Delius's addition immediately alleviated Li Ke's lack of manpower. A large number of low-ranking and mid-ranking officers who shared the same thoughts as Delius were written down in Querieta's notebook under his recommendation. After Li Ke returned, he could immediately use these people to take over most of the duties in his territory, grasping half of Noxus in his hands.
This was Delius's reputation, as well as the connections he had built up over decades in the military. He had used his military merits to promote himself, and he had saved his colleagues more than once. He had also helped his allies who were in dire straits more than once. Even though the word 'friend' was a luxury in Noxus, it was difficult not to form a friendship with such a passionate person who carried out Noxus's will to the end. Just from the list of friends and connections he had, Li Ke could say without holding back that as long as he needed it, this person could easily gather an elite army. Furthermore, he didn't need to worry about food or military equipment. Furthermore, it was very likely that the troops that came to stop him would betray him.
Therefore, Li Ke was increasingly certain that this fellow was sent to Noxus to his death. After all, if one were to put themselves in his shoes, no emperor would allow such a person to live. Li Ke felt that the reason why Delius hadn't been assassinated was because he was extremely strong. He was also a very useful tool. Furthermore, Sven needed someone to keep him in check. Otherwise, Delius would have died a long time ago.
Furthermore, the original 'plot' between the two of them wasn't much different. Delius suffered a crushing defeat in Freldrod with countless casualties, but he didn't achieve any substantial results. He was trapped there. As for Sven, his reputation was ruined because of the battle in Ionia. Not only did he lose all his positions, but he was also crippled. It could be said that this was the best situation for Darkwill. As long as Delius and Sven 'accidentally' died one day in the future, Darkwill would be completely free of worries. He wouldn't have to worry about anyone betraying him.
But interestingly, Delius still allowed Li Ke to witness a family drama.
One afternoon, Delius was training a recruit named Desius, whom he thought highly of, in the name of punishment. Querieta happened to pass by and saw this scene. Then, the atmosphere between the mother and son who recognized his son turned abnormally awkward. And Delius, who sensed this, couldn't help but ask. Then, he learned that the recruit he thought highly of, Desius, was Querieta's son.
Then, something interesting happened. Querieta mentioned a name that Li Ke had never heard of before, saying that his daughter and son were his children. On the other hand, Teleus went silent after hearing the name. It was apparent that he took Querieta's words seriously. But he didn't express it. But when they discussed Noxus's domestic situation at night, Li Ke sharply sensed that the man was in a ridiculously bad mood. It was as though he had activated Blood Rage and Scamper and was about to go on a killing spree when he was killed instantly.
But Li Ke asked Querieta's daughter, who had always disliked him, and confirmed that she had never heard of the man that Querieta mentioned. Therefore, Li Ke dared to confirm that Querieta was indeed lying. Her child was Delius's child, but due to personal reasons, she didn't want them to acknowledge each other.
"This is really messed up …"
In Noxus's fortress, Li Ke told his maids about what he saw today. And Ah Li's ears perked up. Although Lilia didn't seem very interested, she was more or less paying attention to this matter now that she had become Ah Li's follower. But the one who was most interested was Li Ke's maid. She sat on the sofa subconsciously, picked up a glass of red wine, and crossed her legs. Then, she gently took a sip of the red wine in the glass and said in a languid and cheerful tone that made everyone look at her.
"Ah, it sounds like a tragedy with a hint of revenge. When Desius dies under Teleus' command, their relationship will become even more complicated, and the feelings they will have for each other will become even more mellow … That's stupid."
Looking at Li Ke's' well said, but you're going to die in the next moment 'expression, the pitiful Miss Spider remembered that the person she served was a gentleman who didn't like tragedies. So she swallowed a mouthful of saliva subconsciously, then smiled at Li Ke embarrassedly to make up for her complacency.
"Aren't we going to do something? Isn't it too stupid to just watch them show such a tragedy? "
Li Ke dispelled the idea of strangling this happy Miss Spider to death. Instead, he sighed.
"I can't even solve my own problems, so let's not talk about their problems."
Recalling the information that Delius told him, Li Ke couldn't help but cover his face. As a woman who was very good at reading people's expressions, Miss Spider immediately knew that Li Ke wanted to submit to her tonight. On the other hand, Ah Li keenly smelled more, fresher watermelons, so she immediately grabbed Li Ke's arm and asked.
"What's wrong? Is there anything that can make things difficult for you? "
She was really curious because in her opinion, there was nothing in this world that could make things difficult for Li Ke. Not only could he feed himself with his own soul, but he could also rule a country. Was there any problem in this world that was more difficult than this?
If there really was one, Li Ke's fists would be able to deal with the person who caused the problem.
"… My wife seems to have found another wife for me without my permission, and the person she chose is a woman that I had clearly rejected before, and even beat her up when I was being honest with her. Then, she ran away …"
Not many people cared about Freldrod's information, so Li Ke only knew what Aichy had done when he arrived at the border fortress. During his absence, not only did she succeed in signing a non-aggression agreement with the Demacians, but she also obtained the opportunity to trade and communicate with some small countries. She even reconciled with the Winter Claw tribe, and the two tribes jointly crusaded other tribes that did not obey them. With the large amount of food that Li Ke left behind and the food obtained from trade, the people who joined their tribe no longer died of starvation. And the most important achievement was to reconcile with the Winter Claw. It could be said that if it weren't for Aichy taking this step, she wouldn't have been able to do everything that came after.
However, the condition for reconciling with the Winter Claw was that their tribes had to share everything with each other. Their Battle Mothers were like sisters, and they shared each other's honor, weapons, tribes … and the blood alliance.
Yes, the blood alliance.
