Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 296: Ajonirub

Sylvanas has independent command authority, and Jack cannot force her, so he has to let Taelan be responsible for guarding the Tomb of Stars and the entrance to the underground kingdom.

Tyran Fording has always regarded his father Tirion as his idol. When Tirion was deprived of his Paladin status for saving orcs, Tyran felt very confused. Later, Tirion became the Lord of the Silver Hand, and Tyran cheered up again.

Regardless of strength or spiritual attributes, Tyran was not a strong officer. But he had no problem doing the work of positioning. Before Alessandro arrived at Hearthglen, it was Tyran who commanded the army to resist the attack of the undead.

Although the spider demons were different from the undead that attacked Hearthglen, Tyran was not completely ignorant of them. He ordered the soldiers to set up defense facilities in an orderly manner, and all the sentry towers were covered with stones to prevent the spider demons from attacking from underground.

Although this will consume a lot of manpower and material resources, it is the safest way.

Sylvanas was not unprepared. She led a large number of mages in the army. Although these mages were not very strong, they were all very wealthy. With a lifespan of thousands of years, the elven mages had accumulated a lot of wealth. They distributed protective runes to the entire team, which could help the soldiers save their lives in the sneak attacks of the spider demons.

Jack was not idle either. He drove the Black Pearl to the vicinity of Ice Mist Village and helped the Minotaur people clear out the spider demon army.

After the siege of Ice Mist Village was lifted, the Tauren inside followed Baine Bloodhoof to see Jack. They looked different from normal Tauren, and after their introduction, they called themselves Yakmen.

The yak man expressed his gratitude to Jack and said that he could join the Silver Covenant and help Jack attack the spider demon.

Jack agreed to the joining of the yaks, leaving a few of them as intelligence officers, and the rest were all under the command of Baine Bloodhoof. Then he transferred Baine Bloodhoof to Sylvanas to make up for the weakness of the elves without meat shields.

Sylvanas expressed her gratitude, and the rift between the two caused by their disagreement immediately disappeared.

Jack helped Sylvanas develop some tactics. Sylvanas looked at these wretched tactics and looked at Jack with a strange look in her eyes. However, she actively put these tactics into training.

After the supplies from Venture Bay arrived, Sylvanas immediately launched an attack on the spider demon's underground kingdom.

"Azjol-Nerub, this is the name of the underground kingdom of the spider demon..."

"The spider demons have lived in the underground of Northrend for who knows how many years. They seem to have hollowed out the entire underground of Northrend. As far as we know, there are no less than ten entrances to the underground kingdom, all around Ice Mist Village..."

"There are a lot of them, but they rarely move on the ground, as if there is something terrible on the ground. At first we thought they were afraid of the dragon, but later we found that this idea was wrong..."

The yak guide continued to introduce the situation of the spider demons to Sylvanas, and Sylvanas analyzed it carefully, hoping to find some useful information from it.

"boom--"

There was an explosion ahead. The Yak guide plugged his ears with his hands and complained, "These earplugs are too small, and several of them tied together don't soundproof. I wonder when the logistics department will be able to deliver the right earplugs."

Sylvanas smiled and said, "It's your ear holes that are so big!"

Soon, a ranger came running over to report, "We just found a team of 13 spider demons, and we have cleared them all."

With Jack's dirty tactics, the elves easily killed a large number of nerubians. Each nerubian group was about 10-15 people, and a magic bomb thrown at them could kill or injure them. Then the elves finished off the fight, and no nerubians could escape. The Lich King noticed that Azjol-Nerub had been invaded, and immediately contacted Anub'arak.

"I will destroy these intrusions, my lord!"

Anub'arak immediately stopped his attack on other spider demons and mobilized his troops towards the entrance of Icemist Village.

This crypt lord was once a hero of the spider demons. When resisting the invasion of the undead, he was overwhelmed by endless undead. After being resurrected by the Lich King, he became the Lich King's most loyal subordinate.

When the Lich King went to Lordaeron, he did not bring it with him because he had a more important task, which was to bring the entire underground kingdom under the rule of the Lich King.

However, this is not a task that can be completed in a short period of time. The underground kingdom is so large that it takes a year or so to walk through it. Moreover, the passages inside are intricate and the spider demons have many ways to escape, so it is not so easy to clear them out.

Moreover, another force also intervened. Those tentacles that suddenly appeared made Anub'arak think of some bad things.

Sylvanas sensed something was wrong before Anub'arak arrived.

"The number of spider demons is increasing rapidly. It seems that they have discovered us."

Sylvanas immediately adjusted her strategy. "Blow up those small passages, leaving only the main passage."

The underground kingdom's strengths lie in its intricate tunnels, but its weakness also lies in them. Sylvanas' strategy is simple: to blow down the tunnels, even if it means blowing down the ground as well.

Without the tunnel connection, is the underground kingdom still an underground kingdom?

The answer is: No!

When Anub'arak arrived, he was immediately faced with an awkward situation. The elven wizards had isolated the underground hall with magic, and the spider demons could not rely on burrowing to launch a sneak attack. If they wanted to attack, they could only rush through the few main roads. However, the elves were already on high alert, and even if they could defeat the elves, the spider demons would suffer heavy losses.

However, if there is no attack, the underground kingdom will be gradually devoured by the elves, which is something Anub'arak does not want to see.

Anub'arak reported to the Lich King, who decisively ordered him to attack, even if it meant losing many spider demons, in order to drive out the elves.

The Lich King is so anxious because the underground kingdom is directly connected to his Frozen Throne. If the elves find this passage, they will face a direct attack from the Northern Expedition Army.

By then, the Black Pearl will launch an attack in the air, and the Frozen Throne will be unable to resist.

He had no place to escape and could only hold on.

He now regrets it very much. He should not have sold Varimathras and Deserok earlier. With these dreadlords, he could at least escape from Azeroth.
