Duque could not predict how Azeroth's history would play out.
Arthas had left Cuel Salas alone and gone to Rapidstream Castle to cause trouble. Antonidas' fall had cast a dark cloud over Duque's heart.
In the original history, Second Fool had fallen. Although he had killed many important people, there was only one person he had truly turned into an immortal — Cirvanas, who had completely angered him.
Now, everything was different.
Wuther had an unwavering soul, and Second Fool could not do anything to his teacher. Terenas had been too weak when he was alive. He probably could not even turn into a Lich.
The latest news was that Arthas had turned every Morning Star Mage in the Dalajan who had died in battle or surrendered into a Lich. At the moment, the Calamity Army had at least one Breaking Dawn and several Radiant Moons.
There were also a dozen Dreadlords on the Scourge's side, and Arthas, who had officially stepped into the demigod realm.
It was no exaggeration to say that the snowball effect of the Scourge was starting to form.
The High Elves' isolationism was acting up again. This time, Anastrian and the Silvermoon Council refused to join the alliance no matter what. Even though Duque had repeatedly warned them that the Scourge's target should be the Elves, they just refused to listen.
At most, they would blindly strengthen the defensive magic formation that they thought was invincible.
Duque was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
In the magic message, Duque did not care about anything else. "According to the Red Dragon Queen Alexstrasza's estimation, the Scourge's real target is likely the Sunwell. If these bones are allowed to obtain the power of the Sunwell, they may very well use it to summon one of the leaders of the Burning Legion, Archimonde! "
Kael 'thas tried to persuade Anastrian, but Anastrian just did not listen.
"Sir Commander Marcus, times have changed. After thirteen years of preparation, the High Elves have the ability to protect themselves and the Sunwell. Also, the light of the Sunwell cannot be tainted by outsiders. "
After saying the last sentence, which was obviously a warning, the Sun King cut off the magic message.
Damn! Sun King, you're awesome!
You even think that I'm an evil person who is trying to use the Scourge to steal the power of the Sunwell.
Duque was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
However, when he predicted that the Doomsday Army would attack Cuel Salas, he had no choice but to let Kael 'thas go.
In history, the Kaizi only received the news that his hometown had been attacked very late. When he rushed back, it was already too late. He could only bring his defeated army and join the Alliance in frustration and anger again in an attempt to take revenge.
It was no wonder that when Kai Zi led a team to join the Alliance for a short period of time, he was treated with disdain everywhere. Oh, no, not elves. Speaking of which, the High Elves had already been forced to join the alliance twice.
Who in the Alliance would be nice to such a fickle country that treated the Alliance like a market, coming and going as they pleased?
The problem was that Cuel Salas hadn't joined the Alliance yet. Alright, their prince had to rush back to save them. There was no reason for Duque to force Kaizi to work by his side!
Duque also had a headache now that his only mage-type helper was gone.
Now, Jaina had come to play the role of a strong helper … If he didn't consider the bad debt between him and Jaina, it would be a good thing.
After all, from a military point of view, Jaina's leadership and personal strength were more than enough.
If there was anything else that Duque had to worry about, it was that Jaina would be courting death because of her identity.
Facing Jaina, Duque sighed softly and said solemnly, "I'm very happy that you can stand up at this time and fight for humans and for the Alliance. I do need a strong mage to help me. But before I officially welcome you to join the Alliance, I have to say in advance — "
Jaina nodded obediently. "Go ahead."
Duque said in a voice that Mograine and the others could hear clearly, "Now we are facing a major crisis that is enough to destroy the world. I hope that the Alliance can return to the state of the last war, where there is only one clear and unified command. Everyone, regardless of their status, is a general of the Alliance. So, once you wear the badge of the Alliance, you are just a general under me. Other than that, you are nothing. Do you understand? "
"I understand. I will obey your orders. Commander Marcus! "
Duque waved his hand and someone brought out a beautifully decorated brocade box. Inside was the badge of a Major General of the Alliance.
Originally, no matter how noble Jaina's identity was, she would not be able to get the rank of Major General. This was the agreement between the various countries when the Alliance was first established — after the king entered the Alliance, his rank would be General. Only the successor of the royal family of each country would be a Brigadier General after entering the Alliance. Other nobles would not be given the rank of General unless they had more than five thousand soldiers.
Naturally, there was another reason why Jaina could become a Major General in one leap.
"The Dalajan City has been destroyed. The original Kirin Tor Council must be reorganized. His Excellency Sunstrider has chosen to return to Cuel Salas as an elf. His Excellency Krasus and the other Dalajan mages have clearly expressed their wish for me to take over the position of Chairman. I think the Kirin Tor Council needs more outstanding mages to lead the explorers of magic out of the darkness. Jaina, let me ask you, are you willing to accept the position of Kirin Tor Council member and the position of Major General of the Alliance? "
As Duque spoke, he observed Jaina.
The current situation in the Dalajan was very different from the original history.
It turned out that Antonidas' death in battle had caused a power vacuum. However, because Rhonin had saved the Red Dragon Queen, even if Rhonin was not very strong, Rhonin had been the one to take control of the Kirin Tor Parliament.
In this life, Duque had appeared out of nowhere. Regardless of whether it was Duque's identity, strength, or actual achievements, it was too easy for him to inherit the position of Chairman of the Dalajan.
If not for Duque's insistence on his identity as the Storm Duke, perhaps everyone would have called Duque 'Chairman Dakin Tor' instead.
Even so, the power of the Dalajan had actually fallen into the hands of Duque and Krasus. Considering Krasus' identity as a Giant Dragon, the Dalajan was now Duque's word.
Ten years could easily change anyone.
He did not know how Jaina had grown. Had she grown up crooked, or was she as f * cked as the girl who 'sold her father' in history?
Thus, Duque's offer of the position of Major General and Kirin Tor Council member was more of a test.
