Chapter 1365 Distant War
Not only did the Horde find it a bit incredible for Duke to agree so quickly, but Varian also felt that it was a bit too cheap for the Horde.
Varian will never forget how his father died - not in the shocking evacuation of Stormwind City, not in the cruel second battle of the Dark Portal, or even fighting again and again. He had never been injured on the front line, but he died in an orc assassination.
As Duke, who has experienced the first and second Dark Portal wars, he should hate orcs the most.
Why did Duke agree?
Is this too hasty?
Or is it purely emotional?
Varian didn't say anything. He was a king and a strong man. However, if you put him in the entire alliance, he was not enough in terms of strength, qualifications, knowledge or judgment.
Unlike the Varian who had to stand up and carry the flag in history, the current Varian still has the towering tree of Duke to protect him from the wind and rain.
Maybe he will grow a little slower, but compared to the slightly frizzy and violent Varian who has been dominated by the ghost wolf's personality for a long time, he will make fewer mistakes and grow more steadily.
Suddenly, Varian remembered what Bolvar Fordragon had said. As the regent left by the late king, Varian admired Anduin Lothar the most and almost unconditionally accepted all the gifts from Anduin. for all opinions.
After Anduin died, Duke disappeared again and again, the first time for ten years and the second time for four years. When Varian was growing up, Duke was basically a name that only existed in legend. Therefore, Varian's most trusted elder is Bolvar.
Bolvar said of Duke: "Except for the guys who can't stand up, there are only two kinds of commanders in the world: one is to make full use of all the resources at hand when the war begins and try to win; the other is to obtain victory before the war begins. All the resources needed for victory were obtained, and victory was determined before the battle took place. The so-called battle was just a formality. Obviously, Duke is the latter."
Bolvar's evaluation has been deeply imprinted in Varian's mind.
"Listen more! Do more! You can ask, but you can never question Duke. Because there are always things that Duke does that ordinary people like us can't understand, and every time, he will prove that he is right." This is Bolvar’s most important advice.
So Varian stood aside and listened quietly like a well-behaved junior.
Duke's agreement made Thrall and Vol'jin overjoyed.
"Thank you! Duke Marcus, although I can't say that humans are the best friends of orcs, I have to say that you are the most trusted human in the tribe." Thrall stretched out his big hand. Come here and stay with Duke.
Duke sighed: "This is all for Azeroth! Besides, no Azerothian will know what kind of enemy we will face next. I can only say that in the following days, No one can relax their war readiness. The Burning Legion still has Kil'jaeden, a terrible commander, and several evil ancient gods. Only one C'Thun came out. As a leader, I must be prepared for the worst."
"Then your most pessimistic view is..."
Duke gritted his teeth and said, "These guys mentioned above will all come out to cause trouble within ten years."
Thrall and Vol'jin looked stern at the same time.
If Duke is right, then there is really no reason for the Alliance to launch another war against the Horde. The enemy is still fighting in the nest, which is really a big deal.
"I understand. I will make a combat preparation plan and then arrange it."
Over there, Kane also ran over, exchanged a few words, and took Sal away. As victors, the tribal warriors are also eager to see their leader quickly and listen to his declaration of victory.
Regarding the trophies, there wasn’t much trouble. Basically, it was decided after just a few words of discussion.
When the Horde was gone and only the Alliance was left, Varian finally asked his doubts: "Uncle Duke, are those bad things really going to happen?"
"Phew!" Duke exhaled, then handed a piece of paper to Varian: "It's not a question of whether it will happen, it's already happened."
After quickly reading the translated coded letter, Varian's eyes suddenly shrank.
"No wonder……"
"No wonder when you finished fighting Hakkar and wanted to pull the team past Kalimdor, I stayed in Stormwind City in the name of insufficient transportation capacity." Duke smiled.
In this battle in Silithus, the soldiers sent by the Alliance were basically dwarves and dwarfs, and they used artillery fire to clear the ground. There are not many infantrymen, they are basically second-line legions. None of the famous Scarlet Cross Legion and Griffin Legion are here.
It is said that it lacks transportation capacity. Anyway, this time the coalition forces have orcs and tauren in foot combat, trolls and night elves in long-range, and the Forsaken mages in the magic system, which is completely sufficient.
In the face of a formidable enemy, no one made any small stumbling blocks.
Naturally, everyone is happy with the result.
Who would have thought that Duke had already secretly detained the main force and was ready to send them all to the Dark Portal at any time.
Everything is based on one name - Draenor! It is also commonly known as the Outland. The situation there has now changed significantly.
Illidan Stormrage, after being defeated in a duel with Arthas who had not become the Lich King, went to the outer lands to cause trouble, just like history. It's just that in this life, he doesn't have Kael'thas as his accomplice.
Kaizi, who is not at the end of his rope, is now the officially designated leader of the alliance's dispatched troops to foreign lands. As a high-ranking high elf prince, after his humiliation was washed away in the Battle of Mount Hyjal, he was once again regarded as a hero by the elves. Queen Xi did not stop the tribesmen from seeking refuge with Kael'thas.
The biggest difference from the original history is that Kaizi was supposed to lead the blood elves to beat the miserable draenei into dogs, and even occupied their home base of Storm Keep in Draenor.
Now history has completely changed.
Kaizi seemed to be guided by fate and ran to Storm Fortress again. Only this time, it was the Draenei who were about to be wiped out by the evil orc army, and in desperation issued a request for rescue. Kaizi had a strong sense of justice, so he brought his elves to help.
This makes Duke, a time traveler who is familiar with history, feel so happy...
"Are we going to fight again?" Magni asked simply.
"No, not that fast. I plan to provide some support and then let Kael'thas carry it for a while."
"Okay, the morale of the alliance is okay, but the physical strength of the soldiers and the financial resources of each country have reached their limits." Magni sighed.
Without Duke's economic development plan over the years, the league would probably be even more miserable.
