After receiving the affirmation of Ryan and Duke's eyes, Van Cleef took a deep breath: "Don't be afraid to tell the truth, Lord Duke doesn't have much 'cement', and one of the important materials of 'cement' comes from Angolo Crater." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 InfoWe used Duke's funds to collect it before, and we only bought about 100 tons from the venture capital company of the Valley of Thorns Goblin. This has already emptied all of their inventory. The remaining materials are only enough to make 30 trebuchet towers or 80 arrow towers, and ...... It can take up to 10 days at the earliest. ”

Don't think that the nobles are very knowledgeable, educated, cultivated, and noble characters, except for the skin that has undergone strict etiquette training and the skills of reading and writing, the nobles of this era are no different from most ordinary people.

Geographical knowledge was also limited to the nobles in the southern part of the continent, who did not realize that the Angolo crater was on the other side of the sea, a distant place on another continent.

"Waste! In 10 days, the warriors of Stormwind would have been exhausted!" On the other side, a duke stood up, his angry voice almost terrifying Van Cleef.

Van Cleef is not the brave Van Cleef who was cornered and dared in later generations. At the moment, he is just a follower of Duke who was born as a stonemason. He didn't even have a chance to determine how much Duke trusted and supported him. It's completely a state of catching ducks on the shelves.

The duke had no idea that Duke would work against him as a duke for the sake of Van Cleef, a 'dog' from humble origin.

He slapped the table, and Duke slapped even louder.

"Bang!" almost all the royal guards thought that the enemy was coming, and each guard put his hand on the hilt of his sword, and saw clearly that Duke slapped the table before secretly letting go of his hand again.

"You're a shit, you don't even know that Angolo Crater is on the other side of the sea, so you talk nonsense about my people. If there really were so many 'cement', I would have raised all the walls of Stormwind City to 200 feet high, and the orcs would not be able to climb even if they could fly. ”

Duke is telling the truth. In a world without modern industry, it's too difficult to get the right cement. The only thing that can be done is cement with volcanic ash as the main raw material. That's why he set his sights on the Angolo crater and asked Van Cleef to collect materials in large quantities through various channels.

The truth is the most hurtful!

"Poof!" It was clear that Duke was swearing, and many people were amused by Duke's retort. This kind of direct scolding of the other party for ignorance also hit the scolding, and the laughter brought by it embarrassed the duke even more.

The other duke stood up: "Well, I would like to ask Sir Lothar, if there are these arrow towers, how long can you keep them?"

Lothar raised a finger: "The limit is one month, and it's still that sentence, it is impossible for the troops responsible for the final break to survive." ”

"Okay, then the question is back to square one......"

"No, not back to square one. Duke interrupted the duke: "Isn't it just 10 days, I'll just fight for it." ”

Duke patted Van Cleef on the shoulder: "You can just rest assured that your people will do their part." ”

For some reason, Van Cleef had the feeling of wanting to cry. In his impression, the nobles are all covering each other and acting in embarrassment.

'There is nothing that cannot be solved by the exchange of interests', this is the famous saying among the aristocracy. Van Cleeff had thought for a moment that Duke, who was a noble earl, would not stand up for a man of humble origin. That's a duke!

Duke didn't feel anything, but Van Cleef didn't. Van Cleef, who has been mixing two mouthfuls of bread in Stormwind for generations, has a natural fear of high-ranking nobles.

Who knew that Duke not only spoke, but also choked the other party half to death.

Suddenly, Van Cleef felt the urge to die for Duke. Now that Duke not only took care of himself, but also protected him, Van Cleef's eyes welled up with tears.

Not many people cared about the emotions of the little man Van Cleef, and everyone focused on Duke's words.

"Ten days? Are you really sure? The sand in the hourglass is more expensive than gold, and we are now in a race against death!" King Ryan kindly reminded Duke.

"Oh, thank God, if Duke could do it, it would be a great help. "Lothar, who has worked more with Duke, has an almost blind optimism. He didn't know how Duke did it, but he knew Duke for sure that he wouldn't talk nonsense.

Ryan looked at the aristocrats in the commotion and frowned, "What are you going to do?"

The second duke had apparently already taken some of the blame at Duke: "There is no point in lying in front of His Majesty's throne, whether for comfort or other reasons. Now we are talking about the life and death of nearly half of the soldiers and civilians of the Storm Kingdom, and we can't afford to talk nonsense about a kid like you. ”

He was the king, and he could force his way through Duke's proposal if necessary, but until then, it would be best to convince the crowd.

Duke stretched out and leaned back on a comfortable bench, his fingers crossed on his lower abdomen.

"It seems that your people think differently. Last night, your housekeeper approached my subordinate Makaro and said that he would allocate two more boats to transport treasures to your family. Hehe, if you don't believe me so much, why are you looking for my subordinates?"

Everyone knows that Duke is pulling two things together. Believing that Duke could hold the orcs for ten days is completely different from believing in Duke's fleet.

But Duke's political IQ is either zero, or Duke is deliberate. At such times, tell Ryan that it is these moths who demand that the lives of his most cherished citizens be put at risk, and that valuable space should be freed up for the treasure.

Almost at the same time, Ryan, Lothar, and Boval were all in the middle of nowhere.

"Uh, oh, there is such a thing!? impossible!" the duke denied at first, but apparently he immediately realized that he could not fool himself: "I have been busy with military affairs lately, maybe there is such a thing, if there is, I will definitely punish the butler severely, actually doing such a dirty thing in the name of our nobles." Well, Count Marcus, don't digress from the topic, whether you can delay for 10 days is a matter of the survival of the entire kingdom. ”

The poor butler would probably have been a scapegoat. Anyway, if you hit him with a dog, you were also slapping him in the face. Duke didn't care, he had already had his own ideas about the nobles of the Stormwind Kingdom.

Of course, the topic returns to the 10th that I am most concerned about.

"It's very simple, since the Elwyn Forest has been taken over by those green skins, then I'll burn half of the forest. ”

The moment Duke's words fell, the audience fell silent, and everyone gasped.

How dare Duke!(To be continued.) )
