Chapter 192 Killing Two Birds with One Stone
Bolvar is not being self-effacing, but he is really not good enough. If not, he would not have put a lady like Katrana in such an embarrassing position.
She is obviously not a queen, but she still shoulders the responsibilities of a queen.
Yes, the duties of a queen.
Ms. Katrana not only often uses her family's assets to help Stormwind City tide over difficulties, but also constantly acts as a lubricant between Varian and the nobles.
If Varian wasn't still immersed in the loss of his wife, and if he also liked Ms. Katlana, he would have made suggestions to the king long ago and asked him to marry Ms. Katlana.
Ms. Katrana's skills and wealth can make the royal court of the Kingdom of Stormwind extremely stable, unlike now. Although it is not very friendly to Anduin, Bolvar believes that kindness and kindness Ms. Katlana will not let anything happen to Anduin.
After all, she has shown her affection for Anduin more than once, which is why he hides his affection.
Katrana is so suitable as the mistress of Stormwind City.
"You are better at this, Katrana. You know, my own territory is also in a mess."
He spread his hands and said he couldn't do it.
"Tsk, you guys can't put all the blame on me, but Bolvar, do you think His Majesty Varian will agree to let Mr. Li Ke and Ms. Jennifer pay to hire our army to go to the West Wilds? "
Katrana revealed a problem that troubled Bolvar.
"It's impossible, Katlana. Not to mention that such behavior is a challenge to the majesty of the kingdom. We can't spare enough soldiers now, and...who do you want to send to the Western Wilderness, Wind Thor? Although this friend of mine is suitable, he has many noble officers under his command, and these people will do anything to silence him."
Bolvar sighed. The reason why the Defias thieves are so rampant has something to do with the nobility in the city.
Originally it was a good thing that the Defias thieves did not treat the people under their control well, but these nobles made money by buying low and selling food and valuable materials at a high price. Their support and transactions directly affected the Defias thieves. The power becomes extremely exaggerated.
"But we can pay him through tax concessions and business incentives, and we can also grant him a knighthood to stimulate his fighting spirit."
Katlana pursed her lips. This was one of the things she promised Li Ke to do.
That was to regain a title and preferential treatment in Stormwind City, but she chose the least favorable one.
Just throw money at it.
And offended those nobles who relied on Defias thieves to make a fortune.
"Westfall is not a good place right now, and you should know, Bolvar, that is a powerful paladin."
Bolvar's expression became serious. He did see the bright and excessive holy light on Li Ke. He had never seen such a powerful paladin.
"But he did offend Varian's friends, and his relationship with His Highness Tenaris is not very good. Even because of this relationship, Varian will not let him actually control the Westfall, let alone Once it is recovered, it will become the breadbasket of the entire Kingdom of Stormwind...and although he is a Paladin, his status is indeed not qualified to do this."
Bolvar knew what Katrana meant. Such things were common in human history, that is, paying a certain king to hire an army, and then using these armies to secure a territory for himself.
Such things are very common, but most of them are descendants of nobles. Commoners like Li Ke are indeed not qualified.
"It's so rigid. That's why I hate dealing with nobles."
Katrana sighed, while Bolvar smiled and shook his head.
"If those nobles knew that the most beautiful rose in Stormwind City said such words and knew that you didn't like them, they would be sad."
"If their sadness can bring gold coins to Stormwind City, I can stand on the street every day and tell them I don't like you."
Onyxia said casually, but she couldn't help but laugh at Bolvar, because the reason why Stormwind City is short of money is because of her. Why did those nobles welcome her? Not only because of her political skills, but also because she will help these nobles cover up some things that are not very friendly to them.
The spy agency of the Kingdom of Stormwind is too weak and imperfect. They have no secrets at all in front of their servants.
"What about the weapons? Let King Varian give the order so that he can form a militia force to protect his own territory, and open our arsenal to him, give him some discounts, and then give some business and tax revenue Is that a preferential policy? And I will remind him to let him solve the problem of Defias thieves by himself, and he can keep all the Defias supplies he gets during the process. And we can give him Divide some territories, rather than increase Ms. Jennifer’s territory, and give him a real title.”
Onyxia came up with another plan.
Bolvar thought carefully. Although this would give Li Ke a powerful weapon, as long as the problem of the Defias thieves was solved, the problem of the Western Wilderness would also be solved.
Moreover, during the confrontation with the Defias thief, Li Ke's power will inevitably decrease, and he can easily weaken his threat.
Of course, if the other party is a friendly person who is loyal to the Kingdom of Stormwind, then it will not be a problem.
"This is a good idea, but Katrana, the problem is that we don't have enough armaments now..."
As soon as Bolvar finished speaking, he saw the smile on the corner of Katlana's mouth.
"But dwarves do, don't they?"
He was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"Yes, dwarves do."
How could he forget that their king had a very good relationship with the dwarf kingdom?
As long as your king speaks, it is not difficult to replenish a batch of military supplies cheaply from the dwarves.
"Then let's advise His Majesty Varian together."
Bolvar stood up excitedly.
"my pleasure."
Onyxia was still smiling, because she knew very well.
This will only make Stormwind City weaker, after all...
Who told the officer that the person who deals in arms is also a noble that she supports?
These people are not going to pass up this opportunity.
Killing two birds with one stone again.
