In Duque's plan, Illucia was not supposed to appear here.
Illucia's early return to her family to meet Duke Barov was actually to pave the way for Duque to meet with the duke.
Duke Barov was a family supremacist. If he was called over by King Eden and faced the situation directly, it was obvious that whether it was out of his friendship with Eden or consideration for his family's business, Duque estimated that there was a 90% chance that he would agree to join the alliance.
In history, the Barov family had also boarded Eden's pirate ship and suffered terribly from Eden. When Alterac failed to suck up to the tribe's daddy, Eden fled to the Barov family's hometown, Kaer Darrow, and was surrounded by the Alliance's troops, Duke Barov finally chose to hand Eden over.
But after the war, the Barov family's territory was still confiscated, which led to the Barov family offering the entire Kaer Darrow to the Cursing Sect during the Third Battle of the Dark Portal, causing the family's territory to become a Scholomance where undead gathered.
Since Duque knew about it, he would not let this tragedy happen.
He easily convinced Duke Barov.
It was simple. If even the Alliance's Deputy Commander, Duque, knew about the so-called 'betrayal of the Alliance', then the so-called rebellion was simply a joke. Since it was an anti-human plan that was destined to fail, even if it was the king he was loyal to, Duke Barov had no reason to board Eden's sinking ship.
The reason for supporting the Alliance was also very simple.
"I am a human first, then a subject loyal to the king."
Just like that, Duque obtained the full support of Duke Barov and his wife, and was able to use illusions to pretend to be Duke Barov and participate in Eden's betrayal.
In Duque's plan, there was no need for Illucia to appear.
But now, Illucia appeared on the rooftop under the protection of four strong private soldiers wearing the Barov family emblem. Not only Illucia, but there were also two Alterac court mages standing behind her.
Duque glanced at the Red Dragon and Griffins fighting in the sky and said nervously, "Illucia, it's dangerous here. I only told you to gather people to help set up the magic array, I didn't ask you to come. "
"But I want to help you! Duque, you want to wipe out the Red Dragon Army, don't you? " A strong gust of wind blew past, causing Ilusia's beautiful black hair to flutter in the wind. Beneath her silver forehead ornament was a pair of beautiful, intelligent eyes.
Being with Illucia had always made Duque feel comfortable. She was considerate and submissive, just like a little wife who would meekly endure whatever hardship she encountered. Not only that, but she had a good upbringing and excellent diplomatic skills, and she was also quite smart. However, Duke did not expect Illucia to be this smart.
Duque smiled, "As I expected … I've seen through you?"
Illucia raised her chin a little proudly, "Of course, what you wanted me to do was to set up a magic circle to enhance the power of ice and snow, and I immediately thought of it. So I asked my father to use his connections to give you a little surprise. "
The daughter of the Barov family turned around and introduced them to Duke: "These two are Alterac's Court Archmages Gasnard and Chailt. They can give you control of the Alterac Palace's magic array. " At this point, Ilusia blinked, "One of the magic circles in the Alterac Palace is [Flight Restriction]!"
Duque was stunned.
To be honest, Duque was not sure if Orgrim would come. He just instinctively felt that Orgrim would not let go of the chance to control a human kingdom. That was why he borrowed the power of Duke Barov, who was in power with Alterac, to bring in half of the Silver Hand Knights and the Windrunner sisters.
The Silver Hand only had about a hundred elite Paladins. Half of the knights only had 70 people, which was not a problem for Duke Barov.
If Orgrim did not come, these people would be more than enough to suppress King Eden. If Orgrim came, the Horde would be in trouble.
Since Orgrim liked to use dragoons as cover, Duque hoped to change the ratio of air forces between the two sides. The Gryphon Knights of the Wildhammer Dwarves were strong, but they should be used in better ways than to fight the Red Dragons.
So, Duque secretly asked Illucia to arrange a magic array at the top of the palace.
But Duque only wanted to deal a heavy blow to the Red Dragon Army, not wipe them out.
He knew his own strength. It was too difficult to wipe out hundreds of Red Dragons with the power of a Morning Star Wizard.
Illucia had just told him that even Eden's most trusted Court Wizard was from the Barov Family, and that he could control the magic array in the palace to set up a no-fly zone?
Then there was hope!
A wave of ecstasy welled up in Duque's heart. Duque was so excited that he could not control himself. He subconsciously hugged Illucia and patted her on the back.
"Hahaha! That's great! That's great! I'll kill you lizards this time! Illucia! You've done a great job! "
At first, Illucia was dumbfounded. She had never thought that Duque would be so happy that he hugged her.
The next moment, a faint blush appeared on her elegant face.
She said lightly, "Ugh, as long as you're happy, Duque."
"Of course I'm happy! Alright, it's dangerous here. Go to a safe place quickly, I'm going to play big! " With that, the simple-minded Duque threw her aside and went to discuss some matters with the two Court Wizards.
Illucia pursed her lips, her small hands gripping the hem of her Wizard robe tightly before letting go. "Duque … is a man who does big things."
With that, she did not plan to pester Duque. After bidding farewell to Duque, she tactfully retreated.
A few minutes after Duque sent a magical message, Kudran, who was fighting in the sky, finally received Duque's message.
"What? Are you kidding? "
"Of course I'm not kidding!"
"Please, you're playing with fire with the lives of all the Wildhammer Gryphon Knights and Gryphons in the Eagle Nest Mountain!" Kudran almost cursed out loud, "Losing speed and altitude in an aerial battle! That's suicide! And falling from this height won't kill those lizards! "
"Who told you that I want to fight a simple aerial battle?"
"I don't agree! Unless you have a better reason to convince me! " As he spoke, Kudran controlled Scarlet to make a maneuver that was similar to Engerman's Spin. While Scarlet was spinning, Kudran used Stormhammer to send an Orc flying into the air.
"Alright, I've told you, my trump card is …"
Upon hearing that name, Kudran's body trembled, "Alright, you've convinced me."
