From the depths of the Lun Kingdom/military camp came from behind, followed by thunderous horses' hooves, echoing the slight vibration of the earth. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Cavalry?"

Tormont was shocked - at its core, the Kingdom of Gilneth was a seaside country, similar to the Kingdom of Kurtilas, where there weren't many horses.

Tormont had never heard the sound of thousands of horses galloping, but on the battlefield, once such a number of cavalry charged, would not give a young commander like him even the slightest time to react.

Countless heavy cavalry in silver-white armor whizzed through the burning tents, their two-handed swords and sharp spears glistening in the light of the twin moons.

"For Lordaeron!"

The burly knights shouted and threw their weapons into the throats of the enemy—already this afternoon, the camp of the kingdom/army of Lordaeron had been leveled enough for the cavalry to gallop back and forth. 、

Not so long ago, those mages had been riding in a horse-drawn carriage, and now, their bones were still cold, and their allies had tasted trampled by horses' hooves.

The one-man tall horses were well-trained, and they skilfully avoided the somewhat sluggish counterattacks of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Gilneys, and continued to assault the front with the knights on their backs.

Only the unluckiest of the royal guards of Lordaeron would fall off their horses for some insignificant reason, surrounded by the delicate kingdom/army of Gilneis; More Royal Guards of Lordaeron wielded their weapons and harvested the helpless souls in front of them.

Infantry and cavalry, completely unable to fight on such terrain, not to mention, the kingdom of Gilneth / army is still at a disadvantage in numbers.

"Don't run! Counterattack! Counterattack! ”

Tormont and his guards shouted loudly in a vain attempt to stop the retreat of the kingdom/army of Gilneis; Under the sharp blades of the guards, it is true that most of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Gilneth chose to turn back to face their enemies after hesitation.

It has to be said that Jean Greymane has a lot of prestige among the people of Gilney, and these soldiers are not cowards like rats, and they will not be easily defeated.

However, the enemies they face are too powerful - the Lordaeron Royal Guard has defeated the invincible orc army and the troll empire in the past few years, and they are the most threatening army in the human kingdom in terms of military literacy and self-confidence.

The counterattack of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Gilneth did not save the defeat of the raid, but only sent more blood and death in vain.

The cavalry of the Royal Guard of Lordaeron slowed down, the blood-soaked ground began to make the horses' hooves slip, and the horses could no longer gallop freely in the camp laden with corpses.

But even with the reduced speed, the mighty knights on horseback still tread the invisible rhythm of the drums, cooperating with each other, skillfully sending the enemy in front of them into the abyss of death—at this moment, the meaning of their existence is to kill, to kill for the royal family of Minethir.

"It seems that Lord Kanter can already deal with these enemies."

Arthas glanced out from the door of his father's tent, then lowered the curtain and spoke to King Terenus, who was half-leaning on his marching bed, with his coat draped.

- How sad it would be if the soldiers of the Kingdom of Gilneth knew that they had not even been able to storm within two hundred meters of King Terenus's tent in this battle.

"What's next, what are you going to do? Attack all the way and take Jean's palace? ”

King Terenus knew of course what the fainter shouts of killing outside the tent meant, and he had already moved past the battle tonight to look further into the future.

"At first, I planned to follow these failed kingdoms/armies of Gilneth to take the opportunity to take down the Wall of Greymane, but then ......"

Arthas stood at the door of the tent, looking at his father, and his tone paused; Seeing the smiling expression on the old king's face, Arthas shook his head helplessly—he knew that his father had already seen through what he had sold, so he had to continue.

"But then I gave up on this idea, and now we don't have enough people to take down the entire Kingdom of Gilneth. I'm going to wait a little longer, King Daelin's fleet should be on the voyage, and with the latest information, King Solas's army has set foot on the Hillsbrad Hills. When they arrive, let's move on. ”

Alsace said.

"Aren't you worried that this will delay the warplane?"

King Terenus asked with a smile.

"Of course not, and ...... This is our best choice. ”

Arthas replied with a smile similar to that of his father.

……

"Master, what were you talking about?"

Leaving King Terenus's camp, Frostmourn couldn't help but wonder in her heart and asked Arthas.

As for the little magic sword, she only knew that her master and her master's father had just shown a strange smile in her eyes in the camp, but she didn't know what made people so happy.

"You won't like it, Frost."

Arthas shook his head, not giving Frost Grief an explanation.

In tonight's battle, although Arthas had given up on taking the Wall of Greymane further, they were completely at a disadvantage due to the recklessness of the commanders of the Kingdom of Gilney.

After King Terenus had relinquished command of his army to a great extent, Arthas was in no hurry to take over the already weakened kingdom of Gilneth.

Ever since he had spoken to his father that dinner, Alsace had been thinking about it, and it had indeed been rewarding.

Perhaps Frostmourn and the Red Dragon Queen will be able to help you take the kingdom of Gilneth quickly, but if you want to take it completely...... It's not an overnight job.

And Frost Sorrow and the Red Dragon Queen won't be of much help in this regard - they can't kill all the troll natives like they did in the Wraith Lands, right?

Even if the Lordaeron Royal Guard had suffered small losses in tonight's battle, their total number was there—it was impossible for Arthas to rely on more than 20,000 men to occupy the entire kingdom of Gilneys.

He could take every inch of land he saw, but who would guard it?

Killing the lord of a land does not mean that you have taken it, and it is only when you can collect taxes from the peasants and petty traders of the land that the war is over.

Arthas decided to wait - he intended to wait until the rest of the alliance arrived in the Silver Pines Forest before launching an attack on the kingdom of Gilneis.

At that time, the coalition forces will have enough troops to ensure that when they advance into the royal city of Gilneth, there will be no chaos behind them, and their supply convoys will not be burning on the roads in broad daylight.

Of course, Arthas had another choice - in addition to the most elite Lordaeron Royal Guard, his father also had a number of militias stationed throughout the kingdom of Lordaeron.

If these militias were to be transferred to the Silver Pines Forest, they would be able to take on the task of garrisoning the newly occupied territory.

However, Alsace does not intend to do so, mainly on two grounds.

First, the armies of the Kingdom of Stormgard are passing through the Hillsbrad Hills, and the army from Stormwind will also land in Southsea Town, borrowing here.

It is true that both Stormwind and the Kingdom of Stormgard are the most loyal allies of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, the former receiving selfless and generous assistance from the Minahir family, and the latter, although initially in conflict with the Kingdom of Lordaeron, has become more closely connected over the years.

But Arthas had to make some necessary preparations - as Arthas could also unconditionally believe in the friendship of Varian Ureon and Danas Thorbain, but as Prince Alsace Minehir, the future king of the kingdom of Lordaeron, he would not and could not trust anyone unreservedly except Frost Sorrow.
