Lord of Rot

Chapter 506 The New Earl of Monkey Island

"coming!"

The silverfish family's boat disappeared directly into the sea. Seeing the porcupine's ship approaching, Maer breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that they didn't fire infinitely terrifying artillery. They will lose, after all, they have cultivated many extraordinary beings through griffon grass.

Not only the tuna family, other families also have similar superhumans.

The earldom is much better than the barony in terms of foundation. It can even be said that this small island is a small country on the sea.

Maer drew out his long sword: "The archers are ready..."

boom!
A huge burning steel fireball pierced the sky and directly smashed the watchtower, and the flying rocks caught everyone by surprise.

The falling rocks flew towards him, and Mal's cheek was cut in a hurry. Feeling the coldness on his cheek, his heart sank to the bottom. The other party clearly expressed his attitude, surrender.

If you want to resist, then really come to artillery to plow the ground.

The artillery weapon that I have high hopes for has a range of less than half that of the porcupine, and it is not accurate.

Looking at the porcupine, it was able to achieve precise strikes. No one would think that the precise shot at the archer just now was accidental.

What else can I do?
In another place, Li Qi, who was looking at the sand table, felt helpless.

There are many dead-headed knights in the world. They are very loyal and will not give in easily because of the strength of the enemy. If this kind of knight is his subordinate Li Qi likes it very much, but if it is an enemy, he will not like it at all. .

Artillery costs money. If you can, fire less artillery. Especially from the sand table, the people on Monkey Island spread out their teams quite a bit to avoid being bombarded by concentrated fire.

Killing only a dozen people in one shot is not worth it at all.

There are at least three to five thousand soldiers on the island, and there are serfs trembling with sickles and pitchforks to make up the number. 100 of them are not as expensive as a cannon.

Replacing the alchemy bomb can of course have a larger strike range, but the cost will increase again.

The other party also guessed this, so they used this method to deal with it.

Forcibly landing on the island, the gap in the number of people is too large. The opponent is not very short of extraordinary people, and a dozen or twenty extraordinary people can still make up. After all, this is the earl's territory.

If the extraordinary man cooperates with a large number of soldiers, if Li Qi wants to forcibly land on the island, even if he has a hall level, the loss will not be small.

"Wash the floor for me!"

Li Qi looked irritated, he slapped the table and gave the order directly.

Isn't it just money?
Although it is very profitable to directly accept thousands of able-bodied captives who are good at fighting, and it is also important to keep the land and buildings intact, but Li Qi wants this island now.

There are many people on the island, and artillery fire will not kill them.

The 8 ships that received Li Qi's order began to bombard indiscriminately. Compared with the semblance of a salvo before, the almost non-stop artillery fire turned the entire island into a purgatory.

Mar obviously didn't expect this to happen, but he didn't need to think about it soon. A cannonball that had already aimed at him kept adjusting its angle in the air, and then hit him at a tricky angle, with a bang. Finally, a large pit was left in place, and there were bloody traces of the swatted mosquitoes, making it hard to find the body.

Seeing the people of Monkey Island scurrying away with their heads in their hands, the demoralized ones, 'Dwarf' Lele waved and shouted: "Surrender, we surrender! I know you can see me!"

The battle for Monkey Island came to an abrupt end in half a day.

Before many people could react, the largest island in the kingdom had already changed its lord.

……

The residents of each territory have a strong sense of identification with their lords and nobles, based on blood, belief, and various reasons. This is why Li Qi chose to support a "Princess Sophia" instead of directly occupying the desert and attacking the water stream. The same is true for the land. Little Lild can be a lord, but Li Qi definitely cannot.

A territory is a small country with complete autonomy, and they cannot accept the rule of "invaders".

The total population of Monkey Island is about 50000, and they don't believe in the four gods, they believe in the sea god, and firmly believe that the ocean can bring them wealth and life.

The families on the island use various seafood as their family emblems.

Li Qi originally planned to stay on the island without anyone else, but he didn't expect them to surrender so simply and so quickly.

So that day he took two palace-level officials, Isis and Qiang Shi, by boat to Monkey Island.

The script he gave himself was not the intruder, but the tit for tat of the invaded.

Therefore, their attitude towards Monkey Island is very firm, and they are willing to cooperate and pledge their allegiance. Those who hand over their freedmen and slaves may continue to be nobles.

If you don't want to, just kill them.

With everyone being like this, you wouldn’t think that I would be easy to talk to.

And the method for the people of Monkey Island to choose to accept themselves as the new lord is also very simple, directly copying the previous method of Tiegu.

First break up the work, divide it, and sit in a row, and then shout slogans every day.

Transform from labor to ideology.

If one generation is not enough, then two generations, and then three generations.

And that's not a bad thing.

Not only is there no slavery, but it directly forces you to work 8 hours a day, and forces you to rest and even have holidays. Isn’t it terrible?
As soon as Li Qi's decision was announced, it immediately aroused strong opposition from the two families. Will the slaves under their hands still be slaves? Not only must the slaves work according to Li Qi's requirements, but they must also be paid?There's even a holiday?

After the two of them finished talking endlessly.

"Kill" Li Qi said calmly to the hussar who came with him and acted as his personal guard: "Remember to kill the whole family. Whether they can be killed cleanly is up to you."

He didn't have a good impression of these Monkey Island people, so he just pretended to be pirates to stop the goods, but he actually hit his head on his own head. Now that he lost to himself, he should be willing to gamble and admit defeat.Therefore, it is best to set an example for the outside world, to scare the monkeys, and for the nobles present to take a look.

The hussar nodded: "Yes!"

"Sir, I think your decision is very good. Sir, please spare us!" The nobleman who was dragged out was still an extraordinary person, but after hearing Li Qi's words, his legs were frightened and he was unable to use any extraordinary power. .

Another cried loudly: "Sir, I had no intention of opposing you, it was him, he coerced me!"

Li Qi raised his hand, and the hussars who were dragging people out stopped.

He leaned forward slightly and asked, "You mean, I'm easy to talk, better than him?"

"I……"

Is it easy to talk, or not easy to talk?
The ability of the superhuman finally played a role. The two broke free and kowtowed on the ground. Supernatural's head hit the ground, and the floor tiles were cracked with cobweb patterns.

The other nobles present looked down at the toes of their shoes, as if there was something beautiful there.

Everyone is a prisoner, so it is not bad if they can save their lives or even maintain their own status. Of course, it is undeniable that they just want to fight against Li Qiyang first. good.

It’s just that he didn’t expect that Li Qi’s first step was a major reform. Not only did he bring all the free people and slaves and serfs together, disrupting the redistribution, but he also directly deprived all nobles of their rights, which meant that they Have management rights, but can no longer collect taxes, let alone a slave is their private finances.

I can accept you as the new lord, but you have done too much, so if these two people don't jump out, someone else will jump out.

Absolutely?I'm going to drive you all to extinction, and then transfer management talents directly from Porcupine Collar and Iron Valley.

Although 50000 people are not easy to manage, there are quite a lot of management talents under Li Qi, and they can totally handle it.

It's just that Li Qi was kind, and felt that there was no need to be too cruel. He didn't kill this group of people, but kept them to help. After all, they are local snakes.

But I didn't expect my kindness to be immediately regarded by this group of people as a signal to kick their noses and face their faces.

Only then did they remember that this was the ruthless man who killed Morton, the Ostrich Knight, in front of the king over a disagreement. Not to mention that genocide was a common occurrence, the power of today's artillery attack was enough to make many of them present. Had nightmares for months.

It's not that they don't know Li Qi's ruthlessness and terror, but that when a person expresses the attitude of "I need you", these people will think that he has value for use, so it is logical to make a condition.

If the conditions are not suitable, it can be discussed.

It's a pity that they couldn't guess that Li Qi didn't care about them at all. If no one surrendered, he would kill the island even if it was bombarded for a day.

Li Qi, who owns several territories, seems to have little money in his hands, but he is really not particularly short of money. It's just that money must be spent wisely, so he will be deliberately frugal.

Li Qi didn't look at the two people who were kowtowing crazily and begging for mercy, but looked at the dwarf: "Lele, what do you think?"

He doesn't like dwarves very much, but sometimes he has to admit that the other party is still very sensible.

If the dwarf hadn't taken the initiative to surrender and persuaded the frightened nobles to surrender, Li Qi's landing on the island would not have been so smooth.

The two nobles who were kowtowing also raised their heads and looked at Laile eagerly. After all, this was one of their own. As long as he nodded, he would definitely have a chance to survive.

The dwarf didn't answer Li Qi directly, but asked, "Will you follow my advice?"

Li Qi smiled and said in a malicious tone: "Of course not!"

The two nobles, who had just gained a little hope, felt their hearts suddenly turn cold and their whole bodies were as cold as ice.

"Then I think they should be damned," said the dwarf. "It is a challenge to your majesty not to obey your orders."

Everyone did not expect that the dwarf would say this.

"But" the dwarf said again: "Why not give them two a chance? I think they must be very eager to complete your mission now, more than anyone else."

The two nodded repeatedly, and they recognized that it was the dwarf who was saving themselves.

Indeed, as long as you can save yourself and the lives of the entire family, you can throw away all your rights and wealth.

At least for now, it can be discarded. In the future, it will definitely not be reconciled to recovering a life.

"You're right." Li Qi nodded: "But I told you before, I won't listen to your suggestions."

He waved his hand, and the two who thought they had saved their lives were dragged out by the hussars. This time, no one could stop them, and some even peed their pants in fright.

It is necessary to kill chickens and monkeys. Compared with the horror of artillery, Li Qi hopes that they can remember how terrifying he is.

Mercy is reserved for those poor laborers. These corpses are vegetarians, except for nobles who hinder their own development and have no effect. If they can die two more, they will die two more. Without them, maybe the action will be faster.

After what happened just now, Li Qi even began to think about killing all the nobles in Monkey Island.

"Yes, you just said that." The dwarf nodded.

Because of Li Qi's iron-blooded tactics, everyone on the island was gathered together that day and acted in ignorance as instructed.

The management of the porcupine collar has already transported a large number of people here, and the redistribution operations are in an orderly manner.

And those nobles who have lost control will also use their remaining prestige to help maintain order on the spot.

If any slave was disobedient or made trouble on purpose, Li Qi would directly attack his former master. He wanted to kill these guys, so he didn't need a reason for doing things.

At night, the new Earl of Monkey Island, who had finished his work for the time being, finally saw the corpse of a griffin hidden under the tuna family.
