Chapter 1092 I Can Ignore It!
The nobles were shocked! They simply didn't believe their ears. As soon as Duke, who had been missing for a long time, came back, he carried out drastic reforms, directly targeting the roots of the nobility.
Are nobles still nobles without financial and military power?
Why should the nobles walk sideways in their own territory? Isn't it just financial and military power? Almost all respect and power are obtained through these two things. Now, all of a sudden, without even breathing, they directly said that they wanted to take back their power, which was almost killing them.
They almost wanted to rebel on the spot!
It's a pity... no one dares...
Compared with a peerless strong man who killed the demon king Sargeras and the demon commander Archimonde, they are simply scum! The combined strength of all the nobles could not even defeat Duke with one finger.
If it were still the era twenty years ago when the nobles of the seven kingdoms of mankind were united, maybe they could call on outside forces to give Duke, a madman who dared to challenge the rules of the noble game, some color.
What a pity, the storm nobles suddenly thought about it, and suddenly their mouths were filled with bitterness, as if they were being force-fed shit.
Unknowingly, the world of the nobles has collapsed one after another in disasters.
Among the seven human kingdoms, Stromgard has been destroyed and has not yet been revived; Dalaran has a completely different system. By the way, the current Speaker Ronin is a direct disciple of Duke; Gilneas is also being controlled by a group of people. Surrounded by werewolves, no one knows whether the country has been destroyed or not.
Except for the Kingdom of Stormwind, the nobles of the remaining three countries were completely wiped out.
Alterac: With the Second Battle of the Dark Portal, the Horde captured Broken Ridge, and even the nobles including King Aiden Perenold were wiped out. Only the Barov lineage remained. Although Ilucia became the king, the old Duke Barov still stayed in the territory of the Marcus family. The entire family and even the kingdom wore the same pants as Duke.
Lordaeron: With Arthas' betrayal, all the core nobles of Lordaeron were wiped out. Only staunch local lords such as Mograine are left, but they are all the most loyal knights.
Kul Tiras: In the third war of the Dark Portal, the entire territory fell, all the nobles were wiped out, and only Queen Jaina remained.
Well, the problem is that the queens of the three countries mentioned above are all recognized by everyone in the aristocratic circle as Duke's lovers.
foreign aid?
Why the hell does Duke not bring in other human countries to come and control the situation? It’s just giving him face, but why does he still need foreign aid?
With no foreign aid and relying solely on their own strength, they could not defeat Duke, whose power was equal to that of the king of a country. The nobles were really frustrated to death.
Turmoil!
Embarrass each other!
For a while, everyone wanted to find someone else to compete with Duke. Amidst countless eye exchanges of "You're better off" and "You think I'm stupid", the Storm nobles found in despair that no one could defeat Duke. Ke has a way.
Duke didn't even take out his staff, he just stood with his hands behind his hands, standing there, demonstrating what domineering means with a smile!
If looks could kill... these fighting nobles would have been killed on the spot by Du, chopped into pieces and fed to dogs.
Now Duke is so domineering, making it clear:
You can object!
I can ignore it!
In this way, he declared his power and force with an almost reckless momentum.
silence!
Don’t break out in silence!
Just die in silence!
In this way, Duke killed the nobles' will to resist with his silent smile.
"Haha! Is there anyone else who wants to object? The gate is right there. Don't worry, as the regent of the Kingdom of Stormwind, I have no intention of confiscating the property of the opponents. After handing over the territory to the country, I will allow you to sell off the property in the territory. Family property, while allowing you to continue doing business and living in the Kingdom of Stormwind."
Duke's attitude of "I've given you a gift and you still don't thank me" made the nobles almost go crazy.
Fury spread through every bloodline in their bodies, and they were so angry that they couldn't vent them, and they were almost suffocating to the point of causing internal injuries.
Bolvar was stunned beside him. He wanted to speak several times. Even when the nobles he knew well sent him pleading looks, he relented a little, but after squirming a few times, he finally said nothing.
What echoed in his mind was what the late King Lion said to him when he was still alive: "Bovar...Duke's reforms cannot be understood with our wisdom. In fact, you and I are both mortals, and we don't have Anduin." They don’t have the courage of Duke, nor the wisdom of Duke. So mortals should do mortal things, and leave the rest to them. We only need to confirm that they are doing it for the good of the kingdom and the people, and that is enough."
right!
The people who were truly relied upon by the late king were Duke and Anduin. I, Bolvar, am just a stickler for the rules.
Precisely because he knows the limits of his wisdom, Bolvar's loyalty to the Wrynn family ultimately overrides the interests of these nobles.
Duke pressed hard, and Bolvar and the Cavaliers remained silent.
This resolution, which was almost a disaster for the nobles, was passed.
As soon as the meeting ended, Bolvar couldn't wait to recruit Duke.
Almost as soon as he entered the secret meeting room, Bolvar asked: "Duke! What on earth do you want to do!?"
"Bovar, do you really not know, or do you pretend not to know, the Kingdom of Stormwind is already decayed!" Duke's face turned cold, and he threw out a stack of 'petitions': "I have made so many reforms to make the entire kingdom rich. Not to feed those moths.”
Looking at the stack of petitions, Bolvar's eyes immediately closed in pain.
no Zuo no Die!
In the past, lords controlled the territory, and even when the king opened a railway, he had to pay tolls to the lords. Now accustomed to the good days of plucking geese and making a fortune from every train, those nobles actually jointly besieged him as the regent, saying that they would start a conquest for the supply trains that passed through their territory and headed for the Cursed Land Watch Fortress. Special tariffs. Otherwise, every time a train passes by, the train will be stopped and strictly checked for any prohibited items.
In addition, because the land is privately owned, the nobles are making all kinds of troubles.
Bolvar, who abides by the 2,800-year-old iron law that 'the territory of the nobility is not the territory of the king', has nothing to do about it.
But he never thought that Duke would take action directly as soon as he returned.
"But, this is too intense, and it will collapse the entire kingdom's ruling class."
"Then let's change a batch. Even if we don't take action, they will always destroy themselves under the enemy's offensive. The key point now is whether we destroy them or let them continue to corrode the entire kingdom and destroy the kingdom and even all mankind. Dragged into the abyss of destruction.”
"Is...is it that exaggerated?"
"What if I told you that the loss of Varian's soul was the conspiracy of an enemy, and that enemy happened to be among the nobles?"
Bolvar's heart instantly froze into ice.
