After all, Liam and Lorna did not rush back to Gilneas immediately, because the two of them were stopped by Arthas.
"It's useless for you to go back now. Gilneas City is still safe for the time being. I have sent someone to contact your father using magic communication. It will take some time for those werewolves to break away from Lelar's control."
Lordaeron's army has been prepared in the Silverpine Forest, but if you want to enter the Gilneas Peninsula, you must first cross another obstacle, the Greymane Wall that stretches between the Silverpine Forest and the Gilneas Peninsula Mountains.
Even if Genn agrees to open the giant door to allow Lordaeron's support troops to enter, I am afraid that many nobles in Gilneas are unwilling to do so. After all, they have not been directly threatened by the werewolves. In their view, Lordaeron is probably the biggest. threats.
It was also very difficult for the navy to enter the Gilneas Peninsula at this time. Before the catastrophe, the Biting Reef on the coast of Gilneas was a natural protective barrier, and ships of the tonnage of warships could not enter the inland at all.
Velinde and Arthas said that in half a month at most, the werewolves would completely get rid of the chaos and confusion when they escaped from the Emerald Dream. At that time, their instincts would drive them to find "prey" and expand their territory. Ethnic group.
Although the "chief wolf" Lelar has long been imprisoned in a special prison by the Alsatian people, new leaders will naturally appear among the divided wolf packs, and their goal is also very clear, which is the densest group of wolves. A gathering place for humans.
The Gilneans are brave and good at fighting, and they may be able to withstand the crazy offensive of the werewolves, but the greatest threat to the werewolves is never their numbers, but their way of spreading the curse like a plague.
Even if you are scratched or bitten by a werewolf and get a shallow scar, you may succumb to wild rage at any time.
"Arthas, I will ask my father to open the door to Greymane Wall. Do you really have a way to stop the werewolf's terrible curse?"
In the conference room, Liam was begging Arthas again to send troops to support Gilneas. Arthas shook his head helplessly, "You should know the situation in Gilneas better than I do. If the door could really be opened, we would have been able to do it long ago." To support Gilneas, could it be said that all the messengers sent by Jean were intercepted by werewolves?"
Liam sighed, "Werewolves will not intercept the team's messengers with premeditation... They are more willing to attack human villages and towns."
"That's right, and our most important reinforcements haven't arrived yet. Your father also needs time to deal with his current affairs."
While Arthas was talking to Liam, the voice of the royal attendant suddenly came from outside the house, "Your Highness, General Maris is back."
"Nathanos? She's finally back. Liam, we'll talk about the Greymane Wall later. Let's go meet a special 'guest' first."
Liam followed Arthas out of the conference room in confusion, and saw Nathanos who had not had time to change out of his military uniform and had a few claw marks on his armor.
"Where's that 'Arch Mage' who's doing all sorts of things?"
Arthas looked at Nathanos, who was empty-handed, and asked.
"His rebellious spirit is very admirable, so in order to make him quieter, I asked him to sit in the car." Nathanos replied expressionlessly, but he stretched out a hand and casually touched it on his clothes. He stroked the scratches on his nails.
Arthas raised his eyebrows. Looking at the ranger lord's appearance, he guessed that Arugal must not have sat in the car "voluntarily".
"Mage - is it General Maris?" Liam reacted instantly. He followed Alsace to the open space in front of the camp and saw a dilapidated "open carriage" with an expressionless man slumped on it. A pale middle-aged man.
"Grand Mage Arugal, this is the first time we meet. I am Arthas Menethil. You don't look very good."
Alsace's words made Arugao, who had his eyes closed, reluctantly open them. He showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and replied tremblingly, "Your Highness... Your Highness."
Seeing this guy's honest look, Alsace was a little surprised. He originally thought this guy would be unruly, but why did he look so wilted now?
In fact, Arugal was indeed very unruly. When Nathanos tracked him down with his rangers and spies, he even tried to capture Nathanos alive, with no intention of surrendering.
But when Nathanos' short knife was placed on the neck of the "Arch Mage", he finally knew what it means to be a good man who doesn't suffer the immediate consequences.
Of course, sitting still and waiting is not an excellent quality for a mage. Arugal wanted to escape more than once on the way and used special methods to call for help from the werewolves. Finally, Nathanos became impatient and fought with a werewolf. , "accidentally" injured Arugao.
After that, this guy never dared to think about "escaping" again.
In fact, another reason is that although this archmage "doesn't live up to his name", he is still somewhat capable. After studying werewolves for so long, he can still feel the changes in the wolves.
When Lelar was defeated at the hands of Arthas, Arugal's spirit was greatly traumatized by his connection with the werewolves, leaving him in a trance and unable to concentrate on casting spells. becomes very difficult.
In such a state, coupled with the injuries on his body, it would be difficult to walk normally, let alone run away.
However, Arugao did not completely give up hope, but he pinned the possibility of his survival on Alsace - maybe Alsace valued his ability and spared his life?
But this fantasy only lasted until he arrived at the Lordaeron camp in the Silverpine Forest. When Liam saw Arugal, anger surged in his heart. He ignored Arthas beside him and walked up directly towards Arugal. Lu Gao was punched in the face.
How could Arugao, who was already injured, avoid the punch of the strong Liam? After receiving this solid punch, he immediately had stars in his eyes and almost fainted on the spot.
"This punch is for those innocent people!" Liam's eyes almost burst into flames when he looked at Arugal. Because of this guy's foolish actions, the werewolf could come to the real plane so easily.
After Arugal was beaten to a pulp, Nathanos gestured to Arthas to indicate whether he should stop Liam, but Arthas shook his head calmly, "No, Lee. The anger in Yam’s heart needs to be vented sooner or later, just be careful and don’t beat this guy to death.”
Having said that, Arthas glanced at the half-dead Arugao - the werewolves had caused such a big mess in the human country, and they needed an explanation. It just so happened that this guy who could be said to have betrayed humanity was Best way to put it.
After temporarily leaving Arugao to Liam's disposal, Alsace was about to leave for a while, but was stopped by Verinde.
And she did bring the news Arthas wanted to hear.
"I received news from Ms. Tyrande that our fleet will arrive in the Eastern Kingdom soon."
"Really? This is really good news," Arthas nodded. The help from the night elves can be said to have arrived in a very timely manner. It will take some time to reach the Eastern Kingdom from Kalimdor. It seems that the night elves I am still very concerned about the werewolf issue.
"I will personally go to greet the priestess and the archdruid," Arthas said to Velinde. "Please convey to me that there is a suitable coast to the northwest of Silverpine Forest. There is a long beach there. Please forgive me. There is a lack of good ports to the west of the continent of Lordaeron."
