"Now, Duke, how long do you think this war will take?" Kelthas asked.

Duke smiled slightly: "Are you asking another friend during a chat as a friend? Or are you asking the deputy commander of the alliance as an official?"

Kelthas replied with a faint smile: "Friend."

"That's simple. It depends on how many neutral forces the orcs who don't know how to get angry with them. The more they get, the faster the orcs will be destroyed."

"oh?"

"Although the alliance integrates eight kingdoms against tribes, in fact, there are still quite a lot of neutral forces on this continent that have not participated in the war." Duke talked happily.

“What about?”

"For example, the goblins in the southernmost Stranglethorn Valley, the wildhammer dwarfs in the northernmost continent of Hinterland, or the northernmost Quel'thalas..."

Speaking of this, Kelthus couldn't help but sigh, and he immediately looked up: "What if the status quo is maintained?"

"It depends on how long the bronze bearded dwarves in Iron Fortress can last. If the bronze bearded dwarves are destroyed before the alliance counterattacks, it is likely that this will become a long-term confrontation between the two continents of the entire Eastern Kingdom Continent. It is not impossible to make a hundred-year war without paying attention."

Kelthas's face was a little bad: "What if all the forces you mentioned participated in the war against the tribe?"

Duke raised a finger: "In a year, the tribe will be defeated."

"This is really the best news I have heard recently." A gentle and crisp voice came from the door of the private room. Two beautiful female figures appeared at the door, and they were naturally speaking from Gianna, who had a good impression of Duke just now.

As Jaina, who has just received Duke's magical praise and has won countless Dalaran female mage apprentices, was still confused about this being a bad idea that Duke secretly used. Now Jaina's favorability towards Duke is definitely not low. Of course, compared with a certain Prince Lordaeron, her favorability is still much lower.

Jaina, who had changed into a water-blue magic robe, gave a lady gift to Duke Yingying.

"His Excellency Marcus, we meet again." Jaina was in a good mood, her face was filled with sunshine, as if the haze of war was dispelled by this smile.

The other one is the eldest daughter of the Barov family who Duke is waiting for, Ilushiya Barov, who is only 15 years old.

Obviously, Ilushia inherited the beauty from her mother, no, should still be above Duchess Jennis.

Interestingly, Ilushia's appearance is more in line with the aesthetics of oriental people.

The skin is white and delicate, as crystal clear as ivory jade carvings.

A head of black and beautiful black hair was in the middle, obediently hanging from his ears to his chest, with a beautiful silver hair jewelry on his forehead, and the sapphire inlaid on it was crystal clear. The delicate and beautiful face without any powder was blown like cream. Under the two long and slender willow-leaf eyebrows, a pair of eyelashes that were as charming as autumn water were embedded in the middle.

The two willow leaves have ingenious eyebrows, with straight and beautiful noses, and the nose wings seem to be slightly inciting. Below the erect nose is a small mouth of cherry. Although there is no lipstick, it looks more vivid and more attractive than those who apply lipstick. The lips with clear contours are rosy, just like ripe cherries that can be picked at any time.

Even though she was wearing a loose mage robe, it was still not difficult to see that she had a golden proportional figure, and her waist was slender and not round, which was as perfect as a model.

A pretty beautiful beauty.

In fact, in terms of appearance, Ilushia is definitely not inferior to those beauties Duke has seen, such as Princess Caria or Aurelia. She is even slightly better than Jaina who has not grown up. If Ilushia loses somewhere compared to them, it is temperament.

Princess Caria gives Duke the feeling of being noble and kind, Aurelia combines the wildness of a ranger with the elegance of a high elf, Jaina is intelligent and extremely confident, and Ilushia...

Although the Barov family is also a high-ranking noble, it can be seen that Ilushia has also received extremely good tutoring, but Ilushia looks even more... docile.

As soon as she saw Duke, she almost hurriedly looked Duke around, and Ilushia gave up looking at Duke. She lowered her eyelids and lowered her head slightly, which was also a very standard lady gift.

"I have met Duke Marcus, I am Ilushia Barov." The timid voice made people want to bully her or protect her.

Duke sighed quietly in his heart. This kind of jasper-like temperament destined that Ilushia might be a good partner in marriage and a good wife of a man, but Ilushia would never be a heroine like Aurelia who stands alone.

"Ilushia, my mother must have sent someone to notify you of the details?" Duke asked.

"Well, in fact, it was my mother who personally sent me a magical message."

Duke thought for a moment: "That's all right. I'm essentially just a Sky Master now. It seems unreasonable to teach you, who is the peak Earth Master. You should be my assistant now. After I pass this winter and upgrade to Morning Star Master, we will confirm our relationship."

"OK."

Duke didn't know yet that his words had already caused storm in Kelthas and Gianna's hearts. How could the Morning Star Mage upgrade as soon as he said it was?

At the level of the Morning Star Master, he can be respected as a master.

Going further to the level of Huiyue, it is a rare existence. Often, mages of this level are all giants. For example, people like Kelthus, Crasus, and Kelthuzad, regardless of their origin, can get a real-life duke or prince whenever they go out.

Not to mention Xiri, there are only two in the world now.

Duke said that he would upgrade, just like eating and drinking water. If it were someone else, he would definitely be regarded as a bragging king. But he was Duke, a man who had cheated more than 200,000 orcs twice and burned half of the Elvin Forest.

At that meeting where Kenreto Parliament summoned Duke to discuss, Kelthas was very impressed by Duke: everything Duke did was confident, as if nothing in the world could escape his predictions. It seemed that men like him rarely talk big, and there was no need to lie on such things by using such deception.

Duke's courage to speak will only prove that Duke is 100% sure.

You know, Duke will be only 16 years old next year!

A 16-year-old Morning Star Mage!?

Without Duke's identity as the deputy commander of the league and his brilliant achievements, this alone would be enough to make Duke the most dazzling star in the mage world. (To be continued.)
