Chapter 549: Two Blossoms Two Blossoms
Northrend Continent, Icecap region.
The huge and heavy Gate of Damnation is now in a half-open state, and the Northern Expeditionary armies are continuously marching into Icecrown Glacier, the core lair of the Lich King, to launch a war against the entire region.
The Silver Crusade, the Scarlet Vanguard, and the Lordaeron Restoration Army, under the unified leadership of Lord Tirio Ferdin, the Great Lord of the Holy Light, marched in a straight line, and their route was to penetrate the Icecrown Glacier region and destroy all the undead in the vicinity along the way.
The two sides of the Alliance and the Horde marched separately according to the original plan, one east and one west, and cooperated with Tirio Fordin's offensive to form a three-way situation of advancing together, intending to eliminate the undead natural disasters in the areas on both sides of the Icecrown Glacier, and finally formed an encirclement with the silver Northern Expedition coalition army advancing in the middle, a lasso for life, and then fully tightened towards the inner area.
For the all-out action of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the Lich King naturally did not hesitate, and a group of frost dragon troops immediately flew out of the Icecrown Fortress, with the overwhelming number of gargoyles, with a posture of wanting to wipe out the air power of the Northern Expeditionary Alliance.
The two air forces met head-on in the middle of Icecrown, followed by an extremely brutal encounter that lasted for several days.
A dozen frost dragons and countless gargoyles inflicted the heaviest losses on the air forces of both the Alliance and Horde since the beginning of the Northern Expedition, and the casualties were even heavier.
In the end, although the Northern Expeditionary Army won a victory, it was also a pyro victory.
Of the Alliance's seven war airships, only one Skybreaker was now left waddling and floating, barely flying back to the dreadnought fortress in the rear for a complete overhaul.
The tribe is no better, and the five newly baked war airships are now left with only one tattered flagship, the Orgrim's Hammer, which is also dragging billowing smoke at the moment, staggering towards the Warsong Fortress in the northwind tundra.
The two airships met briefly once, but unlike the lively scene when they met at sea, the soldiers on both sides were extremely silent, and they just wanted to return as soon as possible, sit by the warm fire, pour a sip of spirits, and then sleep carefree for a few days.
Too much sacrifice, too much grief to be settled.
Of course, the results of the air force warriors were still very brilliant, more than a dozen frost dragons were all blasted to bones, and the overwhelming gargoyle army was also wiped out, and the Lich King was unable to organize a new air offensive in a short time.
But the Alliance and the Horde were in no mood to celebrate this victory, because the two sides combined had a whopping ten airships crashed, and in addition to those who died on the spot, there were still a large number of survivors who were struggling in the wreckage of the airships, waiting for the rescue of ground forces.
The Icecrown Glacier area is a super-giant fortress of natural disasters, not only is there a tall and heavy iron wall of Saron on the periphery, which encloses the entire Icecrown Glacier area into an iron bucket, but even the interior of the area is also lined with walls, dividing the entire area into four or five small areas, supporting each other and increasing the strategic depth.
The surviving air force soldiers are basically scattered around Imheim in the central part of the region, and there is no doubt that they are being surrounded and attacked by the Scourge army on the ground, and the undead Viku people in Imyheim City are also conducting a dragnet search.
There was nothing to think about, and both the Alliance and the Horde immediately slowed down the offensive of the main forces on the ground, and then sent a large number of scouts to search for the exact location of the survivors, ready to divide their forces to rescue at any time.
News of the scout's scouting soon came back as well.
The survivors of the Coalition Air Force are now gathering near the wreckage of the two airships west of Imitheim, relying on the massive steel wreckage, urgently establishing an improvised defensive line, and setting up a temporary camp inside the wreckage, a towering and dilapidated Union flag flying on top of the wreckage, confirming the direction of the scouts.
Their supreme commander was the Death Knight Thassarian, a human Death Knight who broke away from the Knights of the Ebon and all factions accepted the Death Knight and treated them equally, he broke away from the Forsaken and no longer served the Dark Queen, but went to the Alliance, where he made his name in the Stormwind Kingdom and officially became a warrior of the Alliance.
As for his good friend Koltila*weaver, he chose to remain with the Forsaken and continue to serve Queen Sylvanas, which is also the common choice of all High Elf Death Knights.
However, because of the sudden outbreak of the Silver and White Fleet incident within the Night Empire, the Forsaken also seemed to be greatly implicated, and Thassarian originally wanted to visit his good friend after a while, but who knew that he encountered the main force of the Scourge Air Force head-on, and was trapped in the Icecrown Glacier area after a fierce battle.
The survivors of the air force on the Horde side were stranded east of Imitheim, and their supreme commander was General Nazgorin.
The young orc Grand Overseer showed great military talent and individual strength, and the civilian Grand Overseer, who had climbed up from the lowest level of ordinary wolf cavalry, won the trust and respect of the tribal soldiers, and everyone was willing to obey his orders, and everyone knew that he was a warrior full of glory.
Now, Nazgorin led the surviving tribal soldiers, also relying on the wreckage of the airship to establish a strong defensive line and a temporary camp, and the broken tribal flag fluttered at the very top of the wreckage, providing accurate orientation for the tribal scouts.
Unlike the Alliance's strict defense, the Horde's style is more proactive and defensive.
Oh, the so-called active defense is naturally an offense.
After temporarily settling down and setting up the defensive line, Nazgorin was even able to organize a small rescue team to go to the nearby area to search for more survivors and easily eliminate the small force of the Scourge force.
But no matter how different the styles of action are, the survivors on both sides know very well in their hearts that they are now fighting against time and racing against death.
As long as they can wait for reinforcements from the ground to arrive, they are considered safe.
And if it is an army of the dead that is waiting ... Well, I guess this battle will be my last glorious battle, and then I will die in battle.
Of course, the Lich King did not want to let go of this group of living people who caused the destruction of his air force, and at this moment, the Scourge army was also arriving from all directions, and the undead Viku people in Imheim were also attacking the defenses of the survivors on both sides.
Time is running out and the situation is critical.
