Chapter 222: The Night of the Alliance (Part I) (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Actually, a lot happened on October 12. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The first was that Lothar's military rank was set as Generalissimo of the Union.
In order to show respect for the descendants of Soladin the Great, the kings who directly joined the alliance army were all generals, so there were magical military ranks such as Admiral Ryan Ureon and Admiral Dalin Prodmoore.
By the way, because of the mastery of more than 100 warships and nearly 7,000 private soldiers in the former Bloodsail Fleet, Duke actually has a strange double rank - Vice Admiral and Commodore of the Army.
As for how to rule, during the banquet that night, Duke solved this problem well.
That's right, banquets.
With so many human kingdoms united, this is a once-in-a-millennium event, and a grand banquet was held at the palace of Lordaeron that night. The nobles who didn't have a chance to come out and brush their faces before all ran out. Those who are eligible to enter are at least an earl.
Of course, there is no need to say that the earl and marquis or something, if it were not for the duke who was in charge of the army, he would not even be qualified to go to the middle and play happily.
It just so happens that Duke is the star of the alliance - the inheritor of Medivan, the slayer of Sargeras, the bitter lord of the 100,000 tribes, the youngest sky mage, the duke of the Stormwind Kingdom, and the master of the vast naval fleet.
Either way, it's enough to put Duke in the limelight.
King Dalin has long black hair soaked in the smell of seawater, and his long and curly mustache makes him very manly, and you can see from his well-defined and attractive face that Dalin was definitely a beautiful man when he was young.
Soon after the banquet began, he came to Duke with his eldest son, Drake.
Duke made eye contact with Ryan. Of course, Ryan knew why Dalin came, in fact, Ryan didn't understand Duke's decision, but Duke's foresight was far above him, and in the end, Ryan agreed with Duke's decision.
"Hello, Duke Marcus. As a partner who is about to cooperate to dominate the seas and let the orcs feed the fish, don't you think we should have a good exchange beforehand?" Dai Lin held up the crystal plate full of wine and took the initiative to touch Duke's saucer.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Duke then raised his plate to Drake, the Grand Prince of Kul Tiras, in respect, and then drank the wine from the plate with Dalin and Drake.
"Actually, I envy you mages who have easily captured a fleet with powerful magic. You know, it's going to take at least three years for your fleet to get all the shipyards of Kurtiras up and running day and night. ”
Duke smiled and said nothing: "Your Majesty Prodmore...... You're not trying to ask me for the fleet I got from the Bloodsail Pirates, are you?"
"No, no, no! Don't underestimate me. Even though most of those guys are also from Kul Tiras, since you didn't get it from Kul Tiras, it's certainly your spoils. Even if my men are very unhappy with your group, as long as they still have the insignia of the Alliance on their ships for a day, they will still be our comrades for a day. "King Dalin is obviously a heroic man on the sea, if it is changed to the era of the universe, it is the cosmic overlord of 'my journey is the sea of stars'.
For this kind of hearty man, it is difficult for a normal person to have a bad feeling, unless it is his enemy.
Duke smiled, equally hearty. Not only that, but there was a divine glow in his smile. Whoever sees him will think that he is a selfless saint.
That's right, that's Duke inheriting Medivan's discipline at work.
Follow the system prompts to:
"Discipline Divine Skill [Hypocrisy], because you have gained far more humanity than you should be, if you allow this part of humanity to temporarily dominate your body, you will become a divine existence in the eyes of the world. You will be more like a saint who destroys selfishness and serves the public for the sake of the world. All non-evil faction beings will be more likely to believe your word. ”
Duke spoke, and he didn't even deliberately lower his voice: "No. In fact, I would like to say that I will be more relieved that my fleet is in the hands of His Majesty Dalin, who is an expert in naval warfare. ”
Dalin and Drake were stunned at the same time, almost doubting their ears. Not only them, but also the nobles around them who were willing to listen to their conversation were stunned.
Dai Lin frowned: "Duke Marcus, in fact, I have no intention of ......"
"I know, but after I think about it carefully, this is the best option to maximize the combat power of the Alliance's navy. In fact, I discussed it with His Majesty Ureon, and His Majesty supported my decision. As Duke's words fell, King Ryan walked over and smiled at Dalin and nodded.
Duke continued, "I may be a genius, but only in the realm of spells and strategy. I am a novice who knows nothing about naval warfare. More than a hundred warships can only be used as transport ships in my hands, but in the hands of His Majesty Proudmoor, it is the supreme weapon that can send thousands more orcs to hell in the sea. If it weren't for the fact that the ultimate control of the Naga and the fish-people was in the hands of my master, I would even be willing to hand them over to your majesty as well. ”
"Please don't shirk, this is for the sake of the Alliance. "Ryan, who has figured it out, is also extremely open-minded.
Duke's voice fell, and a commotion quickly spread around the four of them.
There was a whisper of admiration.
What is to destroy private and serve the public, what is to take care of the overall situation, this is it!
Which king doesn't have his own plans to form an alliance?
Dalin was definitely very enthusiastic about Duke's fleet, and privately complained about Duke's tyrannical destruction in front of his son.
Now people say "for the sake of the alliance!" and the fleet of more than 100 warships will transfer it when they say it, what kind of internationalist spirit is this! You must know that if Dai Lin is black enough, he can completely wipe out the rare family wealth of the Stormwind Kingdom.
Duke was so generous that the original little grumble in Dalin's heart had already flown out of the atmosphere.
Holding up the wine plate that the waiter had filled for him again, Dalin said loudly to the surroundings, "You have heard, Vice Admiral Marcus is willing to transfer all the ships to me for the sake of the Alliance, and Dalein Prodmoor will take command." ”
"Hear. The nobles said in unison.
"Since His Excellency Marcus is willing to make such a concession for the sake of the Alliance, I cannot afford to be left behind. I, Darin, swear in the name of a descendant of Emperor Soladin the Great that I will never treat the fleet given to me by Lord Marcus, even if the First Fleet of Kurtilas is gone, and I will not let Lord Marcus's fleet be destroyed. ”
The surrounding uproar spread like water waves, quickly spreading throughout the banquet hall, and everyone applauded. Praise Duke and Ryan for their generosity.
The alliance is most afraid that the kings are hiding and tucking, and no one is willing to send the main force, so in the end, Lothar is likely to become a single commander.
Now, it's clear that Duke is off to a good start.
With Duke taking the lead, presumably the other kings were embarrassed to send those ugly second-line troops out. (To be continued.) )
