"Is this your handwriting?"
In the spacious tent, King Terenus asked Arthas, who was sitting beside him, with a smile in his scouting notebook from Aurelia. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Yes...... I also helped when Ms. Aurelia was scouting. β
Arthas glanced at Winlessa helplessly and said with a wry smile.
"I haven't seen you for so many years...... Jean actually built a monster out on our border? Interesting...... I've heard those people report before, but I haven't taken it seriously, I didn't expect it...... This thing shouldn't be worse than Soladin's Wall, right? β
King Terenus asked, flipped through Aurelia's notes.
"And, of course, much stronger. Moreover, this wall is very well guarded, unlike the wall of Soladin, which has many damages...... If you want to cross here, the only entrance is the city gate. β
Arthas spoke his mind.
"It doesn't seem like this battle is that easy to fight, but ...... It doesn't have to be that hard. β
King Terenus closed Aurelia's note, placed it on the table in front of him, and said with a smile.
"Isn't it that hard? Father, why do you say that? β
Arthas looked at King Terenus with some surprise - wasn't such a defense difficult enough? This is only the first line of defense against the Kingdom of Gilneth!
"Don't understand?"
King Terenus asked, squinting at his son.
"I don't understand."
Arthas nodded calmly in acknowledgement.
"Alsace, you are indeed excellent, in every way...... Both Muradin and Uther say they don't deserve to be your sword teacher, and Alfonso says he has nothing to teach you...... However, governing a country is not as simple as you think. β
"For example, Jean, have you ever thought that with the strength of the Gilneth Kingdom, after building such a defensive line, what will they have left?"
King Terenus explained to his son.
It dawned on Alsace that the kingdom of Gilneth had been closed off from the outside world; Except for some food and some necessary supplies that would be traded with the Kingdom of Lordaeron in small quantities, almost all the people of the Kingdom of Gilneth lived within the walls of Greymane and never went out.
Alsace did not know the extent of the kingdom of Gilneth - the country had too little communication with the outside world; But what Alsace is certain of is that even a wealthy man as Lordaeron wants to build such a line of defense in twenty years' time, enough to make the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Alfonso, gray in his hair.
In the face of the Lordaeron Kingdom, the biggest advantage of the Gilneth Kingdom in this war is that it has never experienced war, and the Lordaeron Kingdom has repelled two strong enemies, orcs and trolls, so both in terms of the fatigue of the soldiers and the support of the national strength for the war, the Lordaeron Kingdom has fallen behind.
But this is a corollary based on a lack of knowledge about the kingdom of Gilneth - and now, King Terenus has changed his mind.
Whether it's Lordaeron or Stormgard, or Stormwind and Kurtilas, the other human nations believe that the kingdom of Gilneth has amassed great power during the decades of isolation.
But will they have enough power to build a line as grand as the "Wall of Greymane"? Even if it is enough, how much strength does the Kingdom of Gilneth have left?
"But...... It's still hard for us to get over that wall. β
Arthas understood his father's thoughts, but said matter-of-factly.
"Is it difficult? Didn't you say...... Can your little fiancΓ©e help? β
King Terenus asked with a smile as he looked at Frost Sorrow, who was sitting next to Arthas, a little listless and fiddling with his fingers.
"Little Frost? But didn't you say ...... Father?"
Arthas didn't expect that the answer he had received from King Terenus would be like this, and he was stunned for a moment - didn't his father say that he would not let Frost Grief interfere in this war at the dinner table before?
"That was then, and now we don't get information about Lady Aurelia? Do you think I'm going to let my soldiers attack such a hedgehog fortress? β
King Terenus glared at his son and said in a natural tone.
"Okay......"
Arthas was defeated - he had underestimated his father's ability to defend himself.
"As I said earlier, Arthas, you still have a lot to learn to be a good king......"
King Terenus laughed and said triumphantly, "Although his son is very good, he must also remember that for a king, shameless...... It's also a valuable ability!
"So...... Father, I'll take Xiaoshuang with me now...... Attacking the 'Wall of Greymane'? β
Regarding his father's old naughty behavior, Arthas had no choice but to ask with a wry smile.
Of course, when it comes to attacking the Wall of Greymane, Arthas is confident - he doesn't need anyone's cooperation, because Frostmourn is already the most powerful presence in the world.
"Tomorrow. Our army has just arrived here, and it will take some time to renovate; And Modra and Gianna still need time to set up a teleportation circle. Forget it today, we're going to give Jean a little time to react...... What if he finally chooses to surrender? β
King Terenus laughed.
"How is this possible...... But since you said so, father, you are not in a hurry for a day or two...... It's just that tonight's defense ......"
Arthas groaned - it is not ruled out that the kingdom/army of Gilneys within the walls of Greymane would take advantage of the night to attack the unstable royal guard of Lordaeron.
"The affairs of the army, you can give orders directly to Kante, I am not familiar with this kind of thing anyway."
King Terenus generously handed over power to Arthas.
The young prince had a black thread - if his father had such an attitude...... So why did he come here to join in the fun? Why not stay in the royal palace of Lordaeron and wait quietly for news of victory from the front, as in the previous war with the Amani Empire?
"Haha, Arthas, you wouldn't understand it if you weren't my age...... What could be more exciting than beating an old opponent you've been right for over two decades? β
King Terenus stood up and clicked on a sketch of Aurelia's notebook - it was a topographical map of the vicinity of the Wall of Greymane, and behind the wall, it was completely blank.
