Fel doesn't lie to you

Chapter 542

"Anyway, I'm right."

After burning Li Ke's letter, Alsace also felt a little shaken, but not because of Li Ke, but because——

"My lord! Why are you all wearing armor!"

The little boy named Timmy looked at the soldiers around him curiously, and asked innocently.

This is a child he rescued under the entrustment of a mother in the village where he was stationed. This child was captured by the Kobold because of his playfulness.

These guys who like to dig all kinds of minerals, especially gold, are not friendly. If they hadn't gone in time, little Timmy would have died.

But facing the child's question, Alsace answered patiently, and gently stroked Timmy's head with his hand.

"Because they are all warriors to protect Lordaeron, so they have to wear heavy armor to fight against those evil orcs. They and I will protect you, your parents.

"Really? Even if he is captured by a kobold...no, a more powerful monster, can you rescue him, Prince?"

Timmy's eyes sparkled with admiration, and Arthas nodded in return.But I couldn't help thinking of Uther in my heart, because Timmy's father was captured by orcs in the mine, and it was Uther who led people to rescue.

But there's no need to tell Timmy.

"Yeah, so, Timmy, they're great people..."

Speaking of this, the soldiers killed by him flickered in Alsace's eyes. Although they were all eager to get various merits and rewards, if they had no intention of fighting for Lordaeron at all, Alsace Sass couldn't believe it himself.

but……

The scene of corpses strewn across the fields, the feeling of warm blood spattering on his face reappeared in Alsace's heart.

This made his voice pause before continuing.

"...It is also worthy of respect."

But are those people really worthy of respect?
Looking at the sunset in the distance, and Timmy's mother with a happy expression on her face, Alsace was in a trance.

And couldn't help thinking of more.

"They do have the idea of ​​fighting to protect Lordaeron, but they want to make their lives better. What is the way for nobles to live better? It is nothing more than plundering civilians. The more nobles, the more common people The day will be more difficult..."

Arthas kept thinking about this matter, but he immediately came to a conclusion that he had drawn countless times before.

Aristocrats are cancerous.Even if they are working hard for good things, as long as the nobles, as long as the system of the nobles' benefit does not disappear, then the things the nobles do will never have good results. Even if they are good people, they are very clean. The system of the nobles Also causes the entire kingdom to collapse after a certain amount of time.

After figuring this out, other things will naturally become clearer.

He couldn't help but think of Li Ke's actions. Li Ke just ignored the nobles and created a new profit-making group, which made his territory stable. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to enforce his own The command.

Who is his subordinate who benefits?

Workers, literate people without positions and nobility.

these people……

It is impossible to become an aristocrat.

"But they will also form a new 'nobility' afterwards."

Alsace frowned. Of course, he could see the many disadvantages of Li Ke's territory, such as the excessive power of officials, and the corruption of procurement and other departments. He assured that Li Ke would never be able to deal with these things.

Because that is not something that humans can avoid.

What Li Ke did was still just repeating, repeating the paths of those kingdoms that had perished.

"I see... Is this why those kingdoms collapsed? The nobles and the king, the people are not on one side. The king needs to weaken the nobles, but he must ensure that the rules of the nobles he made can be implemented, and the nobles It is necessary to support the king and fight against the king to get what they want, and in this process, the common people are not only the king's comrades-in-arms, but also the king's sword and pawns, and they can choose to abandon some when necessary."

The education of the royal family reverberated in Alsace's mind. Terenas had told him these principles long ago. He didn't understand them before, but now he understands them.

He took a deep breath and felt a pang of sadness.

because--

"Father, you saw it too."

Alsace's emotions were quite complicated. He felt that the image of the tall father in his heart was slowly collapsing, because since his father could tell him this, then he would definitely be able to see these problems and think of him. Think about these questions!

but!

His father did nothing!It even allowed the growth of nobles!The increase of the lords was allowed, the rights of the nobles were allowed to grow, and they were even encouraged to obtain these privileges, and expand their power and plunder the common people!

He knew why, because neither he nor his father could see the outbreak of this evil, because they could satisfy these nobles by occupying the entire human world, and use the dividends of war to keep the civilians alive.

But they can't see, his grandson, can't his grandson's children see it?At that time, what will Lordaeron do?What about their glory? !Their efforts will be for naught!Just like Emperor Thoradin!
What about the people of Lordaeron!
Alsace clenched his fist, he didn't understand why his father would do this!He is so wise!So smart!He should make more efforts to end this despicable reincarnation and plunder!
But at this moment, the words Terenas once taught him sounded in his heart again.

"Kingship has no eternity, son."

he! !Know! !road! !

Arthas gritted his teeth tightly, he finally understood, he finally understood, his father still knew from the beginning that their kingdom would be destroyed, their efforts would be in vain, and the people of Lordaeron would die Suffering in the future!

He knows everything!

Knowing this, Arthas felt dizzy and his whole world was collapsing. Even if his father killed Kel'Thuzad, he didn't feel so disappointed, because he felt that his father should I didn't want to understand.

But now he understands.

In his heart, the king of Lordaeron who is omnipotent, kind and wise, diligent and wise, and whom he has always regarded as a role model and yearning object, his father!

He saw the problem and chose to do nothing!

He used to think he was looking at a glorious statue, but now he knew—

"There is darkness in front of my eyes..."

It was like this before, it is like this now, and if you don't work hard and make up your mind, it will be like this in the future.

He closed his eyes, but at that moment Timmy spoke again.

"Then Your Highness! Can I protect other people in the future? Just like these adults in armor! Can I be as majestic as them?"

Timmy looked at Alsace with a look of admiration. He really wanted to be someone like Alsace, save the weak, and be handsome and unrestrained.

"Yes, Timmy, yes, the future belongs to you."

Seeing Timmy's smile, Alsace's gloomy mood suddenly seemed to meet the sun. He knew that what he did was not meaningless.

He can give children like Timmy a bright future.

He smiled and touched Timmy's head, but he saw in the distance that Uther's team had returned, but they were supposed to bring back Timmy's father and other people who were kidnapped by orcs in this town. Didn't bring anyone else back, and looked depressed.

Alsace's mood turned bad all of a sudden, he handed Timmy to his anxious mother, and then walked towards Uther.

"How things had been?"

He looked at Uther, but he didn't realize that his voice was so cold.

And Uther's face was quite ugly.

"Part of the ransom sent over was embezzled. The orcs killed all the captives and left. As for who embezzled..."

Uther let out a long sigh.

"Can't find out."

Arthas pursed his lips when he heard this, because Timmy's father was among those prisoners.And Timmy didn't even know about it, he didn't even know that his father was caught!
What was he going to tell Timmy?

Thinking of Timmy's innocently adoring face, Alsace's fists became tighter and tighter.

really……

Alsace hated those nobles who didn't act according to their own ideas and the laws of the kingdom more and more.

"In this world, only necromancy can bring order!"

His order!

　emm, I overslept yesterday...

　　So 500 more words.
