Chapter 670 Valentine’s Day in Azeroth

At the same time, widespread freezing to death occurred across Lordaeron.

Except for the Tirisfal Forest area and the holy city of Stratholme, most of the maps in Lordaeron have been poisoned by orcs. The Silverpine Forest was burned to ashes by fire tactics, and almost no town in the eastern region (later known as the Eastern and Western Plaguelands) was intact due to the scourge of the orc force that invaded Quel'Thalas.

The people could only gather together in dilapidated houses and shiver with little food and clothing.

According to the latest statistics, at least 100,000 people died this winter.

After hearing the news, King Thoras of Stromgard suddenly felt extremely lucky. He also heard about Duke's method of building a house using templates, but it was a pity that the people of Stromgarde who lacked preparation could not use it.

Duke gave him a trick - banning people from returning to the Arathi Highlands until spring. A large number of people were resettled in the former Stormwind Kingdom refugee camp in Hillsbrad Foothills.

Here, at least there are almost perfect accommodation conditions, as well as stored food that cannot be taken away from the Kingdom of Stormwind.

It is said to be a reserve, but in fact it is all war preparations that the Barov family has hidden in secret places over the years. The Barov family was forced by Terenas to leave their territory, but they couldn't take away many things. Since the Barov family was determined to mess with Duke, the right to dispose of this batch of grain naturally fell into Duke's hands.

Duke made a favor and gave it to the people of Stromgarde.

Looking south in Nanhai Town, King Solas's cloak rustled in the cold wind. He suddenly said loudly: "Duke - this favor, we Stromgardians will always remember it! We will never forget it from generation to generation! "

Behind him, hundreds of Stromgarde warriors shouted in unison:

“Keep it in your heart—never forget it—from generation to generation—”

On February 15, standing on a peak in the Redridge Mountains, Ryan suddenly asked: "By the way, what is Duke doing now?"

"Teaching students. I heard he made the little princess of Kul Tiras vomit." Anduin shrugged.

"So fast?" Not only Ryan, but also the gossip souls of several ministers around him were burning.

"No, it's because I saw blood for the first time." Anduin corrected.

"Of course you will see blood for the first time." Ryan said with a 'we understand' expression.

Only the young Prince Varian was confused, looking left and right, wondering what these mysterious adults were talking about.

"It's not what you think." Anduin found that the description had become darker and darker unintentionally, and his face turned blue, and he had to roar: "Go and find out for yourselves, I don't care about this shit."

At this time, Ryan and the ministers were stunned.

Duke, what are you doing?

Dark Portal February 14, 3rd year.

A certain otaku surnamed Du who had never even touched a girl's hand and had a dark mentality vowed to use his power to name February 14th of every year as the Day of the Death of Couples.

Later, because a certain man successfully obtained the Windrunner sisters, and shamelessly used his power to deceive King Ryan in January: "Ryan! I always feel that the population loss of the Kingdom of Stormwind is too great. We need to cultivate a qualified person." To become a soldier, you must first have a qualified young male. It takes at least 16 years to grow from an infant to an adult warrior."

"Do you mean to encourage childbirth? Ministers have discussed it with me before, but didn't you say that the country can't spend more money as incentives to encourage childbirth?"

"No, we don't need money. We can designate February 14th as Valentine's Day. On that day, all soldiers, except those on duty, can have a day off."

"Why is it 'Valentine's Day'?" Ryan was curious.

"Ah! In order to fight against the evil orc invaders, countless good men bravely rushed to the battlefield without even leaving a single man and a half of their women. How many men shed blood on the battlefield and could never return to their hometown to reunite with their beloved girls. Don't you think this is A great tragedy?”

Seeing Duke touching his chest with one hand and stretching out the other hand, making the gesture of a bard reciting poetry, the corners of Ryan's eyes twitched sharply.

"In order to deal with the tribe, there is nothing we can do."

"Yes! But when the war is over, don't you think we should compensate our warriors well? At least 30% of our soldiers have to stay in the military camp or go out on patrol throughout the winter. You know, we will be here for a long time All must maintain at least 100,000 standing troops. Think about it, tens of thousands of soldiers have been holding back all winter, and then suddenly announce that they can go back to their hometowns to reunite with their loved ones on vacation. What will happen?" Evil Duke smiled evilly.

Well, that picture was so beautiful, oh, so eye-catching, that even Ryan, who has always been serious, had to hold his forehead.

However, in this era, there are no three gods of death on earth - Durex, Okamoto and Jesse Bond. These three gods of death have prevented billions of human beings from being born.

There have been statistics on the earth for a long time. Starting from February, after ten months, the most babies are born in December...

Ryan smiled bitterly and turned his head to Anduin, who was also rubbing his eyebrows: "What do you think?"

Lothar could only reply with a wry smile: "In terms of military discipline, this is terrible, but in the long run, it will be beneficial to the country. I can only agree. Anyway, those little brats below will definitely cheer."

As a result, the Kingdom of Stormwind officially announced on January 25 that February 14 would be Valentine's Day every year in the Kingdom. Soldiers could take a three-day holiday, or take rotational leave earlier or later. The purpose is to allow brave warriors to reunite with their loved ones after hard training and fighting.

You know, in this era, professional soldiers had very few rest days and no fixed holidays. The length of service generally exceeds 15 years.

In ancient Rome on Earth, professional soldiers had to serve for 25 years before retiring. The Kingdom of Stormwind sent more than one-third of its men into the army for the war. Although the war is basically over, most of these soldiers have signed an oath to serve as soldiers with the kingdom.

This announcement was made without any warning, and the whole country cheered for a while.

Jaina arrived in the Kingdom of Stormwind by boat on January 15th, ostensibly to become a disciple, but in fact, Dailin asked Jaina to come because he wanted to marry his daughter.

The accompanying belongings and servants alone were loaded onto three large ships, as well as an elite guard of 200 people. Well, there were also several ceremony officials. If anything happened, the wedding would be held directly.

Duke sternly protested, saying that this was not apprenticeship, but selling his daughter.

Dai Lin and Ryan, two old foxes, paid no attention to each other and understood it tacitly.

On February 1, a convoy of eighty carriages arrived at Karazhan along the newly built cement road. And two weeks later happens to be Valentine's Day, which is officially announced by the Kingdom of Stormwind.

February 14th, Valentine's Day, was sitting in the brand-new reception hall of Karazhan. Jaina was wearing a mage robe that was tailored to fit her perfectly. She felt that something special would happen today.

Although she was kept here for two full weeks after arriving, in Khadgar's formal announcement to her today, it happened to be Duke giving her her first lesson...
