Chapter 275 By The Way (Please Subscribe)

The Horde threat hasn't gone away.

The Alliance and the Horde are like two behemoths fighting to the death, they have to temporarily truce in the face of the weather, each sucking his own wounds.

The refugees from the Stormwind Kingdom stranded in the Hillsbrad Hills received a critical batch of summer food. This was not enough, so Duke made another trip to the Barov family.

Duke did not see Duke Barov. The Duke went to Alterac. Unexpectedly, Duchess Janice, who met Duke instead of the Duke, agreed to Duke's request to buy food.

"No problem. The people of the Stormwind Kingdom have made outstanding contributions to resisting the tribe, and it is only right for the Barov family to contribute to this. How about 10,000 tons of wheat this year? According to the previous price."

This time I was surprised at Duke.

The 5,000 tons at that time was a 30% premium. Now based on the previous price, it sounds like the Barov family is still very dark. But now is not then. A great battle in Nanhai town made the entire northern continent realize that the threat of orcs was imminent.

Those horrible green-skinned beasts are going to slaughter the entire world of humans.

As a result, the prices of all things related to people's livelihood are soaring. Even if the alliance used a hearty victory to prove that the alliance has the ability to defeat the invasion of the tribe. Various kingdoms have also introduced a large number of policies to suppress the soaring prices, but the most critical food price has still risen by more than 2.5 times.

Selling at the previous price, it's not a scam, but a big sale!

Duke suddenly moved: "This is really... I thank you for the people of Stormwind."

"You're welcome. Helping the citizens of the Stormwind Kingdom is helping the Alliance, helping us in Alterac." The Duchess showed a kind smile: "Yes, I heard that your private soldiers are not equipped enough. The Barov family can Any help?"

In a state of war, the prices of weapons, food, soldiers, and all war-related things are soaring.

Duke's luxury business has long since stagnated. If Duke's so-called private army hadn't been able to gather weapons and equipment before the all-out war, they would probably have to equip the militia with a cut bamboo, known as a bamboo gun...

Of course, everyone lacks weapons, especially after losing their homeland. Even though Duke opened a blacksmith shop in the refugee camp north of South Sea Town, workers and raw materials were still extremely scarce.

The Barov family obviously has no shortage of these things.

"Frankly speaking, both the Stormwind Kingdom and my private soldiers need it. Excuse me, what do I need to pay for this? Madam Janice." Duke asked politely.

"As a testimony of the friendship between the Barov family and the Marcus family, these small gifts are nothing to mention. If I have to say what I personally hope to get, can I take the liberty to ask Duke to teach my little daughter Ilucia [Multiple] What about the mystery of spellcasting?"

Duke was stunned, and then smiled.

Among nobles, the best way to deepen the connection is through marriage.

Mrs. Janice is very bright.

If it was the previous Duke, the Duke and the Duke's daughter would definitely be a good match. The current Duke is the hot new star in the Alliance of Lordaeron, the deputy commander of the alliance, plus the glorious feat of saving five kings and winning the battle of Southsea Town. Duke is almost synonymous with miracles.

So many princesses, including Princess Kalia of Lordaeron, almost followed Duke's choice.

If the marriage is proposed again, then the Barov family will only bring shame on themselves.

On the other hand, the Barov family urgently needed to find a backup backer. Alterac is too weak. Even if it starts to enter a state of war, the entire Alterac now has a strength of just over 30,000 troops, including 20,000 farmers and soldiers. These farmers who had just washed their feet and went to the fields were completely scumbags in terms of morale and training.

Apart from the ambitious Lordaeron, the homeless Stormwind Kingdom is an ideal partner for cooperation. Maybe the Stormwind refugees will stay near Southsea Town for a long time, but as long as the Seven Kingdoms of Humanity and the Alliance still exist, then the Stormwind Kingdom will never dare to take the risk of being accused by the world and covet the land of Alterac instead.

Under the policy of almost saving the country with curves, Barov proposed to let Ilucia Baiduk be his teacher.

In Azeroth, although there is no such thing as a teacher for one day and a father for life, the teacher-student relationship is also a very important relationship. If it is not for national righteousness, the rise and fall of the country, betrayal of teachers and murder of teachers, the entire human country will be ashamed. Even with the name of righteousness, this is not a glorious thing.

This is why in the original history, even if Khadgar killed Medivh for the sake of the world, he was still criticized by many people.

Duke thought for a while: "I am now shouldering the responsibility of the deputy commander of the alliance. I may not have much time to teach Miss Ilucia..."

When she said this, Duchess Janice was so nervous that her heart was almost in her throat. The relationship is like this, if you don't advance, you will retreat. It is very difficult to maintain the same level. Besides, the Kingdom of Stormwind has gained a firm foothold now. It was the Barov family, which was weak in military strength, and asked Duke and the Stormwind Kingdom for the threat of the orcs that were likely to come.

Today is different from the past. At this time, Duke and Stormwind Kingdom can completely ignore Alterac and the Barov family.

Not being friends with Barov is neither good nor bad for Duke. Considering the destruction of the Barov family in "Later Generations", Duke really doesn't have the need to save this family that is so black-faced.

At this moment, the faces of the undead versions of Janice and Ilucia in the Semana Academy that appeared in Duke's mind overlapped with the Janice in front of him.

For some reason, I suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the Barov family. I have struggled for so long, just not to become a ghoul.

Duke seemed to see that the later Ilucia Barov stood among a group of necromancers. Even though her family was not far away, she could only wait alone for the Lich King's call to go Summon her to the sanctuary of the undead Scourge.

And Mrs. Janis frantically dissected one corpse after another. At that time, she was no longer the elegant and beautiful mistress of the Barov family. In her crazy eyes, those soulless zombies were her only ones. friend……

Since World War I, there are too many kingdoms and families destroyed by three consecutive wars. Duke is not a savior, and it is impossible to save everyone.

However, since this tragedy happened right under my nose, let's save it by the way.

Thinking of this, Duke changed his subject: "However, if the Barov family does not dislike it, I am willing to discuss the mysteries of magic together with Miss Ilucia."

It wasn't until this moment that Mrs. Janice really breathed a sigh of relief.
