775 Siege
Jean? Greymane stood on the rampart, looking out at the silver pine forest in the distance, silent.
A large group of Gilnes Kingdom officers wearing black plate armor and blue uniforms followed Jean? Behind Greymane, too, lowered their heads, not daring to say anything.
It's been almost a month since the Lordaeron Kingdom's army arrived on the other side of the Silver Pines Forest; Before this, the army of the Kingdom of Gilneth had not thought of sneaking up on these threatening enemies, but it was unsuccessful, and it lost nearly 10,000 elite troops.
For Jean? For Greyman, the blow was nothing - Tormont was just his distant nephew, and the soldiers were less than 10,000...... It's a pity, but it's nothing.
If there is a nationwide mobilization, Jean? Greymane was confident that he would gather 100,000 militarily trained soldiers, and it would not be a problem to hold the Greymane Wall.
But Jean? Greymane was still angry, so it was these Gilney Kingdom officers who really got hit.
In Jean? On the night of Tormont's departure from the front, the two oldest generals on the ramparts were beheaded, and most of the other officers were demoted on the grounds that they had not been dissuaded in time.
Of course all the kingdoms of Gilneys/officers know that it's just Jean? Greymane is just venting his anger - Jean, who has always thought highly of himself? Greymane was trapped in the walls of his pride, and of course he couldn't stand it.
What's more, Jean? Greymane knew in his heart that the armies of Stormwind, Ironforge, and Riptide must have all arrived in the Silverpine Forest. Soon the coalition forces will attack.
Even if he could thwart their attack, the army of the Kingdom of Gilneth would not be able to go out of the city to fight against the highly mobile cavalry, that is. The soldiers could besiege it for as long as they wanted to.
Although it takes a lot of supplies to stay in the city all the time, Jean? Greyman's side won't have it easy either—the coalition forces need to transport grain from the hills of Hillsbrad to the Silverpine Forest, and the army of the Kingdom of Gilneth needs to transport grain from within the kingdom to the Greymane Wall.
When all the foreign pathways are blocked, Jean? Greymane is really not sure if Gilneys, who is prosperous on the surface but has some external strength in his bones, can consume the rich kingdom of Lordaeron.
"Jean Majesty! There's movement over there! ”
Suddenly, a soldier from the Kingdom of Gilneth pointed to the city wall and shouted.
Jean? Greymane and the kingdom of Gilneys/officers on the ramparts were staring intently. Then their eyes widened in astonishment - they saw a large wave of tree trunks running towards them.
To be exact, a large wave of long feet from the trunk.
"It's a man, someone is hiding under a tree trunk!"
The sharp-eyed soldiers of the Kingdom of Gilneth shouted loudly - these soldiers were loyal in spite of their loyalty. But without the baptism of war, it is easy to become noisy.
Jean? Greymane discovered the secret of the trunks - it seemed that the soldiers of the coalition army had cut down the tall pine trees, cut off the branches, and carried them by manpower towards their walls.
"Archers! Archer! So, what are you waiting for? Shoot the arrows! Mage. What about the group of mages? Tell them to set those pine trees on fire for me! ”
Jean? Greymane shouted hoarsely. Those who seemed to be watching the excitement of the Gilneth Kingdom/officers only reacted.
"Quick! Fast! ”
In order to perform Jean? At Greymane's order, the city became chaotic, and the infantry retreated one after another, trying to make way for the archers, but the two sides were entangled, and neither of them could squeeze through the passageway.
Instead, the mages who were now part of the royal family of Gilneth were the first to arrive at the battlefield, using their spells to pass through or over the crowd and take their positions on the walls. Begin bombarding the Coalition soldiers carrying tree trunks under the walls with fireballs and various fire-based spells.
……
"That's a good idea!"
Stand on the edge of the silver pine forest and look forward with a telescope. King Solas said happily.
The owner of Riptide Castle was clearly boasting—everyone knew that he had come up with this idea from his nephew.
"Don't rejoice too soon, they're already within range of bows and spells."
King Terenus lowered his binoculars and reminded his allies - of course, not too much to worry about bows and arrows now, the soldiers were armoured, and the trunks they carried were good at protecting their heads and necks.
The Wall of Greymane is indeed tall, but the trees in the Silverpine Forest are taller; Prince Danas felt that the coalition could use these numbers as a natural siege ladder.
The tall pine trees were cut down and split in half, and the weight was not too heavy, and the soldiers of the coalition army lined up in a long line, sharing the burden with dozens of people, and they could carry the trees and run.
These pines have been carved out of grooves where they can settle down, and the bottoms have been treated by the dwarven craftsmen to be firmly nailed to the ground; As long as you can carry these pine trunks to the walls of the Greymane Wall and lean on it, this strong fortress is just a staircase at a dangerous point.
Of course, the army of the Kingdom of Gilneth would not allow the coalition forces to approach the walls so smoothly, and soon the first wave of counter-attacks reached the battlefield.
"Those mages ......"
Prince Danas put down the telescope in his hand, shook his head, and said.
"Archmage Modra and Gianna are ready, but ...... They can't fight so many people at the same time. ”
Arthas replied, then looked at Frost Sorrow behind him - it was time for the Little Demon Sword to help.
……
"Gianna, I guess you haven't forgotten what Antonidas taught you, right?"
Archmage Modra said to Gianna with a smile as he stood at the front of the coalition formation, guarded by a group of heavily armed soldiers.
"Of course not!"
Gianna clenched the staff in her hand and said loudly - this was the first time she had been involved in a battle between mages and mages.
"Alright, use your magic to support me, I hope you brought enough jerky, it's not an easy battle......"
Archmage Modra nodded, then leaned into his arms, raised the expensive staff in his hand, and began to chant the incantation loudly.
Gianna stood nervously behind Archmage Modra, her hands glowing with a lilac arcane glow, and she only waited until Archmage's spell was completed before she would support her with her magic.
Soon, the sky above the Wall of Greymane changed, and at some point, a huge six-pointed star-shaped magic array suddenly appeared. (To be continued......)
