Chapter 210 Marshal Stallman

Duke didn't know that he was conspired to be sold by the queen and Bolvar, a guy who seemed loyal but was actually a jerk. If it succeeds, it will really be sold and count the money for others.

After returning to South Sea Town, Duke was really busy.

He only had a few conversations with the mayor of Southshore and later the legendary Herney Mareb, and he was immediately overwhelmed by a lot of things. In the temporary official residence—that is, a wooden house with a living room, a dining room and two bedrooms, Duke had to face mountains of official documents and messy requests.

Apparently, Bolvar hadn't played SimCity and didn't understand city planning. His fief has been passed down from his ancestors since ancient times. Moreover, Bovar is a relatively pure warrior, and he is really not good at internal affairs. Therefore, the internal affairs all belong to Duke in the end.

Knowing that Duke has strict requirements for urban planning, in general, Duke's consent is still required before proceeding.

With a big wave of his hand, Duke first held down the mayor of Marebu with the decree from Barov.

"Your lord, Duke Barov, has allowed us to build refugee camps and related facilities anywhere in the Hillsbrad Hills."

Then Duke called the civil officials from Stormwind City, and with a swipe of a pen, he drew a circle on all the grasslands on both sides of the avenue that spans more than 100 kilometers from Southsea Town to Hillsbrad Farm—well, here All of them were reclaimed as farmland, and they took this place as their own home.

Duke then asked Windsor to call in men to clear the Yeti from the mines north of the road. This huge humanoid creature with a height of more than three meters is a great threat to the refugees of the Stormwind Kingdom.

Well, by the way, a nearby mine named Jasper Mine was also accepted by Duke.

In the end Duke waited for two unexpected figures, his followers Edwin Van Cleef and Grian Stallman.

"Your Excellency Duke Marcus, Magistrate Gryan Stallman of Westfall salutes you."

Looking at the middle-aged man with four to six cents of gray hair in front of him, Duke was unknowingly stunned.

Duke has actually been paying attention to Grian Stallman. It's very simple, because according to history, this guy will be mixed up to the position of marshal. He can be regarded as one of the few grassroots heroes who have always been destined to climb to the top in the stormy kingdom full of disasters.

Unlike Windsor who died in the "History", Grian was a late bloomer, and until Duke crossed, Grian was still doing well in the position of Marshal.

Gryan was born in Westfall.

In "history", he followed Lothar to South Sea Town when Stormwind City fell, and then joined the Knights of the first generation of Holy Knight Uther. At that time, it was mainly active in the holy city of Stratholme.

Later, Lordaeron was in chaos, and the Defias Brotherhood rebelled in his hometown of Westfall. He went back to the wild west alone to help the fellow villagers.

Because Stormwind City didn't send any aid to Westfall at that time, the old man Grian was very angry, so he put on his battle robe again and called on the people of Westfall to spontaneously form the People's Army of Westfall to fight against the Defias Brotherhood.

Then the Brotherhood fell, and Varian returned. Then the Northern Expedition began again.

Stallman's People's Army also participated in the Northern Expedition and obtained the establishment of a regular army, which was renamed the Moon Creek Brigade. Grian himself has also returned to the rank system, and his title has risen.

After the Northern Expedition ended, the old man returned to his hometown with the West Wilderness Brigade to aid in the construction. But soon the cataclysm happened again, and the remnants of the Brotherhood revived again.

In this way, Gryan Stallman climbed to the position of marshal after repeated tossing and tossing.

Well, anyway, Duke knows that Grian is a super genius.

Now, the second sentence that the marshal of later generations spoke is:

"Your Excellency, I have talked with your follower, Mr. Van Cleef. I think we can open up a battlefield behind the enemy lines in the Western Wilderness and destroy the orcs' control of the Western Wilderness. In the future, we will prepare for His Majesty Wrynn's counterattack against Stormwind City."

"Pfft!" Duke spat! He really squirted!

He spouted the water he had just drank in front of both VanCleef and Stallman. Even though he turned his head, he still sprayed.

What the hell is this?

This pair of good friends who fell in love and killed each other in history actually told him that they would join forces to open up a battlefield behind enemy lines in the western wilderness?

Hello! Van Cleef! Do you know that Stallman issued the task of asking for your head in "History"...

Duke couldn't stop complaining in his heart, but after thinking about it, he immediately knew Stallman's reason.

Duke put on a serious face and took out a towel to wipe the corner of his mouth: "Sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to laugh at you, but I just thought of something."

Both VanCleef and Stallman were counting the non-existent ants on the floor at the same time, pretending not to see Duke spraying water. Duke is now a big man with a lot of things to do every day, and it is entirely for the sake of Van Cleef that he can take the time to meet them. Stallman, who is just a small local sheriff, of course dare not say anything, he can only rot in his stomach full of doubts inside.

Duke crossed his hands and put his fingers under the tip of his nose, covering half of his face, with a serious expression: "Please note that His Majesty Wrynn has issued an order before going to Lordaeron for support. In order to deal with the possibility of orcs For further incursions, all Stormwind troops are now regrouping and are forbidden to leave the Hillsbrad Foothills. Well, I want to hear your reasons. Real reasons."

The two guys looked at each other, and Gryan Stoutman spoke first.

"Dear Your Excellency, I am a native of the Westfall. I know everything about the Westfall. His Majesty the King did issue an order for the people of the Westfall to take refuge. Your Excellency, you also sent a ship to pick up the people of the Westfall. But in fact, there are at least nearly ten thousand people who refuse to leave their land. They hide in various mines and store food for a temporary living. They need the support of the kingdom. The kingdom will also need their support to counterattack Stormwind City in the future. As When Stormwind was besieged, it was the food from Westfall that helped sustain Stormwind."

After Grian finished speaking, Duke turned his gaze to Van Cleef: "What about you?"

"Master..." seemed a bit difficult to say, but Van Cleef said it anyway: "When I left Stormwind City, I always wanted to do more for you, Master. Not long after I arrived here, I passed the [Rogue] Professional test. The instructor said that I am a thieves genius who meets once in fifty years. So I think if I lead a team of thieves, it may be more helpful to you, master."

Duke sighed in his heart, as expected, talent is talent. Van Cleef was burglar material. It's just that history has completely changed, and the Defias Brotherhood that everyone shouted and beaten in history is destined to never appear again. Then it is not unusual for Stallman to follow Van Cleef to join him.

Everyone knows that he, Duke, can recruit 10,000 private soldiers, as long as he agrees, he can completely bypass the king's ban.

Duke thought for a while: "Okay!"
