Chapter 1131 Let’s Talk About Molten Core

"Brother Duke, I won't see you for a long time again. Can you leave some more marks on me so that I can remember the night without you..." Kalia softly begged Duke.

"No problem!" Du agreed vigorously.

System Elf: "Host, it was just detected that your humanity (morality) has declined slightly. What happened?"

While holding Caliya's white silk thighs and launching the Divine Sword to stab 999 times, Duke replied categorically: "It's okay!"

The Alliance and the Horde defeated the evil black dragon princess Onyxia, discovered the conspiracy to subvert the Alliance, and then punished the corrupt nobles who were complicit in the evil.

This result can be considered gratifying!

Varian did not disappoint Duke. Not only did he execute most of the nobles who had collaborated with Onyxia, he also returned Duke's territory. Together with Bolvar and Duke, he also re-established the rights and obligations of the nobles, took back the power of garrison and taxation, and prohibited local nobles from privately promulgating local laws. All local laws must be applied to Stormwind City and approved before they are allowed to be implemented.

While strengthening the royal power, Varian also began to draft the constitution of the Kingdom of Stormwind, which not only provided for the people and nobles, but also began to limit the unlimited extension of the royal power.

Writing a constitution is not something that can be accomplished in a day and a half.

It was only in the new constitution that the concept of ‘permanent’ autonomy for Duke’s territory was formally proposed. Duke consulted for a long time and finally decided to agree.

Historically, the territory controlled by the Kingdom of Stormwind was still small. In name, the kingdom owns four major territories: Elwynn Forest, Redridge Mountains, Duskwood, and Westfall. In fact, except for Elwynn Forest, which has better control, all other territories are unstable.

The Westfall is the domain of the Defias Brotherhood, and beyond each farm is the territory of bandits, beasts, and murlocs. Now under Duke's management, this place has become a fertile land and belongs to the core area of ​​the kingdom.

After many years of management by the Marcus family, Redridge Mountain became a private domain. At the same time, it also wiped out the surrounding jackals and other chaotic forces.

After the construction of the east-west railway, the Dusk Forest was no longer scary. Especially in the area that was originally Vogul Ogre Mountain, all the ogres have been wiped out. It is now one of the most important mines in the Kingdom of Stormwind.

Coupled with the recent expansion of Stranglethorn Vale, it is no exaggeration to say that the territory of the Kingdom of Stormwind is much larger than it was in history. So even if East Elwynn Forest, East Dusk Forest and Redridge Mountain were turned into Duke's autonomous territory from the kingdom's territory, the territory of the kingdom would still be very large.

But the most shocking thing is that Varian insists on naming the Marcus family as the 'King Chosen Family'!

Varian said: "When Stormwind City fell 20 years ago, the late King Ryan was actually desperate. He made a vow in his heart long ago that if anyone could help Wrynn's family regain Stormwind City, he would not have to be ashamed after his death. When you meet Wrynn's ancestors, he is willing to share the power of the Stormwind Kingdom with them. In fact, my father has always been ready for you to establish your own kingdom."

"But Uncle Duke Marcus, you still persevered and chose to be loyal to the Kingdom of Stormwind. In times of despair and desperation, you did not change your original intention. To be honest, the Wrynn family has nothing in return. Please join us. The royal family. If the Wrynn family bloodline is cut off, ask the Marcus family to lead the people of Stormwind Kingdom to continue."

Duke thought about Varian's request for a long time and finally chose to accept it.

There are many things that cannot be solved by just being patient. With that power but without the corresponding status, things tend to go bad.

Duke agreed to be included in the Storm Royal Family with only one condition - before the bloodline of the Wrynn family was cut off, the Marcus family would only be the Grand Duke. This represented respect for Ryan, who single-handedly promoted Duke.

The Alliance and Horde have temporarily returned to tranquility and peace.

Unfortunately, even this situation became very short-lived.

On February 18, a new piece of news shocked the entire tribe.

According to a report from Alliance Commander Duke, a large number of remnants of the Blackstone Clan were discovered in the Blackstone Tower between the Burning Plains and the Searing Gorge. Troll Chief Vol'jin, who was still a guest in Stormwind City, sent an envoy on Duke's advice, making a request that all tribe members considered normal - hoping that the scattered Blackstone clan would return to the tribe.

Regarding this matter, Woking has even negotiated terms with the alliance represented by Duke.

The tribe paid the minerals in exchange for the Alliance's green light to let the remnants of the Blackrock Clan pass through the Alliance territory and send them to the continent of Kalimdor. Because in Wo'jin's view, the Blackstone clan, which lacks resources and food, cannot survive in the resource-poor Blackrock Tower.

The situation was just as Duke expected, but far beyond Vol'jin's imagination.

The messenger returns, in the form of a corpse.

The envoy sent by the tribe had his head cut off, the back of his skull was dug out, the brains and other contents were emptied out, and he was made into a drinking vessel and sent back.

There was only a piece of animal skin written in the orc language, and a fine dagger made of black iron was nailed to the messenger's forehead.

"I, Red Blackhand, am the true warchief of the tribe! Starting from the despicable and cunning Orgrim, several of your self-proclaimed warchiefs have successively stolen the power that belonged to my father, Blackhand. Now, the time for retribution has come! I Nefarian, the strongest black dragon king in the world, announced in the name of Red* Blackhand, the only mortal ruler that the tribe will launch an offensive against the alliance within three months! And admitted that I am the only leader of the tribe... …”

Seeing this, no one, including Vol'jin and Kane, let alone Grom, could stand looking at the tribal chiefs.

They stared at the messenger. Until the last moment of his life, there was no fear on the messenger's face, but only endless anger!

Grom broke the hard dagger made of black iron with one hand, letting Yin Hong's blood flow down from his palm.

"Red Blackhand - I, Grom Hellscream, swear that you will pay with your life! I will make your corpse into a specimen and nail it to the gate of Orgrimmar forever, so that every tribe member can The people spurn your dirty soul——"

All the big guys from the tribe rushed back to Orgrimmar like their butts were on fire.

Seeing the angry expressions of the tribal chiefs, the alliance bosses could only sigh in their hearts.

Duke silently took away the model symbolizing the Blackstone Tower on the military map: "Although it is a bit unkind, I think we can temporarily ignore the Blackstone Tower and [Blackwing Lair] where Nefarian is located. Now. , let’s talk about [Molten Core]!”
