"Thirty percent of the premium!?Barov's bastard!I'm going to kill him!" Lothar's fury almost broke through the sky. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Calm down! Anduin! Calm down! Stranded in Southsea are the citizens of the Stormwind Kingdom, not the citizens of Alterac. Not even Lordaeron, no kingdom can feed hundreds of thousands of refugees who do not belong to their own country for free!" Ryan poured cold water on Lothar again, and Lothar finally calmed down.

"How's the town of the South Seas now?" Lothar asked not the Morning Star mage this time, but another attendant.

Just then, a letter from the Griffon Knight arrived.

Ryan and Anduin opened the letter and found it to be a letter from Duke Berval Vortagen, who was in charge of guarding the town of Southsea:

"My dear majesty, I know that you have been concerned about the condition of the people stranded in Nanhai Town. Now I'm going to report the latest news. In fact, the situation of refugees is improving rapidly. ”

"More than half of the refugees have moved into houses made of wood, and Mr. Edwin Van Cleeff, who is in charge of building the houses, seems to have adopted a method of building houses called 'molding' from Duke Marcus. Even though the houses all look the same, it is possible to avoid the sun and rain of our people in the shortest possible time. ”

"The new temporary palace has been built, and it is on the top of a hill on the edge of Nanhai Town, overlooking the sea. His Royal Highness Varian loved the new two-storey stone palace. ”

"The fish-men under the command of His Excellency Marcus began to drive large numbers of sea fish to the seashore. I've seen with my own eyes that if you cast a net on the shore, you're sure to catch a fish. It must be said that this is a miracle, and it would be better if you could get food from the Barov family. Because the grain collected from the Western Wilderness and from places like Lordaeron in advance can last up to two weeks. ”

"Although I hate to admit that, in fact, there is absolutely no room for me to interfere in civil affairs. Lord Marcus is perfectly set up, and my meddling will only make things worse. The only problem now is that the people are quite pessimistic about the future of the country, and His Excellency Benedicta has tried his best to reassure the people, but unfortunately, the effect is not great. ”

"Worst of all, because of the lack of food, the necessary equipment, and a clear military objective. The morale of the army is at its lowest ebb. ”

After reading Berwald's letter, Ryan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boval and Benedicta did their best and I can't blame them for anything. Ryan put down the letter.

"It's true that Benedicta is a good man, but not a good man. Lothar said that Archbishop Benedicta of Stormwind was also a good friend of his. The two have been friends for more than twenty years.

"On the contrary, our little Duke always surprises us! I almost forget that he is a mage, not my auxiliary minister. Ryan smiled rarely, "I wonder if we should give Duke Jr. more power and more responsibility?"

"Don't let his appearance fool him, he is a genius, but he is actually only fifteen years old. Lothar showed Ryan the gray of his temples. It was proof of being mutilated by Sargeras's last curse.

"I know, but we don't have anybody, don't we? Even if it's you, I think you should find a deputy. ”

"Well, I'll think about it. ”

Ryan thought about it for a moment and wrote a letter asking Berval to give more autonomy to Duke......

Five days later, the town of Nanhai.

Duke hurried back.

When he returned, he went to Alterac to visit King Alterac. But as Duke expected, he did not meet King Aiden Pirenot.

First, King Aiden was unhappy that Duke actually took a detour to go to the Barov family first instead of the closer Alterac first. Second, Aiden received a secret message about Tyrenus, the king of Lordaeron, and it seems that the king of the strongest of the six kingdoms intends to convene a major meeting for the newly eliminated 'One' involving all human kingdoms, and even the dwarven and elven allies.

King Aiden was distraught, and naturally he didn't have time to greet Duke, the so-called duke who was obviously promoted in order to be an emissary.

An edict allowing the Stormwind Kingdom to establish a refugee camp in the town of Southsea, a meal of food sent by the royal family of Alterant, is like a beggar.

Macaro was naturally angry, but Duke just laughed it off. He knew where 'history' was going, but he knew very well what kind of king Alterac was.

Duke didn't care about anything, got the edict, didn't care about the follow-up grain truck, and went back to Nanhai Town first.

From north to south, out of the Alterac Mountains, into the Hillsbrad Hills, past Talenmere, before reaching the town of Southsea.

Makaro was stunned by the neatly arranged rows of wooden houses on the side of the road, which looked like latticework. Those who don't know the situation think that a sprawling new city has been built here, rather than a refugee camp for nearly 500,000 people.

At the sight of Duke's family flag, full of death and terror, the children playing around the house, the women knitting or cooking food, or the men building the house, everyone looked up in the camp and in the surrounding forest.

"Ah! it's the banner of Lord Marcus!"

"That Lord Marcus?"

"Quick! Bow your head and salute! He is our great benefactor, Duke Duke Marcus. ”

Children and men knelt and the peasant women performed unfamiliar ladyship salutes. There was no organization, no imposition, all spontaneous salutes to Duke.

Not only the people, but also the city guards and magistrates who were responsible for maintaining law and order, and the legionnaires who passed by, knelt down on one knee and put their left hand on their chests to show their heartfelt respect to the owner of the banner.

For the people, a counterattack on Stormwind or something is too far away.

Maybe the people are ignorant, they don't know too many detours, and their focus is only on the simplest and most simple things such as clothing, food, housing and transportation.

Rescuing them from the brutal orcs would naturally earn them a moment of gratitude.

But for the public to truly recognize and agree, it will take a long-term effort to meet at least their basic living needs.

Duke did it.

Not only did he save hundreds of thousands of Stormstorm Nationals with his fleet, but he also made Nanhai Town a national sanctuary without hunger and cold, and without much suffering.

On the way here, not a single refugee died on the way, and not a single citizen showed a desperate expression.

The edifice was about to fall, and Duke did it by his miraculous means.

In the eyes of the people, compared to King Ureon who lost his land and Lothar who was constantly defeated, Duke was the real hero.

"Hail to our hero, His Excellency Duke Marcus—" I don't know if it was the officer who shouted.

A second later, 100,000 soldiers and civilians shouted in unison like a tsunami.

"Long live Lord Duke Marcus—" (To be continued.) )
