Chapter 209: Marshal Stallman (Just Be Happy, 1 Little Bear Reward)
Unbeknownst to Duke, he was conspired to sell by the Queen and Bolval, a seemingly loyal bastard. If www.biquge.info is done, it will really be sold and help people count the money.
After returning to Nanhai Town, Duke was really busy.
He only had a few words to talk to the mayor of Nanhai Town, the future legend Henie Mareb, and was immediately overwhelmed by a sea of things. In the makeshift residence, a wooden house with a living room, a dining room, and two bedrooms, Duke had to deal with a mountain of official documents and a jumble of requests.
Obviously, Bolval hadn't played SimCity games and didn't understand urban planning. His fiefdom has been passed down from his ancestors since ancient times. Moreover, Berval is a relatively pure martial artist, and he is really not good at internal affairs. So in the end, the internal affairs all came to Duke's side.
Because we know that Duke has strict requirements for urban planning, in the general direction, it is still necessary to obtain Duke's consent before proceeding.
With a wave of his hand, Duke first held down Mayor Mareb with a concession from Barov.
"Your lord, Duke Barov, has allowed us to establish a refugee camp and its associated facilities anywhere in the Hills of Hillsbrad. ”
Then Duke got the former civil magistrates of Stormwind City, and with a stroke of his pen, he drew a circle of all the meadows on both sides of the 100-kilometer road from Southsea Town to Hillsbrad Farm - well, it was all reclaimed as farmland, and he made it his home.
Duke then asks Wendthor to gather his men to clean up the snowman in the mine on the north side of the avenue. This huge humanoid creature that is more than three meters tall is a great threat to the refugees of the Stormwind Kingdom.
Well, by the way, there is a nearby pit called Jasper Cave, which was also laughed at by Duke.
In the end, Duke waited for two unexpected characters, his followers Edwin Van Cleeff and Grian Stallman.
"Your Excellency Duke Marcus, Greetings to you by Grian Stallman, Sheriff of the Wild West. ”
Looking at the middle-aged man with gray hair in front of him, Duke was unconsciously stunned.
Grian Stallman, Duke has actually been paying attention to this person. It's simple, because according to history, this guy will mix into the position of marshal. In the calamitous Storm Kingdom, one of the few grassroots heroes who have the life to climb to the top.
Unlike Wendsol, who hung up on 'History', Grian was a late bloomer, and until Duke crossed over, Grian was still a good matchmaker in the position of marshal.
Grian was born in the Wild West.
In 'history', he retreated to Southsea with Lothar during the fall of Stormwind, and then joined the Knights of the original paladin Uther. At that time, it was mainly in the holy city of Stratholme.
Later, Lordaeron became chaotic, and the Brotherhood of Defia rebelled in the wilderness of his hometown. He returned to the Wild West alone to help his fellow villagers.
Because Stormwind did not send any assistance to the Wild West at that time, Old Man Grian was very angry, so he put on his battle robe again and called on the people of the Wild West to spontaneously form the People's Army of the Wild West to fight against the Brotherhood of Defia.
Later, the Brotherhood fell, and Varian returned. This was followed by the Northern Expedition.
Stallman's People's Army also participated in the Northern Expedition and received the establishment of a regular army, renamed the Moon Creek Brigade. Grian himself returned to the rank system, and the title rose up.
After the end of the Northern Expedition, the old man returned to his hometown with the Western Wilderness Brigade to aid in the construction. But soon the cataclysm struck, and the remnants of the Brotherhood revived.
In this way, in the midst of repeated tosses, Grian Stallman also climbed to the position of marshal.
Well, Duke knows anyway, it's true that Grian is a super awesome.
Now, the second sentence that came out of the marshal's mouth was:
"Your Excellency, I spoke to your follower, Mr. Van Cleef, and I thought we could open up a battlefield behind enemy lines in the Wild West and break the orc's control over the Wild West. In the future, prepare for His Majesty Wrynn's counterattack on Stormwind. ”
"Poof!" Duke squirted! He did!
Squirted out the water he had just drunk in front of Van Cleef and Stallman. Even though he turned his head sideways, he still squirted.
What the hell is this?
This pair of good friends, who loved and killed each other in history, actually told him that they would join forces to open up a battlefield behind enemy lines in the western wilderness?
Hey, Van Cleef, did you know that the task in 'history' that got your head around your neck was Stallman's ......
Duke complained in his heart, but when he thought about it, he immediately knew Stallman's reason.
Duke pretended to be serious and took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth: "Sorry, rude." I didn't mean to laugh at you, I just happened to think of something. ”
Van Cleeff and Stallman looked down at the same time as the non-existent ants on the floor, pretending not to see Duke spraying water. Duke is now a big man with all kinds of opportunities, and being able to take the time to meet them is already completely for Van Cleef's face, and Stallman, who is now just a small local sheriff, certainly doesn't dare to say anything, so he can only rot his doubts in his stomach.
Duke crossed his fingers under the tip of his nose, covering half of his face, with a serious expression: "Please note that Your Majesty Wryn has issued an edict before going to Lordaeron to seek support, and in order to deal with a possible further invasion by the orcs, all Stormwind forces are now starting to regroup, and they are not allowed to leave the Hillsbrad Hills region. Well, I'd like to hear your reasoning. Real reasons. ”
The two guys looked at each other, and Grian Stallman spoke first.
"Your Excellency, I am a native of the Wild West. Everything about the Wild West is clear to me. His Majesty has indeed issued a royal decree for the people of the Wild West to take refuge, and you have sent a ship to pick up the people of the Wild West. But in fact, at least nearly 10,000 people still refuse to leave their land, hiding in various mines, living temporarily on the basis of food storage. They needed Kingdom support. The kingdom will also need their support in the future counterattack against Stormwind. Just as when Stormwind was besieged, it was the food of the Western Wilds that helped sustain Stormwind. ”
After Grian finished speaking, Duke turned his gaze to Van Clev, "What about you?"
"Master ......" seemed a little difficult to say, but Van Cleef said it anyway: "When I left Stormwind, I always wanted to do more for you. Shortly after I arrived, I passed the Rogue's Profession Test. The instructor said I was a thief genius who came in 50 years. So I thought if I led a team of thieves, maybe it would be more helpful to you, master. ”
Duke sighed in his heart, sure enough, talent is talent. Van Cleef was a thief. It's just that history has completely changed, and the Brotherhood of Defia, which everyone shouted at in history, is destined not to appear again. Then it is not unusual for Stallman to follow Van Cleef to join him.
Everyone knew that he Duke could recruit 10,000 private soldiers, and as long as he agreed, he could completely bypass the king's ban.
Duke thought for a moment, "Alright!" (To be continued.) )
