Chapter 1380 Face Project
He started out as a civilian, and was just a small militia captain at first. He became famous during the battles of the Sador Bridge and the counterattack on the wetlands. Later, he was willing to be lonely and gave up returning to fight for power in the country. He guarded the Dark Portal for mankind for more than ten years, and finally changed his mind. It's a one-stop battle into Draenor.
No matter how you look at it, Danath Trollbane is the great hero who truly inherited the title of Trollbane (Troll Slayer)!
Even if he regained contact with the outside world, Danas personally refused to be crowned king, declaring that he was "only willing to fight for humanity and the Alliance."
That's right, one of the most important reasons for Danas's refusal to return to the throne was that he had no reason to abandon the Outland Expeditionary Force, become a coward and deserter, and come back to enjoy the blessings of being a king.
This reason instead aroused public enthusiasm.
As a result, the so-called highland royalists who shouted to make Danas a hero appeared. They are Stormgardians wandering across Azeroth. During this expedition to the outer lands, they gathered together, joined the expeditionary force, and chanted slogans.
"Fight for the true king of Stromgard!"
"Destroy the Outlands! Let our king return to Stromgarde as a victor!"
The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny.
Even though the proportion of professionals among Stromgardians is high, the absolute number is too small. After expelling the guys who obviously had no military training, only more than a thousand people were approved to join the Outland Expeditionary Force. Moreover, the professional mix is obviously unreasonable - there are many melee fighters and few long-range ones. There are barely a few priests, but there are no mages.
This is normal. Master is a profession that requires money to support.
The people of Stromgard, whose country was ruined and their family was ruined, and who lived a homeless life, had no time to cultivate their own mages. Even those with talent sold themselves to Dalaran and became part of the Dalaran mage group. Don't even think about returning until the contract is complete.
It just so happened that when Stromgarde was destroyed and the Stromgardians had no way out, it was Jaina, the current princess of Kul Tiras, who opened up Theramore and took in a large number of Stromgarde and people who had lost their homes. People of Lordaeron.
Therefore, they have an almost blind affinity with Mark Dooku, who claims to be the mage of Kul Tiras.
Mark, controlled by Duke, did not disappoint them. Although he was not particularly strong, his skillful spellcasting and accurate attacks effectively knocked over several demon guards who were rushing towards him. He even used a technique that few mages have mastered. The quagmire technique trapped a hellhound with extremely high magic resistance, allowing everyone to gather a small team of spearmen to directly stab the hellhound to death in the quagmire.
"Hahaha! You are worthy of being a strong man who has experienced the Battle of Mount Hyjal." Thomas smiled happily: "Mark! Please forgive me, are you alone? If you don't have a team, can you form a team with us? , even if it is temporary, the conditions are easy to negotiate. If there is a mage in our team, we can receive more advanced alliance tasks from the Alliance Military Affairs Office. Because this is related to Stromgard's rating."
Scoring, and then judging by points and rewards, is a policy promoted by Duke after the third war at the Dark Portal.
"Any meritorious service must be rewarded, and any wrongdoing must be punished. The Alliance has never been a monopoly organization composed of a few big countries. Even if it is weak, people from other countries and independent organizations can also make their contribution to the cause of fighting evil. "These are Duke's exact words.
In order not to dampen the enthusiasm of other small countries, independent organizations and groups, the alliance will allocate an additional share of the spoils of each battle to organizations and individuals who perform well in the battle.
Not only the spoils of war, but also the support rewards from the alliance itself, this is what each small country values most.
If organizations or individuals from various small countries work together to obtain enough points, the alliance can even tilt policies and allocate manpower and material resources to help them realize their aspirations for revival.
For example, there is an organization with a certain amount of points that hopes to revive a village somewhere in the Arathi Highlands. The alliance will send a dedicated person to conduct the evaluation and give a score afterwards. As long as someone is willing to give enough points to support this plan, once the points are reached, the alliance will send a large number of craftsmen to rebuild the village.
Make roads when encountering mountains and build bridges when encountering water.
The last person to receive special support from the Alliance was the Wildhammer dwarves of Eagle's Nest Mountain. Because they had enough points, Duke directly allocated public funds to cover the cost of the entire [Lightning] tank division in Ironforge, allowing them to Drive the tanks into the Hinterlands.
Using steam tanks and various modern machinery, a new defense line more than three kilometers wide was built along Lake Varowen in the central Hinterlands. With this line of defense, those scattered trolls that have not been killed can no longer expect to sneak close to Eagle's Nest Mountain.
This makes the actual territory controlled by the Wildhammer dwarves at least twice as large.
That's right! This is the alliance's welfare policy to support weak countries.
While greatly enhancing the centripetal force of the alliance's countries and organizations, it also takes the alliance's prestige to a higher level.
This time, Duke also clearly set a price for Stromgaard’s return to the country—a starting price of two million points.
As long as any organization or individual collects two million points and injects them into the Kingdom of Stromgard project through transactions and other means. The Alliance will fund the reconstruction of the crumbling Thoradin's Wall and Thador's Bridge Pass, as well as the entire city of Stromgarde.
The reconstruction project of Stromgarde includes outer city walls, residential areas, and a royal palace that is as good as Stormwind Keep.
If you want to raise the bar in this project, yes, please give more points. From increasing the number of city walls, improving the quality of the city walls, to building train tracks from Stromgarde to Nanhai Town, to turning residential areas into villas, there are a wide variety of choices.
Seeing that Stromgaard was so excited, he wished he could have his whole family on the spot and earn two million points first.
It's a pity that dreams are beautiful, but reality is very difficult.
Although the alliance also has a clear price tag for obtaining points. For example, a Demon Guard is worth 10 points, but it is still far away from 2 million points!
So they must win over all the allies they can.
Facing Thomas' invitation, Duke smiled: "I am a wandering mage, and I have also tasted the destruction of my motherland. Although Kul Tiras has been rebuilt, I will not forget that the Stromgardians were with me. The days of fighting side by side with Theramore. Okay, I agree."
"Grateful."
At this moment, in Karazhan, Jaina looked at Duke in surprise: "Hey, my dear, what on earth do you want to do? You've gone to great lengths to ask me to give you a Kul Tiras ID... character. , just to help Stromgard recover his country?”
Duke smiled evilly: "Stormstorm has to be rebuilt no matter what. This is about the face of the alliance."
"Weren't several kingdoms rebuilt before?"
"That's right! The problem is that the queens of these countries have obeyed me! Now I want to make it look like the alliance is not mine."
