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 in this regard, Frostmourn and the Red Dragon Queen can't help much—they can't kill all the troll natives like they did in the Wraith Lands, right?

Even if the Lordaeron Royal Guard suffered small losses in tonight's battle, their total number was there—there was no way that Arthas could rely on more than 20,000 men to occupy the entire kingdom of Gilneis.

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 planned to wait until the rest of the alliance arrived in the Silverpine 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 option - in addition to the most elite of the Royal Guards of Lordaeron, 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 Minethil family, and the latter although initially in conflict with the Kingdom of Lordaeron. But it has also become more connected over the years.

But Arthas had to make some necessary preparations - as Arthas could also unconditionally believe in the friendship between Varian Urion and Dana Stolbain, but as Prince Minehir of Alsace, the future king of the kingdom of Lordaeron, except for the sorrow of Frost. He does not and cannot trust anyone unreservedly.

There must be enough militia in the vicinity of the Hills Bled Hills and the royal city of Lordaeron,

to make sure that in the event of an accident, the Royal Guards of Lordaeron, who had already driven to the Silverpine Forest, would not be too late to return.

Second...... As with the first point, Arthas believed that most of the lords and nobles of the kingdom of Lordaeron were loyal to their family. But it's hard to keep some ill-intentioned people like Adras Pernord.

Therefore, Arthas will not transfer those militias, leaving the interior of the Lordaeron Kingdom empty, giving these guys a chance.

Therefore, instead of rushing, it is better to loosen the noose in his hand first, and let Jean Greymane survive for a while.

Wait until the news of the defeat reaches King Gilneth tonight, which Arthas believes will not be able to hide; He wanted to see what tricks Jean Greymane, an old fox known for his cunning, could play under such unfavorable conditions.

……

Tormont didn't know what tricks his distant uncle, Jean Greymayne, could play. But he knew very well that he was finished.

In the face of the ferocious onslaught of the Royal Guards of Lordaeron, even loyalty to the Greymane family and the coercion of Tormont and his guards could not bring the feared soldiers back to the battlefield.

The retreat swept through the armies of the kingdom of Gilneth like a tidal current, and the soldiers dropped their weapons and passed by Tormont and his guards, fleeing backwards in panic like outlaw boars.

"Go back! Get back to the fight! ”

Tormont waved his weapon in vain until his guards dragged him along with him to join the fleeing army—loyalty was one thing, martyrdom another; Even Tormon's personal guards. I don't want to die here with him either.

Instinctively running away at his feet, Tormont's face was dead to ashes; He kept muttering "what if", and even though he was still running, he didn't think he could escape back to the wall of Greymane.

Even if he's the commander here. Nor could he have the soldiers who remained in the fortress open the gates while he was outside the city—especially with a large number of pursuers behind him—and Tormont was too junior to have enough time or talent to establish such prestige.

Moreover, even if those soldiers were not very good at using their brains and were willing to open the gates for Tormont, there was no way for him to run back to the wall of Greymane.

Arthas and Kante had no intention of following the deserters and waiting for an opportunity to attack the Wall of Greymane. So the royal guards of Lordaeron were ordered to completely defeat these kingdoms/armies of Gilneys.

The two-legged infantry naturally couldn't outrun the four-legged horses, and the cavalry of the Lordaeron Kingdom were tightly behind the deserters of the Kingdom of Gilneys, and on the other hand, they divided into two groups of cavalry, and quickly circled the sides of the King of Gilneys from the flanks.

Tormon was rushing forward like a headless fly when he suddenly bumped into another Gilneth Kingdom soldier in front of him.

Only then did the front-line commander realize that his troops had stopped fleeing.

Are these kingdoms/armies of Gilneth planning to rise up against them?

- Of course not, they don't have the guts yet, otherwise they wouldn't have run away in the first place.

The road that had been flat and wide on the way of the kingdom/army of Gilneth was now blocked—a dozen thick pine tree trunks lay there, and behind the trunks, a large number of heavily armed and silver-clad royal guards of Lordaeron had established an impenetrable defensive line.

Kanter, the commander of the Lordaeron Royal Guard, had already made arrangements - this afternoon, a group of Lordaeron Royal Guards quietly left the barracks and lurked in the interior of the Silver Pines Forest.

In the middle of the night, when the shouts of slaughter erupted, the royal guards of Lordaeron circled to the rear of King Gilneis's team, knocking down the pine trees that had been nearly sawn off, and blocking their way back. (To be continued.) )
