There is a kind of fa in this world that goes "Although I'm not here, my legend is everywhere."
Although Duke was unable to return to Stormwind in ti, his heroic deeds had begun to spread far and wide through the mouths of other people who participated in the raid and the official bulletin of Stormwind.
Of course, the official version is beautified - the general content is that the guardian divh was ambushed by the demon king Sargeras and trapped. Then the leader of the Kingdom Knights, Sir Anduin Lothar, and Sir Edmund Duke raided Karazhan, which was once occupied by demons.
Finally, together with the rescued divh, they pushed the Demon King into the Abyss, and Duke made the final blow. In the process of killing the Demon King, the great guardian and chief court mage divh was unfortunately killed.
With the approval of King Llane Wrynn, the fiefdom of Karazhan was transferred to Sir Edmund Duke, who made outstanding contributions in this attack, and Sir Edmund was promoted to Viscount.
"Hey, have you heard? The Sea King Edmund Duke actually killed the demon Sargeras at such a young age!"
"I heard about it! He is really amazing! I thought he was amazing before. He has built such a big career on his own at such a young age. I didn't expect that he is good at business and magic as well!"
"More than amazing! He also predicted this war. Haven't you seen that the harpooneers he trained have now beco regular soldiers of the kingdom and enjoy the treatnt of privates? Oh my god, I recognize that kid Gorica. He was originally a small-ti fisherman. Now he has 8 orc-killing dals in his hands."
"Yes, I heard that it was not the regular army that killed the most orcs, but these harpooneers."
"They were all brought out by Sir Edmund."
People are simple-minded, and their impression of Duke has been distorted unconsciously. In the eyes of the ti travelers, this is a typical deviation. However, people are more concerned about things that are right in front of them, such as orcs.
People only know Duke from what they encounter in daily life, not from the exaggerated stories told in the tavern.
All they knew was that the only lifeline of the entire kingdom - the mariti lifeline - was maintained by Duke's fleet.
The ones who kill the most enemies now are the javelin throwers trained by Duke. Well, people selectively ignore the shield and sword soldiers who are bearing the orcs' attacks in front of them, and also forget that the javelin throwers make the kills in various safe fortresses.
And those small fortresses were also invented by Duke.
Then, it was Duke's fleet and the Naga warriors under Duke's command who risked their lives to enter the inland river in small boats to pick up the refugees and return to Stormwind City.
People are curious about these large but friendly male Naga warriors. Even though these Nagas do not have a good temper towards humans, saving a life is saving a life, and no matter how vicious the Nagas are, this fact cannot be changed.
Once in the river, no matter how strong the orcs are, they dare not say they can defeat a naga. The tribe has encountered this situation more than once: brave orc warriors rushed into shallow water that was not even knee-deep in order to chase and kill humans. However, the naga did not fight with the orcs at all, but directly waved its slender snake tail, wrapped around the orcs' legs, and dragged the orcs into the deep water to drown them alive.
All they got was the cheers of the refugees who arrived on the ship and the grim look of the orc commander.
No matter which one it is, the na Edmund Duke is present in all areas of people's lives.
For a ti, Duke beca even more famous than King Llane.
"It's Viscount Duke's proposal again. He hopes to organize javelin cavalry in the western wilderness. It doesn't require too much equipnt, just a horse and so javelin throwing training. Even a farr who can only ride a horse can complete the initial training in 10 days."
Llane looked at the report handed over by Makaro, who had beco Duke's almost full-power agent when he was away, and suddenly smiled. It was hard to tell whether it was a smile of appreciation or a bitter smile because Duke was too evil.
"In terms of war, Viscount Duke seems to have amazing foresight." Duke Bolvar Fettagen said in a way that would not irritate the nobles in the hall: "We must face up to a problem, that is, the loss of food. Although we can get food supplies from Alterac and Stromgarde, the humid sea water and various losses add up to one pound of wheat lost on the road for every two pounds. This is the result of our sailors trying every possible way to save it."
"Is that so..." A low commotion arose among the nobles.
The nobles, who were high and mighty, had never cared about these things. Only after they lost their territory and relied on Llane's protection did they begin to care about such matters.
Bolvar's voice rose. "But last year, soone spent a lot of money to organize rcenaries to wipe out most of the monsters in the West Wilderness. After losing 70% of the territory of Elwynn Forest, the West Wilderness has beco the largest mass production area in the entire kingdom. In the sumr grain harvest that just ended, after counting, the sumr grain in the West Wilderness this year is enough for the 500,000 refugees in Stormwind to survive the coming winter. And for every 100 pounds of grain shipped by sea from the West Wilderness, only five to six pounds of it was lost at most."
"Wow——" This ti the nobles shouted exaggeratedly.
At this ti, Llane stood up and said, "Okay, there is no need to vote on this proposal. I agree."
"Why do they always agree to Edmund' proposals?" A forr border earl among the nobles muttered in a neither loud nor soft voice.
Llane's eyes were stern. "I listened to it because it is right and beneficial to the kingdom and the people. If anyone has any opinions, they can make more reasonable and effective suggestions. I am here to listen. If a person's 100 suggestions are all correct, then I don't mind listening to all his 100 suggestions at once."
The nobles' complaints are actually based on the loss of power.
King Llane used his courage to suppress everything.
Llane's eyes were so clear and his face was so resolute. In the eyes of Lothar next to him, history overlapped surprisingly, and the slightly blurred vision outlined an old picture full of historical sense.
The picture shows the last descendant of Emperor Thoradin being abandoned in the desolate Stromgarde. Then he and his last supporters led the people through hardships and ca all the way to the south of the continent, to what is now Stormwind City, and established the Stormwind Kingdom almost from scratch.
Thousands of years had passed, and many nobles had beco corrupt. Lothar was extrely grateful that when the glorious impression of his predecessor was about to fade away forever, at a ti of national crisis, the majestic figure of a young king overlapped with the figure of his predecessor.
Llane Wrynn, a wise and great king. It is because of him that Stormwind Kingdom still stands.
While he was deep in thought, the sound in the eting room seed to be drained away.
For so unknown reason, Garona, who was explaining the strength of the tribe to the nobles and King Llane based on the scouts' report, suddenly showed her dagger...
