Chapter 1092: Times Are Changing
Edwin slapped his head in remorse. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info This is simply in his face, after all, he is responsible for the intelligence work of the entire Marcus family.
"I don't blame you, after all, Anresto and Presto are very different in pronunciation and spelling. "Duke is not, after all, the lingua franca of the world of Azeroth is not English. It's also a phonics system, but the letters, spellings, and pronunciations are not the same thing.
Wendthor sighed, "I'm still thinking about how to send troops over if something happens to Stormwind...... But it's a dragon! Mortal force is meaningless. ”
"Reggie, your main force can't move, and soon the Blackstone Orcs will run out of the Burning Plains and make a fuss. Those guys are in your hands. ”
"No problem. Wendsol slapped his chest, his eyes full of war. At 38 years old, he is at the best age for a man. His martial arts skills have not yet declined, but after experiencing three battles of the Dark Gate in one go, he is definitely the best among commanders.
Duke smiled: "Reggie, fight this battle as the general of the Stormwind Kingdom, and you will get what you want." ”
Wendsol's eyes lit up frighteningly. Of course he knew what Duke was talking about - the Marshal's Scepter!
A marshal who is less than forty years old is enough to make him crazy with excitement just thinking about it!
"Isn't it just to clean up the Blackstone Orcs? ”
Twenty years ago, Duke couldn't have put his mind at ease, but after a lot of experience, Windsol can be trusted.
Here, Edwin brought the topic back again: "Who is here this time? Mother, is it Onexia?"
"Guessed right, it's a pity that there is no prize!"
"What are we going to do?, while she's still in human form, ...... directly," Vanessa made a throat-slitting motion.
Duke laughed, "Don't be funny! only when you cut it with a dagger will you realize that her seemingly delicate neck is actually three feet thick." ”
"Cut, are all dragons monsters?" Vanessa was indignant.
It can't be explained by science that a giant dragon with tons as a weight unit will turn into a delicate woman of less than 100 catties after using the [Ultimate Transfiguration]. What else can Duke say about the rules of such a fantastical world?
Solanlian interjected: "So what are we going to do? Just wait? It doesn't feel like it's very consistent...... Your character, host. ”
Solan Lian hadn't fully transformed yet, after all, the actual time she had spent with Duke was still a bit short.
Duke didn't care.
He dragged his chin with his left hand, rested his elbow on his knee, and tapped his right index finger on the blue-dyed velvet cushion, nodded rhythmically ten times or so, and smiled.
"Solan Lian, you're right, although waiting is in line with my status, but the status of a mortal is really meaningless for a dragon. Speaking of this, Duke had a wicked smile on his face: "However, since such a big dragon doesn't play violence with us, but comes to the human world to play with conspiracy and politics, and it is not good to play with her, wouldn't it be too rude for us to be the masters?"
Vanessa pouted, "Dear master, are you sure that Elune, the goddess of the moon, has cleared you of all your evil powers?"
"Hell, master work, don't talk too much as you are a maid!" Edwin really couldn't stand his daughter, and after reprimanding his daughter a few words, he immediately turned to Duke and said, "Master, you spoil Vanessa so much that she almost forgets her duty as a maid. ”
Duke shrugged.
"Yes, my lord, do you intend to destroy the entire noble class?" Wendthor suddenly asked, "After all, every knight apprentice is taught how to serve his lord at an early age, and only by making immortal merits will he be allowed to enter the noble class and become a human being. If our lord does this, with our combat power and power, we should succeed, but I am afraid that the next turmoil will be indispensable, and who will rule the country in the future? Or do you want to change the kingdom of Stormwind to a parliamentary system like Dalaran, or will there be a monarchical parliamentary system like the one in Quel'Salas?"
"Alas!" Duke sighed.
Is that really the case?
This is the inevitable limitation of people in this era. Due to the underdevelopment of productivity and poor transportation, the human kingdom of Azeroth when Duke crossed was generally similar to the vassal system of the European Middle Ages.
Quite simply, it will most likely take more than a month to convey an order to go to the most marginal territory. The scope of the king's power was often limited to the field of vision, and he could not control the area beyond three days' distance, so he had to give his vassals great autonomy, and each lord was actually a soil emperor.
But Duke spent twenty years single-handedly promoting the mechanized revolution with the steam engine as the core, and almost paved the entire territory of the Storm Kingdom. It doesn't take even a week to get to even the most remote territories from Stormwind.
The road is passed, the financial pass is passed, and the government decree is passed.
In this case, maintaining a more primitive system of sub-enclosure actually hinders the development of the whole society.
For example, this time, the black dragon princess Onexia provoked a little, and those brainless nobles who were carried away by the huge profits couldn't wait to jump out, nominally raising taxes, but in fact forcing the palace to demand greater power, otherwise they would be threatened by abolishing railway transportation.
This situation is worse than the history of Onexia instigating the Brotherhood of Stonemasons to demand unpaid wages from the Stormwind nobles for the construction of Stormwind City and start a rebellion.
That time, in the final analysis, it was the storm nobles who built the city and did not pay for it, which was a typical migrant worker to recover arrears of wages.
Of course, there is a reason why Onexia deceived the backbone of the Brotherhood of Stonemasons. Let them falsify accounts without authorization, and raise the cost to ask the Storm Nobles for money. The problem is that the nobles at that time were also bitter, and their pockets were so poor that they took it for granted.
Under the provocation of the Black Dragon Princess, the stonemasons rioted. The mole she arranged also stoned Varian's queen Tiffin to death.
Knowing that he was wronged by Varian, he still had great tolerance and exiled the stonemasons instead of massacre, which led to the later Brotherhood of Defia.
In this life, because of the power of Duke. The Storm Kingdom is extremely rich in materials, and the people are full of happiness. It was difficult to stir up contradictions between the people and the aristocracy, which is why the aristocracy fought for power with Bolval.
Who would have thought that Duke would return at a critical moment.
Duke didn't want to cause much confusion either, but since Onexia had made a start, he had no choice but to carry out the reforms.
