Chapter 274: By the Way (Ask for Subscription)
The threat of the Horde has not gone away. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The Alliance and the Horde are like two giant beasts fighting to the death, and they have to make a temporary truce in the face of the weather, each **** their own wounds.
Stranded in the hills of Hillsbrad, the refugees of the Stormwind Kingdom received a critical amount of summer food, which was not enough, and Duke made another trip to the Barov family.
Duke did not see Duke Barov. The Duke went to Alterac, and unexpectedly, Duchess Janice, who received Duke on behalf of the Duke, agreed to Duke's request for food.
"No problem, the people of the Stormwind Kingdom have made outstanding contributions to the resistance tribes, and the Barov family should contribute to this. What about 10,000 tons of wheat this year? ”
This time I was surprised when I went to Duke.
At that time, 5,000 tons was a premium of 30%. Now, at the previous price, it sounds like the Barov family is still too dark. But this is no longer the time. A battle in Nanhai Town has made the entire northern continent realize that the threat of orcs is close at hand.
Those terrible green-skinned beasts are going to slaughter the entire world of humans.
As a result, the price of everything related to people's livelihood is soaring. Even if the Alliance proves its ability to defeat the Horde invasion with a hearty victory. Various kingdoms have also introduced a number of policies to suppress soaring prices, but the most critical food price has still risen by more than 2.5 times.
Sold at the previous price, it was not a pit, but a big bargain!
Duke Huo was moved: "This is really ...... I thank you on behalf of the Stormlanders. ”
"No thanks. To help the citizens of the Stormwind Kingdom is to help the Alliance, to help us Alterac. The Duchess smiled kindly: "Yes, I heard that the equipment of your private soldiers is not enough, is there a place where the Barov family can help?"
In a state of war, the prices of weapons, food, soldiers, everything related to war are skyrocketing.
Duke's luxury business has long since come to a standstill. If it weren't for the fact that Duke's so-called private regiment had been recruited at this time, the militia would have been equipped with a reduced bamboo, known as bamboo guns......
Of course, there is a shortage of weapons for everyone, especially after losing their own homeland. Even when Duke built a blacksmith shop in a refugee camp north of Nanhai Town, workers and raw materials were still scarce.
These things, the Barov family obviously does not lack.
"I'm pretty honest, whether it's the Stormwind Kingdom, or my private soldiers, they need it. Excuse me, what do I have to pay for this? Mrs. Janice. Duke asked politely.
"As a testimony to the friendship between the Barov family and the Marcus family, these small gifts are not worth mentioning. If I have to say what I personally want to get, can I take the liberty of asking Duke to teach you the mysteries of the little girl Illusia's [Multicast]?"
Duke was stunned and immediately smiled.
The best way to deepen ties between nobles is through marriage.
Lady Janice is very smart.
If it was Duke before, the duke would definitely be a good match for the duke's daughter. The current Duke is a hot new star in the Lordaeron Alliance, the deputy commander of the Alliance, plus the glorious achievements of saving five kings and winning the battle of Southsea Town. Duke is almost synonymous with miracles.
There are so many princesses, including Princess Kalia of Lordaeron, who are almost at the mercy of Duke.
If the marriage is proposed again, then it will only be the Barov family who will bring humiliation upon themselves.
On the other hand, the Barov family also urgently needs to find a backup backer. Alterac is too weak, and even if it starts to enter a state of war, the entire Alterac is now only a force of more than 30,000 troops, including 20,000 peasant soldiers. These farmers who have just washed their feet and gone to the fields, both in terms of morale and training, are completely scum-like existences.
Aside from the ambitious Lordaeron, the wandering Stormwind Kingdom is an ideal partner to work with. Maybe the Storm Refugees will still be near Nanhai Town for a long time, but as long as the Seven Kingdoms of the Human Race still exist, as long as the alliance still exists, then the Storm Kingdom will definitely not dare to risk the accusations of the people of the world and covet the land of Alterac instead.
Under the near-curve policy of saving the country, Barov proposed to make Illusia Baiduk a teacher.
In Azeroth, there is no such thing as a teacher for one day and a father for life, but the teacher-student relationship is also a very important one. If it weren't for the sake of national righteousness, the rise and fall of the country, or something, betraying teachers and killing teachers would be shameful for the entire human kingdom. Even if there is a name for righteousness, this is not a glorious thing.
This is also why, in the original history, Khadgar was still criticized by many people for killing Medivan for the sake of the world.
Duke thought for a moment, "I have the responsibility of the deputy commander of the alliance on my shoulders now, and I may not have much time to teach Miss Illusia......"
When she said this, Duchess Janice was so nervous that her heart was almost in her throat. The relationship is like this, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and it is very difficult to maintain it. And now the Stormwind Kingdom has gained a foothold. It was the Barov family, who were weak in military strength, who turned to Duke and the Stormwind Kingdom for the threat of the orcs that were likely to come.
This is different from the past, and the Duke and Stormwind Kingdom at this time can completely leave aside the Alterac and Barov families.
Not befriending Barov is no good or bad for Duke. If you consider the destruction of the Barov family in 'The Hereafter', there is really no need for Duke to save this black-faced family.
At this moment, the faces of the undead versions of Janice and Illusia of the Psychic Academy that appeared in Duke's mind coincided with the Janice in front of him.
For some reason, I suddenly felt a little sympathy for the Barov family. I fought for so long so that I didn't become a ghoul.
Duke seemed to see that the future Illusia Barov stood among a bunch of necromancers, and her family was not far away, but she could only wait alone for the Lich King's summons to summon her to the holy land of the Scourge of the Dead.
And Mrs. Janice frantically dissected corpse after corpse, and at that time she was no longer the elegant and beautiful mistress of the Barov family, and in her crazy eyes, the soulless zombies were her only friends......
Since the First World War, there have been too many kingdoms and families destroyed by three successive wars. Duke is not a savior, and it is impossible to save everyone.
However, since this tragedy happened right under your nose, it is better to save it by the way.
Thinking of this, Duke changed his words: "However, if the Barov family does not dislike it, I am willing to discuss the mysteries of magic with Miss Iluxia." ”
It wasn't until this moment that Mrs. Janice was truly relieved. (To be continued.) )
