As a Soul Reaper, mortals cannot see him. Therefore, he must have a piece of equipment to hide his whereabouts.
King Gale had never designed such equipment, and it would take some time to develop an idea.
Ael came to bid farewell to King Gale; she was returning to the Hall of Valor to report to Odyn.
King Gale also had to return to Nordrassil to design how to modify the Netherworld and the equipment to hide the Soul Reapers. In addition, how to mass-produce the Reaver's Scythe was also a difficult problem. After all, there was only one Sharad's Orb, and not many Hakkar's Bones and Nash's Fangs. Let alone mass production, a second Reaver's Scythe could not even be made.
He couldn't possibly cooperate with the Trolls, give them resources to revive Sharad, and then kill him hundreds or thousands of times, could he?
It seemed he could only find substitutes.
These problems were yet to be solved when Ael arrived at Nordrassil.
"Your Majesty, Odyn asked me to convey his request. He wishes to launch a northern expedition against Ulduar and requests your military assistance."
King Gale was surprised, "Odyn would actually ask me for help?"
Ael was a little embarrassed. Odyn certainly hadn't used the word 'request,' but she couldn't say that. After all, he was asking for help; if she used Odyn's original words, would King Gale still agree to send troops?
Seeing her expression, King Gale knew what was going on.
He said, "What has Odyn found out? Why is he in such a hurry for a northern expedition?"
"Loken attacked Freya and Hodir, imprisoning them in Ulduar. Odyn also saw Torim, but Torim had gone mad and attacked anyone he saw. The mechanical gnomes of Ulduar revealed information about Ulduar to Odyn: Torim's wife, Sif, was killed, and Mimiron was also tragically murdered by Loken. Therefore, Odyn believes Loken must be defeated as soon as possible, otherwise there will be unimaginable consequences."
"What consequences?"
King Gale asked knowingly. Of course, he knew Yogg-Saron was sealed beneath Ulduar. He just wanted to know more secrets, both of the Titan Guardians and the Old Gods.
It should be known that Yogg-Saron was not the only Old God. There was C'Thun sealed in Ahn'Qiraj, N'Zoth sealed in Nyalotha, Y'Shaarj, whose heart was killed and sealed in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, and Xal'atath, who was also killed, with only one claw remaining.
There were many things King Gale didn't know. If he didn't understand them, he wouldn't have the confidence to face the Old Gods directly, even with Odyn there.
Ulduar's war machines were extremely powerful. If the current Kaldorei were to face them, the Kaldorei Empire would be severely weakened.
Ael hesitated, but finally spoke: "Beneath Ulduar, an Old God is sealed..."
King Gale listened carefully, projecting every word Ael said as an image to understand the information about Ulduar more intuitively and clearly.
"So, the Ahn'Qiraj Holy City in Dragonblight was a city built by Yogg-Saron's minions?"
Ael nodded, "Not only that, he also has a powerful Spider Demon army under his command."
King Gale: "I know about that. We fought the Spider Demons over a hundred years ago. Later, we established many camps in Highmountain to guard against the Spider Demons' return. However, according to your intelligence, the Spider Demons don't seem to be very numerous anymore."
"The number of Spider Demons has indeed decreased, but that doesn't mean they are harmless. Spider Demons are good at digging tunnels, and it's very possible they have established unknown nests underground in Northrend. If Yogg-Saron hides troops in these nests, he might catch us off guard."
Azjol-Nerub, huh?
What is the scale of this underground kingdom now? According to the time estimate, it shouldn't be very large.
Having understood most of it, King Gale said, "I will send troops to support Lord Odyn, but my army has just started a war with Helya. Until Helya is dealt with, the number of troops sent will not be too many."
Ael was a little disappointed, but she also knew King Gale was telling the truth.
"I will report truthfully to Odyn."
After seeing Ael off, King Gale continued to immerse himself in planning.
Sending troops to assist Odyn was to see if he could gain any benefits in Ulduar. This Titan city contained too many good things. Especially Titan technology, if some could be obtained, the Kaldorei Empire's technological level would develop rapidly.
Even obtaining some war machines would be enough for the Kaldorei Empire to sweep the world and gain a stable development environment.
Ael returned to the Hall of Valor. Odyn listened to Ael's report, his face calm.
"How long did he say it would take to send troops?"
Ael shook her head, "From what I know of the elves, he can send troops at any time. You know, his spear has teleportation capabilities and can directly teleport to Northrend. However, the faster the troops are sent, the fewer there will be, as gathering soldiers also takes time."
Odyn frowned, "But the situation in Ulduar is urgent. The Vrykul, Earth Spirits, and mechanical gnomes there have all contracted the flesh curse. Every day that passes, they will become a little weaker. Go again and tell King Gale that I am deploying troops now, and it will take about ten days to reach Twin Bay. Have him meet me there."
Ael nodded, organizing her words as she flew towards Nordrassil.
"Ten days?" King Gale was very surprised, "Isn't that a bit too rushed?"
Ael smiled wryly: "You should know, Odyn is an impatient person."
King Gale pondered: "I understand!"
Ael smiled wryly, did he agree or not?
After seeing Ael off, King Gale first summoned the Blue Dragon Ambassador, Aesgos, and informed him of the situation: "I don't know the relationship between the Guardian Dragons and the Titan Guardians, or whether you should get involved. But regarding the safety of Azeroth, I must inform you. If the Guardian Dragons decide to participate in the war, send someone to Alpha Fortress, and I will formulate strategies and tactics based on your decision."
Aesgos's face was solemn, "I will inform the Dragon Aspects!"
In addition, King Gale also notified other allied races. Regardless of their current situation, they also had to send troops to participate, even if it was just symbolically sending one soldier.
Due to the long journey, King Gale decided to make Alpha Fortress the gathering point for the allied forces.
He himself directly teleported to Alpha Fortress, then ordered the troops stationed in Hovswald to travel by ship.
Ten days would certainly not be enough time to gather a large army. Fortunately, the army that had attacked Hovswald had not yet disbanded and could be transported directly by warships.
Odyn led his army to Twin Bay and docked at Alpha Port. The Valarjar's warships were also golden yellow, with the bow and stern resembling two ram horns, looking very beautiful. However, they had no naval combat capability, relying entirely on the Valarjar to engage in boarding actions. Fortunately, the Valarjar were spirits and could run across the water to approach enemy ships.
Odyn frowned, looking at King Gale and his taxiing soldiers, "Is this all the men you have?"
The Kaldorei showed their anger, very dissatisfied with Odyn's arrogant manner. Even if he was a Titan Guardian, he could not disrespect King Gale.
