The masts were cut off, the cannons and weapons, as well as the soldiers who resisted were all thrown into the sea. This was what happened to the people who were not killed by Li Ke.
"Why do I feel like it's better to just kill me?"
The captain whose face was smeared with brain matter by Li Ke looked at his empty ship and couldn't help but mutter in a low voice. If Li Ke killed most of the people here and then left, then the captain wouldn't be severely punished. But in this situation where only one soldier died and the cannons on the ship were directly thrown into the sea ….
This kind of situation can be regarded as a disgrace in Noxus, so even if he wasn't killed by Li Ke, he wasn't safe. In the subsequent investigation, if he couldn't give a perfect answer to his superior, then he would be directly labeled as' incompetent 'in politics. In the future, he would live a very uncomfortable life until his death.
After all, he wasn't a guy with powerful martial arts or superb skills. He was just one of the forces of his family in the navy. When he was free, he would win over the civilian officers, then use his aristocratic privileges and connections to solve some problems that the civilian officers couldn't solve. Then he could peacefully block the passing smuggling ships and reap the benefits from it.
So once he was labeled as' incompetent ', his family wouldn't help him clear this label. He would live a life worse than death in the world ruled by Noxus. And with his status, if he defected, then in less than three days, the assassins of Duke Ka' o would find him.
"Oh, damn it, I really should have used my shiny leather military boots to give that monster's butt a good kick."
Looking at Li Ke who flew to another ship, the captain said this sentence with emphasis from his favorite book. He was already thinking about what to do. It was impossible to say that a flying monster had killed one of them and only disarmed them. He had to think of something that had a physical object in this area that the higher-ups were willing to believe. It had to be something that could do what they had encountered.
Hmm ….
"For example, the Shurima natives, the legendary Celestial Warriors? Immortality, boundless strength, and miraculous magic. The higher-ups should like this description, right? But isn't it too old-fashioned? As long as it's a country, there will be such a thing in their land. It's easy to fool them …. "
He pretended to look at his colleague's ship and watched Li Ke do what he did on his ship. Then he felt a little relieved, because if he was the only one who could do it, then it definitely wouldn't be possible. But if the captains of the three ships said the same thing, then it would definitely be possible. And when the time comes, their superior wouldn't have the guts to directly attack the officers of the three noble families, so it should be over with a civilian.
Thinking of this, the noble officer finally let out a sigh of relief. But when he looked at Li Ke's back, new doubts appeared..
"He said he has something for me to do, and he said I understand …."
He pondered for a long time until Li Ke cut off the mast of the ship and flew towards the last ship. Then he raised his head blankly. Looking at Li Ke's back, he really wanted Li Ke to directly explain what he wanted him to do.
Inform the secret service? Or don't want him to be wanted? Or cooperate with his performance to hunt him down?
Can you explain it clearly?
You said the emperor's secret, and then you didn't explain it clearly. How do you want people to understand?
The captain, whose mind was full of questions, began to let his imagination run wild. Knowing the depth of Noxus' bureaucracy, cold sweat slowly seeped out. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was something very fishy about this matter. However, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't understand. This made him feel very conflicted, and he felt that he might have fallen into a whirlpool that people like him shouldn't fall into. His heart was so scared that it started to pound.
He wasn't scaring himself. He clearly remembered something that he would never forget. He once had a friend, a young noble who loved Noxus very much. Because he said that the emperor was a little too enthusiastic about magical items, he was even a little negligent in government affairs. The next day, he was assassinated by Duke Ka 'o's assassins for treason. He clearly remembered his friend's head hanging on the city gate. His eyes were filled with confusion and disbelief. He didn't want to follow in his friend's footsteps.
But fortunately, Li Ke flew away after he finished letting his imagination run wild. This made Yatos urge his soldiers to hurry up and meet the nobles on the other ships to discuss this matter with them. This was to prevent them from being killed because of this strange matter. Li Ke also landed on his boat, and as soon as he landed, he deactivated Yatoku's Dark Kin transformation amidst Yatoku's complaints.
"You only killed six people. If you do this again, don't call me."
After Yatos finished speaking, the red substance on Li Ke's body fell off completely. He looked at Sarah a little guiltily, but his face remained calm.
"I'm sorry, Sarah. I was a little impulsive, but we'd better leave this place as soon as possible. Although I'm sure they won't come after us in a day or two, it's hard to say after a week."
Li Ke made a judgment based on the knowledge he didn't want to use at all. Although he used a seemingly nonsensical method to obscure their identities and achieve a deceptive effect, this kind of clumsy deception wouldn't last long. Even though he had tried his best to make up for the consequences of his impulsiveness, the people of Noxus weren't incompetent either. The assassins, who had begun to faintly oppose the military nobles, wouldn't let go of anything that targeted these nobles. When the military nobles were in trouble, the political nobles who weren't military nobles, as well as other nobles, would also join forces to suppress the military nobles who had the most powerful military nobles. The hereditary military nobles would also take this opportunity to warn and attack the military nobles who were promoted from commoners.
Therefore, this clumsy arrangement couldn't fool the Noxus people for too long. It would take them at most a week to confirm the specific process of this matter, and then they would send people to pursue them.
Unless the person in charge of this matter was a hereditary military noble sent by His Majesty, any other force would find trouble with them.
"Okay, but I'm sure you have something to tell me later, my dear."
Sarah naturally had no objections, so after she finished speaking, she pointed two pistols at the two unlucky soldiers and told them to sail the ship. Li Ke nodded and went to prepare the ship with them.
"Of course."
