Captain Jack of Azeroth

Chapter 282 Prince Rude
Although Princess Jialiya has a good impression of Rude, it is more out of political considerations.

The Kingdom of Lordaeron is already in ruins, and she is in urgent need of a strong supporter. The most suitable candidate is actually Jack, who is not only powerful, but also has many allies, and can help Lordaeron get out of trouble quickly.

However, Jack has already married Veresa, so Princess Jialiya can only target people close to Jack.

Excluding those who are not human, there are only two humans closest to Jack, one is Rude and the other is Fitzmoss.

Fitzmoss, who was already in his fifties and had a family, was also excluded by Princess Calia.

The only one left is Rude, who is quite old, in his thirties and almost forty. But Rude is still single, and he is stronger than Fitzmoss, so he is the most suitable candidate at present.

What's more, Rude had protected her for several months and had always been conscientious in his duties. After getting to know him, except for being a bit of a straight man, all other shortcomings of Rude were tolerable.

In a political marriage, some things can be tolerated. In this way, Rude is also a good candidate.

In fact, Princess Calia is not young anymore, she is already in her twenties. King Terenas almost married her to Lord Prestor, but she was unwilling to marry an old man. Later, when Lord Prestor disappeared, she was somewhat relieved.

Now her mood was different. She was the only one left in the Menethil family. For the people of Lordaeron, she was willing to marry anyone. Compared with those real old men, Rude was not so unacceptable.

When Rude heard the news, he was also stunned. It was impossible to say that he had no love for Princess Jialiya. But he knew that he, a pirate, was not worthy of Princess Jialiya.

Immediately, he was so happy that he was silly. He was willing to marry into the family if he could get the beauty back.

There is no such thing as marrying into the wife's family in Azeroth, but Princess Calia will soon become the queen, and he and their descendants will also follow Princess Calia's surname, Menethil.

Rudd was not opposed to this, because as a commoner, he had no surname of his own, and he felt honored to be named Menethil.

In order to boost the morale of the people and soldiers of Lordaeron, Jack decided to hold a grand registration ceremony for Princess Calia.

On the day of his coronation, Jack set off a large number of fireworks to celebrate. Amid the fireworks, Princess Calia walked up to the throne and accepted the worship of ministers and generals.

The entire city of Lordaeron was plunged into a joyful atmosphere, and at this moment, everyone forgot about the disaster.

After the coronation ceremony, Queen Calia announced her first decree, which was to appoint Rudd as the Prince of Lordaeron and to give him control of all military power in the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

The generals had known about this order for a long time, so they looked at Rude with envy. The nobles were confused by this order, as they would never have thought that Jia Liya would marry a pirate of common origin.

Whether they were civilians or pirates, they had nothing to do with the prince. Soon, the nobles discovered Jia Liya's purpose, she wanted to win over the army.

General Thornby, who now commands the Lordaeron army, is a member of the Silver Covenant. The officers in the army are either Rude's old subordinates or refugees saved by the Silver Covenant.

This discovery made the nobles look very embarrassed, because it had already endangered their status. If these officers were canonized as new nobles by virtue of Prince Rude's status, then they would soon lose their current status and be far away from the center of power.

Jack noticed the absurdity of the nobles, but he didn't take it to heart. As long as Rude was still there, these nobles wouldn't be able to make any waves. And if they wanted to kill Rude, these nobles didn't have the ability to do so.

Dragon's Call is not an ordinary epic weapon. It contains the power of Eranikus, which constantly nourishes Rude's body. Rude is now learning druid spells from Iser, and can be considered a druid apprentice. You should know that Rude's main profession is a warrior. After being strengthened by natural energy, Rude's strength is very strong and can be comparable to the heavy punch.

The Tauren is already strong in combat, and Heavy Fist has a sword like Susas, so he can be said to be the best in the field of warriors. Rude can be on par with Heavy Fist, which shows how much benefit Dragon Summoning has brought to Rude. In addition, Rude has been with Jack for so many years, and although he has not learned anything else, he has developed the habit of preparing for a rainy day. Anyone who still thinks he is a big fool may not know how he died.

In the evening, after Rude finished dealing with the city defense affairs, he got up and went to the palace. Today was also the day he and Jia Liya were getting married, and Jia Liya was already waiting for him in the palace to rest.

Suddenly, Rude felt a murderous intent and immediately lunged forward to avoid the attack from behind.

With his hands on the ground, Rude somersaulted forward. In mid-air, he took out the Dragon's Summoning, and when he landed, he immediately saw the person who attacked him.

The two assassins looked at each other and quickly pounced on Rude.

Rude raised the corner of his mouth and took out his hand from behind his back, which held a pistol.

"Boom!"

A series of pistol shots knocked down the two assassins.

He looked around with disdain, "They really spent a lot of money to send out so many assassins?"

When the other assassins heard this, they knew that Rude had seen through their stealth. Although they didn't understand how Rude saw through it, it was difficult for them to assassinate Rude after their whereabouts were exposed. However, they did not retreat, but chose to attack. Because the employer spent a lot of money, they must not let Rude survive tonight.

More than a dozen assassins rushed out and attacked Rude together.

Rude channeled his magic power into the Dragon Summoning, and immediately several green dragon hatchlings were summoned.

The assassins were immediately shocked. Although the dragon cub was not strong, it could spit out dragon breath. Even the dragon cub's dragon breath was not something that mortals like them could resist.

While the assassins were in panic, Rude raised his pistol again and fired bullets like crazy.

This pistol is also equipped with a magic magazine, which stores thousands of bullets, enough to kill these assassins.

After the last assassin was killed, the palace guards came over.

"Rude, are you okay?"

The captain of the guard was Rude's most trusted subordinate. Seeing the corpses on the ground, he was very worried about what would happen to Rude.

"It's okay, just get rid of these bodies! These people should be professional assassins. It will be difficult to find out who is behind this."

The captain of the guard nodded, "It must be those nobles. They must be jealous of you becoming a prince."

Rude: "Keep an eye on them. If they make any unusual moves, tell me immediately."

"it is good!"
