Fel doesn't lie to you

Chapter 461 Decent
The goblins' actions have begun, but Stormwind City still doesn't know that the nobles don't take the goblins seriously at all.

Their main defense is still their own people.

Even, because of this, they didn't guard against Li Ke.

Regarding this matter, Li Ke felt that it was quite interesting, although Varian didn't think so.

"Sorry, I never expected that they would be so shameless."

Varian's body seemed to have been drained of the last bit of strength, and he fell helplessly on the soft couch, looking at Li Ke who was sitting on the side.

"I failed you."

And Li Ke looked at Varian's apologetic face, and immediately spoke with a smile.

"You didn't fail me, you just failed the people."

Varian covered his face in pain.

"Your mouth..."

He shook his head, but did not refute what Li Ke said, because he had indeed failed his own people.

"Then follow your instructions and let them understand the new rules."

Varian sighed.

He couldn't stop the war, because those nobles were not satisfied with just raising the price of food, they wanted it all.

So he chose Li Ke, although Li Ke's purpose is not pure.

When Li Ke told him that he could be given a large amount of food, he knew that Li Ke must have a plan, otherwise he would have sent the food to him, instead of telling himself when he was desperate.

He even gave himself another way before.

But he still didn't want to let those nobles completely break with Li Ke like this. Many of them were former loyal ministers, and their father and brother died in the Battle of the Dark Gate.

These people are loyal ministers of Stormwind City, but the current situation does not allow them to be loyal to Stormwind City.

So he still wants to make these people decent.

But it's a pity that these people don't give him dignity.

Not only rejected his request to stop the war, even without his consent, he decided to send troops on his own.

He is a king, he is not a god, and he cannot defy the combined will of the nobles, even though many people will die.

But now he has Li Ke.

A paladin who is dedicated to the people.

"But you'd better not disappoint me, Li Ke."

He had mixed feelings, because when he made this decision, he knew that his time had passed.

But there's nothing to say about that, and nothing to be sorry about either.

After all, since he ascended the throne, he has never really controlled the entire kingdom.

"You will always be the ruler of Stormwind, Your Majesty."

Li Ke stroked his chest lightly. He didn't care much about Varian's attempt to persuade the nobles. He didn't believe in Varian's integrity. This guy's integrity is actually quite flexible.

He believed in greed.

Human greed.

The greed of these fools.

Varian is able to bring them benefits, but they who have already grasped the power and initiative, why should they give up to get more?
The real elites of Stormwind City, the real mainstay, either died at the hands of the orcs, or they voted for the continuation of the family, in order to defeat the orcs, and voted for the silver hand, and the rest...

Of course it is Shuoshu.

This is a very tragic fact. The heroes die without fear of sacrifice, and what is left behind are naturally greedy fools who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

After that, there is a common history of bad money driving out good money.

This is a new fact discovered by Li Ke.

The harm that the orcs did to the human world not only killed many people, but also slaughtered a large number of nobles with morality, foresight, knowledge and conscience.

These people are the mainstay of the kingdom.

"Let's get started, let the people of Stormwind see how dirty the old men on their heads are."

Li Ke chuckled and closed his notebook, bowed to Varian, and left the palace.

Varian watched Li Ke leave with complicated eyes, groped his chest, took out a thin slice, then broke it apart, and reunited with his wife again in the hallucination.

The real world was too cruel and complicated for him.

Li Ke, on the other hand, felt relaxed.

What he does is simple.

It's just opening a warehouse to release food.

----------

"Mom, I'm hungry."

The eight-year-old Dimien looked at his mother, and couldn't help but grabbed his mother's hand. He couldn't see his mother's pale face and dry lips, and he also knew that his family didn't have much food. up.

However, he was really hungry.

For three whole days he ate nothing but mud pies and wild vegetable soup, and he was really craving bread.

"I know, boy, but wait until your father comes back."

Dimien's mother Ellie sighed. It's not that she didn't want to feed her child, but she couldn't.

She has tried to pick wild vegetables as much as possible, but the surrounding wild vegetables have long been picked up by poorer people than them.

In fact, it was not so uncomfortable before. She had enough money to feed her and her children, and even held a banquet when her husband came back from work.

But the ever-rising food prices have made her less and less money. A month ago, she could buy a whole loaf of bread, but now she can buy two or three slices at most.

This simply cannot persist until the arrival of the child's father, and they will all starve to death at home.

But begging is useless, other towns are equally bad, and those who are officials in the town will be better.

But even if this is the case, there is no problem at first, their family still has a lot of stock, and it is okay to eat one meal a day.

However, the new tax came again.

Thinking of this, Dimien's mother couldn't help crying.

Of course she knew that the goblins and orcs had joined forces to attack them, which wasn't an accident, since they had joined forces before.

But she never imagined that their lords would fight goblins and orcs for them, and because of this, they had to pay taxes to support the war.

She knew it was necessary, but she still couldn't help but want to curse, because it was this order that made her family's last bag of wheat and soybeans robbed by the tax officer, and even beat her up, making her She lay in bed all day before barely being able to get up.

She didn't know who to blame, so she could only cry and curse the orcs.

Curse the orcs for taking their decent lives.

"Damn orcs! Don't let me see you!"

She didn't dare to curse the nobles, because she would be hanged, and she didn't dare to curse the tax collector, otherwise she would have to pay taxes again, so she could only curse the orcs.

However, just as she held her child's hand in despair, looked at his pleading eyes, and even wanted to commit suicide and let the child eat her own flesh, a cry came out.

"His Majesty Varian has distributed relief rations! His Majesty Varian has entrusted us to distribute relief rations to give you food!"

She froze for a moment, and before she could realize what happened, the elders of their family were roughly pushed away. A woman who looked very beautiful, and two strong men who almost fell to the ground were in front of her. broke into her home.

Just when she didn't know whether to scream or tell them that there was nothing to grab at home, the woman spoke.

"Okay, put the food here. This is the relief food given to you by His Majesty the King. You don't need to go hungry anymore."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and was about to leave, but she was afraid that this was a woman who had come to buy and sell their farmland forcibly, so she got angry from nowhere, grabbed the woman's wrist, and asked eagerly.

"excuse me, you are……"

She didn't know what the other party was thinking. She was very afraid that after accepting the food, their family would suffer more misfortunes.

There were so many things like this that she really didn't dare to gamble.

"What a coward."

She heard the woman speak, which made her shrink her neck, but still looked into the woman's eyes.

"Well, it's okay to tell you."

The woman smiled.

"I am Sironas, the tax collector of the tax town, and the one who ordered us to give you food made our master, the bearer of the holy light—"

The poor mother didn't know if she was wrong. For a moment, there was a green light in the woman's eyes.But then she heard a somewhat familiar name.

"—Li Ke."
