Duque had never been handsome. Compared to Lothar in the movie, he was much less handsome. But this didn't mean that Duque had to accept himself as an old man!
Looking at the white-haired Khadgar in the movie, Duque was already pissed. Now that he had become himself … Who could stand a transmigrator suddenly turning into an old man?
Fortunately, he still had the Red Dragon Queen as a backup. Alexstrasza, who had bestowed the World Tree with life and the Night Elves with eternal life, could easily make up for his losses.
However, Duque didn't expect Sasha to suddenly say, "Don't worry. No matter what you become, I'll still like you."
"Pfft!" The group of single dogs around him all spat out. A group of people stared straight at Duke, as if they wanted to gouge out a piece of flesh from Duke's face.
In public, Duque's behavior left people speechless.
In private … Wasn't it enough that he had Aurelia? He even went after his sister-in-law when most of his men were still single. Did he still have any humanity left?
Fine, you're powerful. Go ahead and do it, but do you have to show off your love in front of us?
Don't you know that showing off your love is faster?
All of a sudden, the guys wanted to borrow flamethrowers from the FFF Guild to burn Duque too.
Duque was dumbfounded. You don't have to do that even if you want to attract hatred. Will anyone protect me in the future?
The innocent Sasha blinked her eyes, as if she did not understand why the atmosphere had suddenly become so strange.
Gavinrad blinked. "Boss, give me a piece of land in the Elven Forest. I'll forget about the trauma you caused me today."
Duque quickly agreed. "Okay."
As for the other two singles, Sai Dan and Abbendis, Duque promised to invite them to the Dream Angel Salon in Lordaeron for three days.
What was a Dream Angel?
Even though Sai Dan gave Duque a "you know what I mean" look, a pure, holy, and upright person like Duque certainly wouldn't understand!
(Blargh!)
Well, I'm still a 17 year old kid!
Regardless of whether others believed it or not, Duque believed it himself.
To Duque's surprise, the Red Dragon Queen did not appear even after he waited until nightfall. Who knew if they chased Nesario from the Eastern Kingdom all the way to Northrend in the north, then flew to the Kalimdor Continent, then circled around Pantalya and completed the magnificent feat of flying around the world.
Needless to say, the five silly Guardian Dragons with almost unlimited stamina and driven by their deep hatred might really be able to do it.
With no other choice, Duque could only open the portal and return to the Dalajan first.
What he didn't know was that the Dalajan, no, almost all the major cities in the Alliance's territory that received the latest news were in an uproar.
"The Alliance's Deputy Commander Duke Marcus has liberated the Red Dragon Queen from the evil Orcs."
"Two hundred thousand Orcs under the Grimbator Fortress in the wetlands have been killed by the Red Dragon's dragon breath!"
"The Horde has suffered a crushing defeat and has begun to retreat from the Arathi Highlands!"
"The Red Dragon Army has become the human's ally again!"
"The Alliance has won!"
Cheering crowds could be seen everywhere. People were shouting, cheering, and roaring at the sky in ecstasy.
Whose tears were flying?
Whose smile was in full bloom?
As long as one was wearing the Alliance's uniform, be it a 60-year-old uncle or a teenage boy, they would definitely be warmly welcomed by the people.
There was an old man holding a collection of fine wine, a beautiful young lady who was as passionate as fire, and a smiling child. Everyone was praising the Alliance in their own way.
However, this had nothing to do with Lordaeron.
After sending out 1,000 people and 250 people, only 192 people returned alive, including those who had lost arms and legs and could no longer fight on the battlefield. The actual loss was more than 90%.
It was no exaggeration to say that the elites of Lordaeron were almost burned to the ground!
If they had paid such a huge sacrifice in exchange for an equivalent merit, King Terenas of Lordaeron might feel better.
The point was, most of those who came back alive were the Paladins of the Silver Hand! Fairness and honesty were the virtues! The Paladins of the Supreme Creed!
These guys would never lie!
They would say to everyone they met, "We launched a surprise attack at the worst possible time! We encountered the main force of the Horde. If it wasn't for Sir Marcus's help, we would have been completely wiped out. "
Duque!
Duque!
And it was still Duque!
It was as if as long as Duque was still alive, Lordaeron would not be able to rise again.
Lordaeron had paid an unimaginably high price for this. More than a thousand elite Knights, Mages, Priests, Hunters, and Bandits had died. What did they get in exchange?
A wrong time to launch a surprise attack?!
Terenas almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
So the Lordaeron had paid such a heavy price in exchange for a 'successful' feint attack? If these thousand people were put on the battlefield, they would definitely be able to open up new territories. He died quietly in the fortress of Grimbatore.
It could be said that a general's success was built on ten thousand bones.
Damn it, Duque had become a 'general'. Why did the people of Lordaeron have to be the 'ten thousand bones'!?
When he heard the complete news, Terenas choked on his breath. He coughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. He coughed so hard that he almost coughed his lungs out.
He was bitter!
He hated it!
He used to hate the Horde that turned the Silverpine Forest into scorched earth.
Now, he suddenly realized that he hated Duque even more, who always stole the limelight from Lordaeron.
Before this, he had never imagined that there would be a day when he, the king of the strongest kingdom on the continent, would be jealous of a young man who once had nothing.
At this moment, he even wanted to assassinate Duque.
But he did not dare to do so. Duque, who had returned from Hell, was already the number one hero of the Alliance. And look at Stormwind's attitude. If he dared to touch Duque, Laing would definitely send out 200,000 troops to fight him. The kingdoms that were on good terms with Duque would definitely not sit back and watch.
Terenas secretly gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger.
On the other side, Stormwind held a grand welcome ceremony for Duque's return.
"Duque!" Laing rushed up to Duque the moment he stepped out of the portal and gave Duque a bear hug.
"Cough, cough, cough! (Let me go) "Duque's face was pale.
As soon as Laing let go, Andoine immediately followed up.
"Duque —"
"Cough, cough, cough! (I'm dying) "Duque's face was pale.
"Du … Ah! Duque, what's wrong? "Duke Bolvar wanted to take the third hit, but he was shocked to find that Duque was almost dead.
It was a mess.
