Fel doesn't lie to you

Chapter 82
"Of course, of course, you've praised me."

The three of them were all smiling, and what Li Ke meant was to let them make a lot of money, which was really great for them.

The new lord is indeed a good man!

The lord's official is indeed a good person!

This idea appeared in their hearts, but unfortunately, Li Ke didn't mean to say anything, and just rode away on his horse.

Martin was a little puzzled, but he followed along with the tax officer.

The same goes for the others, and everyone is a little confused.But because it wasn't because of the nobles, they just glanced at each other, and after agreeing on a time to meet later, they all dispersed.

When Martin and the tax officer caught up with Li Ke, they found that Li Ke was on his way to the Norman territory, looking at the distant mountains, as if he was thinking about something.

Because he was familiar with Li Ke, Martin was pushed out for questioning. He carefully looked at Li Ke who was frowning and watching the mountain, and asked.

"Well, Master Li Ke, don't you want to chat with them?"

Martin was very puzzled. Li Ke said that he wanted to chat with the members of the three major families, but it was only a short chat like this, which really made them unable to understand.

"Because there's nothing to talk about."

Li Ke looked at the mountains in the distance, and suddenly asked a question.

"Speaking of which, Martin, do you think the mountains over there are particularly suitable for banditry?"

"what?"

Martin had question marks all over his head.

He looked at the mountain over there and couldn't help but shook his head.

"Impossible, there is no water source over there, and the terrain is not very good, no bandits can survive there. And there will not be many bandits in our territory. If we are stationed there, we only need a knight and a group of soldiers to charge. You can destroy them directly."

He is very aware of this matter. Every year, peasants who cannot survive go up the mountain to become robbers, but these guys without military literacy only need a knight to solve them.

Therefore, he still understands it very well.

"That is to say, it must be a very powerful bandit to be able to station on this mountain and make everyone helpless? Martin, if you are talking about it, what size bandit is needed to be able to Let us gather all our strength and there is no way to wipe them out?"

Li Ke looked at Martin with interest.

Martin was even more puzzled, because the possibility Li Ke said did not exist at all.

"If you are stationed in this kind of place, there should be at least [-] knights with three horses and complete armor, plus [-] fully armed soldiers. They're going to be routed."

He paused, then continued.

"However, it is impossible for bandits of this scale to appear here. Bandits of this scale are only found in Alterac and around Stormwind City, and most of them were once nobles. We do not have bandits of this scale in Lordaeron. of."

Martin looked at Li Ke, and wanted to say that if such bandits could appear in the hinterland of this kind of kingdom, it would prove that Lordaeron is not far from subjugation.

Moreover, even if there is, the Knights of the Silver Hand with all the paladins can arrive within a day. Their holy light can make them and their horses have super toughness and endurance, and they will be fully armed to attack in two days or two. Night is as simple as eating and drinking, and they don't have to worry about the night, the holy light will illuminate their way forward.

Given the distance between here and Lordaeron, no matter how slow it is to send messages through griffins, the Knights of the Silver Hand will arrive the day after tomorrow. It is impossible for such bandits to appear.

If the Silver Hand can't be free, Stratholme is next door, and the knights under Baron Rivendell can be counted in thousands. If a knight order comes over, the problem will be solved.

But he wouldn't tell Li Ke these things, otherwise he would have nothing to eat.

"That's it."

Li Ke nodded, he was afraid that there really was one, and since there wasn't one, there would be very, very much room for manipulation.

"Well, what if there is?"

"This……"

Martin was getting more and more confused.

"I am not sure."

That was all he could answer.

"Does that mean that everyone has to pay to suppress the bandits? After all, the bandits harm everyone's interests, and the lord is constantly building, so now he is unable to clear up the bandits, and the bandits dare not attack the lord, so they attack those For a rich and unkind businessman or something..."

Li Ke showed a smile.

Martin was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly understood, while the tax officer on the other side opened his mouth wide, never thinking that he could still play like this.

"Well, I think they will pay someone to suppress the bandits."

"Then asking someone to suppress the bandits also requires a strong and trustworthy person, doesn't it?"

Li Ke showed a smile, and looked at the tax official on the side encouragingly, and the tax official immediately understood.

"Naturally, so if it happens, if such a situation really happens, I am afraid that the lord or you will be required to take the lead."

Nodding his head, Li Ke showed a reasonable expression.

"It's natural. As the mayor, I naturally have to shoulder this responsibility. At that time, we all have to do our best to donate the money to the lord, so that the lord can find someone to support him."

"It's nature, it's our home after all."

The tax official hastily agreed, jokes, the new boss will lead everyone to make a fortune, how can such a good thing not be done?
"Yes, as nobles and knights, we naturally have to take the lead."

Martin also nodded immediately and expressed his approval.

"Not only that, we also need to protect the townspeople, don't we?"

Li Ke smiled again.

Martin and the tax officer took a deep breath at the same time, and looked at Li Ke in disbelief.

"It's still...that's right! After all, our job is to protect everyone!"

Li Ke nodded.

"Then it's decided."

All three laughed silently, but the tax official frowned.

"It's just that the kingdom has been very peaceful these years. Everyone is a harmonious neighbor, and there are no bandits."

"some."

Li Ke showed a smile.

He pointed in the direction of Lordaeron.

"Yes, and it will be here soon."

Both Martin and the tax collector were puzzled. They thought Li Ke was going to let their people play the role of bandits, but it was easy to pass through this way, but judging from this posture, Li Ke has his own armed forces?
But Li Ke immediately dispelled their doubts.

"Don't worry, it's free, and you will definitely know this person."

Li Ke pinched the horse's belly, and he still needed to observe the terrain.

"We know each other?"

Martin and the tax officer looked at each other. They didn't know Li Ke before, how could they know someone from Li Ke?
So they didn't understand, and could only look at Li Ke expectantly.

But Li Ke just chuckled lightly and didn't answer them.

after all.

Did he mean to say that he intended to make Alsace a bandit?
