Chapter 585 King? I Do Not Care

Janice is a little surprised.

It seems that Duke does not ignore the internal affairs of the league as rumored by the outside world.

According to the alliance declaration signed at that time, from the moment the Dark Portal was destroyed and the Horde was defeated, Anduin and Duke automatically lost the power to command the armies of various countries, and all alliance ranks were temporarily frozen until there were new threats. Forced to start the military alliance of the alliance again.

This is only in the military field. In the eyes of the kings, there are only two commanders of the alliance-Anduin Lothar and Duke Marcus. Mograine is good, that is, the level of 'good', not a real commander.

And Duke, after leading the army to save so many kingdoms, almost every country in the eleven countries of the alliance wants to buy Duke's account. The main reason for the boat.

After that incident of buying food, Janice didn't pay attention to Duke any more. She felt as if she was stupefied. The boy who seemed immature back then, who was simply King Ryan's random brat and made him a duke, had grown into a whole A giant that Barov and even Alterac need to look up to.

Now, Duke directly said the name that made the entire Barov family, and even the remnants of the entire Alterac Kingdom fearful, and let Janice understand that Duke is not really at ease as his Grand Duke of Storm.

Mrs. Janice's mood is a bit complicated.

Duke's long-term vision, which has been proven time and time again, is almost prophetic, and it also made the entire Barov family palpitate. Even her husband Alex said that even if Duke was successfully made the son-in-law of the Barov family, he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

It's a pity that the threat from Lordaeron is the most real now. Judging from Duke's performance in rescuing Quel'Thalas regardless of past suspicions, we can only bet that Duke is a person with truly high sentiments.

Mrs. Janis sighed: "Now that you already know, as Ilucia's mother, I hope you will tell me in a private capacity, what should I do in Alterac? That Lord Prestor has a perfect identity." Proof documents. Unless a civil war is launched, Alterac can only sit back and watch an unknown person become King of Alterac with the support of Lordaeron, and then betray the interests of the entire Alterac. Maybe ten years , perhaps in twenty years, Alterac will become a province of Lordaeron."

Duke's right index finger tapped lightly on the armrest of the sofa he was sitting on. This Mrs. Janice was wiser than he expected. If Janice asked him in the name of the "Barov family", he would definitely fool her as the "Duke of the Stormwind Kingdom".

The problem is, now she plays the emotion card of Ilucia as soon as she opens her mouth. Although it made Duke a little upset, but Duke saw that Ilucia had followed him for so long, and a dignified high-ranking noble daughter helped him work, accompanied him in marches and wars, served as an envoy, and worked hard. I can't help it.

Duke sighed, and asked back: "Before answering your question, I also ask you as Ilucia's half-master and friend. What kind of king do you think Terenas Menethil II is?" ?”

Janice was stunned for a moment, then replied immediately: "A third-rate military strategist and a first-rate politician, as long as he does not touch the fundamental interests of Lordaeron, he is a merciful elder."

Janice's answer was very skillful, revealing her own opinion without unduly denigrating the king of a large country.

Duke leaned on the back of the sofa, resting his chin on his left hand, pointing: "Since we all think that he is a first-class politician, do you think Terenas will waste a lot of time with the people he supports?" Will the Barov family fight? You know, almost all the nobles in Alterac have been wiped out, leaving only the Barov family."

"So what? Whether it's General Haas or the Barov family, we have used our actions to wash away the shame caused by King Aiden's betrayal." Madam Janice argued.

"..." Duke was silent.

As a last resort, Janice threw out what she thought was the biggest trump card: "For the sake of the Barov family's efforts to rescue you and the Stormwind Kingdom, and for the sake of Ilucia, you can't help Alterac with a siege." What? If we play it right, we can make Ilucia queen and you king of Alterac."

His calm eyes, his eyes that seemed to see through all the secrets of the world, made Janice shudder. Janice suddenly realized that Duke was probably the kind of ruthless character who would not be moved by the mere interests of Alterac.

Duke flipped the palm of his right hand lightly, and a map marking the entire southern continent appeared in front of him. The next moment, all areas on the map including East Irwin, East Twilight, Red Ridge Mountains, and Deadwind Pass were inserted into his Storm Banner. The Swamp of Sorrows and Blasted Lands are marked in light blue.

He threw out a sentence that shocked Mrs. Janice almost out of her wits:

"If I want, as long as I say a word, Wrynn and Lothar will support me to use these regions as my territory to establish a country."

"Ah!" Mrs. Janice exclaimed.

She couldn't help being shocked, because this amazingly vast land was at least twice the size of Alterac.

King Ryan actually recognized Duke to this extent! ?

With a wave of Duke's hand, the map disappeared immediately. He crossed his fingers, resting the back of his fingers on his chin, and stared at Mrs. Janice with a firm gaze.

"But I didn't have that plan from the beginning to the end, because under the premise that the third Dark Portal War is bound to come, nation-building and so on are superficial ideas. You don't understand what the world of Azeroth will face at all. What, if you can see what I see, you will know that Lordaeron's greed for Alterac is just a trivial matter."

Duke didn't frighten Mrs. Janice. In this world, even Nozdormu, the bronze dragon king, couldn't match Duke. Duke is familiar with the history of the entire development of Azeroth, but Nozdormu has to pay a price for peeking into the future.

Janice bit her lip, and seemed a little unwilling: "Duke, are you really unwilling to help the Barov family?"

Duke was silent for a long time. In the living room, only the firewood in the stove was beeping.

After an unknown amount of time, Duke finally said, "I promise, in the end, I will help the Barov family."

Janice's face suddenly changed color. She didn't know what the last last meant. Literally, at least her and her husband's and Ilucia's lives would be saved.

But lost the fertile Hillsbrad Hills fiefdom, lost Keir Darrow, lost the Barov family of Darrow Mill, is it still the same Barov?

Janice stood up suddenly: "Since you are not sincere, Mr. Marcus, please forgive me and leave."
