The loyalty of soldiers and their reputation for righteousness are very critical to an army. Of course, military pay is also very critical.
But Stormwind City can only use these to contain Li Ke, because no matter how good it is on paper, many unexpected things will happen when it is actually applied.
The historical "housekeeper" system was changed according to the situation, and Li Ke naturally had such treatment and was able to form a guard team of about 500 people.
But it's legal here.
This team is completely obedient to him. Jennifer also has this configuration, but everyone has a tacit understanding and does not mention this kind of thing.
"Basically, if you can guarantee the stability and loyalty of Westfall, His Majesty the King would not mind helping you open up a new territory in Stranglethorn Vale. Of course, if you can deal with the trolls there."
Bolvar's words were quite casual. In fact, he didn't think Li Ke would expand his territory to Stranglethorn Valley, because there were all trolls there.
No one knows how many trolls there are, but the voodoo magic and the large number of trolls there really make it uninteresting.
"It seems I still have the right to develop?"
Li Ke became more interested.
Stranglethorn Vale, although it still looks like a large barren land with trolls everywhere, it will be different after that.
Although this place is very close to the Dark Portal and the Cursed Land, as long as it can be conquered, there will be a large amount of territory and a place that is quite suitable as a port.
And for a long time, this place will not become a war-torn place.
Even when the Burning Crusade came later, this place was quite comfortable.
"Yes, so what do you think? His Majesty the King and I both want to take a look at your abilities. After all, a Paladin like you is really a rare character."
Bolvar spoke meaningfully. As the Grand Duke of Stormwind City, he would naturally be able to get information from Lordaeron, and the news coming from there was that Li Ke's strength as a paladin was simply unbelievable. Even if it is now recognized
Uther, the most powerful paladin in the world, after inspecting Li Ke's battle venue, also said that if he fought with Li Ke, it would be difficult to say that he could defeat Li Ke.
Although Varian still shows little interest in Li Ke, Bolvar wants Li Ke to serve Stormwind City more, for example...
Indirectly guarding the dark door.
No one knows whether the orcs will come to attack their world again, so the alliance has been maintaining an army at the Dark Portal, but if Li Ke's territory is near the Dark Portal, then no matter what, Li Ke cannot
Stand aside and watch.
Once the orcs attack from the Dark Portal again, the first one to be attacked will be Li Ke. Even if he doesn't know this now, when his territory starts to be built, he will naturally start to target the Dark Portal.
.
Moreover, although there are troops stationed at the Dark Gate, many powerful demons occasionally appear around it. If Li Ke can solve these, he will be considered a contribution to the Kingdom of Storm.
With so many things pressed together, Li Ke's development of his territory will inevitably slow down, and there will be countless more enemies.
In this way, although they gave Li Ke a lot, it would take at least two or three generations for Li Ke to realize his wish.
And he believes that Varian will never give up on himself, because he is a father, and when he realizes that his child is growing up, he will naturally cheer up.
By that time, he will definitely build the Stormwind Kingdom well.
I'm really looking forward to that time.
When Bolvar thought of this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, looking forward to the scene he imagined.
"It seems that I don't belong to you? Do you believe me so much? I am a nobody, and I have offended the king and prince of Lordaeron. I am a sinner. And not all users of the Holy Light are good people, right?
?”
Li Ke took the authorization letter, looked at Bolvar and spoke.
He was really curious. These people must have seen bad people who use the Holy Light.
But why do you trust him so much?
Bolvar laughed and shook his head.
"Indeed, there are people in this world who do bad things in the name of the Holy Light, but they are only a minority, and their Holy Light is also quite weak. People can tell at a glance that the other person's will is not firm."
Bolvar remembered Li Ke's background, so he kindly gave Li Ke some science knowledge.
"The Holy Light has its own will, and it is also the embodiment of your personal will and glory. If you don't firmly believe in the Holy Light, and believe in justice and glory, how can you have such a large-scale Holy Light in your body?
The Holy Light is so fair and merciful, which just shows what kind of person you are. And if even people like you are evil people, then there really is no hope and justice in this world."
There is one thing that Bolvar did not say, that is, after users of the Holy Light practice the Holy Light to a certain extent, they will be more or less affected by the theory of the Holy Light, becoming more just and righteous, and their bodies will also have all kinds of incredible things.
Variety.
Even lifespan and life level will change.
Their bodies will become more pure and holy, and their ability to use holy light will become more powerful.
And once something is wrong, the Holy Light will refuse to respond, and the perception will immediately change.
Especially for paladins like Li Ke and Uther, whose bodies are filled with holy light, it will be quite difficult for them to learn other abilities, such as magic.
And when they come into contact with evil things, they will naturally have warnings and physical reactions.
Li Ke's Holy Light is so just and benevolent, how could such a person be a bad person?
If such holy knights are all bad people, then the world will really be as he said, without any hope.
Moreover, Li Ke's performance in Lordaeron was remarkable. If he wasn't too upright, he could have become a famous official in Lordaeron.
"Well, it seems that the Holy Light has indeed brought me a lot of convenience."
Li Ke had nothing to say.
In his eyes, the Holy Light is just an object that anyone can use. But at least in the human world, it is a symbol of identity and justice.
"So, can we go to North County Abbey? I think you and Ms. Jennifer have been waiting for a long time, right?"
