1779 Werewolf Isn't He?
If it had been the haughty, withdrawn, and self-righteous Jean he had before, he would have walked away.
People actually change over time.
What's more, Gilneth has left the alliance since the Dark Gate for 5 years, and such a long time has made Jean's mentality and temperament change a lot.
Knowing that this was likely to be Duke's temptation, Jean didn't dare to bet.
Gilneth has long had no capital to bargain with the Alliance, and to put it mildly, Gilneth is now a forgotten country, a dispensable pebble on the side of the road.
Although Jean had been wary of and rejected the infiltration of the Alliance for many years, and although this practice had worked well 15 years before the Dark Gate, the prosperity and strength of the Alliance was displayed almost daily in front of the Gilnes with the rise of Duke to power.
Especially after the town of Nanhai was built into Nanhai City, the reconstruction of Alterac, and the construction of the Beiliu and Nanliu coasts as the import and export terminals of Lordaeron, from the towering cliffs of Gilneys, countless ships can be seen passing by the sea day and night.
On the map, Nanhai Castle is located near the junction of two continents in a depression. For the sake of navigation safety, Duke specially defined the shipping route. Merchant ships and warships sailed from the southern Baladine Gulf to the South Seas, and then sailed along the northern shore around the Hillsbrad Hills and south of Gilneis.
To facilitate boat navigation at night, there are shore lighthouses every three kilometers along the entire coast, with the exception of Gilneth. On the high seas off the territory of Gilneth, Duke used a large number of fishmen to build lighthouses to facilitate the helmsman of the ship.
During the day, the ship is directly visible, and at night there is an endless stream of bow and stern lights.
At first, Jean thought it was a deliberate demonstration by the Alliance, but he soon discovered that the Alliance's maritime trade was really so prosperous. For he could clearly tell by the flags hoisted on the ship which ones belonged to the Stormwind Kingdom, which belonged to Kurtiras, Alterac, and occasionally Dalaran and Ironforge.
Recently, even the long-lost banner of the Kingdom of Stormgard from Fort Riptide can be seen.
On the other side of the South Stream Coast, these are plus Lordaeron's.
If these ships symbolize the prosperity of the Alliance, then the occasional flying battleship of the Alliance declares the strength of the Alliance to the world.
After the restoration of Stormgard, because Danas was really good, the martial people of Fort Rapids never spared their lives and fought on all fronts.
Duke raised Stormgard's treatment and docked the Alliance's newly built Fourth Fleet next to Fort Riptide. This is not a political threat, but a gesture.
Because the members of this fleet are basically Riptide Castles, and the Alliance has built a new spare parts production center there, using the minerals of the Arathi Heights to produce and maintain the flying ships on the spot. And it is the alliance that gives the money.
Every member of the alliance adheres to the principle of having money to contribute and make a strong contribution. As a newly restored nation, Stormgard's membership fee for the next 10 years is a symbolic gold coin per year.
The Alliance pays the Fourth Fleet millions of gold dollars a year for maintenance.
This industrial system, created in response to the geographical advantages of the Kingdom of Stormgard, greatly contributed to the local economy. Almost everyone in Fort Riptide can feel the sincerity from the Alliance, and the centripetal force towards the Alliance is higher.
At the moment when Gilneth was in a desperate situation, Jean ordered his scouts to secretly gather information about the Alliance, and the first thing he knew was how prosperous Alterac was in close proximity, and how the Stormgards, who were still rolling in the ruins a few years ago, had risen in such a short period of time.
Frankly, he was envious.
But Gilneth and him are in a rather awkward position.
The Alliance can ignore Gilneis, and if it angers the Alliance, maybe the Alliance can slaughter the Werewolf Gilneth as monsters.
This is even more true of Jean himself.
It stands to reason that he is definitely an old qualification in the league. Of the seven human kings at the time of the Alliance's founding, Terenus, Antonidas, Aiden Pirenod, Solas Torbain, Ryan Ureon, and Daelyn Prodmore all hung up for various reasons.
There is also Anduin Lothar, who is the commander-in-chief.
Without Duke, he would be the only original patriarch who wanted to join the alliance again. This can be described as an absolute taboo in politics.
You are more qualified than the current boss of the alliance, you are here, where is the boss's face?
Luckily, there's a Duke.
Back then, Duke, who was too young, was the deputy commander of the Alliance! It stands to reason that he was just a 'general.'
Originally, in history, it was a last resort to find Malfurion as an intermediary. It's not that troublesome in this life, and he thinks that he still knows Duke better.
Jean has no problem with Duke saying 'the league has a choice'.
He said in a tone that bordered on grovel: "Yes! The Alliance has a choice. But have you ever thought about Marcus, and the Alliance needs a melee class?"
"Oh?" Duke's got interested.
Looks like Jean has done his homework on the sleek.
"I don't think you can deny that even if the Alliance has developed to the point where it now has terrifying artillery, the pros can still ignore the power of artillery to a certain extent, right?" said Jean carefully.
"Well, go on. Duke nodded.
Jean secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "The alliance is seriously lacking in warrior professionals. Elves and gnomes forget it, they are not suitable physically. Originally, the dwarves and draenei were very suitable, but the number of dwarves and draenei was not very large. The humans with the largest population base are the most suitable, but unfortunately, compared to the orcs and minotaurs, the human physique is still more than one grade worse, and even the trolls can't compare. ”
Seeing that Duke did not object, Jean made a recommendation: "Many Gilneys have also become werewolves because they have been bitten by werewolves. But they can control themselves well and not fall into madness and out of control. These human-turned-werewolves are quite suitable for warriors. Whether it's a quick assault or a head-to-head duel, werewolves have faster speed, better physique, and stronger vitality than humans. Many injuries that are fatal to humans are not a problem with werewolves. ”
Speaking of this, Jean's voice lowered: "As long as humans don't hate or fear werewolves, I think werewolves will be a good addition to the alliance." ”
With that, he looked at Duke, stared at Duke's mouth with expectant eyes, and swallowed his saliva, ready to listen to the words that came out of Duke's mouth, which were tantamount to the outcome of the trial.
Duke smiled, "Werewolf, right? ”
