For the sake of the bigger picture, Arthas is not going to cause a massacre in the kingdom of Gilneth - although he does not hesitate to do so in times of crisis. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But at the same time, Arthas will not miss every opportunity to weaken the kingdom/army of Gilneth - he will not give these soldiers of the kingdom of Gilneth a chance to escape and become prisoners of war, their only fate
"Lay down your arms and surrender!"
"Lay down your arms and become a captive!"
……
The Lordaeron Royal Guard surrounded those Gilneth Kingdom soldiers from all sides, enclosing them in a relatively loose encirclement while commanding loudly.
Most of the Gilneth Kingdom army had already thrown away their weapons, and they were powerless in the face of the iron hooves and blades of the cavalry.
However, even so, these soldiers of the Kingdom of Gilneth were silent, and despite the fear of death, no one wanted to be the first to bend their knees.
"Lay down your arms. We lost. ”
Tormont hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to throw his one-handed sword to the ground, and said to the guards around him—I don't know what this royal family member meant, whether he was referring to tonight's battle or the whole war.
The sounds of "clanging" and "clanging" came and went, and the soldiers of the Kingdom of Gilneth chose to compromise under the leadership of someone taking the lead, and Tormon, who had the closest ties to the royal family and had the highest rank.
"I need to see King Terenus, I'm the commander here, Tormon Greymane."
Tormont squeezed through the crowd and walked to the front of the defeated army, shouting at the royal guards of Lordaeron in front of him.
It was a long time before several of the royal guards of Lordaeron rode a few steps from the cavalry group, looking down at Tormont Greymane with cold eyes on their tall horses.
"What should I do?"
One of the knights asked his companion.
"This guy is the royal family of Gilneys, and he is probably also a nobleman...... Well, search him, don't leave a piece of iron, and take him to the king. ”
A slightly older Lordaeron royal guard said that Kante was not there, so it was up to a few of their squad leaders to make a decision.
……
The rules of war between human kingdoms are peculiar, and there is always preferential treatment for nobles - as long as the nobleman does not die, the safety and dignity of the nobles can always be properly guaranteed until his family completely refuses to use the ransom to help him get rid of his captivity.
Tormont was no exception - although his men were all tied in ropes after surrendering, no one tied him up until he met His Majesty King Terenus.
In his tent, His Majesty King Terenus received the captured supreme commander of the enemy army.
"Your name is Greymane? Who are you Jean? Son? ”
King Terenus, dressed a little more formally, sat on the edge of the marching bed, and looked with interest at the captive in front of him, who was considered a young man.
"No, nephew, distant."
Tormont replied.
"So...... What do you have to say to me, boy of the Greymans? Don't say anything if your words aren't very important, I still need to rest. ”
King Terenus realized that the other party was not the son of Jean Greymane, and immediately lost interest, and said a little listlessly.
Arthas pursed his lips on the side—it seemed that his father was bent on comparing himself to Gene Greyman's son! But that day should not be far off, no more than a month at most, and the kingdom of Gilneth will cease to exist; In the meantime, I'm sure I'll be able to meet those princes here.
"That's right, Your Majesty King Terenus. On behalf of His Majesty King Jean, I would like to ask if Lordaeron is declaring war on Gilneis. ”
Tormon ignored King Terenus's contempt for him, and instead asked aloud.
"A declaration of war? Is there any doubt about this? If we weren't at war, why would you be in my tent? Youngster! ”
A mocking smile appeared on King Terenus's lips - he thought that the young man in front of him had some real insight, but he didn't expect that he was just complaining.
"But Gilneth has no intention of declaring war on Lordaeron, so why would you invade our country without permission?"
Tormon knew that he was completely worthless in the eyes of the other party, but he still barely held his waist up, showing the momentum of a young man.
"I suppose you started the war first, right? The Silver Pine Forest is Lordaeron's territory, and you have attacked my camp with tens of thousands of men, and you have to ask me why I declared war? ”
"Besides, young man, leave these words to your uncle to tell me personally, Jean and I haven't seen each other for six years, and he doesn't want to come to us old friends, so naturally we'll come here to find him!"
King Terenus made a humorous joke, then waved his hand and motioned for the guards to take Tormont away.
"To be honest, I was a little disappointed...... Such a reckless guy can also be entrusted with a heavy responsibility? ”
King Terenus couldn't help but complain to his son after Tormon left.
"In fact...... It doesn't make a difference. ”
Arthas smiled and shook his head—even if Tormont were a calm and experienced commander who didn't sneak out of the city and didn't move, he wouldn't be able to hold the wall of Greymanne - the power of Frostmourn hadn't been shown yet.
"Really?"
King Terenus glanced thoughtfully at Frost's Grief, who was standing behind his son, in a daze for what was going on, and thought of some of the past, and felt that it was true.
"Go rest, Arthas, Jean's men won't be moving, let's stay here for a while, and wait for Solas and them to get here!"
Seeing that nothing was going on, King Terenus urged Arthas to leave.
"Okay."
Arthas nodded, and left his father's tent with Frost Grief, only to run into the three Windranger sisters head-on.
"Sister Aurelia, Sister Sylvanas...... I'm never going to do this kind of lookout work again! ”
Wen Lesa walked between her two sisters and said with some huff.
"Why?"
Aurelia asked, confused.
"Because I was so bored, I always wanted to find some officers to shoot, but the cavalry always snatched the target first...... I'm in the pine tree, and I can't do anything, I'm! ”
Winresa grumbled as she kicked the ground in front of her with her little boots, then looked up just in time to see Arthas and Frostmourn walking towards her.
