The Last Line Of Defense
A World of Warcraft quest in Icecrown. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
If you can't fly in Northrend yet, you can kill yourself near one of the towers and fly on it with the spirit mount.
The Reckoning Bomb ability on the cannon is a reference to the old school reckoning talent, where Paladins would get 1 extra swing on their next swing every time they were crit. This would stack infinitely, and unleashing piles of extra swings all at once was called a Reckoning Bomb. Paladins could and were 1 shotting raid bosses with this exploit.

I've triggered the base's defenses, {class}! Atop each of the Vanguard's four towers is a retractable Argent Crusade cannon, blessed by Father Gustav himself. You'll need to fly up to one of those towers and man a cannon. Use it to destroy the Scourge onslaught that the Lich King has deployed. Just one warning, the Scourge will undoubtedly send their frost wyrms to lay siege to the towers. Shoot them out of the sky! If they destroy the walls and towers of this base, we're done for!
