Janice was a little surprised. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It seems that Duke is not as rumored to be in the outside world, regardless of the internal affairs of the Alliance.

According to the declaration of the alliance signed at that time, from the moment the Dark Gate was destroyed and the Horde was defeated, Anduin and Duke automatically lost the power to command the armies of various countries, and all alliance ranks were temporarily frozen until there was a new threat and the alliance was forced to reactivate the alliance.

This is only in the military sphere. In the eyes of the kings, there were only two commanders of the alliance - Anduin Lothar and Duke Marcus. Mograini is good, that is, at the level of 'good', not a real commander.

And Duke, after leading the army to save so many kingdoms, almost every country in the eleven countries of the alliance has to buy Duke's account, which is the main reason why the Barov family is eager to pull Duk on the ship of Alterac.

After that grain buying incident, Janice didn't pay special attention to Duke anymore, and it felt like a stunned kung fu, the kid who seemed to be immature and was simply King Ryan indiscriminately made a duke has grown into a giant that the whole Barov and even Alterac need to look up to.

Now, Duke is right to the point by saying the name that the entire Barov family, and even the remnants of the entire Alterac Kingdom, are jealous of, and Janice understands that Duke is not really comfortable being his Grand Duke of Storm.

Lady Janice's mood was a little complicated.

Duke's near-prophetic vision, which has been proven time and time again, also makes the entire Barov family palpitate. Even her husband Alex himself said that even if he succeeded in making Duke the son-in-law of the Barov family, he didn't know if it would be a blessing or a curse.

It's a pity that the threat from Lordaeron is the most real now, and judging by Duke's performance in rescuing Quel'Thalas regardless of his previous suspicions, he can only bet that Duke is a person with real high sentiments.

Lady Janice sighed, "Now that you already know, I, as Illusia's mother, would like you to tell me in your private capacity what to do with Alterac? Unless a civil war is waged, Alterac can only sit back and watch a man of unknown origin become King of Alterac with the support of Lordaeron, and then sell out the interests of all of Alterac. Maybe 10 years, maybe 20 years, and Alterac will become a province of Lordaeron. ”

Duke's right index finger tapped lightly on the armrest of the couch he was sitting on. This Lady Janice had a wisdom that he had expected. If Janice asks him in the name of the 'Barov family', he will fool her as the 'Duke of the Stormwind Kingdom'.

The problem is that now she plays the emotional card of Illusia as soon as she opens her mouth. Of course, Duke was a little unhappy, but Duke really couldn't care about the fact that he had been with Illusia for so long, and that a high-ranking aristocratic daughter had helped him work, accompanied him to march and fight, served as an envoy, and worked hard.

Duke sighed and asked rhetorically, "Before answering your question, I will also ask you as half of Illusia's master and friend. What kind of king do you think of Terrenus Minechr II?"

Janice was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "A third-rate military strategist, a first-class politician, he is a compassionate elder without touching the fundamental interests of Lordaeron. ”

Janice's answer is very skillful, revealing her own opinion without unduly denigrating the king of a large country.

Duke leaned back on the sofa, his chin propped up with his left hand, and pointed pointedly: "Since we all think of him as a first-rate politician, do you think Tyrenus will let the people he supports waste a lot of time against the Barov family? ”

"So what? Whether it's General Haas or the Barov family, we've washed away the shame of King Aiden's betrayal with our actions. Lady Janice argued.

"......" Duke was silent.

As a last resort, Janice threw out what she thought was the biggest killer move: "For the sake of the Barov family trying their best to rescue you and the Stormwind Kingdom, and for Illusia's sake, can't you help Alterac? If we work well, we can make Illusia the queen, and you will be the king of Alterac." ”

His calm eyes, his eyes, which seemed to see through all the secrets of the world, made Janice palpitate. Janice suddenly realizes that Duke is probably the kind of ruthless character who won't be impressed by Alterac's modest interests at all.

With a flick of his right hand, Duke flipped the palm of his right hand, and a map of the entire southern continent appeared in front of him, and the next moment, all the areas on the map, including East Elwyn, East Twilight, Red Ridge Mountain, and the Windward Trail, were planted with his Storm Flag. The Swamp of Sorrow and the Lands of the Damned are marked light blue.

He threw out a sentence that shook Mrs. Janice almost out of her mind:

"If I wish, if I say a word, Ureon and Lothar will support me in establishing a nation in these regions. ”

"Ah!" exclaimed Lady Janice.

She couldn't help but be shocked, for the land was staggeringly large, at least twice the size of Alterac.

King Ryan would have recognized Duke to this point!?

With a wave of his hand, the map vanished, and he crossed his fingers with his fingers behind his chin and stared at Lady Janice with a determined gaze.

"But I didn't have that intention from beginning to end, because under the premise that the Third Dark Gate War was coming, the idea of establishing a country or anything was superficial. You don't understand what the world of Azeroth is up against, and if you could see what I see, you'd know that Lordaeron's greed for Alterac was a minor thing. ”

Duke didn't scare Mrs. Janice. In this world, even the Bronze Dragon King Nozdorm can't compare to Duke. Duke knows the entire history of Azeroth, and Nozdorm's peek into the future comes at a cost.

Janice bit her lip, and seemed to be a little unwilling: "Duke, are you really unwilling to help the Barov family?"

Duke was silent for a long time, and only the low beeping sound of the wood in the stove in the living room was there.

After some time, Duke finally spoke: "I promise that in the end, I will help the Barov family." ”

Janice's face changed color, she didn't know what the end stood for, literally, at least it would save her and her husband, and Illusia's lives.

But the Barov family, who lost the fertile Hillsbrad Hills fiefdom, who lost Keldaron, who lost Daron Mill, is it still that Barov?

Janice stood up abruptly: "Since you are insincere, Lord Marcus, then please forgive me for retiring. (To be continued.) )
