When Malygos came out of Icecrown Citadel, his face was no longer as calm and calm as before. What Arthas told him was like a huge boulder, pressing firmly on his heart.
"Lord Malygos, are we going back now?" Stellagosa looked back at Icecrown Citadel with some reluctance. She was full of curiosity about this place, but they didn't stay here for a long time.
"No, Stellagosa, I want to go directly to Wyrmrest Temple. You can come with me. You may as well meet the other brothers and sisters."
In fact, there is no time to discuss the real urgent matters with great fanfare. Malygos knows very well that if Ulduar continues to be corrupted by the ancient gods, the dragon army will be the first to suffer.
Alsace has made it clear to him the stakes. As Alsace said, the Scourge has now begun mobilizing for war. Several newly built floating cities are already loaded with various war equipment and personnel, ready to take off at any time.
Originally, Arthas planned to let Anub'arak lead the spider demons to open a tunnel that was large enough to accommodate the army. However, the altitude on the east side of Icecrown Glacier was much lower than that of the Storm Peaks. To find a suitable exit, one would have to go through almost the entire tunnel. Isolated mountain peaks from Icecap Glacier and Storm Cliffs.
Coupled with the fact that there may be facilities left by Titan on this stretch of road blocking the road, the tunnel plan was eventually cancelled.
All the natural disaster elites used floating cities to parachute directly to the Storm Cliffs. As long as these elites responsible for commanding still exist, they can raise an entire undead army in this special place in the Far North at any time.
But Alsace is still a little worried, because when facing the army of steel creations, the greatest advantage of the Scourge Legion has been almost completely eliminated. They cannot use the opponent's corpses to replenish their strength. Moreover, the quality of the steel soldiers will be higher than that of ordinary steel soldiers. Ghouls and skeletons summoned by spirit magic are much stronger.
What's worse is that, based on the number of troops stationed in Aldu'ulli, the Scourge Legion may not have any numerical advantage in this battle.
They can no longer quickly destroy the enemy's front and will in a snowball-like manner like they conquered Gronn and Ogres, and plagues, diseases, and some necromancy spells that are only effective on flesh and blood are also greatly restricted.
Even if Loken couldn't mobilize all the Iron Soldiers at the same time, it would still be a headache for Arthas.
In fact, Malygos is right about one thing. If Yogg-Saron can really mobilize all the guardians and steel creations, even if he has not yet escaped the shackles of the prison, the consequences for Azeroth will be devastating. .
But the situation is still under control. At least even with Loken's authority, there is no way to instantly wake up all the sleeping steel creations, so he and his master want to rely on the Forge of Will to complete their dark plan.
"Steel...steel army...huh?" Arthas kept talking about the enemy he was about to face over and over again. Suddenly, he thought of something, something he had almost forgotten.
He immediately used magic to summon one of his servants, the pharmacist North.
"Dear Master, your humble servant offers you my sincere greetings." Although North is obsessed with natural disaster potions and black witches, in front of others - at least Arthas, he is no different from a gentle gentleman of the ancient school. .
"How are you doing with your research on the original thorn beast's seed?"
In fact, the main people in charge of the original thorn beast are the black witch Falina and the psychic Hilgay, but those two guys are a bit neurotic and are not as easy to communicate with as North.
"Well," North was originally a little happy to be summoned by the Lich King, but this question made him a little overwhelmed, "We haven't been able to fully restore the activity of the original thorn beast, but some plant spores extracted from it But it can stimulate its vitality."
"What are the specific results?"
"This is information on cultivated plant life." North provided two pieces of information, one living specimen. "From the translation of the part of the ogre literature we obtained, we know that this low-level plant life is called a magic pod man. They have a certain sense of community and are very capable of reproducing, but overall they are not much smarter than wild animals.”
Arthas observed the information and specimens provided by North and was a little disappointed. Although the magic pod people were ferocious, if they went to fight the steel creations in the environment of the storm cliff, he would probably be frozen to death before he encountered the enemy's troops. .
But at least the natural disaster scientific research team has researched something, but it is of little use to the current situation.
"Let's put aside the pod people's project for now. There should be life forms similar to spores among the native plant life in Draenor. They can even invade mechanically constructed objects and seize control of them. Let Shirgey take a look. Can it be separated? If you encounter technical problems, ask the elf ghosts in Shandara, they should have unique insights into natural magic."
"I understand, Your Majesty." After North received the order, he immediately went to inform his colleagues. Their abilities were of limited use in this war, but they did not expect that they could be used for other purposes. It was already an accident. Very happy.
Arthas looked at the information left by North and rubbed his brows. Now the war with the Titan Guardians is imminent. If there is any way to target the steel creations left by the Titans, it can only be done by those in the barbaric era who have not yet experienced the war. An ancient species transformed by the "Titan Order".
The Old Gods are naturally good candidates to deal with the Iron Army, but unfortunately they are disobedient. Then Arthas can only resort to the next best thing and use the native creatures of Draenor to deal with the black technology left by the Titans.
However, he didn't hold out much hope, because the Iron Army of Azeroth was an "agent" created by all the Titans of the Pantheon, and the ancestors of the original thorn beasts, the three huge plant life forms, could only deal with Agra. Just a giant created by Ma on a whim.
Moreover, Arthas was deeply suspicious of North's research speed. After such a period of time, they actually peeled off a magic pod man? If they could get some wood spirits, Alsace wouldn't have such a headache now.
As for controlling the wood spirit, it is not difficult for him at all. Although plant life has unique life forms and social groups, the existence of any life cannot be separated from the soul. In particular, plant life has more demanding requirements for the soul. Arthas could easily stamp his mark on their fragile souls and had no fear of rebellion from the botany.
The mobilization of the Scourge Legion did not require Alsace to do it himself. The special command mode among the undead destined them to act at all levels with an efficiency unimaginable for the mortal army. In fact, before the war started, Arthas had nothing special to do. Do, he is now focused on thinking about the battle situation, and what else can be done as a bargaining chip to overwhelm the balance.
