Chapter 617: An Alliance Without an Alliance Leader (Part I)

"Authorized?" Ryan was a little stunned. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Yes, I want Your Majesty to authorize me to become the Pioneer Lord. If I succeed in controlling the Swamp of Sorrow, then the Swamp of Sorrow will become my fiefdom. Based on this, I want to build a composite line of defense that spans several regions and has strategic depth. ”

There was another uproar among the kings.

If you look at it purely in terms of area, Duke, who really has so many fiefdoms, even if it is an independent state, will surpass Gilneth, the third in the alliance, in one fell swoop in terms of territorial area alone, and become a human power second only to the Stormwind Kingdom.

But everyone knows that in addition to the fertile, the East Elwyn Forest in Duke's fiefdom is relatively fertile, the East Twilight Forest and the water-stopping lake in the Red Ridge Mountain are of average level, and the rest of the headwind trails and sad swamps are ghost places that humans with normal brains don't want to live.

The twilight forest is too eerie to see the light of day all year round.

The Red Ridge Mountains are too barren to grow many crops.

The upwind trail was left without grass after the big explosion.

The Swamp of Sorrow is full of monsters, and there are many orcs in the entire swamp who can't get back to the Dark Gate and are trapped in the swamp to continue fighting guerrillas with the Alliance.

Duke is using his own financial resources to help the alliance shoulder the task of acting as a barrier!

Obviously, Duke has become famous, and he can do nothing and be a rich man in his territory. But now he resolutely shoulders the hardest and most tiring work......

For a while, the eyes of the alliance bigwigs were a little moist.

Even Antonidas had tears in his eyes, and his mouth squirmed a few times: "Duke, you have worked hard. ”

Duke shrugged: "No way, who told Ryan to divide my territory closest to the Dark Gate." ”

Ryan wiped the corners of his eyes: "Don't splash dirty water on me, as long as you say a word, the western wilderness that has now become a thousand miles of fertile land is yours." ”

Anduin Lothar stepped forward, his burly figure very oppressive: "Yes, I'll change with you." I'm a warrior who can only fight, and it seems like a guy like me is suitable for guarding the border. Putting you in the Cursed Land is a great waste of your abilities. What's more, the commander-in-chief of the alliance is me, not you. It stands to reason that you should listen to me. ”

Duke shook his head, and instead looked at Antonidas, "Anduin, guarding the Dark Gate has never been a simple battle. How much do you know about magic, and how much do you know about spatial teleportation?"

Speaking of this, Duke said almost word for word: "If Master Antonidas is partnered with you, then we are absolutely assured." ”

In a sense, this is already a forced palace, and it depends on whether Antonidas is willing to make self-sacrifices for the alliance.

Antonidas's old face is really blue and red, people can easily become stubborn when they get old, and they will not be willing to change after adapting to many things. It wasn't that he coveted the peace of Dalaran, but that he couldn't give up this leisurely life where he could often experiment with what he liked.

asked him to give up his position as Speaker of Dalaran and go to that barren land to guard the border, he ...... Reluctant.

It seems that seeing Antonidas's embarrassment, the alliance bosses are a little embarrassed.

They didn't accuse this human race's only Archmage of the Dawn Sun, and let them leave their country behind to guard the border thousands of miles away all year round, and they didn't do it.

At this awkward moment, a voice suddenly came: "It's not good to let an old man go to the border." Why don't you let me, as Councilor Dalaran Kenrito, go?"

Crassus!

An existence with absolutely sufficient weight, both status, status, and ability.

In the eyes of most outsiders, he was just a Radiant Moon Archmage. Duke knew the meaning of his other dragon name, Cleostraz.

Crassus wouldn't casually come to Duke as his younger brother, and if there was no instruction from the Red Dragon Queen Alexstasa behind this, he wouldn't believe him if he killed Duke.

Duke smiled brightly: "If it is His Excellency Crassus, then you can't ask for it." ”

"Luo Ning troubled Your Excellency before. I am willing to go, in fact, it is also to repay Your Excellency for taking care of the person I value the most. ”

Does Crassus value Ronin the most? In the eyes of this dragon, there is only his Majesty the Queen.

Of course Duke will.

At this time, Lothar seemed to see hope, and he ran out again to steal the show: "Yo, Duke, do you agree that His Excellency Crassus has enough strength to guard the Dark Gate?"

"Of course. "Duke didn't know he had been tricked yet.

Lothar looked like he had succeeded in his treacherous plan, and the beard on his face was like a flower, and he looked very inadequate: "Alright, then I and Lord Crassus will join forces to defend the Cursed Land." ”

Duke's face suddenly collapsed: "Hey, it's okay......"

"Somebody told you about it. Ryan interrupted Duke mercilessly: "What's more, if you want a Morning Star mage to guard the Dark Gate, wouldn't it make the tribe on the other side of the door think that our alliance is unmanned?"

Uh, Ryan has a point, Duke is speechless!

Not only Ryan, but the other alliance bigwigs also nodded in unison.

At this time, Aurelia in a lake blue floor-mopping evening dress came over, and she lightly grabbed Duke's arm: "Yes, boy, you better go and practice more." Not even a Radiant Moon Mage, it's a shame for you to stand up and show my face. ”

Seeing that Aurelia, who is a high elf, is teaching the human boy Duke, the identity of the two is still love. How weird this scene is, how weird it is.

For a moment, the heartless group of dwarves burst into laughter first, and then the human side followed suit.

Laughing aside, everyone admires Duke's vision.

Duke could only give in: "Okay, I'm in charge of coordinating the construction of the Watchtower." The guards will be handed over to Anduin and Crassus, but we all have to have some elite troops to calm the field, right?" Duke stretched out three fingers of his right hand, and gently rubbed his index and middle fingers with his thumb, looking like an unscrupulous profiteer asking for money.

Since Duke doesn't want money, the bigwigs still have a lot of room to spare.

Solas was the first to speak: "The Arathi Heights are all destroyed, and my Highland Knights can't afford to raise them, so I'll lend them to you for the next five years." ”

The Highland Knights of Riptide Fort are recognized as the fiercest in the Alliance. On the surface, it is an establishment of 1,000 people, but counting the retinue and knight apprentices, it is at least a cavalry establishment of 4,000 people.

Antonidas sighed, just now he refused to go to the Watch Castle has fallen behind, and now that he has the heart to repair the relationship with these allies, then he can't be stingy: "I promise that the Watch Castle will have at least one and a half mage regiments all year round, but it will be rotated. ”

Daelin spoke, "The Kurtilas are not good at land warfare, but I can give a hundred heavy guns to the Watch Fort first. (To be continued.) )
