Chapter 839: The Unpredictable God

However, for Li Ke, there is no need to worry about matters at the god level for the time being. Although there are repeated crises in the universe, after all, he has the ability to turn the table over.

His biggest problem now lies in another thing.

Merit and deeds.

"Is this Noxus? It looks no different from the Han people."

The female general in silver robe and silver armor looked at the people around her and couldn't help but speak.

She was a woman from the royal court of the Han Dynasty who had witnessed the last rays of the Han Dynasty. She was also a female general who personally ended the chaotic times and restored peace.

However, at this moment, she was riding a horse in another time and space, and couldn't help but sigh.

The streets of Noxus reveal grandeur and dilapidatedness. The glorious buildings of the past, especially those made of black stone, illustrate the greatness of Noxus here. But at the same time, these things here, after the sedimentation of history, appear extremely desolate and decadent.

The broad and smooth road looked very grand, and could accommodate five carriages running side by side at the same time. However, this broad and smooth road was actually covered with broken stones, tiles, and a large amount of moss.

On both sides of the surrounding roads, the people were numb and had dementia-like faces.

Even when Li Ke or Liu Ke passed by, these people did not make any move. They just stared blankly at their own things or looked into the distance.

From time to time, you can see a rotting and smelly corpse in the roadside ditches or corners, some of which are children's and some are middle-aged people's, but never of the elderly.

To be exact, he didn't see the old man here.

But Li Ke knew very well that this was not because the people here respected the elderly and loved the young, but because they died before they reached old age.

As she walked into this rather dilapidated but crowded city, she immediately felt that there were already many people on the roofs around her, either on the roofs or in the shadows, looking at her.

His own purse, his own weapons and armor, his own face, and his own—

Meat.

The economy here has obviously collapsed. Farmers can no longer support themselves by farming, and social order will naturally deteriorate.

Just like the Han Dynasty she had seen, countless peasants were displaced and a large number of good family children were forced to the point where they could not survive without doing bad things.

Even the traces of ruined buildings give people a sense of vicissitudes, with marks of time and weapons everywhere.

And the ethnic groups were also very diverse. After arriving here, she saw many different ethnic groups. Just like in the early Han Dynasty, ethnic groups from all over the world could be seen in the Han Dynasty.

It's like a set of dominoes. Once the most basic things are gone, the entire system will naturally collapse. No matter how grand and vast the structure was before , when these most basic foundations are gone, the entire structure will be destroyed.

Under such circumstances, it is necessary to expand territory and feed more people by plundering food and resources, or in other words, to consume the population in this way.

However, the biggest problem is that expanding territory may not necessarily bring enough benefits, and war cannot openly involve losing, so for most people, this is also a good opportunity to change their own class.

Moreover, Noxus also maintains a rather martial culture, which is very similar to that of the Han Dynasty. That is, if you are short of money, it means that you should take up your weapons and armor, mount your horse and join the army with others to seek profits and honors.

Exchanging human heads for money is the basic system of our Han Dynasty. Even during the Dong Zhuo period, the corruption of this system was not that serious.

Dong Zhuo was able to become the Grand Tutor step by step because of his military merits. It can even be said that this man's background was quite humble. This is enough to prove that even in the last years of the Han Dynasty, the military merit system was still very strong and was not as explosive as it was later.

But what Li Ke found interesting was that these people in Noxus were much more powerful in destroying this system than the Han Dynasty. However, the strange thing was that the political situation in Noxus was much better than the Han Dynasty. However, in terms of bloodiness and policy changes, they were far behind.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the country was still able to defeat foreign enemies, until the Jin Dynasty fell into the hands of those eccentric people, and then it became completely unable to defeat foreign enemies.

But Noxus...

Everyone knows that if your kingdom is attacked by Noxus, the most likely outcome is not that you defeat the Noxians for various reasons on the battlefield, but that the Noxians kill themselves.

Such things are common, which directly leads to the fact that Noxus, which was supposed to sweep across the world, with excessively strong mobilization capabilities and even better ways to rise than other countries in the world, has become a stumbling war machine in the hands of countless people, unable to even complete a task in one go.

Because there were too many ambitious people, before Darkwill came to power, the leader of Noxus changed every five or six years. The extermination of a top family was a normal sitcom.

Maybe this is because there is no normal emperor... or maybe it's because of unification.

Although Noxus claims to be an empire, it is essentially just a federation of warlords, but their opponents are similar.

There is no normal unified empire in this world.

Freljord is a nomadic society with slavery, so there is no such thing as great unification.

Ionia is the pinnacle of the tribal system.

The parliamentary system of Demacia and a number of small countries is even more ridiculous - Lux and Garen are qualified to inherit the throne.

Even the ancient Shurima Empire thousands of years ago was actually a federation rather than a unified empire. This can be seen from the fact that Icathia was able to rebel freely.

As for Piltover, Zaun, Mount Targon, and Bilgewater, they are even more laughable. There is not even a proper ruler here.

There is no unified country, no supreme ruler who regards everyone as his own people, and no dominant ethnic group. Naturally, there is no common cultural tradition and national culture, let alone the same cultural atmosphere and view of the world.

“So, I really don’t know what I’m hesitating about.”

The female general frowned as she looked at everything on the street. In her opinion, all she had to do was sweep in all directions in this timeline to solve all this.

In the end, everyone speaks the same language, does the same things, and regards one country as a kingdom.

This is what makes Qin and Han great, and it is also the reason why she chose to help Liu Bei.

Cao Cao was a bastard. He was treacherous and if he hadn't been lucky, he would have been dead long ago.

Sun Quan is short-sighted and has no ambition. Calling him Sun Shiwan is an exaggeration to say the least. The Jiangdong gentry are bastards one after another and some even want to establish their own separatist regime. There is no need to keep them around.

Although Liu Bei had many black spots, he sincerely wanted to restore the glory of the Han Dynasty. He never massacred a city and fulfilled all the promises he made as long as he was able to do so.

It is impossible for a ruler to be without any black spots, so for her, she had no choice at the time.

If Liu Bei was also a massacrer who openly used human flesh as military rations, she would definitely chop off Liu Bei's head. At most, she would shed a few tears while doing so, and that's all.

She didn't care who was the emperor, nor did she care whether it was Han or Wei. She just found the best path for the common people.

And Noxus was just like the Han Dynasty at that time, so dilapidated that it seemed like it would fall apart with just a kick. In the Han Dynasty, the war was already going on everywhere, but...

This is a magical world.

The weak really do not have the power to resist, or to be more precise, they do not have the courage to resist.

Few people can maintain normal courage after seeing their companions being killed in a crushing manner. This is why the extraordinary people can suppress most people in this world.

They are really powerful.

so……

Li Ke, or rather Liu Ke, raised her head and stopped her horse. This horse of hers was transformed from her fighting spirit. Now, seeing the tragic scenes around it, the horse under her crotch has completely begun to transform, from fighting spirit into a real divine beast.

That's right, it's a divine beast. Although this horse looks like an ordinary white horse, its body functions are simply incomparable to those of ordinary people. Even if Liu Ke herself runs fast without bursting with energy, she may not be as fast as this horse.

Of course, there is no way she can stop herself from getting serious. If she gets serious, her strength will be infinitely improved, although the price is her lifespan.

But she doesn't have to worry about her life span now. If she is given enough time, it is not impossible for her to kill the Dragon King with one shot.

However, being the Dragon King was not her job, so there was no need for her to be so cruel.

She just raised her head quietly and looked at the people around her who were holding various weapons.

"Are you going to kill me?"

The people who gathered silently didn't say anything. The armor on the woman in front of them looked very expensive, and her weapon must be some kind of magical weapon.

The most important thing is that she is very beautiful and fair-skinned. It would be good even if she is used to vent desires, or sold, or eaten.

So they didn't say anything, but just looked at Li Ke with greedy eyes. Even the children held the daggers tightly in their hands.

"It seems that you have really been treated horribly."

Li Ke smiled slightly, her heroic face was full of a gentle smile.

"Noxus does not know how to conquer, and the four countries have no unified land. It is very easy for you to have murderous intentions when you suffer hardships, but have you ever thought that you can take back what you should have from the hands of those high and mighty people?"

She raised the gun in her hand. The problem of Noxus was simple. Those rentiers who possessed magical powers were constantly pushing for war for their own status and profits, and constantly pulling those with extraordinary powers at the bottom into their camp to ensure that they would not stand on the side of ordinary people.

Then ordinary people are brainwashed into fanatical cannon fodder. This seems to be a place where everyone can display their talents, but in fact, it is just a lie tacitly woven by the Noxian upper class.

There seem to be many lucky people, such as Noxus who relies purely on killing, but he is just an accident.

Li Ke looked at the piles of bones on the ground.

These are the majority.

Noxians and others sacrificed themselves for the prosperity of the Noxian elite.

“Kill her!!”

However, these starving people ignored her words and just rushed towards her with roars.

The hungry want her flesh, the poor want her money, the downtrodden want her armor, but—

"It seems that I can only talk to you using the principles that you understand."

Beneath the gentle voice is a splash of silver phantom.

Before these people could see clearly, they all felt their bodies being hit by a stick. The next moment, they fell to the ground, watching the woman looking at them with a warm smile and pointing her spear at their throats.

"If you don't surrender and follow me, you will die."

Li Ke said this with a very gentle smile. His gentle tone made it impossible for anyone to think that this was a threat. However, after looking into Li Ke's eyes, the person who was planning to launch a sneak attack fell silent.

He had never seen such a powerful warrior, but he had also never seen anyone with such a gentle smile.

"Are you hungry?"

Li Ke spoke with a smile.

"Won't it be possible if I follow you?"

The man lying on the ground spoke.

"Won't."

Li Ke's smile was still heartwarming. She handed the dry food she carried with her to the other party. This was also brought from the Han Dynasty's timeline. When she fought in daily life, she often carried dried meat and sugar with her.

It was not only to replenish physical strength, but also to give the children of the former enemy some candy so that they would not keep crying.

She usually charges into the battle alone and can rush to other people's hometowns in one breath.

Subdue their family members and then play with their children.

After all, as a woman, her heart is softer.

The man who was planning to kill Li Ke took the dry food from Li Ke, took a bite, stood up and nodded to Li Ke.

"Okay, I'll follow you."

He was about to die anyway, and the other party didn't kill him but gave him food, so he just followed him.

After all, no one had given him that kind of warm smile since his mother died.

Moreover, his instinct told him that he was doing the right thing.

"Well, are you coming too?"

Li Ke looked at the others and left his back to the person he had just surrendered.

The others looked at each other silently for a few seconds, and then began to nod.
