Before Sarena left for the city of Dalaran, Antonidas gave him an update.

Gene Greymane, King of Gilney, was unhappy with the outcome of the Battle of Alterac...... Or rather, dissatisfaction with the distribution of benefits after the war.

In Jean's opinion, Gilnes is the one who has contributed the most to the war, but Quel'Salas, who is hiding behind the scenes and doing some shady tricks, has picked the biggest peach.

Although Jean could not blatantly jump out of the politically correct environment due to the anti-Lordaeron League's wooing of the neutral state of Quel'Thalas, he has always complained in private.

The extermination of the traitor Edras Blackmore was the first official military operation since the re-establishment of Alterac, and there was no room for failure.

Yin Stillon was self-aware of Alterac's current military strength, and those recruits who were sharpening their guns on the spot were probably no match for Dunhold, who had a large number of veterans of the Second Orc War.

To be on the safe side, Etherton asked for reinforcements from a nearby ally, Gilneth.

What? Why not find Stormgard, which is also a neighboring country?

There are two reasons for this, one is that Stormgard is now too busy to take care of itself, and the Provisional Regency Council will need to spend a lot of energy just to deal with the deadwood trolls and ogres that are roaming around the Arathi Heights, and there will not be many troops to aid Alterac.

The second is historical reasons.

Before the outbreak of the First Orc War, the kingdom of Alterac had a territorial dispute with Stormgard, and the two countries were at loggerheads.

In order to fight against the kingdom of Lordaeron, the two countries, which were already greatly inferior to before, were forced to join forces due to the situation, but the hatred of the war that had broken out in the past was not so easy to eliminate.

Compared to Stormgard, who had a vendetta in the past, Gilneth was the closest ally of the new kingdom of Alterac.

After Aiden Pirenod's perverse deeds were liquidated, Yoatherton fled from the city of Alterac under the protection of his servants and was exiled to Gilneth next door.

At the invitation of Prince Liam Greymane of Gilney, Silverton settled in Gilneth during the most difficult period of his life, and would regularly join Liam in receiving royal knowledge from King Jean.

Saléan had spoken to Yonserton about it.

According to Yonserton, his relationship with King Jean was businesslike, but he would always remember the help Gilneth had given him.

The real intercourse with Yonsyeton is Liam Greyman, the young prince of Gilneth who has been widely acclaimed at home and abroad.

Because of Gilneth's long history of isolationism, Liam's international fame was far less pronounced than Alsae Minethil of Lordaeron.

But in Innetherton's opinion, Liam's abilities and character are far superior to Arthas, who was spoiled by Terenus.

Sarean has not yet approached Prince Liam and will not comment on Yonserton's assessment for the time being.

Judging by the happy smile on Yin's face when he mentioned Liam, the two young princes did have a good personal relationship.

Taking this as an opportunity, Alterac signed an alliance agreement with Gilneth for in-depth cooperation as soon as it was rebuilt, and even Quel'Thalas, who had helped a lot in the Alterac War of Independence and negotiations, was ranked behind.

In order to prove Gilneys's strength in front of his new allies, and to fight for his breath in front of the "scheming" Quel'Thalas, the Gilneth army that entered Hillsbride's aid this time was personally commanded by King Jean Greymane.

The king marched in person, and Prince Liam, as Gilneth's heir, could only stay in the royal city.

Not being able to see his friend Liam again, Eathurton was somewhat disappointed.

After all, his current identity is different, and he clearly knows that the overall situation should be the most important thing now.

Before Sarjan set out from Dalaran, King Jean had already led Gilne's army south from the Alterac Mountains, and Alterac's new army was also following him.

The Ravenhold thieves' preliminary reconnaissance of Dunhold was almost complete, and Etherton and Jean had a lot of important information in and out of the castle.

Both kings, old and young, thought that the time was ripe for an attack, and that the Battle of Dunhold was about to begin.

According to Sarean's estimation of the speed of the march of the two coalition forces, it would take a maximum of three days for the coalition forces to descend on the city of Dunhold.

At that time, as a Dunhold gladiator, Gu Yin'er will inevitably be pushed to the front line to fight, and it will not be so easy to secretly take him out.

In other words, Sarren must find Guyer within three days, find a way to get him out of the castle without even noticing, and maybe bring his adoptive parents, the Folkston.

Hovering several times in the air, Salian used his eagle eye to observe the layout of the buildings and the distribution of troops in Dunhold Castle in detail.

Although Blakemore is a whimsical visionary, he is not exactly a bale of straw after participating in the Second Orc War.

Blakemore had already felt the rain coming from the hills and mountains of Hillsbride, and he could clearly realize that a traitor like himself, who abandoned his country and recognized the thief as his father, could not be forgiven by the new king.

Out of a sense of distress, Blakemore has spent the last year to recruit troops.

Unfortunately, anyone with a discerning eye can see the end of Dunhold Castle, except for a few outlaws who came for a lot of money, there were not many mercenaries who responded to Blackmore's call.

Unable to get more aid from the outside, the anxious Blackmore could only look inside the castle.

Dunhold Castle is one of the important parts of the Orc Shelter program in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and the castle is home to thousands of tribal orcs.

Blackmore originally adopted Gu Yin Er in order to one day command the orc army through Gu Yin Er and complete his unrealistic ambition to become king.

At such an existential juncture, Blakemore still stayed true to his original intention, and when he was in a hurry, he called Guyir, who was called Thrall, inspired his fellow orcs to fight for Dunhold.

For Goodyer, Blackmore's request was also an opportunity.

He wants to rescue his fellow orcs who are being imprisoned in Dunhold Castle and are becoming decadent.

Today's orcs are no longer the brave and combative green-skinned monsters of the Second Orc War.

After the catalytic effect of demonic blood wore off, the orcs began to become weak and weak.

Coupled with the psychological blow caused by the defeat in the war, the orcs who were imprisoned in various shelters have lost their once high will to fight.

If it was to fight for freedom, this group of weak orcs could still lift up a little spirit.

But for Dunhold, for the slave owner Blakemore...... I'll you.

In recent days, after many attempts to persuade him to no avail, Gu Yin'er has asked to see Blakemore.

But Blakemore, in order to relieve the pressure in his heart, was completely immersed in alcohol and women, and did not leave his bedroom for several days.

Goyir wanted to convince Blakemore to relax the rewards for the orcs, preferably promising them their freedom after victory in the war.

…… Although Goyin himself did not believe that Dunhold could defeat the invading enemy, what if? Dreams still have to be had.

In the process of coming into contact with the imprisoned orcs, Gu Yiner was disappointed in these lazy and decadent compatriots.

Gu Yin'er, who had been raised by humans since childhood, had never heard of the life of orcs before they were contaminated by demonic blood, and in the eyes of most humans, these green-skinned orcs were out-and-out monsters.

It was precisely because of the invasion of the orcs that the already poor life of the people of Hillsbride was even worse, and some people who could not survive even had to sell themselves to Blackmore as slaves.

Due to the different education he received since childhood, Gu Yin'er at this stage is very disgusted with his orc identity.

Fortunately, Talesa never looked at him differently, and this ill-fated and kind girl helped Gu Yiner shape the correct three views, laying a solid foundation for his future legendary life.

"Found it."

Using Eagle Eye, Sarjan locked onto a tall, green-skinned creature in worn chain mail as he walked through the castle's containment prison, spending a lot of time trying to convince the clumped orcs to regain their will to fight.

It's a pity that Gu Yin'er's words, who have never received orc education, are like chickens and ducks to these orcs who don't agree with him, and they can't talk together at all.

The orcs of the old tribe despised this fellow "pet" who had been raised by humans, believing that he had lost his orcish quest for glory and was willing to become a lackey of humans.

Another failed persuasion, Gu Yin'er ...... Or rather, Thrall sat in a corner of a walled city in frustration, the human guards and mercenaries passing by him mercilessly sneering at him.

Thrall had become accustomed to the contempt of the people around him, and ignored them, and returned to his hut in despair.

He hadn't lived with the Talesa family since Thrall turned twelve.

However, Taressa, who was admitted to the castle as the lord's mistress, would often find opportunities to come out to him, and occasionally bring Thrall a few books from the castle to relieve his boredom.

"Hey~"

Sal lay on the bed and looked helplessly at the ceiling: "The lord's task, how to complete it." ”

"Heh~"

A chuckle suddenly sounded from a dark corner beside Thrall.

"Young orc, do you need me to guide you?"
