After finishing his business here, Jiang Jie to check on Greymane Wall and found that although a small number of Undead still occasionally attacked Greymane Wall, large-scale attacks had ceased. This precisely demonstrated that Arthas's control over Gilneas was becoming increasingly stronger, and he was beginning to restrain the Undead and preserve his strength.
In truth, the Undead are the truly non- Regeneration race. They have no ability to reproduce and can only replenish themselves by resurrecting the dead. Once they are completely destroyed, they cannot be resurrected, and each one lost is one less.
The situation is now largely settled. Archimonde's mission has been accomplished, and at least half of the Scourge's forces have been taken away by demons. Arthas's forces are weaker than ever before. At this point, the best course of action is to concentrate all forces and launch a decisive attack at the right moment, rather than allowing small groups of Undead to run rampant and be wiped out bit by bit.
The situation is currently at a stalemate. The Scourge is unable to break through Greymane Wall in one fell swoop, and the Alliance is also unable to launch a large-scale attack on Gilneas City, since Naxxramas is still hovering over that city.
Most importantly, if Jiang Jie's guess is correct, Archimonde wouldn't truly abandon the Scourge; he would likely send some capable subordinates to continue monitoring Scourge. The most suitable candidates would be the three Dreadlords who have been in Northrend assisting Tichondrius in monitoring the Lich King Dreadlord.
Balnazzar, Detheroc, and Varimathras!
Arthas and Kel'Thuzad are also waiting.
They are waiting for Twilight of the Gods to arrive, for Archimonde to fall, for the Burning Legion to be weaker than ever before in this world, before they can complete the Lich King's plan!
After much deliberation, Jiang Jie realized that the situation on the Lordaeron was unlikely to change much, at least until Archimonde died.
In that case, he can leave with peace of mind, and there's something he's always wanted to do that he should finally put on his agenda.
Three days later, on the west coast of Silverpine Forest.
Jiang Jie stood on the beach, watching thousands of Murloc leave, and nodded slightly.
Half of the Whispering Shore's Vile Fin Murlocs. Two months ago, they crossed the coastline and gradually integrated with their own kind. Jiang Jie's reputation also reached the ears of the local Murloc.
However, when Jiang Jie arrived, a large-scale conflict still broke out, as evidenced by the two or three hundred Murloc corpses on the beach.
The Murloc's memory only lasts seven seconds; he can't remember how terrifying Jiang Jie was!
Of course, Jiang Jie didn't make a move this time. Anveena, who had been feeling bored, finally found an opportunity to experiment with her new spell, and of course she wouldn't let it go.
In the end, under Anveena's relentless bombardment, the Murloc surrendered one after another. Their fear of Anveena even surpassed that of Jiang Jie.
"Boring," Anveena muttered, finding the Murloc too weak. The Worgen were much more durable, and of course, the Gargoyle and Frost Wyrm were much more fun...
"Spare the rod and spoil the child!" Jiang Jie chuckled and shook his head.
Regardless, with so many Murloc scattered across the Great Sea, surely he'll find what he's looking for?
After all, some of the Vile Fin Murlocs had already set sail two months ago, and it's certain they weren't in the North Sea.
"My lord! The Kul Tiras fleet is here!" Ivan, standing behind him, pointed into the distance. Jiang Jie looked up and saw at least twenty large ships at the end of the coastline, with many smaller ships around them!
"Go tell Lorna Na that we should go!" Jiang Jie said calmly.
"Yes, sir!" Ivan quickly disappeared.
When he returned, the fleet had already docked, and Lorna led more than 10,000 refugees to the beach.
A graceful figure stood on the largest warship at the very front, Jaina, holding a staff, and smiled at Jiang Jie.
We've been at sea for a month now.
The Great Sea is vast; sailing west from Silverpine Forest, it would take at least two months to reach the shore. It's a world where technology and magic coexist; at any cost, ships can travel at speeds comparable to 21st-century warships, but not every ship can reach that standard—no nation could afford it.
Ordinary ships, lacking the boosts of Gnomes technology and Dalaran magic, can only travel at speeds of around ten knots. Going to sea is never an easy task; it's quite normal to drift for months without landing.
This month was Jiang Jie's most leisurely month. He couldn't and didn't need to worry about the affairs of Lordaeron. Fenna was still busy purifying Stratholme and Darrowshire in the Eastern Plaguelands. It was too far from Gilneas to be dangerous. He heard that she had agreed to Sylvanas's request and was preparing to send troops to Deatholme together after the recruits finished their training to reclaim that fallen High Elf city.
Fenna is quite powerful, and with Ashbringer by her side, as long as Arthas, Kel'Thuzad, Anub'Rekhan don't directly attack, ordinary Undead are no match for her. Moreover, she's not alone; she's always with the entire Ashen Army, so she's very safe unless Naxxramas comes in person.
With the person he worries about most safe, what else does Jiang Jie have to worry about?
He led the remaining members of the Fenris People's Army onto Jaina's ship.
This is a very large fleet, encompassing almost all the major powers of the Eastern Kingdoms.
Mayor Heni Maleb led 3,000 refugees from Southshore, over 20,000 refugees from Lordaeron, Lorna led 10,000 Gilneas refugees, Jiang Jie led the Fenris People's Army, the 500 Wildhammer Gryphon Rider supporting Aerie Peak, General Nesingwary Hemet Nesingwary led 500 Ironforge Dwarves Musketeers, and Jaina led the Kul Tiras...
Naval forces, Stormwind City support troops led by General Halford Baine...
Jiang Jie knew that this multinational joint force was the prototype of the later renowned Seventh Legion, the Alliance's true ace force and a symbol of glory!
For the past month, Jiang Jie's daily routine has consisted of cultivating and training the Fenris People's Army.
These young people, having experienced the trials of war and witnessed the deaths of their brothers, are completely different from before. They are more mature and stronger, and they are more serious about training and cultivation. They can endure any hardship or fatigue, which makes Jiang Jie very gratified.
With the help of the medicinal bath, these people made rapid progress. In addition, with Jiang Jie's constant assistance in guiding their qi every day, everyone cultivated Internal Energy and entered the Houtian realm two days ago. Among them, those who progressed faster, such as Darion, had even reached the Houtian Fourth Layer.
Jiang Jie was very happy because this was his direct subordinate unit, the only unit that truly obeyed his orders without hesitation, his core group.
During this time, Lorna Na saw their training and wanted to join in, Jiang Jie readily agreed to.
However, after only two days, Lorna Na gave up on her own. This fiery-tempered red rose simply didn't have the patience for something like squatting in a horse stance for an hour.
To Jiang Jie's surprise, Allen's progress was also very rapid.
Yes, Jiang Jie brought Allen with him.
He used acupressure to seal several major acupoints on Allen's body, allowing Allen to remain conscious. Although the Worgen's wild power could slowly break through the acupressure seals, it would only require re-sealing the acupoints every day.
The Worgen's physical abilities were incredibly strong, even surpassing those of Darion and Sven. Despite having only learned a smattering of martial arts, Darion and Sven were no match for him in a direct confrontation!
Jiang Jie didn't let Jiang Jie practice any internal energy cultivation. Before he could perfectly control the wild power within him, he couldn't cultivate any internal energy cultivation. Jiang Jie only taught him basic external skills. Although he had already prepared a suitable set of superior martial arts for him, Allen couldn't understand or cultivate them yet.
Time passed day by day, and finally, on this day, a wise Murloc found Jiang Jie.
"Found it?"
Upon hearing the report from the sage Murloc, Jiang Jie was overjoyed.
From the moment he came into this world, he had been thinking about that place. However, that place was not fixed; it roamed all over the ocean and was difficult to find. Jiang Jie didn't have a good solution, so he could only order the Vile Fin Murlocs to cast nets throughout the Great Sea and try their luck.
In reality, Jiang Jie didn't have high hopes, after all, the Great Sea was too vast, and it was normal not to find it.
To my surprise, we actually found it!
It's time to leave!
Jiang Jie quickly found Jaina and explained his plans.
"What? You're going to leave with the Fenris People's Army?" Jaina frowned, puzzled. "You plan to return to Lordaeron? You... are unwilling to support me?"
"My support for you has never changed, Jaina," Jiang Jie said with a smile. "However, I have a very important matter to attend to now. Believe me, it won't be long—three months at most, one month at least—before I reach Kalimdor and join you. At that time, I will appear in a much stronger form and offer you far greater assistance than I have now!"
"Alright, I believe you, Nicholas." Jaina nodded, then pulled out a small boat.
Although the ship is not large, it is very fast. It incorporates the technological achievements of the Gnomes and has a sturdy hull. It can accommodate hundreds of people and can sail the Great Sea.
Jiang Jie, Anveena, Allen, and all the members of the Fenris People's Army boarded the ship and, led by the Murloc sage, headed in a certain direction.
A week later, he saw a huge island floating on the sea in the distance, and a joyful smile appeared on his lips.
Wandering Isle, here I come! js3v3
