Lord of Rot

Chapter 320 Siege of Longship Fort

Inside the Iron Wall Fortress, Li Qi looked at the raven in his hand to send a message with a solemn expression.

Only one sentence.

"The Siege of Longship Fort"

Li Qi rolled up the paper, turned around and looked at Pitts who delivered the letter.

He said: "Go and call all the stewards, I have important orders."

"Yes, my lord!" Pitts nodded.

She blew, and black birds flew over and landed in front of the window.

They have tufted frontal feathers, which Pitts discovered by accident. After bringing them back, they have been used as ordinary birds to patrol the territory of Iron Valley, but Li Qi recognized them by accident and ordered Pitts to cultivate them carefully and teach them They talk.

That's right, this large black bird is a starling that can learn to speak!

Pitts said to the starlings: "Go tell the stewards and let them go back to the castle immediately!"

"Back to the castle! Back to the castle!"

"Back to the castle! Back to the castle!"

The starlings kept repeating this sentence, and flew towards the outside of the Iron Wall Fort.

Li Qi quickly wrote letters on the desk.

Then handed it to Pitts: "Send it back to the porcupine collar immediately, the sooner the better!"

"Yes!" Pitts nodded, and hurriedly found an energetic raven, tied up the letter, and let the raven fly.

The stewards gathered very quickly, and the stewards who were far away from the three villages would definitely not be able to make it back that day, so they could only wait until they arrived before asking for news from other people.

The nearby stewards all put down their work and rushed over.

A group of people stood in the chamber.

Li Qi glanced across the faces of the noble youths. After this period of training, part of the aristocratic hypocrisy on their bodies was worn away, their skin was also tanned, and everyone's eyes were shining brightly.

They devote themselves wholeheartedly to the construction of the territory, and only when they really touch the rights will they transform.

As for the fat steward hay, he was even fatter.

And because recently, Lily, under the instruction of Li Qi, suppressed the fat steward, Hay, and made Hay more and more careful in doing things.

Li Qi said straight to the point: "We have a battle to fight!"

fight!

The noble youths suddenly became excited.

The only way to obtain meritorious service is war!
Maybe Li Qi gave them a way to gain merit and glory through development and construction, but the education they received from childhood told them that the honor gained in war is the most valuable!

And war is also the fastest way to advance.

Not to mention far away, didn't the lord whom I am loyal to now become the lord of Iron Valley through the war?

Li Qi continued: "Everyone should be very clear that we have a very good relationship with Shuijiandi. More than half of the grain in the entire Iron Valley needs to be supplied by Shuijiandi."

Everyone nodded. They had stayed here for a long time, and of course similar news could not escape their ears.

And they still remember that last year, because the illegitimate son Wodu Shiba robbed Li Qi of his slaves, Li Qi led his men to the water stream and chopped off Wodu Shiba's head.

Their friendship must have been formed at that time as well.

"The porcupine collar's food can be harvested in one month, but it can't afford more than 1 mouths." Li Qi said, "The relationship between the monkey collar and us has not been very good. If they capture Longship Fort and control the water stream, It will be even more difficult for us to buy food in the future!"

After talking about the reasons for threatening the development of the entire territory, Li Qi talked about smaller reasons.

"Porcupine family motto, full of thorns! Longship Castle is our friend, they are under siege, we must help, and fight back against those disgusting monkeys!"

Li Qi knew very well that even if he didn't say these things, the noble youths were eager to join him on the battlefield right now.

But the reason for the war must be clarified, and you need to be famous. Those reasons are not for the group of nobles in front of you. Divide the dividends of the war.

Li Qi said these words to the soldiers.

Everyone is living a good life, why should I care about the life and death of other territories?
Morale is an invisible thing. Everyone is a living person, but this emotion is real.

The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. After the Shuijian Land is breached, the monkey leader may cut off our food and increase the price, and the Shui Jian Land is still our friend. How can we not fight this battle!
From being for others to helping yourself, people will be full of energy immediately.

"I need some people to stay and continue to manage the development of Iron Valley, and others to follow me to the battlefield!" Li Qi looked at the noble youths.

"My lord, I want to follow you to the battlefield!"

"My lord, I want to go too!"

"My lord, let us kill those cunning monkeys!"

Li Qi almost forgot that the reputation of the monkey family has not been very good, especially in the eyes of the knights who advocate "charging", the monkeys who believe in "the wise are good at concealment" are simply mice hiding in the gutter, and their popularity is too bad.

Li Qi said: "I need someone to stay, Iron Wall Fort is our backing, and if we need it later, those who stay can go directly to the battlefield after receiving my message."

He looked at the crowd and asked, "Okay, who wants to stay?"

……

The raven flew along the coast and finally reached the porcupine collar.

Glenn, who was busy arranging to solve the problem of work for the new slaves, suddenly heard someone calling himself, he stopped what he was doing, and turned to look behind him.

Here comes the castle boy.

"What's wrong?" Grant asked.

"It's a letter from the lord!" The servant handed the letter to Glenn.

The letter sent back by the lord will usually be handed over to the chief steward, Glenn. If Glenn has no time, it may be handed over to Lacey, Quick Blade or Joe.

Crowe Camel was not considered at all, and he was the only one who had no choice in the end.

After receiving the letter and opening it with his index finger, Gren's expression suddenly changed.

He said: "Immediately inform Lord Quick Blade and Lord Lacey!"

……

The two knights of the porcupine leader rode to the castle immediately after receiving the news, but they didn't see Glenn in the castle.

Just as he was about to ask someone to ask, he saw Gren running over panting.

"What happened?" Quickblade asked.

Grant passed the letter directly, but Quick Blade didn't pick it up. Lacey on the side reached out to take the letter and quickly scanned the contents.

Facing the fast blade who was staring at him eagerly, Lacey said: "The monkey leader has attacked Shuijiandi. My lord, let us immediately dispatch some soldiers to Iron Wall Fortress to help Shuijiandi resist the monkey family!"

"Haha, I've seen those monkeys upset a long time ago!" Quick Blade was overjoyed.

At the beginning, he was ordered to lead the team to Giant's Foot to participate in the Burning City War. He had contact with the monkey family, and he didn't like those vicious people at all.

"What else?" Quick Blade asked, "Did your lord say what we should bring?"

"Yes." Lacey nodded, and said, "My lord said to bring the armor and muskets built during this period of time first."

Quick Blade immediately said: "Then what are you waiting for! I'm going to pick soldiers! Sir Lacey, the Alchemy Workshop wants you to go."

"it is good!"

The entire assembly process was very fast. From receiving the letter, to the delivery of the order, to the assembly of all the soldiers who were about to set off, armor, muskets, alchemy bombs and other weapons were loaded onto the ship and waited for departure. The whole process took less than half an afternoon. time.

Also taken away was four-handed mercenary Trevor.

In the desperate battlefield, it is impossible to do without him.

The current porcupine collar, Lacey and Quick Blade can't leave. More than 4000 slaves are still waiting for them, and they can't leave.

Moreover, the presence or absence of the two of them will not have much impact on this battle.

Porcupine, set sail for Iron Valley.

On the other side, Li Qi, who had finished ordering everything and was only waiting for the porcupine collar's weapons and armor to be delivered, rode directly on the rocket and soared into the sky.

The territories of Iron Valley and Shuijian Land are adjacent, but because Iron Valley has many mountains and roads are impassable, even some extremely high peaks cannot be crossed with the ability of rockets.

Flying above the clouds, the rocket flew with all its strength. Li Qi also looked down and determined his position through the river.

An hour or two later, Li Qi said, "Descent!"

The rocket descends immediately.

"stop!"

He could see clearly from the sky that the camps with monkey collar flags were already stationed outside Longship Fort, densely packed and pitch black.

"Could it be that the old monkey is planning to go all out this time?" Li Qi had a strange expression.

Based on his rough calculations based on the number of tents, there were at least 1-2000 soldiers besieging Longship Fort this time!
Unlike the militiamen, most of these soldiers wore iron armor, which reflected light in the sun.

"There is a large gap between the enemy and us, and they still have engineering equipment. The Longship Fort won't last long."

Li Qi couldn't figure out what the old monkey was thinking and why he wanted to attack suddenly.

He didn't lower his altitude, and he would never go into battle alone until he was not sure whether the opponent had a superhuman who could threaten the creatures in the sky.

However, this distance is enough for Li Qi to establish a spiritual connection with the two ghouls in Longship Fort.

It was also at this moment that Li Qi understood the cause and effect.

La Bill came to Longship Castle some time ago, looking for Guy to talk about cooperation, hoping that Guy can help him become the Baron of the Monkey Collar, and then La Bill will use his own strength to help Guy replace Wodu and become the new Baron.

Ghoul Guy, who took delaying time as his task at the time, agreed without hesitation.

However, even the ghoul did not expect that La Bill, who had discussed cooperation last month, would suddenly come with soldiers, expel all the ships in Shuijian River Bend, forcibly control the river, and go all the way north to Longship Fort outside.

It did not attack, but focused on siege and supplemented by harassment.

Except for trying to break through the wall and attack the city for a few days and nights, but being discovered and blocked by two ghouls who don't need to rest, there is no other action.

The tents where they are stationed are just outside.

Monkey flag waving in the wind.

Longship Fort 500 Soldiers wearing leather and cloth armor guarded the city wall, but they didn't have any confidence in their hearts, and they lived in fear every day.

Ravens were released countless times, but only one raven was lucky enough to fly to Tiegu to report.

So when Li Qi knew about this and rushed over, the siege had been going on for a long time.

"very good!"

Li Qi patted Rocket lightly and said, "Go back to Iron Wall Fort!"

"Cuckoo!"

The rocket turned around and flew towards Iron Valley.
