Crystalsong Forest is located in the very center of the entire Northrend continent. It is a proper place for the Fourth World War. It is not so easy to gain a firm foothold here.

Fortunately, with the relationship between Sharlayan and the Dragon Clan, New Sandara City does not need to worry about the threat from the southern Dragonblight.

With the help of Stellagosa, Sharlayan invited the blue dragons to help the high elves who re-entered the lattice forest after thousands of years to readjust the local magic net structure.

As early as the existence of the Dark Night Empire, this area, which was also known as the Moonsong Forest at that time, was the inherent territory of the elves, and the ancient city of Sandara, one of the six major cities of the Dark Night Empire, was located here.

Due to a series of subsequent changes, the Moonsong Forest triggered an unprecedented arcane explosion under the death of the upper elves. A large area of ​​the forest was crystallized by the violent arcane magic power, and evolved into the current Crystalsong Forest.

Many years later, Drewin, headed by Fandral Staghelmet, planted a giant rune tree in the western part of Crystalsong Forest, where the structure of the magic web was greatly changed due to the impact of the arcane explosion.

Originally, Fandral planned to use the giant rune trees planted all over Azeroth to assist the growth of Andashir, the crown of the snowfields, and curb the spread of the Saronite veins.

Unfortunately, because Andashir's roots were too deep into the land of Northrend, they accidentally touched Yogg-Saron's prison, which provided an excellent opportunity for the Old Gods to invade the Emerald Dream with the help of the World Tree network.

As a last resort, Fandral and the others could only bear the pain and cut down Andashir.

Although Andashir was cut down, the giant rune trees planted by the Drewins remained, and were later taken over by the Green Dragon Clan.

That's right, the location of these giant rune trees later became the nodes connecting the material world and the Emerald Dream, and the Great Shade of Ashenvale, which is now being monitored by Mannoroth, is one of them.

Fandral Buckhelm was a curmudgeonly man who had done great harm to the Emerald Dream through his haste and recklessness.

Even after thousands of years passed, Fandral still brooded over this.

There is a saying that goes, where you fall, you must get up.

During the period when he was ordered to develop the Sholazar Basin, Fandral readjusted the World Tree network plan that had been formulated thousands of years ago.

The miracle tree Arcandor, which Sharlayan and Valleywalker Farodin successfully cultivated in Suramar, gave Fandral a lot of inspiration.

With the help of Arcandor's ability to harmonize different energies, Fandral carried out various improvement experiments on the Miracle Seed with great interest, and obtained some results one after another.

It is thanks to the efforts of Druyin such as Fandral and Farodin that the output of Alcandor cuisine, which was originally impressive, has been able to increase year after year.

Today, with the full popularity of Arcandor, the danger of magic addiction that once made the elves talk about it has long since disappeared.

After solving this major problem that plagued all elf branch races, Fandral turned his attention back to the World Tree network plan that had suffered a huge failure many years ago.

The original Arcandor can harmonize arcane and natural forces, and in theory, it should be able to harmonize other energies with gentle natural forces after modification.

For example, the power of the void.

Objectively speaking, the World Tree network plan formulated by Fandral was not a complete failure, and Andashir did effectively curb the brutal expansion of the Saronite mine.

As early as thousands of years ago, the Cenarion Circle conducted in-depth analysis and research on the composition of Saronite.

This ore is not native to Azeroth, but contains a small amount of void power, a deformed by-product of the influence of the power of the old gods escaping from the cage.

To this day, there are still sporadic Saronite deposits growing on the land of Northrend, but their harm to Northrend is far less than it was back then.

Having said that, in Fandral's words, these Saronite ores are essentially the "eyes" of the ancient gods imprisoned in the cage to observe the outside world.

Fandral never forgot that he failed to do his best back then.

Last year, Fandral and Sharlayan made a deal, and the druids obtained permission to enter Crystalsong Forest to improve the giant rune tree.

Fandral's experiment is also of great use to Sharlayan. Queen Azshara is still waiting for the druids to develop a new type of Alcandor that can reconcile the power of the void. This is a win-win deal. .

Fandral is a pragmatist through and through. Malfurion and Tyrande worried that Queen Azshara would rob the dominance of the night elves after the return of Queen Azshara, but Fandral didn't care about it.

He doesn't care who the night elves are at the helm, as long as this person has the ability to lead the group and the country to continue to grow and develop.

After more than a year of hard work, Fandral successfully improved the giant rune tree in Crystalsong Forest, and successfully formed a resonance network with the improved Arkan'dor he planted in other areas of Northrend.

After several months of observation, Fandral can now proudly announce that his World Tree network plan has finally achieved phased progress after thousands of years.

Within the scope of the improved Arcandor's resonance network, the Saronite, which is the eye of the ancient god, quickly loses its activity, and the tiny amount of void power contained in it is also transformed into mild non-attribute energy under the coordination of natural forces.

After all, Crystalsong Forest and the Isle of Quel'Danas, where the Sunwell is located, are far apart. Even if there is a magic net pipeline modified by the blue dragon to transmit energy, there will still be a lot of loss in the process of energy transmission.

As a result, the simplified version of Bandin Norrell's enchantment that shrouded the sky over Crystalsong Forest was much lower in output than the original local version.

With a large amount of non-attribute energy obtained by transforming Saronite... or Yogg-Saron infiltrating the void energy of Northrend, the simplified version of Bandin Norrell's enchantment centered on the city of New Sandarra gets greatly enhanced.

To this day, the entire Crystalsong Forest is covered in enchantments, including the iron wall dam built by the high elves at the border with Icecrown.

Due to the difference in terrain, there is a large-scale waterfall at the border of Icecrown Glacier and Crystalsong Forest.

Before the high elves settled in Crystalsong Forest, the waterfall would resume its normal flow every summer when the temperature in Northrend was relatively high.

The formation of this waterfall impacted a small lake on the side of the Crystal Song Forest, as well as streams flowing through most of the Crystal Song Forest, bringing precious fresh water resources to the Crystal Grid Forest.

In winter, the upstream of the waterfall will be frozen by the extremely cold climate of the Icecrown Glacier, forming a spectacle of frozen waterfalls.

Affected by the simplified version of Bandinoril's enchantment, Crystalsong Forest has the same climate as Quel'Thalas itself, and the climate becomes like spring all year round.

The original spectacle of frozen waterfalls was never seen again in warmer climates, but so did the resulting problems.

In order to defend against possible attacks on Crystalsong Forest after the rise of the Scourge, Sharlayan proposed a few years ago to build a strong dam upstream of the waterfall before the Scourge began to expand and transform it into an energy-efficient dam. A military base with a large garrison of troops.

After the proposal was approved by the Sun King Kael'thas and the cabinet, and with the efforts of the two new Sandara lords, the increasingly solid iron wall dam made Ner'zhul, who was determined to expand his territory, feel stuck in his throat.

Judging from the topographic map, Icecrown is also bordered by Sholazar Basin, Wintergrasp, Crystalsong Forest, and the Storm Peaks.

But in fact, Ner'zhul's options for external expansion are quite limited.

At first, he planned to take down Crystalsong Forest, which was located in the center of Northrend, so that he could attack and retreat.

However, the high elves who came to occupy the place in advance didn't give him any chance. Whether it was digging holes from the ground or sending gargoyles from the sky to make a surprise attack, the high elves under the command of Vereesa gave him impregnable protection.

So Ner'zhul changed his mind and planned to go south to take down Lake Wintergrasp, but he was beaten back by the high elves who had prepared for it.

In desperation, Ner'zhul could only try to the western Sholazar Basin.

For a while, Ner'zhul once thought that his plan to invade Sholazar had succeeded, and the night elves, who were busy opening up the territory, failed to notice his little tricks in the ground.

However, just when Ner'zhul was gearing up to make persistent efforts, Sharlayan jumped out in time and slapped him in the face and told him...

"No, you didn't."

What? Why not develop towards the Storm Peaks to the east?

Although Ner'zhul's overall situation is worrisome, at least he is not a complete idiot.

But anyone who lives in Northrend should have a basic understanding - the storm cliffs are the inherent territory of the guardian of the titans, unless you are extremely confident in your strength, you should not easily enter this guardian's private land.

Otherwise... Loken, who fully activated the Creator Engine and stormed the soldiers, will let you feel what is called Titan Manufacturing.

With no hope of external expansion, the impotent and furious Ner'zhul could only do his best to develop within his one-acre three-point land.

Compared with when Ner'zhul was just thrown into Azeroth, today's Icecrown Glacier has changed greatly, and a large number of man-made facilities built by undead who are not afraid of cold and heat and tireless can be seen everywhere.

"Hiss~"

Standing on the top of the iron wall dam covered by the enchantment, Solas, who no longer needed to breathe, subconsciously gasped.

"This... can such a majestic fortress be built on a rootless glacier?"

The Icecrown Fortress standing in the southwest of the Icecrown Glacier has been basically completed~lightnovelpub.net~The steel materials needed to build the fortress are all from Saronite, and the cold steel outer wall is in a blue-black tone as a whole.

The Frozen Throne where Ner'zhul was located was still an open-air structure, but it was not so easy to climb up. It was necessary to break through the entire defense line carefully arranged by the Lich King.

At this time, the demon army commanded by Tichondrius was attacking all the way south from the secret base of the Burning Legion in the north of the glacier. He personally showed the defenders of Azeroth how strong the defense line Ner'zhul had spent years building was.

Vereesa has long been accustomed to this, but Solas, Daelin, and Aronsus who saw this scene for the first time had very serious expressions.

"Ahem..." Dai Lin coughed lightly for a while and asked in distress: "This demon army is certainly not the main force of the Burning Legion, but it seems to be quite powerful."

"Even the Burning Legion can't penetrate this solid line of defense in a short period of time. How can we quietly send Solas to the depths of Icecrown Citadel to challenge the Lich King?"
