Chapter 120 Direct Defection
"Garin Trollbane actually came in person?" Halford Wymbane, the senior commander of the Seventh Legion, was stunned. The title of God Killer Garin Trollbane, even in Kalim Theramore has also been widely circulated. In addition, Garin defeated the King of Stormwind City Varian Wrynn before, making Garin known as the first warrior of mankind.
Throughout the time that Garin led the army, he had never been defeated even when faced with the arrogant Scourge Legion. The Fordagon Legion, the strongest in the alliance, was also blocked on the other side of the Sardo Bridge.
This made the senior commander Halford Wymbane be on guard. Such a powerful and victorious king was not so easy to deal with.
The port built by the Seventh Legion to provide a landing for the Alliance was located to the west of Burningwood Village. This forced senior commander Halford Wymbane to first try to defend in Burningwood Village, and then return to Shadowfang Castle to defend it if it failed. .
So senior commander Halford Wymbane personally led his cronies to form a defense line.
However, just as senior commander Halford Wymbane was taking personal command, two fleets with different flags sailed to the port where the Seventh Army of the Western Alliance had just been established in Burning Wood Village.
These two fleets were not flying the flag of the Alliance, so the soldiers of the Seventh Legion were on alert.
However, when the two fleets approached, the soldiers of the Seventh Legion instantly recognized where the two fleets came from, that is, the Kingdom of Kul Tiras and the Kingdom of Gilneas.
Senior Commander Halford Wymbane's 7th Legion force is composed of the Kul Tiran Navy and the Gilnean War Brigade.
When they saw that it was their country's fleet, the soldiers of the Seventh Legion would naturally not stop them from landing at the port of Fenmu Village.
The new admirals of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras are Tanred Proudmoore and Lucille Waycrest.
Prince Liam and Lord Darius Crowley of the Kingdom of Gilneas stepped off the flagship respectively.
After seeing each other, they nodded.
Lucille Waycrest is the daughter of Lord Arthur Waycrest, the current patriarch of the Waycrest family, one of the four major families in Kul Tiras.
The Waycrest family has always been a staunch supporter of the Proudmoore family. After Tanred Proudmoore succeeded as the admiral of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras, Lord Arthur Waycrest immediately expressed his support and Allegiance.
Lord Arthur Waycrest's wife, Lady Meredith Waycrest, actively recommended her only daughter, Lucille Waycrest, to the new Admiral Tanred Proud. Demol wanted to bring the two of them into marriage in exchange for the Waycrest family's rise again.
It is for this reason that Lucille Waycrest accompanied Admiral Tarred Proudmoore on this voyage.
"I am Tanred Proudmoore, the new admiral of Kul Tiras. Warriors of Kul Tiras, salute your new admiral!" the new admiral Tanred said loudly. The soldier of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras in the 7th Legion swears his identity as the Admiral of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras.
The Kul Tiran soldiers in the Seventh Legion naturally knew the young prince of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras. When they heard that Tanred had become the admiral of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras, There were no surprises. After all, Admiral Daelin was dead, the eldest prince Drake had also died in the battle, and Jaina was convicted of treason. Then the only heir to Kul Tiras was Tanred Pro. Demoor.
Therefore, the Kul Tiran soldiers of the 7th Legion paid tribute to their new Admiral Tanred with the highest courtesy.
Unlike Tanred, the Gilneas occupation of the Seventh Legion is the private army of Lord Darius Crowley. They saw Lord Darius at the first sight and paid tribute to Lord Darius. , completely unaware of Prince Liam standing next to Lord Darius.
Upon seeing this, Lord Darius quickly introduced, "This is Prince Liam, Gilneas War Brigade, salute to Prince Liam!"
With Lord Darius taking the lead, the Gilnean war brigade also paid tribute to Prince Liam.
If they were those narrow-minded princes, they would probably resent and be wary of Lord Darius because of this move, but Prince Liam didn't care. He said sincerely, "It doesn't have to be like this, Lord Darius, this is your troops.”
With the appearance of Admiral Tanred, Lucille Waycrest, Liam, and Lord Darius, the Seventh Legion at the port of Burning Wood Village directly defected.
Although they are loyal to Lord Jaina Proudmoore of Theramore and the Alliance, their true sense of belonging lies with the Kingdom of Kul Tiras and the Kingdom of Gilneas.
In addition, Burning Wood Village was originally the territory of Lord Darius Crowley, which directly caused the entire Burning Wood Village to switch sides in an instant.
All this was unknown to the senior commander Halford Wymbane.
When the Gilnean war brigade and Kul Tiran soldiers surrounded and appeared behind senior commander Halford Wyrmbane, he asked doubtfully, "I didn't give an order for them to come over. What's going on?"
But soon, senior commander Halford discovered that the flags erected by the Gilnean War Brigade and Kul Tiras soldiers were not the flags of the Seventh Legion and the Alliance, but the flags of the Kingdom of Gilneas and the Kingdom of Kul Tiras. .
Except for a few personal guards of Halford, a high-ranking commander from the Kingdom of Stormwind, the rest of the Seventh Legion all defected and returned to their kingdom.
The Alliance thought of dealing with the Covenant, and could not send the Stromgarde militia and the Kingdom of Lordaeron troops in the Seventh Legion, so they sent the Gilneas War Brigade and Kul Tiras soldiers, but what they did not expect was that the new Admiral Tanred came in person, and the Gilneas Prince Liam also came with Lord Darius.
High-level commander Halford was also captured directly by Lord Darius, who had the strength of a hero.
The captured high-level commander Halford said to Lord Darius unwillingly, "Lord Darius, didn't you support Lord Jaina's cause at the beginning? Why are you helping the Covenant now?"
"Halford Wyrmbane, I didn't help Lord Jaina to let her lead my men to provoke a civil war against the Covenant." Lord Darius had chosen to support Prince Liam, and Prince Liam chose the Covenant, so Lord Darius naturally made up his mind to take back the Gilneas War Brigade sent to Theramore.
In this way, through the influence of Admiral Tanred and Lord Darius, the Seventh Legion directly switched sides, and the Covenant captured Pyrewood Village and Shadowfang Keep with minimal casualties.
The ports and frontier fortresses that the Alliance painstakingly built in the northern continent of the Eastern Kingdoms were directly lost.
