Alpha wolf?
Jiang Jie's heart skipped a beat.
I didn't expect him to show up so early.
Ralaar Fangfire... an ancient Night Elf Druid of the Scythe... a magnificent Archdruid...
As expected, given his status and the power he wielded, how could that guy Arugal possibly control him, not even with the " The Book of Ur "?
Throughout the game, he remained hidden, secretly developing his Worgen power, attempting to rule all of Gilneas, turning everyone into Worgen, and then using this power to take revenge on the Druid who had banished and sealed him away.
It seems they want to take advantage of the chaos to solve the problem once and for all, turning King Genn into Worgen to speed things up!
Indeed, with the Undead the city, if he doesn't act quickly enough, by the time Gilneas becomes the realm of the Undead, he won't have many Worgen he can convert, making his revenge against the Druid seem like a distant dream...
" Nicholas, you said... the Worgen Curse can't be removed?" Genn recovered from Jiang Jie's acupoint strike. The Worgen Curse was indeed not simple; that wild power could actually break through the acupoint strike on its own.
"Werewolves originate from the ancient Scytheclaw Druids, from the wolf demigod Goldrin." Jiang Jie shook his head and said, "Goldrin is a being who even dares to roar at the moon goddess... In wolf form, even the Archdruid Malfurion struggled to control him; it's the wildest expression of the Druid's savage power... Okay, if you don't know these terms, just remember one thing: the werewolf curse cannot be lifted."
"Can't be eliminated? Then let's not eliminate it! This power is immense; it can fight against the Undead!" A resolute expression appeared on Genn's face, his fists clenched tightly. "I will use my will to control this wild power! Nicholas, I cannot abandon my country, my people! Even in this state, I will persevere!"
"Control wild power with your own will? King Genn, don't be too confident. That's power from Demigod, not so easy to control!" Jiang Jie shook his head and said, "Even if you really can control this power, what about your people? What will happen to them?"
" The Worgen Curse has turned me and some of my people into ferocious and savage monsters, but it has also granted us strength and speed far exceeding what we once possessed! I will use this power to destroy the Undead and protect my people!" Perseverance and determined look appeared on Genn's face. " The Undead army is pressing in, Gilneas is on the verge of collapse! At this moment, perhaps becoming Worgen is the only way to fight the Undead! Between death and becoming Worgen, I think my people will choose to become Worgen!"
"If you become Worgen, will those who haven't still recognize you as their king? Or do you intend to turn all your people into Worgen?" Jiang Jie voiced the most dangerous possibility, whispering, "Could Worgen who can't even control their own reason truly save Worgen? My advice is: abandon this city, take your people, and retreat towards Gilneas Silverpine Forest! Then, use the natural barrier of Greymane Wall to resist the Undead!"
"I can't abandon Gilneas City! And like you said, my people... will they still recognize me as their monster king, or any other Gilneas who have turned into monsters? If I go to Pyrewood Village, Darius, and Godfrey outside, they'll probably come after me immediately, won't they?" Genn was silent for a moment, then said:
" Krennan will find a way to keep us sane! Nicholas, if you have any other good suggestions, please say them now, my people and I will be eternally grateful! Otherwise, please leave this cursed nation, I don't want the future star of Lordaeron to fall here! When Gilneas was in trouble, you were the only one in the world who came to our aid, I... thank you!"
"Then let Lord Godfrey take everyone he can and retreat north of Silverpine Forest. Gilneas's remaining forces will gather there to continue fighting the Undead Scourge!" Jiang Jie knew he couldn't persuade King Genn, and he also knew that King Genn's choice was actually the best one.
"I will order Lord Godfrey to escort my people to their retreat! And I, as king, will live and die with this city!" King Genn. "By the time the healthy Gilneas are gone, I'll probably have become a true monster."
"I don't know how long Master Krennan will need to develop the potion you require. King Genn, Nightbane can help Worgen overcome their inner shadows; you might be able to find it in the Blackwald to the south. Also, be very careful of the Alpha Wolf; he's more terrifying than you imagine." Jiang Jie said, "Is there anything else you need? I will do my best to fulfill your requests, in my personal capacity!"
"In my personal capacity? Very well," King Genn. "Help me rescue my son, Liam! This is my only request as a father!"
Lord Godfrey was a remarkable man. Gilneas seem to possess a spirit of rebellion, as was the case with the Crowley Family and Lord Godfrey himself.
When King Genn issued the order, his first reaction was to disobey, demanding that King Genn lead the people to retreat while he led the city guards to cover the rear...
Then King Genn rejected it.
King Genn did not tell Lord Godfrey that he was infected with the Worgen Curse and would soon become Worgen, hoping that he could at least leave a glorious image in the hearts of his people.
He felt that if he lost his mind, and if Gilneas City fell, his final fate would be death.
In that case, let his people believe that he died as a human being!
His Majesty's orders must be obeyed. Lord Godfrey quickly gathered all the people he could, and they met in the church district half a day later.
Jiang Jie also took this opportunity to find Allen and Miss Gwen.
Allen's mother's body was buried in the basement of the inn, purified with holy water, and then the basement was sealed off. This way, Allen's mother could rest in peace in her own country and would not be awakened as Undead.
Soon, they met up in the church area.
King Genn led the remaining soldiers to continue defending the city gates, but Jiang Jie knew they couldn't hold out for long. The city would soon be overrun by the Undead, and the savage power within Genn was becoming uncontrollable; he would definitely turn into Worgen by today.
The North Gate had the fewest Undead, Godfrey used cannons to clear the way, and tens of thousands of civilians, protected by soldiers, retreated towards the Greymane Wall.
With so many people, it was unrealistic to transport them by small fishing boats, so Jiang Jie, along with Anveena, headed ahead of time to Greymane Wall.
He must find a way to open the city gates!
