"Wow, it's an official hereditary title? Then I'm a lord now too? Hahaha! " The third sister, Sasha, was the most excited. She took the document and looked at it carefully again and again. After confirming it, she was so happy that she spun around a few times.
Lilas accepted it calmly and then bowed to Duque.
Sylvanas put her hands on her hips and pouted. "Duque, you're so bad. You always give us land that's still under the control of the Orcs."
"I can't help it. The Horde's goal is to conquer the entire planet. If we don't defeat the Horde, no one in the Alliance will have a good time. The only thing I still have in my hands is Karazhan. How about I split it into a few layers for you? "Duke looked helpless.
"Hmph! I wouldn't want that creepy wizard tower even if you gave it to me. "Sylvanas didn't have any bad intentions. She was just complaining.
"If you don't want your land, then give it back to me." Duque purposely provoked Queen Sylvanas.
Cirvanas stuck out her tongue. "I'm not doing it! If I really give it back to you, won't I have to work for you for nothing? No, I have to show off in front of my subordinates. "With that, she ran away like the wind.
"Wait, I'll go too!" Sasha didn't want to be left behind and ran away too.
Lilas silently bowed to Duque again and then left the tower with small steps.
Thus, only Aurelia and Duque were left.
Aurelia suddenly realized something. Her expression changed. "Duque, you … Aren't you giving us most of your land?"
Duque laughed and pointed at the map. "No, to be honest, I don't care about land at all. In fact, Laing doesn't mind me being a king either. But when the enemy is right in front of us, it's not a good thing to split up and establish a country. "
Aurelia nodded.
The strength of the various countries had already been weakened badly enough. If they still established a country and divided the manpower and resources of the various countries, they would be the sinners of humanity and even the entire Alliance.
Actually, Duque was ridiculing in his heart. The Burning Legion's invasion is almost certain. Do you think I'll just casually establish a country and court death?
"However, it's impossible for my territory to be so small." Duque pointed at the bottom right corner of the southern continent map of the Eastern Kingdom, where the Horde's base camp, the Swamp of Sorrows, and the newly renamed Blasted Land were marked. "If we can successfully drive the Horde back to their homeland, but we can't destroy the Dark Portal, then there will be a problem. Who will guard the Dark Portal?"
The two of them had an answer in their hearts. It was definitely the Alliance and it was most likely someone from Stormwind.
"It's either me or Lothar who's guarding this place. With the strange magical properties of the Dark Portal, I'm the only one in command. In exchange, Laing will definitely allow me to link my territory together. "
Duque drew a big circle with his right index finger. On the original foundation, he added the Redridge Mountain, the conquered Swamp of Sorrows, and the northern part of the Blasted Land.
Although Duque's territory was larger than many of the territories of the kings in the Alliance, Aurelia could tell at a glance that this was a hard job. This meant that if the Horde were to make any trouble, the one to bear the brunt would be Duque.
At this moment, Aurelia looked at Duque as if she was looking at a saint.
"Duque, you're so great …"
"With great power comes great responsibility. For the happiness of our descendants, we can only take on more responsibilities. "Duque deliberately used the moral integrity of a Medivh. At this moment, Duque was a saint! Duque was the savior!
For a moment, Duque was almost moved by himself.
But …
"Eh? Wait! Our children and grandchildren? No wonder you're a hereditary count. You've never intended to give up your title and territory. "
Sweat!
Sweat!
Waterfall of sweat!
Super sweat!
This was why it was bad for a woman to be too smart. One of the reasons why Duque was so generous with his land was that he didn't want the fertile water to flow into other people's fields! Perhaps, uh, if he had a child with Aurelia, wouldn't the future lord be surnamed Du?
Now, it was seen through.
"No, I really didn't think that much! I'm just thinking of your people! "
Sometimes, an explanation was a cover up, a cover up was a lie, and a lie was a conspiracy.
"Great! Don't tell me you want to make a move on my sisters? Are you itching for a beating? You haven't even taken care of me, the great demon king, and you're thinking so much. "
"Wait! Why did the topic change so much? I really don't have any thoughts about your sisters, I swear … "
Then, he didn't know what happened.
In order to prove his innocence, Duque kissed her.
Aurelia seemed to be a little angry at first, but under the passionate kiss, her eyes gradually blurred. Then, for some reason, it became the second round of the brave versus the demon king.
The battle with Aurelia was a private matter, after all.
Following that, Duke began to make his preparations in secret.
If he didn't guess wrong, that major event in history happened recently.
It was the 16th of July.
On this day, the entire Lordaeron continent was still filled with the flames of war, but the King of Alterac, Eden Pirynold, suddenly called for an emergency meeting. All Alterac generals and nobles above the count rank had to attend.
"You summoned us, Your Majesty?" The one who spoke was General Haas, the commander-in-chief of Alterac's army. He stood at the half-open door of the palace.
A group of generals stood behind the muscular General Haas. Through the wide open door, they saw all the upper class nobles of Alterac, led by Duke Barov, who had the most prestigious position among them, gathered together.
Haas frowned slightly. He saw that the nobles had the same doubts as them.
What matter would require all the nobles and generals to be gathered?
If it was to allocate military funds or recruit militia, there was no need to summon all the important people in the military and government.
The generals and nobles had a bad feeling.
"Come in, my generals." Eden spoke loudly. Everyone could feel that the king was trying to calm his voice, but it seemed to be unsuccessful, "I just received an authoritative report that the main force of the Horde is indeed marching towards us. And the leader is their strongest chief, Orgrim Doomhammer. They've obviously chosen to cross the mountains to the north of Alterac to attack Lordaeron. This way, they'll be able to pass through the defensive line built by that brat Duque and approach Lordaeron from the southeast. "
Everyone immediately turned their attention to the huge map hanging on the side of the palace. It was so impressive that it covered the entire wall.
Eden's voice sounded again, "Now we have two choices. One is to face the invincible main force of fifty thousand with less than five thousand men, and the other is …"
