Chapter 353 - Earn a lot of money (4800 monthly passes)
The status quo seems to be caught in an unsolvable loop. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Aurelia was unable to stop the Sun King and the Silvermoon Council from dying. Because the elves are stuck, the alliance can't help if they want to.
Similarly, even if Duke could fight again, it would be impossible to single-handedly collect more than 50,000 elite orcs. What's more, Aurelia also discovered one thing - it seems that the strongest warlock of the tribe, Gul'dan, has caught up with Orgrim's team on a red dragon with his henchmen.
For Gul'dan, a super law powerhouse who can actually suppress the fat beating of Antonidas, the strongest mage in the human race, letting Duke go up as a Morning Star mage will only deliver food.
And even if Duke wanted to go, he would be completely opposed by all the generals of the Stormwind Kingdom faction.
At this moment, Aurelia fell into despair.
"Sister, let's go! Since humans won't help, we'll go back on our own. Sylvanas was resolute, and she took her sister's hand hard.
Aurelia gave Duke one last pleading look.
Duke took a deep breath: "Actually...... There's one last option. ”
As soon as Duke spoke, the audience was silent, every pair of eyes stared at Duke, every heart stopped beating temporarily, and everyone held their breath.
"You say. Aurelia instinctively stirred.
"Aurelia Windrunner, would you like to be a patriotic traitor?"
"Patriotic ...... Traitor?" Aurelia and the others were stunned by Duke's words.
Duke said in a deep voice: "Even if it is a great lord, it is a crime of treason to invite foreign troops into his country without permission. But you, Aurelia, you can be this traitor because you are patriotic, because you want to save the people of the High Elves. Of course, this comes at a cost. ”
"At what cost?" Aurelia's eyes lit up.
"I can accept the employment of you, Aurelia Windrunner, as a wandering duke, with all my private soldiers. The problem is that everybody knows I'm not short of money. So the price is: after this battle, you must take at least 1,000 elites of the Windranger family, give up the status and identity of Quel'Thalas, and become a vassal of my Duke Marcus. ”
Duke's voice fell, and everyone was stunned. The next moment, everyone thought about it, and it seemed that it was really feasible.
First of all, Duke is not a king. His identity is not so noble that he can't be fooled no matter how foolish. It would be right to say that Duke was a wandering duke. The kingdom of the storm has fallen! a kingdom without territory is not recognized. Didn't you see that after Duke Farreville left Kurtiras, he became a pirate leader, and who would really recognize him as a duke.
Secondly, even with the so-called private soldiers, the strength of Duke's command is quite amazing. In addition to the basic 10,000 private soldiers, Duke also has a regiment of mages. And, to fool around, things still have a lot to do.
In the end, there is the price.
Legally, even if Quel'Salas joins the alliance afterwards, someone must take the blame for this kind of thing. Duke's affair with Aurelia is well known. The problem is that Duke will be super troublesome if he does want to marry Aurelia.
The union of a Duke of another country with General Quel'Salas must be approved by the Sun King and the Council of the Silver Moon. When the time comes, it is really unknown what kind of trouble Duke and the Windranger family will suffer.
Duke took the opportunity to pick Aurelia out, and it was really a double win. Besides, there is the strongest elven ranger in the Thousand Continents?
It is precisely because of such conditions that Duke's 'deal' will not look like a loss in the eyes of all nobles. Otherwise, the nobles will only think that Duke is an idiot, and I am afraid that the Sun King will really pursue it, and no one will protect Duke except for the Storm Kingdom.
At this time, Aurelia fell into an infinite entanglement.
A patriotic traitor, in exchange for the survival of tens of thousands of compatriots.
Aurelia's conscience and favor for Duke prevailed in an instant in both intellect and emotion: "Duke, I can personally promise you. But I can't answer in the affirmative for the rangers of the Windranger family. ”
"No, 1000 rangers, not one is missing. It's a matter of attitude!" Unexpectedly, it was Illusia who bargained for Duke.
Duke was stunned.
Even more surprising things for Duke were yet to come.
"I know my brothers and sisters, and there can't be a thousand Windranger rangers who are willing to give up their homeland. 300 people, that's already the limit. Sylvanas interjected.
Illusia was anxious: "We can't accept such conditions!"
"It's certainly not fair. However, as long as Duke can cover the evacuation of more than 20,000 civilians in the Eternal Song Forest to Silvermoon City this time, I am willing to give up Quel'Thalas's status and become your vassal with my sister. ”
Duke's brain was in a state of panic for a second.
Surprise!
Definitely an unexpected surprise!
Duke never imagined that he would be able to reap such a big benefit by attacking Quel'Thalas with the help of the Horde. That's Aurelia and Sylvanas!The eldest and second eldest of the Windranger family!The two strongest rangers in the world!In terms of strength, even the third sister Wen Resa still has a big gap compared to the two of them.
Not to mention the original history, one is a great hero who stood in the Valley of the Kings of Stormwind City, and the other is Her Majesty the Queen who calls for wind and rain in the tribe and even becomes the great chief of the tribe in the distant future.
Nima's, this time it's really profitable!
If it weren't for so many people watching, Duke really wanted to shout three times immediately: "Master, I pit Aurelia and Queen Xi under my hands!"
At this moment, Duke finally had a sense of pride that would completely change history.
Either way, as long as you pass the level in Quel'Salas this time. Then there will be no more Sylvanas who died in Silvermoon City. There will be no more future Queen of the Forsaken.
Forsaken?
Phew, sir, I'm a big living person! I don't care how those bones die!
Originally, Illusia wanted to help Duke fight for more benefits or something, but seeing Duke's excited eyes, she quietly retreated to the side behind Duke's body.
Similarly, Simos and Windsol don't want their boss to run that far to be mercenaries. When they saw Duke's eyes, they all sighed deeply.
Well, I hope it won't be too much of a loss to help the elves this time.
There is a charter for things, and everything is easy to do. When Duke wakes up King Ryan with a magical teleportation overnight, explaining the seriousness of the situation, Ryan surprises Duke and Aurelia.
"If some of the Griffon's Legion warriors volunteer to be your privateers, I won't be able to stop them. Sometimes the nobles always like to secretly increase the number of their private soldiers, but if the king can't find out, then it is not a violation. However, the frontal battlefield will still be indispensable to the elite of the Griffin Legion in the future!" (To be continued.) )
