Chapter 225: May the Holy Light Fool You (600 Monthly Pass)
Her Royal Highness the Princess forgot that she should even return the gift. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It took ten seconds for her to wake up suddenly, raise her head, hold her skirt in her left hand and give a ladylike salute: "Sorry, it's rude." Thank you, Duke Marcus, your gift is so perfect that I lost my mind. ”
Beside her, there was already a noble girl who whispered: "Oh, my God, if someone proposes to me with such a rose, I guess I will be willing to marry immediately." ”
This unmuffled voice made Princess Kalia blush all the way to her neck, and she suddenly turned around and walked away: "Uh, I'm sorry, I'm a little uncomfortable, rude." ”
Leaving the jaws of the nobles who were shocked, where is this uncomfortable, it is clearly the most brilliant pearl of Lordaeron - Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is tempted!?
At this moment, all the bigwigs present had an abrupt heart.
Things seem a little more nuanced.
No king is a fool, and everyone can see that although the Stormwind Kingdom is still defeated, it can still maintain its vitality under such a huge disparity between the enemy and me, and it depends on whom.
Lothar is very good, but Lothar's excellence is still within the scope of people's imagination.
Duke is different, he is too young, he is not lacking in courage, wisdom, strategy, and strength. Fight against the demon king Sargeras, burn the orcs, and save 50,000 elites with an ice ship...... If all of the above is just rumors, then Duke will really fall into the eyes of the bigwigs after coming to Lordaeron to promote the formation of the Alliance.
Everyone knows that without Duke's intelligence and deductions, the alliance would not have been established so quickly.
Everyone understands that without Duke as a childcare, the kings would not have made a promise so easily.
Perhaps without Duke, the alliance would still be formed, and the troops would still be sent.
But with Duke, the process has been sped up by I don't know how many times?!
Which one is the most urgent now?
Of course, the kingdom of Stormwind, which has lost its territory. Without Duke's operations, the Kingdom of Stormwind would be left with a group of refugees and remnants of the defeated army. Even if the refugees survive, they will only be absorbed by the countries of the northern continent. Become a consumable in war. The fall of the Stormwind Kingdom is tantamount to a disguised war dividend to the rest of the nations.
And the Storm Kingdom, which only has an empty shelf, will become a puppet, subject to the involvement of various countries, how can it be possible to have the freedom of Lothar now?
Even if the other seven kingdoms all withdraw, Lothar still has 50,000 elite soldiers who can fight for the last time. This is the confidence of having one's own family.
The kingdom of Stormwind, which has lost its land, is really full of treasures in the eyes of other kings. And Duke is clearly the gem of the bunch.
King Terenus touched the long beard on his chin, and suddenly felt that the combination of Duke and Kalia was also a good choice.
King Terenus spoke: "Duke Marcus, we have a small banquet in the royal family of Lordaeron tomorrow night, I wonder if you are free?"
Facing King Lordaeron's gaze, Duke shivered slightly: It seems that I just pretended to be too much?
"Uh, I'm sorry, but I have to deal with more than 800 official documents every day. There's been a lot of backlog these days. Duke looked busy.
Who knew that the glint in Terenus' eyes skyrocketed. Not only him, but several other kings stared at Duke like hungry wolves.
Duke knew he had lost his words again.
"Stormwind Kingdom is truly lucky. My 12 cabinet ministers may not be able to handle 800 official documents in a month. Terenus seems to have found another reason to woo Duke.
In Duke's heart, 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped by.
Yes, he may have begun to mature in terms of spells and strategy. But whether in his past life or in this life, his political sensitivity is 0.
Duke decided to play dumb. After a few pleasantries, Duke was pulled away by Ryan.
On one of the terraces, the door was closed, separating the hustle and bustle of the banquet. At this moment, the king, who had always been wise most of the time, seemed a little lonely.
"Duke...... Actually, I want to say, I appreciate you. Without your arrangement, I would have died long ago, and most of the soldiers and civilians of Stormwind City died in the city. There will be no alliance today. ”
"Uh, Your Majesty, wait, are you ......"
"Listen to me. You're a very good guy, and seriously, I always thought I could give you everything you wanted, and it turns out I was wrong. The Kingdom of Stormwind is too weak, and if you feel that it is a better option to defect to other kingdoms, I will bless your ......"
"Wait!Wait!Wait!Wait!Wait!!!
"But that's an invitation from the sea power Kurtilas and the number one power Lordaren!?" In Ryan's eyes, the Storm Kingdom at this moment is a broken ship.
What kind of world joke, I just got on the best boat and now the captain tells me to jump ship?
Only Duke knew that after a period of history, the seven human kingdoms, except for the Storm Kingdom, were all wiped out or destroyed.
Duke couldn't calm down at all, and he knelt down on one knee: "Although I am not a native of the Stormwind Kingdom, I like the Stormwind Kingdom. Here, there is a majesty who trusts me, and there is a commander who is willing to cooperate with me, and here I can give full play to my strengths. If you still don't believe it, you should at least believe your deceased friend Medivan. ”
"Medivan?" Hearing his friend's name suddenly, Ryan was in a trance.
"Yes, you can think of Karazhan as a legacy, or you can think of it as a transaction. Medivan gave me Karazan, gave me a direct passage to the supreme throne of the mysterious world, and in return, I willingly, I am also obliged to protect the kingdom of Stormwind. So Your Majesty, don't think too much about it. Even if I marry a noble lady, it will only be one more Duchess of Karazhan, not one more prince of a certain country. ”
Hearing this, Ryan finally put his mind at ease.
At this time, Lothar came with Archbishop Fao of the Holy Light, and Lothar quietly opened the glass lattice door of the terrace, and Duke went to open the door.
"Archbishop Alonsos has something to say to us. ”
Alonsos walked over and smiled slightly: "I won't delay you too much, but I think what I do will help you and the alliance a lot." First of all, the Kingdom of Stormwind is righteous. The Church of Light will not only support the Alliance, but after defeating the Orcs, the Church will launch a fundraiser among the faithful to support the rebuilding of the Stormwind Kingdom. ”
This sentence carries a lot of weight.
Ryan's Stormwind Kingdom has all but lost its source of funding, and every support is precious.
"Thank you, Father. Ryan bowed slightly.
"The second thing, and most importantly, I discovered a new use of the Light. Very important to use. (To be continued.) )
