Stormwind God

Chapter 62: The clouds of war

The sense of crisis in Duke's mind never disappeared. Because it is difficult to describe, what kind of situation Medivh is now.

When Medivh had control of his own mind, he was a kind and wise man. He dedicated himself to guarding several human supreme leaders and determined that the interests of the kingdom would always prevail.

For so many years, he guarded the world of Azeroth, disintegrating the fierce attacks of the invaders, and the people regarded him as the indestructible protector of the land of Azeroth.

He treats all races equally, without any narrow prejudice. When hearing the legends and customs of a certain race, no matter what race the narrator came from, he sincerely respected each other and showed the same keen interest in these legends and cultures from different regions.

However, once Sargeras has the upper hand, Medivh's personality will change dramatically.

‘He’ will become gloomy and lonely, almost completely unable to recognize his closest friends, and completely indifferent to strangers.

‘He’ behaves secretly, and often suddenly travels alone.

When nobody was around, Sargeras-controlled Medivh would use the spell without hesitation to drive away his visitors or simply kill him.

But for the plan of 'He', the identity of the detached guardian of Azeroth is really a very important cover, so in public, 'He' is still careful enough to not easily expose Sargeras' true character.

Under the influence of Sargeras, Medivh began to secretly study all kinds of evil magic and witchcraft, and built an identical underground tower under Karazhan as the place where he performed dark rituals.

And all of this is unknown to Duke.

All he can do is his own field.

He himself was blasting the sky mage. And his three loyal subordinates are preparing for war in an orderly manner according to his instructions.

Macaroo almost became Duke's external plenipotentiary. He was granted great gold coin calling rights. Almost all of Macaro's donations to the Storm Kingdom Navy donations.

Windsor helped Duke train the sailors. Throwing javelins and manipulating the crossbow was a required course for sailors. On the water surface next to the main channel of the storm port, trainee sailors sat on small sampans all day and practiced throwing javelins at the target ship filled with straw.

According to Duke's standards, a javelin must hit more than 80% of a humanoid target at a distance of 30 meters before it can be hired as an official sailor of the whaling team.

As for the crossbow gunner, he must hit the target ship at a distance of 100 meters to qualify.

This is undoubtedly demanding for the children of fishermen who have never touched this field. But the high salary attracted them to cut their heads and squeeze into Duke's whaling fleet.

Neptune Duke has a good reputation. Because of those unpleasant whale parts, Duke ordered that they were marinated with spices such as **** and sold to civilians at a low price. The low price made whale meat affordable to most poor people who could only eat black bread.

Not too fishy whale meat has become one of the main food items in the slums of Stormwind.

Improving food was something that was previously out of reach for the poor, which in turn stimulated more civilians to hope to enter Duke's whaling fleet.

With sufficient financial support, Storm City, which has never lacked labor, launched three major projects at the same time:

The first is to build a huge stone civil wharf. The long wharf is 30 meters wide and the farthest point is 100 meters long from the shore. The overall shape approximates a huge 'Wang' shape. There are five such docks, which can accommodate more than sixty medium-sized vessels docking at the same time.

The second is the expansion of the Stormwind military harbor. Considering the invasion of foreign enemies, the military harbor has been built into a haven. The outermost circle has two huge sluice gates.

The third is the shipyard. The huge shipyard can build three large ships of nearly 50 meters at the same time.

These three projects are the fastest to get the terminal.

The dumping of stones into the sea, piling, and fixing the foundation stones of the pier were all extremely time-consuming and laborious. However, a miracle occurred. Every evening, after the workers had finished their work, the next morning they would find that the wooden piles had penetrated into the stony seabed at the bottom of the beach.

Even the guy who fluttered at night reported to the city guard that recently, there seemed to be large creatures underwater in the storm port at night.

However, the guard did not receive even one casualty report.

Once, a drunkard stumbled into the sea in the middle of the night and was sent to the beach by the sea at low tide. Well, it was the kind that suddenly flew out of the sea, drawn a parabola in mid-air, and then landed like a muddy mouth on the beach.

The two old sailors looked awful, and then Windsor ran away to advise him, even omitting the report to the city guard.

However, Lothar called Duke once.

"Stormwind never refuses friendly aliens, Mr. Duke Marcus, are you sure you don't need to add some Naga names to your list of employees?"

"Sir, I don't think it is necessary for the time being," Duke replied humblely.

"Actually, I always have a hunch that you want more than money and reputation." Lothar said peacefully.

"What I want will not harm Stormwind's interests. Instead, we should be one. Time will prove everything." Duke replied calmly.

Lothar sighed: "Well, it seems that you have a unique perspective on maritime affairs. You are more proficient than me, a dry duck. The plan of the harbor you handed in, all my captains thought it was perfect . I will leave it to you for the design of the civilian harbour. We are also willing to listen to your opinions on the part of the military harbour. "

In this way, as the designer of the new storm port, Duke gained greater autonomy.

First, Duke prescribed a direction of travel, and the entire port, whether it was cargo or not, had to go clockwise. This avoids confusion, and in that case it will be the same.

Between the military port and the civilian port, Duke intimately suggested that for the militarization and confidentiality of the military port, a moat should be constructed to separate the civil port, in addition to a large number of antler defenses and tall walls.

To the south of the military port is the civilian port, and all warehouses are set up between the military port and the civilian port. Duke intentionally or unintentionally left a huge channel that could accommodate hundreds of people in parallel.

Beside the warehouse, there is a 50-meter isolation belt, and then the walls of Stormwind City. Inside the walls, there is a new fish market.

Three months have passed since all this was done.

Suddenly, a new news came, and at the upcoming New Year's banquet, Medivh, who came back suddenly, would attend.
