Starting out as a commoner, he was just a small militia captain at first, and became famous in the battle of Sador Bridge and the counterattack on the wetlands. Later, unwilling to be lonely, he gave up fighting for power in his own country, and guarded the Dark Portal for the humans for more than ten years. In the end, he killed his way into Draenor.
No matter how one looked at it, Danas Trollbane was the true hero who inherited the title of Trollbane (Trollbane Killer)!
Even when he reestablished contact with the Outland, Danas personally refused to be crowned king, and announced that he was' only willing to fight for humans and the Alliance '.
That's right, the most important reason Danas refused to be crowned king was that he had no reason to abandon the Outland Expeditionary Force, become a coward and deserter, and return to live a comfortable life as a king.
This reason instead aroused the enthusiasm of the people.
Thus, the so-called Highland King's Party, who shouted for Danas to be a hero, appeared. They were Stormgardians who wandered all over Azeroth. In this Outland Expedition, they gathered together, joined the expeditionary force, and shouted slogans.
"Fight for the true king of Stormgarde!"
"Wipe out the Outland! Let our king return to Torrential Fortress as the victor! "
The ideal was beautiful, but the reality was harsh.
Even if the Stormgardians had a high proportion of professionals, the absolute number was too small. After eliminating those who had obviously not undergone military training, only a little over a thousand people were approved to join the Outland Expeditionary Force. Moreover, the composition of the professions was obviously unreasonable — there were many melee fighters, few ranged fighters, and a few priests, but not a single mage.
This was normal. The Pharaoh was a profession that needed to burn money to support.
The Stormgardians, who lived a miserable life after the fall of their country, did not have the luxury to nurture their own mages. Even if they had the talent, they would sell themselves to the Dalajan and become a member of the Dalajan Mage Guild. Before the contract was completed, they could not return.
Coincidentally, when Torrential Fortress was destroyed and the Stormgardians had nowhere else to go, it was the current Princess Jaina of Kul 'Tiras who opened up Theramore and took in a large number of Stormgardians and Lordaeron who had lost their homes.
That was why they felt an almost blind affinity for Mark Dooku, who claimed to be Mage Kul Tiras.
Mark, who was under Duque's control, did not disappoint them. Although he was not particularly strong, his skillful casting and accurate attacks effectively overturned several Demon Guards that were charging at him. He even used the Quagmire spell, which was rarely practiced by mages, to trap a Hellhound with extremely high magic resistance. Everyone gathered a small team of spearmen and directly stabbed the Hellhound to death in the quagmire.
"Hahaha! As expected of a powerhouse who experienced the battle of Mount Hyjal. "Thomas laughed heartily." Mark! Forgive me for being presumptuous, but are you alone? If you don't have a team, can you team up with us? Even if it's a temporary one, we can discuss the conditions. If we have a Mage in our team, we can get a higher level mission from the Alliance's military office. Because this concerns Stromgard's score. "
After the third battle at the Door of Darkness, Duke had popularized the system of grading and rewards according to the grade.
"Meritorious service will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished. The Alliance is not a monopoly formed by a few large countries. Even if they are weak, people from other countries and independent organizations can still contribute to the cause of fighting against evil. "These were Duque's original words.
In order not to dampen the enthusiasm of other small countries and independent organizations, the Alliance would allocate an extra portion of the spoils of war from each battle to the organizations and individuals that performed well in the battle.
Not only the spoils of war, but also the rewards from the Alliance itself. This was what the small countries valued the most.
If the organizations or individuals from the various small countries worked together to obtain enough points, the Alliance could even tilt their policies and allocate manpower and resources to help them fulfill their dreams of revival.
For example, an organization that had a certain amount of points proposed to revive a certain village in the Arathi Highlands. The Alliance would send someone to conduct an evaluation and give a score after the event. As long as someone was willing to give enough points to support this plan, once the points were met, the Alliance would send a large number of craftsmen to rebuild the village.
Opening a path for mountains and building a bridge for rivers.
The last group to receive special support from the Alliance was the Wildhammer Dwarves of the Eagle Nest Mountain. Because they had enough points, Duque directly used public funds to pay for the entire [Lightning] Tank Division of the Iron Stove Fort and let them drive their tanks into the Hinterlands.
They used steam tanks and all kinds of modern machinery to create a new defense line that was more than three kilometers wide along the Varowen Lake in the middle of the Hinterlands. With this line of defense, the scattered Giant Demons that had yet to be exterminated would not be able to sneak up on Eagle Nest Mountain.
This made the territory controlled by the Wildhammer Dwarves at least twice as large.
That's right! This was the welfare policy of the Alliance to support weak countries.
While it greatly increased the cohesion of the countries and organizations in the Alliance, it also raised the reputation of the Alliance to another level.
This time, Duque also clearly marked the price of Stromgard's revival — starting from two million points.
As long as any organization or individual used various means to gather two million points and inject it into the Stromgard project. The Alliance would fund the reconstruction of the broken Thoradin Wall and Sador Bridge, as well as the entire Rapidstorm City.
The reconstruction of Rapidstorm City included the outer city walls, residential areas, and a palace that was not inferior to the Stormwind Stronghold.
If you wanted to raise the standard in this project, you could, but please give more points. From increasing the number of city walls, improving the quality of the city walls, to building train tracks from Rapidstorm City to Southshore, to turning the residential areas into villas, there was a wide variety of free choices.
The people of Stromgard were overjoyed. They wanted to bet their whole race on the spot and earn two million points first.
Unfortunately, dreams were beautiful, but reality was difficult.
Even though the Alliance had a clear price for points, such as a Demon Guard worth ten points, it was still far from two million points!
So they had to win over all the allies they could.
Faced with Thomas's invitation, Duque smiled, "I am a wandering mage, and I have also tasted the destruction of my country. Although Kul 'Tiras has been rebuilt, I will not forget the days when the people of Stromgard fought alongside me in Theramore. Alright, I agree. "
"Thank you very much."
At this moment, in Karazhan, Jaina looked at Duque with a little surprise, "Oh, my dear, what the hell are you trying to do? You painstakingly asked me to give you Kul 'Tiras' Identity Card, just to help Stromgard restore its country? "
Duque smirked, "Rapidstorm City has to be rebuilt no matter what. This concerns the face of the Alliance."
"Haven't several countries been rebuilt before?"
"Yes! The problem is that the queens of these countries have all followed me! Now I have to make it seem like the Alliance is not my word. "
