"Once Varian and Li Ke leave, we will have the final say in this area. We are law-abiding citizens and have healthy competition. Let's see what Li Ke can do!"
A businessman held champagne in his hand and couldn't help laughing.
Just like Li Ke, these people were all surprised by the sudden news of the engagement between Her Royal Highness Princess Calia and Sir Presto.
Then, when they learned that Li Ke was about to leave here, they became even more happy.
These merchants who formed a group to raise the prices of goods that Li Ke needed were all in the same group as those who were hoarding food, so they were quite unhappy when they knew that a large amount of food in Li Ke's territory was in the hands of civilians.
of.
How can you, Li Ke, be considered one of our own if you don't make money? Even if you are an upright and honest paladin, you still have to abide by the rules of our upper class, right?
You don't pay excessive taxes, and you are willing to allocate houses and farm tools for free, and even make and lend tools for free to help farmers cultivate the land and sow seeds. All you have to do is give one person a few slaves and let them become a noble lord.
How is this appropriate?
How can we lead the people in our own territory?
These are the thoughts of the small nobles and big businessmen gathered here at this moment.
After all, big businessmen are just white gloves, and they can still make a lot of money from the necessities needed to raise Li Ke.
Of course they have nothing to object to.
And these small nobles and individual big nobles can not only get a lot of money from Li Ke, but also get the right to speak that was not in their hands from the beginning, forcing Li Ke to negotiate with them and negotiate with them.
Li Ke talks about aristocratic law.
They were so happy.
Especially the fact that Li Ke had to go to Lordaeron with Varian to attend the engagement dinner made them even more ecstatic.
Although it only takes a week at most, this week is enough for them to do a lot of things!
After all, their leader is the spokesperson of a great noble. It is suspected that he is not very satisfied with Sir Prestor marrying the Princess of Lordaeron, Ms. Katrana Prestor. The other party has always been willing to sacrifice her own interests in Stormwind City to support that person.
The Paladin is quite critical, so at this time, as long as the money earned from Li Ke is divided into three to seven, seven of them and three to Ms. Presto can make Ms. Presto turn a blind eye and close one eye.
Eye-catching.
They can also directly make everything a foregone conclusion. When Li Ke comes back, he will face an absolute barrier that cannot be bypassed!
The Noble Council will apply for new restrictive laws. They will buy all the food in the Western Wilderness, directly place huge orders for Li Ke's factory, and then cut off the supply of raw materials!
They can knock down that proud paladin, the illegitimate son of Terenas, in one fell swoop!
"That's right, even if they find something is wrong, they can come back here through the portal, but they can't solve anything. We have already solved everything."
Another noble burst out laughing, also looking happy.
The nobleman who was responsible for the entire operation and planning did not say much. He just tidied his clothes in a reserved manner, then stood up in front of everyone's attention and raised the champagne in his hand.
"Then let us celebrate the victory of this operation. Everyone, please let us drink this together..."
Before he could finish his words, the next moment, bursts of miserable howls could be heard from outside the manor. And the words he spoke directly made a word appear subconsciously in the hearts of these people.
escape.
"Beast, beastman!!!"
The next moment, more screams appeared. A nobleman looked out the window and was frightened.
In his eyes, groups of orcs wearing armor that were better than their guards and attendants rushed into their guards. The weapons of their guards had no way to deal with these top-helmets and armors, and they still had long swords in their hands.
Orcs with battle axes——
Each of these orcs wore armor that was at least three centimeters thick, and had hard steel protection from their eyes to their mouths. Each of them even had a helmet, gloves, and foot armor that did not affect movement at all.
In their hands, they held a two-meter-long tomahawk made entirely of fine steel. Not to mention the tomahawk itself was the size of a human head, and the handle of the tomahawk was also made of steel!
Their visors are extremely ferocious, but they protect their teeth very well. But from their perspective, you can only see pairs of eyes glowing red under each of their ferocious iron masks.
.
On their waists were equally well-made axes, a strange-looking firecracker and a strange hand crossbow.
There are five spears for throwing and shields for defense on the back.
Not only that, the wolf warriors around them were also covered in strange scale armor and almost identical chain armor!
How is this going!?
Aren’t we humans the ones who have the advantage in equipment?!
His mind couldn't understand the current situation, and neither did his guard, but the guard who had been smuggling and selling slaves with him didn't want to sit still and wait for death.
He waved the sharp blade in his hand and slashed the waist of a wolf that was charging towards him.
But he underestimated the defensive ability of the chain armor on the wolf. His sharp sword only smashed a large ring on the wolf's waist, which was blocked by the layer of fish-scale armor below.
Already.
However, he had no time to regret his mistake, because the orc who was acting with the Wolf Warriors directly hit him with an axe, and the sharp axe blade directly split his helmet and brain.
But this is not the end, because it is obvious that the orc underestimated the sharpness of the battle ax in his hand. With the heart-wrenching sound of metal twisting, the body of the noble guard captain was directly split in half, allowing this attack
The orc staggered.
"Ah...ahhh!!!"
How could the pampered new-generation noble have ever seen such a scene? He screamed out in surprise, and the next moment, a rotating ax flew over and cut off his head under his horrified roar.
Blood flew out, and the orc who threw the ax looked at his palm in surprise.
The nobles and businessmen in the hall finally understood what was happening! They screamed in horror and began to look for various hiding places, or various things that could be used as weapons, in order to defend themselves.
After all, although they have never been on the battlefield, they are not completely incompetent. They still have basic martial arts skills.
As the commander, General Black Beast (Black Orc) also naturally discovered the power of these identical armors, so he couldn't help but speak to Sironas who had turned into a goblin.
"The equipment you gave us is so useful. If we use the Doomhammer to add elemental power, we can even face an entire human army!"
