Azeroth Trail of Light

Vol 12 Chapter 18: .Prince's Choice

After voluntarily abandoning nearly one-third of the land of Subchelle and Silverpine Forest, Gilneas surrounded by the Greymane Wall looks like an irregular circle, and Gilneas City is located at the most of the circle. central.

This first-class city on the continent was once the pride of Gilneas. It was truly built in the hands of the previous king Archibald Greymane. At that time, Gilneas was a very active commercial country. A coastline that people admire, but most of its commerce is carried out through land channels. It’s not that Gilneans don’t like sailing, but that a special kind of reef grows outside the coastline of Gilneas, the "bite reef." , This reef spreads all over the coast, making it impossible for any ships to enter Gilneas by sea.

But in fact, this is a kind of protection for Gilneas. At least during the second orc war, because of the protection of these reefs, Gilneas is almost the only country that has not been attacked by orcs on a large scale, so in this country , Most people think that the existence of biting the reef is a good thing.

But now, Biting Reef is still protecting this country, but it also hinders the last gleam of new hope for this country.

Everything started six years ago. After the War of the Dead broke out, King Gene Greymane seriously assessed the scale of the entire war. At that time, Gilneas had withdrawn from the Alliance of Human Nations due to sensitive territorial and commercial issues. , And the terrifying scene of Lordaeron being completely captured by the undead within a few months really scared the upper echelons of this country.

In the end, Gene decided to build a wall to protect his citizens. This idea seemed a bit whimsical, but in fact, the special peninsula terrain of Gilneas decided that this was almost a perfect solution to the problem, so the resistance of Lordaeron While still continuing, the Gilneas abandoned them.

This was a difficult decision. Not only did you have to endure the contempt from other human nations, but more importantly, in order to protect the people, King Jean had to abandon one-third of the land outside the Greymane Wall, Sabcher and Silver Pine Forest, Fenmu Village, etc., these places were completely abandoned.

This decision seemed not wrong at the time. After all, the threat of the undead was too terrible, and when the Greymane Wall was built, it was indeed recognized by most of the people. A wall could not destroy a country and truly protect Gil What made Nice was desperate was another matter.

At that time, when the Greymane Wall was completed, King Jean actually had the idea of ​​counterattack, but he could not take risks with his soldiers and citizens, so he chose another trick, the Archmage of Gilneas. Arugal told Gene that he could use his forbidden knowledge called "The Book of Ur" to summon a beast that was ferocious and dangerous enough to guard the Greymane Wall for Gilneas. He repeatedly promised not to After allowing this creature to threaten the citizens inside the wall, Arugal received full support from the royal family.

He succeeded! In Shadowfang Castle outside the abandoned Burning Wood Village, Arugal used taboo knowledge to break the connection between this world and a special location in the Emerald Dream. No one knows how this crappy archmage did it, but He did summon a ferocious beast that forced the undead to retreat.

A terrible monster with a human appearance but full of mane, wolf head, human wisdom and wild beast killing instinct. He called them werewolves. In the beginning, the werewolves obeyed Arugal. Under the command of, they even regained a third of the silver pine forest.

But like a change in all stories, after Arugal summoned a special werewolf, he completely lost control of the werewolf, and even he himself had to succumb to the one who called himself Laila. Under the wild power of the mighty werewolves of El Yahuo.

So the Bloodfang werewolves appeared. Under the leadership of the wolf Laylar, they used Burnwood Village and Shadowfang Castle as their bases to compete with the undead for control of the Silverpine Forest, but soon, Laylar was no longer there. Satisfied with this status quo, as an older existence, he set his sights on the wall for the first time. After that, there was a group of guys who were better to deal with than the undead. It would be Laila. New believers.

When the wolf worshipping first emerged in Gilneas, it did not attract the attention of the royal family. When King Jean began to face this problem squarely, through the werewolf infection, one-half of the land after the Greymane Wall no longer belonged. As long as the skin is pierced by the werewolf's claws, ordinary civilians will not be able to resist the infection, and will soon become a new werewolf. The spread of this "plague" is far more terrifying than the undead natural disasters.

But whether it was Gene or anyone else, it was no longer possible to reverse all of this. The bitter fruit that he planted could only be tasted by himself.

The raindrops in the dark night were a little less, but the howling and cold wind replaced the rain and continued to wreak havoc in this haze city. From a distance, the civilians who had been scared by the beasts running in the darkness of the city were not at all. Dare to go out alone at night, so the entire grand Gilneas city looks like an abandoned ghost town.

The trash on the ground was rolled everywhere by the whining wind, and the signs of the commercial street were constantly swaying in the wind. This is not a suitable weather for traveling, but Rona dressed in a uniform, wearing a black leather windbreaker, riding on a pure The **** war horse, brandishing the whip, allowed the storm to blow the windbreaker of the violent rose backwards, making her look full of heroic temperament.

This is the real Lorna Crowley, no longer the delicate noble lady, inherited the excellent blood and perseverance of the Crowley family, she is more like a commander, a natural general!

More than a dozen black shadows galloped on the roofs on both sides of the street behind her, following Rona like a loyal guard. Any threat from the lady who tried to interrupt the galloping horse would be threatened by them immediately. Clearly, frankly speaking, the werewolves transformed from civilians, whether in strength or combat skills, are far inferior to these elite veterans who took the initiative to accept the blood of the werewolves. Although they have only a dozen people, they were born in Gilneas’ most elite hunting camp. Coupled with the blessing of the werewolf blood, even if there is an army of hundreds of people in front of them, they will definitely not be able to stop their wild assault.

Extraordinary creatures and mortals are never a starting line, remember this!

The violent sound of horseshoes came from the church district, all the way to the Gilneas court. Even in this stormy and troubled autumn, it is still the safest place in Gilneas, so Rona did not bring the werewolf veterans into there. I chose a path.

As a child who grew up here, this heavily guarded court was almost undefended in Rona's eyes. Of course, she wouldn't be crazy enough to assassinate Gene. She came here entirely for another guy.

Prince Liam’s full name is Liam Greymane, the only son of Gene Greymane. If all goes well, Liam will inherit his father’s throne in ten years’ time and become Gilneas’ next term. King, of course, the premise is that this country has a future.

Liam is an energetic young man. As we all know, young people like to think crazy and have impulsive personality. They are easy to do some bad things under the control of emotions. Three days ago, Liam was alone at night. The matter of sneaking out of the palace and dating a certain noble lady was known to the old king, so he is now being banned.

This is undoubtedly the protection of the old king to the prince. The current situation is extremely bad. Even Jean can no longer guarantee the safety of Gilneas. Liam did not sneak away with a guard. The question ignited the anger of the old king, but just after Prince Liam fell asleep in the rainy night, an unusual noise mixed with the guards' exclamation and the sound of smashing things instantly awakened the prince.

The young prince immediately jumped up from the bed, reached out his hand and drew out the sword beside the bed, took his musket from the table with the other hand, pressed it against the wall, and then opened the door to a gap, **** The smell passed into his nose, which made Liam's last sleepiness disappear in an instant.

There was a serious expression on his face. The palace was breached! There is no doubt that it is an assassin!

As a prince, Liam was already familiar with this situation. He did not panic, but walked quickly to the window, looked around, and was about to jump out of the window. Although he was young, Liam He is a good fighter. He is not a kid who grew up in the palace. He has seen no less blood than an veteran, but when he was about to jump out of the window, the door of the room was slammed open.

Rona in riding boots strode into Liam’s room, the spurs behind her heels collided with the ground, making a clear crashing sound. She stretched out her hand and twisted the spar lamp, then put her hands on her shoulders and looked at it with a very cool gesture Liam jumped out of the window. The latter scratched his head, put the sword and musket in his hand on the table, and asked suspiciously.

"Rona? Honey, why are you? What are you doing here? Be careful!"

A werewolf wearing a black blindfold walked into the room from outside the door. This was taken by Liam as a signal of an attack. The young prince rushed towards the werewolf with blood-red anger all over his body, and then fists and sharp blades rang. The prince was not afraid of these werewolves, but just as they were fighting, a soft drink rang out,

"enough!"

Rona jumped into the ring. At this moment, Liam's fist stopped in front of Rona's face. He looked at the werewolf, and the latter respectfully put away his weapon and stood behind Rona. This gesture made Liam He raised his brows. He was not a fool, so he soon knew the hidden identity of Lorna. He looked at his lover bitterly and took a few steps back.

"So what they said is true, Lorna, do you really still have contact with Lord Darius?"

Facing her lover’s question, Rona’s answer was very brief.

"Nonsense! That's my father, Liam, pack up and leave Gilneas with me. This will soon become a battlefield."

"What do you mean?"

The prince's eyes became sharp at this moment, and Lorna swept away the fragility of the noble lady before, and explained impatiently, "The bloodfang werewolf and the moonrage werewolf are about to go to war, Gilneas can't keep it! And Godfrey and him 'S party members are about to set off a rebellion. Maybe you idiot will be used by them, so I will take you away in advance."

"What? Lord Godfrey? How is this possible!"

Liam exclaimed. He subconsciously rushed out of the room to report to his father, but a dozen werewolves blocked his way strictly. He clenched his fist and looked back at that. Lovers who became completely different overnight, lowered their voices, full of a certain kind of betrayed grief,

"What do you mean? Rona, I thought you belonged to us."

"Hey, do you know? Liam, my father is now one of the leaders of the Moonfury Werewolves. I have never been on your side."

Miss Lorna turned around, with a trace of loss and attachment in her eyes that could not be concealed, "I'm sorry I lied to you and Uncle Gene on this matter, but believe me, my feelings for you are true. We grew up together since we were young. I don’t have to lie to you in this matter, you have to follow me!"

"Why! Why? You betrayed our feelings! Rona! You betrayed me! My father is being threatened, and my nation is about to become a victim. Why should I go with you?"

Liam clenched her fists and roared, his eyes flushed, like a sad prince who was truly driven to an end by the world, and Rona faced this kind of questioning, her cheeks flushed at this moment.

"I have your baby."

"what!!!"

Fifteen minutes later, fully armed Liam and Lorna rode together and rushed towards the closed gate of Gilneas City in the dark. There was still a mixture of expressions on the young man’s face, and a trace. With a silly smile, even though Rona told him that she was lying to him when she left the court, these were trivial things for Liam who had already made a decision.

Rona is willing to exchange the reputation of himself and the Crowley family for his recognition. This in itself is a display of the greatest sincerity. What's more, he himself is extremely in love with Rona, and facing the smooth escape route at this time, Liam No matter how slow, he has already guessed something.

"Are you sure my father is aware of Lord Godfrey's rebellion?"

Liam asked in a low voice to Lorna, who was curled up in his arms, who snorted coldly.

"Of course, do you think I can enter the court area with just a dozen people? Uncle Gene acquiesced in all this, he must have known the news of the battle between Bloodfang and Moonfury, and Liam, Haven't you noticed the abnormality of Uncle Gene during this period of time?"

"Huh? How to say?"

"Hey, you fool, I have never lied to you. We have always been on one side. The conflict between my father and Uncle Gene is a matter between them, but when it comes to the survival of Gilneas, neither of them Will be misled by personal feelings. Do you remember the assassination that Uncle Gene suffered a year ago? They said it was done by the Moonfury Werewolf, but it wasn't."

It seemed that because of the cold wind and rain, Lorna tightened her clothes and told Liam who knew nothing about her last secret.

"We are on one side, Liam, we were never enemies."
