Chapter 371 Surprise Attack (3)
Beneath the soil of the Far North, there was once a very ancient kingdom - the Spider Kingdom of Eldraine. Nirub.
Although the Crypt Spiders were defeated by the Scourge during the Spider Wars, Eldraine. The remains of Nirub, and... The underground tunnels that extend in all directions have been handed down to this day.
Eldraine. Nirub is the secret passage that Darian calls to the Icecrown Fortress.
It wasn't until they were brought into the underground passage that the members of the raid team were surprised to discover that there was actually a place near the Alliance's headquarters that led to Eldraine. The entrance to Nirub.
This discovery sent chills down the spine of each member.
If the Scourge takes advantage of it properly and launches a surprise attack on the garrison, the consequences are truly unimaginable......
……
Although the total number of members participating in this surprise attack is less than 100, their strength should not be underestimated, because everyone who can participate in the surprise attack is a strong man with one enemy and one hundred.
Among them, there are even more than a dozen hero-level powerhouses.
It can be said that the surprise attack team gathered nearly half of the essence of the expeditionary force, just looking at the combat power... Not inferior to the 10,000-man army.
The reason why the number of people should be limited to 100 is mainly to avoid startling the snake.
After the Spider Kingdom was conquered by the Scourge Legion, the Crypt Spider became a slave of the Lich King, so... Eldraine. Nirub may have been abandoned for a long time, but most of the time, crypt spiders still live in this once underground kingdom.
In order to ensure the success of the surprise attack, Ferding forcibly reduced the number of participants to less than 100 people.
After all, in a small, dimly lit environment, numbers do not show an inherent advantage, and allowing ordinary soldiers to participate in them can become a drag on the team......
……
Eldraine. Nirub's underground passages can be found in almost all of Northrend, and the network of underground passages is not only very large, but also very intricate, like a labyrinth.
Without Darien leading the way, everyone would know about Eldraine. The existence of Nilub is also difficult to take advantage of.
After all, the underground and the above ground are completely different concepts, and in the dim, cramped, and unmarked underground, people can lose their sense of direction after only a few moments.
So, without a long period of exploration, I wanted to use Upper Eldraine. Nilub, that's a complete dream.
For this reason, Yi Qi couldn't help but glance at Darien more.
Although the Death Knight has always been as cold as a machine, in the subtleties, Iqi can still feel Darien's strong desire to eradicate the Lich King......
……
Perhaps because of its proximity to the center of the earth, Eldraine. Nirub is far less cold than the surface, and is always in a warm, humid state.
This is good news for the surprise team, although the strong are not afraid of the cold, but the harsh environment will still reduce various efficiency, such as... On the march, such as... Combative.
As for... Fighting, in fact, is not much.
Due to the familiarity with Eldraine. Because of Nirub, Darien was able to lead the team around the Crypt Spider Gathering Place, and even if he had the misfortune to encounter the patrol team suddenly, with the strong combat quality of the surprise attack team and the strong strength of the strong men, he could completely strangle the entire team before the patrol team could make an effective response.
Therefore, the journey was very easy, and as the only two pastors in the team, Yiqi was playing soy sauce the whole time......
……
After five days and nights, the raid team finally crossed nearly half of Northrend and miraculously arrived at the location of the Icecrown Fortress, Icecrown Glacier.
Once inside the glacier, Darien greeted Fording and left with the Knights of the Black Blade, leaving only one Death Knight in charge.
As for... The surprise attack team began to recuperate before the battle.
According to the agreement, after Darien returns to Icecrown Fortress, he will lead the Knights of the Ebon to rebel against the Scourge and then use it as a decoy to attack the Dark Cathedral.
Attack on the Dark Cathedral... It seems that the opportunity to meet the inside and outside has been abandoned, but in fact it is not, because in the dark cathedral, the heart of Alsace is stored.
Legend has it that Arthas, after becoming one with the Lich King, decided that his greatest weakness was that he would still bleed and feel pain, so he removed his heart with his own hands.
It is also said... In Alsace's heart, there is still his last conscience, which is why it will be removed.
However, Fording believes that the heart is something like an invalid life box, and is a key item to help Arthas resurrect.
Otherwise, as a conscience and greatest weakness, why didn't Arthas completely destroy his heart?
Therefore, Darion led the Knights of the Black Blade to attack the Dark Cathedral, not only to create an opportunity for a surprise attack, but also to further weaken the power of Arthas......
……
Darien and his Blackebon Knights didn't keep everyone waiting, and on the third day of their march to Icecrown, news came that the Dark Cathedral had been conquered.
Subsequently, the powerhouse who was in charge of monitoring the movements of the Icecrown Fortress also reported similar news - several undead armies left the fortress and went in the direction of the cathedral.
At this moment, the surprise attack powerhouses had been waiting for a long time, and they spontaneously completed the assembly without the summoning of Fuding.
It's just that the solemn atmosphere before the big war still makes the scene very dull, and even the dwarves who used to be noisy in the past have shown a serious and serious side at this moment.
As for... Furding, there was no need for him to say anything more, except for shouting for the alliance, he turned to Yi Qi and said, "Let's start!" ”
Although there are only two priests in the surprise attack team, the division of labor between the two is different. Iki's mission is to add protection against the forces of the Scourge by adding protection to the members of the team.
After all, the Icecrown Fortress is the lair of the natural calamity, so the power of the natural calamity condensed in it is already as viscous as liquid, and without the protection of the holy light, it is difficult for the hero-level powerhouse to move an inch.
The other priest's task is mainly to rescue, support, and, if necessary, suppress the spirits of the dead with holy light.
In comparison, the burden on Yiqi's shoulders is heavier, after all, the erosion of natural disasters is endless......
……
At the behest of Fordin, Yi Qi began to add holy light protection to everyone, which also exposed the whereabouts of the surprise team.
Holy Light and Natural Scourge are two irreconcilable forces, so near the Icecrown Fortress where the power of the Natural Scourge is strong, the use of power with the nature of Holy Light is as conspicuous as a flame in the night.
So, the war had already begun when Iqi began to add Holy Light protection to his party members.
For the act of using the power of the Light is tantamount to announcing to the Scourge and to Arthas that we have come to take your life........................
