Lord of Rot

Chapter 401 It Must Be Betrayal

The body of Kunk Oasis was also carried away.

The head that was eaten half of the corpse, and the attack of the slave owner can only be an episode, and Li Qi has no better way than telling the wandering knights to pay more attention.

In the desert area, manpower is insufficient, and many things need to be prioritized.

Complete control of the Golden Cauldron Baron's territory is the first thing to do.

There are also training soldiers and strengthening the strength of the Bangta Bazaar. These are left to Lin Yu to do, saving worry and effort.

The next step is to open up business routes. His main goal in coming to the desert is to make money.

Of course, after he has a strong stone in his hand, and has 15 ghouls to make up for the quota, he used to only want to shrink and make money, but now he thinks too much, and his strength makes him swell.

"My lord, the caravan is here, and there is also the honey you asked for, and a few letters."

“Just in time”

Recently, I was worried about taking no drugs, and the delivery of extraordinary honey was a solution to the urgent need, and the follow-up caravan would also help to open up business routes.

……

Yellow sand fills the sky.

Sun exposure.

The afternoon temperature was suffocating.

On the outskirts of a certain camp in the desert, a dozen dried corpses were hung on a dozen wooden pillars.

They used to be the owners of the camp, but now the camp has changed to a new owner.

Desert camp inheritance features: Hanging the previous owner on the post.

Several vultures hovered above, watching the shriveled corpse.

Finally, a vulture couldn't stand it anymore, spread its wings and slid down.

It landed on the pillar, lowered its head and pecked at the corpse, and the high temperature exposure made the water in the corpse evaporate quickly, so the rot was not so serious.

There was a sudden explosion in the air.

An arrow pierced the vulture's chest precisely, and with only a scream in time, the vulture fell to the ground.

After two twitches, there was no movement.

On the ground, there were already four or five vulture corpses that had been shot with arrows.

"Haha! Hit!"

On the sentry tower not far away, a mercenary threw down the bow and arrow in his hand, and proudly reached out to his companions: "Fuck you, bring the money."

Another mercenary spat unhappily: "I'm not used to shooting birds, if it's your mother, I'm sure!"

He took out two silver moons from his pocket and smashed them into the opponent's hand.

The mercenary who shot the vulture just now grabbed Yinyue and didn't care about his companion's swearing: "Then you have to ask my father if he agrees, and he agrees, I have no objection."

"Do it!" The mercenary who lost the money cursed helplessly, but there was nothing he could do.

"Do you want another game?"

"Ten pieces! I want to earn back my money with interest!"

"Give you a chance!"

The competition between the two was about to begin when a black shadow suddenly appeared in the distance where the sand and the sky connected.

"Someone!"

The sentry mercenaries stopped to compete and have fun, and waited until the black shadow approached and recognized the person before sticking out their heads and shouting: "What's the matter?"

"Open the door! Big deal!" shouted the man below.

The two sentry mercenaries did not act, but looked at each other, and the mercenary who kept winning said, "Go."

"Why should I go?" The other person was upset.

The mercenary popped out two silver moons: "Here."

"This belongs to me!" Another mercenary happily took Yinyue and quickly went down the sentry tower.

Unbolt the latch and pull the door open.

The man on horseback rushed in quickly, and didn't even hear a few dirty words from the mercenary who opened the door.

The horseshoes galloped all the way, and the dust was flying.

When he arrived at the second-floor hall of the camp, he got off his horse and handed the reins to the dozing guard: "Give the horse water!"

The guard who was woken up glanced at the person and muttered, "I think you need water more than horses. Shall I bring you water?"

"What about the captain?"

"Inside, I'll report to you." The guard said, wanting to hand back the horse's reins, so he didn't want to feed the horse. The water well was far away, and it was exposed to the sun along the road. How could he hide himself in the small shed and take a nap.

"I'll go in by myself!"

He opened the door and went in. The guard had no choice but to lead the horse and leave.

Camp hall.

The walls are thick and the windows are very small. It is extremely hot outside, but once you come in, you feel very comfortable and cool.

A man was wearing an aristocratic robe that went against the season, with a thick, multi-layered cotton collar that made people worry that he might get prickly heat all over his body.

He held a delicate gold cup in his hand, and a pretty maid with cool blond hair and blue eyes was serving him with a wine bottle.

Compared with men's overly gorgeous robes that can be compared to winter, the maid's clothes are very simple and thin.

The light gauze covers the white melon, and the long skirt covers the golden grass.

The two are totally in two seasons.

When the person who entered the door looked at the maid, the other party not only did not feel ashamed, but smiled back.

"Lu, you came just in time!" The man in a thick robe waved his hand, pointed to the map on the table and said, "I'm going to surround Mama City from here, first let our people transport the merchants and food out, the remaining food in Mama City can last up to 10 days, as long as we surround it for 10 days, that city will be ours!"

"Leader" Lu's expression was not good: "Something happened to Jones."

"What's going on?" The man called the leader stood up straight, the robe of his clothes opened a hole, and a burst of cold air gushed out from inside.

The reason for the coolness of the room seems to be found.

Lu shivered and said, "Jones took 14 extraordinary people to find the Baron of Golden Cauldron, and jointly attacked the Bonta Bazaar."

"I asked him to do this," said the head of the group: "Earl Buffalo made me a viscount, but he was unwilling to do so. He only gave Mama City a small place, and we had to fight it ourselves. If we only got Mama City, we would be like the Horseshoe family. We could only continue to do mercenary or robber business in the future, and became the knife in the hands of Earl Buffalo.

"Brothers don't want to be bloody mercenaries for the rest of their lives. I want to think about everyone. I can just take this opportunity to take down the territory of the Bangta Bazaar and the Baron of Golden Cauldron. As long as we master this way, the Earl of Buffalo will not be able to trap us, and we will not become like the Horseshoe family."

For this reason, the group leader did not hesitate to send 15 extraordinary people under him, just to make a quick decision and eliminate all potential threats. He even deliberately imagined the danger of Baron Porcupine to the maximum, guessing that the other party had 10 extraordinary people with him.

It can be said that he has exhausted his rights and is foolproof.

If it really develops according to the direction the leader wants, the mercenary group will be able to jump out of the trap, eat the bait given by the Earl of Buffalo, and lose the hook.

When he was stable, Earl Buffalo would have nothing to do with him.

Thinking of this, the leader asked, "Where is Jones? Why didn't you come back?"

"None of them came back," Lu said.

"What do you mean?"

The group leader didn't react, not because he was short-sighted, but because he couldn't imagine any other situation that the 15 extraordinary people couldn't cope with and couldn't escape.

Even if thousands of troops can't beat it, if 15 extraordinary people want to escape, it's impossible that none of them can escape.

"Jones and Baron Golden Cauldron besieged the Bonta Bazaar, but no news came out. Now that the Banta Bazaar is open to the public, caravans from all over the place are coming and going normally. Baron Golden Cauldron has also returned to his territory, but fifteen of Jones and the others disappeared."

The head of the group asked: "Disappeared?"

Lu nodded: "It is very likely that he chose to betray and join the Baron Porcupine. He has won many battles in the East Gorge, has two territories in his hands, and has recently married and engaged to the Crocodile family."

"Impossible!" The leader shook his head: "Jones can't do that kind of thing."

He said it was impossible, but in fact, he already had some belief in his heart.

One side is the upstart lord who is gaining momentum, and the other side is the newly appointed desert viscount who doesn't even have a territory. It's not hard to guess which side to choose.

In the entire wild boar mercenary group, only the leader himself became a nobleman, which was also the plan of Earl Buffalo to divide the mercenary group. He also knew that his own people must be dissatisfied.

"Maybe it's the Earl of Buffalo!" said the head of the group with a gloomy face.

Is there any other possibility besides betrayal?
It is impossible for all 15 extraordinary people to be killed, and there is no way for the news to spread, and no one can escape the unilateral massacre.

I also know that it is absolutely impossible!

If Baron Porcupine was that strong, he wouldn't be hiding in Bonta Bazaar.

"what should we do?"

"Take down Mama City according to the original plan!" said the group leader, "As a Viscount, I need a territory of my own."
