Chapter 115: Kyle's Answer
As soon as the agreement between the Alliance and Gilneth was reached, Admiral Daelin ordered the troops to follow the Gilnesian naval guide into the Gilnes Inland Sea in small and medium-sized vessels. They avoided the reef along the way. The first group of 2,000 men landed in small boats with a large amount of supplies, and their replenishment greatly reduced the pressure on the defensive front of Gilneth. The first refugees were then transported to safety by boat to the sea.
At present, the number of survivors in the area under the control of King Liam is about 200,000, and the maximum number of people transported by sea is 10,000. It can be expected that this will be a protracted and large project. It will take at least one to two months to complete.
It seems that the Scourge is also aware of this news, and their offensive has weakened a lot, and it seems that they are reluctant to go toe-to-toe with the Alliance. This is certainly good news for Gilneth and the pressure on their defence will be greatly reduced.
But when these situations were summarized in front of Jiang Weihan, he frowned a little. There is something strange about this:
The total population of the Kingdom of Gilneth is over half a million people, second only to the Kingdom of Lordaeron. In addition to the 200,000 survivors, the remaining 100,000 have either become undead scourge or have been enslaved by the scourge - that is, in Gilneth alone, the Scourge has 100,000 usable troops.
And what is the total number of troops supported by Gilneth plus the Alliance? As far as Jiang Weihan knew, the remnants of Gilneth's army added up to no more than 15,000 people, while the reinforcements that could land from the sea added up to just over 10,000, and most of them were still at sea.
Even if the Scourge had allocated half of its forces to the Greymane Wall Line, the number of available combat troops on the southern front would still not be less than 100,000 - a number that would definitely crush the defensive forces on the southern front.
But why have they slowed down their offensive?
His military staff officer, Svein, speculated: "The Scourge must be planning some conspiracy that we don't know about!" ”
Jiang Weihan also had this thought in his heart. In the days since the start of the war, the air force has still not found any trace of Naxxramas.
"Is it possible that Darkan packed a large number of scourges into Naxxramas and drove it somewhere else, ready to replicate the tactics of the raiding Gilneth again?" Jiang Weihan speculated. It doesn't take much, even if it is only half loaded with the undead, when it suddenly descends on a big city, it will definitely bring terrifying ruin.
"I'm afraid so." Svein nodded.
Jiang Weihan stared at the map countless times, if this was true, which line would Darkan, or the Lich King behind him, choose? He swept past Dalaran, Lordaeron, Pearl City, Riptide Castle, and Staim before stopping at Silvermoon City.
He still felt that the High Elf Kingdom had always been the target of the Lich King. There was the Shoi of Yangjing, and the High Elves stayed at the northernmost point of the Lordaeron continent, far away from the Alliance's large forces, and withdrew from the Alliance.
He wanted to warn Quel'Thalas, but Anastarian's bad state last time was a reminder. Could it be that the High Elves were destined for this fate?
He has yet to hear that Ranger General Sylvanas is about to lead a large number of High Elves to support the Alliance. Naturally, he didn't know that because he defeated Anastarian, the king was so excited that he ignored politics and only thought about repairing the Elven Excalibur, and now the person in charge was King Kael'thas who was friendly to the alliance and had a good personal relationship with him.
Jiang Weihan was pondering the plan of the Scourge when an intruder suddenly brought him the shocking news that King Jean Greymane of Gilneth had died in an assassination two days ago!
This...... How can it be? Jiang Weihan looked at the little yodeler pilot, it was he who brought the news.
"Tell me clearly, what the hell is going on?"
"I'm Second Lieutenant Vali in the Air Force, Commander. I was in a plane crash during the bombing of Gilneth and was rescued by the Gilnes Resistance Army after parachuting. I was only able to come back on the rescue plane today. I heard this from a new friend before I left this morning. King Jean was assassinated by the Scourge Assassins on his way to negotiate with the Alliance Emissary! ”
Jiang Weihan thought of the large amount of energy that Valoran's heart suddenly gained the day before yesterday, which was used to summon the mechanical pioneer Victor. At that time, he guessed that something big might have happened to Gilneth.
It turned out to be such a big deal!
King Jean did not die in the original history, but his son, King Liam, was killed for him. Later, Jean changed his past and led the survivors to return to the Alliance, fighting for the Alliance wholeheartedly. The Night Elves took him in, leaving a haven for the survivors in Darnassus.
But now, he's dead!
Then Jiang Weihan immediately realized a question: "What about the corpse?" The corpse of King Jean? ”
"It is said that it was taken away by a natural disaster." Second Lieutenant Vali replied based on what Miss Gwen had revealed to him.
“…… Really. Jiang Weihan's heart sank.
After assassinating Jean, Ashbury threw his body into the sea below the cliff, falsely claiming to have been taken by a natural disaster. That's what Miss Gwen learned. However, just in time, Jean's body was indeed taken away and used by the Dreadlord.
When Jiang Weihan heard the news, he instantly realized that the Scourge Legion would definitely use King Jean to make a big fuss. Then the weakness of their attacks may also be in line with this conspiracy. Yiqiē's doubts seem to be justified after learning that Jean was killed.
"I'll leave it to you, Svein, I'm going to leave for a moment." Jiang Weihan hurriedly gave an order and left the camp. He greeted Kyle and immediately ran to his room.
"Kyle, I'm going out of my body to find out." Jiang Weihan briefly explained his intentions, and then lay on the bed and let himself enter a state of meditation.
"I hope it's still too late!" Such a thought flashed through his mind, and then he felt his soul come out of his body again, leaving the shackles of **.
Kyle silently closes the door and walks over to the bedside to take care of his body. After a few moments, she took off her helmet, set it aside, pulled over another chair and sat down, chin on her chin and continued to look at her commander.
She couldn't help but recall that Jiang Weihan had asked her if she would leave after her contract with League of Legends expired.
She still remembered Jiang Weihan's eyes at that time, both hopeful and apprehensive, afraid that he would be disappointed when he said something from her mouth.
"We'll talk about it then." She remembers answering like this. And Jiang Weihan felt that this answer was neither good nor bad, so he could only accept it depressedly.
"I'll leave when you don't need my help anymore." She whispered her answer. It's a pity that Jiang Weihan, whose spirit body is already several kilometers away, is destined not to hear the answer he wants to hear the most.

Times always change beyond expectations.
When Liam found that the Scourge was weakening, he ventured to charge the Scourge forces with a squad of cavalry. His hatred of the Scourge led him to mercilessly slaughter these twisted monsters that had risen from the dead.
Most of them, who had been citizens of Gilneth a few days ago, were now deformed and ugly, at the mercy of their evil masters, who had come to attack survivors from the plague.
Liam hated them so much that he called out for the Light's help, charging back and forth on his horse, shouting slogans like "Die", "Twisted monsters", "Cleanse you of evil", and "Avenge Gilneis". Soon, enraged by the Scourge regrouped a large number of troops to extinguish their group of cavalry who dared to pursue them, but Lord Godfrey saw the opportunity quickly and pulled Liam back, avoiding even greater losses.
