Chapter Seventy-Three: Suppressing Bandits
"Of course, of course, you were wrong."
The three of them smiled, and Li Ke meant to let them make a lot of money, which was really good for them.
The new lord is a good man!
The lord's officials are really good people!
This idea appeared in their hearts, but unfortunately, Li Ke didn't mean to say anything, and just rode away on horseback.
Martin was a little confused, but went along with the tax collector.
The rest of the people too, everyone was a little confused. But because it wasn't the aristocracy, they just glanced at each other, and after agreeing on the time to get together after that, they all dispersed.
By the time Martin and the tax collector caught up with him, they found him on his way to Norman land, looking at the distant peaks and seemingly thinking about something.
Because of the reason that he was more familiar with Li Ke, Martin was pushed out for questioning, and he carefully looked at Li Ke, who was frowning and looking at the mountain, and asked.
"Well, Master Li Ke, don't you want to talk to them?"
Martin was very puzzled, Li Ke said that he wanted to talk to the people of the three major families, but he only chatted a little like this, which really made them not understand.
"Because there's nothing to talk about."
Li Ke looked at the mountain peaks in the distance and suddenly asked.
"Speaking of which, Martin, do you think the mountains over there are particularly suitable for bandits?"
"Huh?"
Martin's head was full of question marks.
He looked at the mountain over there and couldn't help but shake his head.
"No way, there's no water over there, and the terrain isn't very good, no bandits can survive there. Moreover, there are not many bandits in our territory, and if we are stationed there, we only need a knight with a team of soldiers to charge and directly exterminate them. ”
He is very aware of this matter, every year there are peasants who can't survive and go up the mountain to become robbers, but these guys who have no military literacy only need a knight to solve it.
Therefore, he still knows very well.
"In other words, it has to be the kind of very tough bandits who can be stationed on this mountain and leave everyone at a loss? Martin, if you say, what kind of robbers do we need to gather all our strength to destroy them? ”
Li Ke looked at Martin with interest.
Martin was even more puzzled, because the possibility that Li Ke said did not exist at all.
"If you are stationed in such a place, you should have at least twenty knights with three horses and full armor, plus five hundred heavily armed soldiers, or they will be defeated in less than three days, as long as the men below hold the water source."
He paused, then continued.
"However, it is impossible for bandits of this size to appear here, bandits of this size are only found on the Alterac side and near Stormwind, and most of them used to be nobles, and we in Lordaeron do not have bandits of this scale."
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 was not far from the country of death.
Moreover, even if there were, the Silver Hand Knights of all the paladins would be able to arrive within a day, and their holy light would allow them and their horses to have super toughness and endurance, and running in full gear for two days and two nights would be as easy as eating and drinking, and they wouldn't have to worry about the night, the holy light would illuminate their path.
With the distance between here and Lordaeron, the message is transmitted through the griffin here, even if it is slow, the Knights of the Silver Hand will arrive the day after tomorrow, and it is impossible for such bandits to appear.
If the Silver Hand can't be freed, Stratholme is next door, and the knights under Baron Rivendell are counted in thousands, and a knight order comes over, and the problem is solved.
But he won't tell Li Ke about this, otherwise he will eat something mixed with rice.
"That's right."
Li Ke nodded, he was afraid that there really was, and since there was none, then there was very, very much room for operation.
"So, what if there is?"
"This ......"
Martin is getting more and more confused.
"I don't know."
That's all he could answer.
"Is that everyone going to pay for the bandits? After all, the bandits endanger everyone's interests, and the lord is constantly building, so now there is no ability to clear the bandits, and the bandits do not dare to attack the lord, so they attack those merchants who are rich and unkind......"
Li Ke smiled.
Martin was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became enlightened, and the tax collector on the side opened his mouth wide, never thinking that he would be able to play like this.
"Well, I think they're going to pay someone to kill the bandits."
"Then you need a strong and trustworthy person to hire someone to suppress bandits, don't you?"
Li Ke showed a smile and looked at the tax official on the side encouragingly, and the tax official suddenly understood.
"Naturally, if this happens, if such a situation really occurs, I'm afraid it will be necessary for the lord, or you to take the lead."
Nodding, Li Ke showed a reasonable expression.
"This is natural, as the mayor of the town, it is natural to shoulder this responsibility, and when the time comes, we must all do our best and donate the money to the lord, so that the lord can come to find someone to support."
"It's nature, it's our home, after all."
The tax officer hurriedly opened his mouth and agreed, jokes, the new boss will bring everyone to make a fortune together, how can such a good thing not be done?
"That's right, as nobles and knights, we naturally have to take the lead."
Martin nodded his head in agreement.
"Not only that, but we also need to protect the townspeople, don't we?"
Li Ke smiled again.
Martin and the tax collector took a deep breath at the same time and looked at Li Ke in disbelief.
"Can you still ...... That's right! After all, it's our job to protect you! ”
Li Ke nodded.
"Then it's decided."
All three laughed silently, but the tax collector frowned.
"It's just that the kingdom has been peaceful all these years, everyone is a good neighbor, and there are no bandits."
"Yes."
Li Ke smiled.
He pointed in the direction of Lordaeron.
"Yes, and it's coming soon."
Martin and the tax collector were puzzled, they thought that Li Ke was going to let their people play bandits, but it was easy to get through this way, but looking at this posture, Li Ke had his own armament?
But Li Ke immediately dispelled their doubts.
"Don't worry, it's free, and besides, you'll definitely know this person."
Li Ke pinched the horse's belly, he still needed to observe the terrain.
"We know each other?"
Martin and the tax official looked at each other, they didn't know Li Ke before, how could they know Li Ke's people?
So they didn't understand, and they could only look at Li Ke expectantly.
And Li Ke just chuckled and didn't answer them.
After all.
Is he going to say that he intends to make Arthas a bandit?
