World of Warcraft Resurrected Stormgard

Chapter 118 Whitewashing Peace in Gilneas

The closed-door Kingdom of Gilneas, due to its isolationist policy, escaped the invasion of the Scourge and fell into a short-term closed prosperity.

The Kingdom of Gilneas, which was originally the third largest among the seven human kingdoms, did not decline because of giving up part of its territory. Instead, its population surged, becoming the only human kingdom currently comparable to the Kingdom of Stormwind and the Kingdom of Stromgard.

However, this prosperity is actually self-deception. When the Scourge attacked the Greymane Wall, King Genn Greymane of Gilneas once proudly sent the army of the Kingdom of Gilneas to outside the Greymane Wall. Fighting against the Scourge, the entire army was annihilated.

The huge blow and the threat of the Scourge made Genn Greymane take the wrong approach. He hired Arugal, the mage of the Kirin Tor in Dalaran, as his court mage, and asked the court mage Arugal to summon him. The sleeping werewolves in the Emerald Dream went to deal with the partial forces of the Scourge.

Although these powerful and wild werewolves successfully defeated the undead of the Scourge, they were later driven by wildness to attack the soldiers of the Kingdom of Gilneas.

The court archmage Arugal was exiled from Gilneas, so he occupied Shadowfang Keep and continued to control the worgen.

But what King Zeon didn't know was that due to the werewolf attack, the Gilnean soldiers who were attacked had brought the werewolf curse to the Kingdom of Gilneas.

Due to werewolves, people disappeared from time to time and were attacked by unknown creatures, which also made the people of the Kingdom of Gilneas panic. However, King Zeon tried his best to suppress the news of werewolves and deceived the Gilneans and them in a deceptive way. Prosper forever under the protection of Greymane Wall.

King Zeon's various actions also made the enlightened Lord Darius Crowley very dissatisfied. The conflicts between the two increased sharply, leading to Lord Darius Crowley secretly plotting a rebellion.

However, due to the obstruction of Prince Liam, Lord Darius Crowley has not yet launched the famous "North Gate Rebellion".

But this suppression is temporary. As the conflicts intensify, Lord Darius becomes more and more irritable.

In the privacy of Prince Liam's palace of the Kingdom of Gilneas, Prince Liam was having a heated discussion with Lord Darius.

"Liam, I understand your thoughts. You want reform without blood, but this is impossible. No one knows your father better than me. That guy Jean's brain is as stubborn as a biting reef." Unchanged." More and more villages are being attacked by werewolves, and more and more werewolves are appearing. However, Genn Greymane, the king of Gilneas, has been promoting falsehoods in the Greymane Palace of Gilneas City. The prosperous times made Lord Darius intolerable.

After seeing the vitality of the Kingdom of Stromgard, Prince Liam understood more and more that his father, King Jean, was wrong and that the prosperity of the Kingdom of Gilneas was false.

As for the policy of isolationism and seclusion, when Liam discussed it with Garin, Garin used the high elves of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas as an example to let Prince Liam understand that there is no way out for isolationism and seclusion.

Even the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, which owns the Well of the Sun, was conquered by the Scourge. The magic shield of the Salas defense line failed to withstand the huge crisis. What is the Greymane Wall of the Kingdom of Gilneas?
When Prince Liam told his father, King Zeon, about the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, King Zeon did not understand the mistakes of isolationism and seclusion as Prince Liam expected. Instead, he arrogantly said, "This is It proves that the high elves are weak, and that Thalas defense and magic shield are not as strong as Greymane Wall." Is Greymane Wall really that strong?Are high elves really that weak?
This is of course impossible.

The one who attacked the Kingdom of Gilneas was just a partial force of the Scourge. It even wiped out the Greymane Legion, which King Zeon of the Kingdom of Gilneas was proud of. If the main force of the Scourge came, the Greymane Wall would not be able to withstand it at all. live.

In fact, the Kingdom of Gilneas is more fragile than Prince Liam imagined. However, the Forsaken, who inherited less than one-tenth of the Scourge's peak strength, almost destroyed the Kingdom of Gilneas, not to mention sweeping across the east. Where is the main force of the Scourge in the northern continent of the kingdom?
Moreover, decades of seclusion has prevented the Kingdom of Gilneas's army from fighting and war for a long time, leading to a rapid decline in strength. It can even be said that the army that King Zeon was proud of was destroyed in the hands of the Scourge Legion. If the Greymane Legion comes into contact with the Stromgarde militia of the Kingdom of Stromgard, the Greymane Legion will suffer a disastrous defeat.

Short-sightedness, arrogance, and all kinds of stupidity all appeared in Genn Greymane, the king of the Kingdom of Gilneas.

Even if it continues, there is no need for new external enemies to appear. Just the werewolves raging in the Kingdom of Gilneas can destroy the country.

Originally, Prince Liam was also under the hood of King Jinn. I don't know how far the werewolf curse has developed, or Lord Darius led Prince Liam to witness tens of thousands of werewolves attacking a Gilnean village. Only then did Prince Liam understand what was hidden under the whitewashed peace of the Kingdom of Gilneas.

However, the kind-hearted Prince Liam did not agree with Lord Darius's form of coup rebellion, because in Prince Liam's view, the Gilneans would fall into cannibalism, and there would be tens of thousands of Gilneans. The warrior dies.

However, the moderate Prince Liam has no real power at all and cannot convince his father, King Jean. His performance even attracted the attention of King Jean, who sent stalkers to find out who Prince Liam was contacting. .

It was also for this reason that Prince Liam had to talk in detail with Lord Darius in secret.

If Lord Darius hadn't known that Prince Liam was a king who loved his people like a son and had an enlightened vision, he wouldn't have been willing to temporarily give up launching a rebellion and secretly listen to Prince Liam's opinions.

Prince Liam understood that he could not suppress Lord Darius for long. In the final analysis, he was still a prince without soldiers and power, and Lord Darius was from the same era as his father, King Jean, and was in Gil. The King of Nice is second only to King Jean.

In order to buy some time temporarily, Prince Liam said, "Lord Darius, do you remember the troops you sent to Lady Jaina Proudmoore?"

"Of course, what's the matter, Prince Liam?" Lord Darius was a little confused when he heard Prince Liam mention the Gilnean war brigade he sent.

Prince Liam took out the map of Silverpine Forest, then pointed to Shadowfang Fortress and said, "Now, that army is in Shadowfang Fortress, under the command of Halford Wyrmbane, the high-ranking commander who was born in Stormwind City." Under his leadership, he launched an attack on the Covenant, and previously attacked Thoradin's Wall and Southshore."
