After a night of dragon taming, Duque was starting to doubt his life.
Onyxia's taming last night made him think that he was dealing with Kalia, and not the once cunning and sinister evil female Black Dragon.
But this was good, as it saved him the trouble of keeping a close eye on her.
Having two female Eredar demons under him was enough of a headache. Playing this kind of game of mutual deception would be tiring.
Of course, he had to be rewarded.
When Onyxia woke up, Duque told her a secret.
"Have you heard of Arcafon's Treasury?"
Of course, Onyxia had never heard of this thing before, but that didn't stop her from hearing the most important word 'treasure vault'!
Treasures were the love of greedy She-Dragons!
"What? Tell me. " Countess Katrana, who used to exude a seductive aura, was now a greasy little fairy.
"The treasury is at Wintergrasp Lake. There is indeed a lot of good equipment there, but you won't want them."
"Why?" She asked even though she knew that Duque was trying to bait her.
"Because the key to the treasury lies in the few guardians."
Wintergrasp Lake, where the treasury was located, was the largest lake in Northrend. With its unique strategic location and rich elemental materials, it naturally became a place that the Alliance and the Horde fought over. Now that the Horde's army had not set off, and young Salufar was still gathering his subordinates in the Barren Lands, Arcafon's treasury naturally had nothing to do with the Horde.
The location of the treasury was rather sensitive.
From the map of Azeroth, the shape of Northrend in the north was a bit like a big kidney. The west and east sides were closer to the central maelstrom, while the Dragonbone Waste in the middle of the Wyrmrest Temple was sunken into the north.
Although there were traces of the Scourge Army throughout Northrend, strictly speaking, the southern region was not under their control.
The Scourge Army's absolute control was actually the Icecrown Glacier in the northwest of Northwind.
On the map, Wintergrasp Lake was located at the midpoint between the Alliance's new Fearless Fortress in the Northwind Tundra region and Arthas' Icecrown Fortress. It was only a mountain away from the Second Fool's nest. It could be said that the treasury was quite close to the Gate of Heaven's Wrath, which could reach Arthas' lair, the Icecrown Fortress. However, it was not within the Doomsday Army's absolute control.
As an ancient Titan building, the treasures inside could not be underestimated.
The guardians were the Rock Guardian Arkavon, the Storm Guardian Emarron, the Flame Guardian Colalon, and the Ice Guardian Turawan.
The four demigod guardians were typical elemental giants. Duque didn't know if they had divinity in them. Even if they didn't, the incomparably pure power of the four elements in them was a great supplement for Duque and Onyxia.
After becoming a demigod of the Weave, the Weave continuously absorbed the spiritual force of its user. It also used the excess spiritual force to connect to the four major elemental realms, extracting the wandering elements and filtering them before sending them to the spellcaster for use.
In the process, Duque had refined many high-purity elements. However, the higher the purity, the harder it was to refine, and a battle between gods required extremely high purity elements to hurt the other party. In the battle with Kil 'jaeden, Duque had experienced this deeply.
If he had been the main attacker in the battle at the Well of the Sun, who knew how long it would take to grind the eggs to death.
After explaining the characteristics of the treasury to Onyxia, Duque concluded, "Arkavon's treasury is both an opportunity and a trap for Arthas."
"I understand! It's a good opportunity. "
It was easy to talk to a clever dragon. If they waited until the Fearless Fortress was built before going to Arkavon's treasury, it would become a push, and Arthas would definitely not consider attacking casually. On the other hand, if Duque went to the treasury now, whether Arthas came out or not, the Alliance would benefit.
If he came out, Duque, who now had the air advantage, would definitely not mind letting Elune throw a bunch of meteorites at him to teach the fool a lesson.
If he didn't come out, because Duque was wandering in front, the Scourge would definitely not dare to pass by Duque and attack the Fearless Fortress directly. This would also buy time for the Fearless Fortress to be built.
This was where Duque's strategy was ruthless.
First knock out the Scourge's strongest air force, then step by step cut off the Scourge's space of activity and cut off their wings. This kind of strategy could be said to be steady and imposing, and it was used by the Alliance, so it was not easy to make mistakes.
In the morning, after washing up, Duque took the Black Dragon Princess and Jaina and opened the portal to Naxxramas. In the command post of this flying fortress, Duque held a video conference with the Alliance leaders.
Magni Bronzebeard was the first to ask, "What? You said you want to attack Arkavon's treasury? I have no problem with this, but Duque, do you mean we are going to attack Anjasa, the Gate of Heaven's Wrath? "
Duque raised his hand, and a general 3D map of the Icecrown Glacier appeared in front of the kings.
It had to be said that Ner 'zhul and Arthis had chosen a good place for their nest. The terrain of the Icecrown Glacier was very high, located in the northwest of Northrend, with an average altitude of more than a thousand meters. The whole area looked like a 'ω' on the map, or it could be said to be shaped like a horseshoe.
Duque explained, "There are only two ways to reach the Icecrown Fortress where the Lich King Arthis is located. One is to attack the Gate of Heaven's Wrath in the southwest side of the mountain, and after that, the Icecrown Fortress is right above the gate. The second is to obediently follow the Lich King's line of defense from the southeast all the way to the north side of the canyon, braving the firepower from the top of the canyon, then circle back from the north to the [Court of Bones] in the southwest, and finally kill their way to the Icecrown Fortress."
This choice would make any commander with a little common sense frown.
This kind of detour was simply sending food to the Scourge Army. Not to mention the firepower from the top of the canyon, just the people who died in the canyon and were resurrected on the spot were enough to make the attackers suffer. More and more enemies would appear every minute.
"Can't we attack from the air?" Kudran frowned deeply, "My men are already used to flying in cold weather, give us some time …"
Duque shook his head, "Impossible!"
Duque casually waved his finger, and on the 3D map, the plateau basin where the Icecrown Glacier was located was suddenly enveloped by a mournful howl of a blizzard.
Duque sternly said, "This time, Arthis clearly has the geographical advantage. I have tried many times, but I can't extend the Magic Net to the Icecrown Glacier and the Storm Cliffs in the east. That is Arthis' absolute home ground, and he can summon a large number of Frost Elementals in that area at will, destroying all the Aerial Knights and flying fleets that approach. "
