Lord of Rot

Chapter 377
The battle ended in an instant.

There were a lot of ships traveling in this channel. When the bombardment started, many ships heard the movement, and some people guessed that the explosion was related to them because they had just passed by the three-masted sailboat of the Tuna family.

A small merchant ship from Donggang City hid far away, and there were only a dozen guards on board.

Just realized something was wrong, the boat stopped early.

"what is that?"

Something floated over with the waves.

"Looks like the flag of the tuna family!"

"Could it be that the tuna family's boat capsized? Could it be that they encountered a deep-sea sea monster?"

The captain made a decisive decision: "Go back to Donggang City!"

Never mind what happened, waves, sea monsters, sirens, whatever, it's safest to turn around and go back now!

Li Qi controlled the ghoul and stood on the deck, calmly looking at the tuna family sailors who were shelled in the distance, screaming in panic as the ship sank, and even asked for help from his side.

The sailors on the ship were good at water. Except for the unlucky ones who were stunned by the shelling and directly killed by the bombardment, the others were ups and downs with the waves on the sea surface. Some lucky ones grabbed the broken ship planks and were able to Save some effort.

Surviving is also the most desperate, and the Porcupine has no plans to take prisoners.

Exposure to the scorching sun, without fresh water and food supplements, what awaits them is death, the difference is whether it is sooner or later.

Fortunately, the Porcupine didn't plan to kill them all, and left after sinking the ship. If other merchant ships approached, they would have a chance to take a small life.

Li Qi's sniper attack on the tuna family has just begun.

The reason for the conflict between the two families, I am afraid that the nobles have already heard about it. Compared with right or wrong, they are more surprised by the power of the new weapon displayed by the Baron Porcupine. In the sea, who can hinder the development of porcupines?
But there are also some people who are keenly aware of the opportunity. Many scholars under the aristocrats are several times more powerful than porcupines. Let the scholars study and imitate similar weapons. It is estimated that similar weapons will be reproduced soon.

Some people also put their minds on the porcupine collar. If they can make a cannon, they can directly manufacture it.

The prestige of the porcupine is only temporary, and whoever has more capital will be stronger.

Right now, everyone is afraid to provoke the porcupine. The "thorny" porcupine is going crazy. Before his anger subsides, everyone doesn't want to go over and get stabbed.

A total of two merchant ships were sunk.

"It's a pity that the tuna family has reacted and they now have the option to hide."

Li Qi didn't have so many resources to fight a protracted war with Monkey Island, but if they didn't hurt them, the water monkeys wouldn't know how to be afraid.

His initial plan was to scrap all the ships and directly trap the Monkey Island tuna family to death on the island.

I believe that Denis, Claude and other merchants will not let go of the opportunity to slaughter a family that cannot do business with the outside world.

There are indeed few Li Qi ships, but they can carry out precise artillery strikes.

On the other hand, other people can only choose methods such as boarding battle, bow and arrow shooting and so on.

The range of bow and arrow is completely incomparable with that of artillery.

Before the development of magic power, the effect of gunpowder weapons on crushing ordinary people is still very good.

Just now, a tuna family boat saw the Porcupine and ran away before the Porcupine approached.

The speed of the opponent was faster than that of the Porcupine, and the Porcupine could only watch the opponent leave.

The old captain Peary stood on the right side of the ghoul controlled by Li Qi.

"My lord, our boat cannot catch up."

"Stay around here," he said, "I remember they still have a few ships that will deliver food and wine. The ships are similar to the Porcupine, so they shouldn't be able to escape."

"Yes!" Old Captain Peary nodded.

He is only responsible for following orders. After being a captain for so many years, it is the first time he knows that battles can still be fought like this. There are muskets used by people, but the ship has "guns" used by ships. From now on, who can stop the development of Baron Porcupine Woolen cloth.

"My lord, I'm ready." The voice came from the left.

Li Qi turned his head to the left, and his consciousness left the deck in an instant, returning to the porcupine collar.

He was holding out his hands as the valet, Pitchfork, helped straighten his clothes.

The young lord in the mirror was handsome. After a period of recuperation, he ate all kinds of good things and potions, and he had returned to his normal state, no longer skinny and skinny.

"Let's go." He nodded.

He's going to Red Rose's birthday party.

The development of the porcupine collar has been on the right track, and unless the lord issues new orders, there will be no problems in operation.

The torrential rain stopped completely last night, the water level rose, and some excavated pits became lakes.

Just took this opportunity to start fish farming.

A rain that has been dry for a long time makes people feel comfortable physically and mentally.

Li Qi boarded the Iron Valley at the pier with his retinue, guards, soldiers and servants.

From Pigtail Bay by boat, the road to East Point City is calm.

But the route on the other side was different, and finally the Porcupine seized another opportunity to sink a ship belonging to the Tuna family. It sank a total of 3 ships, including 1 barque.

In just a day or two, the porcupine has become a horror legend at sea, even crushing legends such as the misty ghost ship.

According to other legends, at best, the people on the boat were killed, or the people on the boat went crazy, but the porcupine directly blows up the boat.

Best of all the porcupines are real!
According to several sailors of the tuna family who were lucky enough to be rescued, they heard thunder in the clear sky, and then the ship broke, and then there were only screams.

The more it spreads, the more terrifying it becomes.

When Li Qi arrived at the port pier in East Harbor City by boat, he found that some captains and sailors looked at him with awe.

"Sometimes it's good to be feared, lest everyone think I'm a soft persimmon."

Li Qi was in a good mood.

Entering Roaring Castle, Li Qi didn't see Evangeline Leopold, the protagonist of the ball, 'Red Rose', but many noble ladies and ladies frequently looked at him.

Li Qi was in a different mood than when he went to Hill Palm Fort. At that time, he was thinking of taking advantage, and the Little Bill family was in a weak position facing him, and there were not many soldiers under him.

This is Roaring Castle, the Duke's castle, so I have to restrain myself.

So facing the "eyes" sent by the wives and ladies, he only smiled back and didn't approach.

A noble lady came over on her own initiative: "I heard that you have a Pegasus that can fly in the sky? I'm really curious about the feeling of flying in the sky."

The words are a bit like: I heard that you have a sports car with a global limited edition, I really want to go in and have a ride.

Li Qi said: "But it's wild and unruly, it can peck people."

The noble lady wanted to say something more, but when a person came, she immediately said, "Your Highness!"

Then she turned around wisely and left, she could no longer listen to the chatting of big shots.

Coming to Li Qi's side was a tough and handsome young man with a smile on his face, but his eyes looked down on others with aloofness, which made people very uncomfortable.

The king has two sons, and Li Qi can guess who they are at a glance.

Hugo Kern.

It is said that his temper is most like that of King Boer II, known as the "Undefeated Golden Bear".

His younger brother, George Kein Jr., has the same name as Prince One Ear. He is handsome, and the most important thing is that he likes men, and he will definitely not be as tough and arrogant as the eldest prince Hugo Kein.

"Sir Richie Clarence?"

Li Qi nodded: "Yes, Your Highness."

His attitude is definitely not humble. His lord is the Duke of Yaori, not the king, and you are only one of the king's sons. If you can't become a king in the future, you will be the lord of a certain fief at most.

"I've heard many legends about you in the royal capital. The mighty Baron Porcupine, the conqueror of flames, the fearless man, the favored man of God, Uncle George also praised you very much." The eldest prince Hugo used the tone of his boss to appease his subordinates Said: "With a young lord like you, the kingdom will definitely become stronger and stronger."

Li Qi, the Conqueror of Flame, seems to have heard of it because he used a musket to make a name for himself.

The fearless is because he took the lead in killing the walls of the Iron Wall Fortress.

Hearing what the eldest prince said later, Li Qi wanted to laugh.

The eldest prince thought that he would definitely become a king, so he could show compassion for his subordinates.

Just when Li Qi thought that the other party would say a few words to guard my great rivers and mountains, and I will give you golden ten thousand taels, etc., the other party suddenly said: "I heard that you had some misunderstandings with the tuna family. Monkey Island belongs to my father. Territory, it will be my territory in the future, they are the knights of Monkey Island, so let’s call it a day.”

His expression was indifferent, as if the king was ordering a small matter to his courtiers, and Li Qi had no right to refuse.

Doesn't His Royal Highness understand that this is Dongxia?

"Your Highness, I have a very good relationship with the Tuna family. I wonder what you mean by your words?" Li Qi said, "Sir Morton Lou, he also joined me in attacking the bandit army in Fort Iron Wall."

As soon as he turned his head, he suddenly looked down at the figure standing beside the eldest prince. The movement of lowering his head was deliberately exaggerated, as if he was looking down at his feet.

He apologized, "Ah, I'm sorry, Sir Morton, I didn't see you."

Morton Lou wasn't short enough to be exaggerated, but Li Qi didn't mind using this method to disgust the accuser.

"Sir Li Qi!" 'Osthawk Knight' Morton had a gloomy face. He was just a knight, and Li Qi was a baron with a title, so he had to endure his discomfort.

Hugo frowned and looked at Li Qi: "The tuna family sank three ships by you! I'm not joking with you anymore, Sir Li Qi, I order you as the future king to stop all actions."

"4" Li Qi said.

"What?" Hugo Kerin wondered.

Li Qi said again: "5"

He was multitasking. While chatting with Hugo, the Porcupine encountered two ships from the Tuna family. The two ships thought they could catch up to attack the Porcupine and destroy them directly, but they did not expect to be destroyed one by one.

But there was also a collision, and the Porcupine suffered considerable damage.

The pursuit can only come to an end temporarily, and the Porcupine needs to return to the Porcupine Collar for maintenance.

There are 8 ships left in the 3 ships, and the record is not bad.

Hugo Kein felt that something was wrong, especially when Li Qi said 4 or 5 just now, it seemed that something big really happened.

"I also heard that there have been very rampant pirates along the coast of the East Gorge recently." Li Qi said, "I was still very scared when I came to East Harbor City. I was worried that I would also encounter pirates. I deeply regret what happened to the Tuna family... oh Sorry, I have a few old friends, so I'm sorry."

"You!" The eldest prince Hugo Kein looked gloomy, watching Li Qi turn and leave, standing and chatting with a group of nobles.

"Your Highness?" Morton looked up at the eldest prince.

"Then destroy his boat at sea! Could it be that you can't beat a porcupine?" Hugo was ignored by Li Qi, and the anger in his heart rose: "What is the motto of your tuna family?"

"Treasures in the sea are waiting for me to explore."

"waste!"

Hugo turned and left unhappily.

Morton's face was also a bit ugly. He was beaten by Li Qi and suffered heavy losses. He thought that standing in line to follow the future king would make the situation easier, but the stupid eldest prince would only use the title of "future king" Pressing people, the situation is not getting any better.

And the other party first asked him the family motto, but then scolded him again.

There is nothing wrong with my family motto. The Tuna family is only responsible for getting treasures, and never confronts people head-on.

"My dear brother, haven't you heard of it?" A voice came from beside him.

Morton lowered his head and looked at his dwarf brother: "What do you mean?"

The dwarf shrugged and said: "The last person standing in line is the most valuable. In fact, I like the little prince more than the big prince. A pervert is more suitable for allegiance than a paranoid lunatic. And I really want to see the king hug a man, hahaha , better sit on the throne!"

"Shut up, we have already chosen the eldest prince!"

"I listen to you, I'm just an ugly dwarf, you can't count on the dwarf to help you charge, right?" He turned and walked towards Li Qi, but was grabbed by Morton: "What are you doing?"

"Ask him if he likes Snake Girls, I got a good looking one...don't look at me like that, well, I was thinking maybe redeeming Strong Rock and the others, but I heard Baron Porcupine likes to collect Corpse, maybe Qiangshi and the others have turned into corpses, Baron Porcupine is also a pervert, no, he is a pervert and a paranoid lunatic, and he hides it very well. If it is not for the family, I don’t want to be with this kind of person touch."

"Don't make things worse." Morton let go of his hand. He couldn't bear the loss of five extraordinary people. In addition to those who died on the boat before, there were not many extraordinary people in the family.

"It's never been me who made things worse." The dwarf said, "I said earlier that I shouldn't be tempted by that island... But one thing is that I made a mistake. I didn't expect that five extraordinary people would not be able to do it."

On the other side, Li Qi came to several familiar lords.

"Master Li Qi!"

"Master Li Qi!"

"Master Simon, long time no see."

Everyone is a baron lord, but when they saw Li Qi, their attitudes were very respectful, including Li Qi's neighbor "Baron Sparks" Marvin Simon.

Unlike Li Qi who was invited two years ago and could only sit on the bench, now Li Qi is stronger in terms of strength.

Baron Sparks hugged Li Qi with a friendly attitude.

After knowing the power of artillery, the lords will inevitably think about another question, what will happen if the terrifying artillery is used in siege warfare.

Before that, although Li Qi single-handedly killed the defenders of the Iron Wall Fort, they thought that their castle was several times stronger than the Iron Wall Fort's defense, and they also had extraordinary people, so they were not afraid of Li Qi's risking their lives to attack the city.

Even if Li Qi is powerful, there is only one person, isn't he?
Unless he is like Prince Hoffman, who can sweep the world by himself.

The appearance of the artillery made them nervous.

The people under everyone have been working overtime to study artillery, yes, but now the only one who can take out artillery and use it in war is Baron Porcupine.

It's better to be friends than enemies.
