Rise of the blood elves

Darius stared at the dense will-o'-the-wisps in the deep forest and said angrily:

"During the evacuation process more than half a month ago, these beasts caused great casualties to the civilians. Sylvallain Castle and its surrounding villages and towns, as well as Burnwood Village, the richest village in Gilneas in the north, have all become empty. All the residents in the settlement were slaughtered by werewolves."

"Hmph, do you know what the survivors called Shadowfang Castle, where the werewolves are inhabited by the werewolves? Shadowfang Castle?" Darius sneered, turned his head, his voice increased by an octave, and said sternly : "Greymane, the damage these monsters have caused us is far greater than the undead."

To this day, he still chooses to refer to us as "us".

Jean Greymane said nothing, acquiescing to Darius's accusation.The dancing firelight burning in the brazier could not illuminate his gloomy face. Others could not see his expression, so they could not know the king's psychological activities at this time.

Ever since Arugal, who was once the chief mage of the Gilnean court, betrayed Greymane, he realized his mistake.

He made the mistake of listening to the ambitious mage's advice, bringing new troubles and enemies to himself and to Gilneas.

Darius is right.

During this period, except for the scouts riding griffons who could hover over the Silver Pine Forest and collect some scattered information about the undead, the military did not dare to send any ground investigators at all.Because once the scouts walk out of Greymane Wall, they will be killed by the ghostly and swift werewolves before they go deep into the forest.

Gilneas now knows nothing about what happened in Silverpine Forest, and it was all thanks to the worgen.

The senior military officials behind Greymane looked at each other and then fell silent.No one refuted Darius's point of view.

The move to summon werewolves has long been proven to be a mistake.

The silence slowly simmered, the darkest and most silent dawn of the day, making it all the more eerie.

In fact, the matter is far more serious than Greymane, Darius, and all the Gilneans imagined.

The werewolf summoned by Arugal actually comes from the Emerald Dream and is an extremely terrifying creature.The "missing residents" of Shadowfang Castle and Burnwood Village who were thought to have died from wolves were not actually dead. Instead, they were all infected by the "Werewolf Curse" and lost their sanity, becoming addicted to wild animal desires and addictions. A monster driven by blood instinct that only knows how to kill.

In the near future, even if the Greymane Wall blocks them, the all-pervasive werewolf curse will still spread to the Kingdom of Gilneas, infecting most of the Gilneans into werewolves, and even King Greymane himself will not be able to survive. Can be spared.

Not everyone can maintain a clear self-will after transforming into a werewolf.Ninety-nine percent of infected people will completely succumb to their instincts and become slaves of their instincts, no different from wild beasts.

The werewolf curse caused far more casualties to the Kingdom of Gilneas than the combined total of the [-], [-], and [-] wars, almost completely destroying this isolated and closed kingdom.

The origin of the werewolf curse can be traced back to the post-ancient period nearly 1 years ago.

Not long after the ancient war that tore the world apart, the night elves who fell to the Burning Legion, those ugly creatures with two horns, fur-covered bodies and hoof-shaped feet: satyrs, united with the remnants of demons to form the "Beijing". "The Fire Legion" launched an unstoppable attack on the night elves who had not yet recovered their clan strength.

This long-lasting war is known in history as the "Sart War", which left the night elves at that time mentally and physically exhausted and caused heavy casualties.

In order to fight against the encroaching evil, a disciple of Arch Druid Malfurion, a druid named Lelar asked the teacher to lift the ban on "transforming into wolf form" and use this dangerous form to empower The power of the druids can reverse the decline of this war.

Malfurion did not agree to his disciple's request, because the wild instincts in the wolf form were difficult to control, and it was easy to lose his mind forever after the transformation and become an outright beast.

But Lailal still gathered a group of like-minded druids and started his own attempt despite the ban.Although these druids were all highly skilled "transformers" and tried their best to be careful during the transformation process, they eventually succumbed to the wild instinct of the wolf pack form and attacked their former compatriots regardless of friend or foe.

After quelling the aftermath of this failed attempt, the war continued as before, with the night elves retreating steadily.

Devastated by the death of her husband, the young druid Belisha stubbornly chose to go her own way and continued to explore the feasibility of transforming into a wolf form. Finally, she combined the teeth of the demigod Goldrinn with a staff infused with the essence of Elune. An artifact called the "Moon Scythe" was created.

This artifact changes the nature of the wolf's form, allowing any druid who dares to try to completely transform into a half-man, half-wolf form.

In other words, the Scythe of Luna created the creature called the werewolf.

Azeroth's first werewolf was the talented druid named Lyal.

After completely wiping out the satyrs and demons, the werewolves were unable to suppress the furious instinct in their hearts, so they targeted their former compatriots, the night elves.

All the night elves injured by the werewolves' fangs and claws eventually turned into beasts that were no different from werewolves, and suffered unimaginable losses.

The world-famous Cenarion Circle was actually established to hunt down and solve the wolf problem.dedicated to

The process was ups and downs, but in the end Malfurion successfully used the Scythe of the Moon to tear the border between reality and fantasy, and banished the werewolves with his former disciple "Lelal" as their leader into the Emerald Dream, allowing them to live in the Emerald Dream. Soothed by the energy of the warm dream, he fell into an eternal slumber beside the giant tree of Dananil.

But the werewolf has been looking for an opportunity to escape. It was Arugal's ambition that helped the werewolf realize his lifelong wish to escape from the imprisonment of the Emerald Dream.

"Da da"

Dense crisp sounds broke the dead silence and came from afar, as if thousands of dry bones were touching each other in the darkness invisible to the naked eye.

Everyone on the Greymane Wall suddenly took a breath of cold air. Even if they were standing on a hundred-meter-high wall and nearly a kilometer away from the Silver Pine Forest, the sound was so clearly audible.

People are familiar with this sound.

"bang, bang"

"crunch"

Heavy footsteps followed, and poorly constructed instruments made a tooth-itching "crunching" sound.

In everyone's horrified eyes, the thick fog at dawn in the forest stirred up. Not long after, an army of resurrected people broke through the thick fog and appeared in the distance.

Darius took a cursory glance at the undead army and found that the opponent's strength was far greater than that of the coalition forces in the defensive position under the giant wall, and his expression involuntarily darkened.

"Greymane, you still won't open the door, right?"
