Chapter 122 Landing in Gilneas
Greymane Wall is taller and stronger than the unrenovated Thoradin Wall. The renovated Thoradin Wall is not as large as Greymane Wall. After all, Greymane Wall was built by Gilneas with all its strength in order to close the country.
To be honest, the Kingdom of Gilneas, Genn, was really stubborn to build such a huge wall just to close itself off, even at the cost of giving up a lot of territory.
Unfortunately, this wall that Gilneans are proud of will be scarred and lose its original effect in the Cataclysm.
Now, Greymane Wall still has extremely high defense. Even with siege weapons, Garin does not have much confidence to force down Greymane Wall, unless the siege craftsman Blackfuse brings out the Iron Star.
The purpose of the Covenant is not to fight the Kingdom of Gilneas to death. In Garin's countermeasures, to deal with Greymane Wall, it should be just like dealing with the Maginot Line, just avoid it directly.
The Kingdom of Gilneas is a peninsula country surrounded by the sea on three sides. However, due to the existence of a large number of bite reefs, the Kingdom of Gilneas's maritime trade is restricted. Otherwise, the Kingdom of Gilneas can completely establish deep trade relations with the Kingdom of Kul Tiras through maritime trade.
The existence of the bite reefs and the influence of King Genn's policy of closing the country to the outside world have led to great problems in the navy of the Kingdom of Gilneas.
The Kingdom of Gilneas also has a naval fleet. With a large amount of timber in the Kingdom of Gilneas, the size of the fleet cannot be underestimated, but the combat effectiveness... is basically useless.
Not all sea areas have bite reefs. The Kingdom of Gilneas mainly has two large ports, the Dragonbone Port in the Overturned Bay and the Dusk Port in the Dusk Bay Town. In fact, to some extent, Gilneas City is also a port city, but it has been abandoned by the Kingdom of Gilneas.
In order to prevent fleets from other countries from invading the borders of the Kingdom of Gilneas, King Genn of the Kingdom of Gilneas built large watchtowers on the three regional islands of the Kingdom of Gilneas facing the sea.
It can be said that it is also painstaking to close the country to the outside world.
The naval warships of the Alliance's Seventh Legion are mainly the warships of the Kul Tiras Royal Fleet of Admiral Daelin Proudmoore, and are now naturally incorporated by the new Admiral Tanred.
By comparing the naval warships of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras and the Kingdom of Gilneas in Fenwood Village, it is obvious that the warships of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras are not comparable to those of the Kingdom of Gilneas in terms of size or combat capability.
The warriors of the Covenant also set out from Fenwood Village through the Royal Fleet of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras, sailed south along the Endless Sea, and arrived at the border of the Kingdom of Gilneas by sea.
The large watchtower on the northwest island of the Kingdom of Gilneas naturally discovered this huge fleet very quickly, but the Gilneas Kingdom lookout in this large watchtower saw the Gilneas Kingdom warships led by Prince Liam and Lord Darius through the telescope, and directly acquiesced to the existence of the Kul Tiras Royal Fleet.
Obviously, the lookouts in the western watchtower had already been replaced by Prince Liam and Lord Darius, which allowed the Kul Tiras Royal Fleet to pass through here unimpeded.
After arriving at the Overturned Boat Bay, the Kul Tiras Royal Fleet and the Gilneas Fleet parted ways, because in the following battle, King Genn could not know that Prince Liam and Lord Darius were in the same group with the Covenant.
The giant warships of the Royal Navy of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras appeared in Keel Harbor. The Gilneans living in Keel Harbor have enjoyed more than 20 years of isolation. When they saw the huge warships of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras appeared, they were as surprised as the Japanese Black Ship Incident.
The Gilneas Fleet in Keel Harbor had not yet come out, but it had been directly landed by the Covenant. The Kul Tiras Kingdom soldiers of the Covenant were extremely good at beach landings and could be said to be the most powerful marines in Azeroth.
In contrast, although the warriors of the Kingdom of Stromgarde could definitely defeat the Kul Tiras soldiers on land, they were far behind in beach landings.
"Take down Dragonbone Harbor, soldiers of Kul Tiras! For the Covenant!" Admiral Tanred naturally landed at Dragonbone Harbor much faster than Garin. After landing, Admiral Tanred drew out the Kul Tiras-style longsword and led the Kul Tiras soldiers to attack Dragonbone Harbor.
It is worth mentioning that the Kingdom of Kul Tiras also has weapons and emblems that symbolize the inheritance of the admiral, that is, Daelin Proudmoore's saber and the emblem of the commander-in-chief of the navy, and of course the fleet heart pendant of Kul Tiras.
It's just a pity that these things are currently in the hands of Jaina. Admiral Tanred once vowed to take back these three items that symbolize the power of the admiral.
Due to more than 20 years of peace and isolation, the army of the Kingdom of Gilneas is loose and lacks training. When they found that the enemy was attacking, they panicked and didn't know what to do.
This also led to the fact that Dragonbone Harbor had not yet conveyed the news of the Covenant's attack and forced landing, and it had already fallen directly.
After the warriors from the Kingdom of Stromgarde landed, Dragonbone Harbor was quickly controlled by the Covenant, with zero casualties. All the Gilnean defenders in Dragonbone Harbor were tied up.
Although the Gilneans in Dragonbone Port are somewhat afraid of the arrival of the Covenant, both the army of the Kingdom of Stromgard and the soldiers of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras are civilized divisions. Apart from sealing off Dragonbone Port, they have done nothing. Affecting the normal life of the Gilneans in Dragonbone Harbor.
"Tanred, naval operations are still the strength of your Kingdom of Kul Tiras. By the time I land, you have already controlled the port." In the port hall of Dragonbone Port, Garin praised Kurti Although Garin knew that the Kingdom of Kul Tiras was the strongest among the human kingdoms at the speed at which soldiers from the Kingdom of Ras landed on the beach, seeing it with his own eyes was another matter, so he was sincerely impressed.
Hearing Garin's praise, Tanred also smiled. The Kul Tiran soldiers in the Seventh Legion of the Alliance are all the true elites of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras, and they are even better than the group Tanred brought out. Powerful, their return would be a good thing for the Kingdom of Kul Tiras.
Tanred suddenly thought of something, and then said, "Garin, our landing was too smooth. According to the current situation, it will take a few days for the news to reach Gilneas, don't you think?"
Originally, they wanted to pass the news directly to Gilneas City by seizing Dragonbone Harbor and let King Zeon lead an army to attack. However, who knew that the defenders of the Kingdom of Gilneas were already so weak.
