Ten minutes later.
"How long do you think it will take for Demacia to collapse?"
Mai Yisha suddenly asked this question as they continued to move towards the agreed place. Li Ke, who was driving the carriage, was stunned for a moment. He did not have an answer to this question, but he was sure that after the battle between him and Demacia, there would be no Demacia in the future.
"I don't know, but if there are no accidents, I don't think it will take longer than the agreed time."
He was still very confident about this. Mai Yisha, on the other hand, laughed softly. As the eyes and ears of the gods, she could see many things from the perspective of the gods. She was more clear about the current situation of Demacia than Li Ke.
She looked at the scene of those who were caught for harvesting the food created by Li Ke and the soldiers who wantonly confiscated the weapons that grew out of the ground and forbade the Demacians from keeping them. She could not help but laugh. When the food was confiscated, although the Demacians were a little resentful, they were not very angry. This was because the food that Li Ke gave them could not be harvested completely. There were also some remote areas that were not well-informed. They really thought that this was the blessing of the gods for Demacia.
Therefore, even if the food that they secretly harvested was confiscated, these people did not care. At most, they would be more secretive in their next operation and not be discovered by others. It was just working for free. The peasants of the Middle Ages still had some resistance to this.
Moreover, the soldiers of Demacia would not let the civilians under their protection be forced to starve to death while looking at the streets full of food. Therefore, the inspection was not very strict. Therefore, the impact of the food on Demacia was not very serious. It was only the vicinity of the central capital that was very strict due to political factors, which led to the starvation of many people.
Of course, whether these people died to obey the laws of Demacia or for other reasons was not clear. In any case, most of them were widows and people with money but no power.
However, the weapons were different. These wooden weapons were not only of good quality, but also could help the Demacians resist the raging magical beasts and those with bad intentions. Many of them also had precious gems and ores. Even the most worthless iron ore was a huge asset to the ordinary civilians.
This was the Middle Ages. Even in the Middle Ages of the magical world, it was still very difficult for farmers and civilians to use enough iron. The price of iron was still very high. What's more, under the power of Lady Gaia, the blades of these weapons had a large amount of gold and gems, which were solid currency.
However, the soldiers of Demacia had received orders to forcibly confiscate the loot and forbid the peasants and other civilians from having any private stashes. They were also not allowed to go to other places to sell at this time. As for leaving Demacia, that was even more impossible.
Even if it was just one or two strands, he would still tolerate it. After all, this was ill-gotten wealth and was against the law. However, all the gold and gems in the backyard were taken away unconditionally for reasons of 'magic'. What they got in return were just some old sesame seeds and rotten grains. It was easy to imagine the resentment in the hearts of the ordinary people who yearned for a better life.
Especially when they saw that the weapons were growing very slowly, far slower than the food. The resentment in their hearts grew even more.
It was impossible for farmers to be farmers for the rest of their lives, especially when there was a pile of gold and precious stones in front of them. They would not accept such a fate. So …
Looking at the Demacian farmers who attacked the soldiers, and now the Demacian bandits, the smile on Mai Yisha's face became even stranger. She always felt that this scene was very funny and laughable. The deep-rooted bad habits of humans could always be vividly displayed at this moment. However, this did not seem to be a deep-rooted bad habit, but the efforts of their own future and the next generation.
So, this was really interesting.
"You gave them food to make them angry, and gave them weapons to increase their resentment and give them the power to resist, right? As long as the division between the upper, middle, and lower levels of Demacia is more severe, it will be easier for you to unify Demacia, and you will be able to easily occupy and rule this country. "
She felt that she had seen through Li Ke's plan. This man was indeed scheming for the entire world. This plan was closely linked, and he could not achieve this effect without any one of the links. So, when he told her that he did not think too much about it, he was indeed lying to her. This man was still wary of her, trying to mislead her into the wrong conclusion!
Not only that, in order to mislead her, this man would often do some foolish things. One look and she could tell that he was trying to make her misunderstand him even more!
Mai Yisha wanted to think so, but in the end, she sighed.
"But you hit the nail on the head this time, didn't you? I think in the beginning, you just wanted them to have the power to resist. When you gave the order, you did not take the value of those things into consideration. "
Li Ke tilted his head, not wanting to answer this question.
Because what Mai Yisha said was true.
It seemed that because he was too strong in this world, his brain, which should have also evolved, was almost full of muscles. Many problems that required careful thinking to solve no longer required thinking, he would subconsciously not think and instead use the simplest and most crude methods to solve them.
It was like Batman looking at Superman and asking him 'What if you make a mistake?'. And Superman would reply, 'I have a way to make up for it.' And then, he would perform in front of Batman what it meant to fly around Earth and reverse time on Earth.
When one was too strong, thinking was indeed not that important.
"Something like that. When I gave the order, I really didn't think too much about it. I thought they would use some iron ore and stone, but I didn't expect them to use all kinds of precious minerals and gems."
Li Ke was very satisfied with his ability to create things. His original idea was to make some super high-quality stone weapons, but he did not expect his two Dependents to be able to do it to this extent, almost creating a legend.
"Ah, the gap between people is really …"
The corner of Mai Yisha's mouth twitched. She recalled her past. At that time, she had to calculate every single thing in order to achieve her goal. Li Ke, on the other hand, could always hit the mark by a stroke of luck. But she also knew that there was actually a very important thing hidden in front of this' hit the nail on the head '.
"Actually, this isn't really a surprise. The Demacian civilians have a very narrow path of ascension, so as long as we give them a path that will definitely be taken away and let them dream of a better life after they reach the upper class, when the upper class of the other side takes away these ascension paths, they will use their actions to tell them that they will always be civilians, and that their descendants can only be ordinary farmers who will live the same life as you and have to go through everything you go through. Then, it will be easy to cause conflict."
Li Ke paused for a moment before continuing.
"There's nothing crueler than taking away hope, so even if I didn't think of it at the moment, I would have done it later. I just didn't expect my Dependents to be so capable."
Three days ago.
"I don't understand, Zhao Xin. Why did Father suddenly ask me to go on a study trip with you? Shouldn't I be in the capital with him to appease the people?"
Walking on a small path in the countryside, Carwyn looked at his father's most trusted guard, who was also his teacher, Zhao Xin. This Ionian wasn't as weak and unreliable as the people of his country. Instead, he had the rare honor of being a Demacian, which was why Carwyn respected him a lot.
But this was only because Zhao Xin was strong and could easily defeat him. Carwyn was confident that he could surpass Zhao Xin. In his opinion, as long as he learned Zhao Xin's techniques and grew for a period of time, Zhao Xin wouldn't be a match for him.
Therefore, even though Zhao Xin was a teacher and Jiawen respected him, Jiawen treated Zhao Xin as an equal. He didn't treat Zhao Xin as a teacher.
Of course, this was an advantage for a prince and a crown prince. Regardless of whether it was Zhao Xin or anyone else, they were all very satisfied with this.
But Carwyn still didn't understand why his father would make such a decision. In his opinion, Zhao Xin should have stayed by his father's side to protect him. After all, the war was imminent and Zhao Xin was the only one who could fight Li Ke to a draw and pose a threat to him.
Moreover, his father sent him on a study trip with the royal guards that he had known since he was a child. No matter how he looked at it, it was strange.
Wasn't Demacia supposed to win? Why would his father do this?
"His Majesty wants you to understand the suffering of the people in the war and the harm that magic can do to our country. Also, you've reached the age to witness a real battle."
Mai Yisha suddenly asked this question as they continued to move towards the agreed place. Li Ke, who was driving the carriage, was stunned for a moment. He did not have an answer to this question, but he was sure that after he fought with the forces of Demacia, there would be no more Demacia.
"I don't know, but if there are no accidents, I don't think it will take longer than the time I agreed on."
He was still very confident about this. Mai Yisha, on the other hand, laughed softly. As the eyes and ears of the gods, she could see many things from the perspective of the gods. She knew the current situation of Demacia better than Li Ke.
She looked at the images of the people who were caught harvesting the food created by Li Ke and the soldiers who wantonly confiscated the weapons that grew out of the ground and forbade the Demacians from keeping them. She couldn't help but laugh. This was because when the food was collected, although the Demacians were somewhat resentful, they were not very angry. This was because the food that Li Ke had bestowed upon them could never be completely harvested. There were also some remote areas that were not well-informed. They truly believed that this was the blessing of the heavens for Demacia.
