CHAPTER 722: MISSION

As the saying goes, beauty is like a painting.

In the eyes of an artist, every smile, frown, cry and noise of a beautiful woman can be painted.

There are many famous beauties in the world of Azeroth.

In terms of appearance, blonde hair and blue eyes, which are very common elements here, do not add many points to Jaina.

In terms of figure, there are many who are hotter than Jaina.

No character in the alliance is more famous or more controversial than Jaina.

Why?

Perhaps everyone often criticizes Jaina’s socialite expertise;

Or maybe she sold out her father and pretended to cry;

But we must not forget that in history it was she who promoted the first alliance between the Horde and the Alliance and participated in the Battle of Mount Hyjal.

You know, in that battle, the heroes of Azeroth faced Archimonde, the leader of the Burning Legion!

It was a terrifying existence that was beyond the capabilities of the Alliance, the Horde, and the then-self-enclosed night elves to confront.

Being able to form an alliance across factions and go to the battlefield in person when facing a powerful enemy, it must be said that at least at that time, Jaina’s courage and determination was absolutely first-class.

Unfortunately, no one is perfect. Later in history, Jaina turned evil and did stupid things, which is another matter.

Of course, Duke could marry her, and with the righteous status of being her legal husband, he could directly subdue Jaina, have sex with her, and then have sex with her every day, until she got pregnant, and then have two children in three years, and four in five years.

When she joins the birth control guerrillas and there are babies everywhere, Duke doesn’t believe that she won’t be useless...

However, history has changed drastically, and Duke believes that after giving Jaina a dose of strong medicine, Jaina will no longer be so close to orcs. Similarly, from the age of thirteen to adulthood, her growth environment has been greatly purified.

Now that Duke controls the lifeblood of the alliance, Jaina should be controllable.

So again, it’s a waste to destroy Jaina.

Looking at Jaina, who was pursing her lips lightly and whose eyes flashed with stubbornness and wisdom, Duke knew that he had finally found the balance point in how to deal with Jaina.

Duke sighed softly: "As a commander, my vision is destined to be completely different from that of ordinary people. Give the griffins a sky, give the generals a battlefield, give the veterans a home... I have always advocated using people according to their abilities. Jaina, from the first day I met you, I knew that it would be a waste to keep someone as smart and wise as you in the backyard. That would be a waste for Kul Tiras and the entire Alliance..."

When Duke said this, Jaina was still shocked. This change was so unexpected that it just hit her sore spot and tickled her most. Her heart started beating wildly.

"The same person, facing the same situation, will make different choices due to different personalities. For example, Calia, I once asked her in person, ’If she was imprisoned in the deep palace, what would she do?’ Her answer was - she lamented her fate, and then silently endured it all..."

Therefore, in history, Calia did not choose to come out and raise her arms to inherit the throne when Lordaeron fell. Because she had been imprisoned for more than ten years, although she did not speak, she actually hated her father, King Terenas, and instead lived in seclusion until the Burning Legion invaded decades later, when she stood up again in middle age.

Duke’s talk about Calia undoubtedly deeply touched Jaina, because at the same time, there were not many princesses in the human kingdoms.

"You, Jaina, are different. Although organizing a caravan may seem like a boring move, in fact, you are organizing your own power. You have been trying to resist your own fate. Resisting the seemingly inevitable fate of being a daughter of the royal family and having to marry and have children!"

Duke’s words made Jaina feel as if electricity was flowing through her body. She couldn’t tell whether it was shock, astonishment, or numbness. Her beautiful lips moved for a long time, but she couldn’t squeeze out a word.

"I yearn for freedom, and I hate being bound by fate just like you. But I am different from you. I am not from a noble family, and I don’t think I must devote myself to my family. So I have rejected political marriages from the bottom of my heart from the beginning. In this case..." Having said that, Duke took out a stack of documents and handed them to Jaina.

Jaina took it a little confused. It was a list of refugees.

"This is..."

"The northern continent of Lordaeron has been destroyed, especially the old territory of Lordaeron. Except for the southernmost part of the continent near Hillsbrad Foothills, most areas are infected by the plague. This continent can no longer support so many people, so the migration of population has become inevitable."

Jaina raised her head and said, "Didn’t we say that, just like the last war, when Southshore took in Stormwind refugees, we should first take the people to the Westfall?"

"That’s roughly true, but you forgot one thing. The southern continent has a small population. At that time, all of them migrated there, only about 600,000 people. The northern continent of Lordaeron has always been the main settlement of humans. We calculated that even if we filled up Stormwind Kingdom, it would not be able to accommodate all the refugees."

"That..."

Duke led Jaina over to a table with a map of the southern continent pinned to it.

"Whether humans and high elves are willing or not, they must open up new territories. The current direction is Stranglethorn Vale south of Duskwood, but it’s not easy to deal with there because there are a lot of trolls. Also, not everyone is willing to go to the southern continent with the Alliance."

"What you mean is..." Jaina’s heart beat faster, and she seemed to have grasped what Duke wanted to say.

"It’s not just the people of Stromgarde, but also the people of Gilneas, because their country once withdrew from the Alliance. Even though I had already given orders to treat the refugees equally, in reality, the refugees from these two countries still suffer quite serious discrimination and even abuse." Duke sighed when he said this. He had left so many backup plans in the beginning to prevent Jaina from committing suicide and inciting these people to go across the ocean with her.

Who knew that when things got to this point, many things couldn’t be solved by just his order.

Every policy from the top has its countermeasures from the bottom.

Even though the higher-ups said they would not give them any, the lower-ups still pretended to obey and secretly disobeyed. There were even soldiers from the Stormwind who bullied the refugees from the two countries.

Duke doesn’t have the energy to manage it in detail, and the result is that many of the people who escaped from these two countries have become refugees among refugees. If they are left alone, they will be tortured to death sooner or later. This is a time of great chaos, and the death of tens of thousands of refugees is too common.

"Jaina, I hope to establish an Alliance bridgehead on the continent of Kalimdor, to monitor the Horde on one side and to deal with the possible invasion of Kalimdor by the Scourge on the other. I want to give this task to you, can you do it?"
