Tianxuan marched with a force of 30,000 to the Labor City, and along the way, the troops were arranged as follows: 20,000 people drove on the main road on the Wind Resistant, and the other 10,000 people drove the land and water pioneers to escort the troops.

After about 2 hours of traveling, Tianxuan noticed that the scenery around him began to change significantly—it was a green wilderness with the occasional few ice crystal trees, but now it was indeed a white ice and snow plain, and it was rare to find a few tall pine trees occasionally.

After a while, Tianxuan found that the airflow orbit extended into the iceberg on the left, and as far as the eye could see, there were ravines and angular moraines.

"Everybody drive carefully! We're in the heart of the glacier! Tianxuan reminded.

"Order!"

Then, Tianxuan looked at the map navigator and realized that he was already approaching Stormwind City.

Anyway, the situation in Stormwind City is still quite complicated, and before Tianxuan set off, Eliagia Goster gave him some relevant knowledge training:

In the process of glaciation, moraines carry and carry debris to form sediments of ice water in glaciers, glacial lakes or ice seas.

Moraines can form terminal moraine ridges, lateral moraine ridges, and moraine hilly accumulation landforms. The moraines of glacial ice and some of the glacial water deposits can form drum mounds and moraine ridges. The contact sediments of glacial ice with water can form serpentine mounds, glacial conglomerates, and glacial conglomerate terraces. Ice-water deposits can form glacial plains and ice-water accumulation terraces.

Stormwind was built on this principle in the ravines of the glacial layer, in low-lying areas where there was no wind everywhere. And in the strict sense of the word, Stormwind is not a city, but a complex of buildings connected by countless small bases like villages.

Soon, the 30,000 people led by Tianxuan came to a place very close to Stormwind City. At this time, Tianxuan thought that the purpose of this time was to find someone, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he decided to bypass Stormwind City, so he ordered to pass through the Ice and Snow Plains.

However, as soon as Tian Xuan gave the order, a burst of snowflakes drifted over, and at this time, the command platform of the Wind Protector immediately remembered the siren of the frost attack. So he hastened to order all his troops to make an emergency landing in those ravines.

Not long after stopping in the ravine, Tianxuan saw large chunks of ice and snow whizzing overhead. When the mixture of snow and ice passed, many moraines the size of rocks fell on the ground, mixed with red, red, green, and green on a white background, the large ones were several meters long and wide, and the small ones were the size of a millstone......

"So this is Froststorm!" Tianxuan sighed in his heart.

So, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Tianxuan decided to slow down the entire army in the ravine to avoid the attack of the frost storm.

After about 20 minutes of driving, due to the potholes and unevenness on the surface of the glacier, the speed of driving was unusually slow, and it was not much different from walking, and it was very uncomfortable to sit on the vehicle. So, Tianxuan descended from the Wind Protector and marched forward on foot.

"Hula!" A gust of cold wind blew through his ears, and some ice particles rustled against Tianxuan's helmet and armor.

"This is the scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of snow drifting!" Tianxuan sighed as he continued to move forward. At this time, the surrounding temperature was already about minus 20 °, fortunately, the set of equipment he was wearing was just to keep out the cold and heat, otherwise it is estimated that Tianxuan was not only in the mood to enjoy the scenery of the northern country, but also froze into a radish.

After that, not long after walking, the troops led by Tianxuan came to an undulating mountain range. I saw that the surrounding green and red mountains were covered with ice and snow, and I could vaguely see some colored places. They were climbing slowly on a fold of ice, which resembled the ridges of a washboard.

It is said that the ice folds on the surface of this glacier are commonly known as the mushroom, which is composed of a series of parallel ridges and is formed by the vertical extrusion of the glacier, but it is precisely this unevenness that increases the friction of the ground, making it not so smooth when climbing, and there is a situation of advancing and retreating.

After not going far, the terrain began to become more complicated, and the slopes on both sides gradually became much higher, and the situation at the top of the mountain was difficult for the naked eye to peep into the tenths of it. As a result, Tianxuan immediately ordered the troops to stop advancing and sent people to the top of the mountain to reconnoitre.

After about 10 minutes, there was a gesture from the top of the mountain that there was no problem, and only then did Tengenfang give the order to continue moving. There is no way to be so vigilant, in this harsh environment, the snowman is fighting at home, and if you are not careful, you may be made dumplings.

I don't know how long they walked, a big mountain appeared in front of them, and at this time, there was no longer ice and snow floating around, and the glaciers on the ground were gradually decreasing, showing signs of life.

Tianxuan and the others walked along the foot of the mountain for a while, and suddenly found themselves near a base in Stormwind City. So, he immediately ordered everyone to move forward carefully according to the cover.

"Looks like you'll have to pass through Stormwind to find the expedition! Ay! Eliagoth was right! Tianxuan shook his head in frustration.

When he was in the base, Tianxuan immediately felt that there were several pillars of light standing around him, which was a lot brighter. Then they sneaked inside, and found that there was no one inside.

"Report to the Commander, there's not a single person in this base! And all devices are dormant or destroyed. ”

After receiving the report, Tianxuan pointed and touched his chin and said, "It seems that something really happened." ”

Then, after thinking about it for a while, Tianxuan decided to temporarily enter the base.

"Commander, we're just going in?" Questions were raised.

"That's right, after all, it's safer inside the base than outside. But remember, don't touch all the facilities and equipment once you're inside! Tianxuan explained.

"Order!"

Then, everyone followed Tianxuan into the base. After inspecting around, Tianxuan discovered that the so-called Stormwind City was formed by several small bases in the cols connected by underground tunnels, and it was not a decent city.

"This is at most a building complex, not even a water city!" Tianxuan secretly sighed in his heart.

After some searching, there was indeed nothing unusual in the entire base, the only difference was that the underground tunnel connecting the other bases was paralyzed, and the black inside could not be seen.

"Fill in the passages, guard carefully, and report to me if there is any movement." After Tianxuan finished ordering, he went to the side and turned on the single-channel communicator given by Heikaty.

Within a few minutes, Black Katy's voice could be heard on the communicator. Since the communicator given by Black Carty is a temporary contact, there is only an audio signal, and there is no high-end holographic projection.

"Where are you now?" Black Carty asked.

"It's in one of Stormwind's bases! It's empty! Tianxuan replied.

"What's going on now?"

"Hmm!" Tianxuan touched his forehead and said. "I don't know how to find Hercules' expedition right now. Because I just investigated the following chronicles, I found that there are tens of thousands of caves here, and I really don't know when it will be a head! ”

"No hurry! I'll look into it with Nicos, wait a few minutes! Black Carty said.

After a few minutes, Black Carty shouted from the other end, "Hey, hey, I'm still listening!" ”

Tianxuan, who was sitting still, heard the voice and immediately replied, "In, in, what did you find?" ”

"Since the mission of the expedition team is to collect ice crystals, the 3,746 caves in the volcanic area have been eliminated!" Black Carty said in a steady tone.

Tianxuan's eyebrows were raised, and he was about to be happy, but he immediately shook his head with his temples in his hands, and sighed, "Oh, No! Although there are 3,746 less, it is a total of 10,000 and 35, which is still not very useful. ”

"Don't worry, listen to me! Of the remaining 6,289 caves, 2,113 are in the Extremely Frozen Zone, where everything is withering and it is impossible to go to people! ”

"And what about the rest?"

"The remaining 4,176 caves, you have to pay attention, according to Hercules' last call, you can know that their mining site is some distance away. And the 3,550 caves surrounding Stormwind must have been mined. And if there is an accident in Stormwind City, they will definitely rush to the aid as soon as possible. So that means you only have 626 goals! ”

After hearing this, Tianxuan smiled bitterly and said, "626, it's really exciting." All right! Now that it's all shrunk to this point, I'm going to hurry up! ”

"Okay! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us! We're here all the time! Good luck! That's it! ”

"You're done!"

After hanging up, Tianxuan put the communicator in the bag on his waist, and then hurriedly investigated the 626 caves on the Fang Zhi, and after determining the coordinates, he immediately ordered the troops to bring supplies and start the search operation.
