Alsace kicked the corpse of the werewolf leader, and the strong werewolf corpse flew a very long distance with this kick, almost flying into the depths of the forest.
Gene and Darius looked at the werewolf corpse that flew far away and looked at each other in shock - the werewolf was taller, stronger and heavier than ordinary werewolves. However, Alsace's kick sent the werewolf flying an unknown distance.
If this kick were to hit a living person... I'm afraid it could cut a person into two pieces.
"Alsace..."
Of course Jean knew this prince of Lordaeron. Although he had not left the land of Gilneas for a long time, he still went to attend the Paladin ceremony in Alsace.
He didn't know why Arthas suddenly appeared in Gilneas, but he could easily imagine that the purpose of Arthas' appearance here must be related to the werewolves.
After the werewolves discovered that their leader of the pack had been killed by Alsace, although they still bared their teeth and had their bristles standing on end, none of them dared to rush forward and fight Alsace.
These werewolves whose wildness is far greater than their intelligence still have the same characteristics as wild beasts. When the most powerful werewolf among them is killed, they suddenly change from bloodthirsty wolves to hesitant skirmishers.
Without the leadership and command of the werewolf leader, they are no longer the crazy and wild monsters they were before. Now they know death and fear. In addition, the most powerful werewolf among them, the werewolf leader, has Being killed by Alsace made them even more afraid of Alsace's power.
This is the best time to destroy the werewolves' will to attack. Arthas said to Jean, "King Jean, I will explain the whole story later. Now, kill all these wolf cubs first."
A ray of holy light enveloped Jean's body, allowing his wounds to recover quickly. However, Arthas frowned slightly. He noticed that although his holy light had healed Jean's injuries, it had not healed. There was no dispelling the werewolf curse placed upon him.
It seemed that the curse was much more stubborn than he thought. Alsace had also tried to forcibly expel the wild souls from the werewolves he had encountered before, but the werewolves covered by the power of the holy light were unable to do so. With one exception, all were burned to ashes.
For those who have been turned into werewolves for who knows how long, the curse in their bodies is almost integrated with their lives and cannot be dispelled. Forcibly removing the curse is no different from killing them.
It's no wonder that Malfurion wanted to seal these werewolves in the depths of the Emerald Dream, presumably because he couldn't restore these werewolves to their original state.
Not to mention Lilar, who voluntarily accepted this wild power and could still maintain his sanity. He himself is a powerful druid. After gaining the wild power of the werewolf, I am afraid he will take the initiative to accept it. This kind of "blessing".
What Arthas didn't quite understand was that this power was actually a derivative of the power of the moon god Elune and the wolf god Goldrinn. But for some reason, the wolf god's power was inconsistent with the original intention he wanted to bestow. A mistake led to the birth of these uncontrolled werewolves.
But it cannot be denied that the power of these werewolves even exceeded the imagination of Lalar and Malfurion, but there is always danger in manipulating powerful forces, not to mention that Lalar was already thinking about revenge and controlling powerful forces. The power made the dark desires in his heart swell.
Perhaps he was once a druid who loved his fellow humans and nature, but now he is the Lord of the Pack, the alpha wolf of the pack, Lyral Flamefang.
The werewolf that Arthas killed was the more powerful one among the wolves, but he was not the leader of all werewolves. Arthas guessed that he was also one of the werewolves controlled by Lelar, and he was responsible for Control the wolves to attack Gilnean hunting parties.
With the help of Velinde and Valeera, Arthas easily found the leader hiding among the wolves, and used his completely unmatched power to kill him, and finally used the light of dawn to kill him. The transformed spear threw him directly out of the forest.
Arthas came alone to help Genn and others, while the others assisted Gilneas' army in eliminating and driving out other worgen in the woods, clearing the way for retreat.
They are not the only werewolves they have encountered now. Deeper in the woods, more werewolves are gathering quickly. After Alsace kills the werewolf leader here, the "chief wolf" who planned this invasion will definitely find them. movement.
If all the werewolves in the forest were to flood over, I am afraid that even if the entire Gilnean army entered the black forest, they would not be their opponents. After all, in the forest, these werewolves are the best hunters.
Not to mention, those injured by the werewolf will be infected with the werewolf's curse. The stubbornness of this curse can even make Arthas feel troublesome. It is not the type that can be forcibly dispelled.
This kind of curse, which is closely linked to the power of nature and the power of the moon, is better to be solved by the night elves. If Arthas comes, he will either be burned to ashes by the holy light, or he will become a cold-blooded undead. .
The Lich King's will is enough to break the werewolves' minds blinded by wildness, but now is not the best time to recruit them.
"We'd better move fast. There are more werewolves than what we see in front of us. There are more such monsters hidden in the forest."
Since the leader of the wolf pack was taken care of by Alsace first, the remaining werewolves had little resistance. After being easily cleaned up, the remaining werewolves who had lost their command fled on their own.
Before being recruited by a new wolf pack, they no longer have the ability to attack humans.
However, Jean and others were not in very good condition, especially those guards who fought bloody battles. Almost everyone was injured. Even Jean and Darius had wounds left by werewolves.
Arthas flicked the light of dawn, and the grace of the holy light fell on these people like raindrops, healing their wounds and temporarily suppressing their fatigue.
But like Jean, Arthas' holy light could not expel the curses in those who had been scratched or bitten by werewolves.
Many of them have been injured for a while, and the curse in their bodies has already begun to spread, even more serious than Jean's.
"Alsace, what is going on? Why are you here?" Gene looked at his healed wounds, extremely confused and puzzled, "Where did these monsters come from, and why did they attack?" us."
"Not only Gilneas, but the entire southern part of the Silverpine Forest and the border of Lordaeron are full of these guys. However, my people have controlled their spread in the Silverpine Forest, but they have crossed over. Greymane Wall.
As for their origin and purpose... it's very complicated to explain. Let's leave this forest first, otherwise when more werewolves come, I'm afraid there won't be many people alive here. "
The ineffective Greymane Wall made Genn look a little ugly, but he also temporarily understood the seriousness of the matter. At this time, pursuing Arthas for breaking into his kingdom was a very stupid thing, let alone their lives. But they were all saved by Alsace.
With Alsace, a paladin who was so powerful that it was unreasonable, to clear the way, and the werewolves dispersed, Jean soon saw some embarrassed reinforcements. Almost everyone of them was defeated, although there were not many The men were killed in battle, but almost all the horses they brought were killed or wounded.
The leading captain finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the intact Jean, but when he thought about his team being ambushed by werewolves and almost annihilating the entire army, his face turned red and white.
But he still walked up to Gene and knelt down on one knee, "I'm sorry, His Majesty the King."
"Okay, quickly reorganize the troops and we'll leave the forest immediately." Jean said to the captain, who then looked at Alsace who was looking deep into the forest, "Alsace, we have to leave! "
Arthas shook his head to Jean's surprise, "You should leave quickly. The werewolves in the forest will not give up. We have to stop their crazy behavior."
"You? Are these the few...soldiers you brought?" Jean looked at the "entourage" following Arthas, and said in shock, "Alsace, I am very grateful for your help to Gilneas, but It is completely impossible to defeat these werewolves with personal bravery. There are too many of them. We can leave the woods first and then make a long-term plan."
"If there is time, there is no problem in doing so, but we don't have that time now," Arthas replied, "Hurry up and lead your troops back to defend Gilneas. Those werewolves are not just hunting for food and seizing territory."
After saying that, Alsace took steps and walked deeper into the forest again, but at this time, a shout made him stop.
"Please wait, Arthas, can I come with you?"
"Liam?!" Gene's expression changed, he took Liam's arm and whispered, "Are you crazy?"
Liam glanced at his father and said with a slight apology, "Sorry, Father, but I think I have to go and see. If we don't know how these werewolves appeared, how can we deal with them?"
"But, you don't have to follow -" Gene choked in the middle of his words. He knew his son very well. When he saw Liam's eyes, he knew that he had to knock him out and take him away. , it is impossible to persuade him.
"If you want to go, I can guarantee your safety," Arthas nodded and agreed for Liam to follow him.
Darius looked at Jean and his son, shook his head, and was about to retreat to the team behind him, but Lorna beside him actually walked out of the team like crazy, and said to Alsace, "Me too Gonna go with Liam.”
Darius' eyes widened. He had no idea that his daughter would say such "nonsense". He was just about to stop his daughter from committing a suicide-like behavior, but Liam spoke first.
"Lorna, I am the prince of Gilneas. I have an obligation to investigate the truth of this matter, but there is no need for you to take this risk. Follow Uncle Darius home."
Lorna had no intention of leaving at all. She walked up to Liam, glared at him, and retorted, "Without me, you wouldn't have been able to deal with the werewolf just now. Moreover, the Crowley family has been protecting the royal family and the royal family for generations. Gilneas family, of course I have to be by your side and watch over you!”
"But Lorna -"
Liam wanted to say something else, but at this time Arthas interrupted the two people's "flirting", "Okay, if you want to follow me, I can guarantee your safety. King Jean Don’t worry about Lord Darius, I carry teleportation runes and can teleport these two to a safe place at any time.”
After saying that, Alsace said nothing more and went directly into the jungle ahead. Liam quickly followed after seeing this, and Lorna followed closely. Jean and Darius had no time to stop them. The two little ancestors had already disappeared.
Genn and Darius were anxious, but they couldn't let the people of Gilneas behind them take risks with them, and Arthas said that Gilneas City might also face the risk of a werewolf invasion, so they were even less likely to abandon themselves. The kingdom no longer cares.
"Liam, this kid, really has strong wings! When he comes back, I will make him look good!" Jean gritted his teeth and made up his mind not to think about Liam. Since Arthas dared to enter this place in person, If it's a dangerous woodland, then he must have a way to escape, so there's no need to worry too much about Liam's safety.
The one who had the same idea as Jean was Darius, but he had absolutely nothing to do with his daughter. But for so many years, he and Jean had always been at odds with each other. For the first time, he felt that he and Jean had "the same problem." .
Their children are all excellent, but such children are sometimes a little too assertive, and as parents they cannot say that this approach is wrong.
Now that the prince and the eldest lady have gone to investigate the truth about the werewolf incident, it is time for the two old bones to return to Gilneas to guard their city.
Liam and Lorna, who followed Alsace away, walked behind silently. They glanced at each other, then looked away in perfect agreement, looking at the road under their feet.
Alsace glanced at them sideways and said calmly, "You two probably weren't injured by the werewolf."
When Liam heard this, he always felt that something was wrong with Alsace's statement-like tone, but he didn't think much about it and replied, "Blessed by the Holy Light, Lorna and I were lucky not to be injured."
Arthas stopped at this time, turned around, and looked back at Liam, "There is a curse on werewolves. People who are hurt by them will also become werewolves - this matter, I I need to make it clear to you first.”
As soon as these words were said, Liam and Lorna thought of something at the same time, and they stood there like sculptures.
