Chapter 441: Unexpected Declaration
"But I can't avoid it!" Arthas clenched his fists hard, "That guy from Aichinus claims to be the regent, but he wants me to make decisions at critical times, and there are many things I don't even know. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoBy the time I knew, I already had to pick one of the two bad decisions that wasn't so bad. I don't understand, in essence, what is the difference between me and you, the commander-in-chief, in making choices?"
There was a sudden silence all around.
Even though the side hall was empty, the devil knew if anyone next door would eavesdrop.
No, it should be said that Duke was sure that someone was eavesdropping, and he didn't even need a system prompt, he had already heard that heavy breathing. Duke didn't know who it was, Duke just knew that he had to be cautious.
Duke cupped his cheeks: "Can I ask you a somewhat brutal continuity question?"
You ask. Arthas made a gesture of please.
"You're adrift on the sea with a boatload of refugees, and you can't count on rescue, and suddenly you find out that a third of the people are infected with the plague, what do you do?"
"I ......," Arthas said with a pained look on his face, "I'll let those thirds jump into the sea." ā
Isolation, and then leaving the infected to fend for themselves, is the most common way to deal with the plague in this era.
Duke was noncommittal: "What if you found out at this time that the remaining half of the people were actually infected with the plague?"
"Let them jump into the sea too. Alsace's voice had been quieted.
"After a while, you will find out that there are still half of the remaining people......"
"That's enough! you're torturing my conscience and soul!" Alsace snapped up with his eyes glazed.
"No, I didn't torture your conscience and soul. Duke looked at Arthas coldly: "I'm just telling you, you don't judge every problem with your shallow common sense, and then badly drive yourself into a dead end." The biggest difference between you and the commander in chief is the comprehensiveness of the problem!"
"Comprehensive!?"
"Yes, I just asked you what to do? I didn't force you to deal with it according to the rules of the times. ā
Arthas was stunned: "What then?"
Duke's voice snapped:
"Have you studied medicine?"
"Have you asked if there are any doctors among the refugees?"
"Is there a pastor?"
"Have you confirmed the type of plague?"
"Is there any hope for a cure?"
A series of five 'do you have any' blasted Alsace into a daze, and he defended: "But I don't know that common sense at all......"
"That's why I asked you to find out if there are any doctors among the refugees? As a commander, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, you can leave it to the experts. You'll have to appoint someone who seems to be the most reliable guy to be your advisor in this area. You won't choose, just let the people on that side choose one for themselves. If you can't judge, leave it to the experts to judge for you. ā
Alsace was first shocked, but after the shock was a heartfelt admiration. There is a reason why Duke Marcus, who turned out to be the deputy commander of the Alliance and the Horde, who had won so many great battles, was successful.
Is this the difference between yourself and the top commanders?
That's right! After receiving the alarm from the deputy commander-in-chief, since the regent is incompetent, he should shoulder this responsibility and arrange things as completely as possible, instead of doing nothing and waiting for the situation to deteriorate before making a painful choice.
Arthas bowed deeply and bowed to Duke.
"Taught. Sir Marcus, I have only one last question. ā
You ask. ā
Alsace asked solemnly: "What if, in the end, I have no one to rely on, and no common sense in this regard, I have to make my own choice?"
"Avoiding the worst is also increasing your options. The lack of a better option in itself proves that your vision is too narrow. If your wisdom and insight are not enough to create some better options for you, then pick the one you are most worthy of. If you really do your best, your heart will always feel better, at least you can comfort yourself. ā
"Comfort yourself...... Arthas was a little stunned, and his whole body was dazed, as if sleepwalking to bow to Sheduk again, and then departed.
Duke watched Arthas, who was supposed to be the Lich King in history, leave like this, and Duke sighed. He is also quite sorry for the fall of Alsace in history. This cannot be blamed on the historical Alsace, which in itself is the conspiracy of the most savvy and shameless demons who are most savvy and shameless.
Duke didn't know if he would be able to reverse the 'future' of Alsace's fall. Maybe he'd be like Ryan, Van Cleef, and Lilath to change the tragic fate of death, maybe not, but at least he tried.
"Rather than regretting nothing, why don't you regret it later?" Duke said as if to himself.
"Yes! Well said!" a crisp female voice suddenly came into Duke's ears, and Duke instinctively felt that the voice was a little familiar.
In the next second, he found out who the owner of the voice was - Princess Kalia Minethiel.
Duke was dumbfounded.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess......"
A girl in a pure white floor-sweeping low-cut dress stood alone at the door of the side hall.
Seeing the girl cross her fingers in front of her chest as if to suppress her excitement, Duke suddenly felt a feeling of [pure].
He didn't know if his snort was mixed with a slight sigh.
Obviously, all the noise at this moment disappeared because of the girl's concentration.
Everything else would be reduced to impurity, and the two pure, focused, and even a little fanatical divine lights in the girl's eyes were overwhelming.
Almost into a real love, like a prayer that penetrates the heart, Duke felt the admiration in the girl's eyes almost instantly.
Princess Kalia ...... Crazy about me?
I have to say that Princess Kalia is indeed a stunning beauty, her exposed skin is crystal clear, her body is so slender that it seems to be porcelain that will be broken at the touch of a touch, and the whole person exudes a kind of distracting beauty.
The problem is, Duke has never had an idea of Princess Kalia!
In Duke's eyes, Lordaeron's royal family is a pit. He had no intention of befriending the royal family of Lordaeron at all. When he met Princess Kalia's eyes, Duke was stunned.
The breathing was getting heavier, and the girl was obviously very, very nervous, and she seemed to have forgotten what she had to say.
The princess's voice was full of trills, and she was a little incoherent: "Thank you for the roses that day...... I, but I'...... What touched me the most was that you saved the whole city and saved me when the city of Lordaeron was about to collapse. ā
"Well, that's how I should be. ā
"I ...... I...... I...... Can you make me your follower?"
"Huh!?" Duke was stunned again! )
