Chapter 790: Surrender

Although Li Ke's determination is strong, the development of the empire has to come step by step.

In these days of extreme chaos in the empire's political arena, Sylvanas's life is not very good.

"We once trusted you so much, Sylvanas, and you, Sylvanas, should be here the most."

A detained blood elf looked at Sylvanas in front of him and spoke indifferently.

"I know."

Sylvanas nodded silently. It was true. Many of these elves' corruption was instigated by her, but Li Ke did not settle accounts with her, but settled accounts with all those who executed them.

She became a de facto lonely person.

"But there is no way, right?"

The blood elf raised his head. He knew that this should not be blamed on Sylvanas, but on the will of all of them. Everyone decided to let Sylvanas acquiesce in their corruption, and then ensure that they can use these extra arcane crystals to bribe those nobles, and then let those nobles be honest and accept the orders and rule of the empire.

But now it seems...

"We took too much, and we went the wrong way before. We should have killed them directly."

The blood elves drank the wine brought by Sylvanas and looked seriously at Sylvanas, who was extremely sad.

"We really went the wrong way, Sylvanas. We used to think that Li Ke was just like other kings, balancing the interests of everyone and satisfying everyone, but we forgot that he was essentially the empire. His power was enough to destroy all of us. Everything we indulged came from his indulgence and kindness, and now..."

He couldn't help but smile bitterly. The idea of ​​letting Sylvanas have an heir and consolidate the position of the blood elves was a collective decision made by them. They even forced Vereesa and many elves to marry Li Ke for this.

They even deliberately killed Turalyon's family so that Alleria and Turalyon would break off their relationship and marry Li Ke to achieve the special attributes of the three sisters.

After all, everyone knows that Li Ke is lustful.

They also don't want Sylvanas to become the leader of the empire directly, so they do this.

But the problem is...

They have never seen clearly what kind of person Li Ke is. In essence, Li Ke and Arthas are still the same kind of people. They only see the future they see.

The only difference is that Li Ke treats everyone as human beings and follows the rules, while Arthas does not follow the rules and does not treat other races as human beings.

Moreover, Li Ke is much more tolerant than Arthas.

But unfortunately, most of his compatriots only know how to curse Li Ke at this moment, and even dare to curse him in front of Li Ke, but dare not mention Arthas and the Burning Legion.

"Now, I can only be thankful that our clan is now on the verge of extinction, and the natural admiration for the strong will continue to worship Li Ke... Sylvanas, you must keep going, Sylvanas... The offspring in your belly is the hope of our clan's future, don't let us down."

Sylvanas couldn't help laughing when she heard these words. She was helpless in many things, and many times she was forced to indulge these people in order to get the support of the clan.

And now, the person who had always wanted to oppose her and replace her actually said such words.

"You said a lot, but there is only one sentence that I agree with."

Sylvanas stood up. She already had Li Ke's offspring in her belly. She was no longer suitable to stay in other places for a long time. She came here in the end only because these blood elves could not make up for the magic crystals they consumed and were about to be shot.

And she knew very well that the souls of these people would not be wasted. There was a high probability that they would be sent to the hands of Li Ke's allies in the world of death, so that they would be tortured forever.

"Maybe at that time, I strongly suppressed those nobles and those opponents. Now there will be fewer deaths, and it will be better for our race."

Watching the crying blood elves being taken away one by one by the watcher jailers, listening to their voices cursing herself and Li Ke, Sylvanas took a deep breath.

"But I will continue to lead the blood elves forward, because I cannot deny my bloodline."

She felt that Li Ke was using her to scare the monkeys, because Li Ke knew that his people would definitely not be able to help themselves when faced with the authority to control materials.

But she was also desperate, because this was inevitable.

Because Li Ke sent all the materials they applied for, too many of the original nobles embezzled them.

Although some nobles with clear minds did not do so, as she wanted to use the resources of the empire to win over those people, many people also relaxed their vigilance.

The result of relaxing vigilance is death.

Those who can make compensation are only sentenced to imprisonment and deprived of the possibility of participating in politics, and even cannot participate in politics for three generations, which has declared the death of political life.

What should the elves do next?

Sylvanas knew it very well, and she knew that many races knew it very well.

That is to follow Li Ke's framework completely, and don't think that you can exploit legal loopholes.

Just like this time, Li Ke clearly gave them an unlimited amount of resources to apply for, but they still embezzled it...

Obviously you just need to apply for more...

It’s not that Li Ke didn’t give them a way to survive, it’s that they were looking for death themselves.

So after Sylvanas calmed down, she no longer resented Li Ke, but resented herself and her own incompetence.

If I could be firmer and kill all the guys who couldn't control me, if I could be more loyal to Li Ke's love.

But it's too late to say anything now. Li Ke gave up guarding them with tolerant love and a fellow traveler, and instead...

It's Father Yan.

At the same time, among the night elves.

"Will Druids no longer be able to participate in politics?"

Malfurion looked at the written documents in front of him and looked at Tyrande who was gently touching his belly with complicated eyes.

But it was Fandral Staghelm on the side who answered him.

"Actually, it's not. It's just that we can no longer claim that nature is everything. But don't worry, Malfurion. It's not that Li Ke doesn't respect nature. On the contrary, his city planning also respects nature and other things very much." life, and the harmony between man and nature, what he forbids is the worship of gods.”

Malfurion asked suspiciously.

"You mean, the Wilderness Demigod?"

Staghelm nodded. He had no prejudice against Tyrande and Malfurion since he took over the power, because these two people were very sensible and did not compete for power.

And he also knew very well that these two people didn't care at all...

In fact, this is what annoys him the most, because this is simply putting someone in the position who shouldn't be in the position.

"Yes, in Li Ke's view, the Druid's Way is actually a philosophical thought that explores the relationship between man and nature, so believing in something is nothing, as long as you pass the political and ideological examination, and do not With any religious or Force leanings influencing policy, that's not a problem."

His words made Malfurion breathe a sigh of relief. He knew what the new term Force Tendency meant. After all, there were descriptions of these things in the Book of Holy Words.

Moreover, there is a review mechanism for new officials and policies, and most of the druids who are willing to join politics are not the kind of religious lunatics, so this will not have much impact on the druids.

That is to say, it has a greater impact on those druids who serve the wilderness demigods.

but……

This will undoubtedly further divide the Druid community.

Malfurion immediately thought of various druid groups expelling each other from the druid groups, but this was something no one could do.

His attitude towards nature is normal development and harmonious development. They will not accuse mortals of cutting down trees, as long as they don't waste it like those orc bastards!

Malfurion immediately thought of the trees that had been cut down by the orcs and left there to rot, and the veins in his brain jumped again.

He is a standard member of the faction that protects nature so that people living in this world can live a better life. Otherwise, the night elves would not have to develop.

Therefore, Li Ke still agrees with Li Ke's approach of protecting the environment as much as possible. If this situation could be maintained, he wouldn't mind helping Li Ke open up the forest and so on.

After all, humans are also part of nature.

"In that case, I have no objection."

Malfurion nodded, but the Moon God Priests all looked at Tyrande.

Many of them joined Li Ke's government department because of Tyrande's call, but now they have to choose between Luna and Li Ke...

But Tyrande just touched his belly and spoke to his lieutenants.

"Belief in Li Ke is also belief in the Moon God. He is the husband of the Moon God, and also my husband... So although you will give up your belief in the Moon God, working for Li Ke is actually helping the cause of the Moon God. . Of course, it is not a wrong thing to continue to believe in the moon god. These are two equal paths, and the power of the moon god will also favor those who follow Li Ke's path."

The Moon God priests were silent. They looked at Tyrande's belly. They could all clearly sense that in Tyrande's belly, there was a power that was almost a part of the Moon God, as well as another kind of sacred power.

So after a moment of silence, they nodded,

"We...understand."

In fact, many of these people breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, many of these priests who stayed in the temple all year round were tired of their current life and fell in love with the life in the Li Ke Empire. However, regardless of whether they abandoned the gods Reputation, or giving up hard work for the sake of arrogance and luxury. These bad reputations are actually a huge pressure on them.

But with Tyrande's endorsement, they can give up their belief in the Moon God without any scruples, stay in Li Ke's empire system, and live the life they want.

Tyrande knew this very well, but there was nothing he could do about it, because before joining Li Ke's system, the management of the night elves was basically managed by the Moon Temple.

It is also normal for impure believers to be included in it.

And there are some true believers who want to contribute their own strength to this society and this world, so her endorsement will make everyone happy.

Although……

This will also split the Moon Temple.

But it doesn't matter, neither Luna nor she cares about this.

Maiev was absent from this meeting, but she would not have any scruples. In fact, many of the Watchers were about to give up their faith in the Moon Goddess. Now, with the endorsement of the Moon Goddess and Tyrande, they had no scruples.

After Elisande became pregnant, she quickly returned to her group of Nightborne, and she launched a purge without Li Ke doing anything herself.

Not only that, she killed more people than Li Ke, and those nobles who did not show dissatisfaction with Li Ke but were likely not to join Li Ke in political positions were also killed by her.

Moreover, the privileges of the Nightborne nobles were abolished on the spot, and the title of nobles was only the glory of the past. She suddenly became someone who helped the civilians to uphold justice.

And it was not just her, most of the people who went to Li Ke's city with her also became representatives of chivalry and fearlessness of power.

Similarly, Queen Azshara also changed rapidly.

"Everything will be done according to the rules and regulations in the future."

Looking at the golden light column in the distance, Azshara felt more and more scared, because she could not understand how powerful Li Ke was. Even if she could see Li Ke at this time, she still felt nothing.

But Li Ke did exist and could sense everything in the world anytime and anywhere.

"Let those who usually oppress their own people, or those who like to eat intelligent creatures, end their lives on their own, or drive them out...Vashj, the times have changed again...Li Ke's tolerance period has passed. If we want to continue to survive, we must obey all his wills. Go..."

Vashj nodded, but she also felt a sense of relief.

It's not that she wants to leave Azshara. Her admiration and loyalty to Azshara are from the heart. Many people have directly resigned from their public office and plan to serve Azshara wholeheartedly.

Because in their hearts, their gods and beliefs are Azshara. So Vashj asked carefully.

"Your Majesty, can your child..."

Azshara stroked her belly. This was the child other than the one Li Ke had mentioned. No one knew when he would be born, but there was no doubt that her child would be more talented in magic than most people!

"He has tolerated me a lot, Vashj... and at this moment, he..."

Azshara couldn't help but shudder, because she was not afraid of the Li Ke of the past, but only the Li Ke of the present.

And, she felt a little melancholy.

"...No longer the mortal who loves to laugh."
