Edwin slapped his forehead in utter regret. This was a slap to his face. After all, he was in charge of the Marcus Family's intelligence work.
"It's not your fault. Anristo and Presto are very different in pronunciation and spelling." Duque wasn't spouting nonsense. After all, the common language in the World of Azeroth wasn't English. It was still an alphabetic system, but the letters, spelling, and pronunciation weren't the same.
Windsor sighed. "I'm still thinking about how to dispatch troops if something happens to Stormwind City … But that's a dragon! Mortal force is meaningless. "
"Reggie, don't move your main force. The Blackrock beastmen will run out of the Burning Steppes and cause trouble soon. I'll leave those guys to you. "
"No problem." Windsor patted his chest, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit. He was 38 years old this year, the best age for a man. His martial skills hadn't declined, but he'd experienced three battles at the Dark Portal in one go. He was definitely an outstanding commander.
Duque smiled. "Reggie, fight this battle as the general of Stormwind City. You'll get what you want."
Windsor's eyes lit up frighteningly. Of course he knew what Duque was talking about — the Marshal's Scepter!
A marshal who wasn't even forty years old. Just the thought of it was enough to make him go crazy with excitement!
"Isn't it just taking care of the Blackrock beastmen? Don't worry. "
If this was twenty years ago, Duque really wouldn't be able to rest easy. But after experiencing so much, Windsor was definitely trustworthy.
Edwin brought the topic back again. "Who's coming this time? A female? Female? Could it be Onyxia? "
"That's right. Too bad there's no prize!"
"What do we do? While she's still in human form, let's … "Vanessa made a throat-slitting gesture.
Duque laughed. "Stop joking! Only when you cut her with your dagger will you realize that her seemingly delicate neck is actually three feet thick. "
"Tsk, are all giant dragons monsters?" Vanessa was indignant.
Science could not explain why a giant dragon that weighed in tons would turn into a delicate woman that weighed less than a hundred pounds after using the [Ultimate Transformation Spell]. What else could Duque say about such a fantastical world?
Solarian interrupted, "Then what do we do? Should he just wait like this? It doesn't seem to fit … Master's personality. "
Solarian hadn't completely changed. After all, she hadn't spent much time with Duque.
Duque didn't mind.
He rested his chin on his left hand and rested his elbow on his knee. His right index finger tapped on the blue-dyed velvet cushion about ten times rhythmically and smiled.
"Solarian, you're right. Although waiting is in line with my status, the status of a mortal is meaningless to a dragon." At this point, a naughty smile appeared on Duque's face. "But since such a giant dragon doesn't play violence with us, and instead comes to the human world to play politics and conspiracy, wouldn't it be rude of us as the host not to play with her?"
Vanessa pursed her lips. "Dear Master, are you sure that Elune has cleansed you of all evil powers?"
"Damn it, Master is working, don't talk as a maid!" Edwin couldn't stand watching his daughter anymore. After lecturing her, he immediately turned to Duque. "Master, you spoil Vanessa too much. She's almost forgotten her duty as a maid."
Duque shrugged.
"Yes, Master. Are you planning to destroy the entire noble class?" Windsor suddenly asked. "After all, every knight apprentice is taught how to serve their lord when they are young. Only by making great contributions will they be allowed to enter the noble class and rise above the rest. If Master does this, with our power and power, we should be able to succeed. But there will be chaos, and who will rule the country in the future? Or do you want to change Stormwind to a Dalajan parliamentary system? Or a monarchical parliamentary system like in Quel 'Thalas? "
"Sigh!" Duque sighed.
So that's the case?
This was the inevitable limitation of the people of this era. Due to the lack of productivity and poor transportation, the human kingdoms of Azeroth where Duque had transmigrated were similar to the feudal system of medieval Europe.
It was simple. It would take more than a month to send an order to the furthest border. The scope of the king's authority was usually limited to his field of vision. He couldn't control anything beyond a three-day journey, so he had to give his vassals great autonomy. Every lord was in fact a local emperor.
But Duque used twenty years to promote the mechanical revolution with the steam engine as the core, and almost covered the entire territory of Stormwind. It would take less than a week to travel from Stormwind to the furthest territory.
Access to roads, access to money, access to government orders.
Maintaining the more primitive feudal system under such circumstances was actually hindering the development of the entire society.
For example, this time, the Princess of the Black Dragon Onyxia had just provoked a little, and the brainless nobles who were blinded by profits couldn't wait to jump out. On the surface, they wanted to increase taxes, but in reality, they wanted more power. Otherwise, they would threaten to abolish the railway transportation.
This situation was even worse than when Onyxia provoked the Mason Brotherhood to demand back pay from the Stormwind nobles for the construction of Stormwind City.
That time, the Stormwind nobles didn't pay for the construction of the city. It was a typical peasant worker demanding back pay.
Of course, there was also the reason why Onyxia lied to the backbone of the Mason Brotherhood. She asked them to falsify accounts and raise the construction costs to demand money from the Stormwind nobles. The problem was that at that time, the nobles were also very poor. Naturally, the nobles thought that this was extortion.
Under the Princess of the Black Dragon's provocation, the Mason Brotherhood rioted. The mole she arranged even threw stones at Varian's queen, Tiffany, to death.
Varian, who knew that he was in the wrong, was still extremely lenient and exiled the Mason Brotherhood instead of starting a massacre. As a result, the Defias Brotherhood came into being.
In this life, because of Duque's influence. The resources in Stormwind were extremely abundant, and the people were extremely happy. It was very difficult to incite conflict between the people and the nobles, so the nobles fought with Bolvar for power.
Who would have thought that Duque would return at such a crucial time?
Duque didn't want to cause too much chaos, but since Onyxia had started it, he could only carry on with the reform.
