771 Victory and defeat
"Hoo ......"
Aurelia breathed a sigh of relief—she had finally lived up to the expectations of the kings of Arthas and Terenus; But only after that, the High Elf Ranger leader remembered...... Even if he and Sylvanas fail, isn't there still frost sorrow?
Aurelia was right—Frost Sorrow was a little upset right now, as she felt the two High Elves steal the limelight.
On the contrary, Arthas looked a little depressed - he felt more and more that his father was not right - could it be that King Terenus knew the strength of Frost Grief so well that he could be sure that he would not be hurt?
Linked to his father's strange actions after he and Frost Sorrow traveled through time, Arthas felt more and more suspicious - why...... As if his father knew more about Frost's sorrow than he did?
King Terenus was completely unaware of his son's worries, and he looked at Jean in front of him? Greyman, with emotion.
"It's been six years, Jean, and it's been six years since we last met."
King Terenus said earnestly, not for a second, Jean? Greymane's men also wanted to kill themselves.
"Twenty-six years, Terenus. We're all old. ”
Jean? Greymane had already regained his normal expression, and said with emotion as if nothing had happened just now.
King Terenus nodded—twenty-six years ago, he and Jean? Greymane is still two young men who have a close relationship with each other, and they are noble. The future is limitless.
Princes of the same kingdom, King Terenus and Jean? Greymane was on good terms, and the prince of the kingdom of Gilneth even lived in Lordaeron's palace for a while. Along with King Terenus, he was taught by the learned scholars of the kingdom of Lordaeron.
They rode horses together, practiced martial arts together, won the eyes of all beautiful maidens at dinners and balls, talked about politics, people's livelihood and history together, and fantasized together about the majestic orders that would make the country stable and stable after they became kings.
See Jean? Greymane, King Terenus, seemed to see his youth—though it was gone. But it still makes him miss his youth immensely.
"So, Jean, you called me. What exactly are you trying to tell me? ”
King Terenus asked with a smile as he broke free from his memories of the past.
"That's right, Terenus. What we have is time to reminisce about the past, but the present ...... I need you to bring your people. Leave my country. Leave my land - and let go of those you have taken captive, I know you will not kill them all. ”
Jean? Greymane's face softened a little more than he had at first, but he said in a resolute tone.
"Hah! It's funny, if I'm not mistaken, since our father's generation, the Silver Pines Forest has been the domain of Lordaeron, are you sure...... Have my people entered your country? ”
King Terenus let out a chuckle. Don't care about Jean? Greymane looked embarrassed.
"You know what I'm talking about, Terenus. I admit that you have an advantage first. But we have this. ”
Jean? Greymane turned his head and pointed to the towering Wall of Greymane, his last reliance and his only advantage against other human nations.
"Do you think this line of defense can keep our army out forever? Come on, Jean, you know that's impossible. We have more troops, more land, more food, and you...... I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but behind this high wall...... It shouldn't be a bustling city, right? How long do you think you and your people will be able to hold out? We could besiege this place for ten years, and you ...... Will your reserves of grain and salt last that long?
The land of Terenas vs. Jean? Greyman's dependence didn't care.
"You don't have any more people, Terenus. I know Solas hasn't arrived yet, Dalaran isn't supporting you, Stormwind is too far away, and Dalyn is blocked out of that reef, you don't have an advantage, Terenus. ”
Jean? Greymane replied, somewhat unconvinced.
"In fact, Solas has arrived, and at the time of the latest news he was three days away; Daelin and his navy really couldn't get to the shores of Gilney, but ...... You don't think we're going to start this war without any preparation, do you? If I were you, I would remove both the civilians and the military along the coast, so that they would not die in vain. ”
King Terenus replied unceremoniously.
"Even then, you won't be able to breach the gates."
Jean? Greymane shook his head, he had always had faith in the line of defense—the ancestors of the Kingdom of Gilneth had failed to step through the wall, but the other enemies had paid more for their attempts to enter it.
Everyone knows that the Wall of Greymane is a fortress that never falls, Jean? Greymane felt that he was at least invincible.
"We'll see, Jean, wait and see."
King Terenus smiled and said - even the strongest fortress needs to be garrisoned by the wisest commanders and the most elite soldiers to be called "unfallable" - whether it is Jean? There is too much difference between the command skills of Greymane and the military literacy of the kingdom of Gilneys/army and the best.
"I don't think we have much more to say, Terenus. If you want this land, take it yourself. ”
Jean? Greymane shook his head and said, turning to leave.
"Surrender, Jean, you know you can't win. I guarantee that you can own a part of the land of Gilneys, you can keep the title of king, you can keep a part of the army and the name of the kingdom, you can trust me, as an old friend. ”
King Terenus opened his mouth and called out to Jean? Greyman, said sincerely.
"Surrender? Terenas ...... If you were me, you might make that choice, but I wouldn't. I have not been able to carve out even a penny of land for the Gilnes family, and I will not give up at least half of it - unless I die. ”
Jean? Greymane listened carefully to King Terenus's terms for his surrender, and then refused.
"Think of the civilians and soldiers behind that wall, Jean. Their allegiance to House Greymane is not for you to lead them to their death. ”
King Terenus warned. (To be continued......)
