With the tacit approval of Jean and the nobles of the country, Duten left the royal court. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info returned to his quarters, changed into the armor that was riddled with cracks and wounds—the new armor was still being forged, and it would take some time to arrive—and he left Gilneth with his personal guard, as well as the soldiers of the three brigades of the First Legion.

After coming out of the north gate, I kept following the path to the north and soon entered the silver pine forest. After about two hours of events, they came to the village of Burning Wood. This land, which originally belonged to Gilneis, has now been completely abandoned. The village is still intact when it looks at the mountains, but the whole village is empty, only less than half of the villagers exist, but these people are not in a good state at this time, one by one pale and emaciated, when looking at the passing soldiers, their eyes are full of pale and numb, one by one like the walking dead.

This situation made Du Teng frown.

History has proven that there is no good end to closing the country to the outside world. His home country had experienced such a thing in a certain period of history, and the result was known by a Chinese, so now Gilness's behavior is tantamount to digging a grave for himself. Fortunately, Du Teng came to this world at the most critical moment and did the most correct thing, otherwise if the original script continues, the people of Gilneys, who relied on the power of werewolves to resist the undead natural disaster, will fall into the crisis of werewolf curse in the near future.

Then, in the invasion of the Forsaken, he was betrayed by the blood-toothed werewolves hidden in the country, and the city of Gilneth was destroyed. With heavy casualties, the people were finally forced to accept the protection of the Night Elves, leaving their illusions behind and heading to Teldashir, the last of the World Tree, to continue their bloodline.

It can be seen from the eyes of these villagers in Burning Wood Village that after more than ten years of abandonment, they have lost their nostalgia for the kingdom, and the soldiers of the kingdom are not even as good as strangers in their eyes. Of course, there is also the reason why werewolves are raging, after all, they are under unimaginable pressure, but the actions of the kingdom really hurt their hearts.

There are not many ways for Du Teng to deal with this situation, he is not a king yet, so he can't change the national policy inherited from his "grandfather", all he can do is to properly appease the cold hearts of these people.

Once inside the village, he came to a small square in the center of the village, where there was a fountain, and he jumped to the base of the fountain.

"Folks, villagers of Burning Wood Village—"

Seeing that the villagers around him were all looking over, he opened his arms.

"You may or may not know me, so allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lim Greymane, and I am the heir to the line of the Greymane family, Prince of Gilneth—"

Du Teng's words slowly landed, and the surrounding villagers did not move, their eyes were still so numb, and they were still so cold. Their hearts were colder than the wind and snow in Northrend, and they did not react at all to Duten's words.

And this is this good reaction, Du Teng has long expected it, so he doesn't care.

"I know that you are very unhappy with the policies of the Kingdom, and I understand that you are all Kingdom people, and that it is one of the greatest wrongs in my opinion to have forsaken you from the Kingdom. I want to apologize for the great crisis that my grandfather has made, and because of my father's mistakes, but I know I can't do it, not because I don't want to admit it, but because I'm not qualified to do it......"

Du Teng's words seemed to have played a slight role, and the eyes of the surrounding villagers looking at him suddenly had a certain look, at least it was no longer that kind of insensitivity.

"Yes, you heard me right, I don't have that qualification, even though I am a prince, and the cause of all this is my father and my grandfather. It is also for this reason that I am not in a position to apologize to you, because my family and I owe you so much, and a simple apology cannot make up for the mistakes we have made.

So, I need to pay for the mistakes my family has made. But I'm just a prince now, there are many things I can't do, many things I can't even say, and all I can do is a guarantee that I will do what I should do the most when I can. And now, I'm going to lead my way and defeat all the werewolves in that castle! ”

Du Teng slammed out the long sword in his hand and roared.

The surrounding soldiers also drew their weapons and roared with him.

The villagers, who had been watching all this from the sidelines, finally regained their vigor at this moment, their eyes were no longer numb and cold, and began to appear a trace of heat. They have been tormented by werewolves for too long, every day there are familiar people around them disappearing, they need to be on guard against werewolf attacks all the time, but werewolves are everywhere, they don't even know who is lurking around them.

Father, Mother, Husband, Wife, Brother, Brother, Sister, Sister, Son, Daughter...... They had relatives and friends, and now they had finally waited for the soldiers of the kingdom, although the prince and the soldiers had only arrived now, and it seemed a little too late anyway. But at this moment, they still couldn't help shedding tears, for themselves, for those who lost, and for those who will come in the future, they finally let go of their prejudices about the kingdom and opened their cold hearts.

While it is impossible to get them to let go of all their resentment, the change is ultimately good, and shows that the kingdom has not been completely abandoned in the hearts of these people, even though it has forsaken them.

……

The next moment, Du Teng walked out of the village in groups with the soldiers.

Fifty men were left to guard the village, searching for werewolves who might have escaped capture. The rest of the four hundred and fifty men, marching in full steps, with sharp swords in hand, walked towards the castle not far away.

Shadowfang Castle, located on the northern slopes of Burning Wood Village, was once Baron Sivalen's castle, but was rushed in by Arugao with a group of werewolves. Baron Sivalenne was killed in battle, and the castle became the domain of the werewolves.

Now that Arugao is dead and the castle is surrounded by the troops who arrived in advance, the cleanup of Shadowfang Castle has officially begun with the arrival of Duten.

There are two factions in the entire Shadowfang Castle, one is the ghost legion led by the soul of Baron Sylvaline, and the other is the werewolf legion, both sides are hostile to each other, but they also have the same hatred, and all creatures who dare to invade will be fiercely attacked by them.

But it's a pity that these guys are facing Gilneth's elite troops this time, and the priest team that comes with the team can not only treat the wounded, but also easily destroy all the ghost creatures with their own holy light power. And the werewolves are better to deal with, Du Teng took the lead and captured the werewolves one by one, now Du Teng has recovered all his energy, and it is very easy to use the six forms, and there is no difficulty in capturing these ronins.

The soldiers who followed him also took this opportunity to try to withstand the intensity of the werewolf's attack, the werewolf is actually not difficult to deal with, as long as the favorable terrain is in the favorable terrain, understand their attack pattern, two or three experienced soldiers can deal with a werewolf.

The soldiers who came this time were all elite, and there were more than 400 of them, and they couldn't deal with dozens of werewolves, and they were scattered werewolves, so it wasn't too easy. One by one, the werewolves were subdued, then tied up, and taken down.

It didn't take long for Duten to come to the deepest part of the Shadow Fang Castle, where the original Baron Sivalene lived, but now it had become a dilapidated room, and there was a very huge werewolf in it, two heads taller than Duten, and its body was full of knotted muscles, which looked like a piece of steel, which was very terrifying.

And its name, Du Teng is very clear - Wolgan, the first werewolf summoned by Arugao, is also the "ancestor" of all these werewolves, it is precisely because of its existence that the curse of the werewolf begins to spread, more and more werewolves appear, and Aru's subordinates have so much combat power.

It is not the first werewolf, but it is the beginning of the curse of the werewolf of Gilneth and the author of the tragedy of Burning Wood Village.

Looking at Wolgan, who was already showing his fangs not far away, Du Teng slowly drew his long sword and assumed a fighting posture.

The big war is about to break out.

……

And at the same moment, in the far north of the continent, a great war is also about to break out.

One of them is the scourge undead who attacked the kingdom of Gilneth, and the other is the famous High Elves.

Speaking of which, we have to give a detailed introduction to the reasons for the outbreak of this war.

That was a long time ago, some centuries after the collapse of the world, and the surviving upper elves had struggled to assimilate into their new society, but this was not an easy task for many - despite the fact that the practice of witchcraft was banned in mainstream society, they were still tempted to become addicted to magic.

These high-class elves have been repeatedly warned by the mainstream society, the larger Night Elves, who have even decided to execute repeat offenders, but such behavior continues to be prohibited. For the upper echelons, the allure of arcane is too strong.

Outraged by the bans and punishments inflicted on his fellow citizens, the High Elf Dasher Darth Rema Sunstrider eventually declared that arcane power was the birthright of the High Elves, and denounced those who feared it as cowards. In defiance, he and his men began to ignore the law and openly study arcane knowledge.

For these people, arcane magic is not only a symbol of their rebellion, but also a symbol of the greatness and excellence of the Night Elves. Although these high-class elves are not in the same league as Azhara, they are full of hope that the Night Elf society will return to its glory and be revived as a prosperous and powerful empire. And in their eyes, the study and use of arcane magic is indispensable to achieving such a future.

So they left the continent of Kalimdor and crossed the ocean to the eastern continent, where they found a safe place to live.

They even changed their beliefs and began to believe in and worship the sun, naming the source of magic made from the Well of Eternity as the Well of the Sun, and even changing the name of the race to the High Elves. And use the power of the Well of the Sun to continue learning, using, and delving into magic. Although there are concerns about whether this will lead to another invasion of the Burning Legion, these arguments are ignored by the High Elves who are blind to magic, they are no longer able to escape from magic, and they have become addicted to magic.

Of course, the High Elves at this time were not aware of this, and they were still immersed in the pleasure of magic.

After that, they fought with the Troll Empire, and eventually, relying on the power of the newborn humans, they defeated the Trolls. Within the borders of Quel'Thalas, the High Elf civilization flourished. No longer fearing the use of magic, the High Elves have created all sorts of arcane wonders, even bathing their realms in eternal spring light. The harsh winter will never come again, and the elves will not have to endure the ordeal they suffered before coming to the land again. And their capital, Silvermoon City, has become a monument that reflects the ancient Night Elf Empire.

After the defeat of the orcs, the leaders of the countries of the alliance began to argue over territorial and political issues. Reckimating that the fragile treaties they had signed in difficult times would not be sustainable, King Terenus of Lordaeron persuaded the leaders of the alliance to rebuild the Stormstorm Fortress that had been destroyed by the orcs with some money and labor.

These costs, along with the high costs required to keep the orc captives shelter up and running, made many leaders, especially the king of the Kingdom of Gilneis, feel that it would be better for them to withdraw from the alliance so that they could not bear these costs.

To add insult to injury, the High Elves of Silvermoon City suddenly announced the abrogation of all treaties with the Alliance, citing the fact that humanity was not fighting well, causing their forests to be burned down in large areas during the Second War. While Terenus deftly reminds them that the elves would be left with nothing if it weren't for the hundreds of brave humans who defended Quel'Thalas with their lives, the elves are stubborn about parting ways with the Alliance. After the elves withdrew from the alliance, the kingdoms of Gilneth and Stormgard also took the opportunity to withdraw from the alliance.

At this point, the High Elves have lost their human allies, and they have become one of the weakest forces on the continent.

Now, their greatest threat has finally arrived, the death knight Arthas, who, amid the incessant chatter of Kel'thugad, has finally set his sights on Quel'Thalas. In order for him to resurrect Kel'thugad, he needs a very powerful energy source, and this energy source, in the entire eastern continent, can only be provided by the High Elves' sunwells, and now, the army of the undead has approached Quel'Thalas, and a great war that can change the entire world is about to break out. (To be continued.) )
