Lord of Rot

Chapter 560 Li Qi’s war song

Jackdaws fly across the vast territory,

War songs, legends, everything is destined.

……

Giant's Foot, Burning City.

The nobleman who killed Betty Bone, Ben Bone, woke up in the commotion.

Another day of leisurely time. Although the Burning City belongs to Prince Hoffman in name, in fact he mostly holds the power alone, and the busy 'Scheming Barbarians' have no chance to interfere here.

Especially as the transfer hub with the Porcupine Lord, connecting the Giant's Foot and the East Gorge, a large number of transactions made the Burning City become rich quickly, and the golden sun flowed into Ben's pocket like rain.

Sometimes when he was praying, he couldn't help but think of Reacher, and even wanted to sacrifice Reacher Clarence directly.

The woman on the bed had no time to worry about the love leaking out, so she helped Ben get dressed first, from shirt to cloth armor and robe.

He brushed off the wrinkles of his clothes, unzipped the cuffs, placed the unwashed foot on his chest, and resisted his nausea to put on his boots.

Ben reached out to lift the other person's chin, kissed him gently, and showed a smile that he thought was charming and handsome: "I'll come back to take care of you tonight!"

The other party responded with a shy smile, but after Ben left, the smile on his face turned bored: "It's just that you are good at talking!"

In order to show that the other party was capable, she shouted loudly until she lost her voice. This was purely physical work and also tested her acting skills. However, after her mother grew old and faded, her only assets were her youth, beauty, exciting status, and ability to perform. Especially performing is the biggest reason.

Men are so aggressive about falsehoods in certain aspects that they have no mercy even if they lie to themselves.

After leaving the room, the servants along the way greeted Ben respectfully after seeing him.

The sound of "Good day, Lord City Lord" was like the warm sunshine melting in the early spring, and the comfortable tail of Ben's front was raised.

"What's going on outside?"

As soon as he arrived at the City Lord's Hall, the smile on Ben's face disappeared.

There was a lot of commotion, and there seemed to be shouts of "everyone is allowed" and "natural".

It was noisy and noisy.

The door to the lord's hall was pushed open, and a knight in plate armor staggered in, half-kneeling on the ground, panting: "Sir! There's a commotion outside!"

"Who's causing trouble, Carol!"

"A group of believers," Knight Carroll said: "They ask you to release the prisoners held in the dungeon. They believe that killing is free, and we cannot restrict the free behavior of others."

Ben slammed his fist on the table: "What! Release the prisoners?"

He had never heard such an unreasonable request in his life. He was free to kill. Why couldn't he understand it?

"Who's the leader?" Ben asked.

"Saru, the 'Little Knife' of the Hofmann-Hogue family."

"Hasn't he been executed?"

"No, he joined the Naturalists."

My body shook suddenly.

"Naturalism?"

As a noble with giant feet, he has also heard about the beliefs and collusion of forces among the upper class. From the day he became the lord of Burning City, he was labeled as Vito's subordinate and was a firm supporter of Prince Hoffman. , but I also know that there are several religions that can be called cults that operate secretly behind the scenes.

However, it has always been those people in the tribe who were disobedient and provoked most of the attention, so not many people really cared about the Natural Cult.

"Come out with me and take a look!" Ben stood up and took two steps forward, then stopped and said, "Bring me my armor!"

Ben put on his armor, grabbed his sword and walked to the door. He saw that the soldiers had formed a shield wall, struggling to resist the collision of the Natural Cult believers.

The unarmed ordinary people were full of fanaticism and shouted, "Everything is empty and nature allows it."

In addition, some soldiers also joined the camp, making the defense more difficult.

Ben Bon drew his sword: "Kill the rebels first and defend this place!"

As soon as he gave the order, a young man ran into the soldier's arms, pulled out his long sword, and thrust the sword into the soldier's throat through the gap.

puff!Gurgling——!
Blood poured out.

Seeing that he was about to fall, Ben had to have the door closed, which was equivalent to shutting out most of his soldiers, but he had no choice but to do so.

Due to economic reasons, Burning City has a floating population of nearly 8 people. Now it is impossible for the soldiers under my command to resist the madness.

Next, most of the Burning City fell in one day, and the Natural Cult was like a virus spreading crazily.

People fall into despair, listen to the teachings in despair, the teachings enlighten and gain new life, and then the reborn people become believers to make more people fall into despair, and then preach the teachings to others in despair...a cycle of reincarnation.

It was originally a strategy that was easy to see through, but in the noisy and crazy environment, countless people were forced to change their minds.

Fear, and then follow the herd.

There are still a few people who can think independently in peacetime, let alone now, people are more submissive than pigs in the slaughterhouse.

Ben Bonn's last strength was assembled in the lord's hall. 12 fully armored soldiers, 5 archers, and 14 servants holding spades and brooms huddled tremblingly aside.

Ben wasn't even in the mood to see his sister/woman and his stepdaughter/niece/bedmate.

He walked back and forth, feeling restless.

Only the sound of his footsteps walking back and forth could be heard in the hall.

"Line up!"

The sudden man's shout was like thunder on a sunny day, penetrating the city wall and the door of the city lord's hall, and even making everyone's ears hurt.

"Go out and take a look." Ben looked at Knight Carol.

"Yes!"

Carol drew her sword and opened the door.

The siege and attack outside the door had already dispersed like a tide.

"Lord City Lord, they seem to have gone to the northern gate of Burning City!" Carol shouted over her shoulder, then climbed up the ladder.After running a few steps from the wall of the city main hall, Carol jumped to the three-story roof not far away. He rolled forward to lose strength. Even though he was experienced, he still felt sore after being thrown.

Carol jumped up and down on the roof nimbly, and he saw a large number of people being rushed towards the city gate.

When chaos begins, ordinary people are like donkeys being whipped with no chance to stop.

Two heights higher in front was the wall of Burning City. Carol gritted his teeth, discarded his helmet and armor along the way to minimize the load, and then jumped on tiptoes.

He once asked Vito for advice, and Vito didn't keep it secret. However, Carol's limited talent and financial resources could not take that step beyond the ordinary. But at the critical moment of Burning City, his heart was beating wildly, and he actually felt that he was really Can jump over.

Get to the edge and jump.

boom!
His right hand narrowly grasped the edge of the Burning City wall. The three fingers of his index finger, middle finger, and ring finger worked together. Sweat got into his eyes, and he had no strength to blink.

Finally, he hooked his left hand sharply and caught the edge.

Using both hands at the same time, he finally climbed up the city wall.

Carol came to the middle of the battlements and immediately saw the figure riding a flying horse.

He subconsciously reached out and wiped his eyes, wiping out the salty sweat.

"It's Reacher Clarence!"

The image of Li Qi as a knight riding a magical eagle is more popular than the porcupine flag.

In most of the Lulea continent, some people may not have heard of the porcupine flag, but when talking about the Sky Knight riding the Hippogriff, they will definitely think of Li Qi, even if most people don't know where Li Qi is the lord.

Legends and stories spread faster.

Behind Li Qi are a group of cavalry holding shields with porcupine symbols, followed by monkey symbols, mountain rats, foxes, bows and arrows, water bags and so on.

There are not many cavalry, followed by a large number of shield-bearing infantry, and finally a small number of archers.

Carol has interacted with the monkey leaders many times, and he can recognize at a glance that most of them are nobles from the monkey leaders.

There are rumors outside that Li Qi has taken the monkey collar and asked him to swear allegiance to him. It seems to be true at present.

The messy family flags represent that this is a legion composed of multiple families, with a total of about a thousand people.

Li Qi, dressed in gorgeous armor and holding a long spear, was walking back and forth while giving a standing speech.

But Carol has never seen anyone who can be so loud like him that people far away in the castle can hear his voice, and the coverage area probably covers most of the Burning City!

"There are our merchants in Burning City!" Li Qi shouted: "I heard them crying and begging for help. I felt that they were bleeding and their lives were about to end! The heretics are trying to destroy our peaceful and happy life. Can we Do you agree?"

"No!" The voice was a little messy, and some people even didn't speak.

Like Carroll, most of them were not optimistic about this siege, and even the vast majority of the nobles thought they were just here to surround him.

After all, Burning City has two gates, and there are mountains as natural city walls. It is impossible to completely encircle it, and naturally it is impossible to truly win through siege.

There are no siege equipment or even ladders, so it is simply nonsense to break the city.

Li Qi didn't care, and continued to shout loudly, so that his voice could be heard: "The Burning City is also our friend. Innocent people are being persecuted. Can we, who stick to the way of chivalry, just sit back and ignore it?"

"No!" The voice became more tidy.

The atmosphere was like burning carbon, heating everyone's heart.

Carol on the city wall was confused: "There are no siege equipment, and you plan to attack by force?"

He turned to look at the Burning City. The Natural Cult believers and the rebel soldiers were ready to face the enemy. When Li Qi led his people in, they would be attacked like a storm... His words were wrong, he It is impossible to rush in. That is the gate of Burning City. The gate is made of steel and baked using a special method to prevent insects and fire. It is stronger than a whole iron plate.

Li Qi had already started singing at the top of his lungs:
"I am a strong shield and a spear!"

It seemed that most people had never heard of this song. They looked at the figure riding the eagle in confusion but excitement.

Only the Porcupine Riders started singing along, indicating that they could too.

But I didn't expect that dozens of people could not suppress Li Qi's singing.

His voice was just too loud.

“Sharing joys and sorrows, plundering mortal enemies,
We work together for the sake of our family,

Beyond the storm and thunder,
Only glory will accompany you! "

The Porcupine Riders roared, "OH-HO-OH!"

Li Qi sang again: "Eternal Echo!"

"OH-HO-OH" This time, others are shouting along, so don't worry if it's not in tune.

"The Hall of Valor will summon me!"

"OH-HO-OH"

The momentum has completely burned up.

Especially the Porcupine soldiers, they know what the Hall of Valor is. When war is fearless, then entering the Hall of Valor after death is their last wish, which is endless glory.

"The Hall of Valor has summoned me!"

"OH-HO-OH!"

Their songs have silenced the noisy roars of the Naturalists in the Burning City.

"The Hall of Valor is calling me!"

Li Qi's voice stopped suddenly, and the entire team became quiet.

The air is quiet and everyone is taking a deep breath.

Everyone, including Carol on the city wall, looked at Li Qi in unison.

Li Qi pointed his raised spear at the gate of Burning City. Everyone's eyes moved and they understood where the final target was.

"Everyone!"

His voice lit up: "Charge with me!"
