Chapter 114: A Hero with High Expectations

The night sky in Stormwind City was as calm as ever.

The darkness of night comes as always, just as people always believe that the morning light of dawn will always come every day.

In the dim night, there were constant crimson fires in the distance passing through the diffuse mist, declaring destruction and terror to Stormwind City, an 'enclave' suspended outside the human political center of the entire continent.

In the west of Stormwind City, the starry sky is shining on the sea that has never changed since the last descendant of Emperor Thoradin arrived in this land thousands of years ago. With the clear moonlight hanging alone on the sea, I can vaguely see the stormy harbor that was dark once nightfall a year ago, but now it is brightly lit and full of sails and masts.

In addition to the sound of the rolling waves, there are also voices of people coming from afar.

Looking at Stormwind Harbor, King Ryan suddenly sighed to the queen.

"Honey, I've been thinking about a question... Is Duke Marcus the destined patron saint of our kingdom?"

"If you look at the current situation, it's obvious, yes. That's right!" The queen gently held Ryan's arm tightly: "Without his Stormwind Harbor, maybe Stormwind City may not be able to hold on now."

Before the arrival of the orcs, everyone just thought that the new Stormwind Harbor built by Duke was just a useful supplement to Stormwind City's fiscal revenue.

As the war progressed, everyone suddenly discovered that Stormwind Harbor and Duke's fleet actually controlled the fate of the kingdom and became its pulse.

Stormwind City is located in the southern part of the mainland. At a time when all land routes to the north are blocked by orcs, sea transportation has become the only life channel for Stormwind City to connect with the outside world.

In this era, entering a port at night is extremely dangerous. However, in order to transport the military supplies that Stormwind City is in short supply, the old captains of Stormwind City and the maritime kingdom of Kul Tiras not only transported during the day, but also chose to enter the port at dusk, unload the cargo overnight, and leave the port at midnight in order to save the location of the port and increase the transport volume. .

With the efforts of a group of captains, sailors, etc., various resources were continuously transported from several other human kingdoms and Ironforge of the dwarves, while women and children who urgently needed to be evacuated were transported away in advance, all the way to the north across the sea, sent to to Nanhai Town.

Since the seven human kingdoms have not yet reached a unified opinion on the invasion of the orcs, the assistance to Stormwind City at this stage can basically be regarded as non-governmental.

Most of the nobles in the north sneered at what Ryan's messenger said about the large-scale invasion of orcs, and the harm was so great.

"What are orcs? We have killed all the trolls here for thousands of years." This is the view of most nobles.

They expressed the most malicious doubts and speculations about the fall of half of Stormwind City.

The only fortunate thing is that the Kingdom of Alterac agreed to lend Southsea Town to resettle the refugees of the Kingdom of Stormwind. The remaining six kingdoms released Ryan's proposal to purchase supplies, allowing the people of Stormwind to purchase various military supplies, and severely cracked down on unscrupulous merchants who raised prices.

At the same time, Ryan was allowed to send people to recruit volunteers and mercenaries in the six kingdoms.

However, this is not enough.

Only Ryan, who is facing the orc frenzy, knows that at least the seven kingdoms must declare a state of all-out war at the same time, and it is enough to entangle the seven kingdoms, and even the allies of dwarves and elves.

Thinking of this, Ryan's heart stopped for a while.

Everything Duke has offered so far, every idea is a good one. Like a new type of bunker.

That's something that a dude named Marcaro left over from Duke was in charge of.

The name is very strange, called 'cement'.

Exactly how this thing is made, Markalo is tight-lipped, even in Markaro's own words, this is only a semi-finished product.

The effect is remarkable, the latest design of the hexagonal bunker well delays the attack of the orcs.

This kind of bunker is about three stories high, and it is made of this kind of 'cement' mixed with stones and sand, and it can become extremely strong in just two or three days. Under the command of Edwin Van Cleef, a little-known member of the Brotherhood of Masons named by Duke himself, no less than 500 stones were made in just a few days on the outskirts of Gold Shining Town, one of the barriers of Stormwind City. Such a bunker.

This kind of bunker cannot be easily destroyed even by the largest orc catapult. The narrow shooting holes made it impossible for the orcs to reach in. A large number of javeliners trained by Duke hid in these bunkers, and dealt heavy blows to the orcs from various firing holes.

Before the orcs used the most brutal rushing vehicles to destroy the bunker, those javeliners could go through the tunnels dug in advance and drill into the next bunker from the tunnel that was so narrow that only humans could pass through, and continue to kill orcs.

It was even rumored that some outstanding javeliners had achieved feats that even the bravest Stormwind warriors could not do - that guy killed 36 mighty orc warriors by himself, leaving behind the marked javelins on the orc foreheads, became the best proof of this feat.

What makes Ryan even more dumbfounded is that the Kingdom of Stormwind has an extra team—the murlocs.

These nasty monsters that once caused headaches for the residents of Elwynn Forest have now become the patron saints of the people of Stormwind.

The fish people made an inexplicable "嘠 嘠 嘠 嘠 嘠 嘠", occupying almost every river in the Alvin Forest with more than five meters in the forest. Any orc who dares to go to the river to fetch water will be baptized by the murloc's crude javelin.

Everything Duke has done has greatly helped the entire Stormwind Kingdom.

Recalling Duke's changes to the kingdom, Ryan felt deeply: "I don't know how his and Anduin's assault journey is going. I hope they can come back safely..."

"It's okay. If they are killed, I think... Sargeras will show off the first time..." The queen gently comforted Ryan.

Ryan suddenly smiled bitterly: "Nearly a thousand years ago, my ancestors came to Stormwind City, overcame all obstacles, and opened up a magnificent era for the people. No matter what, I don't want Stormwind City to be destroyed by my hands!"

"No. If you think about this, you might as well think about it. If they return triumphantly, how will you commend their achievements. Or, set up a statue for them in the Valley of the Kings?"

"good idea!"

At this moment, Duke, who was placed high hopes by Ryan and even the entire Stormwind Kingdom's high-level executives. He is facing the most dangerous battle since he crossed.

Because his opponent is Gul'dan, even if this is just a fictional Gul'dan who doesn't know what kind of magic principle. In this strange chess space, Gul'dan is still extremely powerful.

Breathing the slightly cold air, Bisheng Duke felt bloody and hot smell in his nasal cavity. Unable to bear the excitement in his heart, he was telling himself that at this moment, he was writing a legend that belonged only to him.

Khan, there will be more rewards after it is put on the shelves. I will find a time tomorrow to make a charter. It's a little rough today.
