Because of her speed, Lorna Na was always lagging behind Jiang Jie. While Jiang Jie was fighting the wolf pack, she was still running in the corridor.
Now, as he ran to the door and was about to open it, he saw Arugal and, naturally, wouldn't let him go. So he picked up his musket and started firing wildly.
Of course, the downside of muskets compared to bows and arrows is that reloading takes more time. After firing a shot, Lorna simply drew her sword and thrust it forward.
At the same time, the two vicious dogs rushed out and attacked Arugal.
This attack was naturally no match for the Shadow Shield's defenses, but it still startled Arugal and bought him some time.
The next moment, a sword pierced through the shadow shield and through his body, the tip going through his chest and protruding from his heart, covered in blood that flowed continuously.
"To be honest, you've really disgraced your master." Shadowflame burned Arugal's body, Jiang Jie shook his head and sighed.
His favorite classes are mage and rogue, which he believes require a lot of skill to play.
A patient, accurate, and decisive thief can kill anyone, while a sufficiently intelligent and experienced mage, especially a mage, might not only be able to save their own life in such a situation, but could even turn the tables and kill someone!
Think of the witty Khadgar, and the mischievous Rhonin...
Khadgar defeated Deathwing!
Of course, on the other hand, if Arugal hadn't been "famous" and if Jiang Jie hadn't learned from his master Ansirem that Arugal was a shut-in who "didn't know anything about the outside world" and had terrible combat experience, Jiang Jie wouldn't have been able to rush in with just three people. He might have really had to ask Lady Modera for help.
Jiang Jie frowned as he casually put away the staff and the Book of Ur.
Arugal dead, and all the Worgen here are out of control; they are free!
Jiang Jie and Lorna attacked simultaneously, quickly eliminating more than a dozen Worgen, but many more Worgen still managed to escape.
There were too many Worgen in this castle, no less than a hundred, and now they're swarming away. Anveena couldn't possibly kill them all.
Finally, when Jiang Jie went out to meet up with Anveena, he saw that many Worgen had escaped and fled into the mountains and dense forests.
This is unavoidable; no one can guarantee the complete annihilation of all Worgen. This isn't a game; Worgen won't stay put and wait to be killed. These perceptive creatures were free the moment Arugal died. The wolf's nature is free; they won't stay in this castle, preferring to return to the mountains...
" Nicholas, have you seen Liam?" Lorna was a little anxious; she had been searching for a while but couldn't find Liam at all.
She suspected that Liam might have turned into Worgen and been mistakenly killed in the fierce battle, or that he had escaped after Arugal's death...
Because their fathers were the two most powerful people in the entire Kingdom of Gilneas, Lorna and Liam had a very good relationship since childhood, the kind of childhood sweethearts. Liam was a proud and arrogant prince, and there weren't many people he could fancy. Ordinary noblewomen were simply not worthy of his attention, but Lorna, who was always different from other women, was his favorite.
Of course, little Lorna has always had a good impression of Liam, but they haven't discussed marriage because of their parents' political differences. Now that Liam is an adult and Lorna is almost an adult, it's about time.
" Liam? Don't worry, I know where he is." Jiang Jie had already sent the game pod to scan the entire Shadowfang Keep when he entered the castle, and soon discovered that many people were being held in a certain room, including Prince Liam.
He recognized Prince Liam because he had received a portrait of Liam from Lorna beforehand. As a prince of a country, he would naturally have many such portraits. Given Lorna's status, it was normal for her to have portraits of him, and more than one at that.
Jiang Jie easily found the room.
This was the stables, and part of it has now been set aside to imprison those who rebelled against Arugal, including Prince Liam and Baron Shivalein.
Unfortunately, all the people imprisoned here have been bitten by Worgen and infected with the Worgen Curse; they will soon turn into Worgen.
" Liam! It's me, Lorna!" Lorna was very excited and quickly went over, but she didn't try to open the stable door because she saw that Prince Liam was acting strangely and sensed that he was about to turn into Worgen.
Lorna was no ordinary person after all; she had a strong sense of self-discipline.
"I have a suggestion," Jiang Jie said. "This castle is quite a distance from Pyrewood Village and is built halfway up a mountain. Why don't we simply renovate it and turn it into a castle specifically for imprisoning Worgen? We only need to assign suitable people to guard it. In addition, once we find a way to restore the Worgen ' sanity, this place can also become Worgen residence, avoiding contact with humans."
"That's a good idea!" Lorna looked at Prince Liam and quickly nodded.
"Of course, Worgen are dangerous. You should go to Lady Modera and ask her and the Kirin Tor mages to set up a magical barrier around this castle to trap the Worgen inside until Worgen have a true leader," Jiang Jie added.
He didn't know if King Genn was still alive or if he could still be the true werewolf king. If he could, that would be good. If not, then Prince Liam was naturally the most likely candidate to become the Worgen king, given his status.
Jiang Jie believed that King Genn was likely already dead.
The Kingdom of Gilneas is in grave danger. Arthas and the main Scourge forces are both present, and hundreds of thousands of Undead are rampaging. Where is King Genn safe?
There really aren't many left.
Lord Darius and Lord Godfrey, upon hearing the news of Prince Liam, were eager to arrive and immediately led the elite Gilneas Brigade to set up defenses.
"My apothecary told me there's no Nightbane in Silverpine Forest! I've sent men to the Blackwald on the Gilneas Peninsula, but... the chances are slim." Lord Darius frowned. "Lady Modera told me that the Gilneas Peninsula is now completely under the Scourge's control! Even Rhonin is here, and Uther is now at Pyrewood Village, reinforcing the Greymane Wall defenses!"
Jiang Jie nodded.
That's for sure.
Now that Gilneas has become the Scourge's stronghold, the Greymane Wall has become a true wall of life, of paramount importance. Both Dalaran and Lordaeron attach great importance to it. Defending the Greymane Wall is equivalent to defending the northern nations of humanity!
" Nicholas, our people might not be able to obtain a large quantity of Nightbane. Even if they do, it will take time to concoct an effective potion—perhaps a month, perhaps a year, or even longer..." Lorna raised her head, her fists clenched, her gaze resolute. "You told me that Druid would have a way to cure Worgen?"
"Werewolves originated from the Night Elves. The earliest werewolves were the wolf form of the Scytheclaw Druid. The disasters caused by the Scytheclaw Druids in ancient times were ten or even a hundred times more terrible than the werewolves of today!" Jiang Jie nodded and said, "The Night Elves are a race far more ancient than humans, favored by the moon goddess Elune and many wild demigods, and they also have remarkable figures like the Archdruid Malfurion. I think they will definitely have a way!"
"Alright, I'll go to Kalimdor with Jaina! I must find the Druid, I must heal the Worgen, I must heal Liam!" Lorna shouted.
" Lorna... alright." Lord Darius wanted to stop his daughter, because he knew how dangerous it was to go to another unknown continent. Lady Modera had told him that Archimonde, along with the demons and a large number of Undead elites, had already gone to Kalimdor.
But the words caught in my throat.
No one knows a daughter better than her father.
He knew very well that Lorna, like him, was very opinionated. Once she made up her mind about something, no one could dissuade her.
"I'll go with you all. Kalimdor, the land of eternal starlight! Night Elf, children of the stars! Those long-lived beings... no, immortal beings, I've been curious about them for a long time." Jiang Jie smiled and then said.
" Nicholas, then I'll trouble you to take care of Lorna. You are the best friend of the Crowley Family!" Lord Darius said.
"I will." Jiang Jie nodded.
