Chapter 778 A Trip to Ironforge
Gianna is smart.
If she is a stupid woman, she might be happy to see her love rival suffer.
Gianna is clearly not stupid. She is not arrogant enough to challenge Alleria, who has been in a relationship with Duke for fifteen years, and Veresa, who has been in a relationship with Duke for thirteen years. The elf sisters over there come together, but they have attribute bonuses.
What's more, kings of this era never lack lovers. Not to mention far away, isn't her father, King Dailin, also accompanied by Gina*Golden Sword?
What she pursues is Duke's wife status in name only.
In public, she could not force Duke to do stupid things and use the entire alliance for personal gain.
Privately, she could not persuade Duke to give up Sylvanas.
Her advice was sound.
Duke couldn't help but give Gianna a thumbs up.
At this time, Duke suddenly raised his voice and said, "Are you satisfied with this result?"
Jaina was startled. It was obvious that Duke was not telling her. Sure enough, a vague female figure quietly appeared from the corner of the tent. Then Jaina recognized that the woman was the elder of the Windrunner family. Si Li drawing.
Rarely, Lilas' expressionless face showed joy: "Thank you, brother-in-law."
She didn't know yet that her words were like stabbing a certain female mage in the chest.
Gianna was also shot while lying down.
If Jaina has a fit, she loses.
If she pinches her nose and admits it, she will lose.
She didn’t express any opinions, why the hell did she lose.
She could only show an embarrassed expression and complain to Duke with her eyes - I am also desperate! I'm technically your fiancée. Why don't you give me a good time?
Duke also had a headache and he felt like a jerk. Logically speaking, he should reject Jaina cleanly. However, Ilucia wrote a private letter to advise him not to show off at this time. The alliance is weak enough now. If Kul Tiras continues to be hostile, even on the surface, it will not be a good thing for the alliance.
After all, Lilas is so ugly.
Taking a deep breath, Duke called Lilas over: "I can't go to Quel'Thalas now. This is a political game between the Alliance and the Elf Kingdom. Whoever seeks the other first will lose. Putting one power over other members Inviting Quel'Thalas, who is above the country, to join the alliance will eventually lead to the collapse of the alliance. I am responsible for the entire alliance. Therefore, it is up to you to ensure the safety of your second sister. You do this for me..."
Duke used the language of wind he learned from Alleria to explain Lilas carefully, and then Lilas took the things Duke gave her and left in a hurry.
Just after the explanation here, Mograine, Abidis, Kael'thas and a group of Lordaeron generals came to visit.
Seeing Lilas leaving and Jaina sitting in Duke's tent, several alliance bosses were a little surprised.
The people of Lordaeron were naturally a bit dissatisfied, and Kael'thas apologized: "Sorry, Duke, my father seems to have re-appointed Ms. Sylvanas as the ranger general, responsible for guarding the southern front line of Eversong Forest. "
There is no airtight wall in the world, let alone the old fox of the Sun King who is forcing Duke to have an affair.
Duke sighed: "The Scourge is the most terrifying enemy that humans, elves, dwarves, and gnomes have ever faced. For His Majesty Anastrian to refuse to join the alliance at this time, he is still playing such a dirty trick. I despise him for his petty tactics."
Duke's words made Kael'thas blush so much that he just wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
Duke continued: "The Alliance will not make concessions because of Sylvanas. It has not been before and will not be in the future. This topic ends here. What we need to discuss most now is how to evacuate Lordaeron. refugees and fight against the Scourge.”
Duke's conclusion made Mograine and other Lordaeron generals breathe a sigh of relief.
After emergency consultations, Duke made a decision that seemed fair but could actually turn into selfish decisions at any time.
Because of the support of the 30,000 soldiers from Kul Tiras, and considering that reinforcements will arrive one after another, there are more and more undead near the border of Silverpine Forest and Tirisfal Glades, and more and more refugees are fleeing westward. difficulty. Duke led the Scarlet Cross Legion and the new Dalaran Mage Group to open new landing sites on the Whispering Coast and the Northern Coast in the northwest and due north of Tirisfal Glades respectively to evacuate refugees.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Duke has actually moved the main force of the Scarlet Cross to the northern coast. It's only a day's journey away from the elves' territory by boat.
In addition, Duke basically kept the Scarlet Crusaders from disembarking, so they really didn't even need to assemble.
However, politically, Duke's approach is flawless - he is saving people! Moreover, the sea is the strength of the Alliance. No matter how powerful the Scourge Legion is, it does not yet have an established navy.
I am giving full play to my strengths.
On the other hand, the defense near the Dark Portal was put in charge of Danath Trollbane. Promoted Turalyon to General of the Alliance and commanded a total of 100,000 troops, including Marcus's 40,000 private army led by Windsor, setting off from the Reed Coast.
Following the ocean currents, it is estimated that one can reach the easternmost part of the old Lordaeron territory in about a week. The eastern coastline is now called the 'Eastern Plaguelands'. There, there is a passage that Duke arranged before his disappearance and took three years to dig.
This passage is located south of the Hand of Tyr. Coming out of the passage is the newly built Port of Tyr. Not far south of Tire Port, it happens to be the Wanghai Cliff area where the orcs landed during the second Dark Portal. Over there, there are still more than 100,000 murlocs living there, all of them are Duke's men.
"Her Majesty Queen Calia Menethil decrees that Saidan Dathrohan will be promoted to Major General of Lordaeron. And in my name, he will be promoted to Major General of the Alliance. Let Saidan recruit militiamen to form the Stratholme Defense Line. Block the possible eastward advance of the Scourge. But in the meantime, all civilians must be evacuated to Tyr's Hand and gradually evacuated to the southern continent."
"Let Saidan hold on until Turalyon and Windsor arrive. I want them to turn into nails and block the Scourge."
"Also, once they see Arthas, Saidan, Turalyon and Windsor must immediately retreat at all costs. Arthas has fallen deeper now. He is already a demigod. I don't need to let the alliance The best generals go and die in vain.”
Duke gave several orders in succession, letting everyone understand Duke's intention.
It is still a strategic contraction, but when the contraction will last, everyone has no idea.
In particular, Duke called Alsace a demigod. The word demigod deeply hurt everyone's hearts.
At this time, Duke suddenly said to Mograine: "Mograine, Magni Bronzebeard has written a letter. He hopes that you, the most powerful paladins, will go to Ironforge."
It's New Year's Eve, and I wish you all a happy New Year in advance. Then... everyone will have a happy reunion dinner tonight.
Well, just have the reunion dinner and don’t worry too much about my updates today.
ps, I will get up tomorrow morning to send red envelopes to the VIP group!
