Chapter 99 As Long as the Winning Rate Is Not Zero
Duke is not the type to take risks.
It's like betting your life or something, Duke won't do it.
But gambling with one's life becomes a gambling of integrity, which has a different meaning.
In fact, when the will of Sargeras descended on the Chamber of Stormwind Keep, Duke's system prompt had these lines:
"A major human (morality) choice event - in the eyes of the demon king Sargeras, you are just a slightly interesting ant. But you who are familiar with 'history' realize that this may be an opportunity to change your destiny .If you are really lucky, you can push Sargeras into a desperate situation and save him when the Demon King is about to fail. The system judges that you have an 87% chance to transform yourself into a powerful demons, became one of the commanders of the Burning Legion."
"Of course, if you can help Anduin Lothar successfully kill Medivh and let Sargeras go back to the abyss, then you will undoubtedly become the hero of the entire Azeroth world. According to the calculations of the system elves, you have 99.999% chance to fill up all the missing integrity and soul power. Completely get rid of all kinds of negative soul states that may appear."
The system did not say what would happen if he failed to challenge Medivh. But Duke can also guess. Dying on the fangs of a wild boar and dying in front of the demon king are completely different concepts. Just like the knights who died in the Scourge in later generations, they were often transformed into death knights. In the hands of Sargeras, my soul is really...hehehe.
Duke has always considered himself a mortal. He neither has the spirit of the Virgin to save the world, nor does he have the violent tendency to commit crimes and destroy the world.
Now that he has crossed over, he has also begun to adapt to this world.
'There was a battle between the Martians and the Death Stars, and many people died on both sides' and 'the relatives and friends around you fought the violent and evil orcs, and many of your relatives and friends died', these are completely two concepts.
Not to mention people, even if the cat or dog who had been raised for a long time died, I would feel heartbroken.
So, even if the history of Azeroth has been changed beyond imagination, especially from 'Assault on Karazhan' to 'Assault on Karazhan', plus Khadgar, who was supposed to be the winner, has died However, Duke still couldn't bear to watch Lothar go to Karazhan to die alone.
No, it should be said that from the moment Sargeras descended arrogantly in the meeting hall, Duke seemed to be struck by a lightning bolt of fate, and looked at Sargeras as if he was possessed.
No matter what, Duke has already been involved too deeply with the Stormwind Kingdom, and even the entire world of Azeroth. What's more, Duke is absolutely unwilling to see the Burning Legion go sideways.
Duke said silently in his heart: Khadgar! I'll fill in your part.
Lothar didn't know what Duke was thinking. On the contrary, after hearing Duke's statement that the success rate does not exceed 20%, Lothar's face showed joy.
"That's Sargeras, as long as the winning percentage is not zero, I'm already very happy." He slapped Duke on the shoulder with a powerful palm: "Young man, it's not bad, you actually thought of going with me. I I feel more and more that it is a wise decision to bring you. At least you are much more reliable than those court mages. Seeing them, I always feel that these rigid and dogmatic guys will stand still stupidly, compete with Medivh in spells, and then be tortured to death one by one. "
Duke smiled and said nothing. He knew that Lothar's words were a joke. Of course, the most important thing is that on the frontal battlefield, the Stormwind Kingdom has fallen into a comprehensive disadvantage in magic warfare.
Orc warlocks were more terrifying than Duke had imagined.
There's a lot that Duke can't divulge too much. This caused the Storm King's mage group to suffer a great loss when fighting against these warlocks they had never seen before. In a sense, warlocks with weirder methods and more energy consumption are the nemesis of mages. The appearance of the Cerberus, which specializes in the legal system, made the scalps of the mages of the royal mage group even more numb.
Due to the death of one of the only two morning star mages in the Stormwind Kingdom, the strongest old court mage around Ryan, the Stormwind Kingdom is even more manpower-stretched.
But mages are necessary, without mages in charge, once the enemy warlocks make a move, even if they use [fear] to get rid of the officers in the human army, the entire front will collapse.
It's a vicious cycle.
In any face-to-face confrontation, without a mage, the army formation is easily defeated.
With a mage, when the mage loses in the spell battle, or dies or flees, when the orc warlock has nothing to do, he will still be defeated. In the entire Elwynn Forest, blocking and chasing battles are being staged everywhere. It can be said that human beings are retreating steadily.
An atmosphere of sadness and despair permeated the entire Stormwind Kingdom.
However, under such circumstances, Lothar attacked with his elite.
It's not that Duke has never asked how these soldiers feel when faced with such an almost certain death mission.
Got only one answer.
"For Azeroth."
Duke saw the smile and saw the hearts that died generously for the country and the people.
Their voice echoed in Duke's chest, and even in the sky of the entire human kingdom.
It seemed as if the lingering sound lingered in the beam, echoing in Duke's ear over and over again.
It is not an oath, but it is more beautiful and firmer than any oath in this world. Duke only felt that his blood was ignited by some kind of passionate flame, which was extremely hot.
Facing Lothar's winning theory, Duke suddenly clapped his hands and said loudly: "Please come here for those who don't have a mission, I have something to announce."
Lothar was a little curious, he didn't stop Duke, and nodded slightly.
Immediately, several adjutants waved, and these elite knights quickly surrounded them.
Duke stood on a big rock so that most people could see himself: "What you are going to face is also a group of opponents beyond your imagination - demons! So, I hope you will do the first thing Just forget the military rules Lothar taught you, and learn what it means to be flexible."
Duke's words caused a silent commotion, and almost all soldiers turned their attention to Lothar.
Lothar smiled instead of anger: "Continue, apart from loyalty and skill, the soldiers I selected are the most flexible in mind. As long as it helps the victory, I don't mind you challenging the military rules I set this time."
Duke nodded and continued: "The enemies you are going to face are far stronger than you and possess mysterious powers that you can't imagine. A well-organized military formation is synonymous with food delivery. Forget about your formations and military tactics. Things in the manual. Avoid all the energy bodies that look cool, and see the opportunity to stab the sword into the opponent's back or everything that looks like the opponent's core.
