill Cenarius, and the relationship with the night elves did not deteriorate to the extent that they fought life and death at every turn, plus Gianna restrained humans in Theramore, and Admiral Dai Lin did not run to the Kalimdor continent, so the tribe has developed well recently.

In addition to Durontal, the Horde has occupied the Barrens and Mogore, and is sending reinforcements to the Minotaurs as they prepare to march into the Bleak Lands and reclaim their original territory.

On the other hand, the tribe also sent troops to Aishshara to deal with the demons that inhabited there. This move won the favor of the Night Elves, and they moved from a state of hatred to neutrality.

Thrall has never forgotten the compatriots left behind in the Eastern Continent, and sent people to send ships to the Eastern Continent several times, picking up tens of thousands of remnants of orcs, and the alliance countries did not stop them, but silently let them go-

These orcs are very strong in combat, and staying in the Eastern Continent is also a scourge, so it's better to let them go.

As for whether it will cause pressure and impact on Theramore?

Sorry, they're not interested.

So when they saw Sal and the others, except for Admiral Dai Lin's unhappy face, the other leaders were quite restrained.

After all, the tribe was far away on another continent, and it was impossible for them to organize an expedition.

On the western side of the seat are the leaders of the Alliance: Uther, Mograine the Elder, Ferdin, Muradin, Sylvanas, Admiral Dalin, Bervar Vortagen, Gianna, Archmage Modra, and High Lord Vorstad......

The formation is significantly larger.

In fact, in this expedition, the tribe sent only one-third of the troops.

It is said that in the North Wind Tundra, Dongyong Lake, and Jingge Forest, the warriors of the tribe and the alliance fought a lot in private, and many people were killed and injured. If it weren't for the restraint of Thrall and Gianna, I'm afraid the Northern Expedition would not have ended, and the war between the tribes and the alliance would have started first!

There are some hatreds that are difficult to erase with time. Between the Alliance and the Horde, sooner or later there will be a resumption of war, but I don't know how long it will take.

On the south side of the seat are the representatives of the Night Elves: Broll Bearskin and Etil Moonfire.

The Night Elves did not join the Alliance, and there was no need for that, after all, the comprehensive strength of this race was still faintly above the human race, and it was the veritable first race of Azeroth, occupying Mount Hyjal, Moonlight Glades, Winterspring Valley, Feywood Forest, Ashen Valley, Black Coast, plus half of Firath, half of Azhara, and now Grizzly Hills.

And add the Varshara of the Broken Isles.

The land area is almost as large as all human countries combined.

Coupled with the relationship with the gods of the wilderness and the relationship with the Green Dragon Legion, the strength of the Night Elves is too strong, so strong that it has to be weakened again and again.

On the north side of the table are a group of leaders from the Forsaken: Archbishop Fao, Archmage Gunther, and the second Knight of the Apocalypse: Orgrim Hammer of Doom.

During this time, both the Alliance and the Horde have recognized the existence of the Forsaken.

In fact, it can't be recognized, because the Northern Expedition still needs the help of the Forsaken, because the power of the Forsaken has developed to the point where they must talk to each other on an equal footing, because both Fao and Orgrim have a high enough status and influence enough, because they are not willing to push such a powerful force to the side of the Scourge Legion no matter what.

What's more, everyone present knows that the "Forsaken" is the force supported by the Grand Duke.

"The Undead Scourge is our common enemy, and in order to destroy the undead, we gathered here and organized this tryout."

Uther was dressed in glittering golden armor.

The "Lightbringer Set", named after him, was created by King Magni himself for Uther. It's not at the legendary level, but it's still the best type of epic set.

It is a set of armor made almost entirely of "real silver".

True silver is a good conductor of holy light, and the Knights of the Silver Hand are relatively well-known high-level paladins, almost everyone has a "True Silver Holy Sword".

But in reality, the True Silver Holy Sword was not made of pure silver, but was only plated with a layer of real silver on the outside.

The price of real silver is ten times that of gold, and if you really forge a holy sword of pure silver, high-level paladins can't afford it.

The real silver on this set of armor is enough to make a hundred "True Silver Holy Sword", if it is sold and someone can afford it, it can be exchanged for a town of thousands of people, and the value is higher than many legendary weapons.

Only Uther is worthy of a paladin suit of this quality.

He was covered in golden light, just like the "Light Cast", and with the "Silver Hand Holy Hammer", people felt that he was the spokesperson of the Holy Light at a glance, and he was the most favored by the Holy Light.

The appearance is really good, and the archbishop of the Holy Light Legion "Tulayan" has a fight.

"After a month of preliminary auditions, the Night Elves and the Forsaken have each selected 20 Warriors, the Horde has selected 40 Warriors, and the Alliance countries have selected 120 Warriors, for a total of 200."

"Now, we will have a group competition and finally select three teams, a team of five, a team of 10 and a team of 25 people, to carry out different tasks," Uther said. Now I announce that the 5-person squad selection tournament has officially begun! ”
