Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Low-ranking Officers of Noxus
However, while most of the people in the Kinkou Sect were still struggling to stabilize the spiritual realm, Li Ke had also landed on the land of Ionia. What made Li Ke breathe a sigh of relief was that Ionia...
In fact, it's not like his hometown.
If the Ionia information provided by Noxus and some heroes still have elements of the Celestial Dynasty, then the Ionia Li Ke saw actually had very few elements of the Celestial Dynasty, more like Han.
The fusion monsters of Japan, Thailand and Vietnam, although they are indeed very similar in many places due to the spread of culture in their hometown, but Li Ke saw those buildings, the iconic clothes and the generally excessive height.
After seeing his cheekbones and sallow complexion, he knew that this place was no match for his hometown.
"I feel a lot more relieved inexplicably."
Li Ke let out a breath, but then he saw a bunch of Ionians dressed in Noxian services and a typical Noxian walking towards their fleet. The leader
When the Noxian saw Li Ke, he first showed an expression of disdain, but after seeing Li Ke's appearance clearly, his expression turned into an expression of admiration in an instant.
"This is your admirer, but he looks down on the weak Ionians."
Nora told the reason in time, and at this time, the commander of this area also came to Li Ke and made a Noxian military salute to Li Ke.
"Welcome to Lyken, General Reinhardt. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide enough Noxian soldiers to greet you. After all, our losses here are very large, and it is difficult to allocate enough Noxian soldiers."
Our own soldiers.”
He regretted that he could not greet his idol with heroic Noxian soldiers. After all, not everyone can single-handedly bring a kingdom into the territory of Noxus. But for Li Ke, what he saw
In the memory that I came across, it was this officer who ordered the soldiers to massacre and threw the alchemical poison into the village that had no ability to resist. However, this lack of ability to resist is doubtful for the time being. After all, even farmers in Ionia can do it.
He has magic hands. But this does not prevent him from feeling disgusted with this officer and wanting to kill him with a sword.
"I don't think that's because you threw alchemical poison at your own soldiers, right?"
He spoke sarcastically, but the officer who greeted him did not show any dissatisfaction, but showed an expression of shame and sadness.
"This is a magical land, General Reinhardt. This is also the reason for my own lack of ability, because if I don't do this, then my predecessor will learn from the past. They will cause an earthquake at night.
Bury all of us directly. I was just a troop transport officer before, but now that I have become a commander due to wartime laws, I have the obligation to bring back the soldiers I brought... The enemy sheds blood and treats the soldiers who must die.
It's better to be cruel than to let the surviving soldiers die miserably, right?"
Li Ke didn't say anything. Nora on the other side took over and asked the Noxian to prepare supplies for them and a place to live. After all, although not everyone in Li Ke's fleet would come down to live, they were still
It was a big project, so she had to use the authority granted by her military rank to make the Noxian camp in Lyken operational and serve them.
Li Ke also saw the Ionians who surrendered to Noxus. He found that when these Ionians looked at him again, there was a light of hope in their eyes, but when they looked at the Noxians,
But their faces were fearful, and when they looked at the Ionians who were obviously slaves, their faces were full of excitement and violence. They believed in the various creeds of Noxus even more than the Noxians.
, and fully fulfilled various imperial punishments, smashing various weapons on their original compatriots, urging them to serve themselves, the Noxian nobles.
This scene made him feel an unbearable nausea. Familiar people and unfamiliar land made him feel the confusion of time and space that he had not seen for a long time. It was really unbearable until he entered the camp prepared for him.
, he didn’t say another word.
Because he knew very well that these people were weak by Noxian standards, let alone the Noxian officer who was the invader. Even he found these people extremely disgusting, but he also knew that these cultures
People who are not high-level are just trying to survive, but no matter what, those who bully their compatriots even more than the invaders are just scum and scum everywhere.
Their only ending is to be consumed as cannon fodder on the battlefield, and will not be truly considered Noxians. And those Ionians who will be sincerely absorbed by Noxus and become Noxians,
They either have a strong will and have to join Noxus for some reason, or they are powerful in their own right.
And none of these people were destined to die on the battlefield fighting their own compatriots, and suffered the double contempt and hatred of Noxus and Ionia, and eventually became more twisted and perverted, making more
Let more of the things that make you look down upon and hate come out.
This is a very twisted sin, and it is also the inevitable outcome of their betrayal of their compatriots. No matter how gorgeous the words and reasons are, they will always bear this sin.
But these have nothing to do with Li Ke now. As long as his plan succeeds, the twisted chain will be temporarily ended. The only thing that makes him other than that is that during the dinner here, he was in front of that woman.
The evil man he saw in his memory who ordered the massacre of civilians and polluted all the farmland with poison asked him a very interesting question.
"Do you think we can really make Noxus become more powerful by constantly launching such wars?"
The officer asked this question after drinking a lot of wine. In Noxus, the person who asked this question would undoubtedly suffer the most tragic end, because no legion superior would think
If there was such a low-level officer, they would not let him survive, and people who could become officers would naturally understand this truth, but he still asked.
"I have no intention of questioning the commander-in-chief. I just think that we have a better way. After all, your achievements are so great, but we have not gained anything from this land."
His eyes were a little confused, but he continued talking.
"I kept transporting soldiers here, who had dreams of letting their families live a good life, making Noxus richer and stronger, and letting these farmers have their own goals, but I didn't see any
No one succeeded. None of the soldiers I sent returned to Noxus, and none of them could meet their families again. Although our weapons and equipment have become more abundant and advanced, I can see
There are more and more underfed orphans in the empire. And even if these Ionians surrender to us, they are not willing to believe in our will... Why is this? Could it be that those who embrace Noxus
Are the young people of the will also weak? Is their elimination deserved? Have we...really made Noxas stronger?"
The officer's voice was a little ethereal. He used his greatest courage to ask this question, because after he said this, he was almost certain to die, but he really only wanted to know one answer, and that is, these efforts and sacrifices, really
Can he bring something useful to the country he believes in?
However, Li Ke's answer also surprised him, because Li Ke gave him a question that should have been answered long ago.
