It's heart-wrenching. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The huge wall tiles can be seen clearly even from a distance, and the huge, square, flat stone blocks are really used to move to such a height.

Arthas has seen countless magnificent structures - the bridge of Sadol, Zuaman, and, of course, the Icecrown fortress that the Frostmourn had driven the legions of the undead to build in Northrend.

But Arthas had never seen such spectacular human architecture - among the many races in the world of Azeroth, humans have always been known for their architectural talents, but the Wall of Greymane in front of Arthas completely broke this pattern.

The 30-meter-high wall itself is already extraordinarily majestic, and the huge city gate that is nearly 15 meters high and occupies the wall-like shape is enough to make humans feel small.

The huge gate panels were covered with raised steel spikes and steel balls, and Arthas suspected that the Kingdom of Gilneth must have crossed the border to secretly cut down the centuries-old silver pines in the silver pine forests belonging to the kingdom of Lordaeron when they built the walls.

"You humans...... Do you always like to make things so big? ”

It took a few moments before Sylvanas told her true thoughts.

"We don't always think that only dwarves would build buildings that high...... Who knows what this group of Gilneys people are thinking. ”

Arthas replied with a wry smile.

"Are we really going to attack such a wall? Without the words of Her Excellency the Queen...... Oh yes, and Lady Frost. ”

Frightened by the tall building, Winlessa first expressed her concern. It wasn't until she saw the disdainful look on Frost Sorrow's face that little Winlessa suddenly realized that the walls of Zuaman were also very tall, but the gates were too fragile in front of Frost Sorrow.

Arthas smiled wryly - Winlessa didn't know that her father had given a ban on Frost Sorrow in this war.

Of course, it depended - Arthas knew that his father had never been here, and he was sure that when King Terenus saw the magnificent structure, he would not stick to his old ideas.

Of all the people, Aurelia was the only one who quickly regained her composure after the initial surprise, took a telescope from her quiver, hid behind a pine tree, and began to observe the situation on the city wall.

"There are a lot of turrets on the walls...... Damn, there are already such high walls, why build an arrow tower? ”

Sylvanas walked over to her sister's side, rudely observed the Wall of Greymane, and cursed in a low voice - Sylvanas was not used to being in Quel'Salas for a long time, and in the face of these Gilneys almost wasting construction resources.

"Not only on the top of the city, but also on the wall there are many gaps that can accommodate soldiers, and it is unlikely that you can climb up along the wall unconsciously...... It seems that the only weakness of this wall is in its gates. ”

Aurelia said as she turned the telescope in her hand; And the sensible Wen Leisa took out her reconnaissance notes from her sister's quiver and recorded them carefully.

Arthas seemed to have nothing to do, so he began to wander around the neighborhood with Frost Sorrow, sometimes looking at the Wall of Greymane, sometimes at the nearby pine forest, like a complete tourist.

"Hey, you guy, we're working hard for your family now, why are you so leisurely?"

Sylvanas was quick to express her displeasure.

"Oh, okay...... But I don't have much to do! ”

Arthas said innocently, spreading his hands.

"Damn ......"

Sylvanas choked on Arthas's words—she really couldn't think of anything Arthas could do.

"Arthas, write notes for me!"

Winlessa rushed to Arthas's side and handed the charcoal in his hand along with the scouting notes - little Winlessa didn't want to see Sylvanas's sister quarrel with Arthas, so she used her own methods to resolve the crisis.

"Wen Lessa, well done!"

Sylvanas looked at Arthas's helpless face when he took the charcoal and notes, and was very happy in his heart, and gave a thumbs up to his little sister, praising the sensible Winlessa.

"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.

"Yes...... I also helped when Ms. Aurelia was scouting. ”

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? ”

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. ”

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. ”

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? ”

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. ”

"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. ”

Arthas understood his father's thoughts, but said matter-of-factly.

"Is it difficult? Didn't you say...... Can your little fiancée help? ”

King Terenus looked at Arthas, a little listless
