Chapter 443 Unexpected Declaration
"But I can't avoid it!" Alsace clenched his fists vigorously: "That guy Achinas claims to be the Minister of Regent, but he asked me to make a decision at a critical moment. I don't know many things at all. Wait until I know At that time, I already had to choose a less bad decision among two bad ones. I don’t understand, what is the difference between me and you, the commander, in making choices in essence?”
All around suddenly fell silent.
Although this side hall is empty, who knows if someone next door will overhear.
No, it should be said that Duke was sure someone was eavesdropping, he didn't even need a system prompt, he had already heard the heavy breathing. Duke didn't know who it was, Duke only knew that he had to be careful with his words.
Duke held his cheek: "Can I ask you a somewhat cruel continuity question?"
"You ask." Alsace made a gesture of invitation.
"You are drifting on the sea with a boatload of refugees, and you can't expect to be rescued. Suddenly, one-third of the people are infected with the plague. What do you do?"
"I..." Alsace showed a painful look on his face, "I will let those one-third of the people jump into the sea."
Isolation, and then leaving the infected to fend for themselves, is the most common way to deal with plagues in this era.
Duke was noncommittal: "What if you find out that half of the remaining people are actually infected with the plague?"
"Let them jump into the sea too." Alsace's voice had already dropped.
"After a while, you will find out that among the remaining people, there is still one-half..."
"Enough! You are torturing my conscience and soul!" Alsace's eyes were red, and he slapped the table.
"No, I didn't torture your conscience and soul." Duke looked at Alsace coldly: "I'm just telling you, don't use your shallow common sense to judge every problem, and then force yourself into The dead end of the dilemma. The biggest difference between you and the commander is the comprehensiveness of the problem!"
"comprehensive!?"
"Yes! I just asked you what to do? I didn't force you to follow the rules of this era."
Alsace was stunned: "Then what should we do?"
Duke said sharply:
"Have you ever studied medical knowledge?"
"Have you asked if there are any doctors among the refugees?"
"Is there a priest?"
"Have you confirmed the type of plague?"
"Is there hope for a cure?"
Alsace was stunned by five consecutive "is there?", he justified: "But I don't understand that common sense at all..."
"That's why I asked you to ask if there is a doctor among the refugees? As a commander, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, you can leave it to the experts. You must appoint a guy who looks the most reliable to be your consultant in this regard. If you don’t know how to choose, let the person in that area choose one. If you can’t judge, let the experts judge for you.”
Alsace was shocked at first, but after the shock, he felt admiration from the bottom of his heart. It turned out that Duke Marcus, who was famous as the deputy commander of the Alliance and the Horde, and who had won so many great battles, was successful for a reason.
Is this the difference between myself and the top commander?
yes! After I received the alarm from the deputy commander in chief, since the regent minister is incompetent, I should shoulder this responsibility and arrange things as comprehensively as possible, instead of doing nothing and making painful choices until the situation deteriorates.
Arthas bowed deeply to Duke.
"Teachable. I only have one last question, Your Excellency Marcus."
"You ask."
Alsace asked solemnly: "What if at the end of the day, I have no one to rely on, and I don't have common sense in this area, so I have to make my own choice?"
"Avoiding the worst is also increasing your options. The lack of a better option is itself proof that your vision is too narrow. If your wisdom and insight are not enough to create some better options for you, then you Choose the choice you are most worthy of. If you really try your best, you will always feel better, at least you can comfort yourself.”
"Comfort yourself...?" Alsace was a little dazed, his whole body was dizzy, thanking Duke again as if sleepwalking, and then left.
Duke watched Arthas, who should have become the Lich King in history, leave like this, and Duke also sighed. He also regrets the depravity of Alsace in history. This cannot be blamed on the Alsace in history. This is the conspiracy of the most proficient in human nature and the most despicable and shameless devil.
Duke didn't know if he could reverse the 'future' of Alsace's depravity. Maybe he will change the fate of death tragedy like Ryan, Van Cleef and his daughter, and Lilas, or maybe he can't, but at least he has tried.
"Instead of doing nothing and regretting it, why not regret it after doing it?" Duke seemed to be talking to himself, mocking himself.
"Yes! Well said!" A crisp female voice came to Duke's ears suddenly, and Duke instinctively felt that the voice was a bit familiar.
In the next second, he discovered who the owner of the voice was—Princess Calia Menethil.
Duke was dumbfounded.
"your Highness……"
A girl in a pure white floor-length low-cut dress stood alone at the door of the side hall.
Seeing the girl crossing her hands and fingers in front of her chest as if trying to suppress her excitement, Duke suddenly felt a feeling of "pureness".
He didn't know if there was a slight sigh mixed in with his nostrils.
Obviously, all the noise at this moment disappeared because of the girl's concentration.
Any other elements would be downgraded to impure objects, and the two pure, focused, and even fanatical lights in the girl's eyes were overwhelming.
The love that almost turned into reality, like a prayer that pierced through the heart, Duke felt the admiration in the girl's eyes almost instantly.
Princess Kalia... madly in love with me?
I have to say that Princess Kalia is indeed a stunning beauty. Her exposed skin is crystal clear, and her body is so slender that it looks like porcelain that will shatter when touched. Her whole body exudes a depressing beauty.
The problem is, Duke has no idea about Princess Kalia!
In Duke's eyes, the royal family of Lordaeron is a pit. He has absolutely no intention of making friends with the royal family of Lordaeron. Duke was stunned when he met Princess Kalia's eyes.
The breathing was getting heavier, and the girl was obviously very, very nervous. She seemed to have forgotten what she should say.
The princess's voice was full of trills, and she was a little incoherent: "That day, thank you for your roses... I, but I... What touched me the most was that you saved the entire city of Lordaeron when it was about to collapse. Saved me too."
"Well, that's what I should be."
"I... I... I... Can I be your follower?"
"Huh!?" Duke was stunned again!
Thank you for your support and rewards, and thank you gavemepower for becoming the third leader of this book. Although I really want to continue to be a model worker today and add more amazing horses... Unfortunately, I have to spend time with my family and children, spend the afternoon at the park, and go out for dinner at night. Don't expect another update tonight.

Let's talk about it tomorrow.
