83 [Rescue Gilneas]
The news came from the rear.
King Gene Gremaine asked the alliance to extend a helping hand to Gilness through this catastrophe.
His words were extremely earnest, which showed that the Kingdom of Gilness had reached a critical survival. Otherwise, this arrogant king who had always been incompatible with the alliance and pursued isolationism would not have brought down his old face.
The Dalaran Mage who sent the news also handed over a letter written by Arthas to Orix.
He expanded and looked.
It turned out that Alsace had learned about the battle situation here, and affirmed his contribution to this battle and the great effect of such dangerous combat plans on the entire Northland situation. Then the topic changed...
He wanted to do his best to provide assistance to the Kingdom of Gilness while ensuring that the pass was not lost and that the corpse tide in Gilness could not flow into the Silver Pine Forest.
After reading the letter, he vaguely felt Arthas' intention, as if he wanted to take this opportunity to repair his relationship with Gilness, and perhaps even want to reintroduce it into the alliance.
This demeanor made Orix couldn't help but sigh.
It seems that Arthas inherited his father's broad mind and long-term vision. If he wants to fight against the Scourge, or even the Burning Legion, the common enemy of all mankind and all Azeroth, he cannot worry about the past grudges.
"What is the order of His Majesty the King?" asked Alexandros Moglani, who was standing beside him.
"Your Majesty wants us to help as much as possible," said Orix.
“Do everything you can to provide assistance…”
Moglani shook his head, the meaning in his words was self-evident. We are still unable to take care of ourselves, so what can we do to help Gilness?
The regular Lordaeron army was far away in the middle of Hillsbrad, hundreds of kilometers away from the pass. It took half a month to reach the Silver Pine Forest, and then it would encircle and suppress corpses to ensure that no corpses sneaked into Hillsbrad and brought the plague into Lordaeron.
Before the crisis is announced to be lifted, the Silver Hand must stick here and bear the attack of corpse tides from both north and south.
Although Dalaran helps, at least thousands of elite soldiers will come to support through the teleportation channel in the next few days, and the situation will be much better, but it will definitely be an arduous battle.
——We are all too busy to take care of ourselves, so what can we do to help Gilness?
Orix handed over the letter directly and said, "Your Majesty seems to be interested in repairing his relationship with Gilness. I think... the so-called aid also includes 'symbolic aid'."
He had long understood the implication of Arthas. He wanted him to go to the royal city of Gilnes as a "symbolized assistance."
The saints of the Holy Light Church came in person at the hands of the king. No matter what, no one could regard this as perfunctory.
Gene Greymann has many shortcomings, but he will not understand the fact that Lordaeron cannot provide substantial assistance, nor will he not understand the situation in the North, and will definitely understand the intention of Alsace to send Orix.
After reading the letter, Moglani also understood and nodded, "Okay, I understand what Your Majesty meant. How many people do you want to take away?"
Orix pondered: "How about the fifty people who fought with me before? Or... just select twenty people from it."
Moglani gritted his teeth, "Although everyone is important, I think Pass Defence has no need to be petty for the difference between just a few dozen people. Take them away. If there are fewer people, it is not easy for you to act there."
Things are decided.
Orix informed Bridget to assemble the fifty young paladins, and then asked Gianna to open a portal to the Gilnys royal city for herself.
This trip also happened to complete the task of Book of Time.
But this time, the transmission channel has been set up a lot longer.
The Northern Pass and the Gilnis Royal City are both far away from the Magic Net nodes, and there is not much Magic Net energy to extract, which is much more difficult than the last time.
The passage is only set up at noon.
Just as Orix was about to embark on his journey to Gilness, he was stopped by Dalius Crore.
"Saint, I have a heartless request."
"Great Lord, please tell me"
Dalius sighed, "It's my daughter, Rona Crore, I want to ask you to help me find her trace."
Orix blinked, quite puzzled.
Dalius is the great lord in the north of Gilness. As long as the land outside the wall of Gremneman is his fiefdom. How could Rona Crore, the daughter of his father, run to Gilness without staying in her father's castle?
"That's right. A few days ago, she went to attend a banquet hosted by Princess Tess, but due to the outbreak of the plague, she was blocked by the tide of corpses and lost contact with me. I was very worried about her, but the matter in the north made me unable to escape, so I would like to ask you to help me find her, at least... bring me her news. Of course, it would also be related if the saints were unwilling to care about it." The father's eyes were full of worries.
Well, it turned out to be a princess party. It was a coincidence... Orix nodded and said, "Please rest assured, I will do my best."
While speaking, he couldn't help thinking that around 28 years of the Black Gate, when the catastrophe occurred, Princess Tess Greymann of the Kingdom of Gilnes and Rona Crore, the daughter of the Great Lord, seemed to be in her twenties.
They are famous heroines in Gilness.
So how old are they now at the end of the 19th year of the Heimen Calendar?
Fourteen or fifteen years old?
Twelve or 3 years old?
Well... I probably haven't grown up yet, right?
"Thank you, the Crore family will always remember this kindness." Dalius nodded deeply.
...
Before leaving, Orix took the relics of the great wizard Arugao.
This trip has another purpose. If Gene Gremaine still has fantasies about summoning werewolfs and resisting the Scourge, he must remind the king that dissuading this terrible act that is tantamount to playing with fire and burning himself.
He didn't want the werewolf curse to spread throughout the North.
After half a day of rest, the Paladins also recovered their strength. After everything was ready, Orix took them into the exit to make the portal of the Gilnis Palace.
According to investigations, the survivors of the Gilness Royal City gathered there.
The feeling of dizziness suddenly came. Fortunately, it was not the first time that everyone had boarded the portal, and nothing embarrassing happened.
As soon as he left the portal, the shouts of killing came to his face.
The palace was full of corpses, and blood flowed into a river. The dark clouds were pressed against the city, and the fires surged into the sky in the empty city, and the black smoke penetrated into the sky. The air was filled with the smell of burnt corpses. The smell of blood and the smell of gunpowder smoke mixed into a strange smell, which made people feel nauseous.
Walking zombies surrounded the gate of the palace, shaking the hollowed-out luxurious iron door.
Under the command of a young man with extraordinary temperament, the exhausted Royal Guard stepped on the sticky black blood that had passed through his ankles and piled up all kinds of debris behind the door for support.
There are also soldiers who use long-handled weapons to stab and kill zombies at a safe distance through the iron gate, but for the tide of corpses that are beyond the limit at first sight, the slow and pitiful killing speed is completely useless.
The young man noticed Orix and his group, and looked happy. He was about to come forward to greet him, when a large number of zombies suddenly emerged behind the nearby high wall, and then fell into the courtyard like dumplings.
