Evil will not deceive you

"Mr. Li Ke, please believe me. These are the residents of Miss Jennifer's original territory. They fled here because of the war. However, Xiquan Fortress and Stormwind City cannot accommodate so many people. If we restore the west quickly, If you are producing in the wilderness, then you will not be under great pressure..."

Jonathan's face showed embarrassment... and even a flattering smile, and Li Ke finally understood why Bolvar and Varian would send a city gate general to help him.

Jonathan has some abilities. If the Defias thieves in the Western Wilderness are too fierce and tenacious, then Jonathan, who is good at defensive warfare, can use Li Ke's financial resources to build a relatively perfect defense circle. Then there are Li Ke and him. It's time for the Defias thieves to bleed each other.

However, some production can be restored, which can greatly relieve the pressure on Stormwind City.

The other is that Jonathan is smart and flexible enough, and he is very principled, even stubborn and rigid in principle.

As for Jonathan's official position, even if he offended him, he would just go back and continue to be a city gate official.

Therefore, Jonathan will do anything for the country and the people at all costs and find every opportunity.

Including helping fleeing people return to their original lands.

And now Li Ke is basically trapped in order to create his own personality.

The status of a paladin is easy to use, but unfortunately it also comes with corresponding responsibilities and social consensus.

"I know, Mr. Jonathan, I know, how could I not believe you? It's just that I didn't expect there to be so many, even so many that Xiquan Fortress can't even accommodate them. So I wonder if you can hire some more troops to escort These refugees go back and resume production? And help you build the fortress."

Li Ke followed Jonathan and Deputy Captain Rainier to the Xiquan Fortress near the Western Wilderness, and then saw a large group of densely packed tents, as well as soldiers patrolling outside the tent group, and each one using Jackal. A symbol made from his head to scare those jackals.

These people could not go to Stormwind City because Deputy Captain Rainier stopped them on orders, on the grounds that there might be Defias thieves among them.

Therefore, these Western Wilderness residents who live near Xiquan Fortress are most likely to have their own food or savings to eat. If no one accepts it, or if the chaos in the Western Wilderness is quickly quelled, they will soon become refugees.

It seemed that there were at least two to three thousand people.

Is this not stressful?

Li Ke looked at Jonathan with a subtle expression.

"But although I have many gold coins, it is not unlimited. Mr. Marcus Jonathan, my mercenary army has reached its limit. There is really nothing I can do about these civilians."

Li Ke doesn't have that much money, otherwise why would he want to sell illusion techniques.

"Perhaps you could ask someone else for help?"

Marcus Jonathan really wants to say that you can ask the Countess for it! But he still wanted to be shameless and did not reveal the speculation about Li Ke in the Stormwind City circle.

Everyone in Stormwind City speculates that Li Ke is actually the white glove of the Presto family, specially used to solve problems in the Western Wilderness. The purpose is to deepen the power and influence in Stormwind City and completely conquer Li Ke.

Otherwise, why would Countess Catalana give so many things?

If he hadn't gone to the Western Wilderness, the things Countess Katlana gave to Jennifer, or to be precise, to Li Ke, would have been enough for him to buy a large piece of good territory in Elwynn Forest, as well as several farms.

Why stick to the wild west?

So they must have asked for a lot, so these nobles thought about it, and they could only think that Li Ke was the white glove of the Presto family. When the time comes, as long as Li Ke and Ms. Katlana get married, they can naturally have the entire family. Westfall.

Even the head of Presto, the rumored Lord Daval Presto, the guy who might become the king of Alterac, can still rely on this territory to trade with Stormwind City without going overboard. Relying on the food of Lordaeron, you can not be so firmly on the side of Lordaeron on some things.

Of course, there are still many difficulties in achieving this goal, but for these nobles, it is very reasonable.

Because they don’t think that Lord Daval Presto will always hold on to Westfall. After all, this is an enclave, and it is still next to Stormwind City. After Stormwind City slows down, there is basically no way to escape from Stormwind. The possibility of city control.

Of course, everything depends on how everyone operates.

However, during this process, they will accept the money the Presto family spends in the Western Wilderness without hesitation!

Obviously, Bolvar and Varian were the first to take action, but this was also a normal political consideration and not excessive.

It can only be regarded as paying protection fees.

"..."

Li Ke instantly understood the meaning of all this, including the aristocratic and political considerations that he had not thought of before, so he rubbed his temples and took a deep breath.

It’s a pit, but that’s okay.

Just pay the protection fee, that's all.

It’s just that these refugees can never be brought back!

To be precise, Jonathan cannot be allowed to increase the number of soldiers in this team in the name of refugees needing protection.

Otherwise he will really go bankrupt!

"Mr. Jonathan, it won't take long for us to establish a safe base in the Western Wilderness, so we will just pick them up when the time comes. Although I don't care much about money, you should also know that it is not me who establishes the territory. My own business."

Li Ke's smile gradually became serious and became less and less genuine.

He respected Jennifer because Jennifer almost tacitly accepted that the territory and assets were his.

So he has to respect the wealth and Jennifer.

Moreover, if you agree to this request, it would not be generous.

That's stupid.

Jonathan hesitated. Although he wanted Li Ke to hire more soldiers, if Li Ke really had no money, he didn't want to put these farmers under the threat of jackals.

So, he hesitated for a moment and then spoke, no longer looking like he was in a hurry to rush to the Western Wilderness.

It's as if the Horde raids don't exist.

Although it does not exist, Jonathan's behavior is too abnormal. It seems that like Li Ke, he is sure that the orcs will not really attack the Western Wilderness.

"But, Mr. Li Ke, there are many jackals here, and these people will be your people from now on, so I think..."

"I'll handle it."

Li Ke touched the hilt of his sword.

"Give me a day, and I'll make sure the jackals around here never dare to come near again for a short time!"

Extraordinary force should be used in situations like this!

Although there are many calculations...

Just use strength to break it!

Let me tell you, although I don’t know which bastard it is.

But please don’t buy me a two-thorned monkey airplane cup or Fukada’s reverse butt mold!

The name is really guessing what I got! !

I guess you are a fairy!
