Evil will not deceive you

After Li Ke inspected for a while, he came to the conclusion that this place still needs a large number of workers.

The only thing that can limit the production capacity of these people now is the quantity of high-quality iron ore and various industrial parts.

Li Ke is already preparing to deal with the former, but for the latter, he needs to wait for the follow-up support promised by the caravan and Onyxia.

However, what Li Ke needs to do now is to solve the labor problem.

He needed to find Van Cleef.

However, just as he was using his invisibility spell and constantly flying at low altitudes by manipulating energy, he unexpectedly saw a group of people on the road.

Although the leader was in disguise, there was no doubt that he was indeed Van Cleef.

"Interesting, is it coming so soon?"

Li Ke chuckled, then hid his figure, added traces of illusion to where he was, and quietly entered the team.

Then, he heard a conversation between an honest-looking middle-aged man and Van Cleef.

"Van Cleef, do we really want to trust that man? Go live and work for him in Rifaning?"

Johnson looked at Van Cleef with some worry. He didn't quite understand Van Cleef's order. When they evacuated, many people brought their families and the like. After all, some masons with little reputation were among the first. When Bo was cleaning, he was not killed, but escaped.

Although many people died later, there are still many of these people.

He didn't know much about other things, but he still knew one thing.

These people are members of the Defias Brotherhood.

However, now Van Cleef wants some of them to quietly bypass Marcus Jonathan's spinning thread and let his own people enter the territory of the knight named Li Ke. To be honest, he is still very worried.

"Yes, because now the Brotherhood can no longer be completely under my command. Moreover, he should be from Lordaeron, different from the people from Stormwind City."

Van Cleef also didn't want to believe Li Ke, but when he summoned his subordinates and wanted them to disappear temporarily during this period, he discovered something was wrong.

Some people seemed not to listen to his orders very much, and there were many strange things when executing his orders.

Although they agreed on the surface, they seemed to be procrastinating in their actions. This was not a big deal in the eyes of other people. Van Cleef didn't care about this before - of course he knew that his organization was a mixed bag and it was impossible to do it. Clear and clean.

His childhood friend Xiao must have buried a lot of nails in his place, and those big landowners and nobles must have also stuffed people into it.

But it wasn't this rampant before.

So when he woke up, Van Cleef immediately realized something.

The middle and lower level of the Defias Brotherhood, he is about to completely lose control in the future! Even some of the middle managers are no longer so obedient, or in other words, they no longer want revenge, they just want to line their pockets and then go elsewhere to live happily.

"Moreover, these people are different. Johnson, they still have a way out. They are not wanted, and they can continue to live their lives. If the man named Li Ke really wants to develop the Western Wilderness, then he will definitely accept and Protect these people instead of using them as military honors... In fact, if they really want to use our heads as military honors, we will not be able to escape."

Looking at the masons and miners behind with worried expressions on their faces, Van Cleef sighed.

These people are not high-ranking cadres, nor are they the top leaders of the Masons Brotherhood. They are just a group of ordinary masons and miners.

How can I put it, if these people no longer want to work one day, it is not impossible to live anonymously in other towns in Stormwind City. Although there will be a lot of troubles and they will have to work hard to integrate into the local forces, Stormwind City is not that bad. I am looking for these people who know nothing.

However, they followed him out of loyalty and trust in him. In the past, they were undoubtedly his backbone, but now...

Murlocs, gnolls, kobolds, goblins, pirates, as well as various local nobles and families in Stormwind City, ruffians, bandits and robbers... The members of the Defias Brotherhood are diverse, and the main force is no longer theirs.

And if they continue to stay in the Defias Brotherhood, there is no doubt that these people will be corrupted.

The most important thing is that if Li Ke has evil intentions, the group of people sent there can become the best role models.

I will also give up completely.

Fan Cleef didn't know whether he wanted the people he sent there to be persecuted by Li Ke or not to be persecuted by Li Ke. He just arrived. No matter which choice it was, he had no choice.

"That doesn't mean..."

Johnson glanced at a little girl who was probably only about ten years old. She was in the arms of a stonemason couple, silently watching Van Cleef's back, as if he wanted to see what was hidden under Van Cleef's face.

"So I asked you to come over, Johnson. You are an old miner and you are not wanted. You can just take care of her... Just let her grow up in peace. I don't expect anything else."

Van Cleef looked at his old buddy.

My old buddy is a stupid guy, otherwise he wouldn't be a miner even at his age. He has such a good relationship with me but can't even become a foreman - this guy doesn't know how to reprimand the miners at all. He is a good old man and... A person who likes to follow orders cannot lead everyone to survive in a dangerous mine.

But he is a very trustworthy person and his mining ability is top-notch.

"I have made all arrangements. If necessary, you can take her with you and report my hiding place to save your life...you know where it is."

Van Cleef's voice was filled with helplessness and vicissitudes of life, and Johnson couldn't help but speak.

"But, Van Cleef..."

"It's nothing, Johnson, you have been with me for so long, you should live a peaceful life."

Van Cleef was not looking at Johnson, but at least came to the front of the team and led them towards Ruifaning, the tax town.

Li Ke couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He looked in the direction of the little girl Johnson was looking at before, and then looked at the cute girl who now looked more delicate. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. eyebrow.

One of the future Azeroth white-legged ones, Vanessa VanCleef?

Pretty average.
