Lord of Rot

Chapter 577 Escape and Escape Journey
From today on, the news that Li Qi Clarence rode a huge dragon and defeated the white dragon will quickly spread throughout the Lurea continent.

He was already mentally prepared when he took action. It would be better to say that Li Qi was preparing to enter the field forcefully.

All strategies have no objection in the face of absolute strength. This was the case for Earl Bailong who owned the white dragon before, and the same is true for Li Qi who now owns the fire dragon.

"I couldn't hurt that dragon." Li Qi looked at the beam cannon that was almost scrapped and felt very distressed.

A shell that can release a super-scale beam cannon is worth 500 gold coins per shot. This is the premise of having R&D personnel. If you add in the cost of early research, talent cultivation costs, technology accumulation, knowledge wealth, etc., one shot can only cost ten thousand gold coins. More or less.

The barrel also has a cost, even more expensive than the shells.

Bode on the side is stunned, I'm going to die, you actually want to hurt that dragon?
Li Qi comforted Stacie: "It's okay. It's our plan to scare away that dragon. Next time he dares to show his face, we'll kill him!"

Although Li Qi strongly suspected that even if the beam cannon hit Bailong, it would only be able to injure him at most and would not be fatal.

He thought to himself: "The research on large-yield weapons must be followed closely, and we will go back and allocate some research funding!"

Bode arranged for his men to clean up the battlefield.

The three of them stood on the edge of the battlefield, looking at the battlefield where the terrain had completely changed as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had collapsed.

Let alone ordinary warriors, even extraordinary warriors would not be able to play a big role in this super-scale war.

"Linta Bay will become the most direct battlefield."

Li Qi sat on the tree stump and turned to look at Bode: "What preparations do you have? Waiting for the white dragon to attack again?"

"Earl White Dragon is huddled in Doon City behind Steel Knife Mountain and cannot leave the city." Bode's expression returned to a sinister expression: "Now it is difficult for us to resist the harassment of the nobles in the mother river, and we have almost no energy to go north."

They are all on their own, and Li Qi spoke more casually: "That white dragon is difficult to deal with. With this surprise attack, he will definitely pay attention next time. It will not be so easy to deal with him."

"Yeah" Bode nodded. It was not practical to leave Li Qi to help him deal with Bailong.

The whirlpool of war has already dragged most of Li Qi's power away...if the dragon is included, it seems that Li Qi's truly powerful power has not yet been used.

"I can lend you some of my people," Reacher said to Bode.

Stacie sat next to her, her ears twitching slightly but she didn't speak.

Although she wanted Li Qi to help, she also knew that no matter how unconditionally close the two territories were, they could not give unconditionally, just like Lintawan did not lend a helping hand when Li Qi encountered those problems.

Friendliness is the prerequisite for cooperation, and interests are the key to maintenance.

Bode looked at Li Qi. He was a taciturn person. At this moment, he looked at Li Qi quietly, knowing that what Li Qi was going to say next was the key.

"I hope that after you completely control the mother river, you can sell things to me, such as food, wine, clothes, etc. I want everything, as much as I want!" Li Qi said.

Bode said: "You sent troops, and the spoils of plunder should belong to you."

"You have to pay my soldiers!" Li Qi lightly punched Bode in the chest: "They are used as mercenaries, so they will not participate in the robbery."

"you sure?"

Bode looked at Li Qi who nodded seriously, feeling puzzled.

Looting for three days after breaking the city is a "rule" that can boost the morale of the army. I am afraid that only Li Qi can make his soldiers strictly abide by the rules. It is impossible for Lintawan soldiers to ask them not to loot after breaking the city.

However, Bode could also feel Li Qi's help to him. The competition for the interests of the soldiers on both sides would definitely cause conflicts. On the contrary, Li Qi's method of handling it was very good, just giving money per head.

"If there are any extraordinary people, I will hire them too."

"Oh, what a coincidence, I have about twenty of them, they are not cheap."

"You should have heard a saying." Bode punched Li Qi in the chest in return: "The crocodile shows only half of its head, but the wealth is hidden underneath."

"It's slang that's not smooth at all," Li Qi retorted.

The fire dragon used teleportation to leave. If possible, he really wanted to ride the fire dragon and fly around in the sky to show his strength.

However, the war has come, and Li Qi will not forget Chuina who he sent to Linta Bay. Bode immediately asked someone to bring a message back to Green Forest Castle. Not only that, he also gave Li Qi a chance to ask Master Jinkai if he wanted to Leave together. The two parties have a cooperative relationship. Now that they are in danger, it is understandable to find a safer place.

On the way back to Porcupine Territory.

Stacie finally couldn't help but asked: "What are your plans?"

Li Qi put his hands around her waist and rested his chin on his shoulder, smelling the light fragrance. Stacie leaned into his arms.

The rocket also slowed down its flight speed very wisely.

"Do you need a reason to help Lintawan?"

"Need" Stasi said softly: "You are a lord, and there are millions of people under your command who trust you. You cannot act based on your own emotions. You should think about the interests of the territory."

Li Qi said seriously: "Okay, then I will give you a reason. The mother river is very rich and is very close to Linta Bay."

"Yeah" she nodded slightly and listened quietly.

Unexpectedly, Li Qi suddenly changed the subject: "What do you think is the possibility of unifying the Luleiya continent with my strength?"

"Unification Lurea?!"

Even though she had had a premonition, Stacie was still startled at this moment.

"Build an empire, not a kingdom." Li Qi did not introduce much about the idea of ​​unification, but continued to ask: "Do you think I can do it?"

"It can't be done." Stacie shook her head: "Even if you have four dragons, you can't do it."

"Yes." Li Qi nodded: "Lurea is too big, information communication is too slow, and beliefs are scattered. Just like the news that Bol II is dead, I am sure there are still some areas in the world that don't know about it."

"So what do you want to do?"

"Our advantages," Li Qi said: "Economy and commerce, let us sell all the food in the harvest to us, and then we sell the food to food-deficient areas. When everyone cannot do without us, we have all the basic necessities of life, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation. He is the uncrowned king, no, he can still be crowned when the time comes." As long as Li Qi was included in his system, he never thought of letting him go.

"Of course, this is just a preliminary idea," Li Qi said, "but one thing you said is right, the four-headed dragon is definitely not enough."

What about the eight-headed dragon?What about the sixteen heads?
Where are all those dead dragons buried? I really want to dig them out!

……

"Where did you run to?"

"Over there? Or over there?"

"Don't let me catch them! Damn it!"

In the grass, Ella Clarence held her daughter Autumn, covering her mouth with her left hand and her daughter's mouth with her right hand.

If they make even the slightest sound, they're doomed.

Ella's eyes were red.

Some time ago, after her husband Leo was forcibly recruited by the Duke, Ella and her parents took their daughter and fled the city overnight.

Go find Reacher Clarence, even if there is no family relationship, as long as there is Clarence's surname, they don't want to live in the castle, but at least they can have a place to stay. After working for many years, they have saved a lot of money, even if It cost a fortune to escape the city, but there was still some left.

The snakehead who led them gave up the water route and took a boat to Porcupine Territory or Monkey Island, which only took a few days. However, the snakehead said that the Porcupine Fleet had been wary of ships in Donggang City recently, and all those who tried to get close were sunk.

Just go on foot.

One night, because her daughter had to go to the bathroom in the fall, Aila led her into the grass. Unexpectedly, she overheard an exchange between the smuggler and a person. It turned out that he had sold all of them to the robbers.

Terrified, Ella hurried back with her daughter and fled with her parents that night.

But it was still a step too late. The robbers contacted by the smuggler were already ambushing outside.

The parents worked hard to allow Aila to escape with their daughter Qiu, and many people escaped with them. Everyone helped each other along the way, but the pursuers were always behind them.

Everyone brought plenty of dry food.

However, the pursuers refused to let them go. After several dangerous situations, someone actually suggested that Ella throw her daughter Qiu out. As long as she cut off one of her legs and let her cry on one side, he and others could get out of the other side. direction to escape.

After Aila refused, the group of people actually prepared to abandon both mother and son.

It's just that they miscalculated. Ella's husband is a man from the Clarence family. Even though Leo is not as good as his brother, he is still a well-trained noble. Ella occasionally learns a few tricks from her husband.

Aila, finding the right opportunity, blinded one person's eyes with a wooden stick. The man screamed and became an abandoned child, while Aila ran away with her daughter in her arms.

However, no one dared to act with their mother and daughter. They were all afraid that they would be attacked by Aila, but they forgot that it was they and others who wanted to harm their mother and daughter first.

The footsteps faded away, and Ella breathed a sigh of relief.

Go south, all the way south.

It was hard to tell between day and night, but it was her daughter Qiu who supported Ella. She had never suffered so much, she was already sick, and her cheeks were always red.

After almost finishing the dry food, the tired mother and daughter finally saw the river.

river?
Ella asked the boatman at the dock: "How far is the Porcupine Collar?"

The boatman's accent was different from that of Donggang City. After Ellado asked twice, he said, "Porcupine collar?"

"This is Lord Li Qi Clarence's territory!" Ella nodded repeatedly.

"It's very far away." The boatman pointed his hand behind Ella: "There is a carriage in the direction you came from. It will be there in a few days."

"This, that..." Aila was anxious. She had never left Donggang City in her entire life.

When I heard my husband Leo talk about leaving the Porcupine Territory when he was a child and following Miss Red Rose to Donggang City, it sounded very calm, but I didn't expect that it would be so difficult for me to walk.

"If you want to go to Lord Li Qi's territory, go to Iron Valley." The boatman pointed to his boat: "My boat fee is not expensive, and I can get you there in two days at most."

"Excuse me, is there a pharmacist? My daughter is sick."

"That's going to cost a lot of money." The boatman looked at the poor mother and daughter, worried that they wouldn't be able to come up with the money.

Ella wanted to say that her last name was Clarence, but she also knew that no one would believe her. Fortunately, she had money.

"I have money!"

She didn’t know how much the boatman earned, but Ella rented a boat to Iron Valley alone, and her daughter also took medicine to reduce her fever, and she even got a delicious fish porridge.

As a price, she ran out of money.

On the way, Ella also chatted with the boatman and listened to many stories about Brother Li Qi, such as how hundreds of people defeated two thousand elites, and how there was a beautiful succubus singing in the bend of the water stream. She was covered with priceless gold and Made up of jewels, only those who sing with sincerity can attract her attention. If someone throws down an axe, she will return an axe made of pure gold.

For example, the Baroness of Longship Castle in Shuijian and Li Qi gave birth to a son. The evidence is that the young Baron Leard was picked up by Li Qi and brought up with him.

"Leard?" Ella remembered that Leo once said that his father's name was Lild.

If it were not a coincidence, what the boatman said should be true.

But more often than not, it was the boatman who thanked Li Qi. The trade routes were stable and everyone's life was easy.

The fatigue of countless days and nights dissipated with the ripples of the river water stirred by the oars.

The Iron Valley that Ella longed for has finally arrived.
