Stormwind Wizard God-Chapter 574: Valentines

At the same time, widespread freezing to death occurred throughout Lordaeron.

Except for the Tirisfal Forest area and the holy city of Stratholme, most of the maps in Lordaeron have been ravaged by the orcs. Silverpine Forest was burned to ashes by the fire tactics, and the eastern region (later known as the Eastern and Western Plaguelands) was ravaged by the orcs before they attacked Quel'Thalas, leaving almost no town intact.

The people could only shiver together in dilapidated houses, lacking food and clothing.

According to the latest statistics, the number of people who died this winter is at least hundreds of thousands.

After hearing the news, King Thoras of Stromgradee suddenly felt extremely fortunate. He had also heard of Duke's method of building houses in a template-like manner, but unfortunately the people of Stromgarde were unprepared and could not use it.

Duke gave him a suggestion - prohibiting people from returning to Arathi Highlands before spring. A large number of people were placed in the former Stormwind refugee camp in Hillsbrad Foothills.

Here, at least there are almost perfect accommodation conditions, as well as food reserves that the Stormwind cannot take away.

It was called reserves, but in fact, they were all war reserves that the Barov family had hidden in secret places over the years. The Barov family was forced by Terenas to leave the territory, but many things could not be taken away. Since the Barov family was determined to get along with Duke, the right to dispose of this batch of grain naturally fell into Duke's hands.

Duke did a favor and gave it to the people of Stromgarde.

Looking south from Southshore, King Thoras's cloak fluttered in the cold wind. He suddenly shouted, "Duke - we, the people of Stromgradee, will always remember this favor! We will never forget it for generations!"

Behind him, hundreds of Stormwind warriors shouted in unison:

"Remember it forever - and never forget it for generations -"

On February 15, standing on a peak in the Red Ridge Mountains, Llane suddenly asked, "By the way, what is Duke doing now?"

"Teaching students. I heard he made the little princess of Kul Tiras vomit." Anduin shrugged.

"So fast?" Not only Llane, but also several ministers around him were burning with gossip.

"No, it's because she saw blood for the first time," Anduin corrected.

"Of course there will be blood the first time." Llane had an expression that said 'we understand'.

Only the young Prince Varian was confused. He looked left and right, not knowing what these mysterious adults were talking about.

"It's not what you think." Anduin realized that he had inadvertently made things worse. His face turned green and he had to roar: "Go find out for yourselves. I won't take care of this shit anymore."

At this, Llane and the ministers were stunned.

Duke, what the hell are you doing?

Dark Portal 3, February 14th.

A dark-minded otaku named Duke, who had never even touched a girl's hand, swore to use his power to name February 14th of every year as Lovers' Day.

Later, because a certain man succeeded in marrying the Windrunner sisters, he shamelessly used his power to deceive King Llane in January: "Llane! I always feel that the population loss of Stormwind Kingdom is too great. To train a qualified soldier, you must first have a qualified young man. It takes at least 16 years for a baby to grow into an adult warrior."

"Do you mean to encourage childbirth? The ministers have discussed this with me before, but didn't you say that the country can't come up with more money as a reward to encourage childbirth?"

"No, we don't need money. We can designate February 14 as Valentine's Day. That day, all soldiers except those on duty can have a day off."

"Why 'Valentine's Day'?" Llane asked curiously.

"Ah! In order to fight against the evil orc invaders, countless good men bravely rushed to the battlefield without leaving any boys or girls behind. Many men shed their blood on the battlefield and could never return home to reunite with their beloved girls. Don't you think this is a great tragedy?"

Llane's eyes twitched suddenly when he saw Duke put one hand on his chest and stretched out the other hand, making the posture of a bard reciting poetry.

"In order to deal with the Horde, there is no other way."

"Yes! But now that the war is over, don't you think we should compensate our warriors well? We still have at least 30% of our soldiers who have to stay in the barracks or go out on patrol all winter. You know, we must maintain at least 100,000 standing soldiers for a long time to come. Just imagine, tens of thousands of soldiers have been cooped up for a whole winter, and then suddenly announced that they can take a holiday to go back to their hometowns to reunite with their loved ones, what will happen?" The evil Duke grinned.

Well, that picture was too beautiful, oh, too eye-catching, even the usually serious Llane had to hold his forehead with his hand.

However, in this era, there are no three gods of death like on Earth - Durex, Okamoto and Jissbon. These three gods of death prevented billions of humans from being born.

There have been statistics on the earth for a long time. Starting from February, ten months later, the most babies are born in December...

Llane smiled bitterly and turned his head to Anduin who was also rubbing his brow beside him: "What do you think?"

Lothar could only smile bitterly and replied: "From the perspective of military discipline, this is terrible, but in the long run, it is good for the country, so I can only agree. Anyway, those little guys down there will definitely cheer."

Therefore, Stormwind officially announced on January 25 that February 14th of each year in the Kingdom would be Valentine's Day, and soldiers could take a three-day holiday before and after, or take early or delayed rest, so that the brave warriors could reunite with their loved ones after hard training and fighting.

You have to know that in those days, professional soldiers had very few days off and no fixed holidays. Their service period was generally more than 15 years.

In ancient Rome on Earth, professional soldiers had to serve for 25 years before they could retire. In the past, Stormwind had sent more than a third of its men to the army for the war. Although the war was basically over, most of these soldiers signed a pledge to serve as soldiers with the kingdom.

Now this announcement was released without any warning, and the whole country cheered.

Jaina arrived in Stormwind Kingdom by boat on January 15th. Ostensibly to become his disciple, but in reality Daelin invited Jaina to come with the intention of marrying off his daughter.

Three large ships were filled with the accompanying belongings and servants alone, and there was also an elite guard of two hundred people, and a few ceremonial officers, so that if anything really happened, the wedding could be held directly.

Duke protested strongly, saying that this was not becoming a disciple, but selling his daughter.

The two old foxes, Daelin and Llane, ignored them all and understood each other tacitly.

On February 1, a convoy of 80 carriages drove along the newly built cement road to Karazhan. Two weeks later was exactly Valentine's Day officially announced by Stormwind Kingdom.

On February 14, Valentine's Day, sitting in the newly renovated reception hall of Karazhan, Jaina, wearing a perfectly tailored mage robe, felt that something special must be happening today.

Although she had been left here for two weeks after arriving, in Khadgar's official announcement today, it happened to be Duke who gave her her first lesson...
