Lord of Rot

Chapter 130 Whoever wins they will follow whoever wins

The letter from Longship Castle came again.

Standing by the cage, Li Qi glanced at the raven that raised its left wing and tilted its head to catch the wings, and then unfolded the letter it brought.

"Bringing Regards and due respect to Sir Leach Clarence" begins familiarly.

"Hebeng Village was attacked by a fake illegitimate son, and all the soldiers were slaughtered. His bad behavior will definitely attract the anger of the prisoners."

If the Four Gods really cared about equality and freedom, there would be no nobles in the world.

Li Qi complained in his heart, and continued to look down.

"Longship Fort has been besieged. I hope you haven't forgotten your promise at that time. When the counterfeit illegitimate child is defeated, the treasure house of Longship Fort will also be opened to you."

It is estimated that the treasure house of Longship Fort, which can't even get Bronze Star, is not attractive to Li Qi at all.

But probably this is the last sincerity the baroness can show.

Li Qi said to himself: "I only said that Wodu Shiba was going to be cut down, but I didn't say when to do it."

I declared war, but you didn't live long enough to fight me, it means you are not worthy to fight me, this is called winning without fighting.

Through the observation of the corpse bird, Li Qi already knew that Hebang Village was very close to Longship Fort. He even had a map in his hand from Porcupine Fort, to Ironstone City, and then to Longship Fort, which was more detailed than the official map!

After Wodu Eighteen occupied Hebeng Village, they could directly attack Longship Fort.

Li Qi believed that as long as Wodu Shiba was not a fool, he would definitely not choose to besiege Longship Fort, but to attack the city as soon as possible.

Because his subordinates were all farmers, beggars, and slaves, and he didn't have enough food supplies. Under such circumstances, besieging Longship Fort could only trap himself to death first.

If you choose to attack, Wodu Eighteen may not be able to take down Longship Fort.

That was a longboat fort that was easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you want to break into it, you must first find a way to cross the river.

There are no huge ships in Shuijian, relying on ferries and fishing boats to besiege?It is simply suicide.

However, there is an advantage in numbers, and the situation is more dire, and they can still win. If the number of corpses is overwhelming, they will naturally win. It just depends on whether the farmers and soldiers have the courage.

The situation of the besieged baroness is not good either. She doesn't have any reinforcements, and she doesn't know what kind of offensive Wodu Eighteen will take. Now there is only Li Qi, who has promised to help, so she can only ask Li Qi For the sake of glory and promise, Qi hurriedly dispatched troops.

However, Li Qi has no intention of doing anything until now.

The porcupine collar only has 100 soldiers, which is a very strong team for a small lord, but if you use 100 people to fight tens of thousands of people, isn't it just death.

If the 100 people are all extraordinary knights, they can still consider doing it.

If extraordinary people or ghouls could be used, Li Qi would have already taken off the head of Wodu Eighteen, but in this war, he would rather not fight than show too much.

Now Li Qi is not sure about the situation of Wodu Eighteen. The bird carcasses under his control have already rotted. The hot weather caused many flies to crawl on the carcasses, and even maggots grew out of them.

Fortunately, dead bodies soaked in magic embalming agents don't have this problem and don't get maggots.

Li Qi turned and left, and said to the subordinates and secretary guarding the door: "Catch some more birds, and don't let them get hurt."

"Yes!"

That night, the dead birds flapped their wings and left the porcupine collar and flew towards the water stream.

Xiayu Village, meeting hall.

Crowe stood beside Wodu Eighteen, and the atmosphere in the room was a little strange.

They won the battle against Hebeng Village, and now they can see the Longboat Fort from a distance in Hebeng Village, which is equivalent to half stepping on the life of Baroness Jielin, which is a huge improvement.

But the atmosphere was not very pleasant, and the subordinates were sullen.

Wodu Eighteen is very happy. After the victory of this battle, as long as the Longship Fort is broken, he will be the Baron Wodu!
"Everyone has a reward!" He is not stingy with rewards.

Each subordinate has been rewarded with gold, silver moon, jewels, etc., but the mood of the subordinates still cannot rise.

Because although they won, they lost completely. There were only a hundred people on the other side, almost all of them were militiamen, but they sacrificed dozens of times the number of people to win the battle with difficulty. The difference in military literacy between the two sides was huge. , was glimpsed in this tragic battle.

They didn't really occupy Hebeng Village until they killed the last person.

They won very badly, which dealt a big blow to the momentum of the "invincible" Voodoo [-] team.

Before that, the peasants firmly believed that Vodo was invincible. Why did more and more people come to them?Because I feel that I can win by following them, and I can win easily. Can't I win with too many people?They will follow whoever wins.

But in this battle, the farmers discovered that 100 militiamen could kill thousands of them. If 100 regular soldiers came, could they kill tens of thousands of them?
The farmers looked at the blood-stained land of Hebeng Village, and some of them were scared out of their wits.

"You should be there for this battle." Bohr said to Vodu Eighteen.

If Wodu Eighteen had been present in that battle, it would have greatly boosted morale, and the sacrifice would have been much less.

"We won, and you guys did a great job." Wodu Eighteen said to Bohr: "There will be sacrifices in war. When they followed me, they should have thought that sooner or later, their sacrifices would not be worth it." It's meaningless, I will give them glory after becoming a Baron!"

Boer's chest rose and fell rapidly, and his eyes were red: "The thing you hated most before was glory."

"I'm a baron." Wodu Eighteen looked at Boer, stared at him, and forced him to bow his head with his eyes.

The atmosphere froze.

In the end, Bohr lowered his head, and he still chose to submit, but judging from his aggravated panting state, he had reached the limit of his patience.

Crowe, who had been watching coldly, suddenly felt malicious in him. He found that Bohr and others had looked at him very fiercely. They needed to kill a nobleman to vent themselves, and Crowe was the only nobleman here.

To bad!
Crowe's heart was in a mess. He knew he was really in danger. These bandits and robbers didn't make sense at all.

It can be seen from the fact that they slaughtered villages, raped women after seizing a village, and killed rebels at will.

But Crowe asked himself, he didn't do anything. Wodu eighteen became more and more like an aristocrat, because he was too involved in the drama, and he really thought he was the illegitimate son of Baron Wodu. He just accompanied Wodu Eighteen, drink and drink, eat and drink.

The crowd leaves.

"Sir Crowe, let me be quiet," said Wodu Eighteen.

"Yes, my lord." Crowe has achieved the ultimate in aristocratic etiquette, which is the reason why he can survive here.

He just opened the door, but he didn't expect that there happened to be a young man outside the door who was about to raise his hand to knock on the door.

Crowe quickly scanned the other person's face and clothing, and instantly knew where the other person came from.

South of Longship Fort.

Only the people there will wear this style of clothes, because there are more mountains there, so the trousers will be tucked into the boots, and there will be a hat with a wide brim on the head, but it is definitely not the foot of the southern giant. Dressing, the dressing style there is closer to "tribal", with strong ethnic characteristics.

Guessing was only in his mind for a moment, and then Crowe stepped back, smiling, to get out of the way and said, "Please."

"Thank you" the other party nodded.

Standard Dongxia etiquette.

After the other party walked past, Crowe went out and slowly closed the door, but it was not tightly closed, leaving a gap in the door on purpose. He pretended to obey the order and waited quietly at the door.

It is very likely that I will be slaughtered by Boer's group of people today. Crowe wants to escape, but he must get useful information before he runs.

"Good day, honorable Baron Vodou, I come with the greetings of Lord Bill."

"Bill?" Crowe outside the door pondered carefully: "The group of monkeys in Hill Palm Castle?"

No noble likes those guys who like to play tricks and tricks, but have little strength.

"Is something wrong?" Wodu Shiba was obviously in a bad mood.

"Master Bill sent me to congratulate you on your victory this time, and asked me to bring some weapons to help you agree to the next battle, but you need to complete a few small things."

"Oh!"

The table was slammed, and even if he couldn't see it, Crowe could guess that Wodu Shiba was in a bad mood.

"I don't need anyone's help to get to this point, and I don't need to promise to do anything for the Bill family!"

It was Wodu Eighteen's luck to be able to get to this point. Of course, he thought it was his own strength and his demeanor of a king.

"My lord, you may hear what I have brought? I..."

"No need, the Wodu family doesn't need any help! They don't need anyone to tell me what to do!" Wodu Eighteen said, "When I enter Longship Castle for a ball, I will definitely reserve a chair for the Bill family!"

Crowe knew that he should go, otherwise he would be found eavesdropping by the people inside.

He quickly left to stand on the side of the road, noticing that the messenger of the Bill family left with a sullen face.

"It's time to run away," Crowe thought to himself.

"grown ups!"

A figure with a smell of sour sweat rushed over. Crowe was startled when he saw the person coming. It turned out to be the farmer he entrusted to deliver the letter to the porcupine. Crowe turned around and found no one noticed before he breathed a sigh of relief: "How about it?"

"The baron asked me to bring you a letter."

"Good job" Crowe quietly took the letter, just about to turn around and leave, but stopped and said to the farmer: "Pigskin hat, if you believe me, run now, go to Ironstone City, go to Porcupine Collar, or go to Lintawan is starting a new life, don't stay here anymore."

After he finished speaking, he quickly turned and left.

The farmer's pigskin hat reached out and pulled the hat off his head, clutching it in his hand, muttering: "Why are you running? The baron is about to enter Longship Castle, and the fields will be divided up soon. Why should I run?"

Crowe just said a word of persuasion, and he didn't care whether the other party would obey.

He found a secluded place and opened the rolled letter.

There is only one short answer.

"Instigate dissension, stir up civil strife."

"Instigate civil strife? How does your lord know about civil strife?" Crowe was surprised.

When he sent the farmer's pigskin hat to the porcupine to deliver the letter, Vodo Eighteen had a good relationship with his subordinates, but complained that the complicated etiquette of the nobles was annoying.

The real conflict broke out after the battle in Hebeng Village.

However, he is no longer needed to sow dissension, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wodu Shiba's subordinates are alienated.

Or is it that Mr. Li Qi has placed other people, so there are other ways to know the news here?
Crowe turned his head to search, but no one was watching him, only a strange bird on a branch not far away stared at him without blinking. He bent down and picked up a stone and threw it at the strange bird, which spread its wings and flew away.

I feel better, because I always feel uncomfortable being stared at by that strange bird.
