"A real tyrant? We've seen a lot. "
The leader of the group felt a little guilty, but he didn't show it because he felt that the King had noticed that they weren't part of the Ministers' faction.
That's right. These people who came to assassinate the King weren't part of the Ministers' faction. They were purely Demon Hunters' faction. Although they were also part of the Ministers' faction, they didn't have the same interests as the Ministers. Because among the Ministers' faction, he was more inclined to win over the new nobles who didn't have their own factions among the Demon Hunters.
After all, the Royal Family was still the biggest faction among the Demon Hunters.
As for them …
Of course, they couldn't just sit back and watch the Ministers achieve their own plans by controlling Carvin and the Royal Family. Although they all wanted to sell Demacia for a good price, they had their own ideas on how to sell it and how to split it. They didn't want to put all the blame on the old King. They wanted to use this period of time to force the new King to ascend the throne and successfully obtain enough positions in the new King's hands.
These positions might or might not be useful, but they would have a righteous status. When the time came, no matter how Li Ke treated them, it wasn't a bad thing to have these things in their hands. In the worst case scenario, they could use these things to make a fortune in Demacia and escape before Rhode took control of it.
But first, they had one more thing to do.
"Are you ready? The King Slayer that we've chosen. "
The leader unsheathed his sword and looked at the woman behind him. She smiled and stepped aside, revealing a middle-aged man with lifeless eyes. This middle-aged man was naturally chosen from among the civilians. He was a man who lost his wife and his son was discovered to be a Magician. He was also a man who lost his soul after being captured by the Demon Hunters.
To be honest, they looked down on this man. He lost his soul after losing a son. Why didn't he take advantage of this righteous status to marry another wife and have another child so that the child could grow up better in the name of a heroic family? That was why most of them felt that this man was useless. He was a piece of trash.
"A piece of trash has its uses. His unreasonable anger will help us open a new era. The Ministers' rule will be broken. And we will obtain the key. "
A sinister smile appeared on the man's face. However, the man who was brought over did not have any doubts at all. He took the sword from the man and thought that he had picked up the sword from the ground because he was under the influence of magic.
Everything here would be regarded as the work of the court minister, and although he knew it wasn't, he was the biggest beneficiary. In this case, the royalists who chose to remain neutral after Jiawen the Third secretly sent his heir away couldn't sit still anymore. They would definitely do their best to support the new king.
As for the court minister, he was the one who would benefit the most from having the prince. Not only would he be able to legitimately ban the Demacians from eating those magical plants, but he would also be able to make a huge profit from his food business. This would also allow him to become the most powerful person in the kingdom. He wouldn't suspect the Demon Searchers who had the same goal as them. He would most likely think that it was done by the Royalists.
It couldn't be helped. What Jiawen the Third did was too much. Sending away an heir wasn't a big deal. Many people were doing it. However, to do it behind the back of your own faction and not inform a single person, that was too much. All these years, Jiawen had owed a lot of money and favors to the Royalists because of the war. Especially this time, where they had to return empty-handed. This time, they were hurt the most.
And it was obvious that Jiawen the Third didn't have the ability to pay them back. That was why the Royalists could only get another king to pay them back. That was why the court minister didn't want the king to die. The situation would only be stable if the old king was alive.
But to put it bluntly, everyone wanted the king to die. The only difference was how they wanted him to die.
What the Demon Searchers wanted was for the king to die in the hands of a commoner who was in cahoots with a magician, or even a magician. Although this would greatly increase the power of the court minister, this power would also tear him to pieces. After all, there were many people in their faction who didn't want the king to die at this time.
So when that time came, they would have a chance.
"Let's go. Leave this place to our king and our 'hero'."
The man in the lead led the hooded men outside. They were going to leave near a lake. When they walked out of the hall, the magicians who led the people to the lake also rushed over. In the minds of the people who were bewitched by magic, the only thought left in them was to attack.
They frantically slashed at the gate with their weapons. The guards who had just arrived also rushed over. But before the hooded men left, not a single commoner rushed over. After the hooded men left, they seemed to have gained great power. They broke through the blockade of the guards and rushed to the palace where the king was.
Tiana the Royal Guard also returned at this moment. She immediately led her team and rushed over. When she tore a gap in the crowd, she saw the man in the lead laughing maniacally as he slashed the king's chest again and again. The king collapsed to the ground, his crown missing, and his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling.
The king was dead.
He died in a riot.
"What an indescribably comical show …"
Li Ke, who was watching all of this from afar, stroked his chin. He was rather surprised by the development of Demacia. This feeling of 'you fell before I even did anything', coupled with the sense of chaos at the end of the dynasty, and the slogans of Demacia, made it hard for him not to associate it with a certain country that claimed to be a lighthouse.
"Isn't this all because of your guidance?"
"No. My original intention was to let the people see the face of the ruler. But I never thought that the most serious problem in Demacia now isn't the lack of a way for the people to rise. Instead, it's the division of interest groups caused by the lack of a way for the small and medium-sized nobles to rise. It's like you're still using the S11 playstyle, but your opponents are all S2S and S3 players.Read more chapter on NovelFull
In short, it feels like an unfair victory. I gave you the script of a peasant uprising, but you acted it out as a kingdom and a song of ice and fire.
At the beginning, everything was going according to his rough plan. Many areas of Demacia were set ablaze, but the first thing to ignite was not the wasteland that was about to burn, but the battle between the nobles …
How should he put it? It feels weird.
The grievances of the common people were just starting to rise, and you nobles were going to beat your dog brains out? And the most interesting thing was that Demacia, which should not have racial conflicts at all, was having racial conflicts. Demacia, which claimed to be equal, discriminated against foreigners much more than Noxus. Although the Demacians, who were obviously much darker, had a good attitude among the civilians and lived happily with the ordinary Demacian natives, it was basically impossible for them to be officials or anything like that.
Then there were some small problems this time, and these problems were actually bigger than the problems faced by the peasants and the common people.
"I didn't think of that either. Demacia really gives people a weird feeling, but I think the biggest reason is still you."
Mai Yisha didn't expect this result. She also felt that it was strange for things to develop like this. In her era, revolts weren't rare. If a lord increased taxes for no reason, it would be easy for people to revolt. Although she felt that it was definitely related to the low food production at that time, it was rare for Demacia to directly explode when the nobles' conflicts were still at a stage where they could be reconciled.
"Now I'm really doubting if the Demacians can gather a group of warriors for me at the time I agreed on."
Taking a sip of Demacia's animal soup, Li Ke shook his head helplessly. The thought process of those demon hunters was really too simple. The current court officials, royalists, Royal Guards, as well as those neutral parties and surrenders parties were not fools. Even if they could not figure out that it was them who did it, this matter could not be kept a secret for long.
Once the truth of this matter was discovered, a civil war in Demacia would be unavoidable. The fate of Jiawen the Fourth, who was supposed to grow into a hero, would also be completely disrupted. He would either die in the chaos, or be killed by others. The chances of him surviving were really low. After all, the royal bloodline was really worthless in Demacia. Not to mention others, the court officials and the head of the Royal Guards, Tiana Royal Guards, also had the right to inherit the throne.
It was just a change of king. With the king leading the charge in Demacia, it was really not a big deal.
In other words, by the time he reached Demacia at this leisurely pace, Demacia might have completely fallen into the chaos of war.
"It doesn't really suit my interests. What I need is a relatively complete Demacia, not a Demacia that has been beaten into a mess."
Li Ke really did not have the time to build a place that could still function normally when he and Sarah were not around, like what he did in Pi City. Unless he was willing to pull Kyle out and take the risk of killing her in the upcoming battle, it would be really difficult to deal with a battered Demacia.
"So what do you plan to do? Nurture a force? Royal Guards? Or some other force? "
Mai Yisha reminded him in a timely manner and waved her hand to set up a screen. This screen displayed the territory of each country, as well as the name and introduction of each leader. Not only the king, but the leaders of each city, their policies and habits of ruling the city, as well as the local products, customs, and public opinion, were all marked in the heavenly language.
As for how Li Ke could read the heavenly language?
He had Mai Yisha as his foreign language teacher!
Of course, this screen was not very accurate, because the king of Demacia was still showing Garvin the Third, not Garvin the Fourth. Also, the ruler of Shurima was not marked as Azir, but as Sivir. Piltwof and Zu An were marked as Sarah's.
Other than that, Giant God Peak was Leona and Diana, Ionia was Irelia and Karma who were bound by some very familiar chains, Freldrod was Aichy, Sejuani and Lisandra formed a triangle. Birgivot was unsurprisingly marked as Orloi, but Shadow Island was a little strange because it was marked as Callista. Noxus was unquestionably marked as Lefran. Yes, even if Li Ke was now holding the title of Emperor of Noxus, the Gods still marked the leaders of Noxus with Lefran's image.
"Do I plan to …"
Li Ke looked at the screen that looked very much like a game interface and felt that this thing was quite suitable for meetings, so he planned to learn it and use it when the time came. At the same time, he was also shocked by the heavenly realm's understanding of humans. He looked at the leaders of the other countries, and then looked at the leader of Demacia with Garvin the Fourth's image.
Why are you the only man?
"Then Teana it is. Let her become the ruler of Demacia, and then I'll accept her surrender. That's not a bad ending for me."
Li Ke sighed slightly. He had a good impression of the Royal Guards, but unfortunately, he could only make them the so-called rebels now. But it didn't matter. When the people of Demacia lived better and better, their dirty reputation would be washed clean, and they would become heroes again. As for those aristocrats with ulterior motives who wanted to smear their reputation, he would kill them all on sight.
He, Li Ke, was the best at this kind of entertainment.
Samira nodded in response. She then tapped on the screen, and the image of the ruler of the Demacia region changed to that of Teana. Li Ke was finally able to get a closer look at this woman's face. After all, they had only met once before. And now, he realized that Teana Royal Guard was actually very beautiful in this era.
She was tall, but not bloated. Instead, she gave off a valiant feeling. Her long platinum hair was very smooth. Although she had the bearing of a superior and the toughness of a soldier because of her experience and temperament, one had to admit that she had the gentleness of a woman. Especially when she was at the most mature and charming age of a woman. She could be said to be a standard mature beauty.
After all, she would only be 40 years old ten years later. Although she was a little older now, her appearance still didn't need too much makeup to show her extraordinary beauty.
And her figure was also very good. It was impossible to tell that she was …
"Mai Yisha …"
Li Ke heaved a long sigh. He couldn't help but cover his face as he looked at Mai Yisha, who had turned Teana's image into an image of her taking a bath.
"Are you celestials all so bored? And why do you have images of her taking a bath? "
However, Mai Yisha merely chuckled. Was she going to tell him that Zooey had stolen Li Ke and his spider maid, and that she had even drawn the doujinshi manga that Li Ke was talking about? However, back then, the gods had thought that they could convince Li Ke to join them, so they didn't monitor him in this regard. This gave her a loophole to exploit.
As for Teana's image?
Couldn't a celestial have a personal hobby?
Was there anything wrong with watching beautiful girls take baths?
Was there anything wrong with that?!
