Chapter 119 Gunther Acanus

"Your Majesty, there is a letter from the Kingdom of Gilneas, and it seems to be written to you by Prince Liam." General Varokal, a close confidant of Garin, sent a secret letter to the Kingdom of Trollbane in Stromgarde and handed it to Garin.

Looking at the letter in his hand, it was indeed from Liam. Garin asked in confusion, "Liam? What's wrong with him?"

Although Garin had placed a bet on Liam before, Liam seemed to disappear after returning to Gilneas. Except that Lord Darius sent a part of the Gilneas Brigade to participate in the previous battle to ambush Arthas in Tirisfal Glades, nothing else happened, not even the North Gate Rebellion.

Just when Garin was almost disappointed with the Kingdom of Gilneas and Liam, Liam sent a letter.

After tearing open the letter, Garin went from being careless at first to being surprised later.

"Hahaha! It seems that I underestimated Liam. He is much smarter than I thought, smarter than that guy Genn, although he lacks iron-blooded decision-making." In fact, what Garin most hopes Liam to do is to assassinate his father directly like Garin did before, and peacefully transition to Genn Greymane's closed-door rule over the Kingdom of Gilneas by killing his father (tradition?).

This method can be said to be the most peaceful and the least bloody, because no one will doubt Liam, and with the support of Lord Darius and the Greymane family, Liam can quickly control the entire Kingdom of Gilneas.

However, Liam is too kind and lacks iron-bloodedness, so he can't do the act of killing his father.

However, Liam's letter changed Garin's impression of Liam. His cheap prince childhood friend is also a king with high wisdom.

So Garin gave up his original plan to counterattack the Alliance, and instead handed over the Arathi Highlands to Marshal Oslet and Princess Jialiya. He and General Varokal led 5,000 elite Thoras cavalrymen to leave Stromgarde and head for Hillsbrad Foothills.

The Stromgarde Cavalry also received an honorary number, which is the Thoras Cavalry, named after Thoras Trollbane, the former king of the Kingdom of Stormgarde.

The Thoras Cavalry has not experienced a battle since its expansion, and this time Garin decided to take them with him.

After arriving in Hillsbrad Foothills, Garin dispatched the Scarlet Crusade of Southshore Town, the Syndicate of Alterac City, and the human mages of Old Dalaran, and after gathering nearly 20,000 troops, he headed west into Silverpine Forest.

After entering Silverpine Forest, Garin did not rush to attack the Alliance Seventh Legion in Shadowfang Keep, but stationed in Ambermill.

Ambermill was originally a town in the Kingdom of Gilneas, but after Genn Greymane built the Greymane Wall, he gave up Ambermill and the town was directly annexed by the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

When the Scourge was rampant, Ambermill was lucky to escape the attack of the Scourge, and the blood elf prince Kael'thas Sunstrider also fought against the Scourge here for a short period of time.

Now that the Kingdom of Stormgard is protecting this place, the people of Ambermill did not resist Garin's troops at all, but cheered for Garin's arrival.

As a town that is tossed between three human kingdoms, the residents of Ambermill have seen it through, and they are willing to follow whoever can provide them with shelter.

Garin's enemy this time is the Alliance Seventh Legion occupying Shadowfang Keep and Pyrewood Village. It is not so easy to capture the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack Shadowfang Keep with only 20,000 troops.

Therefore, Sepulcher's 20,000 Forsaken troops went south at the same time. Sepulcher is located in the northwest of Silverpine Forest, hidden in the ridge of the Silverpine Mountains. The symbol there is a huge crypt and a cemetery surrounded by a large number of abandoned buildings.

The leader of this Forsaken army is the Forsaken Archmage Gunther Arcanus, who has the title of Lich.

Many people may be unfamiliar with this Forsaken Archmage, but he is extremely powerful. Gunther Arcanus was a human mage in the Kirin Tor of Dalaran. He died in the battle led by the Death Knight Arthas to attack Dalaran, and was then resurrected as an undead.

The most powerful thing is that Archmage Gunther Arcanus is the first and only undead who escaped the control of the Lich King by relying on his own will and strength in the early days.

Even the Dark Queen Sylvanas Windrunner and Archbishop Alonsus Faol have not been able to do it, but this little-known archmage has done it!

Although he has the title of Lich, Gunther Arcanus has not been transformed into a lich, but a normal undead state. The reason why he got this title is because of his powerful strength.

There are not many necromancers among the Forsaken. There is only one archmage, Bisso, who is loyal to the Forsaken. Bisso happens to be a good friend of Gunther Arcanus. At the invitation of the Forsaken Archmage Bisso, Gunther Arcanus joined the Forsaken.

However, in the game, Blizzard obviously forgot about this Forsaken Archmage who escaped the control of the Lich King with his own strength and will, so Gunther Arcanus has remained on the island in the center of the Clearwater Lake in Tirisfal Glades.

In the game, Gunther Arcanus was forgotten by Blizzard, but in reality, Dark Queen Sylvanas sent Gunther Arcanus to Sepulcher in Silverpine Forest to help Garin after both he and Highlord Nathanos sent troops.

"It is a great honor to meet you, King Garin." Gunther Arcanus, the powerful Forsaken Archmage, was unexpectedly respectful after meeting Garin. It stands to reason that every strong man would have his own arrogance, let alone the Forsaken with a weird temper.

The reason why Gunther Arcanus was like this was because Garin took the Forsaken into the Covenant against all odds.

As Gunther Acanus, he understood the pain of the Forsaken, who were not trusted by the living. They hated themselves, but as the king of Stormgarde, Garin was determined to protect the Forsaken despite the holy war, which made Gunther Acanus respect Garin, so he was willing to go south to help Garin.

If someone respects me, I will respect him. Garin responded enthusiastically, "I am also very honored, Gunther Acanus, and I hope we can cooperate happily in the next battle."

Garin's respect left Gunther Acanus with more goodwill, because Gunther Acanus could clearly perceive that Garin did not reject or hate the Forsaken at all.

What the Forsaken need most is respect and recognition. They can swear allegiance to these two reasons, and Garin, with the perspective of a traverser, may be one of the few people who can really do this.
