Lord of Rot

Chapter 589 Brain Worm Invasion
The spectator seats at the training ground of the Porcupine Leader were full of people.

Li Qi put on a robe that he didn't like very much, and put on a cloak embroidered with porcupines to show the dignity of a lord.

Stacie stood beside him. Although her eyes were looking forward, her ears had already been quietly perked up, eavesdropping on the chat between Li Qi and the person next to her.

Next to Li Qi is the heartthrob lady who was invited.

Because of her beauty, a baron and a big businessman had a life-and-death duel. If this matter were discussed 100 years later, people would definitely be curious about how beautiful Becky was and why men would be willing to fight for her.

It's like he doesn't understand how beautiful Bao Si is.

Or maybe all heroes are love brains.

Well, there is always one dominant action between the big head in love and the small head in love.

"Li Qi, I just chatted with Sir Leler, my fiancé Mado!"

After meeting Li Qi, Miss Charming explained that things are different now, and the young man in front of her is no longer the country baron who specifically asked her to cooperate for a few golden days.

And she was really anxious. She didn't want a dwarf to compete for her and make her jealous, and that dwarf was Li Qi's.

Unless she actually got kicked in the head by a donkey.

She had always wanted to have something happen with Li Qi, but today she was very honest.

Perhaps because she saw Stacie in a blue dress with a knight's sword hanging on her waist, she chose to be quiet and only explained to Li Qi, but did not close the distance between the two without authorization. No affectionate gestures.

"I know it has nothing to do with you," Li Qi said.

The overlord of Chu is unparalleled throughout the ages, and he may not be able to beat the delicate Yu Ji.

Since ancient times, heroes have been sad for beauty.

Li Qi just felt that the two of them had no future and would be coerced by beauty, and their heads were probably filled with blood.

"Thank you." Miss Heartthrob lowered her head. Stacie's eyes had already swept over her, and she didn't dare to continue pestering Li Qi to chat.

"Sorry to excuse you, I'm going over there."

He pointed behind him, then turned and left.

To say that two people are really attracted by the heartthrob, and fight to the death for her, it is hard to say for tender cows and dwarves, it is absolutely impossible for dwarfs.

Unless the dwarf's mind was full of shit, he would never think that he could defeat the Baron who had been training for many years.

When they met just now, Li Qi also tested the two of them and didn't see any problems with them.

Seeing Li Qi coming, Taylor raised an eyebrow and said, "It's great to be young. If I were younger, I would go through fire and water for her."

"The charm of beauty." Li Qi nodded, recognizing the charm of the heartthrob lady.

The person responsible for maintaining order at the scene was Lacey Sith. Hussars patrolled the outside and musketeers were equipped as standard inside. Those who didn't know better thought that Li Qi was going to surround and kill the nobles present.

In addition to Heartthrob, Taylor and others who came to watch the competition this time, there were also minor nobles from other regions. Most of them had knighthoods, or they were just the second sons of nobles without titles.

Li Qi had seen some of them at the Spark Baron's banquet. At that time, they all circled around the Spark Baron, and Li Qi was ignored by everyone.

Now, they were circling around Li Qi again, but it was their turn to be ignored.

Li Qi had no interest in the "talents" left over from Baron Sparkle. He might as well cultivate them himself, as they were cheap, fast, and his loyalty was guaranteed.

Mado Frye, who had changed into plate armor, came out first carrying a spear.

After a while, the 'dwarf' Leler came out dragging a one-handed sword. To ordinary people, it was a one-handed sword, but to a dwarf, it was no different from a two-handed sword.

His whole body was wrapped in tailor-made iron armor that looked like a tin can. He walked with short, bowed legs at a very slow and funny pace.

Someone was already covering their mouths and laughing secretly.

Red Rose stood on the high platform, looking down at the two of them: "Sir Mado Frye, Sir Lele Lu, you will have a sacred competition under my auspices. The living will win and the dead will lose!"

This was also the scene that Li Qi and she had envisioned, using a sacred duel to announce his appearance, and also to show Li Qi's attitude to the outside world. He wanted to protect Red Rose and make her a duke.

"Yes, sir!" Mado Frye leaned on her spear and bowed her head to Red Rose.

"Of course, my beautiful lord!" The dwarf was much more frivolous.

Hong Qiangwei frowned slightly: "May the four gods bless you."

The battle begins.

The dwarf dragged his one-handed sword and rushed towards Baron Nenniu Wufang, shouting "Wow, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!"

"You can come again." Mado Frye didn't know whether he just wanted to humiliate the dwarf, or he really didn't want to kill anyone. Instead of pursuing the victory, he waved to the dwarf with his spear and motioned for the dwarf to get up and continue.

The dwarf climbed to his feet again.

Then he was swept down again.

Stand up and fall down again.

At first, people in the audience burst into laughter, but gradually some stopped laughing.

How could a knight who dared to launch a desperate attack against a more powerful enemy not be respected by others? Almost everyone felt a shock, and they were impressed by the fearlessness of the dwarf.

But there are a few people with different expressions.

Reacher had returned to Stacie.

"Don't you know the pain?"

"Well, he didn't feel any pain at all."

"Is it some kind of magic?" Stacie looked at Li Qi.

She knew that although Li Qi usually didn't do much, he was actually very accomplished in magic. He was involved in the production of the strange weapon currently named "Mushroom Cloud" in the Porcupine Territory. In the words of Tonks scholar, it requires as much as The spiritual power of the lake, powerful control ability, and top-notch magical understanding.

The most knowledgeable scholar may be in Stormwind City or in the Royal City Library, but one of the best spellcasters is definitely Li Qi.

He surpassed Scholar Tonks in a very short period of time. Even Hull, who was known as a genius with 'hands and feet', could only be evaluated in front of him: too ordinary.

"There are no traces of fluctuations in mental power." Li Qi shook his head: "He is very excited."

"Do you want to continue?"

"Let the scholars prepare." Li Qi tapped his index finger.

The aristocratic spectators who were watching the "Fearless Battle of the Dwarfs" suddenly saw the ground bulge, and a wall of earth rose up to forcefully separate the two. The earth turned into puppet soldiers, trapping the mad dwarf.

Mado Fry stopped and looked at Red Rose.

Someone was obviously involved, so the outcome of his battle should be judged by Red Rose.

As for forcing the fight to continue, Mado didn't think about it that way.

She glanced at Li Qi quietly, and after receiving Li Qi's nod in response, Red Rose said: "Suddenly, Sir Lele Lu had some physical problems. You won this battle, Sir Fry, you won. My true love."

"Thank you for your just pronouncement!" That tender face was full of excitement.

"I didn't lose!"

Although the dwarf was held down by the puppet soldiers, he did not give up his struggle: "I would rather die!"

He opened his mouth and tried to bite off his tongue, but the puppet soldier held his chin, preventing him from mutilating himself.

Most of the nobles sensed that something was wrong. The dwarf was like a crazy dog, barking, struggling, and fearless. It didn't look like he was fighting for love at all.

"Go find Ms. Marlene," Li Qi said to the soldiers on the side.

"Yes"

"Wait, there's Ake, call here too."

After Li Qi simply used his mental power to crush him, the dwarf fainted.

Marlene arrived and tried to enter his dream. As soon as she closed her eyes, she opened them with a look of horror. "What's wrong?"

"Only blood red," Marlene said, "He is very violent."

"I can tell he's very grumpy."

Li Qi looked at Ake.

"He's got a bug in his head."

"really!"

Li Qi felt angry because the dwarf looked exactly like the chicken he had used as a test subject.

"Can you get the bugs out?"

Ake nodded: "Yes, but his head has been hollowed out. He will definitely die after the bugs come out."

"A brain-like bug thinking instead of his brain?"

"Yes."

Li Qi breathed out and said, "If there is any bad news, tell me all."

"The bug in his head has laid eggs. As he breathes, the eggs are flying in the air. Many people may have been infected."

"Can you catch the eggs?"

Ake shook his head in frustration: "I can only find live bugs."

Live bugs eat the brain. After eating the brain, they will lay eggs and infect other people. At the same time, the brainless people will die. It is simply an endless cycle.

"Immediately gather all the scholars to conduct research. I want to get a method that can detect insect eggs in the shortest possible time." Li Qi gave instructions to the soldiers on the side, and then asked Ake: "Can you determine what the brain worm is? Did you start laying eggs at that time? How many times have you laid eggs?”

"Once, just now."

"That is not bad."

Li Qi breathed a sigh of relief. He clapped his hands and amplified his voice for everyone to hear: "Everyone, please stay where you are from now on and don't act casually. Well, this is an order!"

He had no intention of paying attention to the noisy nobles who were meeting like flies.

Because at this time he was already thinking about one thing, about attacking Donggang City.

Today's Naturalism is like a bed bug in the gutter. St. Ron has disappeared without a trace under Leonie's pursuit. The only person with whom he is definitely connected is Payne, the Duke of East Gorge.

It was quite reasonable for Li Qi to place the blame for the Nature Sect on Pine.

Is Pine in Donggang City still the same as before?Is there a brainworm in his mind that thinks for him?

……

Red Rose held a long sword, and under the gaze of everyone, she placed the sword on Mado Frye's shoulder: "I accept your allegiance, Sir Frye."

Mado Fry was greatly relieved.

He was full of anxiety when he participated in this battle. His relationship with Li Qi was not very good. In addition, the dwarf who wanted to steal his fiancée was a close associate of Li Qi, which made him even more uncertain about this trip.

So he never dared to actually kill the dwarf, but he didn't know why the dwarf went crazy and kept seeking death.

If the dwarf dies, it will definitely not be easy for him.

What happened next was beyond Mado's expectations. He won the contest, and Becky was still his fiancée. He also got the opportunity to be loyal to Red Rose and became his own person in a true sense.

Also taking the oath of allegiance was Tyler Ross.

I don't know that Hong Qiangwei was also very excited. Two nobles swore allegiance at one time. She was no longer a poor "Duchess".

……

"Yes, I have to fight back."

Li Qi pointed at the map. The invasion of brainworms had violated his bottom line. People around him could no longer be trusted, and relationships had become sensitive and tense.

Therefore, he put the first priority on completely solving Pine.

Tyler Rose apparently thinks so too.

"Pine is crazy now," he said: "He mobilized nearly 5 people to go north and launch an expedition to the north."

"All soldiers?"

"They are all militiamen or serfs who do not have strong combat effectiveness... Most of the nobles are waiting and watching, a small number of nobles are unwilling to follow Pine, and the remaining part are foolish loyalists. I have some friends who can work hard to recruit them. "

Taking the lead in launching a war is not that simple.

The mobilization of troops, logistics preparation, strategic planning, etc., even if Li Qi delegates all these things to the lower levels, it cannot be completed in a few days.

But there is also good news, there is already a magic method for finding insect eggs.

Because the time is still short, most of the eggs are in the respiratory tract, so as long as you clean with saline, the eggs will be washed out.

For a small number of those that go deep into the brain, the spell caster apprentices can determine the location and then ingest the eggs from the air to ensure that they are absolutely clean.

There happened to be not many people present. After several detailed inspections, the caster apprentices specially transferred back from Iron Wall Castle took out the eggs one by one.

Outside the porcupine leader, the army is in preparation.

The first batch of troops to attack Donggang City numbered 3000 people, including 200 wing cavalry, 500 musketeers, and 1500 musketry infantry. The remaining 800 people were responsible for logistics, among which the largest number of people were needed for ammunition transportation, including artillery, artillery shells, and heavy machine guns. etc.

It takes a dozen carriages.

In addition, the amount of food and grass is also extremely terrifying.

There are also pharmacists who accompany the army, and spellcasters who accompany the army.

It seems like he is fighting a protracted war, but only those who deeply understand the power of these weapons understand that this is a blitzkrieg. If the rhythm is well controlled, Li Qi can completely capture the East Gorge before the spring flowers bloom, allowing Red Rose sat on the throne of Duke.

This time the legion is led by Li Qi, and the deputy commander is Red Rose.

In addition to this are teams of extraordinary soldiers who serve as special operations teams.

"This is not an invasion!"

Li Qi rode an eagle and hung high in the sky, ensuring that his voice could be heard by every soldier: "A weird insect that can eat our brains and rob our souls. I believe you have all heard about Lele Regarding Jazz, he took out a brain worm as thick as a finger from his head, and I tell you, it’s true!”

The soldiers stood up straight, with shock in their eyes, but no one spoke without permission.

After years of training, military discipline has been firmly engraved in their hearts.

“Bugs drive people crazy and stop thinking!”

"Now, there is also a worm in Pine Leopold's mind. He ignored the safety of the Dongxia people and proactively started a war with the North!"

"Our responsibility is to eliminate these nasty bugs!"

"set off!"

On the wall of Porcupine Castle, Stacie held her sword in both hands and watched the army leave.

He could only let Fengsong say to himself: "Waiting for your triumphant return."

Li Qi, who was in the sky in the distance, seemed to be aware of it. He turned his head to look back and waved his hand.

Stacie couldn't help but wanted to raise her hand, but found that someone beside her seemed to be moving faster.

"Fami~"

Phoenix Eyes Lan, who raised his hand, was a little embarrassed: "He will come back safely."

Stacie nodded seriously: "Of course!"
