Chapter 228: Please Close Your Eyes If You're Afraid (1/4)
Soon, they entered the village of Burning Wood.
After settling the others, Jiang Zai took Anvina and followed Rhona to the town hall to meet Lord Darius.
The Gilneys are the most elegant of the entire human race.
In this situation, the big lord, who was blind in one eye, was still wearing a noble gown, with a noble sword hanging from his waist, and a single-barreled musket on the table next to him, apparently ready to fight at any time.
"Nicholas? Teen Hero! I heard about your deeds, it's amazing! That bastard of Jean, after building the Wall of Greymane, left us in Gilneth and almost turned us into bastards who abandoned our people! If it weren't for your proposal, we, the Crowley family, would be finished! Leave a stench for 10,000 years! ”
If there is a daughter, there must be a father, and Darius's temper is the same as that of his daughter, full of gunpowder.
"You're welcome, Grand Lord. I wonder, what's going on now? Jiang Zai asked.
"How? I don't know. The Wall of Greymane is kept closed, and my people can't get in. Darius said: "That bastard Jean, I don't know what to think, is he planning to use the power of a country to fight against Arthas and the Scourge Legion?" An example of the High Elves is right in front of you! ”
It is clear that no country can fight against the Scourge alone!
"We've sent out sentries, but it's going to take at least a day to get a response." Rhona added.
Jiang Zai nodded.
It's almost 200 kilometers from the city of Gilneth, and it takes about a day to ride a fast horse. It takes two days to come and go.
"Yesterday Dalaran sent a mage, and another one came a few hours ago, not long ago." Rona snorted and said, "Arthas's goal is Dalaran, that's clear, everyone knows it. It doesn't matter, we're ready to go it alone! Crowley's territory, Crowley himself guards! ”
"Dalaran can't pull out men, but Lordaeron won't leave you alone, so we're here." Jiang Zheng said: "The people I brought will help you defend the Wall of Greymanne. I'll climb over the Wall of Greymane and head to Gilneth to find out. ”
"Just you?" Lorna was a little distrustful, but after looking up and down, she nodded, "Although the legend says that you are very powerful, I think it is better for you to bring the little girl by your side." Does she know teleportation? If you're really encircled, she can take you away. ”
"I ...... Haven't seen that part yet. It's okay, I'll just look at it. "Anvina is a good and diligent student, and she takes every time to read the Mage's textbooks. In fact, she was very interested in spells and thought it was fun.
It's really "fun", she's the embodiment of the Well of the Sun, and the arcane energy is her playmate......
“…… Well, if the rumors are true, or if you have even half the legendary strength, as long as you are careful, nothing will happen. Rhona said, "I'll send someone with you." You don't know Gilneth and need a guide. ”
"No, I have the best guide." Jiang Zai smiled and got up: "Time is money...... No, life, my friend. Without further delay, I'll leave now. ”
"Goblin lines, I don't like them. But you changed it, I like it. Rona also stood up, looked at Jiang Zai and said seriously: "I have another plan: we have prepared a few fishing boats, which will set off from the western coast and go from the sea to the northern shore cape of Gilneth. If you come across fleeing Gilneisians, let them go to Cape North Shore! Tell them that even if Greymane abandons them, Crowley won't abandon them! Be careful, come back alive! ”
"I will." Jiang Zai chuckled, and then asked meaningfully: "The castle in the north, Baron Sivalene and his private soldiers, should also be clearing the undead, right?" ”
"Baron Sivalen? He didn't have many castle guards, but he had a good relationship with us, had been helping us, and yesterday accepted my father's invitation to discuss Gilneth's problems. Why did you suddenly ask about him? Luo Na was puzzled, and always felt that Jiang Zheng had something to say.
"Nothing. You'll have to warn Baron Sivalen to be careful. His castle is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if it is captured by the enemy, it will be a big trouble! Jiang Zai smiled.
Arugao hasn't done anything to Shadowfang Castle yet, maybe history will change, maybe not.
In short, it's good to be vigilant.
Jiang Zai turned to leave.
Burning Wood Village all the way north is the Wall of Greymane.
Coming to the city wall, Jiang Zai looked at the towering city wall that was almost level with the mountains, and was speechless for a while.
This wall is much taller and thicker than the Great Wall. Although it took almost ten years for Gilneth to exert all his efforts, and the total amount of this wall is only about 300 kilometers, and a large part of it is built on top of mountains, and the real height is not high, Jiang Zheng can still be sure:
It is impossible to complete such a construction by manpower, and there must be magic in it.
In order to build it, Gilneth probably transferred all the mages in the kingdom, and even loaned some to Dalaran, right?
Although he had not seen another famous wall, the Wall of Soladin, Jiang Zai was sure that that the wall was not as tall as this one.
Jean's original intention in building this wall was to separate himself from Dalaran, Lordaeron, and Fort Riptide, and he didn't want to be affected by any other countries at all, and he really closed off the country, thinking that Gilneth could solve all the threats on his own.
Then after the outbreak of the undead plague, by the way, you can block the undead from the Silver Pine Forest.
Now, however, it is holding back the helping hand of the Crowley family, as well as the fleeing Gilnesians.
Ten years later, the wolf king is indeed not bad, brave, resourceful and responsible. But now, Jean really is just a proud, cunning and worldly king!
"How are we going to get there?" Looking at the towering city walls, Alan regretted it a little.
I should have gone directly to the coast west of Burning Wood Village and took a boat with Miss Rona and her people. It may be slower, but it's better than not being able to get by.
"I can fly over there!" Anweina's voice was crisp and pleasant, and she was a little annoyed: "The teleportation technique is a bit difficult, I have to study it carefully...... Well, let's learn flashing first, it's relatively simple. If I learned, I would be able to flash straight to the past, and you can wait for me for a while. ”
She is the embodiment of the Well of the Sun, an energy body, and can fly directly to it. It's a pity that she can't freely control the energy in her body yet, otherwise she can directly pass through the city wall.
Of course, she could have gotten into the Orange Bow Solidar, but she liked the body now, she liked the feeling, and she didn't want to be in the Orange Bow.
"Anvina, just fly over." Jiang Zai looked at Allen: "As for you, I'll take you over!" ”
Take me there?
Alan was stunned for a moment, then looked up again at the dizzyingly high city wall, and thought to himself, how did you take me there? How did you get past yourself?
Just thinking about it, he suddenly felt that his body was light, and he had been put on his shoulder by Jiang Zheng.
"If you're scared, close your eyes." A soft whisper came from his ears, and before Alan could react, he found himself starting to move away from the ground!
