After giving up nearly a third of the territory of sabchert and silver pine forest, gilness surrounded by the wall of greymann is like an irregular circle, and gilness city is located in the center of the circle.
This first-class city on the mainland used to be the pride of the Guinness people. It was really built in the hands of the last king, akibad graemen. At that time, Guinness was a very active commercial country. Although it had an enviable coastline, its commerce was mostly carried out by land channels. It does not mean that the Guinness people did not like navigation, But outside the coastline of gilness, there is a special kind of reef, "biting reef", which spreads all over the coast, making it impossible for any ship to enter gilness by sea.
But in fact, it was a kind of protection for gilness. At least in the second Orc war, gilness was almost the only country that was not attacked by the orcs because of the protection of these reefs. Therefore, most people in this country thought that the existence of biting reefs was a good thing.
But now, biting reef is still protecting the country, but it also hinders the last glimmer of hope for the country's rebirth.
It all started six years ago. After the war of the dead broke out, King gene graemen seriously assessed the scale of the whole war. At that time, gilness had withdrawn from the League of Nations for sensitive territorial and commercial issues, and the terrible scene that Lordaeron was completely captured by the dead within a few months really scared the upper class of the country.
In the end, Gene decided to build a wall to protect his people. This idea seemed whimsical, but in fact, the special Peninsula terrain of gilness decided that it was almost the perfect solution to the problem, so the gilnese abandoned them while the resistance of Lordaeron continued.
It was a difficult decision, not only to endure contempt from other human countries, but more importantly, in order to protect the people, King gene had to abandon one third of the territory outside the wall of graemen, saber Cher and silver pine forest, burning wood village and so on, which were completely abandoned.
This decision was not wrong at that time. After all, the threat of the undead was too terrible. When the greymann wall was built, it was recognized by most of the people. A wall could not destroy a country. It was another thing that really drove gilness into a desperate situation.
At that time, after the completion of the construction of the wall of graemen, King Jean still had the idea of counterattack, but he could not risk his soldiers and people, so he chose another method. Arugo, the great mage of gilness, told jean that he could summon a fierce and dangerous beast by virtue of the taboo knowledge in his hand called the book of ur, To guard the gremian wall for gilness. After repeatedly assuring that this creature would not threaten the people in the wall, arugo received full support from the royal family.
He made it! In the shadow tooth Castle outside the abandoned burning wood village, arugo uses taboo knowledge to break up the connection between this world and a special position in the emerald dream. No one knows how this poor mage did it, but he did summon a ferocious beast that the dead had to retreat.
He called them werewolves. At first, the werewolves obeyed arugo. Under his command, they even recaptured a third of the silver pine forest.
But like all the stories will happen, after arugo summoned a special werewolf, he completely lost control of the werewolf, even he himself, had to yield to the wild power of the powerful werewolf who called himself Lyra Yahuo.
So the blood tooth werewolf appeared. Under the leadership of the head wolf lailar, they took burning wood village and shadow tooth castle as their bases, and fought with the undead for the control of Yinsong forest. But soon, lailar was no longer satisfied with this situation. As a more ancient existence, he focused on the wall for the first time. After that, There's a group of guys who are better than the undead. They're going to be the new believers of lyrael.
When the wolf worship religion just rose in gilness, it did not attract the attention of the royal family. When King gene began to face up to this problem, half of the land behind the greymann wall no longer belonged to him through the werewolf infection. As long as the skin was cut by the werewolf's claws, ordinary civilians could not resist the infection and would soon become a new werewolf, The speed of this "plague" is far more terrible than the natural disaster of the dead.
But no matter gene, or others, have been unable to reverse all this, the bitter fruit planted by themselves, can only be tasted by themselves.
The rain in the night is less, but the howling cold wind takes over the rain and continues to wreak havoc in this city full of haze. From a distance, the civilians who have been scared by the wild animals running in the dark of the city dare not go out alone at night, so the whole grand gilness City looks like an abandoned ghost city.
The whistling wind blows the garbage on the ground rolling everywhere, and the signs of the commercial street are constantly swaying in the wind. This is not a suitable weather for travel, but Rona, dressed in a military uniform, is wearing a black leather windbreaker, riding on a pure blood horse, waving a whip, and allowing the storm to blow the violent rose windbreaker back, Let her whole person look full of heroic temperament.
This is the real Rona Crowley. She is no longer the delicate noble lady. She inherits the excellent blood and perseverance of the Crowley family. She is more like a commander and a born general!
More than a dozen black shadows gallop on the rooftops on both sides of the street behind her. They follow Rona like loyal guards. Any threat from the young lady who tries to interrupt the galloping horse will be cleared by them at the first time. Frankly speaking, the werewolf changed by civilians is far less powerful than these elite veterans who actively accept the blood of the werewolf, Although there are only a dozen of them, they were born in the most elite hunting camp in gilness. With the blessing of werewolf blood, even if there is an army of hundreds in front of them, they will never be able to stop their wild raids.
Extraordinary creatures and mortals are never the same starting line. Remember that!
Fierce hoof sound from the church area, all the way straight to the gilness palace, even in this troubled autumn, it is still the safest place in gilness, so Rona did not take the werewolf veterans into there, but chose a path.
As a child growing up here, this heavily guarded palace is almost undefended in Rona's eyes. Of course, she is not crazy enough to assassinate gene. She came here for another guy.
Prince Liam's full name is Liam graemen, the only son of gene graemen. If everything goes well, Liam will inherit his father's throne and become the next king of gilness in more than ten years. Of course, if the country has a future.
Liam is a vigorous young man. As we all know, young people are fond of wishful thinking and impulsive. They are easy to do some bad things under the control of emotions. Three days ago, Liam sneaked out of the palace alone at night and dated a noble sister. The old king knew about it, so he is now banned.
There is no doubt that this is the old king's protection for the prince. Now the situation has been extremely bad. Even gene can no longer guarantee the safety of gilness. Liam's sneaking away without a guard undoubtedly ignited the old king's anger. However, just after Prince Liam fell asleep in the rainy night, An unusual noise mixed with the shouts of the guards and the sound of smashing things woke the prince up instantly.
The young prince immediately jumped up from the bed, reached out and pulled out the sword on the side of the bed. With the other hand, he picked up his firearm from the table and pressed it against the wall. Then he opened the door and the smell of blood came into his nose, which made Liam's sleep disappear in an instant.
There was a serious expression on his face... The court was broken! Assassin, no doubt!
As a prince, Liam has been familiar with this situation for a long time. Instead of being flustered, he quickly walked to the window, looked left and right, and was ready to jump out of the window. Although he was young, Liam was a good fighter. He was not a child who grew up in the Palace. He saw no less blood than a veteran, But just as he was about to jump out of the window, the door of the room was slammed open.
Rona strode into Liam's room in her riding boots. The Spurs behind her heel collided with the ground, making a clear sound. She reached out and turned on the crystal lamp. Then she put her hands on her shoulders and looked at Liam jumping down from the window in a very cool posture. The latter scratched her head and put her sword and musket on the table,
"Rona? Honey, how are you? What are you doing here? You... Be careful! "
The wolf man with black blindfold walked into the room from the door. Liam took it as a signal of attack. The young prince rushed towards the wolf man with blood red anger all over his body, and then his fists and sharp blades sounded. The prince was not afraid of these werewolves, but just as they were fighting, a soft drink sounded,
"Enough!"
Rona jumps into the battle circle. At this moment, Liam's fist stops in front of Rona's face. He looks at the werewolf, who respectfully puts away his weapon and stands behind Rona. This gesture makes Liam's eyebrows pick. He is not a fool, so he soon knows Rona's hidden identity. He looks at his lover bitterly, A few steps back.
"So what they said is true, Rona. Are you still connected with Lord dalius?"
In the face of her lover's question, Rona's answer is very short,
"Nonsense! That's my father... All right, Liam, pack up and leave gilness with me. It's going to be a battlefield soon. "
"What do you mean?"
The prince's eyes became sharp at this moment. Rona swept away the weakness of the noble lady before and explained impatiently, "the blood tooth werewolf and the moon rage werewolf are about to go to war. Gilness can't keep it! And Godfrey and his party members are about to set off a rebellion. Maybe they will use you as a fool, so I will take you away ahead of time. "
"What? Lord Godfrey? How can it be
Liam exclaimed. He was about to rush out of the room subconsciously and report to his father. But a dozen werewolves blocked his way. He clenched his fist and looked back at the lover who had become completely different overnight. He lowered his voice and was full of some kind of betrayal,
"What do you mean? Rona, I thought you were on our side
"Ah... Do you know? Liam, my father is now one of the leaders of the moon fury werewolf. I've never been on your side
Miss Rona turned around. There was a trace of loss and attachment in her eyes. "I'm sorry I cheated you and uncle gene on this matter, but believe me, my feelings for you are true. We grew up together. In this matter, I don't have to cheat you. You have to go with me!"
"Why! For what? You betrayed our feelings! Rona! You betrayed me! My father is being threatened, and my people are about to become victims. Why should I go with you? "
Liam clenched his fists and roared. His eyes were red, just like a sad prince who was really driven by this world. When Rona faced this kind of question, her cheek was red at this moment,
"I have your child."
"Ah
Fifteen minutes later, fully armed Liam and Rona ride together and rush into the closed gate of gilness in the dark. There are still mixed expressions and a silly smile on the young man's face. Although Rona told him that she was cheating him when she left the court, for Liam, who has made a decision, These are small things.
Rona is willing to use her and the crore family's reputation in exchange for his recognition, which is the most sincere display in itself. What's more, he is very fond of Rona, and in the face of the smooth escape road at this time, Liam has already guessed something even if he is slow.
"Are you sure my father is aware of Lord Godfrey's rebellion?"
Liam whispered to Rona, who was curled up in his arms. The latter snorted coldly,
"Of course, or do you think I can enter the palace district all the way with just a dozen people? Uncle gene acquiesced in all this. He must have known the news of the war between blood tooth and moon fury for a long time, and... Liam, don't you realize the abnormality of Uncle gene in this period of time? "
"Well? What do you say? "
"Ah... You fool, I've never cheated you. In fact, we are always on one side. The contradiction between my father and uncle gene is a matter between them. However, they will not be misled by personal feelings when it comes to the survival of gilness. Do you remember the assassination of Uncle gene one year ago? They said it was done by the moon fury werewolf... It wasn't
It seems that because of the cold wind and rain, Rona tightens her clothes and tells Liam the last secret,
"We're on one side, Liam. We've never been enemies."
