Chapter 662: Stubborn Jean
Arugao died, Elune's scythe fell into the hands of Leo, and in the face of such a sharp weapon with magical powers, Leo and Ronin surprisingly did not take any action, did not use their spiritual power to probe into it to make this luna scythe recognize its owner, but very carelessly left it, and a free werewolf was lucky to get it.
With the death of Arugao and the revival of the werewolves who had been controlled by the vain attempt to become the king of the world, the werewolves, who gradually returned to their senses, did not stop the war against the kingdom of Gilneth, but instead increased their attack.
After having reason, the attack of these werewolves became sharp, under the command of some werewolves, they changed their previous free and chaotic attack methods, and began to become like an army, the humans of the Kingdom of Gilneth did not expect the opponent to make such a change, nor were they able to resist the completely changed enemy, they had to retreat one after another under the opponent's attack, and as the battle line moved back, the territory controlled by humans became smaller and smaller.
The drastic change in the situation caused some contradictions within the Kingdom of Gilneth to be detonated in advance.
Vincent. Goldfrey, one of the noble lords of the kingdom of Gilneys, was able to appear on the battlefield at the suggestion of King Jean when he refused to join the alliance and send an army against the orcs, but sadly the kingdom eventually withdrew from the alliance.
With another noble lord, Dalils, who is tough but more sane. Crowley is different, Godfrey is full of disappointment with Jean, if it weren't for the extreme isolationism pursued by His Majesty the King of the Greymane family, if it weren't for Jean's insistence on quitting the alliance despite everyone's persuasion, if it weren't for the stubborn Jean's insistence on building the Greymane Wall to close the entire kingdom, how would the Kingdom of Gilneth fall to this step?
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became with Jean, and it was His Majesty's stubborn short-sightedness and selfishness that put Gilneth in danger of destroying the country.
"There's no time to hesitate, GFREY. Now that the situation in the kingdom is critical, God knows how those beasts have suddenly become disciplined, and we must prepare for the worst, but Jean's old stubbornness still insists on his wrong move. ”
An angry voice rang out, saying that the king's was not a change that no one would dare to do on other occasions, but this was Goffrey's bedroom, surrounded by Goffrey's henchmen, and Walden, who was a friend of Goffrey, had no scruples at all, because he knew that Goffrey was even more dissatisfied with Jean who had brought the country to this point than he was.
"High Frey, Lord Walden is right, if it weren't for Jean, how could our mighty Gilneth become a playground for beasts? Now that the whole country is in danger, Jean's stubbornness makes him make the wrong decision once again, and he actually refuses to release Dahlells. Lord Crowley and his men, if we don't take any action, we can only watch the whole country perish because of a stupid king. ”
The other man in the bedroom, Baron Ashbury, had a fierce look on his face, as a nobleman of the Kingdom of Gilneth, he could not sit idly by and watch his country be destroyed.
"Do you really want to do that?" Goldfrey hesitated, no matter how stupid Jean was, no matter how many mistakes he made, he was the king after all, but when he thought of the current situation in the kingdom, Goldfrey knew that he had no other choice, "Walden, Ashbury, go gather our army." ”
Walden and Ashbury looked delighted at the tone of Godfrey's house in our three words, and they understood that Goldfrey had finally made up his mind.
Jean. Greymane, the king who rules the kingdom of Gilne, is a powerful warrior whose strength is not inferior to Varian, and a warrior who relies on strong ** strength to fight should be in good health, especially to the extent of Jean, but the fact is that Jean's face has shown a few traces of old age.
Since the previous generation of King Gilneth who was also his father, Archibald. Greymane took over the king's throne in his hands, and Jean never forgot the old king's teachings - everything is on your own, and the Greymans were able to develop Gilneth to their current size without the help of Lordaeron or the Alliance, the Gilneys did all this with their own hands, and they were capable of solving any problem.
Jean was convinced of this, and he did the same. But he just didn't understand why everyone was against his approach, his most favored nobleman of the kingdom, Dalils of the Crowley family, his trusted minister Godfrey, and even his son Lim held the opposite view of him, they actually advocated opening up the kingdom's territory to join the alliance that kept asking for their own contributions.
Jean really doesn't understand why these people don't understand him, as the king of Gilneys, he only needs to consider the interests of the kingdom of Gilneth, as for the alliance, as for the human kingdom, let them die.
But now, the whole king, having carried out his will, has become devastated and in danger of destroying the country, and even Jean can't help but wonder if he has done something wrong, of course, just suspicion.
"Your Majesty, it's not good!"
A guard ran in in a panic to interrupt Jean's thoughts, looking at this guard Jean had a bad premonition in his heart, except for the first time when Daryls broke with him, he saw his own guard like this.
"What happened?"
"Your Majesty, Lord Godfrey stormed the prison with his army, and Dahlells and his accomplices were released."
"What did you say?"
Jean's eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief, the kingdom's important minister Gao Frey had actually done such a thing. The news brought by the guards was like a bolt from the blue, and Jean was slashed on the spot.
"I trust Goldfrey so much, how could he do that?"
After the initial shock, Jean's angry roar filled the room, and the feeling of being betrayed by someone he trusted made Jean want to go crazy, he was already under a lot of pressure, and now he was stimulated like this, Jean couldn't restrain the anger in his chest, he wanted to kill!
"If I don't do that, the nation will perish in your stubbornness."
Goldfrey walked in with his head held high, and he did not have the slightest fear in the face of Jean's anger, even though he knew that he was not Jean's opponent, but behind him, Walden and Axbury, the two nobles who had previously instigated Goldfrey's actions, cowered and did not dare to look at Jean.
"Goldfrey, you traitor!"
Seeing that Gao Frey dared to swagger in front of him, Jean drew his sword and was about to make a move, but then a figure came in and stopped him.
"Lim, how do you get along with these traitors?"
Jean confronted his son loudly, and the latter stared at him forcefully, challenging Jean's majesty as a father.
"Father, Lord Daryls is leading the people of the kingdom in battle against those beasts, and I beg you to forgive Lord Godfrey for his actions at a time when the kingdom is at stake."
Jean glared angrily at Limu, who was stubbornly staring at him below, but the anger in his eyes could not hide the relief in his heart, the son who was only a promise had finally grown up, and the behavior of Godfrey was second to this.
In fact, Jean didn't know in his heart that the only way to resist those werewolves and the current Gilneth was to release the imprisoned Daliles and his men, but the problem was that he couldn't let go of this face, and what Gofrey did did him a great favor, because Jean knew that he would eventually do it for the survival of Gilnes.
"At this time when the country is in crisis, I can ignore Godfrey's behavior for the time being, but he must atone for his crimes."
Jean said and turned his gaze from Lim to Goldfrey, he didn't even look at Walden and Aelberry behind him, and he was cowering when things had been done, how could such a person get into his Jean's eyes?
"Gofrey, take your army to the front, I will watch you from behind, and if you are scared I will personally cut off your head."
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Your Majesty, it is my duty to defend my country as a Gilneth person, and before I leave, I still have to remind you that Gilneth will only perish if this continues, we must reconnect with our former allies, and Gilneth cannot close himself off any longer."
It's like that again!
Gene was furious, and Daryls Gauffrey and the others had already heard his ears calloused to abandon the isolation policy he was now pursuing, and Gene couldn't understand why these guys didn't support him. You must know that the Kingdom of Gilneth is a Gilnesian, why should you join the alliance that keeps demanding Gilness's contribution?
With the only glimmer of hope he had, he once again mentioned getting Jean to abandon his erroneous policy of isolation, and although he had long known that he would not listen to Jean's stubbornness, he said it anyway, but reality ruthlessly shattered his last illusions.
Jean's stubbornness would lead the kingdom of Gilneth to a dead end, and if Prince Lim were in power, the current kingdom would certainly be a different story.
Gofrey, who had been hesitant, had made a decision, but he also knew that now was not the time to act, and that the threat of those beasts had to be dealt with first.
"I didn't expect the king of the Kingdom of Gilneth to be so stubborn, and the kingdom was about to fall, so he refused to change his strategy."
The people of the Kingdom of Gilneys, who were rushing to the front-line battlefield against the werewolves, did not know that their every move fell into the eyes of the two peepers.
"Leo, you don't know Jean as a person, it's not just that he and the entire Greymane family are notoriously paranoid, this paranoia once made Gilnes powerful, but now it has become the murderer who pushed this human kingdom to extinction, if Jean can't make a wise decision, Gilne's demise is inevitable."
Glancing at Ronin, Leo didn't answer, the two had already agreed before, if Gilneth couldn't join the alliance, then saving them would have no effect, although Leo and Ronin would not sit back and watch the complete death of the humans in this kingdom, but it would also make them suffer enough.
"Jean is stubborn, but the prince named Lim seems to be an enlightened man, and Gilneth needs such a king right now, don't you think he's a good candidate, Ronin?"
