Chapter 159 Burning Elwynn Forest

Obtained by the eyes of Ryan and Duke, Van Cleef took a deep breath: "Don't be afraid to tell the truth, Your Excellency Duke's 'cement' is running out, and one of the important materials for 'cement' comes from Un'Goro Crater. Before we Collected with Lord Duke's funds, and only bought about 100 tons from the venture capital company of the Stranglethorn Goblin. This has already bought out all their inventories. The remaining materials are only enough to make 30 trebuchet towers or 80 arrow towers, and... it will take 10 days at the fastest."

Don't think that the nobles are very knowledgeable, cultured, cultivated, and have noble character. Apart from the skin that has undergone strict etiquette training and the skills of reading and writing, the nobles of this era are no different from most ordinary people.

The knowledge of geography is also limited to the nobles in the southern part of the mainland. They don't realize that Un'Goro Crater is on the other side of the sea, a distant place on another continent.

"Trash! In 10 days, all the warriors in Stormwind City would have been wiped out!" On the opposite side, a Duke jumped up, his angry voice almost frightened Van Cleef.

Van Cleef is not the daring Van Cleef who was driven to a dead end in later generations. At this moment, he is just a follower of Duke who was born as a mason. He didn't even have a chance to determine how much Duke trusted and supported him. It's completely in a state of rushing ducks to the shelves.

The duke never expected that Duke would go against him, the duke, because of Van Cleef, a humble 'dog'.

He slapped the table, and Duke slapped louder.

With a sound of "Bang!", almost all the guards of the royal family thought that the enemy was coming, and each guard put their hands on the hilt of their swords. After seeing clearly that it was Duke who slapped the table, they secretly let go again.

"You're a fucking piece of trash. You don't even know that Un'Goro Crater is on the mainland across the sea, so you just say nonsense to my people. If there were really so much 'cement', sir, I would have put the entire Stormwind City The city walls are all raised to 200 feet high, and the orcs can't even fly in, let alone crawl."

Duke was telling the truth. In this world without modern industry, it is too difficult to make serious cement. The only thing that can be made is cement with volcanic ash as the main raw material. That's why he focused on Un'Goro Crater and asked Van Cleef to collect a lot of materials through various channels.

Honestly, it hurts the most!

"Puff!" It was obvious that Duke was cursing, but many people were amused by Duke's retort. This kind of direct scolding of the other party's ignorance hit the mark, and the laughter caused even more embarrassment for the duke.

Another duke stood up: "Well, I would like to ask Sir Lothar, if you have these arrow towers, how long can you keep them?"

Lothar raised a finger: "The limit is one month, and it's still the same sentence, the troops responsible for the final breakup cannot survive."

"Okay, let's go back to the original point..."

"No, it's not going back to the original point." Duke interrupted the Duke: "No, it's 10 days. I can fight for this time."

Duke patted Van Cleef on the shoulder: "You just need to let your people do their job well."

For some reason, Van Cleef felt like crying. In his impression, the nobles were all protecting each other and working in collusion.

'There is nothing that cannot be solved by the exchange of interests', this is a famous saying among the nobles. VanCleef had thought for a moment just now that Duke, who was an Earl, would not stand up for him, a little man of humble origin. That's a duke!

Duke didn't feel it, but VanCleef didn't. Van Cleef, whose ancestors have been making two mouthfuls of bread in Stormwind City for generations, has a natural fear of high-ranking nobles.

Who knew Duke not only opened his mouth, but also choked the other half to death.

Suddenly, Van Cleef had the urge to die for Duke. Now Duke not only took it all on himself, but also shielded him, and tears welled up in Van Cleef's eyes.

Not many people cared about the emotions of the little man Van Cleef, and everyone focused on Duke's words.

"Ten days? Are you really sure? The sand in the hourglass is more expensive than gold. We are now racing against death!" King Ryan kindly reminded Duke.

"Oh, thank God, if Duke can do it, it will be a great help." Lothar, who has cooperated more with Duke, is almost blindly optimistic. He didn't know how Duke did it, but based on his knowledge of Duke, he believed that Duke would not talk nonsense.

Ryan looked at the commotion of the nobles and frowned: "What are you going to do?"

The second duke has obviously targeted Duke a bit: "Whether it is for comfort or other reasons in front of His Majesty's throne, lies are meaningless. Now we are discussing the life and death of nearly half of the soldiers and civilians of the Stormwind Kingdom, but Don't allow a kid like you to talk nonsense."

He is the king, and he can insist on passing Duke's proposal if necessary, but before that, it is best to be able to convince everyone.

Duke stretched out and leaned back on the comfortable bench, crossing his fingers on his stomach.

"It seems that your people don't think the same way as you do. Last night, your housekeeper approached my subordinate Ma Kaluo and said that he would deploy two more boats to transport treasures to your family. Hehe, since you don't believe me so much , why do you want to find my men?"

Everyone knows that Duke is pulling two things together. Believing that Duke can hold off the orcs for ten days is completely different from believing in Duke's fleet.

But either Duke's political IQ is zero, or Duke does it on purpose. Tell Lane at times like these that it is these moths who demand that the lives of Lane's most cherished citizens be disregarded in order to free up precious slots for treasure.

Almost at the same time, Ryan, Lothar, and Bolvar, the upright high-level officials, all sank into water.

"Uh, oh, there is such a thing!? Impossible!" The duke denied it immediately, but obviously he immediately realized that he couldn't get it wrong: "I have been busy with military affairs recently, maybe there is such a thing, if there is , I will definitely punish that steward severely for doing such a nasty thing in the name of our nobleman. Uh, Earl Marcus, don’t change the subject, whether you can delay for 10 days is related to the survival of the entire kingdom .”

That poor butler will most likely be the scapegoat. Anyway, hitting him with a dog was also hitting him in the face. Duke didn't care either. He already had his own ideas about the nobles of the Stormwind Kingdom.

Of course, the topic returns to the 10th, which is the most concerned.

"It's very simple. Since Elwynn Forest has already been taken over by those green skins, then I will burn half of the forest."

The moment Duke's words fell, the audience was dead silent, and everyone gasped.

How dare Duke!
