Chapter 1554 Alkavon’s Treasure House
As the morning dawned, after a night of training the dragon, Duke began to doubt his life.
Onyxia's taming last night made him think that he was dealing with Kaliya, not an evil female black dragon that was once cunning and insidious.
But that's fine, it saves him the trouble of keeping an eye on her.
Having two eredar female demons under his command is already a headache. Playing this kind of intrigue game too much will make you tired.
Of course, merit cannot be denied.
When Onyxia wakes up, Duke tells her a secret.
"Have you heard of [Arkavon's Treasure House]?"
Of course Onyxia has never heard of this thing, but it doesn't stop her from hearing the two most important words, 'treasure house'!
Treasures and other things are the beloved of the greedy female dragon!
"What? Tell me about it?" Countess Katrana, who was once cool and exuding a seductive aura, is now a disgusting little goblin.
"The treasure house is in Wintergrasp. There is indeed a lot of good equipment in it, but you don't want that."
"Why?" She asked even though she knew Duke was tempting her.
"Because the focus of the treasure house lies in those guardians."
Wintergrasp, where the treasure house is located, is the largest lake in the Northrend continent. With its unique strategic location and abundant elemental materials, it has naturally become a battleground between the Alliance and the Horde in history. Now that the Horde's army has not yet set off, little Saurfang is even gathering his men in the Barrens, so Alkavon's treasure house naturally has nothing to do with the Horde.
The location of this treasure trove is quite sensitive.
Looking at the map of Azeroth, the shape of Northrend in the Northern Territory is a bit like a big waist. The west and east sides are closer to the Maelstrom in the middle, and the Dragonblight of Wyrmrest Temple in the middle sinks to the north. .
Although there are traces of the Scourge throughout Northrend, the southern region is not strictly under the control of the Scourge.
The real absolute control area of the Scourge is actually only the Icecrown Glacier area in the northwest of Northrend.
On the map, Wintergrasp is located exactly at the midpoint between the Alliance's newly built Dauntless Fortress in the Borean Tundra region in the southwest and the Icecrown Fortress in Alsace. It is separated by a mountain from the Second Idiot's lair. It can be said that the treasure house is quite close to the Gate of Scourge, which can directly penetrate into the Icecrown Citadel, Alsace's home base, but it is not an area absolutely controlled by the Scourge.
As an ancient Titan building, the treasures inside should not be underestimated.
The guardians are Alkavon the Stone Warden, Amarlon the Storm Warden, Coralon the Fire Warden, and Turawan the Ice Warden.
The four demigod-level guardians are all typical elemental giants. Duke didn't know if they had divinity in them. Even if they didn't, the extremely pure power of the four elements in them would be a great supplement to Duke and Onyxia.
Becoming a Demigod of the Magic Network, the Magic Network constantly absorbs the mental power of the user of the Magic Network, and uses the excess mental power to connect the four elemental realms, extract the free elements, filter them, and deliver them to the caster for use.
In the process, Duke refined many high-purity elements. But the higher the purity, the harder it is to refine, and god-level battles require ultra-high purity elements to hurt the opponent. Duke had deeply realized this during the battle with Kil'jaeden.
If he had been the main attacker in the first battle at Taiyangjing, I really don’t know how many years and months it would take to kill the egg.
After explaining the characteristics of the treasure house to Onyxia, Duke concluded: "Arkavon's treasure house is both an opportunity and a trap for Arthas."
"I understand! It really is a good time."
Talking to a smart dragon is easy. If he waited until the Dauntless Fortress was completed before going to Alkavon's Treasure House, it would become an advance, and Alsace would never consider attacking casually. On the contrary, Duke has now gone to the treasure house, and Alsace cannot come out, because the alliance has made money.
He came out, and Duke, who had the advantage in the air force at the moment, would definitely not mind letting a bunch of meteorites fall on Elune to teach the idiot how to behave.
He didn't come out because Duke was hanging in front of him, and the Scourge didn't dare to cross Duke and directly attack the Dauntless Fortress. This also bought time for the construction of the Fearless Fortress.
This is the spicy part of Duke's use of troops.
First knock out the most powerful air force of the Scourge, and then step by step strangle the space for activities of the Scourge Legion and cut off its wings. This method can be said to be calm and majestic, and it is used by the alliance, making it less likely to make mistakes.
In the morning, after washing up, Duke took the Black Dragon Princess and Jaina and opened the portal to Naxxramas. In the command post of this flying fortress, Duke held a video conference with the alliance leaders.
Magni Bronzebeard first asked: "What? You said you want to attack Alkavon's treasure house? I have no objection to this, but Duke, do you mean we want to attack Angatha, the Gate of Scourge?"
Duke raised his hand, and the general three-dimensional topographic map of Icecrown Glacier appeared in front of the kings.
It has to be said that Ner'zhul and Arthas chose a good place for their lair. The terrain of the Icecrown Glacier area itself is very high, located in the northwest of Northrend, with an average altitude of more than one thousand meters. The entire area looks like an 'Ω' on the map, or a horseshoe shape.
Duke introduced: "There are only two ways to reach the Icecrown Fortress where the Lich King Arthas is located. One is to storm the Gate of Scourge located in the southwest mountain. After entering, the Icecrown Fortress is above the gate; the other is to Obediently follow the defense line laid out by the Lich King, fight your way up the canyon from the southeast to the north, withstand the firepower falling from the sky at the top of the canyon, then circle back from the north, reach the [Court of Bones] in the southwest, and finally fight to Icecrown Fortress .”
Any commander with some common sense would frown upon this choice.
This detour is like delivering food to the Scourge Legion. Regardless of the firepower coming from above the canyon, just the guys who died below the canyon and were resurrected as undead on the spot would be enough for the attackers to drink. There are more and more enemies being beaten every minute.
"Can't we make a surprise attack from the air?" Kurdran frowned deeply: "My young men already have some experience in flying in cold weather. Give us some time..."
Duke shook his head: "Impossible!"
Duke flicked his finger, and the plateau basin area where the Icecap Glacier was located on the three-dimensional map was suddenly enveloped by a howling snowstorm.
Duke said seriously: "This time, Alsace obviously has the advantage. I have tried many times, but I can't extend the magic network to Icecrown Glacier and the Storm Cliffs area to the east. That is Alsace's absolute home field, and he can Summon the amount of frost elements in that area at will, and destroy all the approaching sky knights and flying fleets."
