784. Predatory Interests (5000 words)
"Temple...... Your Highness. We recognize this record of military exploits. But ......"
Just when Li Kai closed his eyes and concentrated, the nobles on the side walked to Li Kai's side and woke Li Kai up softly, and then said with an ugly expression and embarrassment.
And Li Kai also slowly opened his eyes, and after quietly glancing at them, Li Kai said expressionlessly: "But? But what? What else do you want? β
"Your Highness, you are a nobleman like us, so you should know that this is the way of survival of our nobles. It's our ......."
"I'm sorry, I think you misunderstood something. I've never been a true aristocrat. Don't you know who I am? I'm just an outsider brought back by Kova.
Although my identity was recognized by Sauron the Great and Queen Tanner. But I'm sorry, but I don't understand the invisible rules of your nobility. So I don't really understand what you're talking about. β
interrupted the other party's words again, making the other party's face even more ugly.
But the other party had no choice, after all, this time they fell into the disadvantage, and Li Kai was the real person at this time. So they have no other way to make up for it than to make it up.
If they can't reap the benefits after this unification war in the Southern Continent, then it means that their family will decline. That's right, no progress is the same as decline, so they must find a way to exchange some benefits from Li Kai and the Fifteenth Legion so that the family does not decline.
This is what they must do, and it is a must for them, the family speakers, to gain a firm foothold.
So staring at Li Kai, they thought for a while and then said, "Your Highness, do you think this is okay?" We can come up with some ......."
"Don't talk to me, you can't give me what I want. I know what you're up to. Consult with the gang across from you and give you three days in exchange. In three days' time, I will set out again with the men of the Fifteenth Legion. And you and I have found a target for you. β
Speaking of this, Li Kai threw a document on the table.
"After that, I will take people to the country where the combined legions of the Sixteenth and Twentieth Legions are attacking to grab the benefits. But I'm not going to take you with me.
So on the side of the Fourteenth Legion and the Thirteenth Legion, whether it is the target that is being attacked or the target that follows, you can choose it.
As for what you need to pay, you should also go to the princes and consult for yourself. They were all the eldest prince and the third prince who had come back from trading outside.
Not to mention the full understanding of your aristocracy, he is definitely a good hand. So you can play the rules between your nobles and see if you can do what you want. β
"Your Highness......"
"Alright, so be it. I also need to go and rest. Ignoring the changed faces of their nobles.
After all, Li Kai first had vested interests and did not plan to give them to them, and then he took advantage of them and did not take them with him. Now it's even more time for them to consult with the guys from the Fourteenth and Thirteenth Legions.
However, if you consult with the 14th and 13th Legions, it is absolutely impossible not to bleed.
The thought of what would happen to them was a headache for the rest of them. Because they're going to have a lot of things to give.
But now they don't dare to stop Li Kai, saying that it is absolutely impossible for Li Kai to understand nothing. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a military record that was so detailed that they were all frightened that it would have appeared like this.
Therefore, in addition to looking at Li Kai's distant back, their faces seemed to have opened a dye shop. didn't dare to stop Li Kai at all.
Li Kai, who had walked to the door, suddenly stopped, and then turned his back to them and said, "Lord Marquis Poli, I think you should understand what to do after that." β
"Yes, Your Highness, I understand. You can rest assured. β
The old Marquis of Polly suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart, and then nodded to show that he understood.
Do you need to say more about what happened after that? Of course, it is to ensure the benefits obtained by these officers of the 15th Army Corps.
Since Li Kai took out the military record, the old Marquis of Poli has seen that Li Kai definitely doesn't look down on those nobles. Even if there will be nobles in the kingdom you have established in the future.
But at the very least, the first generation of nobles must be the first generation of nobles like these legions in front of them. Because only the first aristocracy would not have as many crooked intestines as those old aristocrats.
Therefore, it is inevitable that these old nobles relied on some interests to exchange the interests of these legions in front of them, so as to make Li Kai's command mixed with sand, so what he has to do at this time is to help those officers guard the line of defense of interests.
Otherwise, it's just that these officers in front of him are like guarding their own interests, and it's not that the old Marquis of Polly looks down on them.
Even among these officers, there are those who come from the family. But how could they, who had not received formal aristocratic training and were expelled from their families, really play with those old things? So it's really not okay to stare at it yourself.
Originally, the old Marquis of Polly did not want to get involved in such a thing. After all, the Polly family's harvest can no longer be said to be big. It was unimaginably rich.
A kingdom as the Western French Empire
Duke's Duchy. Can you imagine what it was like? So the Polly family, who have gained so much, really don't want to continue to attract attention.
But it's a pity that things are so bumpy if they want to be so successful. Donβt wait for prosperity to care for the things important to you.
Since they have gained so many benefits from Li Kai, Li Kai's instructions must be completed as much as possible. Otherwise, if His Royal Highness says a word about the identity of the duke, all the territories of the principality can fly away from the mouth.
Therefore, there was no way, even in the face of the resentful gaze of those old nobles, they had to stand up for the interests of the Legion who were about to become the new nobles.
And it was only at this time that the old Marquis of Polly understood why Li Kai would say that he could become a duke before.
The reason is simple, let the other nobles know that the Polly family and they are no longer of the same mind. Among their enemies, in addition to the members of the Fifteenth Legion, the Polly family is also the enemy of these old nobles.
Only by dividing them can the interests of the XV Corps be preserved intact. And he has no way to use the power of other nobles to seek his own interests.
Yes, if it weren't for the opposition to the old nobles, in fact, they were the easiest people to get the benefits of the legion.
But now, now that Li Kai has found out, they can't do anything. The old nobles found him an enemy. Of course, he will keep an eye on himself even more, and he will not let the Polly family get more.
"I don't understand this set of nobles. It's ridiculous. The old Marquis of Polly looked at the door, where there was no longer Li Kai's figure. For the first time, the old marquis of the Polly family was jealous of Li Kai in his heart.
It's really Li Kai who seems to be so good at them. The blame had to be the conductor, but it had to come every time. It seems that at that time, the other party was observing everyone in this legion.
Knowing each other and knowing oneself can survive a hundred battles, Li Kai has really managed to know their Polly family, those old families, and these officers of the 15th Army Corps, otherwise he would not have downplayed this matter in this matter that is about to reap benefits.
"No wonder he was the only one of those foreign princes who was recognized by the emperor and queen. This sensitivity to struggle alone is not something that ordinary people can have. β
The old Marquis of Polly was in his heart, and then looked at his son beside him. It seems that the other party has just escaped from the excitement of becoming a grand duke: "People really can't be compared. The comparison is simply blind. β
β¦β¦
Three days later, Li Kai took the soldiers of the 15th Legion who had become nobles in the future and had increased by 20% to the other side to obtain benefits.
Half of the fifteenth legion's strength attacked, and it was said that the kingdom that had been breached by the defenses had been breached. Even if the fifteenth army army fights on its own, it is nothing more than a little slower, but it can be defeated.
Then not long after, Li Kai sat in the tent and looked at the letters on the table. Then he grinned and looked at the old Marquis of Polly and the officers of the Fifteenth Legion beside him.
"Let's circulate it. Look at the condemnation from the combined legions of the 16th and 20th Legions. β
After reading it, the people in the tent all had smiles on their faces. After all, the above words can be said to be very harsh.
It contains threatening words to tell them not to take their interests. But even if the other party threatens this matter, it doesn't have much to do with them.
The reason is very simple, what the Fifteenth Legion wants to do has to listen to Li Kai, and Li Kai will care about the other party's threat? It's ridiculous.
Don't look at the leader of the combined legion of the sixteenth and twentieth legions, he is also one of the princes, and he can still be the prince of the combined legions of the sixteenth and twentieth legions.
But compared with Li Kai, no one will think that the other party will be able to suppress Li Kai. Because the other party is just joking compared to Li Kai.
Let's talk about our own strength first. Li Kai was a professional of the double fourth order at this time. Although others didn't know, they just thought that Li Kai was just a [third-order shadow mage]. But just the mage profession is enough to be on par with the other party.
Speaking of identity, the prince of the combined legion of the Sixteenth Legion and the Twentieth Legion opposite was just a product of the great prince in exchange for interests. Even his original country was eradicated by the Western French Empire.
What power can the other party have behind him? Of course, there is no power left. Compared with Li Kai, who is standing behind Sauron the Great and Queen Tanner, there is no comparison, but the gap is unimaginably large. So this condemnation is just a joke.
"Your Highness, you can see the strong taste of nobility in this. After all, only the aristocracy likes to use condemnation to seek their own rights.
Li Kai nodded lightly: "I know, I guess I am also regarded as the prince who was set up." I thought it was other families who came to snatch the benefits, so I sent a condemnation.
Now that I think about it, it's no wonder that the combined legions of the 16th and 20th Legions were so slow to attack. It should be because the combined legions of the 16th and 20th legions are controlled by these nobles.
Otherwise, each legion is the level of strategy under the premise of having combat effectiveness guaranteed
It won't be so slow. The layman leads the insider. This is arguably the saddest thing for the Legion. β
Hearing Li Kai say this, all the officers of the 15th Army nodded in unison. That is to say, Li Kai will never interfere indiscriminately in military operations, and even regard himself as a small soldier in the war, otherwise the recording of the 15th Army Corps will not be so smooth.
Thinking of the nobles here, they also planned to intervene at first, but they were kicked out by Li Kai. They didn't care about laughing at the combined legion of the 16th Legion and the Twentieth Legion for a while, and they were all glad that they had a Li Kai who didn't understand and didn't interfere as the commander of the legion, otherwise they would be like those officers of the 16th Legion and the Twentieth Legion at this time, they would be very aggrieved.
"Alright, it's a joke. Don't think about it. It's just a bunch of aristocrats, and they can't chat. This time, there is a time limit for the unification of the southern continent. If they don't want the family to be cleaned up and washed away in blood, they won't do anything stupid. So what we should do or how to do it. Remember, we're here to pick up the bargains. Dangerous things let them go, we only want the good not the danger. β
"Yes, Your Highness."
Hearing Li Kai say this, the others knew what to do. After that, there is the set of mysteries that Li Kai doesn't understand about the distribution action and how to fight.
Li Kai won't say anything casually about this, if he doesn't understand it, it will only make things worse. Everything he did at this time was related to his own harvest in the future, and Li Kaicai didn't plan to interject casually to make the good situation even more unfavorable to himself.
The line fought by the combined legions of the 16th and 20th legions was quickly disposed of because of their frontal assault and the fifteenth army's pick-up everywhere.
For a while, all that's left is to find a way to get more benefits. Although Li Kai only has one old Marquis of Polly on his side, he knows how to fight for the greatest interests. Those of the Fifteenth Legion did not understand very well.
However, after Li Kai appeared, all the families on the side of the combined legion of the sixteenth legion and the twentieth legion were so frightened that they almost died, and the two sides reached a perfect consensus on the matter of the fifteenth legion snatching benefits.
That's it, that's it, hurry up and digest everything you need to digest. Don't let the rest of the people pick up the bargain just because you continue to drag on here.
After some arguing, the matter of the pillow was handed over to the fifteenth legion and the old Marquis of Polly. And Li Kai used the teleportation circle to return to the location of the royal capital of the Western French Empire.
In the palace, Li Kai looked at Kova in front of him. Li Kai frowned slightly: "Didn't you go to deal with the matter of the Killer Guild?" How did it end up here? β
Kova originally saw Li Kai's still a little happy face, but after hearing Li Kai's words, he suddenly became bad.
Looking at the other party's expression, Li Kai laughed softly: "It seems that things are not going well?" β
Kova didn't mean to hide it: "Yes, those old things from the Killer Guild don't want to become the dark side of the empire from now on.
"It's not all unwilling. Otherwise, I don't think that you and the Blood Blade alone can fight against the killers who have a head and a face among the big forces. β
"Of course, you didn't do anything with the teacher? If it weren't for the fact that this time things were a little hasty, we could have quietly incorporated the killer meeting into our hands. Instead of having thirty percent of the members of the Killer Guild split up, as is the case now. β
For what Kova said, Li Kai just chuckled: "More than that." In addition to the thirty percent who are against, I guess more killers are still watching or ignoring it. For killers after all. They don't care who leads it at all. They only care about their own interests, so knowing that the killers will continue to operate normally, then most of the killers will not pay attention to what the higher-ups do. β
Li Kai's words made Kova smile bitterly, because just like Li Kai said, almost half of the people in the killer guild didn't care about what happened, they still should eat and drink, take tasks and tasks, and take their own things when they should receive their own things.
They are used to eating and waiting to die, and they don't want to know what is going on. It is precisely because of this that neither Kova nor Bloodblade have been able to successfully deal with the matter of the Killer Guild.
But they are not in a hurry, anyway, after the battle of unification on the surface is over, they can concentrate on dealing with the remaining old things of the Killer Guild. So now it's just a matter of giving them no time to make some changes.
Don't worry too much about the rest. Li Kai and Kova walked towards Sauron the Great's palace.
As he walked, Li Kai said, "Kova, I'm going to try it on top of the killing rules in a few years."
"Huh?"
The walking Kova was stunned, but then smiled: "Aren't you planning to follow the dark rules?" Why are you going to get a kick in the killing rules? β
Li Kai smiled slightly: "Although the rules of killing are not very in line with my line, the rules of killing are also a kind of rules that everyone can actually understand, and it is not a rule that requires a profession very much, so I was not interested in it originally." But since the killing rules are going to be god-king level rules from the beginning, then I won't just give up. You have to work hard. β
