Chapter 107 The End
Lorraine was certainly not looking to die.
Starting with taking shortcuts to quickly exit Shadowfang Keep, jumping down from high places is a common occurrence, as the entire castle is well-arranged and makes leaps of faith very convenient.
Even an ordinary person would get injured jumping from a window ten meters high...
Lorraine is no ordinary person; he is not human... He is a necromancer, and a rare class among necromancers: the Necromancer.
Despite its seemingly frail body, it is now quite resilient.
Undead creatures are immune to ordinary sword and blade wounds; they recover instantly from whatever they eat...
The Forsaken warriors wouldn't fall apart when they jumped from high places, and more importantly, their teacher told them that traditional mages could learn levitation. With just a feather, they could use magic to transform themselves into a feather and float in the air.
Lorraine hasn't finished his mission in Dalaran yet, and he hasn't learned the Levitation spell.
However, his blink technique was already masterful.
......
Blink allows mages to traverse dangerous and strange terrain.
It is a combination of spatial and temporal spells, a skill that may have been passed down from the Titans, the gods of time and order.
Perhaps it is Aman'thul, the father of the gods, or Norgannon, the master of arcane arts, knowledge, mystery, and mystical things.
Aman'thul, the Allfather, appointed Norgannon to manage and circulate spells and magic throughout the universe, which of course included arcane magic originating from the Twisting Nether.
......
Azeroth is a world where magic and fantasy coexist because the Pantheon not only sent its gods to perform miracles, but also shared a portion of its divine power with its servants, the Titans...
Azeroth is also a place long coveted by demons and the Old Gods.
Titan guardians, dragons, elemental creatures, demon minions, and followers of the Old Gods wage war on Azeroth.
Ordinary beings suffer greatly; this chaotic order and disordered world need healing...
The ongoing conflicts among various races, with death, destruction, intrigue, and clashes occurring frequently...
Whether they are Titan creations or guardians, their descendants afflicted by the Curse of Flesh, or the dominant races of Azeroth, this homeland is hardly safe...
Every time Lorraine listened to his teacher's lecture, he felt as if he had the responsibility of saving the world!
But in reality, at dawn, when you're frantically fleeing, you can usually only save yourself.
Maintaining composure in the face of danger is already quite an achievement...
......
"Teacher, are you sure jumping down from this mountain is the same as jumping out of the window just now?"
"You just need to cast Blink a few seconds before you get close to the ground, and you'll be fine."
"But..."
"Hey, didn't you just test this multiple times? The principle is the same: get close to the ground at a certain height, then release Blink!"
"Ok."
With a heavy heart, Lorraine leaped off the drawbridge of Shadowfang Castle, which was perched atop a sheer cliff.
On the mountain path, the cavalrymen who were advancing upwards saw his leap of faith immediately...
"My lord, look!"
The subordinate pointed at Lorraine, who had jumped down from the mountain.
Godfrey and the others watched Lorraine's performance in astonishment. He couldn't help but wonder what had happened inside Shadowfang Keep, and why someone had jumped off the cliff...
Is the enemy attacking?
"Hurry up and charge with me!"
He hurriedly brandished his riding whip, with an old-fashioned musket tucked into his waistband.
His attendants carried his armor and weapons...
Godfrey himself was just an ordinary nobleman... but the dwarves' hand-held cannons gave him confidence. His personal guards were all armed with muskets. It was with the aid of these muskets that he had the confidence to fight against the undead and werewolves!
Most of his subordinates were ordinary people, and very few had magical talent.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have treated the uneducated Arugh and Tull as honored guests.
When Archmage Atal'ik of Dalaran arrived with an army of human apprentices to help, Goffrey treated even a single mage apprentice with utmost courtesy...
At present, only Godfrey's men in Gilneas are still mortals, and the swords, guns and firearms in their hands are their only means of defense!
......
"Stop right there! You're not going anywhere!"
Godfrey's cavalry were blocked in the road by a group of men in red armor.
Soon, more well-trained soldiers emerged from the roads and woods, carrying shields and swords.
Judging from their attire, with the red and white crosses on their shields and armor, these are soldiers of the Scarlet Crusade!
"Who are you and what do you want to do?"
"Greetings, Lord Godfrey. We are the vanguard of the Lordaeron Salvation Front. We have been dispatched by His Highness the Archbishop to clear out the infected!"
"The Lordaeron Salvation Front? I've never heard of that. You're the Scarlet Crusade, aren't you? What are you doing here on Gilneas's territory!"
Godfrey found these fanatical crusaders incomprehensible.
He had also heard rumors about the Scarlet Crusade and their modus operandi. There used to be a vast cathedral in Gilneas.
A minority of priests believed the werewolf curse was caused by the sins of the people... Godfrey preferred to believe it was caused by the king's incompetence... He was always looking for opportunities to gain more power.
The last lord to be infected with the werewolf curse, Darius Crowley, had already fought a fierce battle with King Greymane for those damned werewolves.
Darius was imprisoned after his defeat, and the king's power also suffered heavy losses, which was Gofrey's opportunity.
But the plan is not going well, and now a blood-red army has suddenly appeared!
Were they lying in ambush here specifically to wait for Godfrey?
.......
"We have received confirmed information that the entire human race of Gilneas has been corrupted. You have become werewolves! Werewolves, or undead, are evil creatures, and the bishop has sent us to cleanse you. Filthy infected!"
"What did you say!"
Godfrey was furious upon hearing this, as the majority of the kingdom's population had indeed been infected.
But he couldn't let outsiders judge him, especially not the remnants of Lordaeron, a kingdom long since destroyed. This group of peasant madmen seeking revenge showed him, their lord, absolutely no respect!
Godfrey's men drew their swords, and a few infantrymen behind them raised their muskets.
The Scarlet Crusade's junior leader chuckled, "Gilneth is in a strategic location. His Holiness the Archbishop believes that if you had been handed over to our Lordaeron Salvation Front earlier, you wouldn't have been infected with the Worgen curse!"
He then raised his sword and shouted:
"Commander Raynor authorizes that Gilneas is no longer a human realm. Eliminate all infected and heretics!"
At the command of the Scarlet Crusade leader, countless Scarlet soldiers launched an attack on Godfrey's few hundred cavalrymen.
Their formation was sandwiched on the mountain road, facing encirclement by the Scarlet Crusade.
Even with horses, escape was impossible, as they faced attacks and ambushes from all sides. Cavalrymen fell from their horses one after another, and the muskets only fired one volley.
The Scarlet Crusade had been lying in ambush on the road for a long time, waiting for Gilneas's troops.
These guys have a clear objective: exterminate all Gilneans. Only the Greymane Wall!
.......
Lord Godfrey was driven away on horseback and could only run up the mountain. Soon he reached a place not far from the entrance to Shadowfang Keep.
But for some reason, the suspension bridge was raised...
Lord Godfrey and several of his men were driven to the brink of despair!
He glared at the human enemies before him and cursed, "You damned Lordaeronians, why are you attacking us instead of fighting the undead!"
"Enough with the nonsense, Godfrey! You plotted treason, colluding with Arugal to spread the werewolf curse, turning the people of your country into monsters. People in your own country have already reported you to His Holiness the Bishop for conspiring with heretics and betraying humanity!"
“Nonsense, I did it to save the country. I invited Arugal, but His Majesty Gene also agreed to his plan. I did it for the people. For the country! I am not a traitor.”
Godfrey argued vehemently, but he was now cornered on the edge of a cliff...
"Thule & Duckclaw has been confirmed as a member of the necromancer faction. The werewolf curse summoned by Arugal has been contained by emissaries sent by the Cenarion Circle. But you launched an attack on Therberville without authorization! Now you have provoked the Forsaken's counterattack. The Horde has launched an attack on all human strongholds in the Eastern Kingdoms!"
"The Seventh Legion declares Godfrey guilty of crimes against humanity!"
A masked spy pointed at Lord Godfrey and roared, "It was he who led the men to cut off Godfrey's escape route!"
"I'm not!"
Vincent & Godfrey faced widespread condemnation and were furious. Faced with attacks from humans, he refused to fire his gun.
He turned around angrily and jumped off, just like Lorraine, falling off the cliff.
But he didn't have the Flash skill...
