Chapter 1364: A Distant War

For Duke's simple and neat agreement, not only did the tribe find it a little incredible, but even Varian felt a little too cheap for the tribe.

Varian will never forget how his father died—not in the shocking Stormwind retreat, not in the brutal Second Battle of the Dark Gate, and even in the first line of battle without being injured, yet in an orc assassination.

As Duke, who has experienced the first and second battles of the Dark Gate, he should hate orcs the most.

Why would Duke say yes?

Is this too sloppy?

Or is it purely emotional?

Varian didn't speak, he was a king, he was a strong man, but when he was put in the entire alliance, he was not strong enough in terms of strength, qualifications, insight or judgment.

Unlike Varian, who had to stand up and carry the flag in history, Varian still has the towering tree Duke to shelter him from the wind and rain.

Maybe he will grow up a little slower, but compared to Varian, who has long been dominated by the ghost wolf's personality and is slightly frizzy and furious, he will make fewer mistakes and grow more steadily.

Suddenly, Varian remembered what Bervar Vortagan had said, and as the regent left by the previous king, Varian admired Anduin Lothar the most, and accepted almost unconditionally all opinions from Anduin.

After Anduin's death, because Duke disappeared again and again, the first time for ten years, the second time for four years. In Varian's upbringing, Duke was basically a name that existed only in legends. So Varian's most trusted elder is Bolval.

Bolval said of Duke: "Except for those who can't get on the stage, there are only two kinds of commanders in the world: one is to use all the resources at his disposal when the war starts, and try to achieve victory, and the other is to obtain all the resources necessary for victory before the war starts, and freeze the victory before the battle, and the so-called battle is just a formality." Obviously, Duke is the latter. ”

Bolval's assessment has always been deeply imprinted in Varian's mind.

"Listen more, do more, ask questions, but never criticize Duke. Because Duke does things, there are always things that we ordinary people can't understand, and every time, he proves himself right. This was Bolval's heaviest admonition.

So Varian stood by and listened quietly like a well-behaved junior.

Duke's promise overjoyed Sal and Woking.

Duke Marcus, as much as I can't say that humans are orcs' best friends, I have to say that you are one of the tribe's most trusted humans. Thrall reached over and held Duke firmly.

Duke sighed, "It's all for Azeroth!, besides, no Azeroth will know what kind of enemy we're going to face next." I can only say that in the coming days, no one can relax their combat readiness. The Burning Legion and the fearsome commander of Kil'Gardan, the evil Elder Gods, have only one Cthun. As a leader, I have to be prepared for the worst. ”

"Then your most pessimistic view is ......"

Duke gritted his teeth: "These guys mentioned above have all run out to make trouble within ten years." ”

Sal and Woking's faces pale at the same time.

If Duke is right, then there really is no reason for the Alliance to wage war against the Horde again. The enemy is still fighting in the nest, and that is really a big death.

"I understand, I'll get the combat readiness plan ready and lay it out. ”

Over there, Kane also ran over, exchanged a few pleasantries, and took Sal away. As victors, the tribal warriors were also eager to see their leader soon and listen to his declaration of victory.

Regarding the loot, there was not much trouble, and it was basically decided after a few words.

When the tribe was gone, and only the Alliance remained, Varian finally asked the question in his heart, "Uncle Duke, will those bad things really happen?"

"Whew!" Duke let out a cloudy breath before handing a note to Varian, "It's not a question of if, it's happened." ”

After reading the translated cipher letter, Varian's eyes suddenly shrank.

"No wonder ......"

"It's no wonder that when you finished playing Haka and tried to pull the team past Kalimdor, I stayed in Stormwind City under the pretext of insufficient capacity. Duke smiled.

In this battle of Silisas, the soldiers sent by the alliance were basically mainly dwarves and gnomes, and forcibly washed the ground with artillery fire. There weren't many infantry, basically some second-tier legions, the famous Scarlet Cross Legion and Griffin Legion or something, none of them came.

It is claimed to be a lack of transportation capacity to the outside world, but anyway, in terms of this coalition army, there are orcs and minotaurs in foot combat, trolls and night elves in the distance, and there are mage groups of the forsaken in the legal system, which is completely sufficient.

At the moment of the great enemy, no one has made any small stumbling blocks.

The results were a great success.

Who would have thought that Duke had already secretly detained the main force, ready to send them all to the Dark Gate at any time.

All of this is based on one name, Draenor, commonly known as the Outlands. The situation there has now changed significantly.

Illidan* Fury, after being defeated in a duel with Arthas, who did not become the Lich King, ran away to the Outlands to make trouble, as in history. It's just that in this life, he doesn't have Kael'thas as an accomplice.

Kaizi, who is not at the end of his rope, is now the leader of the foreign dispatch army officially designated by the Alliance. As a prince of the High Elves, after washing away his shame in the Battle of Mount Hyjal, he was once again regarded as a hero by the elves, and Queen Xi did not prevent his people from taking refuge in Kael'thas.

The biggest difference from the original history is that it was supposed to be Kaizi who led the blood elves to beat the bitter Draenei into dogs, and even took their old nest Storm Fortress in Draenor.

It's a big change in history.

As if guided by fate, Kaizi ran to the Storm Fortress again. Only this time it was the Draenei who were cut down by the army of orcs and were about to be wiped out, and they sent a request for rescue in desperation. Kaizi has a strong sense of justice, and he brought his elves to help.

What a joy this made Duke, a time-traveler who knows history well......

"Are we going to war again?" Magni asked faintly.

"No, not so fast. I'm going to give some reinforcement and let Kael'thas carry it for a while. ”

"It's okay, the morale of the alliance is okay, but the physical strength of the soldiers and the financial resources of the countries are at the limit. Magni sighed.

Without Duke's economic development plan over the years, it is estimated that the alliance would be even more struggling.
