Fifty paladins were already incomparably stronger, far superior to ordinary soldiers. With almost no effort, the walking corpses that fell into the courtyard were eliminated.

It turned out that there was too much accumulation of undead outside the wall, and a slope was formed with physical bodies, and the walking corpses behind them went one after another, stepping on the bodies of "compatriots" and climbing the high wall.

The royal guards rushed to the high wall to support, mobilized artillery, and blasted away the walking corpses piled up outside the wall, and the thrilling episode came to an end.

Oryx noticed.

These soldiers were very advanced, with a large number of firearms, almost one musket in their hands, and a large number of artillery pieces erected on the high walls, and they were constantly firing and bombarding the tide of corpses that were besieging them.

It seems that the rumors are true.

More than ten years ago, Jean Greyman, impressed by the development of dwarf and dwarf technology, spent a lot of money to modernize the kingdom's regular army.

At one time, no one knew what the state of the regular army of Gilneth was, but now it can be said to be advanced enough, at least ahead of the kingdom of Lordaeron.

For no other reason.

The second war allowed the various ethnic groups in the eastern continent to communicate with each other, learn from each other's strengths to make up for their own shortcomings, and the level of science and technology ushered in great development. Although the speed of development is not as fast as that of the period after the Third World War, when the military force had to be developed in a reckless manner in order to resist the ensuing catastrophe, it is still more precious than the previous peacetime.

During what should have been a period of rapid growth, Lordaeron invested a lot of money in the operation and maintenance of the orc shelter, resulting in a high level of debt, and even the regular army's equipment was not updated as it should be.

And the Kingdom of Gilneys, which had not contributed to the fight against the orcs, withdrew from the alliance after the war, and refused to bear the cost of running the shelter, invested the money saved into armaments, so it is no wonder why the Gilneth soldiers are better equipped.

"Thank you for your help, I am the prince of the Kingdom of Gilney, Liam Greymane." The young man with extraordinary bearing walked up to Oryx and introduced himself very decently.

He was of medium build, dressed in a relatively lightweight, thin move, and wore a Gilnes shirt over it. Handsome in appearance, he looks to be twenty-three or fourteen years old, about the same age as Alsace.

Oryx shook his hand, "Greetings, Prince Liam. I am Oryx Rivendell, by order of King Lordaeron, and I have come to help your nation in any way I can. ”

"Great!"

Prince Liam said this, but there was still a trace of complicated emotions in his eyes, as if he did not expect that Lordaeron, who had always been at odds with his country, would respond to Gilneth's request for help so quickly.

The prince and Oryx glanced at each other, and when he saw that he could read his own eyes, he smiled and shook his head, with a hint that everything was in plain sight, "Lord Saint, I have always admired the great name for a long time. It's a pleasure to have you here in Gilne......"

As he spoke, the prince looked behind Oryx, only to find that instead of spewing out more reinforcements, the portal was slowly closing, and his eyes widened and he asked with some embarrassment, "What did your Excellency bring...... It's just the first wave of reinforcements, right? ”

Oryx shook his head, "I'm sorry, Your Highness the Prince, in a short period of time, there are only these fifty people. ”

He wanted to explain a few more words, but Prince Liam waved his hand to show his understanding, and said very sincerely: "Lord Saint, although I have to say that this bit of manpower is really difficult to help the overall battle situation. But I understand that in such a special time, no one has spare manpower. I've heard that you've recaptured the Northern Pass and are preparing to contain the tide of corpses in Gilneth – the right thing to do for the entire North. Believe me, I am still grateful to your country for sending such a wise and courageous man to help us. To be honest, I really didn't expect your country's support to come so quickly and so ...... Forgive and forget. ”

The sincerity in his words, without any hypocrisy, made Aurex suddenly have a great affection for this prince.

"Thank you for your understanding," he asked Bridget to lead the paladins to help first, turning his head and asking, "Your Royal Highness, how is Gilneth doing?" ”

Liam sighed, "The situation is worrying, it is basically equivalent to the fall of the whole territory. The Scourge Corps has gained air supremacy, making it difficult for us to detect enemy movements through conventional means. At present, the survivors of the country are basically gathered in various towns and villages, and although they are protected by the local troops, the road between them and the royal city has been cut off. Originally, we planned to evacuate the people in the direction of Twilight Bay Town and escape the danger by waterway, but now there are hundreds of thousands of walking corpses besieging the royal city, and we may not be able to evacuate the civilians in a short period of time......"

Oryx understood.

A type of reef called "Bite Reef" encircles the coastline of the Kingdom of Gilneys, making it difficult for ships to enter and exit, and it is very easy to run into the reef and get in distress. As a result, this coastal country located on the peninsula has not developed a shipping industry for a long time.

Only the most experienced navigators can enter and exit the offshore at will without sacrificing the safety of the vessel.

Twilight Bay Town, located on the southwest coast of the Kingdom of Gilneys, is not as good as a deep-water harbor like Gulf Bay, but it is also a large port town.

Since it is impossible to go by land, it is a good plan to transfer civilians by water.

Oryx kindly reminded, "Your Highness, since the Scourge has the ability to plant the source of the plague throughout your kingdom and trigger it at the same time, it has the ability to burn all the ships that can be used to evacuate civilians. If there are still a large number of boats left in Twilight, then I suggest that it is best to take into account whether this is a trap or not, so as not to cause unnecessary damage. ”

Liam nodded, seeing that the situation at the gate was becoming more and more dangerous, he hurriedly took his leave: "Your Excellency can go and meet my father, he is on the top floor of the observatory, I will quickly go there to command the battle, and your Excellency will come again......"

Looking at Prince Liam, who led a group of royal soldiers to resist the walking corpses and did everything himself, Orix was very emotional.

This prince is really good, at least the first impression is good.

At least when it comes to educating children, the "old wolf" of Gene Greymane is doing a good job.

He looked up at the stargazing platform at the top of the castle, the domed building with a huge astronomical telescope sticking out diagonally from the side.

It's just that at this time, many holes have been carved out of the walls of the observatory, and it is thought that the people inside want to use this commanding height to watch the enemy's situation. On the balcony on the west side, there was also a crane that I didn't know how to get up, and next to it were several artillery pieces that had obviously just been erected not long ago, shooting at the tide of corpses outside the city.

The angle of view is limited, but you can still see the soldiers passing by the guardrail with ammunition.

He also noticed a tall old man leaning on the railing, looking down at him.

This person is dressed in a dark brown robe, with gray hair, extremely sharp eyes, and his appearance is seven or eight points similar to Prince Liam, I am afraid that it is the king of the Kingdom of Gilneis, "Old Wolf" Jean Greymane.

Oryx bowed slightly to the other party, glanced at Bridget and them, and after making sure that there would be no accidents in the battle in the courtyard, he walked to the entrance of the main building of the palace.
