Chapter 142: Gilneth
The undead who have regained their free will claim to be the Forsaken to the outside world, they are not strong in the Black Gate for 25 years, and the Banshee King must suppress the Dreaddemon King internally, beware of the unpredictable Great Apothecary, and externally defend against the nearby Scarlet Crusaders.
The Banshee King's joining the Horde with the Forsaken was a second, at least for the time being, but it was only a diplomatic victory, and it was still a mess both domestically and militarily.
It's not a hard choice to wipe out the Scarlet Crusaders who are close at hand and have a deep hatred for the undead, or to cross an entire forest of silver pines to deal with werewolves and kobolds.
"Have our men been sent out," Vanessa asked Nandus, the wolf king.
The other party regained his human form, and at this time it was a middle-aged human warrior with a full beard.
"As you instructed, they will follow the trail to the Lordaeron military organization to discuss the exchange of civilians for weapons." The wolf king was very respectful, and although he didn't think it would be useful to return with some rather cumbersome civilians, he still strictly obeyed the order and sent his more than thirty werewolves to the north under the cover of battle.
"Okay, you pay attention to this matter, and come to me to report when there is a new situation."
Is Sylvanas pitifulGianna thinks the former Ranger General is pitiful, she has always been sympathetic to Sylvanas's plight, Vanessa is okay with this, she only knows that she and the undead are not all the same.
If peace is sought through struggle, peace will exist, and there can be no peace at all without showing strength.
His side was so busy hitting the back of the head that he really didn't have time to go north, so he could only use the forces of the Scarlet Crusaders and Silver Dawn to suppress the undead, and provide them with weapons in exchange for the civilians of Lordaeron who were accepted by them, which was a win-win deal in Vanessa's eyes.
She needs a large number of civilians to carry out the large-scale development of the south, and these military organizations lack logistics materials, the foundation of cooperation between the two sides is fully in place, and the werewolves sent out can return to human form, as long as the upper echelons of the resistance are contacted, the deal should be a matter of course.
"Let's go, collect the troops!" She turned and left the battlefield.
Following in her footsteps, a large number of werewolves retreated like wild beasts to the Castle of Shadowfang in the south.
The battle between the two sides for the Silver Pine Forest was only a small episode, the werewolves all retreated to the south, and the Forsaken also shrank their own radius of activity, and the two sides tacitly drew their spheres of influence and withdrew their respective troops.
"Madam, the Shadowfang Castle side will be handed over to you, Nandus can be trusted, if someone from the north comes, tell them that we want children, women, and old people, and we will negotiate in your name for the time being. If there's an emergency, contact me with the Communication Crystal. ”
"I'll hold this place as you wish." The Darksden and the Wolf King Nandus bowed together, and Vanessa left Shadowfang Castle alone that night, transforming herself into a falcon and flying over the moat-like walls of Greymane towards Gilneth in the south.
......
Gilneth, Keel Harbor.
This is the largest port city in Gilneys, which was originally under the direct jurisdiction of the kingdom, but due to the isolationist state policy pursued by the king after the end of the Second Orc War, he completely abandoned the northern part of the high lord Darius. In order to appease the high lord, the king handed over the port city to the Crowley family five years ago, that is, in the 20th year of the Black Gate.
This move will not smooth out the contradictions between the two sides, because the land abandoned north of the Greymane Wall is almost all the fiefdom of the Crowley family, and now it is all abandoned at once, which is not a contradiction that can be resolved with a little monetary income.
For the Great Lord Darius. For Crolley, this matter is very unfair, the king's direct land is almost not lost, and his loss is too great, the land that the family has worked hard for several generations has been abandoned, his vassals have been lost in half, and a large number of subjects have been abandoned, he has the title of Gilneth Tiger General, and his own personality is extremely radical, even if he was once a friend of life and death with the king, at this time he was dissatisfied with the king's policy of closing the country to the extreme.
Friendship is also not immune to the double whammy of ideals and reality, Darius. Crowley is now the biggest opposition in the country, and a few small villages and towns in a port city cannot extinguish the anger in his heart.
He is gathering forces in the shadows to plan to overthrow the cowardly Jean in his heart. King Greymane.
The wrath of the Great Lord could not be understood by the people, but they retreated to the Gilneth Peninsula, from the relatively wealthy middle class to the poor, and everything had to start over, which is difficult to describe in words.
Dalius. The southward migration of civilians in the territory of Crowley has exacerbated the consumption of materials on the peninsula, which has virtually aroused the hostility of the aborigines of the Gilneth Peninsula, and the official has not effectively channeled it, which makes these people who moved from the silver pine forest in the north live in the peninsula unhappily.
The king of Gilneth was like many kings and big men in Azeroth, and he thought that it was enough to pacify the big lords, and that the perception of the common people was insignificant, and the ruling class thought that the common people would slowly get used to it.
James. Harrington is uncomfortable right now.
He was not a commoner, he was still a minor nobleman in the strict sense of the word, and he was originally a subordinate of Darius. Admiral of Crowley.
In the first few years, they were able to follow the undercurrents outside the peninsula and avoid the reefs to do some trade in the surrounding countries, but after the 20th year of the Black Gate Horretic Scourge broke out completely, the king increased the blockade, and his trading fleet was completely disabled.
The Crowley family could not meet the needs of all their subjects, and it was true that Dragonbone Harbor was a port, but after all, it was a port for the people of the Gilneth Peninsula, and as an outsider from the Silver Pine Forest, he could not find a job here.
In order to support his family, he had to do some hard work for others, and his abundant knowledge of navigation would not bring him bread, but would leave him isolated by the laborers.
"If only I could fly, hehe....." He saw a falcon flying in the sky, and intuitively felt that the other party seemed to look at him, but how could this be a self-deprecating smile, and he staggered home.
After a hard day's work, he brought back only two loaves of bread and a small piece of cured meat that had been sitting for an unknown amount of time.
He hobbled to put food in the kitchen, his wife had gone out to help with the laundry, and only the two children were at home.
"Go, go! Let's go eat! Touching the heads of the two children, he was full of pain, and at a certain moment it seemed that there was infinite killing intent in his mind, he couldn't imagine that he would have killing intent towards his own children, but fortunately, he relied on great perseverance to suppress the impulse and lock himself in the room like running for his life.
