Chapter 118 Gilneas Whitewashes the Peace

The closed-door Gilneas Kingdom, due to its isolationist policy, escaped the invasion of the Scourge and fell into a short period of closed prosperity.

The Kingdom of Gilneas, which was originally the third largest among the seven human kingdoms, did not decline because of giving up some of its territory. Instead, its population surged, and it has become the only human kingdom comparable to Stormwind Kingdom and Stormwind Kingdom.

However, this prosperity is actually self-deception. When the Scourge attacked the Greymane Wall, King Genn Greymane of Gilneas once arrogantly sent the army of the Kingdom of Gilneas to fight the Scourge outside the Greymane Wall, but the result was that the whole army was annihilated.

The huge blow and the threat of the Scourge made Genn Greymane take an unconventional approach. He hired Arugal, the mage of the Kirin Tor in Dalaran, as his court mage, and asked the court mage Arugal to summon the werewolves sleeping in the Emerald Dream to deal with the Scourge.

Although these powerful and wild werewolves successfully defeated the undead of the Scourge, they attacked the soldiers of the Kingdom of Gilneas under the drive of wildness.

The court mage Arugal was exiled from Gilneas, so he occupied Shadowfang Fortress to continue to control the werewolves.

But what King Genn didn't know was that due to the attack of the werewolves, the attacked Gilneas soldiers had brought the werewolf curse to the interior of the Kingdom of Gilneas.

Because of the werewolves, people disappeared from time to time and were attacked by unknown creatures, which also made the people of the Kingdom of Gilneas panic, but King Genn suppressed the news of the werewolves as much as possible, and deceived the Gilneans in a fraudulent way that they could prosper forever under the protection of the Greymane Wall.

King Genn's various actions also made the enlightened Lord Darius Crowley very dissatisfied. The contradictions between the two increased, which led to Lord Darius Crowley secretly planning a rebellion.

However, due to the obstruction of Prince Liam, Lord Darius Crowley has not yet launched the famous "North Gate Rebellion".

But this suppression is temporary. As the contradictions intensify, Lord Darius becomes more and more irritable.

In the secluded palace of Prince Liam of the Kingdom of Gilneas, Prince Liam is having a heated discussion with Lord Darius.

"Liam, I understand your idea. You want reforms without blood, but this is impossible. No one knows your father better than me. Genn's brain is as stubborn as a reef." More and more villages are attacked by werewolves, and more and more werewolves appear, but King Genn Greymane of Gilneas has been promoting a false prosperity in the Greymane Palace in Gilneas City, which makes Lord Darius unbearable.

After seeing the vitality of the Kingdom of Stormgarde, Prince Liam realized that his father Genn was wrong and the prosperity of the Kingdom of Gilneas was false.

As for the policy of isolationism and isolationism, when Liam discussed with Garin, Garin used the high elves of the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas as an example to let Prince Liam understand that there is no way out of isolationism and isolationism.

Even the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, which owns the Sunwell, was conquered by the Scourge. The magic shield of the Quel'Thalas defense line could not withstand the huge crisis. What is the Greymane Wall of the Kingdom of Gilneas?

When Prince Liam told his father, King Genn, about the Kingdom of Quel'Thalas, King Genn did not understand the mistakes of isolationism and isolationism as Prince Liam expected. Instead, he said arrogantly, "This can only prove the weakness of the high elves, and that the Thras defense line and magic shield are not as strong as the Greymane Wall."

Is the Greymane Wall really that strong? Are the high elves really that weak?

This is of course impossible.

The attack on the Kingdom of Gilneas was only a small division of the Scourge, and it still wiped out the Greymane Legion that King Genn of the Kingdom of Gilneas was proud of. If the main force of the Scourge came, the Greymane Wall would not be able to resist it at all.

In fact, the Kingdom of Gilneas is even more fragile than Prince Liam imagined. The Forsaken, who inherited less than one-tenth of the Scourge's peak strength, almost destroyed the Kingdom of Gilneas, not to mention the main force of the Scourge sweeping across the northern continent of the Eastern Kingdom?

Moreover, decades of isolation have kept the army of the Kingdom of Gilneas free from war for a long time, resulting in a rapid decline in strength. It can even be said that if the Greymane Legion, which King Genn was proud of and destroyed by the Scourge, fought against the Stromgarde militia of the Kingdom of Stormgarde, the Greymane Legion would be defeated.

Short-sightedness, arrogance, and all kinds of foolish performances appeared in the King of Gilneas, Genn Greymane.

Even if it continues, there is no need for new external enemies to appear, and the werewolves rampant in the Kingdom of Gilneas can destroy this country.

Originally, Prince Liam was also deceived by King Genn and didn't know how far the werewolf curse had developed. It was not until Lord Darius took Prince Liam to witness tens of thousands of werewolves attacking a Gilnean village that Prince Liam realized what was hidden under the whitewashed peace of the Kingdom of Gilneas.

However, the kind-hearted Prince Liam disagreed with Lord Darius's form of coup d'état, because in Prince Liam's view, the Gilneans would fall into fratricide and tens of thousands of Gilnean warriors would die.

But the moderate Prince Liam had no real power at all, and could not convince his father, King Genn. Even his performance aroused King Genn's vigilance, and he sent stalkers to find out who Prince Liam was contacting.

For this reason, Prince Liam had to talk to Lord Darius in secret.

If Lord Darius did not know that Prince Liam was a king who loved his people like his own children and had an open-minded vision, he would not be willing to temporarily give up the rebellion and secretly listen to Prince Liam's opinions.

Prince Liam knew that he could not suppress Lord Darius for long. In the final analysis, he was still a prince without soldiers and power, while Lord Darius was a man of the same era as his father, King Genn, and was the second only to King Genn in the Kingdom of Gilneas.

In order to buy some time temporarily, Prince Liam said, "Lord Darius, do you remember the troops you sent to Lady Jaina Proudmoore?"

"Of course, what's the matter, Prince Liam?" Lord Darius was a little confused when he heard Prince Liam mention the Gilneas Brigade he sent.

Prince Liam took out the map of Silverpine Forest, then pointed to Shadowfang Fortress and said, "Now, that army is in Shadowfang Fortress, under the leadership of Halford Wyrmbane, a high-ranking commander from Stormwind, and launched an attack on the Covenant. It also attacked the Thoradin Wall and Southshore before."
