Menethil's Power

Chapter 489 There Will Always Be Something That Will Happen

Countless undead spewed out from the Icecrown Glacier, and among them, there were no ordinary ghouls or zombies, but frozen wasteland warriors and crypt nerubians like a tide. The undead transformed by the Lu people themselves have good individual strength, and when multiplied by such a number, they form a frenzy that can even sweep the entire Azeroth.

It's hard to imagine that Ner'zhul has accumulated so many possessions in this short period of time. He obviously wants to use these as his chips and cards to play a role at some of the most critical moments, but it is a pity that he met Isaacs. A person who does not play cards according to the routine, so that this hole card does not play any role.

But now, Jaina, as the successor, has unleashed the hidden army of the dead.

The Northern Expeditionary Army has already withdrawn to the Borean Tundra, but this does not mean a non-stop retreat all the way. Out of professionalism, Garithos has arranged some simple sentry towers and defense lines along the way. The purpose of this is not to count on these dozens of people One of the defenders could act as a stop to the Scourge, but in order to obtain information about the latest situation of the Scourge, Garithos allowed these soldiers to evacuate directly without engaging the enemy.

The value of these outposts was quickly realized, and the Northern Expedition Army Command had the most intuitive feeling for the rapid expansion and advance of natural disasters.

Tirion watched. "Go and tell Major Ostrov to station his squad on the high ground to the north."

Ostrov is the commander of an armored squad, so although there are only less than 100 subordinates, his rank is not low. This is mainly because the Punisher siege tank has not yet been mass-produced into a conventional weapon. .

The Scourge was coming soon, but Isaacs didn't seem to care about it very much. After arriving at the Fortress of Fearlessness, he went out and handed over the command directly to Tirion and Garithos.And until now, he doesn't seem to have the idea of ​​doing it himself.

So the upright paladin worked very hard, collecting and summarizing information, personally inspecting the terrain, and arranging defensive troops bit by bit to maximize the defensive effect.But he does not have command authority over everyone, such as the location of the key Protos crystal tower, he has to ask Isaacs for instructions.

A standardized military command center has been established in Fearless Fortress. Tirion entered through the main entrance, and the straight guards standing on both sides saluted him, and the paladin nodded slightly to them.

Isaacs should be the largest room on the second floor, where the commanders should discuss important matters, but Tirion couldn't help showing a helpless and weird look as soon as he entered.

At this time, the warm fire was burning, dispelling the chill, and the corner of Isaacs' mouth had a happy arc. The one beside him was not an officer, but Whitemane and Elidie, two little beauties.

On the desktop that should have been a battle map, there is now a somewhat magical looking game board, with some cards on it, and avatars floating on the cards.

Tirion knows this game called Hearthstone, and his son Tyran, like most noble children, has a sincere love for this game, but isn't it inappropriate to do so when the war is about to start?
It was Elidie and Whitemane who were playing against each other. Isaacs was just watching and guiding. When Tirion came in, Whitemane, who was slightly frowning and thinking, played a card. The image of a paladin in golden armor emerged on the desktop.

"Believe in the Holy Light!" The steady voice was accompanied by majestic music.

"It's really time for you to come, Tirion." Isaacs laughed, seeing that the paladin was still a little unclear, so Isaacs directly pointed to the name of the card, which was Tirion Fordring.

The paladin couldn't help but be a little bit dumbfounded that his own image was actually made into this game. Should he be honored?
Whitemane and Elidie looked at Tirion who walked in. The two girls looked a little embarrassed. They actually felt that it was not appropriate to play Hearthstone at this time.

"What's the matter?" Isaacs asked Tirion seriously.

The paladin made his request known.

"Of course you can also arrange the location of the Protos crystal tower." Isaacs said immediately; "I fully believe in your ability, Tirion."

Old Fording was a little moved, but still couldn't help asking: "The full-scale attack of the Scourge Legion should not be underestimated. What is your highness' strategy?"

"No strategy," said Isaacs, in a relaxed tone.

"No strategy?" Tirion frowned.

"It may not be convenient for me to tell you all the specifics, but you have to know that the longer the time, the better for us." Isaacs smiled slightly.

It takes time to upgrade the weapons of the Hyperion, and it will take time for Ghost Jaina to master the Focusing Iris.

"I know you are puzzled by my leisurely attitude now." Isaacs continued: "But it is not the time for us to directly attack the Scourge. Maintaining a certain degree of balance is the key. As long as I am always in the behind the scenes, then it is impossible for the Lich Queen to appear on the battlefield."

Even if Jaina inherits the Lich King, her combat power is still suppressed by Isaacs. As long as she is not near the Focusing Rainbow itself, it is not difficult for Isaacs to break through into the undead army array and defeat her. Therefore, as long as Isaacs is not sure of the exact location , Jaina will not do it herself.

The Lich Queen is more threatening to the living than Isaacs is to the undead. After all, the holy light can only purify the undead, and the power of death will turn them into immortal monsters after eroding the living. For the Northern Expeditionary Army, such losses were completely unnecessary, and exchanging battle losses with the undead was also a very stupid behavior.

It was the Lich Queen who was uncomfortable with this secret confrontation, while Isaacs was very leisurely, and even had time to play Hearthstone with the two girl priests.

Tirion can be said to be an old buddy who followed Isaacs in the north and south. He knew that some of his actions seemed exaggerated, but in fact he was always trustworthy, so he didn't worry about the reason why he couldn't tell him.

At this moment, another commander, Garithers, hurried in, his thick riding boots thumping on the floor, and he naturally saw Elidie and Whitemane who were with Isaacs, However, there was no expression of emotion, as if he hadn't seen it at all.

"There is news, Your Highness, His Majesty the King has asked if we will support. There are very strong calls in the country to crusade against the Scourge. In addition, there is news from Kul Tiras that their fleet has assembled and is heading towards Northrend. "Garithers said in a deep voice.

The news that Jaina led the undead to attack the royal city of Lordaeron has spread to almost all human kingdoms, so it is not surprising that Kul Tiras reacted accordingly.

Isaacs pondered for a while, "We don't need support. The Northern Expedition has assembled a group of very elite forces from the Alliance... As for Kul Tiras, spread the word that they don't need to land, and block the coastline of Northrend as much as possible. , and deal with those North Sea pirates by the way."

The ships of Kul Tiras are basically powered by sails or steam. From the perspective of Lordaeron, they are already behind the times, but the role of bringing those tidesages cannot be underestimated. It is a very powerful force in the endless sea.

It's just that after the navy came ashore, its performance was a bit mediocre, and the friction with the new tribe this year completely exposed the one-sidedness of the Kul Tiras army.

Therefore, it is most appropriate for them to block the coastline. The Scourge wants to transport a large number of undead to other continents. It is obviously unrealistic to only rely on the two floating cities for transmission. It still needs to go by sea. The blockade of Kul Tiras can make the Scourge The Legion's influence is limited to Northrend.As for the North Sea pirates, these short-sighted guys once attacked the fleet of the Northern Expedition Army. Although they are not very popular, they are a trouble after all, and it is necessary to deal with them smoothly.

"By the way, tell them by the way, I will let Jaina's matter be resolved reasonably."

……

"That's enough. It's a little unreliable to mobilize arcane energy only with mental power. It still needs a specific shape." Kalecgos said, looking at the "girl" in front of him with satisfaction.

At this time, Jaina seems to have regained her shape, with a slender figure and exquisite facial features. She looks no different from a normal girl—except that her whole body is translucent blue-purple.

This is a soul body composed of high-purity arcane energy, so that Jaina's ghost no longer can only possess Bigworth because it is too weak. Compared with Isaacs' perfunctory, Kalecgos' care Obviously more thoughtful.

Jaina looked at her new "body" strangely, could she be an elemental creature now?But in any case, it is easier to guide arcane energy in this state, and it should be able to complete Isaacs' mission.

"Thank you." She said softly to the blue dragon.

It is not an easy task to condense such a body with energy attributes. Kalecgos has made a lot of efforts, not only providing materials, but also needing to cast spells to complete the construction.

"It's just a little effort." Kalecgos said generously, and he looked at Bigworth, "Although your soul body has left, Mr. Bigworth still has a very close spiritual connection with you now, you You can control it at any time and let it do some simple things for you, but it’s a little difficult to get attached to it.”

"Can we stop here? We still have to train." Teligosa on the side couldn't help but speak, she was a little jealous, because Kalecgos had never shown such enthusiasm when getting along with her fiancée .Originally, Teligosa meant that Jaina would use Bigworth's body for training directly in order to save time, but Kalecgos insisted on shaping an energy form for him.

The so-called training to control the Focusing Iris, in the absence of the Focusing Iris, is essentially training the affinity for the Azeroth Magic Weave.

They were on an energy node of the Nexus at this time, and Kalecgos looked at Jaina's pretty face with encouraging eyes, "Just do what I say, don't be too nervous."

Jaina nodded lightly, and Teligosa who was not far away snapped her fingers, the basic magic circle maintaining this node suddenly disappeared, and a large amount of arcane energy leaked out quickly.

"Jaina, quick!" Kalecgos yelled hastily.

Without him needing to speak, Jaina had already started to act, and the girl's energy body suddenly became dazzling, and in just a few seconds, the violent arcane energy was restrained, turning from a raging flood into a slow The river returned to its normal track.

"It's just... incredible." Kalecgos sighed, looking at Jaina with a different kind of appreciation.

At this time, Jaina was translucent, like a goddess of magic.

"It's not surprising, after all, the other she can perform arcane arts to the extent that even we are amazed." Teligosa was also shocked, but still maintained a calm tone.

"Is Lord Malygos in the Eye of Eternity?" Kalecgos asked suddenly, his eyes burning.

"Not here, why?" Teligosa was still at a loss.

"Jianna needs to have absolute control over the Focusing Rainbow in a short period of time. Training here is obviously not as effective as in the Eye of Eternity, the core of the magic net."

"Are you crazy?" Teligosa looked at Kalecgos with a strange look, "It is equivalent to father's lair! Even we are not allowed to enter, and you want an outsider..."

"Don't let rigid dogma constrain your thinking, Teri." Kalecgos' eyes were burning, looking decisive, "The Lich Queen has shown a very powerful strength, and if she wants to fight against her, Jaina must fight against her. The magic net itself has a deeper understanding, and the Eye of Eternity is the most suitable place, as long as we act discreetly, Lord Malygos will not notice."

"But……"

"We are not doing this just to fulfill our friend's entrustment, Terry, you have to understand that we are fulfilling our duties as guardian dragons, and only by solving the Scourge, will the creatures of Azeroth regain peace. "

Teligosa was persuaded.
