Stormwind God

Chapter 287 Shall I Make Him King? (Seeking Subscription)

In the hills of Hillsbrad, a stone castle stands on a hill, which is the temporary palace of the Storm King's royal family.

Almost every day, new decorations are brought in in the castle, or rockery, or beautiful marble statues, or replace the previous poor floor tiles.

King Lane has repeatedly stated that the kingdom does not have a financial surplus to pay the masons. The stonemason expressed his gratitude to Duke for saving their lives. Anyway, after finishing those bunkers, he would have nothing to do in winter, so he could just find some stones to practice his hands on.

However, the stonemasons also said that one matter is one matter, when Stormwind City is rebuilt in the future, the wages that should be paid are still needed, but the cost price is enough.

Lane agrees.

Looking at the increasingly prosperous so-called refugee camp, Ryan was quite speechless. It was already quite inappropriate to say that this was a refugee camp.

This is completely the embryonic form of a new city.

The 3-meter-high stone city wall, which can accommodate three people at the top of the wall, has protected nearly half a million residents. The newly cultivated fields in the distance are all protected by huge wooden fences. Every 300 meters or so, there is a wooden 10-meter-high arrow tower, which can monitor the field in all directions without dead ends.

There is nothing lacking in the city.

The market, medical care, sanitation, fire protection, water intake, city guards, all the architectural planning and layout are in order.

In a city that lacks money circulation, there is no kind of gift that the state takes care of everything. All food and living materials must be exchanged through labor.

The food harvested in autumn, except for the necessary share for the family, about 30%, is all paid to the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Storm King. Substitute rolls go to the market to exchange for daily necessities such as cloth.

The rest of the work is similar, whether it is logging or quarrying, all materials are collected in proportion, and for the rest, workers get substitute vouchers as wages.

Despite the obvious lack of money, the entire refugee camp is functioning extremely well like a self-sufficient independent kingdom. It is completely unimaginable that more than half a year ago, here was a group of refugees who were almost desperate for life and future.

One day in December, watching the black heating smoke rising from the chimneys in the city, Ryan somehow felt warm in his heart.

On this day, Anduin Lothar came back.

Ryan and Anduin embraced warmly.

"Anduin, how's the situation?"

"Hey, in winter, I, the leader of the alliance, is a beggar. I go around begging with a broken pot. I only get a lot of promises that I don't know whether they will be fulfilled, and there is nothing real." It is precisely because there is no one else. Duin complained so presumptuously.

"It's better to have a promise than not to give it at all." Ryan asked the attendant to hand him a cup of hot wine.

Anduin didn't see it clearly when he first came in. Looking at the already very decent room, Anduin shook his hands: "Damn, I don't get dazzled, do I? Why do I feel like I'm back in Stormwind Keep?"

"It's really similar, isn't it?" Ryan shrugged: "I didn't force the masons to make these things. Anyway, it's Duke's favor."

Anduin used his fingers as a comb, and brushed his hair with both hands: "Oh, compared to him, I think my diplomacy is really bad. That's right, is there any good news for that little guy?"

"Is a new Storm King family mage group considered good news? 200 official mages, 500 magic apprentices. Although only signed a three-year contract for the time being."

Lothar's eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets: "Old man Antonidas is willing to let him go?"

"Duke said he bought it with a copy of Karazhan's magic book. I don't know about magic. Anyway, what he said is that since the Stormwind Kingdom spent effort to help collect it, it is definitely worthwhile to exchange a copy for these people. . Of course I agree."

"Promise! My God, that kid is amazing." Lothar patted Ryan on the shoulder vigorously.

Ryan had a faint wry smile.

"Why? Isn't this happy? If this continues, we may regain the Kingdom of Stormwind!" Lothar gulped down several gulps of wine.

"Anduin, actually, I've been thinking about it. If we can restore the Kingdom of Stormwind, why not crown Duke as king."

This topic is a bit too heavy, and Lothar didn't react for a while.

"Think about it, we all know that Duke is not actually from the Stormwind Kingdom. But how much has he done for us? Without him, maybe there are only 10,000 or 20,000 refugees left in the Stormwind Kingdom. I died early in the storm In the city, either died at the hands of Garona, or perished with Stormwind. I know that you will take good care of Varian for me, and maybe you will become the commander of the alliance. But how much right do you have to speak? There is no army directly under your own control. Even if you lead the alliance to defeat the Horde in the future, how many citizens can help you and Varian restore the country?"

"but……"

"Look outside, Anduin. Outside the window are half a million citizens of the Kingdom of Stormwind who are well-fed and can survive the winter safely, and there are also 100,000 elite soldiers who are full of morale and are willing to die for the kingdom. Before the cold winter comes , Maybe more nationals who went to other countries before came back. These are all done with the help of Duke. Duke's ability is no less than that of any founding king in human history."

When Ryan said this, Anduin was silent.

This is the truth, because the stability of the refugee camp in Nanhai Town has attracted all the previously dispersed citizens back. The soldiers lost in the previous battle in Nanhai Town were also quickly replaced. If it weren't for the difficulty of raising troops, it would not be impossible to search for all the young and strong and pull out an army of 200,000 people.

Of course, now all the young and strong in the entire refugee camp have begun to receive military training. There are still plenty of reserves.

"Emperor Thoradin was great, but Stromgarde, the capital of the Arathor Empire, fell into decline within a short period of time. Other city-states have become independent kingdoms, such as Lordaeron, such as Dalaran. There are many, many enemies of mankind , if this is an unstoppable trend, why not just let him go?"

"Have you asked Duke?" Anduin asked suddenly.

"No. But as you can imagine, Duke also has men, and Duke also has people who support him. At that time, it will not be a question of whether Duke thinks about it or not." Ryan sighed again: "I, who once destroyed the country, now have everything Think about it. Anyway, I will go with the general trend. After the restoration of the country, Duke can be crowned king if he wants to. If he doesn’t want to be crowned king, I will give him the treatment of a prince, and I will make a national policy and pass it directly to Wari The future descendants of Ann and Varian. It is enough for the Kingdom of Stormwind to retain most of Elwynn Forest."

"Okay, I agree too. It depends on the situation." Lothar finally nodded emphatically.
