Chapter 1778 The Alliance Has a Choice

Belissa successfully helped King Greymane suppress the nature of werewolves for a long time, and told him the origin of the werewolf curse: the disastrous consequences caused by a group of night elf druids abusing the wild power given by nature. Hopelessly depraved.

With the death of Arugal, the werewolves summoned by him were also freed. The former Fallen, Lylar, one of the stubborn druids of the claw, claimed to be the leader and organized a wolf cult among the werewolves known as the "Bloodfang Werewolves".

Many Gilneans betrayed their country and joined this secretive organization for a variety of reasons. They operate secretly under the high walls of the Kingdom of Gilneas, spreading the curse to more and more people in an unstoppable way.

When the worgen curse spread more and more, and the people could neither find safety nor escape the wall, Lord Darius Crowley launched a mutiny and attacked the Greymane court in Gilneas City.

He declared that he would overthrow the tyranny of Genn and end the isolation to save Gilneas. This civil war was very bloody and fierce. Although Crowley's army was ultimately defeated by the king and imprisoned, the kingdom also suffered heavy losses due to this internal strife and fell into chaos. The remnants of the resistance are still active throughout the kingdom from time to time, and even hide countless firearms in the capital in an attempt to start a second civil war.

Taking this opportunity, the increasingly powerful alpha wolf Lelar launched a fatal attack on this fragile capital. The Gilneas City Guards and Royal Guards were quickly defeated by the Bloodfang Werewolf offensive. Countless civilians were killed or infected by the curse during this battle.

In desperation, King Zeon freed and pardoned Darius and his soldiers. With the help of his daughter Lorna, the North Gate rebels recovered weapons originally used in the civil war and cut off the rear of the refugees evacuating the capital at the Cathedral of the Dawnlight in Church Square.

Unlike in history, there were no Forsaken attacks on Gilneas in this life. Therefore, after gathering all the troops from across the country and allowing the redeemed werewolves living in Tarondor to join Gilneas, the Bloodfang werewolf attack was defeated. .

In the following years, Gilneas experienced several serious rebellions and coups, which almost drained the kingdom of all its energy.

When the Cataclysm came, Gilneas' economy and people's livelihood finally collapsed.

Originally, Gilneas' land area was almost the smallest among the seven countries, only slightly larger than Alterac. In order to prevent the Alliance from grossly interfering in internal affairs, the most fertile Silverpine Forest territory was abandoned, and the Greymane Wall was built further south against the mountain.

The remaining poor terrain, which is mainly mountainous, is destined to have little food production. Even such a small amount of arable land requires a lot of manpower to cultivate and plant.

The raging werewolves have not only reduced food production, but also made it extremely difficult to hunt in the forest. The Cataclysm did not cause any rifts in Gilneas, which was a blessing among misfortunes. Unfortunately, the earthquake easily destroyed a large number of houses and also destroyed large sections of Gilneas City's walls.

This is simply adding insult to injury.

According to original history, King Zeon was introduced to the Alliance by Archdruid Malfurion and met Varian.

But in this life, Duke felt a little surprised.

"What? Genn Greymane wants to see me? Midnight?" Duke, who happened to be in Nanhai City in the Nanhai City-state for a state visit with Ilucia in the middle of the night, received the news.

Duke was a little unhappy.

"Duke, Jean is a king after all. If you ask for a meeting in the middle of the night, there must be something urgent." Ilucia advised him thoughtfully.

"Okay." Duke launched the 999 combo of Duke's Excalibur in one breath, sending Her Majesty the Queen of Alterac to the sky. After tidying up a little, he saw the tired old Wolf King in the study.

Gene was obviously surprised. He didn't expect Duke to actually be willing to see him in the middle of the night. His mouth was squirming for a long time, but he couldn't say even a single word.

Duke looked at the old Wolf King carefully and suddenly realized that he didn't know how to say he was better.

It is true that as Gene aged, his hair became extremely pale.

Duke felt more comfortable with him.

That Jean back then was a typical political villain. Not only was he fat, but he was also all kinds of bitter and picky. If there are difficulties, they will shrink their eggs. If there is any advantage, they will roll over like a hungry dog ​​after seeing a bone.

Now that he has returned to old age, his appearance has become more capable.

Her white hair is parted sixty-four and hangs down to her chin. The arms were once covered with fat pork, but now only the muscles with the beauty of explosive power remain.

Wearing a tight-fitting black silk suit that highlighted his muscles, and the golden leather armor and leg armor that exposed his shoulders, he completely got rid of the image of a scholar.

Jean, who was once recognized as a scumbag in the first-generation alliance and was only worthy of playing sand piles with Terenas during the war, should now be quite capable in combat.

Duke teased: "Gene, why do I think you are more handsome now than you were then?"

One sentence made Gene's nervousness fly away: Ah! At least Duke isn't too angry with me!

He breathed a sigh of relief: "I can't compare to you! Eternal life and youth."

Duke walked to the wine cabinet: "Would you like something to drink? Ilucia is very rich, you can't stop drinking from her."

This is actually the queen's study, and it was actually specially prepared by Ilucia for Duke to use. Duke considers this place his home.

Gene was a little embarrassed, and he quickly tried to adjust his emotions: "Is there any Alterac gin? I really miss this."

"Of course."

Duke poured the wine and handed Gene the cup.

Jean shook the crystal wine glass, letting the almost rum-like liquid exude a charming aroma in the air, then drank it all in one gulp, and suddenly said: "Oh my God! What on earth was I thinking back then? Because of this?" I was afraid that the Alliance would engulf my country and kept it closed for more than twenty years.”

Duke shrugged: "Aren't you afraid that the current alliance will swallow up Gilneas? You should know that without the Cataclysm, I have already married four queens."

Genn was a little slumped. He didn't even dare to look at Duke. He rubbed the wine glass with his fingers, as if he was reminiscing and hiding his uneasiness: "Whether there is an alliance or not, Gilneas is almost finished. Half of the citizens Turning into a werewolf, the other half is struggling with hunger and panic. I have no choice."

"But the league has a choice!" Duke emphasized.

These words almost froze Gene's heart.

yes!

The Alliance does not have to accept Gilneas.
