Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 150: Elwynn Forest

After getting the affirmative look from Llane and Duke, VanCleef took a deep breath and said, "To be honest, Lord Duke doesn't have much 'cement' left. One of the important materials of 'cement' comes from the Un'Goro Crater. We used Lord Duke's funds to collect it before, and only bought about 100 tons from the venture capital company of the goblins in Stranglethorn Vale. This has already bought out all their stocks. The remaining materials are only enough to make 30 trebuchet towers or 80 arrow towers, and... it will take at least 10 days."

Don't think that nobles are all very knowledgeable, cultured, well-mannered and noble-minded people. Apart from the appearance of strict etiquette training and the skills of reading and writing, the nobles of this era are no different from most ordinary people.

The nobles, whose geographical knowledge was limited to the southern part of the continent, had no idea that the Un'Gorowas on the other side of the sea, in a distant place on another continent.

"Waste! In 10 days, all the Stormwind warriors would have been killed!" A duke on the opposite side slammed the table and stood up. His angry voice almost scared VanCleef.

VanCleef was not the daring VanCleef who was forced into a desperate situation in later generations. At this moment, he was just a follower of Duke who was a stonemason. He didn't even have the chance to confirm how much trust and support Duke had for him. He was completely forced to do something.

The Duke had never expected that Duke would go against him for VanCleef, a "dog" of humble origin.

He slammed the table, and Duke slammed it even louder.

With a "bang", almost all the royal guards thought that the enemy was attacking. Every guard put his hand on the hilt of the sword, and only when they saw clearly that it was Duke who slammed the table did they secretly let go of their hands again.

"You are a loser. You don't even know that Un'Goro Crater is on the other side of the sea, yet you're talking nonsense to my people. If there really was so much 'cement', I would have raised the walls of Stormwind to 200 feet high. The orcs wouldn't be able to fly in, let alone climb in."

Duke was telling the truth. In this world without modern industry, it was too difficult to make real cement. The only cement that could be made was cement made from volcanic ash. That was why he set his sights on Un'Goro Crater and asked VanCleef to collect a large amount of materials through various channels.

The truth is what hurts the most!

"****!" Duke was obviously cursing, but many people were amused by his counterargument. This kind of scolding of ignorance, which was also a hit, caused laughter, which made the Duke even more embarrassed.

Another duke stood up and said, "Well, I would like to ask Sir Lothar, how long can you hold out with these arrow towers?"

Lothar raised a finger and said, "The limit is one month. And again, the troops responsible for the rearguard action will not be able to survive."

"Okay, let's go back to the original question..."

"No, not back to square one." Duke interrupted the duke: "It's just 10 days. I will fight for this time."

Duke patted VanCleef on the shoulder and said, "Just let your people do their job."

For some reason, VanCleef felt like crying. In his impression, the nobles always protected each other and were in collusion with each other.

'Nothing can't be solved by exchanging interests', this is a famous saying among the nobles. VanCleef had a moment just now thinking that the Duke, who was an earl, would not stand up for a little man of humble origin like him. He was a duke!

Duke didn't feel anything, but VanCleef didn't. VanCleef, whose ancestors had been making a living in Stormwind City for generations, had a natural fear of high-ranking nobles.

Who knew that Duke not only spoke, but also choked the other party to death.

Suddenly, VanCleef had the urge to die for Duke. Now Duke not only took all the responsibility on himself, but also protected him. Tears welled up in VanCleef's eyes.

Not many people cared about the emotions of the small man VanCleef, and everyone focused on what Duke said.

"Ten days? Are you really sure? The sand in the hourglass is more valuable than gold. We are racing against death now!" King Llane kindly reminded Duke.

"Oh, thank God, if you can do it, Duke, that would be a great help." Lothar, who has worked with Duke more, has become almost blindly optimistic. He doesn't know how Duke can do it, but he believes that Duke will not talk nonsense based on his understanding of Duke.

Llane looked at the agitated nobles and frowned: "What are you going to do?"

The second duke was obviously targeting Duke: "Whether it is for comfort or for any other reason, lies are meaningless in front of His Majesty's throne. Now we are discussing the life and death of nearly half of the soldiers and civilians of the Stormwind. We cannot allow a kid like you to talk nonsense."

He is the king, and if necessary, he can force the Duke's proposal through on his own will, but before that, it would be best if he could convince everyone.

Duke stretched out, leaning back on the comfortable bench, and interlaced his fingers over his stomach.

"It seems that your people have different ideas from you. Last night, your housekeeper found my subordinate Makaro and said that he wanted to allocate two more ships to transport treasures for your family. Haha, if you don't trust me so much, why did you find my subordinates?"

Everyone knew that Duke was forcing two things together. Believing that Duke could hold off the orcs for ten days was completely different from believing in Duke's fleet.

But Duke's political IQ is either zero, or Duke is doing it on purpose. Tell Llane at this time that it is these parasites who are asking to disregard the lives of Llane's most cherished citizens and to free up precious space to transport treasures.

Almost at the same time, upright senior officials such as Llane, Lothar, and Bolvar all looked gloomy.

"Uh, oh, is there such a thing!? Impossible!" The duke denied it immediately, but he obviously realized that he could not fool around. "I have been busy with military affairs recently. Maybe it is true. If it is true, I will definitely punish the butler for doing such a dirty thing in the name of our nobility. Uh, Count Edmund, don't change the subject. Whether you can delay for 10 days is related to the survival of the entire kingdom."

The poor butler would most likely become a scapegoat. After all, beating him up would be a slap in his face. Duke didn't care. He already had his own ideas about the nobles of Stormwind.

Of course, the topic returns to the most concerned issue of the 10th.

"It's simple. Since the Elwynn Forest has been occupied by those greenskins, I will just burn down half of the forest."

The moment Duke finished speaking, the whole place was dead silent, and everyone took a deep breath.

Duke is really brave!
