Chapter 198 The Barov Family

Honest, brave, wise, and loyal, Duke has almost become synonymous with saints in the hearts of everyone.

In fact, apart from being a little clever as a time traveler, Duke's other three items are bullshit.

Duke never considered himself loyal to Lane.

As a modern person, he is a boss and a wage earner in his bones. Duke has never been moved by the mystery of giving his life for the other party.

As a traveler who is familiar with the trend of history, Duke knows that without money is absolutely impossible, but too much money is actually useless.

The most important thing is strength. His own, as well as the strength of his subordinates.

According to history, with the opening of the Dark Portal and the capture of Stormwind City, the first orc war was considered to be over.

Then, when the orc army regrouped and went north to find all the races in the whole continent and troubles in all the kingdoms, it was the start of the "Second Orc War".

Duke didn't know whether the orcs would continue to fight to the death against all major forces of all races and all the continents as they did in history. Obviously, when Duke saw that the similarity of the world of Azeroth dropped from 80% to 79% in the system review, Duke realized that the urine of history would continue to be surprisingly similar.

Duke saved more than 50,000 elite soldiers, and also saved Ryan, who was not dead in history. Of course, Khadgar died hard, killing hundreds of thousands of orc elite soldiers, and pitted Orgrim severely. With so many fate shifts, the similarity has dropped by 1%. Thinking about it is also drunk.

However, thinking about the tall Burning Legion that will appear later, what kind of Genesis Titan, I suddenly feel as if I have done so much, in exchange for a 1% change in the world is also very remarkable.

Well, back to reality.

At noon the next day, the first batch of ships arrived. This batch of ships also had sufficient space. After supplementing some daily necessities and medicines for those who continued to wait on the island, they were able to carry 16,000 people.

On board, Duke was busy.

Because the tribe didn't pay much attention to the western wilderness, Duke was able to smuggle the summer grain that hadn't been sent to Stormwind City to Nanhai Town. This batch of grain can greatly alleviate the food shortage in Nanhai Town.

In addition, there is the migration of murlocs and naga. In fact, the orcs have nothing to do with the murlocs on the coast, but Duke has a place that needs more murlocs—South Sea Town.

The entire continent of the Eastern Kingdom is actually divided into two continents, the north and the south, which are connected by a huge Sador Bridge.

To the south of the Southern Continent is the Kingdom of Stormwind and its territory, while to the north of the Southern Continent is the dwarf territory centered on Ironforge.

To the southeast of the northern continent is the Arathi Highlands, where the Kingdom of Stormgard, with Stromgarde as its capital, is located.

Just to the south is the Hillsbrad Foothills, the domain of Alterac, the weakest of the seven human kingdoms. The place where the refugees from Stormwind City were evacuated was Southsea Town, which is located in the south of the Hillsbrad Hills and by the sea.

A little to the west of the northern continent is the magical kingdom of Dalaran, and a little further north is the most powerful kingdom of Lordaeron.

Of course, the northernmost part of the entire northern continent is the kingdom of Quel'Thalas where the high elves are located.

Now, Duke migrated the murlocs because Duke needed the murlocs to help recover the murlocs there, and to fish as much as possible to provide fish catch to the refugees in the Stormwind Kingdom.

About 50,000 refugees from the Kingdom of Stormwind were accepted by the sea kingdom of Kul Tiras, and 100,000 people continued to head towards Stromgarde, Alterac, Dalaran, and even Lordaeron. Counting the 50,000 elite soldiers who were actually stranded in Nanhai Town, that is, less than 450,000 people.

Even so, it is a very heavy burden.

Through the system wizard, Duke has already calculated that even if he finds enough land for reclamation right away, there will still be a shortage of at least 20,000 tons of grain until the first batch of grain is harvested next year.

In this day and age, it's almost astronomical.

This is completely beyond the amount of grain that can be purchased commercially.

Ryan is escaping from reality and throwing the food problem on Duke.

This made Duke extremely toothache.

He had to do as many things as mountains, such as finding time to go to Stranglethorn Vale, the southernmost part of the Eastern Kingdom continent, to clean up the remaining Bloodsail pirates. Another example is taking time to practice magic.

After much consideration, Duke finally decided to visit the Barov family in Alterac first.

Perhaps many people will have doubts, why does the town of South Sea belong to the Kingdom of Alterac, Duke doesn't visit the king, but instead visits the Barov family?

This starts with the painful history of the Kingdom of Alterac.

Originally, the Alterac Kingdom had a long history, but the current royal family has a very short history, that is, the past twenty years.

The first king of Alterac was born from a wealthy family, and he founded the Kingdom of Alterac in order to have his own place. He chose to build his kingdom on the steep Alterac Mountains, barren land and poor living environment, and very few people were willing to follow him, which made the kingdom's actual territory and power extremely small.

It is no exaggeration to say that Alterac is the weakest of the seven human nations.

This generation of King Aiden Perenold took over such a mess, and the situation did not improve until the Barov family joined.

The Barov family of the Kingdom of Alterac is a wealthy family that controls the vast land east of the Alterac Mountains, Brill, Tarren Mill, Kael Darrow, and the town of Southsea. These places are their fiefs.

Their wealth is so much higher than that of the Alterac royal family. They have the blood of the Arathi people, and the people in the family live in Keir Darrow County, the old castle of the Arathi nation. Continuation of this ancient and noble family lineage.

In fact, it was the Barov family that Duke had been dealing with.

From the very beginning, Duke did not set the goal of securing food on other forces. Food shipping in this day and age sucks.

As long as it is farther away, 50% of the food will be lost at every turn. The only thing Duke feels lucky is that in this era, because of the unstable grain harvest, most families have the habit of storing grain. As long as the wealthy Barov family is dealt with, there is no need to worry about food until next year.

A week later, Ryan and Duke arrived in South Sea Town.

Ryan was very surprised by the expanded South Sea Town—the stone pier made according to the standard of Stormwind City; from the entrance of South Sea Town, there are endless and neat wooden houses; medical treatment, food, fire protection, toilets, all kinds of All kinds of living facilities are available; there is even a huge wooden fence being built.

But after Ryan appeased the people, he hurriedly embarked on the road to Lordaeron.

But Duke left Windsor to help him train his private soldiers, and he took Makaro and others as a facade to Keir Darrow County to meet Alex Barov, the best friend of King Aiden , now Duke Barov.
