Bolvar, who became the Lich King in history, was a Lich King who had no sense of existence. In a sense, he was not as famous as the Four Horsemen of the New Apocalypse, who later belonged to him. In any case, there was the former King of Torrential Fortress, Soras Trollbane, and the white-legged Sally Whitemane of the Blood Dog Couple.
So, when Duque thought of this problem, he was still a little annoyed.
"I can't kill Fordragon just because there's a Lich King, can I?" Duque laughed bitterly in his heart.
One could not become a Lich King just because they wanted to. First, they had to have extraordinary willpower. Without willpower, there was no spiritual power, and there was no way to cross the void and control the immortals from thousands of miles away.
Without willpower, even if they were placed on the throne of the Lich King, they would not be able to do anything.
In his previous life, Bolvar was betrayed in the Gate of Wrath, and then burned by Alexstrasza, who temporarily became the Minister of Foreign Affairs. His whole body was bathed in flames, and the plague virus in his body was burned to ashes, pulling him back from the brink of death.
Of course, no one could withstand such a high temperature of the Red Dragon's flames. Bolvar's body was tormented by the flames, but he was already half alive and half dead. Later, the Lich King found him in the Gate of Wrath and brought him back to Icecrown Fortress, trying to turn him into a Death Knight to serve him. But Bolvar's strong willpower prevented him from obeying the Lich King.
Bolvar had experienced the cruelest willpower training to become the Third Lich King.
"Sigh! I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. "Duque gave up on worrying about the future.
Duque suddenly laughed bitterly. Arthas's car had not been overturned yet, and he was already thinking about the problem of his successor. Wasn't that a little too ambitious?
Arthas retreating his troops back to Icecrown Fortress was not equivalent to a beautiful woman lying naked and begging for a frontal assault. On the contrary, it made the Scourge Army into a tortoise's shell.
Anyone who dared to underestimate this kind of strategic retreat would hit their head and bleed.
Duque was still playing it safe.
First, he had Gavin Rad and Theon lead the Silver Hand into the field and occupy the Dark Cathedral and the Evil Castle in the middle of Icecrown Glacier. Once he gained control of these two key Mana Vein Nodes, he would be able to destroy the Magic Array that Arthis had set up in the Icecrown Glacier.
Duque didn't even let Naxxramas or the Dalajan sit directly on either side. Instead, he asked Naru to purify it before personally setting up a magic array.
Should I say, as expected of the Filthy Demon Queen? Duque really did find something fishy about these two Earth Veins.
It was a very secretive magic spell. If someone or a powerful magic system extracted mana from it, it would be fine normally, but once it entered 100% status, the spell hidden in the mana vein would be triggered and inject the Will of the Lich King into the magic system.
"Tsk, have we been discovered?" Dragon Lich Malygos spat.
Anastrian, who had an ice skull on his head, laughed. "How could that little trick fool Duke Marcus?"
"Hmph!"
After occupying five of the six Mana Veins in the Icecrown Glacier, Duque could finally announce that he had obtained overwhelming control of the Magic Net in this area.
From this moment onwards, Icecrown Fortress would no longer receive an abundant supply of mana. As long as they were willing to work hard to weaken it, they would definitely be able to make the Icecrown Fortress lose its mana.
Throughout the second half of March, the Allied Army had been setting up cannons.
From the Dark Cathedral to the Door of Fear, Kaleisa, and then to the Evil Castle in the middle of the region, the Alliance had set up more than five thousand heavy cannons with a calibre of 150 mm and above on this purified land.
Three new Gustav Cannons, which were the most representative of the cannon doctrine, were placed behind the back slope of the Evil Castle of Malecaris, which had the highest terrain.
Length: 42.97 meters
Width: 7 meters
Height: 11.6 meters
Weight: 1,350 tons
Caliber: 800 mm
Length: 32.48 meters
Weight: 400 tons
Shooting Angle: + 53 degrees
Shell Weight:
71 tons (Armor-piercing Shell)
48 tons (High Explosive Shell)
In an era without missiles, such heavy cannons could be said to be a true killing machine.
In order to avoid a repeat of the incident where Arthis had blown up Naxxramas with one big move, the sneaky Duque had ordered all of the 200mm and above cannons to be moved to the back slope, not giving the two fools a chance to attack directly.
After all, the trajectory of the cannons was a parabola. Azeroth was a planet, and the ground had a natural arc. It was basically impossible to see anything beyond four kilometers on flat ground.
However, the new cannons, which used TNT as gunpowder, had a range of more than 10 kilometers.
And [Frostmourne's Fury] could only be used for direct attacks. Unless Arthis broke out of the encirclement by 20 kilometers just to dismantle the cannons, the three Gustav Cannons were absolutely safe.
When Duque told this to Magni, this unkind damn dwarf laughed for a long time.
"Hahaha! I was worried that my baby would be hurt. Now it's all right. "
Bu Laing leaned close to Duque and 'whispered', "Big Brother is a classic example of forgetting his old love when he has a new lover. Previously, he kept muttering that the caliber of the new ship cannons was not as good as the small steel cannons from back then. Later, after the Alliance gave him money to build these giant cannons that can shoot tens of kilometers, his resentment subsided a little."
Duque smiled bitterly.
The "small steel cannons" that had once ended the second Battle of the Dark Portal were, in the end, mortars. They could not shoot far at all. In a tactical sense, how could they compare with this kind of killing machine that could shoot tens of kilometers?
"In the future, we will build bigger cannons!" Magni shouted loudly.
Duque smiled but did not say anything.
In the future — that was the era of missiles and laser weapons.
However, in order to test Arthis's reaction, as far as the eye could see from Ice Crown Fortress, there were old cannons that could be pulled into a museum. They still had power, but it was just a pretense. Even the gunners were the mechanical gnomes under Mimiron.
"It's a pity that there are no more mechanical gnomes."
Duque was speaking the truth. In the limit left by Titan, there could only be 1000 mechanical gnomes at most, and 2000 mechanical dwarfs. This was the absolute authority given to Mimiron.
Otherwise, if there was an unlimited number of them, just Mimiron's robot army alone would be enough to drown the entire Calamity Army.
Mimiron, who was standing at the side, had electronic light flickering in his eyes. He suddenly said, "Duke Marcus, if I can obtain Titan's authorization, the limit of my control will be ten times the current upper limit."
After saying that, Mimiron fell silent again.
To be honest, Duque still did not know how to interact with Mimiron. There were many times when Duque could not find any common points with him. It was like chatting with a robot. He could not start a conversation.
On the other hand, Mimiron was also quite supportive of the alliance's battle.
"Sigh, can we only slowly interact after the war?"
