Chapter 1151: Smooth and Ambush
The battle against the Frozen Hall went very smoothly with the addition of the Fallen Demon, and the coalition forces were able to overcome it with less than one-twentieth of the previous casualties, but after taking the main hall, it became difficult to advance.
A new conundrum confronted the coalition forces.
Above the Frozen Hall, on the middle floor of the Icecrown Fortress, is the most treacherous laboratory since the establishment of the Scourge Legion, the Scourge Factory. Here there is a new type of abomination researched by the Scourge Legion, as well as countless traps, it is these traps that have caused the army of Sinking Demons to suffer great losses, blocking the footsteps of these red demons, and also allowing people to see another Achilles heel of Sinking Demons.
When the Fallen Demons who shouted about Lacanihu entered the Scourge Factory, the corrosive poisonous gas caused them to fester, and the dead Fallen Demons were not resurrected by the Sinking Demon Wizards, as their bodies had been poisoned and corrupted into puddles of pus.
The resurrected object is without a corpse, and the Fallen Demon Wizard is powerless.
If you want to deal with the infinitely resurrected Sinking Demon, if the way to kill the Sinking Demon Wizard doesn't work, you might as well try to beat the Sinking Demon to the bone.
Many people secretly keep this situation in mind.
No race is invincible, and the infinitely resurrected Sinking Demon also has its own nemesis, and the poison that can quickly corrode the body can make them helpless.
Well, now is not the time to think about anything else, how to deal with the poison of the Scourge Factory is the most important thing to care about.
It was not easy to deal with the poison that permeated the entire Scourge Factory and even the entire middle level of the Icecrown Fortress, and even if the Silver and White Crusaders had sent many paladins and priests to use the power of the Holy Light to purify it, the effect was not ideal. Not to mention the violent, poisonous poison used by the Scourge's legion to defend the Icecrown Fortress, it is extremely difficult to eradicate, making people at a loss.
Even if you can find the druid of the Night Elves to come and purify the poison, it will take a lot of time, but don't forget that there is a Leo in the coalition, a Leo with the perfect poison system, and the poison in the Scourge Factory in front of him is completely pediatric.
Without a glimpse of the poison of the secret of the law, it is nothing in front of Leo.
"It's naïve to want to rely on poison to stop my progress."
It only took Leo half a minute to clean up the poison that was blocking the progress of the coalition forces, and the Scourge Factory was no longer the biggest defense to stop the coalition forces.
Without the obstruction of the poison, the coalition soldiers immediately swarmed in.
It seems that out of faith in the Scourge Factory, or perhaps the poison of the Scourge Factory even the undead of the Scourge Legion themselves cannot bear it, when the poison is eliminated by Leo, the coalition soldiers did not encounter any resistance from the Scourge Soldiers, but the remaining mechanisms in the Scourge Factory made them suffer enough.
Even with the Sinking Demon in front of the coalition forces, the coalition forces also paid the lives of thousands of soldiers in order to fully occupy the Scourge Factory.
Instead of dying in a frontal battle with the enemy, they died in some traps that could not be put on the table, and these more than 1,000 soldiers died extremely unwillingly. Their death also served as a wake-up call to the other soldiers, who knew that they were dealing with the Undead Scourge and that they could do anything to stop the Coalition from advancing and prevent the Coalition from killing the Frozen Throne.
Occupying the Scourge Factory, the middle level of the Icecrown Fortress was declared to be completely lost, although in addition to the Scourge Factory, there are also the Scarlet Hall and the Frostwing Hall in the middle of the Icecrown Fortress, but Lannather, who guards the Scarlet Hall, has led the Sarein clan to mutiny, and the owner of the Frostwing Hall, Sindragosa, has also been put into the command of Leo early, both places are in a state of unguarded, what defense is there to talk about?
The battle had been fought in the Coalition's favour, and they had taken two-thirds of the Icecrown Fortress with a slight loss, and were about to reach the Frozen Throne where the Lich King was, and most of the coalition forces were excited, but a few remained awake.
The battle against Icecrown Fortress seems to be going well, but it also has great hidden concerns.
None of the Scourge powerhouses guarding the Icecrown Fortress have appeared so far, and the Scourge soldiers killed by the coalition are only some ordinary high-level undead, not including the new type of undead developed by Cataclysis professor Ptriside mentioned by the extremely powerful Walki and Lannasel, which have to be vigilant.
The Scourge seems to be retreating, but in fact, the main force left behind in the Icecrown Fortress has not lost much, they still retain a strong fighting force, if the coalition forces are carried away by the current victory, what awaits them will be a crushing defeat.
"Arthas also underestimated us, such a simple plan of arrogance only a fool can't see through."
Jean snorted at Leo's reminder, not looking too concerned, and the king of Gilneth felt that as long as he understood what the other party was playing and was always vigilant, he would not fall into the trap of the Scourge Legion.
Is that really the case?
Leo thinks that it may not be, no matter how you say it, Icecrown Fortress is also the lair of the Scourge Legion, and the Lich King has been operating here for many years, who knows what means will be used, it is better to be careful.
Be careful and make no mistake, it's too late to regret the loss.
Leo wanted to say this to Jean, but when he thought of this guy's stubborn surname, Leo stopped again, Jean this guy is a cow, and it is useless for you to persuade him to do what he recognizes, think about the wall of Greymane that isolates the whole of Gilneth from the world.
You can only pay more attention to prevent the Scourge Legion from taking advantage of the loopholes.
That's all Leo can do at this point.
Of course, Jean's conceit also has its own conceit, only to hear the wolf howl one after another in the icecrown fortress, and the soldiers of the Kingdom of Gilneth performed the werewolf transformation.
The Gilneth soldiers in their werewolf form are several times more agile than those in their human form, and their sense of smell is hundreds of times more sensitive, even if the Scourge Legion has any traps, they can detect them in advance.
The werewolf form does make Gilnes's soldiers more powerful and can also make them more aware of danger, but is the Lich King unprepared for this?
Leo didn't think Arthas would ignore this, after all, the werewolf soldiers of the Kingdom of Gilneth were no secret for a long time.
As it turned out, Leo was right, and the Scourge soon taught the aggressive Jean a lesson.
The Gilneth soldiers, who had transformed into werewolves, relied on their speed and quickly rushed to the front, and even the Sinking Demon who rushed in front to use as cannon fodder was left behind by them. At this moment, the walls of the Icecrown fortress suddenly cracked, and clusters of green ooze monsters shot out.
Because the wall was sealed too well, the werewolves' keen sense of smell did not detect it, and the werewolves did not expect that the Scourge would hide the soft mud monster in the wall, and they were caught off guard for a while.
The green ooze monster is full of poison, once it is stained by them, even a star and a half can poison people in two or three seconds, and although the vitality of the Gilneth soldier after transforming into a werewolf is stronger than that of ordinary people, it can only last less than two seconds.
Jean didn't rush too far because he was going to command the army, and his eyes were red with anger when he saw this.
"Despicable undead scourge, I'm going to tear you apart!"
Seeing his soldiers being poisoned by the highly poisonous ooze monsters one by one, Jean trembled.
Leo shook his head imperceptibly, he had already reminded Jean to be careful, and he also sent the Demon of Perdition to the front of the team to go to the thunder, who made Jean's self-confidence burst, who made Jean anxious, who made Jean not listen to his advice?
Now that something happened, I suffered a loss, and I regretted it, didn't I?
In order to divert Jean's attention and prevent him from discovering the abnormality of his expression, Lei Ao swept forward with the power of the law, and the green color on the ooze monster faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When the ooze monsters were full of poison, the soldiers of the coalition were so afraid of them that they didn't dare to attack indiscriminately, and now that they are not poisonous, who would be afraid of a pile of mud?
A group of coalition soldiers rushed straight over, ignoring the ooze monsters, only to see a burst of mud splashing, and the ooze monsters became a tragedy - they were directly trampled on. If you really want to describe the miserable situation of the ooze monsters, only the word "broken corpses" is appropriate.
After all the ooze monsters, the Coalition soldiers became more and more cautious as they advanced, scrutinizing every place, even if it took a lot of time.
Leo didn't say anything about the situation, he just looked at Kael'thas. To detect whether there is a trap ahead, it is not reliable to look at it with the naked eye, or it has to rely on mental power to perceive, when it comes to the mage team, of course, the blood elves are none other than the coalition army.
Kael'thas was not stingy at this time, under his order, several teams of blood elf mages walked to the front of the team, and the spiritual power perception could penetrate the wall and go to places that could not be seen by the naked eye.
However, to the anger of the coalition forces, the Scourge also seemed to know what methods the coalition forces would use, and after ambushing the coalition forces in a wave and using soft mud to shadow the coalition forces, they did not set other traps, which made the coalition forces nervous in vain.
Jean was even more angry when he learned of this situation, and he was depressed, why was he the one who was injured, he should have known that he should have followed Leo's advice and not be so rash as the enemy. It's just that things have already happened, and now it's too late to say anything, and it's still time to focus on how to exterminate the Scourge Legion.
With Jean's anger, the blood elf mage's caution, and the soldier's caution, the coalition marched toward the upper levels of the Icecrown Fortress, and as they progressed, the Lich King drew closer and closer to them.
"It's almost time to the Frozen Throne, everyone be careful."
Leo reminds everyone, including Kael'thas, Scarlett, and Varian, that the Scourge will not give in, and that the Lich King is not a man to be killed, and that what awaits the coalition forces on the Frozen Throne will be a fierce battle.
