Chapter 1779 Werewolf, Right?
If it was the arrogant, withdrawn and self-righteous Jean before, he would probably have walked away by now.
As time goes by, people actually change.
What's more, Gilneas has left the Alliance since the Dark Portal five years ago. Such a long time has caused great changes in Jean's mentality and temperament.
Knowing that this was probably Duke's test, Gene didn't dare to take a gamble.
Gilneas has long had no capital to bargain with the Alliance. To put it bluntly, Gilneas is now a forgotten country, a dispensable pebble on the roadside.
Although Genn has been wary of and resisted the infiltration of the Alliance for many years, and although this approach was effective 15 years before the Dark Portal, with Duke coming to power, the prosperity and power of the Alliance are displayed to the Gilneans almost every day. in front of.
Especially after Southsea Town was built as Southsea City, Alterac was rebuilt, and the North Current and South Current coasts were built as Lordaeron's import and export docks. Looking down from the towering cliffs of Gilneas, you can see countless numbers day and night. Unidentified ships pass through the sea.
On the map, Nanhai City is located near the junction of two sunken continents. Duke specially stipulated the navigation route for the sake of navigation safety. Merchant ships and warships sailed from the Palatine Gulf in the south to Southsea City, and then along the north coast all the way around the Hillsbrad Hills and out to sea south of Gilneas.
In order to facilitate night sailing, except for Gilneas, there is a shore lighthouse every three kilometers along the entire coast. On the high seas opposite the territory of Gilneas, Duke used a large number of murlocs to also build lighthouses to facilitate the helmsman of the ship to control the ship.
During the day, you can see the ship directly, and at night, you can see the endless bow and stern lights.
At first, Jean thought this was a deliberate demonstration by the Alliance, but he soon discovered that the Alliance's maritime trade was really so prosperous. Because he could clearly tell through the flags hanging on the ship which ones were from the Kingdom of Stormwind, which ones were from Kul Tiras, Alterac, and occasionally Dalaran and Ironforge.
Recently, even the long-lost flag of the Kingdom of Stromgarde from Stromgarde can be seen.
On the South Current coast, there are these plus those from Lordaeron.
If these ships symbolize the prosperity of the Alliance, then the occasional flying Alliance flying warships declare to the world the strength of the Alliance.
After the restoration of Stromgarde, because Danaus was really wise, the martial people of Stromgarde never spared their lives and fought on all fronts.
Duke improved Stromgard's treatment and allowed the Alliance's newly built Fourth Air Fleet to dock next to Stromgarde. This is not a political threat, but a support.
Because the members of this fleet are basically people from Stromgarde, and the Alliance has built a new spare parts production center there, using the minerals in the Arathi Highlands to produce on-site and maintain the airships on-site. And it’s the alliance that gives the money.
Every member state of the alliance adheres to the principle of contributing money and strength. As a newly restored country, the membership fee that Stromgard needs to pay in the next ten years is a symbolic gold coin per year.
The maintenance fee paid by the Alliance to the Fourth Fleet is millions of gold coins per year.
This industrial system created in response to the strategic location of the Kingdom of Stromgard has greatly promoted the local economy. Almost everyone in Stromgarde can feel the sincerity from the Alliance, and their centripetal force towards the Alliance is even higher.
When Gilneas was in dire straits, Genn ordered his scouts to secretly collect intelligence about the Alliance. The first thing they knew was how prosperous Alterac was just around the corner. A few years ago, Storm was still wallowing in the ruins. How did the Gardians rise in such a short period of time.
Frankly, he was envious.
But both Gilneas and him were in a rather awkward position.
The Alliance can ignore Gilneas. If it angers the Alliance, maybe the Alliance can kill all the Gilneans who turned into werewolves as monsters.
Gene himself is even more so.
Logically speaking, he is definitely a veteran in the league. Among the seven human kings when the Alliance was established, Terenas, Antonidas, Aeden Perenold, Thoras Trollbane, Llane Wrynn, and Daelin Proudmoore all Hanged up for various reasons.
There is also Anduin Lothar who is the commander-in-chief.
Without Duke, he would be the only first-generation veteran who hopes to join the league again. This is an absolute taboo in politics.
You are more senior than the current boss of the alliance. Now that you are here, where will the boss’s face go?
Fortunately, there is Duke.
Back then, Duke, who was too young, was the deputy commander of the league! Logically speaking, he is just a 'general'.
In the original history, finding Malfurion as a middleman was a last resort. It wasn't that troublesome in this life, and he thought he knew Duke better.
Ginn has no problem with Duke saying 'the league has options.'
He said in an almost groveling tone: "Yes! The Alliance has a choice. But Mr. Marcus, have you ever thought that the Alliance still needs a melee unit?"
"Oh?" Duke became interested.
It seems that Gene has also done his homework secretly.
"I don't think you deny that even if the alliance has developed to the point where it now has terrifying artillery, professionals can still ignore the power of artillery to a certain extent, right?" Jean said carefully.
"Okay, go on." Duke nodded.
Jean secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "The alliance is seriously lacking warrior professionals. Forget about elves and dwarves, they are not suitable physically. Originally, dwarves and draenei were both suitable, but the number of dwarves and draenei is not large. The population is small. Humans with the largest base are the most suitable, but unfortunately compared to orcs and tauren, human physique is still more than one level behind, and even the trolls can't compare."
Seeing that Duke had no objection, Jean made a recommendation: "Many Gilneans have become werewolves because they were bitten by werewolves. But they can control themselves well and will not fall into madness or lose control. These are due to Werewolves transformed by humans are quite suitable as warriors. Whether it is a quick assault or a head-on duel, werewolves have faster speed, better physique, and stronger vitality than humans. Many injuries that are fatal to humans are not possible in werewolves. It’s not a problem there.”
At this point, Jean's voice lowered: "As long as humans don't hate or fear werewolves, I think werewolves will be a good addition to the alliance."
After saying that, he looked at Duke eagerly, stared at Duke's mouth with expectant eyes, swallowed his saliva, and was ready to listen to the words that came out of Duke's mouth, which were tantamount to the outcome of the trial.
Duke smiled: "A werewolf, right? In fact, there is no problem."
