Azeroth Trail of Light

Lord Godfrey sat on the steps of the Gilneas court area that had calmed down with a sluggish expression, and beside him were Lord Walden and other nobles who were also sluggish.

The soldiers who survived the brutal street fighting also had the same doubts on their faces. They gathered the corpses of their comrades and whispered to each other.

Even among the civilians who helped clean up the battlefield, there was some panic after the disaster, and some excited guys were yelling, no one stopped them, and no one wanted to stop them.

What caused all this was the special reinforcements that joined the battlefield 20 minutes ago, the Northern Legion of Gilneas, a powerful force that had once been famous, nearly nearly Completely wiped out, but they reappeared today, in another capacity!

Werewolves!

And it was the werewolf who appeared with Prince Liam, the prince who almost represented the will of Gilneas, and the werewolves appeared together, which caused a shocking result to the people and soldiers.

The plague of werewolves destroyed Gilneas, but now, it is no exaggeration to say that if the Northern Legion hadn't joined the battlefield at a critical moment, I am afraid that the last line of defense in Gilneas street fighting would have been ruthlessly captured. The werewolves subdued by the Legion saved the entire Gilneas City and the lives of more than 100,000 civilians at the most critical moment.

This kind of thing can't be concealed even if the authorities want to hide it. The survivors of the bloody battle between the Northern Legion and the Bloodfang Werewolf almost all saw it. At that time, it was rare to keep silent.

After all, even the most indifferent person will feel a little grateful to the benefactor who just saved him, even if they are aliens.

But this kind of emotion is fragile. If those civilians who have relatives died in this werewolf invasion, even when they look at those werewolves who are still protecting their Northern Legion, there will be a trace of unconcealable hatred in their eyes. .

All this was seen by King Jin who was also resting on the steps. The old king sighed helplessly. As a ruler, his way of thinking about problems was different from that of ordinary people. The appearance of the Moonrage Werewolf , is not a bad thing for the extremely weak Gilneas. Their appearance gave Gilneas hope to defeat the Bloodfang werewolf, but the whole process is too far away, and the time left for Gilneas is too short up.

The old king tried for 2 years before he allowed some of his trusted confidants to accept the existence of Moonfury, but it also split the noble class. Lord Godfrey's rebellion is the best example.

Until today, at the moment when Gilneas City was about to be captured, Jinn had truly made up his mind.

Gilneas cannot just be destroyed like this, Bloodfang is the real confidant, accepting the Moonrage werewolf is imperative, if anyone wants to interrupt this process

Jean's eyes flicked over the backs of Lord Godfrey and his henchmen. He shook his head, sat up from the ground, and prepared to go to the north gate of Gilneas City, where Liam was leading the north gate. The Legion expelled those Bloodfang werewolves, they undoubtedly needed assistance, and if no one else would go, then he alone would.

While he still has prestige, pave the way for Liam early, his son is the real future of Gilneas.

But when King Jean walked past Godfrey, the sound transmission stone in the Lord's arms jumped up quickly at this moment, Godfrey's expression changed, and he held the sound transmission stone in his hand. The sound transmission stone that communicated with Kul Tiras and the combined fleet of the Kingdom of Stormwind, which is anchored off the coast of Gilneas, has now failed in his attempt to force the palace. Is that combined fleet planning to forcefully attack Gilneas?

Are they going to start another war on this continent?

Godfrey's face became gloomy. Even if he wanted to oppose Jinn, it was out of consideration for the overall situation of Gilneas. He would love this country no less than Jinn. If Kul Tiras and the Storm Kingdom Godfrey is not afraid to fight them to the last drop of blood if the fleet wants to attack by force, but the current situation

Godfrey opened the sound transmission stone, and before he could ask, a sharp voice jumped into his ears,

"Lord Godfrey, I'm Gnomeregan Air Force Commander Fitzrank. The Naga have invaded your coast. There are a lot of them. They are rushing inland quickly. Get ready for battle!"

"What?!"

Godfrey sat up from the steps abruptly, and his voice became urgent, "Where's the fleet? Didn't the United Fleet stop them? Are you just letting the Naga invade Gilneas?"

"The fleet. The fleet is gone, our entire army is wiped out! 8,000 soldiers. All. Terrible! Can't escape!"

"boom!"

There was a scream and an explosion sound from the sound transmission stone, and immediately after, the sound transmission stone in his hand turned into gray-white powder and fell from the palm of his hand.

Lord Godfrey's face was extremely pale at this moment. After Walden slapped him awake, Godfrey pushed away everyone in front of him and rushed towards Jean who had already mounted his horse.

"Wait! Your Majesty, wait!"

Gene heard the shout, he reined in the horse, looked back at Godfrey, the great lord didn't care about the coldness in Gene's eyes, he rushed to Gene's side, trembling all over, lowered his voice,

"Naga. Naga landed from the southern coast and invaded massively. The combined fleet of Kul Tiras and the Storm Kingdom was wiped out!"

"What?"

Hearing the bad news, Jean's body shook immediately. Even though the old king's will was as strong as steel, at this moment, he almost felt despair.

In front is the unstoppable Bloodfang werewolf, and behind is the deep sea naga who are taking advantage of the fire. The whole country has completely turned into a pot of porridge. Gilneas, is it really about to perish?

"Look at what you've done!"

Gene was helped down from the horse by his attendants. He said this sentence almost through gritted teeth. It wasn't that he lost his mind and blamed all the bad luck on Godfrey. Both of them knew what Gene said What means.

In order to push the palace smoothly this time, Godfrey took the risk of withdrawing part of the army that was originally guarding the last civilian gathering place in the southwestern part of Gilneas and entered Gilneas City. This behavior was originally nothing. Frey was somewhat thankful that he had made preparations in advance, but now, the Naga was advancing from the southern coastline to the inland of Gilneas. Without these soldiers who originally guarded the south, the Gilnean civilian gathering area became precarious.

That's more than 120W civilians!

If one fails, Gilneas will be completely destroyed! This terrible consequence made Godfrey break out in cold sweat all over his body. Before Gene could issue an order, Godfrey turned and walked towards his soldiers. He wanted to bring the army back to the defense immediately. The southern defense line was pulled back by Gene,

"Bastard! Listen to me!"

The old king was like a really angry lion at this time, the strength in his hands was astonishing, Lord Godfrey turned his head, and heard Jean lower his voice,

"Go and contact Lordaeron's army for me, let them enter Gilneas as quickly as possible, find Liam, the Moonrage Werewolf is hiding explosives in the Flint Mine, go and blast the Greymane Wall for me Make it clear to the bastards of Lordaeron, help Gilneas survive this disaster, even if I die! That was my mistake, don't let my country be destroyed! Go to Quel'Thalas The elves, go find the dwarves, I don't care what you do! Before I die in battle, drive the bloodfang werewolves into the Silverpine Forest!"

Godfrey looked at Gene, he stammered and asked,

"Then you. Are you ready to go"

"I'm going to the southern defense line!"

Gene got on the horse again, he held the rein, his face was full of determination and determination, "Godfrey, think about it for yourself, in the current situation, do you still have to cling to that stupid way and continue to stick to it?" I will not let a naga get past the line before I die, I will give you the maximum time, Godfrey! You listen to me, this is your last chance, as the king of Gilneas I order you, the Bloodfang werewolf must be driven out of Gilneas, leaving the people with a final habitat!"

"Gilneas can perish, but not in our hands!"

Gene took the long sword handed over by the attendant, and he took one last look at Godfrey, "Go do what you should do."

The next moment, the king's voice spread throughout the entire battlefield, sonorous and powerful, like a sharp knife that was truly unsheathed,

"Warriors of Gilneas, I know you are tired, I know you need to rest, and so do I. But we can't rest, the enemy in the south is approaching the last gathering place, and our defense line may collapse at any time, so, willing Follow me to those who stand with me in defense of our beloved country."

Gene paused.

"I can't guarantee that we will win, but at least until I die on the front line, I will not let any enemy hurt my people. If I really want to die, I will be the first!"

"Today, I, Jean Greymane, will feast with you in hell!"

After finishing speaking, Gene no longer cared about the stunned nobles and soldiers. He took the last soldiers of the Guards and hurried to the south gate of Gilneas, and then rushed to the battlefield from there. Everyone was frightened by Gene's speech In a flash, from the founding of Gilneas to the present, there has been no king who died in battle in hundreds of years, but everyone saw His Majesty Jinn in today's battle, and maybe he wasn't joking.

When the king of a country has made up his mind to fight to the death on the battlefield to defend his motherland and territory, who else would spare his life?

The first soldier stood up, his face was covered with blood, just from the standing posture, he could see his exhaustion, but when he limped and chased in the direction where the king left, everyone present All men know what to do.

The second, the third, and soon, all the soldiers who were still able to move joined the silent team. An indescribable tragedy and bravery made everyone who watched all this feel like crying, There are also husbands, fathers, and even old grandfathers among the rescued civilians. They reached out to hug their wives, kissed their children, waved goodbye to their loved ones, picked up weapons from the ground, and even raised their arms. Holding sticks, after the soldiers, enter bravely into it.

Godfrey, Walden, and those nobles who were already extremely dissatisfied with Jean's rule stood behind the crowd. The expressions on their faces were no longer as firm as before. Some people looked at their hands , It seems that I only realized now what I had done.

"click"

The musket in Lord Walden's hand was loaded, he gritted his teeth, and was the first to walk out of the group of nobles, walking in the direction where Jean left.

"Walden, you"

Godfrey's voice made the former traveler pause for a moment, he looked back at Lord Godfrey, grinned, showing a relaxed smile,

"Godfrey, I figured out that we have done nothing wrong, but His Majesty Jean has done nothing wrong, but when the most terrifying war comes, right and wrong are meaningless. Goodbye, my friends, I want to To fulfill the promise the Walden family made to this land, if we are lucky... see you after the war!"

After finishing speaking, the always taciturn veteran gave a standard military salute to everyone, then turned his head and strode forward,

"Grey Wolf Hunters, assemble, we will fight for Gilneas! We will shed our last drop of blood for this country!"

Walden's actions were like the last straw that crushed the nobles on Godfrey's side. The nobles who are willing to follow Godfrey to force the palace are all deeply in love with this country. Having fled the city, only true devotees will remain in this hell.

The second nobleman saluted them, then left with his private soldiers, the third, the fourth and finally, only Godfrey was left.

The great lord who once hated werewolves the most stretched out his hand and saw the wound on his arm that was scratched by the bloodfang werewolf. He knew that he would soon become the creature he hated the most.

At this moment, Godfrey felt that fate had played a big joke on himself. There were only two roads left in front of him, the left one was to pursue self-salvation, and the right one was to fall for everything he was willing to sacrifice. into the dark.

In the end he gave a wry smile, threw the poison he had been holding into the sewer far away, knelt on one knee in the direction where Gene left, then raised his head, and took two new spears from the attendant. Sword, turned on his horse, and galloped in the opposite direction to them, not fleeing or fearing, he had more important things to do.

Let go of all pride, unite those opponents you have always despised, pray for a ruler who hates Gilneas to the extreme, and leave the last glimmer of hope for Gilneas, which is on the verge of subjugation.

Frankly speaking, this is much harder than suicide.
