Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Unification of the Empire (Part II)
The Kingdom of Gilneth is the most powerful human kingdom among the six nations of the Alliance, excluding the Kingdom of Lordaeron, the Alliance of City-States of Dalaran and the Kingdom of Stormgard.
Under the sudden man-made disaster called "Plague of the Undead", which was unprecedented in scale, this human kingdom, which was originally on the rise, was inevitably hit hard.
"How long will Marquis Darius Crolley in the Windy Valley Territory be able to hold out?"
Unlike Tyrenus Minechel II, who had been in charge of the royal city and commanded the entire kingdom in the center, His Majesty the King of Gilneth had just personally led the strong men under his shelter to bravely go out of the city and sweep around the surrounding silver pine forests, infected with the plague of the undead, and the loss and skeletons of some dead primate beasts.
Incidentally, although the threat of the undead plague to humanoid lifeforms has increased exponentially compared to similar products in the original history, this powerful infection ability is uncharacteristically unable to infect most non-humanoid other animals and plants.
Of course, this specifically refers to the fact that it is only impossible to infect living organisms, and if other creatures themselves have already died, it is still possible to resurrect their corpses under the necromancy of the psychics.
This is probably the so-called balance adjustment of one gain and one loss!
Jean Greymane is the name of the monarch of the Kingdom of Gilneis, but as a monarch, he has already announced the abdication of the imperial edict three hours ago, after the old fox Terenus of Lordaeron announced his abdication and submission.
In other words, at this moment, Jean Greymane can only be regarded as the "former king of the Kingdom of Gilneis".
The burly heroic warrior former king, with a huge two-handed sword on his back and a holy cross necklace around his neck, followed a gray-robed mage apprentice who led him forward, towards the right side of the palace, where a huge royal garden square was located.
There, the head of the spellcasting team supported by Councillor Dalaran Kenrito, the Archmage of the Hero Rank Mid-Rank Arugao, was arranging a giant spatial magic array that could supply a large number of teleportations for an entire army.
"Father, three quarters of an hour ago, His Excellency the Marquis had already told us through the teleportation circle that he could hold out for about 2 days."
"The reinforcements we sent, Earl Grey Burial and Viscount Worden, have already led the soldiers of the 3 legions to the Wind Valley region to support."
Prince Liam, the former kingdom's first heir, and a group of high-ranking bureaucrats of the kingdom followed behind the mighty warrior.
Hearing the question of the abdicated monarch in front of them, Prince Liam took the lead and said to his father calmly.
"Liam, stop calling me father, call me father!"
After hearing Prince Liam's words, Jean Greymane frowned, reminded his son, and continued.
In the current timeline, due to the mutation of the way the undead plague spreads, as well as the emergence of the Holy Light Cross Church and the Holy Araso Empire, Jean Greymane does not have the opportunity and energy to build the Greymane Wall again.
"In that case, let's welcome the Empire's reinforcements as soon as possible!"
After hearing that the situation in the Wind Valley Territory, one of the most critical territories in the southern region of Gilney, had barely stabilized, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the pace under his feet increased again.
Different from the other five human nations in the alliance, because the entire southern territory of the entire Gilneth is intertwined with complex terrain such as forests, jungles, and swamps, you have me, I have you.
From these inaccessible areas, there are always small groups of confused undead plague beasts coming out from time to time, and this situation is different from other human realms, so that the entire undead plague in Gilnis, showing a more serious trend of flooding than other regions.
At least, except for Gilneys, the area around the royal city, the capital of other kingdoms, will not have lower-level officials report the undead attack from time to time.
It is also the growing plague situation in Gilneth that explains why the former monarch of Gilnes would so easily abdicate and submit to Emperor Karen.
But no matter how you say it, the Kingdom of Gilneth is destroyed, and after the questioning, the former king of Jean and the other magnates all fell silent again.
The large teleportation array that had been commissioned to be built by Archmage Arugao was already getting closer and closer to Jean Greymane and the others.
After half ringing.
They could even see the unique glow of the sky-high violet magic emanating from there·······
——————————————————————————
Black clouds covered the entire sky, and it was daytime, but the entire Kurtilas archipelago was still shrouded in a gloomy sky similar to that of the evening.
The Chief Minister of the Territory of Kurtiras, a man with still gray-haired hair, dressed in a magnificent gown, led a group of ceremonial guards, standing respectfully on the far right side of the city's harbor waiting for something.
This warehouse, which used to store a large number of goods, was directly leveled by the Kurtiras Islands with official power, forcibly transforming the largest vacant land in the entire Kurtilas King City.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, under the shocked gaze of countless Kul Tiras, a miraculous scene appeared in the sky above the firmament of this clearing.
A huge fleet of more than ten airships, each with a capacity of hundreds of meters, broke through the clouds in the sky and landed through the gaps.
The golden rays of the sun, shining through the cracks in the clouds that had broken through the fleet, shone right on the huge Holy Cross carved on the hull, rendering it with a layer of pure gold, incomparably bright, divine light.
The airbag of the airship flashed with the unique white-gold brilliance of the Holy Power of Judgment, and it was these brilliances that isolated the damage to the airship caused by the air turbulence that permeated the outer part of the Kurtilas Islands, allowing this fleet representing the majesty of the empire to land smoothly.
"Click!" "Click!" "Click!"
After the sound of gears rolling, the door opened to the cabin at the bottom of each of the airships.
Our henchman of the Holy Arathas Emperor Karen, the heroic Count Andrei, with a one-handed crosssword at his waist, walked out surrounded by a group of officials from the Imperial Foreign Office.
With a smile, the Chief Minister of Kurtiras's Territory hurriedly greeted him and said.
"Your Excellency Count André."
"On behalf of Lord Dalein Prodmore, I welcome the arrival of the Imperial Mission to ······"
However, Count André saw that Daylin Prodmore did not come to greet him personally, and immediately raised his eyebrows.
Unlike the five human nations on the mainland, who had to submit to the empire in the midst of the plague, Kurtiras, who was on the island, had blocked the route to the mainland in time before the storm of the crisis, so the plague crisis in the country was not serious.
By now, the plague of the undead in the entire archipelago had been completely eliminated by the Admiral of the Alliance, Dalyn Prodmoor, the Grand Lord of Kurtilas, and this merit was unique in the entire Alliance country.
Therefore, in the face of this archipelago country, which has maintained its strength relatively intact and seems to have some remaining strength, the diplomatic method of the Holy Araso Empire is naturally not to wait for them to surrender, but to change to a more active method.
"Your Excellency, I'm sorry, but please wait a moment."
"The Empire's mission, half of them have not yet arrived."
Count Andrew, who took the initiative to come, directly interrupted the chief minister's welcome words, and he took out a delicate pocket watch from his arms and looked at it, wearing a neat earl's dress.
"Still, in terms of time, they've arrived."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sea outside the harbor shook violently, and a huge black shadow at least a few hundred meters above floated rapidly from below.
An ancient octopus sea beast that is at least 300 feet tall and has huge tentacles of nearly a kilometer or more, like the arrival of a sacred beast from an epic story, appears in a small man-made tsunami caused by the huge sea water thrown up.
Then, before the crowd of onlookers around the entire harbor could react to their shocked thoughts, the octopus sea beast reached out with a tentacle to touch the harbor.
At this time, everyone realized that dozens of fishmen in robes and calm on top of the octopus were walking along the harbor where the tentacles walked towards the place where Count Andrei was······
