The news from Kel'Thuzad did not shock Arthas too much. The ogres in Blade's Edge Mountains are indeed a force that cannot be underestimated, but it is basically impossible to rise in a short period of time with the Apexis Crystal. impossible.
In fact, what they can rely on most now is the dragon slayer Gruul and his heirs. These Gronns are the real reason why the ogres in Blade's Edge Mountain are running rampant.
Gronn itself is an extremely difficult guy to deal with, and coupled with a group of ogres that surround them, there is no one with no eyesight in the entire Blade's Edge Mountains who dares to touch their troubles.
Even Sinestra, who had Deathwing as the backing, did not take advantage of these guys. On the contrary, the Black Dragon Legion suffered heavy losses. In the end, Deathwing personally went to fight Gruul, and the result was In the end, he fell into Khadgar's trap and was beaten to the point of "throwing off his armor" and fled in panic.
Although Gruul was already beyond his capabilities when facing Deathwing head-on, he was not a character that the crazy black dragon could manipulate at will. Being able to resist for a while was worthy of praise, which is why Artha Si is so curious about Gronn.
Except for some orcs who were also stunned and thought about defeating Gronn to prove their strength, most people would only think of running away when they saw Gronn.
However, since the Scourge entered the Blade's Edge Mountains, they only went for the black dragon and Gronn. What made Arthas feel very regretful was that Draenor had been torn apart by Ner'zhul's teleportation magic. Those who could really trace the The creatures and heritage that reached the source of the world have perished.
"I'm afraid Magron and the original thorn beast are difficult to find. I hope these Gronns can be used to some extent."
Arthas didn't think much about matters in the Outlands. If Lothar and Kel'Thuzad couldn't even do this well, there would be no need for the Scourge to exist.
In other words, whether dead or alive, can there be a more efficient "office" in this world than the Scourge?
It's just that the current Scourge Legion is not able to run around openly and openly like a knight from the "Black Wind Village". Otherwise, many things can be solved easily. There must be a chance for the Scourge Legion to have a "reason" Appear in front of the world.
It is not expected that everyone can fully understand the existence of natural disasters, but at least the existence of the Scourge Legion must be known and acquiesced, and at least people must know that the Scourge Legion is not their enemy now, but an ally.
It is a pity that the werewolf problem cannot be solved by the Scourge alone. Otherwise, Arthas would have asked Kel'Thuzad to lead people to erect a dark canopy on the border of Silverpine Forest and Gilneas Peninsula.
If this is the case, then the number of werewolves may not be under control at all, and the only solution is the simplest and most direct method.
But the result may be that another human kingdom is destroyed in this world.
Tyrande and Malfurion had already arrived in the Silverpine Forest. After Arthas had a brief contact with them, the two knew that the situation was urgent, so they led the team into the Gilneas forest to solve the problem of Sharanir first.
Only by sealing the door for werewolves to enter the real plane can the uncontrollable curse of werewolves be truly eradicated.
These werewolves have been sealed under the sacred tree for thousands of years. Even if they are all sleeping, the uncontrollable wild power is still infecting the place where they sleep.
Shalanir has withstood this influence, but it is not completely undamaged. From the degree of decay of the Black Miasma Forest in reality, we can know that the influence of this wild curse has actually spread long ago.
It's just that in the dream, the peaceful atmosphere of nature prevails, but when it is reflected in the real plane, the situation is different.
Liam and Lorna were too worried, so Arthas asked them to follow Tyrande and Malfurion back to Gilneas.
In the night elves' team, there is no need to worry about their safety, which can be regarded as relieving Arthas' burden.
"Mentor, our people are ready." Liadrin opened the door curtain and walked into the command room.
"Let everyone move towards Greymane Wall from the route we have controlled."
Lordaeron's troops actually don't need to come into close combat with the werewolves at all. The night elves are the key to solving the problem here. They are just a cover-up to prevent any accidents from happening.
…
"Your Majesty Jean, thanks to the Holy Light, you finally woke up." Crennan was guarding the bedside in the secret room, still holding the unused potion in his hand.
"Uh... Crennan?" Gene touched his head, which was still a little dizzy and aching, as if wondering why Crennan was staying by his side, "Where am I?"
"You are in the underground chamber of the Royal Garden," Crennan said with a wry smile. "You have been in a coma for many days."
"Coma, how--" Gene was about to ask what happened, but he saw that his arms holding his forehead were actually covered with gray-white manes, and his hands had already grown sharp claws, and the sharp claws were still flashing. Cold light.
Crennan sighed, "Your Majesty, you can still remain conscious, but I don't know how to hide this look."
"How, how is this possible?!" Jean suddenly jumped up from the bed, almost hitting Crennan. He lowered his head and looked at his naked upper body. There was no trace of human appearance anymore, and he had completely transformed into a werewolf. look like.
"The injuries caused by werewolves seem to have some kind of curse, which will turn the injured people into their kind - many people in Gilneas City have already suffered from such symptoms, even those who have not yet become werewolves. It’s still contagious.”
Crennan truthfully reported the current situation in Gilneas City, which is really not optimistic.
"Damn, how could this happen!" Wolf King Jean suddenly felt an inexplicable anger rising in his heart, and the angrier he became, the more obvious his claws and fangs became, and the gray-white hair on his body stood up.
Crennan was shocked when he saw this and said quickly, "Your Majesty, please don't get angry. Anger will only make this change more difficult to reverse!"
Hearing this, Jean felt as if someone had poured cold water on him. After decades of working in politics, he could almost control his emotions. After suppressing the anger in his heart, Jean took a few long breaths before completely calming down.
However, the king's tone was still terrifyingly low, "Tell me, what is the situation?"
Crennan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Please control your emotions. If you lose your mind again in the werewolf state, you may never wake up."
"You don't need to say more, are Tess and Mira okay? I didn't hurt them, did I?!"
"Of course not, Your Majesty, your will overcame the curse and prevented you from completely losing control, but the fierce mental collision also made you faint. When the princess and queen found out, they immediately asked me to bring you here for treatment. "
"That's good...has anyone else seen me like this?"
Crennan shook his head, "Besides me, only the princess and the queen know. Even the guards don't know. They just think you are sick."
Gene had a rough idea of what happened after he fell into coma, but he suddenly thought of what Crennan mentioned, "You said there are other people in the city who have turned into werewolves?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, but the strange thing is that not only the injured people turned into werewolves, but there were also some people who had no wounds, but they still started to change into werewolves, and those wild werewolves also appeared in the city. The guards caught a few."
Gene nodded, "Let Tess and Mira come to see me first."
Crennan hurriedly went to find Princess Tess and Queen Mila, and after receiving the news, Jean's wife and daughter also rushed to the secret room as quickly as possible.
When Tess saw her father waking up, she hugged him regardless of whether Jean was a werewolf or not.
"Father... I thought... I thought you were like those people..."
Tess's voice began to choke. In the past few days, she had seen too many tragedies caused by people turning into werewolves. She was really worried that her father would also turn into that kind of monster.
After hearing Crennan say that Gene still had his own sanity, Tess and Mira ignored the matters they were still dealing with and hurried to the secret room to visit Gene.
Gene wanted to pat Tess on the head, but when he saw his terrifying claws, he hesitated.
"I'm fine, kid. Rather, this weird look makes me feel like I have endless strength. It's like... it's like I'm dozens of years younger."
What Jean said was true. Although the werewolf's curse deprived him of his human appearance, it also made his body surpass that of a normal human, allowing him to once again feel the state of his youth.
However, as the king of Gilneas, there was no way to convince the people to become like this. In addition, citizens in the city were constantly being hurt by werewolves in the dark, and Jean realized that he could not continue like this.
"Is Liam back?"
"Liam hasn't come back yet..." Queen Mira also walked to Jean's side, "But you don't have to worry, Prince Arthas of Lordaeron sent us a message, Liam is with him, very safe."
"Liam went hunting with his father, and his father became like this. When he comes back, I must teach him a lesson!" Tess got angry when she heard Liam's name, although she was usually very angry. She respected her brother, but this time, she was really angry.
"Your brother is not wrong. I can feel it...if he hadn't gone to the depths of the Black Miasma Forest with that kid from Alsace, I'm afraid it would be a question whether I could still maintain my sanity now." Jean shook his head. Transforming into a werewolf made him understand a few things.
The old king turned to Crennan and said, "Thank you for the medicine, old friend. I can keep my last bit of humanity without your help. By the way, will this medicine be useful for other victims?"
"You are too polite, Your Majesty. As for the potion... I can't guarantee that it will be effective for everyone. This potion is not perfect yet. If you don't have a strong will, it may not be effective." Crennan's expression was bitter. After all, he also It's not a god, and it's not a miracle medicine. The current medicine is still missing a very important factor, but he doesn't know which link is wrong.
"Then let's do this for now... I can't see anyone in this state now. Mira, please personally send me the government affairs and documents that need to be processed; Tess, stay with you until your brother comes back. 's mother."
