At around 8 am on March 17, in the northwest of Snowfall City, about five hours away from Snowfall City, there was a medium-sized village located on the snowy forest.
The village is the location of the Icebound Union's outdoor base, surrounded by monster spawn points at levels 35 to 45. The members of the Icebound Union's guild can find corresponding monsters to gain experience without having to walk far, and replenishing supplies is very convenient. It is an ideal outdoor base location that is extremely suitable for players' current level.
Five months ago, the Frozen Union moved its station to this forest and snow, and after successfully repelled three waves of regional monster attacks ranging from 35 to 45, it firmly took root here. A few days ago, the brave invincible of the second largest guild of floating snow city rushed to move the station in order to seize a better field station with a higher-level monster refresh point. as a result, the third wave of monsters captured the station, and their strength dropped greatly at that time. if it weren't for the inside information, they almost took the opportunity to rob the qualification of the field station. In contrast, the strength of the frozen trade unions is evident!
At this time in the past, the Icebound Union's headquarters was usually quite quiet. Either they logged off for a break or were mostly out in the wilds leveling up and killing monsters. As members of the first guild in Snowfall City, most of them were level grinding maniacs, with an average level that was almost two levels higher than the second guild. The advantage was very obvious.
However, on this day that will become a significant event in the second world, the icebound guild headquarters was packed with people. Players who were unable to log in due to being in a branch guild also gathered here. After excluding members who could not log in for reasons, there were still more than three thousand people. Three thousand people crowded in one village, and everyone's faces were filled with excitement, creating an extremely lively atmosphere!
"Let's go!" In the midst of everyone's encirclement, the president of the Icebound Union, Icebound World, gave a loud shout. Those below heard it and were all invigorated, calling out their mounts and riding on them.
After reaching level 30, players can own mounts. Mounts can be purchased from the mount training officer in the city, or hatched from corresponding mount eggs dropped by monsters in the wild. Level 1 mounts increase a player's movement speed by 70%-120%, depending on the rarity of the mount. Based on the type of feed fed to the mount, the time spent riding it, and its loyalty, mounts can also upgrade. All mounts can upgrade up to 5 times, with each upgrade increasing movement speed by 10%.
As the first group of players to have mounts, the mounts of players in the frozen trade union are generally level 3 to level 4, and the movement speed is increased by at least 100. Otherwise, according to the location of the frozen trade union guild, it will take eight hours to get to the ice wind canyon alone without mounts. However, it takes less than four hours to get on the mount to reach the ice wind canyon, and then all the way through the ice wind canyon to enter the Millennium ice lake, which is about 3 pm.
A group of three thousand people, riding on various mounts, rushed towards the Ice Wind Gorge. Many people even opened all their equipment effects, and the colorful equipment radiated light in all directions, creating a very impressive scene.
About four hours later, the Icebound Union arrived at the entrance of the Icewind Gorge as planned. The journalist who had been following the team also started his live thread on the forum.
Officially certified journalists, after applying in advance, can live stream or post a video of an event without leaving the game. It is a very special profession. At this moment, the journalist who knows everything after simply doing a text live stream to the side, asks Icebound World Leader: "Icebound Guild Leader, how much confidence do you have for this challenge against the Frost Dragon?"
Icebound World sat on a five-colored lion, wearing heavy armor and warrior attire. Hearing the question from the all-knowing one, he smiled and said, "About 70%, but no union has ever defeated the super boss. If there are other big skills, failure is not surprising."
Icebound World appears confident, but in the face of Omniscience, they dare not say anything for sure. For today's action, they spent a month preparing, during which no large-scale boss killing activities were carried out, and they also spent a huge amount of money to purchase various necessary items.
At the entrance of Icewind Gorge, a team of 1500 people with lower levels stayed behind to prevent other guilds from taking advantage. The monsters inside the gorge have higher levels, and if they are not careful, they will be sent back by the newly spawned monsters, which would be a waste.
The remaining more than 1,500 members of the guild dismounted and walked into the Icewind Gorge, clearing their way all the way.

Leading such a large group of troops forward is very difficult if only using six-person teams and one guild channel. Therefore, the system has a specially prepared command and team battle system for group battles.
Under the team battle system, there is a commander and several squad leaders. A squad leader can form a group of 10 to 100 members, and unlike normal group formation, there will be no experience bonus when fighting monsters in a team battle group. After the squad leader forms the group, they can be added to the same team by the commander, who can see all the names of the squad members and can adjust the members between different teams at any time according to the situation.
The leader of the Frozen Union is not the one who freezes the world, but a female wizard named Floating. Floating has had several contacts with the Frozen Union during boss battles, and due to her outstanding leadership abilities, she was recruited by the union when it formed its guild and became a core member. Floating did not disappoint either, serving as the leader for dozens of times in the past year and successfully completing most tasks. The last time the Frozen Union challenged the Frost Dragon was organized by her, and she has second only to the president, Ice King, in popularity within the union.
Under the command of Flur, the team was advancing orderly. Despite this, because there were too many people and the line was stretched out, many still died under the monsters' attacks. Fortunately, there were enough priests from the Icebound Guild to pull them up as soon as they fell, causing no casualties. However, the more they advanced, the more medicine was consumed.
About two hours later, the Icebound Union finally arrived at the end of the Icewind Gorge. Further inside was the Thousand-Year Ice Lake.
"Let me reiterate the general steps. After entering the millennium ice lake, the hatred chain of more than two hundred frozen little tyrannosaurs will be triggered instantly. The meat shield knight team should quickly form a human wall after entering the millennium ice lake, pulling one nearby little tyrannosaur each, and never pull too many, as the priest cannot recover in time. Once the human wall is broken, we will be wiped out before we can even touch the frost dragon!
The priest team and the wizard team followed closely behind. Each priest recognized their recovery targets, and the free priests should pay attention to where there is danger and help with recovery as soon as possible.
The three wizards attacked the small tyrannosaurus that was rushing over from a distance. They tried to kill them as much as possible before they reached the knight. The warriors and assassins immediately helped clear the small tyrannosaurus around the knight, but be careful of the hatred. The archers used the shock arrow to repel the small tyrannosaurus that the wizard missed and tried to approach. Below, everyone will enhance their state in two minutes and enter the Thousand Year Ice Lake!"
The crisp and clear voice of drifting leaves sounded in the team battle command channel. Everyone was familiar with the process, and after hearing the order, all professions began to enhance their status.
"Knights begin to enter!" A command from Piaoling, and more than two hundred knights who had been waiting for orders rushed in one after another. Following them, various professions also entered the Thousand-Year Ice Lake.
In the thousand-year-old ice lake, the frosty little tyrannosaurus that has been constantly patrolling suddenly saw so many people rushing in, and it was like a beehive being stirred up. In an instant, all of them turned their heads and ran towards the entrance of the thousand-year-old ice lake at a speed that was astonishingly fast!
"Knights, be careful to disperse and pull monsters. The priest team is ready for recovery. Each mage team should immediately assign targets to distant monsters!" Piaoling's slightly tense voice rang out in the channel. The frosty little fire-breathing dragon was three meters tall, with over two hundred of them charging towards a single direction with ferocity, creating an incredibly awe-inspiring scene!
As a commander who has witnessed the power of this group of little tyrants, Piaoling knows that if something goes wrong, the thousand elites of the Icebound Guild will be wiped out in an instant by such a group of level 55 little tyrants. The hundreds of backups left at the entrance are useless and cannot even resurrect dead players!
In fact, it was not necessary for Piaoling to give instructions. As soon as everyone saw the fierce team charge of the Ice and Frost Little Tyrant, they had already started their preparations. Those who pulled monsters did so, while those who attacked did so. For a moment, various skills filled the sky around the entrance of the Thousand Year Ice Lake, creating an exciting scene. The journalist, who knew everything, was busy recording on the sidelines.
Among this group of players, many people had already experienced it once before. However, at this moment, facing almost the same scene, their palms were still sweating!
The Ice Dragon has 30,000 HP, with a decent defense and incredibly high attack. It can directly drop 2,000+ HP on a 40-level meat shield knight, and other non-physical classes will be instantly wiped out if they have less blood! Floating knows this very well, knowing that even if a small dragon breaks through the defense line, it will cause great chaos to the rear output and priest classes, and if not careful, the entire team could be wiped out!
Sitting on his mount, Piaoling watched the situation from a high vantage point with tension. He noticed that the situation was always under control, and finally his heart calmed down. Apart from the deaths of about thirty to forty warriors and assassins, as well as several knights who were killed by the little dragon due to control errors caused by hatred, there were no other casualties.
"Well done, the first step was completed well! The priest revives the dead players and then takes a three-minute break to recover!" Seeing that everyone had safely passed the first hurdle, Floating Leaf encouraged morale in the channel.
Three minutes later, Piaoling glanced at the ice dragon that was motionless on the ice lake in the distance and commanded the team to move forward.
