Chapter 990: It’s Weird to Break It Off...

Now, Anduin feels that his long-term trust has finally been rewarded.

Anduin stood up, walked to the balcony of the living room, turned his back to the sky, and faced the south. In that direction was the place where his childhood friend died, and where the royal city of the Kingdom of Stormwind was located.

In his heart, Anduin shouted: "Ryan! Ryan, did you see it? We did not believe in the wrong person! Although Duke is not a saint, he is definitely the biggest contributor to the rise of the Kingdom of Stormwind!"

When Anduin looked back again, Duke saw the burning and endless gratitude in Anduin's eyes.

"Thank you! Duke!"

Duke smiled and waved his hand. He walked to the balcony and stood side by side with Anduin: "You're welcome. I also promised Ryan that I would serve Storm and Azeroth. This is also my promise, but I just chose to cash it in.”

"There are very few people in the world who can remain sober and calm in the face of power." There was ecstasy on Anduin's old face.

"Really?" Duke was unmoved, standing with his hands behind his hands, looking south: "At least, aren't there two here?"

Without any more words, two fists, one big and one small, were knocked gently in the air, one old and one young, looking at each other and smiling.

After experiencing the undead natural disaster, the remnants of the old alliance have been devoured. Without the restraints of the two old stubborns, Terenas and Antonidas, and excluding Jean, who has not yet awakened and may become the old wolf king in the future, it is also possible Without Anastrian in the way, looking at the entire alliance, not only are there more countries than at the same time in history, but they are definitely better in terms of strength and unity.

But among so many countries, the one who can lead the alliance must be a human being. The total human population is large, there are many countries, and the overall strength of the races is stronger, which determines that the alliance can only have humans as the core.

It is a pity that most of the heads of human countries have various problems.

Kalia is just a mascot that Duke has promoted.

Ronin, who is about to take over Dalaran, is too soft-hearted.

Jaina tends to think too much about everything. As the saying goes, a wise man will make mistakes after every thought.

Excluding Gilneas, which has not returned to the Alliance, and Stromgard and Alterac, which were destroyed, in fact, if Duke does not seize power, there is only one Varian who can seriously serve as the leader of the Alliance.

It just so happened that Duke himself was poisoned by Archimonde's parting gift and turned into a black man, so Duke resigned from office.

Duke has asked himself more than once, if there was no threat from the Burning Legion, would he want to be the emperor and become the second Emperor Thoradin?

The answer is yes!

I, who doesn’t want to be the emperor?

If you can manage people, why should you be controlled by others?

It's a pity that he can't be the emperor. This is not as simple as a hot potato. If all human countries form an empire, then the alliance will not be an alliance, but will become an empire and its auxiliary countries.

Will other races be willing to be the younger brothers of the human empire?

Duke calculated it countless times, and the answer was always no.

Joining an alliance where all countries and races are equal is not the same thing at all as joining a huge empire and becoming its wing.

Controlling someone else's queen does not mean completely controlling someone else's country. If the people's dissatisfaction is great, I will show you the uprising. You will cry when the time comes.

Moreover, each race will have deeper doubts. Even if they are forced to join, there will be various conflicts, let alone sincere cooperation. To engage in internal strife in front of the great enemy of the Burning Legion is simply to commit suicide.

Just think about it, if the Alliance has no night elves, no draenei, no pandaren, no werewolves and other races to join, it will be truly over when the Burning Legion's space fleet comes to Azeroth to play airborne.

Instead of setting up an empty shell empire that would be destroyed after ten or eight years of madness, why not pretend to be a saint, gain a good reputation, and be the uncrowned king behind your back?

Anduin could never know that Duke saw such a long-term view, so now he only regards Duke as a true knight with pure and great sentiments like him!

After bidding farewell to Anduin, visiting Magni and Gelbin, and leaving behind more black technology research and development manuals, Duke returned to Fengxing Lake Villa.

After tonight's dinner, tomorrow will be the third day, and the morning is the agreed time to go work for Nozdormu.

After Duke returned to the villa, he felt that the sights around him were strange.

In addition to the loyalty they always have, the eyes of my knights also include admiration and envy. You know that kind of eyes...

Every maid had a blushing face, and although they were all shy, they all held their chests out and their stomachs in check.

Duke held his forehead, feeling a little sore.

As soon as he entered his study, a voice came: "To-Dear Lord Duke Marcus, Grand Duke of Beasts, Your Majesty Kaliya Menethil is eager to attend your home tonight. Yan, if you want to show your bestiality, please seize the opportunity tonight."

Looking at Vanessa, who was standing by the door with an expressionless manner, like the most loyal maid, but spitting poisonous tongue at him, Duke found that his balls hurt even more: "You're dirty! Vanessa..."

"Oh! Do you want to play with the innocent girl's heart of Princess Kalia and then completely trample and abandon it? Okay, I understand, I will reject Her Majesty Kalia right now."

Solanli'an behind her finally couldn't help laughing, and the person involved, Duke, spat out a mouthful of blood.

Damn it!

Vanessa is really ready to fight.

We really shouldn't have put them together back then, and they all formed a gang.

Duke almost relented, but after the brutal battle last night, Duke knew that he couldn't handle it anymore!

Duke took a deep breath, took out two light groups, and said solemnly: "Here are two life blessings from His Majesty Alexstrasza. For women, they are fifteen years of youth. I am going to the River of Time to carry out a mission. , if I can’t come back, just use it.”

Duke lied, and what he gave was obviously Nozdormu's blessing of eternal life, but Vanessa didn't know that!

Vanessa's expression changed drastically almost instantly, and her venomous tongue was completely gone, as well as her pride that seemed to be favored based on intimacy. Tears streamed down her face, and she sent back a ball of light without even thinking about it for half a second.

"Master, since the Van Cleef family was protected by the master when they were humble and escaped the fate of violent death, then the Van Cleef family must serve the master for life. It doesn't feel bad to grow old slowly in the Marcus family. …As for what Her Majesty Kalia chooses, that is Her Majesty Kalia’s business.”

Duke sighed, turned around, and went to the dining room with a slightly heavy heart. When the door to the dining room opened, Duke saw three queens, a marquise and two ranger generals sitting in front of the dining table.

Duke suddenly looked back and cast a murderous look. Who knew that this bastard maid had the nerve to force herself to become invisible, and then [sprint] away in a flash!

"Vanessa——"
