Me and countless me.

Chapter 504 Attack on the Port
However, all of this is irrelevant to Li Ke, who is already in Ireland at this moment, over the skies above Ireland.

He held binoculars and looked down at the scene below. On this dock, countless Irish people were being led by ropes like livestock, voluntarily heading to the slave ships.

But what's disgusting is that compared to others, they are considered lucky.

Because they could still be chosen as slaves and still have some value, while their families, who were already too hungry to walk, were in a much worse state; their future was undoubtedly to starve to death here.

An Irish child had an enormous belly because he ate everything he could chew, but his stomach couldn't digest it or excrete it. So his belly swelled up, and he gradually lost his life in pain.

An Irish woman had to give up her child and then sell herself for a few coins and two loaves of bread so that her husband would have the strength to become a qualified commodity for the next merchant.

She knew perfectly well what fate awaited her and her child, but she had no choice but to do this, because they had already sold all their land and possessions for food, yet they were still going to starve.

So she had to do it!
The helpless husband watched as his wife was wantonly abused by the sailors, but there was nothing he could do, because he needed his wife to sell her body to earn a living.

The starving child lay in the arms of her long-dead mother, sucking on her shriveled breast, but nothing came out, for her mother had long since died of starvation. So, gradually, she began to chew.

Even in such a remote place, Li Ke still saw barbecue and soup.

Some belonged to nobles and merchants, while others did not, but essentially they all ate the same thing, the same food.

What Li Ke saw through the telescope was this scene, a scene like purgatory, where, driven by their thirst for food, almost everyone had become the lowest form of beast.

However, he also saw countless merchant ships sailing out of the port, carrying wheat and various agricultural products from Ireland, as well as supplies donated by genuine British gentlemen.

So, filled with rage, Li Ke, despite being warned by the Holy Name and the Contract that his strength was insufficient to fight those underground or to oppose the entire United Kingdom, still couldn't help but grip his sword hilt and hand the telescope to Edward beside him.

“Look, Edward, these people are still sending out food. The Irish are starving, but these merchants, landowners and nobles are still trying to squeeze the last penny out of them.”

Edward took the binoculars and looked through them for a few moments before falling silent. He knew there was a famine in Ireland, and it was terrible, but he hadn't expected it to be this bad!
He couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he put down the binoculars and took a deep breath.

"What should we do, Captain?"

Li Ke drew his battle sword, grabbed the cable, and looked down at everything through the clouds, then directly chose...

"Let's put an end to this, get all the food out, and then we'll have a huge fight!"

The Atlas plunged down, the massive steel ship cleaving through the sea of ​​clouds. Amidst the churning clouds, golden sunlight shone on Li Ke, as if paving a long golden staircase and waves for him, carrying his sailors and army as they plunged down toward that place full of evil!

This undisguised behavior was quickly noticed by the people in the port. Whether they were residents, soldiers, nobles, or merchants, they all came out and looked at the black dot in the sky, whispering among themselves.
Soon, the local official also noticed the black dot growing larger in the sky. He almost instinctively thought it was some kind of ritual magic performed by a certain family. However, he didn't want to reveal his secrets to everyone, as this would let other families know about his family's secrets and make them targets.

So he frowned, not intending to do anything. After all, his mansion was well-protected, and he himself had the lives of several soldiers as a safety net. He was not afraid of any attack at all.

However, he couldn't help but feel angry at the black dot falling rapidly in the sky, and shouted it out to one of his subordinates.

"What is that? Has someone used the disaster victims to perform some kind of ritual? How many times have I told you not to hold large-scale rituals in places like this, otherwise it will trigger a chain reaction!"

However, the moment he asked that question, Li Ke's loud voice rang out.

"Hey! Irishmen!"

Li Ke, holding onto the cable hanging from the Atlas with one hand and brandishing his battle sword with the other, floated and shouted above the port.

"Are you pigs?! Don't you really know where the food is?! Do you really want to abandon your families for a few loaves of bread, letting them be tortured to death in endless hard labor?!"

Wielding his sword, his shouts, amplified by the Atlas's sound system, echoed throughout the entire port city!
"Be angry! The ships in the harbor are full of food!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sailors on the Atedis began throwing bread downwards. This bread was not the kind that could be used as a weapon; on the contrary, it was very soft and was baked by Li Ke on the Atedis.

So the moment he spoke, bread rained down on the starving Irish people, spreading towards the port and the governor's mansion next to it!

"Be terrified! The Queen's executioners are using muskets and bayonets to stop you from eating your fill! They don't want you to live at all!"

Li Ke shouted again, and at this moment, some officers and nobles who had noticed something was wrong realized that Li Ke wanted to start a riot. Having never been attacked from the sky before, they did not hesitate to aim their muskets and arrows at Li Ke.

Many of the muskets and bows bore traces of mysticism, appearing exceptionally powerful. However, Li Ke fearlessly swung his longsword, easily deflecting the arrows and bullets, and continued shouting.

"Rebel! Since you will die as slaves anyway, why fear those bayonets and bullets? Is death more terrible than hunger? Come on! Let us drink the blood of these parasites! Come on, let us share the bread and wine in the warehouses and merchant ships!"

After saying this, he swooped down from the sky without hesitation, and countless sailors grabbed the newly appeared cable on the Atlas and followed Li Ke to the ground!
At the same time, the cannons and guns on the Atlas were also aimed at the Governor's Mansion. Dozens of cannons opened fire instantly. In the instant that people were shocked that the ship could still fly, countless bullets and shells shattered the gate of the Governor's Mansion, and the magnificent and exquisite office building was instantly engulfed in flames and smoke before collapsing with a crash!
Countless soldiers and nobles didn't even have time to fire a shot or fight before they stepped onto the ladder of death amidst the dense barrage of artillery fire and bullets from the sky!

Their fortifications and fortifications were incredibly strong, enough to withstand attacks from countless pirates and bandits.

Their training was meticulous, and they were able to calmly deal with attacks from mobs.

But when faced with the attack from the sky, they panicked because it was something they had never encountered before!
And Li Ke naturally didn't forget to promote his top female fan!

"In Calypso's name! Edward! Not a single merchant ship can escape! They are the Irish people's food!"

His voice was broadcast throughout the city once again via the Atlas, and the sailboats that were about to set sail, sensing the danger, were horrified to discover that a strange whirlpool had appeared outside the dock! And gusts of wind were blowing toward the harbor, making it impossible for them to set sail under these circumstances!
Meanwhile, the starving Irish, guided by the bread Li Ke had scattered, arrived in front of the governor's mansion. The governor, not yet killed by Li Ke's cannon fire, had just crawled out of the ruins and hadn't even had time to gather his personal guards when he saw Li Ke leading his sailors towards them. But what terrified him even more was that behind Li Ke were countless Irish people tearing at bread, and these Irish, led by Li Ke, were almost instinctively rushing towards his governor's mansion!
A sense of fear arose within him, and almost instinctively he wanted to manipulate the teleportation array he had spent a fortune to build, to teleport himself back to his manor in London.

However, it was no use, because a strange aura enveloped the place, turning it into the site of another ritual. The thick divine aura destroyed all the mystical power he could use, turning him into an ordinary mortal!

"asshole!"

With bloodshot eyes, he pulled out his pistol and fired at an Irishman who had rushed into the governor's mansion. But the bullet, which was supposed to hit the bullseye every time, only grazed the peasant's ear and left a bloody mark on his face. Only then did he remember that his perfect shooting skills had been stolen from a soldier through a mysterious ritual!
Oops……

By the time he realized this, Li Ke's sailors had already rushed in, suppressing the personal guards who wanted to charge forward, and then countless refugees rushed in!

These disaster victims didn't know what they were supposed to do; they just instinctively followed Li Ke's men in, even assuming that the governor's mansion was also filled with bread.

But when they saw the sailors subdue the previously high-ranking governor's personal guards, and the governor himself was exposed to them.

These Irish disaster victims knew what they had to do!

"Kill him! Hang him!!"

At such a shout, the governor trembled and fired another shot, then roared in panic.

"You bunch of unruly people! Aren't you afraid of dying?!"

This time, the bullet pierced the chest of an Irishman and brought the scene to a standstill for a moment, but the next moment, Li Ke's sailor roared.

"He actually thinks it's right for us to go hungry!"

And so, anger was ignited!

The Irish refugees swarmed forward, and the governor only had time to let out endless screams before he was overwhelmed by the refugees, a master of mysticism who was famous in London!

Li Ke didn't even have a clear look at the governor's appearance, because when he cleared out those determined soldiers, the governor was already unrecognizable as a human being, and his sailors had hung him from the two streetlights in front of his governor's office, where he was fluttering like a flag.

At this moment, his holy name and contract no longer reminded him that he could not defeat this nobleman, but instead burned continuously, constantly increasing his power!

Seemingly finding the sight of the wandering governor so satisfying, countless refugees followed suit, hanging any nobles they could find, their servants who were protecting them, and the slave traders who had previously oppressed them, on flagpoles, eaves, or even any random protruding spot.

One by one, nobles screamed as they were hanged, while factory owners and merchants suffered the most tragic fates. Most of them didn't even live to leave their factories and homes. By the time the workers and refugees broke down their doors, they were mostly unrecognizable as human beings. Even those who survived were only spared because these people wanted to slow their deaths and make them suffer more.

"Aaaaah! You lowly people! Lowly people!"

A delicate noblewoman screamed as she was swallowed up by the rioting refugees. When she was dragged out again, she was no longer the delicate and beautiful girl she once was. Her precious jewelry had been stripped off, and her whole body was covered in mud and trampled by countless footprints!

She screamed as she was stabbed from below, and the one who stabbed her was also a woman, not for any other reason than hatred.

Hatred for this delicate young girl who, in order to prevent her carriage from being stained by mud, used her own daughter as a paving stone!
A factory owner was also dragged along. He had taken advantage of the famine to lower all workers' wages and refused to pay any workers' compensation. He also increased everyone's working hours to 23 hours a day, all so that the workers would become disabled on the production line. This way, he wouldn't have to pay wages at the end of the month and could still make a fortune by demanding compensation from the workers!
So at that moment, his fingers were completely torn off by the angry workers with their tools. His children and wife, who enjoyed the wealth and status he had earned, were also hung up and pelted with countless stones, unable to reach the other side.

Countless people died at that moment; the cries of nobles, merchants, and factory owners echoed continuously, and flames burned ever brighter.

In this city, in the hearts of these people.

Li Ke, leaning on his long sword, watched this scene. He did not make another move, but the power of his holy name and the contract continued to grow stronger. Just standing there, he gave people a feeling of burning intensely, making those who looked at him subconsciously want to follow him and dedicate everything they had to do for what he wanted to do.

Because everyone who sees Li Ke at this moment feels that as long as they offer their loyalty to Li Ke, they will never be disappointed. Even if they die, they will be satisfied and die without any regrets!
Li Ke couldn't help but laugh when she saw this.

"Ah, what a beautiful sight this is!"

However, Li Ke also knew that the city was starting to become chaotic. Fortunately, Edward finally finished what he had been asked to do, and with the remaining sailors and some of the disaster victims, he properly "invited" the captains of those merchant ships to come down, and intercepted all the grain in the port.

Moreover, some people had already started robbing each other, so Li Ke knew it was time to end the riot and move on to governance.

"it's time."

So Li Ke once again piloted the Atdis down and roared at the disaster victims who had begun to attack indiscriminately!
"Everyone, line up and register at the pier. We will distribute food and supplies, but if anyone still wants to riot, then don't blame us for being impolite!"

The moment the words were spoken, the Atlas opened fire again in full view of everyone, instantly turning the governor's mansion into ruins. Li Ke's sailors also raised their long swords, forcing the refugees who had become agitated to retreat, and mercilessly killing those who took advantage of the chaos.

It was a painful process; Li Ke had to kill some people who shouldn't have died, but the effect was remarkable. Before long, everyone in the city was completely under his control. As Li Ke began distributing food, even the most irrational Irish became compliant, and countless people began singing praises to him.

Li Ke, of course, would not stay away from this place. He quickly appointed some local officials who still had some conscience and forced the sailors to work, which quickly restored normal production in the area. He only slightly adjusted the working hours, allowing these workers to work only eight hours a day and have weekends off.

After all, his priority right now is to win people's hearts and actively take in disaster victims. The reason he started the factory was simply because he needed to replenish the ammunition and some simple medicines for the Atlas.

But this is always the most troublesome thing. He attacked the entire port and destroyed the order here, so he naturally has to take on the responsibility of rebuilding order.

But these weren't his problems, since he was experienced in that area. What troubled him were other things.
