"Your Majesty, our army is almost unable to hold on!" Lieutenant Worden stumbled up to Jean Greymane and hurriedly reported the situation at the front, "Our defensive line in the commercial plaza district has been completely breached, and the royal courtyard is almost unguarded!" Majesty, retreat quickly! ”

King Jean's eyes were red, he hadn't closed his eyes for two days, and he hadn't heard any good news in his ears. The catastrophe of a qiē began the day before yesterday. The garrison of the Wall of Greymane sent a message that some of his soldiers had contracted a strange contagion, and that when they were sick, they foamed at the mouth and turned into a terrifying appearance and attacked all who lived.

The commander had ordered the men to be quarantined and asked the king how to deal with them.

When Jean received the news, he immediately remembered the plague that Lordaeron's messenger had spoken of—but he never imagined that such a plague could behave on Gilneth's head. Or directly infected the soldiers on the Greymane Line!

Jean regretted that he shouldn't have refused to return to the alliance so firmly. At this time, he could only pray in his heart that the scale of the plague would not expand, and that his army would be able to control the situation.

But his prayer didn't take effect, and something even more terrible happened.

The day before yesterday was the usual evangelistic day at the Cathedral of the Dawn of Light. In the morning, the faithful of the Holy Light gather in the church district to listen to the Archbishop's sermon, and at the end of the day, receive holy water and bread from the priest.

These things were gifts from the Holy Light, and the believers drank the holy water and ate the bread on the spot. The faith in the Light is now deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and at least a quarter of the people in the entire city of Gilneth have gone there by this time.

But at night, disaster struck.

The believers, who had eaten bread and water, turned into ghouls and began to attack the living in the vicinity. Then a flying fortress descended from the sky and took over the church. Heavily armed Scourge soldiers, necromancers, abominations, and lichs poured out. The newly transformed ghouls immediately joined their ranks. Overnight, a quarter of the people of Gilneth City became ghouls.

Jean gathered all the soldiers and those who could take up arms, whether women or old men, opened the armory and issued them weapons, and then fortified the commercial plaza area, the military area, and the royal courtyard area, tearing down the buildings and blocking the entrances. Evacuate the survivors while resisting the Scourge attack.

He couldn't bear to think back to what had happened in the past two days. Every moment someone in Gilneth dies at the hands of the Scourge, and the next moment they are resurrected by evil magic as members of the Scourge. The number of undead is increasing, while the number of survivors is decreasing.

What a terrible scene!

King Jean's heart was filled with remorse and remorse. If he hadn't been so stubborn in his belief that the Scourge wouldn't affect Gilneys, if he hadn't refused to join the Alliance out of selfishness, at least for now he would still have the Alliance's support, and Gilneth might have been redeemed.

What now?

Jean could only force his son Liam to retreat with his mother and sister, as well as some of the survivors, in an effort to keep Gilneth's fire. For himself, it is up to him to atone for his mistakes - and Jean thinks the only thing he can do is to stall for time as best he can, and attract the attention of the natural disaster.

"Pass my order, abandon the commercial plaza area and the royal courtyard, all troops retreat, and hold on to the two bridges of the military district! Mobilize all the cannons to the bridgehead! We must buy enough time for the survivors! Jean drew his sword and looked at the royal guards around him, "We're only fighting for Gilneth now!" ”

"For Gilneth!"

"For Greymane!"

"For the hope of tomorrow!"

The soldiers shouted all sorts of slogans. Jean gripped his sword and remembered his past: he was once a mighty warrior, and now let Scourge see a true King of Gilneth who is not afraid of death!

"Soldiers, follow me!"

――

After the meeting, Jiang Weihan immediately began to summon.

The Power of Demacia - Galen!

Hand of Noxus - Darius!

And the Commander of the Strategists - Svein!

In addition to this, he summoned the heroic grenadier - Kutch! This yodeler ace pilot will definitely come in handy in the current situation.

At present, large forces cannot enter Gilneth at all, and only the Air Force has the ability to support Gilneth from a distance.

Then there were the elite troops of Demacia and Noxus. Jiang Weihan summoned 10,000 people at one time, almost doubling the number of the entire Valoran coalition army!

Not counting those taken by Planck's fleet, there are currently more than 20,000 troops left in Lordaeron alone. However, this number is still slightly less than that of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. After having more energy, Jiang Weihan also needs to summon more regular troops.

With the advent of the Scourge Legion's Sea of the Undead tactics, the Alliance needs a large number of ordinary soldiers to maintain the battle line. Even if the hero's personal strength is strong, he can't be in charge of a thousand-man defense line alone. Jiang Weihan still understands this truth.

As soon as Galen came out, he looked around, and Jiang Weihan asked strangely, "What are you looking for, Galen?" ”

"Find my sister!" Galen glanced around and was a little surprised to see that there was no sign of Lux, "Commander, where did she go?" You didn't come to pick me up! ”

"She's in Dalaran now, as an ambassador for Valoran." Jiang Weihan replied. He remembered the plea he had made when he had summoned Lux so quickly: let him not summon her brother Galen so quickly.

Now it seems that Galen really manages it a little tightly?

"You can't stand her nonsense either?" Galen thought that Jiang Weihan was annoyed by Lux, so he "assigned" her to another country. Because in his opinion, his sister is indeed a little "free and loose".

Jiang Weihan is a little strange, although he hasn't been with Lux for a long time, this aristocratic lady is not the annoying type, right? Why does Galen think so?

So he asked.

Galen replied with some embarrassment: "Lux has been fond of pranks since she was a child, no matter how big or small, she has offended many people. She didn't offend you, did she? ”

Jiang Weihan smiled: "No, she is excellent on the battlefield, and she usually has nothing to be faulted with." I think it's nice to be lively, and it's okay to make a little joke - well, let's not talk about that. I've summoned your Fearless Vanguard Legion, and we're about to set out on our march, so familiarize yourself with the situation, and Wayne and Quinn will help you! ”

"Yes, Commander!" When it came to business, Galen immediately stood up sternly, saluted, and then took the command.

Then Jiang Weihan set his sights on Darius and Svein - they were both from Noxus, and they also cooperated with each other, one by one, complementing each other, and almost controlled the power of Noxus.

Darius was no different from the man he remembered, wearing heavy armor and carrying a giant axe, with a grim face and aggressive eyes, burly and domineering.

And the most attractive thing about Svein is his gaze, even when he looks at Jiang Weihan, he is calm and calm, without any fluctuations. Jiang Weihan saw an almost ruthless reason in his eyes. In addition, the crow on his shoulder always looked around vigilantly, I don't know if it was an illusion, Jiang Weihan always felt that the crow's eyes looked like Svein was watching him personally. It's a little weird.

But this is exactly the kind of staff officer he needs, a peerless intelligent general.

"Your task is the same. Darius, the elite of Noxus will be under your command. ”

Darius nodded "yes".

"Svein, I need you to establish a general staff—not the supreme command of your Noxus, but a staff dedicated to analyzing the shape of the war, drawing up detailed battle plans, and liaising and directing the front-line battles. You can choose any staff talent. I'll give you enough authority to do this. I know it's going to take time, and for now you're in charge of the military deployment of the Valoran Confederation while you're building a staff to try it out in this war and see if it can be buffed. If it works, we will continue to implement it, and if it doesn't, we can improve or cancel it. ”

"Okay, Commander." Svein was thinking about the idea of the General Staff as soon as he heard the instructions, and his instincts told him that this body should work. At the very least, unity of command is better able to pick up and fill in the gaps than individual commands.

"Alright, you guys go get busy!"

He sent the two Noxian heroes away. As for Kutch, as soon as he came out, he ran to find his flying team. Now he is catching up with Valkyrie, the captain of the Screaming Serpent.

Once again, only Kang Weihan and Kyle were left in the room.

Jiang Weihan set his eyes on the hero he had originally summoned, and he thought of the conversation of the angel when he was out of his body for the first time - it seemed that Kyle could increase his strength by absorbing believers through guò. But she refused to do so. What's more, her contract term is about to expire.

Jiang Weihan looked at the Angel of Judgment with his most sincere gaze: "Kyle, shall we talk?" ”

Kyle looked at him strangely and asked, "Commander?" ”

Jiang Weihan waved his hand and said, "Let's put our respective identities aside first." There is no commander and hero, just you and me, equal dialogue. ”

"And then?" Kyle is even weirder.

"Putting aside the relationship between superiors and subordinates, we can be considered friends, right?" Jiang Weihan asked.

Kyle replied mercilessly, "I have no friends." "Indeed, she has been a queen of the Eternal Kingdom for countless years, and the angels are her subjects, not qualified to be her friends. Her sister Morgana betrayed her, almost as an enemy. And in the countless planes that have been conquered in the past, no intelligent creature dares to be on an equal footing with her.

Jiang Weihan felt like he was being pinched by his throat, he was a little frustrated, and waved his hand, "Okay, whether you think so or not, but I do consider you a friend - when I was out of my body before, you woke up from your slumber and overheard your conversation with Burning Heart and Hiko. They say that your contract with League of Legends will expire in seven years. ”

He looked at Kyle, the first hero he summoned and a "friend" who had protected him many times, with some apprehension and some hope, and asked, "Are you going to leave then?" ”
