Chapter 774 A Test for Jaina
It was hard for Duke to predict what the history of Azeroth would turn into.
Arthas left Quel'Thalas alone and went to Stromgarde to run wild, and Antonidas's depravity cast a dark cloud over Duke's heart.
In the original history, the Second Idiot degenerated into depravity. Although he was awesome and killed many big figures, there was only one person who was actually turned into an undead by him - Sylvanas who completely angered him.
Everything is different now.
Uther has an unwavering soul, and there is nothing a fool can do against his own teacher. Terenas was so weak during his lifetime that he probably couldn't even change into a lich.
The latest news is that Arthas turned every Morningstar mage who died in Dalaran or surrendered into a lich. At this time, the legal combat power on the Scourge Legion's card is at least one sun and several bright moons.
In addition, there are currently a dozen Dreadlords who are still on the side of the Scourge, plus Arthas, who should officially enter the realm of demigods.
It is no exaggeration to say that the snowball momentum of the Scourge has begun to take shape.
The isolationism of the high elves happened again. This time Anastrian and the Silver Moon Council refused to join the alliance no matter what. Even though Duke repeatedly warned that the Scourge's target should be their elves, they just refused to listen.
At most, they just blindly strengthen the magic defense circle that they think is invincible in the world.
Duke was so angry with them that he vomited blood.
In the Magic Message, Duke almost recklessly revealed the spoiler: "According to the estimation of the Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza, the real target of the Scourge is likely to be the Sunwell. If these bones are allowed to gain the power of the Sunwell, , they are likely to use the Sunwell to summon Archimonde, one of the leaders of the Burning Legion!"
In addition, Kael'thas next to him tried to say whatever he wanted, but Anastrian just didn't listen.
"Your Excellency, Commander Marcus, times have changed. After thirteen years of preparation for war, the high elves are fully capable of protecting themselves and the Sunwell. Moreover, the glory of the Sunwell cannot be interfered with by any outsider."
After saying the last words, which were obviously warning, the Sun King cut off the magical transmission.
have to! Sun King, you are awesome!
He also regarded me as an unscrupulous person trying to steal the power of the Sunwell with the help of the Scourge Legion.
Duke's lungs nearly exploded with rage.
But after he predicted that the Scourge would attack Quel'Thalas, he had to let Kael'thas go.
In history, Kaizi received the news of being beaten in his hometown very late. When he rushed back, the day lily was cold, and he could only take the defeated army with his remaining troops. He was extremely depressed and angry and defected to the alliance again in an attempt to take revenge.
It's no wonder that in history, when Kaizi led the team to join the alliance for a short time, he was looked down upon everywhere. He was not a human being inside or outside, oh, not an elf. Speaking of which, the high elves have knelt down twice and been forced to join the alliance twice.
Who in the alliance will look favorably on a country that is capricious and treats the alliance like a vegetable market, entering as it pleases and leaving as it pleases?
The problem is that Quel'Thalas has not joined the Alliance now. Well, their prince has to rush back to rescue them. There is no reason for Duke to force Kaizi to work by his side!
The only legal helper around him who could fight was gone, and Duke also had a headache.
Now, Jaina has come to play the role of this powerful helper... If you don't consider the bad debt between yourself and Jaina, that is also a good thing.
After all, from a military perspective, Jaina is more than capable in terms of both her command and personal strength.
If there was anything else Duke had to worry about, it was the fear that Jaina would commit suicide because of her own identity.
Facing Jaina, Duke let out a breath and said solemnly: "I'm very happy that you can step forward at this time and fight for humanity and the Alliance. I do need powerful mage help. But Before officially welcoming you to the alliance, I must declare in advance——"
Jaina nodded obediently: "You say."
Duke said in a voice that was clear enough for Mograine and others behind him to hear: "Now we are facing a major crisis that can destroy the world. I hope that the alliance can return to the state it was in during the last war. Only A clear and unified command. Everyone, regardless of their seniority, is a general of the alliance. Therefore, once you wear the badge of the alliance, you are just a general under me. Other than that, you are nothing. do you understand?"
"I understand. I will obey your orders. Your Excellency, Commander Marcus!"
Duke waved, and someone naturally held up a beautifully decorated brocade box, which contained the badge of an alliance major general.
Originally, no matter how noble Gianna's status was, she would not be able to reach the rank of major general. This is the agreement between the countries at the beginning of the alliance - after the king joins the alliance, his military rank will be unified as general. The only successor to the royal family of each country is the brigadier general after entering the alliance establishment. The remaining nobles will not be given the rank of general unless they have more than 5,000 soldiers.
Why Jaina was able to become a major general was naturally due to another reason.
"The city of Dalaran is destroyed. The original Kirin Tor Council must be reorganized. Lord Sunstrider has chosen to return to Quel'Thalas as an elf. Lord Krasus and other Dalaran mages have made it clear that they hope that I can take over as Speaker I think that the Kirin Tor Council needs more outstanding mages to lead the seekers of magic out of the darkness. Jaina, let me ask you, are you willing to accept the position of a member of the Kirin Tor Council and a Major General of the Alliance?"
Duke said while observing Jaina.
The current situation in Dalaran is very different from its original history.
It turns out that the death of Antonidas in the battle caused a power vacuum, but because Luo Ning had the main merit of saving the Red Dragon Queen, even though Luo Ning was not too strong, without a better choice, it was Luo Ning who took charge of Ken. Rito Council.
In this life, Duke was born. Regardless of Duke's identity, strength or performance, it is not easy to inherit the position of Speaker of Dalaran.
If Duke hadn't insisted on his identity as the Grand Duke of Storm, perhaps everyone would have changed their name to Duke as 'His Excellency the Speaker of the Darkir Tor'.
Even so, power in Dalaran had effectively fallen into the hands of Duke and Krasus. Taking into account Krasus' identity as a dragon, Dalaran is already Duke's voice.
Ten years can easily change anyone.
He didn't know how Jaina was growing up, whether she was growing crookedly, or whether she was as fucked up as the 'bastard father' in history.
Therefore, Duke throwing away the positions of Alliance Major General and Kirin Tor Councilor was more of a test.
