Chapter 369: The Whole Story
Li Ke’s panel attributes were surprisingly good.
However, the ‘Combo Star’ talent clearly indicated that he was a general skilled in one-on-one combat.
From the dual blade weapons that easily stack multi-segment attacks, to the ‘Chop Streak’ skill, it could be seen that Li Yuanjie had undoubtedly trained Li Ke in this direction as well.
Although the ‘Combo Star’ talent for one-on-one combat made him seem not particularly suited for battlefields involving thousands of troops, in reality, Li Ke’s Bravery and Leadership both had 4-stars, not to mention a Spirit with a 4-star upper limit.
With three 4-star attributes, these panel attributes were laid out before him.
Even if his talent was ignored, throwing him onto the battlefield would definitely place him among the ranks of first-rate generals.
At this moment, Luo Ji was already pondering his future arrangements for Li Ke.
Currently, his Loyalty was only 68 points, but that was fine.
After all, he had just expressed submission, and it would quickly rise above 70 points.
And just as he was pondering this, Li Ke below also unhurriedly finished explaining the whole story.
After listening, a slight hint of surprise appeared on Luo Ji’s face.
He hadn’t quite expected that there would be a bit of factional division within the wolf tribe.
After all, Luo Ji had never encountered such things in the early stages, thanks to his ‘Ruler’ talent.
This single point alone could probably infuriate countless players deeply embroiled in internal strife, unable to extricate themselves.
Getting back to the main topic, after hearing Li Ke’s narrative, everyone couldn’t help but have a certain degree of changed perception towards him and the wolf tribe again.
At this moment, Luo Ji, leaning back in the main seat, also glanced at Zhao Pan.
After their gazes briefly met, Zhao Pan nodded lightly, and a hint of understanding flashed in Luo Ji’s eyes.
As a ruler, even though Li Ke had already expressed submission to him, he wouldn’t simply believe the other party’s one-sided story.
He would definitely confirm this matter later.
As for the task of confirmation, it was undoubtedly handed to Zhao Pan.
War is merciless, people die and every battle sees deaths.
If one were to stand from a completely impartial, God-like perspective, anyone could spout grand theories.
Both sides on the battlefield have their own standpoints, fighting for their own masters.
Who lives or dies, who can be blamed?
However, generally, out of ten people who say such things, essentially all ten are speaking glibly, only knowing how to say obvious things all day.
How could they possibly understand the feelings of those involved?
Humans are emotional beings, with delicate and complex, even capricious, emotions.
Who can truly say they completely understand anyone?
Earlier, upon Sun He’s death, Luo Ji swore a solemn oath on the spot to dismember Zhou Dongnan piece by piece until death.
And in fact, he did exactly that.
But what was the root cause of this matter?
The reason was that Zhou Dongnan had mutilated Sun He into a human stick and hung him on the city wall!
In normal battlefield combat, Luo Ji would feel grief, resentment, and sadness.
But in the end, he would choose to accept it, because this was the norm of war, and also his bottom line.
However, Zhou Dongnan’s actions at that time undoubtedly crossed this bottom line!
That’s why he brought upon himself the fate of dismemberment.
This time, Liu Zheng’s death had a subtle difference.
Luo Ji knew that regarding this matter, the ones who were most unable to let go were Zhao Pan and the soldiers of Iron Wall City.
So he entrusted this matter to Zhao Pan, and also gave Zhao Pan a reason to convince himself…
One matter temporarily came to an end.
Luo Ji told Li Ke to go down and properly appease the other werewolves.
In any case, with Li Ke there, the wolf tribe shouldn’t cause too much trouble.
Detaining beastmen was, no matter how one thought about it, a troublesome matter.
The most troublesome among them were the 4 Elephantmen.
With 10 meter tall giant physiques, plus immense strength, from any angle, they were troublesome individuals.
The only thing worth celebrating was probably that the 4 of them were currently weak from excessive blood loss and couldn’t cause a commotion.
But the threat still existed.
He was afraid that after some time, once they recovered, they would cause some trouble.
Although elephants are relatively docile animals, as beastmen, he was a bit unsure about the Elephantmen.
Luo Ji felt it was necessary to make some preparations, to prevent trouble before it arose.
And the most convenient method was naturally to ask Li Ke directly.
And while he was at it, also let him talk about the situations of the other beastman races.
As it turned out, among the beastmen, the Elephantmen were indeed a relatively benevolent tribe under normal circumstances.
After being defeated and captured, as long as they weren’t mistreated and were properly appeased, they shouldn’t cause any major problems.
At the same time, with Li Ke present, the wolf tribe side naturally wouldn’t be an issue.
The troublesome ones were the Kobolds and Minotaurs…
In the beastman world, Kobolds were a cunning and ferocious race.
To give a direct example, werewolves hunted to fill their stomachs. Whereas Kobolds might just want to kill prey to pass the time, purely out of boredom.
However, making Kobolds obedient and submit was quite simple.
That was to display strength, let them know how formidable you were, and they would be obedient.
At least, that’s what their wolf tribe did when they assimilated the Kobold tribe.
As for the Minotaurs, that was another situation.
In terms of personality, Minotaurs were also a relatively benevolent tribe.
But these guys were rather simple-minded, or perhaps slow-witted, and a bit stubborn.
To make them submit, it would probably require some effort and tactics.
Back when Li Yuanjie dealt with the Minotaurs, he used a taunting strategy.
He used words to provoke the Minotaurs, making the top warrior of the Minotaur tribe step out to challenge Li Ke to a one-on-one duel.
If Li Ke lost, their wolf tribe would withdraw their troops.
If the Minotaur lost, then they would submit to the wolf tribe and serve the wolf tribe.
After all, the strength of the Minotaur tribe had always been considerable.
If they truly went to war, the wolf tribe would likely have to pay a significant price.
Li Yuanjie had clearly considered this point, which was why he resorted to some tactics.
And at that time, the Minotaur side clearly didn’t want the flames of war to spread to their tribe.
Thus, a verbally agreed-upon duel was established.
The final result was, without a doubt, Li Ke securing victory in that duel, relying on his agile movements and speed.
From the perspective of a one-on-one duel, this was undoubtedly a fair fight.
Li Ke also didn’t feel he had won unfairly.
But his agile, evasive fighting style clearly left the Minotaurs somewhat unconvinced.
In their eyes, these were just petty tricks.
However, compelled by the previously agreed-upon promise, the Minotaurs ultimately submitted to the wolf tribe.
And afterwards, they never caused any rebellions.
From this perspective, they were a fairly trustworthy tribe.
After all, according to Luo Ji’s speculation, if Li Ke had lost the duel at that time, then Li Yuanjie would probably have immediately gone back on his word.
