Of course, as a bastard, ahem, no, as a benevolent hero of the Alliance, Duque wouldn't be so stupid as to hide it for too long. When Magni finished creating Ashbringer, Duque would see the so-called 'prophecy', which would send the adventurer Brewer Laing Bronzebeard on a treasure hunt. Coincidentally, he would pass by the Ice Dwarves' territory.
Anyway, he had the legacy of the Medivh. Since the Medivh had become a charlatan, no one would suspect him even if he made a cameo appearance.
If he couldn't find it, how could he, Duque, be blamed?
As the days passed, Duque began to wonder if the original history had collapsed.
On August 5th, Year 15 of the Dark Portal, the Horde finally gathered all the ships and began to cross the sea. Thrall was cautious. He was still wary of the Alliance attacking the Horde's fleets. He ordered the Horde to go out in batches, about one-tenth at a time. Every day, the Horde would go out to sea into three groups: north, middle, and south. Without losing their way, they would try their best to split up.
The elites of the Frostwolf Tribe were responsible for bringing up the rear.
To Duque's surprise, Jaina was the one who tried to attack the Horde in the dark.
She had secretly sent a fleet to destroy one of the Horde's fleets, but Duque found out and stopped her.
It had to be said that it was a very stupid move.
Throughout the history of Earth, those who fought on two fronts all died horrible deaths. The Calamity Army was terrifying enough. Since the Alliance hadn't destroyed the Horde in the past ten years, it would be unwise to attack now.
Duque was speechless. To prevent Jaina and Thrall from having unspeakable stories, Duque had given Jaina a strong dose of medicine in the Tirisfal Glades. Now it seemed … the effect was too good.
After being caught, Jaina felt wronged. "Those green beasts are blocking our way. We only wanted to scare them with our cannons. "
What Jaina said was partly true.
If Duke had led the tribe to the west coast of Southshore, perhaps there wouldn't have been such a problem. Unfortunately, the defense line of the South Sea City-State was a nail that Duque had ordered Ilusia to operate for 10 years in order to deal with the invasion of the Scourge Legion. It was meant to be nailed to the Rotterdam Kingdom to bleed the Scourge Legion. Of course, they couldn't let the tribe pass.
Duque also wanted the Scarlet Cross to go to Lordaeron as many civilians as possible to evacuate from the old territory of the Lordaeron Kingdom, so he could only take the North Stream Coast and leave the South Stream Coast to the Horde.
On the other side, the crossing of the flight routes was unavoidable. Especially when the transportation volume was so huge, it was even more impossible for there to be no friction.
Then, Jaina's fleet appeared and forced the Horde's transport ships to stop. She shouted, "If you green-skinned creatures dare to sail forward again, I'll destroy you."
This news was sent to the South Stream Coast by the wyverns of the tribe, and Sal was so scared that he almost prepared to attack the North Stream Coast.
Duque only found out about this when Sal trembled with fear and did not have much hope of finding an envoy to negotiate.
"Ah! This emblem … It's Jaina's fleet!? Uh, because Miss Proudmoore was almost killed by the Orcs when she was young, she hates the Horde. Now we have a bigger enemy, and there's no reason for us to start a war. Alright, I'll try to get Miss Proudmoore to restrain her subordinates, but in the future when you see her emblem, please be careful. "
The honest and reliable young man Duque righteously said that he would control his subordinates, but he decisively fed Sal a mouthful of sh * t. You should be careful of Jaina! She really, really hates the Horde! If you fall into the hands of this female devil, be careful that you'll be chopped into eighteen pieces! Pfft!
The dark Duque spat out fiercely. Let's see if you still dare to flirt with the beauty and the beast in this life!? Even if I don't want her, I won't let you, Sal, have it easy. You still want to be a KFC chicken in heaven, and a pig on earth? Dream on!
Duque's reply to the Horde's messenger was so sincere that Sal almost believed him. He believed that Duque was a great hero with wisdom and foresight, and that he put the big picture first.
Unfortunately, Grom Dungeon's roar woke Sal up. "If Duke Marcus wasn't the guy who sent millions of Orcs to hell, I'd be willing to believe that he's a human who's close to our Horde."
Yes!
On the entire continent, if Duque claimed to be second in terms of the total number of Horde kills, no one would dare to claim to be first.
To be honest, Duque didn't want to be so good to the Horde.
But the Scourge was spreading too fast. Duque could only get rid of the Horde as soon as possible.
Get out!
Get out!
Scram as far as you can!
Duque didn't hesitate. The next day, he sent a copy of the Scourge's marching map to Sal. He explained directly, "The Horde can either speed up the migration, or the Alliance will start a war with the Horde. We may not be able to deal with the Scourge, but we can still deal with the Horde. "
This time, Sal really believed him.
Without another word, on the 8th of August, they organized the largest crossing of the sea, sending away the remaining 50,000 Horde in one go.
And on the 10th of August, news came that on the 9th of yesterday, Torrent Fort fell for the second time. Half of the soldiers in the city were slaughtered. Even King Garin Trollbane died in battle and became an Undead.
Of course, a more general statement was — more than one Torrent Fort Wang Family guard confirmed that after the outer city was broken by the Scourge, Garin surrendered.
What was tragic was that the Scourge had no precedent of not killing after surrender. They directly killed Garin and turned him into an Undead with only a few pieces of flesh left on his face.
It was a pity that Garin was too weak. He couldn't even be a Death Knight, and directly became an ordinary zombie warrior.
Only Duque knew that in the future, this guy would be a Forsaken in the Arathi Highlands.
As soon as this news came out, there was an uproar within the Alliance.
Duque also sighed.
As the saying goes, leave a way out for others in the future. In the Alliance, after Duque's embellishment, it was announced that Garin had died in battle. After all, a dead King could inspire the survivors' will to resist the Scourge.
On the 12th of August, the main force of the Scarlet Cross landed on the northern coast of Lordaeron and the Whispering Coast, opening up the third and fourth escape routes.
At the same time, when the entire Arathi Highlands fell and was occupied by the Undead, even Magni had to let his third brother, Bu Laing Bronzebeard, guard the Sador Bridge to prevent the Scourge from invading the south, all the main force of the Scourge disappeared overnight.
"What? You didn't see Arthas, Antonidas, or any of the high-level Liches from the Church of the Curses? "Duque was shocked.
