"Wake up, wake up!"

"Stand up, Liam!"

An anxious voice sounded familiar to Liam Greymane's ear, who was this? He just felt that the world was spinning, and he couldn't see anything clearly in front of him. Something seemed to flow into his right eye, which made him very uncomfortable. He wiped a handful, slimy, as if blood was running from the corners of his eyebrows.

"I ...... Where am I? Liam **. He felt someone shaking his shoulders hard. "Who is it?"

His mind was so confused that he couldn't remember what had happened. Until his left eye could see clearly, this was Sir Vincent Goldfrey, his father's most trusted minister.

Liam's head was groggy, but he remembered his situation: "We were defeated...... No, no, we're on the run! ”

With Sir Goldfrey on his feet, Liam stood up. Not far from him was his favorite mount, "Jie Bai", who was now lying sideways in a rocky ravine, the corners of her mouth red with blood, a large pool of blood under her stomach, and her spiritual eyes full of pain and pleading.

"Lift me up, Sir Goldfrey!" Liam felt his left leg burn like a fire. Blood trickled down his trousers, almost spilling his boots.

He let out a painful ** and wanted to treat the whiteness, but his left leg did not obey him at all. He could only put his trembling hand near the wound and invoke the gift of light.

Seeing that he was no longer able to walk after his self-treatment was completed, Vincent urged in a deep voice, "Prince Liam, we must speed up our retreat. Just after the Scout returned, an undead force is chasing us after us! ”

"What about my father? Is there any news of him? Liam asked anxiously.

"No," Vincent shook his head, "the Scourge has completely severed our ties to Gilneth City. ”

Liam exhaled and comforted himself: "There is no definite news, then there is hope." He strode over to his warhorse, clinging to her neck and calling for the light, trying to heal its wounds.

Vincent stopped talking, and in his opinion, the whiteness was hopeless.

This has been proven by the facts. Liam's prayers were answered by the Light, but the white injuries were too severe for her to stand up. Even if he can live, he is destined to spend the rest of his life lying on the ground like a paralyzed patient and being served. But the army of the undead is behind her, how can he save her?

Whites is a mare with snow-white fur that Liam got her three years ago. In these days of being with each other day and night, he has long regarded Jie Bai as his closest partner. At this moment, after Jiebai was treated, he looked at him with big eyes, revealing the tenderness and begging of human nature.

Liam knew what that meant. The whiteness of human nature fully understands the terrible situation of her master.

Liam drew his sword and looked at the white gaze that seemed to him to be so incompetent and cowardly.

He couldn't protect anyone, and his father, in order to save him, blocked the enemy head-on. He couldn't even protect his horse, and he had to watch her die.

Liam choked and handed his sword to Sir Goldfrey, turned his back to White, and put his head over his face with his hands and sobbed. Tears poured out of his gloves immediately.

Vincent sighed and raised his sword to cut off her white head, ending her pain and avoiding her fate from being resurrected by the Scourge.

He returned the sword to Prince Liam and whispered, "Let's go, we still have to hurry." It's time to make it to Twilight before nightfall! ”

――

Jiang Weihan immediately rushed to the throne hall after receiving information that Gilneth had been invaded by a natural disaster. Everyone else had already arrived, and he was one of those who attended.

Antonidas saw him hurriedly walk in and quipped, "Ginger, I didn't expect you to eat it too!" ”

However, the old king of Terenus saw at a glance that his face was not right, and he immediately asked with concern, "What happened?" ”

Jiang Weihan said in a deep voice: "The Scourge Legion has invaded Gilneth. It should have fallen most of it by now. ”

"What!"

"This ...... How is this possible? ”

The crowd was so shocked by the news that they could barely speak, and they all looked at Darius, the commander of the Gilneth Brigade, who was now sitting in a chair, his eyes glazed and completely unable to accept the news.

Antonidas's eyebrows were almost furrowed, "Gilneth has built such a magnificent wall of Greyman, and the coastline is protected by a biting reef, and large ships can't get through Guò at all. They were invaded, how could we not have any news at all? ”

Dai Lin asked, "Could it be that someone from the Cursed Sect has quietly gone and unleashed the plague on their grain?" ”

Jiang Weihan shook his head and replied, "The Scourgeon Legion has a huge flying fortress, and in front of it, the Wall of Greymane is useless. And Gilneys did suffer from the plague, first the defenders of Greymane Fortress, and then the city of Gilneys. By the time I got the information, the Wall of Greymane had been largely taken over by the Scourge. ”

"So what should we do now? Everyone is almost not ready. Duke Berval Vortagen frowned as well. The theme of the meeting in the past few days was to complete the assembly of the various forces of the alliance within a month, leaving some to guard against the sneak attack of the natural disaster, and the rest to form an expeditionary force, called a ship to the Northern Expedition to Northrend, to directly destroy the culprit of the Lich King.

But none of the Stormwind legions have yet to set off. Even if King Varian were to be informed now, it would be twenty days before he arrived at Lordaeron with his army.

The situation is more or less the same in other countries. Only the Valoran Confederation and the Kingdom of Lordaeron react slightly faster. The former is because Jiang Weihan has been preparing for war, and the latter is on his own land.

"Time waits for no one, and we must solve the problems in front of us." Jiang Weihan said in a loud voice, "If the entire territory of Gilneth is captured by a natural disaster, then the enemy we will face will occupy the natural danger and sit on an army of hundreds of thousands of undead. We can't attack it from the sea, we can only storm the Wall of Greymane. I'm afraid that if we gather all the armies of the Alliance, it will be difficult for us to take such a magnificent fortress. But if we let it go unchecked, it would be able to capture most of Lordaeron with ease! ”

Although Gilneth is closed, it has the second largest population in the human realm, after Lordaeron. If it did fall completely, no one could imagine what it would be. When an army of hundreds of thousands of undead appeared in front of them, it was probably possible that they would not need to rely on the evil armies of the Greymane Wall to stand up to the Alliance.

The king of Eagle's Nest Mountain, Fstad Brute, spat rudely and said fiercely: "Damn, this son of a bitch's Jean was stealing and playing tricks in the war, but after the war, he was energetic in repairing the fortress!" After saying that, he felt that there was something wrong with the presence of Gilnes's people. But he glanced at Darius and saw that he had not slowed down.

Antonidas also sighed: "King Gilneth is really digging his own grave! The Scourge has blocked the Greymane Wall, and there is simply no place for humanity to escape. ”

Everyone began to curse. Even though they looked down on Jean Greymane, they had to admit that the Greymane Wall, which had been built almost to the strength of Gilneis, was a desperate fortification.

Terenus waved his hand to stop their cursing and shouted, "Stop these meaningless complaints, let's think of a solution!" What if the Scourge Flying Fortress were loaded with a large number of undead soldiers and dropped them into our hinterland? ”

Jiang Weihan said: "We should strike first. We must not allow Naxxramas, the flying fortress of the Scourge, to freely breach our airspace. ”

"Tell me what you can do." Dai Lin Dao. At this time, Darius also began to turn his attention to the sudden rise of the head of the Union state, hoping that he would give a way to save Gilneys - although he hated King Jean, he had always loved his country in his heart and did not want to see his people threatened by natural disasters.

Jiang Weihan nodded and began to talk about his plan: "First of all, we have to monitor Naxxramas, which requires some troops who can fly and reconnoitre. I think my flying troops and the griffon cavalry of the Brute Hammer tribe are up to the job. ”

Furstad patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, my boys are experienced!" ”

Jiang Weihan continued: "Then we have to support the Gilneth survivors. The waters of Gilneth are not accessible to large ships, but we can have small boats in to pick up the survivors and transfer them to the larger ships to send them away. Similarly, our troops should land from the coastline and establish a defensive line to ensure the safety of the evacuation of survivors. ”

"Sounds doable." The flame of hope reignited in Darius's eyes.

"The other thing is that we need to have the ability to stop Naxxramas from flying away." Jiang Weihan looked at the ** division Antonidas, "At this time, we need a flying fortress that can match it." ”

Antonidas knew what he meant, and said, "We can let Dalaran rise into the air." As long as the power is enough, I think we can stop it. ”

After thousands of years of reconstruction, Dalaran has become a veritable magical city. It can also be lifted into the air if necessary. Moreover, it is the size of two Naxxramas, and after activating the magic circle, its defensive and offensive capabilities are not bad.

"When the survivors are transferred, Gilneth's Temporal Danger will instead become a cage that traps the Scourge Legion. If they don't have a ship, they can't leave the sea. Nor could they flee from the air with Dalaran in the way. In this way, as long as we hold the gates of the Wall of Greyman, we will have the initiative in the war. Jiang Weihan's voice was full of confidence, "When the time comes, it is up to us to decide whether to go on the Northern Expedition first or annihilate them first!" ”

"Wonderful!" Terenus took the lead in applauding, "It feels like a cloud has been lifted. Jiang, your analysis of the battle situation is so thorough! ”

Jiang Weihan said: "I just got the information first, so I just have time to think about it." ”

Terenus said, "Don't be modest, you have the ability to do this—so right now, should we do our best to send troops to rescue Gilneth?" He asked for advice.

Jiang Weihan said: "Yes, the sooner the better." We need sea boats, all kinds of sea boats, big and small! ”

Dai Lin immediately said: "I will send a letter back immediately, and the fleet of Kul Tiras will be able to reach the designated place in three days!" ”

Terenus also said, "Our fleet will also be assembled as quickly as possible. ”

Antonidas said, "I'll go back and immediately convene a meeting to let Dalaran rise into the air!" ”

"My griffon troops will be in place tomorrow!" ”

Prince Galen stood up: "I will immediately go back and let my father prepare for battle, and Stormgard's army will rush to the battlefield as quickly as possible!" ”

Berval Vortagen said, "The army of Stormwind will be coming!" ”

Dwarven Duke Kurtaz said, "I'll go back and see how many warriors Ironforge and Nomorigen can draw!" ”
