Chapter 1094 Times Are Changing

Edwin slapped his forehead, feeling extremely regretful. This is simply in his face, after all, he is in charge of the entire Marcus family's intelligence work.

"I don't blame you. After all, the pronunciation and spelling of Anresto and Presto are very different." Duke was not talking nonsense. After all, the human lingua franca in the world of Azeroth is not English. After all, it is also an alphabetic spelling system, but the letters, spelling and pronunciation are not the same thing.

Windsor sighed: "I'm still thinking about how to send troops here if something happens to Stormwind City... But that's a dragon! Mortal force is meaningless."

"Reggie, your main force cannot move. Soon the Blackstone Orcs will run out of the Burning Plains and cause trouble. I leave those guys to you."

"No problem." Windsor slapped his chest, his eyes filled with fighting spirit. At 38 years old, he is at his best age as a man. His martial arts skills have not yet declined, but he has experienced three battles at the Dark Portal in one go, and he is definitely the leader among commanders.

Duke smiled: "Reggie, fight this battle well as the general of Stormwind Kingdom, and you will get what you want."

Windsor's eyes suddenly became frighteningly bright. Of course he knew what Duke was talking about - the marshal's scepter!

For a marshal who is less than forty years old, just thinking about it is enough to drive him crazy with excitement!

"Isn't it just to deal with the Blackstone Orcs? Don't worry."

Twenty years ago, Duke would have been really worried, but after going through a lot, Windsor is definitely trustworthy.

Here, Edwin brought the topic back again: "Who is here this time? Mother, is it Onyxia?"

"Guessed it right, but it's a pity that there is no prize!"

"What are we going to do? While she is still in human form, directly..." Vanessa eagerly made a motion of slitting her throat.

Duke laughed: "Don't be ridiculous! Only when you cut it with a dagger will you realize that her seemingly delicate neck is actually three feet thick."

"Tch, are all dragons really monsters?" Vanessa said angrily.

It is impossible to explain scientifically that a giant dragon whose weight is measured in tons will turn into a delicate woman weighing less than a hundred pounds after using the [Ultimate Transformation Technique]. What else could Duke say about the rules of such a fantastic world?

Solanli'an interjected: "Then what should we do? Just wait like this? It doesn't feel very in line with... your personality, Master."

Solanlian hasn't completely changed yet, after all, her actual time with Duke is still a bit short.

Duke didn't care.

He dragged his chin with his left hand, rested his elbow on his knees, tapped his right index finger on the blue-dyed velvet cushion, about ten times rhythmically, and smiled.

"Solanlian, you are right. Although waiting is in line with my status, the status of a mortal is really meaningless to a dragon." At this point, Duke showed a wicked smile on his face: " However, since such a big dragon does not play violence with us, but comes to the human world to play conspiracy and politics, wouldn't it be too rude of us as hosts to not play with her properly?"

Vanessa curled her lips: "Dear master, are you sure that Elune, the goddess of the moon, has cleansed you of all evil forces?"

"Damn it, master, work, you are a maid, don't talk too much!" Edwin really couldn't stand his daughter anymore. After scolding his daughter for a few words, he immediately turned to Duke and said: "Master, you dote on Fanny too much. It made her almost forget her duty as a maid."

Duke shrugged.

"Yes, my lord, do you plan to destroy the entire aristocracy?" Windsor suddenly asked: "After all, every knight apprentice is taught at a young age how to serve his lord. Only by making immortal contributions , will be allowed to enter the aristocratic class and become a human master. If my lord does this, with our combat power and power, we should succeed, but I am afraid that the next turmoil will be inevitable, and who will rule in the future What about the country? Or do you want to change the Kingdom of Stormwind to a parliamentary system like Dalaran? Or do you want to coexist with the monarchy and parliamentary system like Quel'Thalas before?"

"Alas!" Duke sighed.

Is that so?

This is the inevitable limitation that exists among people in this era. Due to underdeveloped productivity and poor transportation, the human kingdom of Azeroth when Duke traveled across was generally similar to the vassal system of the European Middle Ages.

Quite simply, it may take more than a month to convey an order to the most peripheral territory. The scope of the king's power was often limited to the area within his field of vision, and he could not control places more than three days' journey away. Therefore, he had to give his vassals great autonomy. Each lord was actually a local emperor.

But Duke spent twenty years single-handedly promoting the mechanization revolution with steam engines as its core, and almost covered the entire Kingdom of Stormwind with railways. From Stormwind City, it would take less than a week to reach even the most remote territory.

Road, finance, government orders.

Under such circumstances, maintaining the more primitive feudal system actually hindered the development of the entire society.

For example, this time, the black dragon princess Onyxia gave a little provocation, and those brain-dead nobles who were dazzled by huge profits couldn't wait to jump out. In name, they were raising taxes, but in fact they were forcing the palace to demand greater power, otherwise they would abolish the railway. Transportation is threatened.

This situation is even worse than the historical Onyxia instigating the Stonemasons Brotherhood to demand unpaid wages from the Stormwind nobles for building Stormwind City and launching a riot.

That time, in the final analysis, the Storm nobles built the city and refused to pay them, which was a typical migrant worker's pursuit of unpaid wages.

Of course, it was because Onyxia deceived the backbone of the Masonic Brotherhood. Let them falsify the accounts without authorization, raise the cost and ask the Storm Nobles for money. The problem is that the nobles at that time were also very poor, and their pockets were very poor. The nobles naturally believed that this was blackmail.

Under the instigation of the Black Dragon Princess, the masons rioted. The traitor she arranged also stoned Varian's Queen Tiffin to death.

Varian, who knew that he was in the wrong, still showed great tolerance and banished the stonemasons instead of starting a massacre. As a result, the Defias Brotherhood came into being.

In this life, it's because of Duke's power. The Kingdom of Storm is extremely rich in supplies and its people are extremely happy. It is difficult to provoke conflict between the people and the nobles, so the nobles compete for power with Bolvar.

Who would have thought that Duke would return at a critical moment.

Duke didn't want to cause too much chaos, but since Onyxia had made a start, he could only continue the reform.
