Lord of Rot

Chapter 592 Bloody but Merciful
"what happened?"

Little George's attack has been going on for a long time. The invincible artillery and the Black Sheep Heavy Armor Mercenary Group are surrounding the castle gate and dare not move forward.

"There's something terrible in there."

"horrible?"

Little George squinted his eyes and saw only a crowd surrounding him in the distance: "Where is Goethe?"

"I just rushed over."

The town gate opened, and Goethe, the leader of the mercenary group, jumped off his horse: "What's going on?"

He also noticed the situation here. He had an absolute advantage, but for some reason he was suddenly blocked at the door. The people in the mercenary group were hesitating and frightened, as if they had seen something terrifying.

"Immortal monster!"

"It's the projection of God!" Elf White Falcon, who followed Goethe on horseback, hugged his long sword and said: "The projection of the god has the characteristics of immortality, and this god is very powerful. The more he kills, the stronger he becomes."

"God? Bai Falcon, that's not funny at all. If there is a god in the world, it would be really shameful for him to personally participate in this war."

Goethe put on his helmet and pulled out his long sword. The sound of an urn came from the helmet: "Are you interested in killing gods with me?"

"I didn't want to die." Bai Falcon also jumped off the horse: "But you can try it. The power inside is not very strong. I just want to see if God is really immortal!"

Speaking of killing gods, Bai Falcon's eyes flickered with persistence.

When the two entered the door, no one knew what happened inside, but after more than a dozen breaths, Goethe flew out upside down, hit the ground and vomited blood and was seriously injured. Bai Falcon even broke an arm and fell into coma.

"Retreat!" Goethe shouted: "Retreat immediately!"

Little George Kein, who already had an absolute advantage and planned to counterattack the Royal City, was blocked by a "god". Not only did he not dare to continue fighting, he instead abandoned Feixiang Valley and fled eastward, just like he had abandoned the Royal City and fled eastward. , run simply.

Two days on the run.

"Your Majesty, ahead is Three Forks Fort."

"Three Fork River Castle, who is the lord?" Little George had no impression of the East Gorge nobles. The only East Gorge nobles he could remember were the Golden Thorn Sword family and the Porcupine family.

"This one……"

The attendants who escaped together were also confused. This was the minister's job and was not within their scope of work.

"My little bear, what's wrong?" Queen Orianna asked as the carriage window opened.

"We'll have a place to rest soon, mother," said little George.

"That's good." Queen Orianna breathed a sigh of relief. Her charm needed to be set off by tens of thousands of dresses, the queen's crown, and the pursuit of popularity.

On the run, she was just an ordinary down-and-out woman with a haggard look on her face.

"Your Majesty," the sentry who went to inquire rushed back: "The front is the territory of the porcupine."

"Clarence?!"

After thinking briefly, little George shouted: "Sir Goethe!"

"Yes!" Goethe, the leader of the mercenary group, appeared in front of Little George dragging his wounds.

"We have a castle to rest at tonight. I need you to knock down the Three Forks Castle before sunset. Are you confident?"

Goethe did not hesitate: "Before sunset, you will live in the castle!"

Crisis also represents opportunity!

And based on Goethe's understanding of Little George during this period, if he really dared to hesitate, Little George's sword would definitely cut him down.

"Very good! I'm waiting for your good news!"

Little George dismounted. He was tired from riding and wanted to take a good rest.

Along the way, little George felt aggrieved every time he thought about how he was driven away from the Royal City and fled after arriving in Feixiang Valley for only a few days.

After watching Goethe lead the mercenaries to slowly advance to the Three Forks River Castle, little George walked to Queen Orianna's carriage. The mother and son were quietly discussing something in the carriage.

With the level of force of the Black Sheep Heavy Armor Mercenary Group, it would be a piece of cake to attack a Sancha River Fort that was basically unguarded.

The horn sounded.

The heavy artillery fired first to bombard the castle gate.

Two cannons blasted open the door.

Then the cavalry charged.

When the sun was still half over the mountain, little George was already sitting on the lord's chair of the castle.

That night, little George called Goethe into his room.

Bai Falcon was not assigned a separate room. Those mercenary bastards violently assaulted women immediately after entering the city. Everyone needed a room. For mercenaries like him who needed to take turns to watch the night, several people lived together.

Suddenly, White Falcon's long ears moved.

He stood up and put on his clothes, and was about to walk to the door. After thinking for a while, he turned back and picked up his sword, then opened the door and left the room.

Outside the door, Goethe was leaning against the wall.

"It's time for us to escape again," Goethe said: "Go to the north and meet the king's fiancée, where he will start his true rise."

Bai Falcon was very indifferent: "I won't go."

"why?"

"I'm afraid of the cold."

"..."

Goethe advised: "You long for peace. We will definitely change the pattern of this world and quell the war."

"I need you, Bai Falcon!"

His sincere gaze only received an indifferent response from Bai Falcon.

"I'm not interested in saving the world."

Early the next morning, the soldiers who had followed Little George from Flying Valley were shocked to find that the king was gone, and all the key members of the Black Sheep Heavy Armor Mercenary Group were also gone.

But everyone was quite calm, at least the king left them a castle.

……

After Li Qi got the news, he immediately sent people to Sanchahe Fort.

Nowadays, Sanchahe Fort only has a poor output of various alchemical materials and ores that are of some value, but they are not worthy of its large number of troops. Otherwise, the revenue will not be enough to feed the soldiers and horses.

The nearly abandoned castle was actually taken advantage of.

His corpse watched the whole process and saw little George coming in, but escaped before dawn.

"Very wise choice."

Li Qi sat in the red rose's left-hand position in the Roaring Castle's meeting hall, and his status was self-evident.

When Duke Yaori was still alive, Li Qi could only sit in the corner like a minion, listening to the great nobles talking and fighting for a few hundred gold days.

No one would care about him then.

Now, he is sitting here without saying a word, but everyone will subconsciously look at him when they make suggestions or ideas.

Nobles and lords who pledged allegiance came one after another.

It also allowed Li Qi to truly see how many nobles there were in the East Gorge.

The small lords with only a dozen soldiers in the army also made a special trip to swear allegiance. Li Qi was worried that they would come to him to reimburse their travel expenses.

Finally quiet down.

Duke Red Rose turned around and asked, "How is it?"

"Huh?" Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and then understood what she was asking: "It's nothing. The damage to Trifork Fort is not big, but Little George has fled to the north." She knew that Li Qi had always been inclined to kill Little George first. , then conquer the northern border, and finally attack the East Gorge.

Now that Li Qi is helping him occupy the East Gorge, Little George has joined forces with the Northern Territory. It seems that he has saved a lot of effort and can solve two problems at once.

Li Qi and Hong Qiangwei were chatting. Dongxia felt very safe with him in charge.

It was also the fundamental reason why countless small nobles immediately turned their heads to worship him.

On the contrary, the middle-level nobles were still waiting and watching. Most of them had one idea in mind. If Li Qi really came to the city, they would surrender and kneel down. But if Pine really killed someone, they would naturally support the one who survived in the end.

The loyalty of the nobles is only useful to the living.

"I'm going to Sanchahe Fort." Li Qi's expression suddenly changed.

"what happened?"

"Nothing, small matter."

……

At Three Fork River Fort, the abandoned soldiers stretched out comfortably at sunrise.

With a castle to rely on, they can live well in this troubled world.

"I think we should elect a lord! Let him lead us!"

"Yes, I think the lord should have strong power, one can fight a hundred!" said a strong extraordinary person.

"In a real war, it's useless even if you fight one against a thousand! I think the lord should have a brain, and life will be better!" said a Mediterranean soldier.

"I don't agree!" said a veteran with a gray beard: "I think the lord must be old and experienced. Even if there is a conflict in the future, he can lead us to live well! Living longer is wisdom!"

People are very openly competing for the position of lord of the castle.

Until one person suddenly said: "I think that if you want to be a lord, you must at least be a noble!"

"Is an illegitimate child considered a noble?"

"I have half the noble blood in me!"

"I accidentally dropped a few drops of urine into the broth I made this morning. Do you think this is urine or soup? Do you drink it?"

"You fucking court death!"

The situation immediately became chaotic, with people attacking each other crazily and insulting each other.

Bai Falcon, who had a broken arm, sat outside the crowd and watched the woman in front of him bandage and change the dressing on his broken arm.

The other party is not beautiful, but he is not immune to the fate of being persecuted.

Maybe she was afraid of death, maybe she knew that Bai Falcon would not force her to do something, or maybe she was keenly aware that Bai Falcon's status was very high and no one dared to provoke him, so the woman took the initiative to stay with him, take care of him, and change his medicine. .

Looking at the woman, Bai Falcon thought of the father and daughter he met when escaping from the desert, and the girl who talked to him on the carriage.

They looked obviously different, but their figures overlapped in Bai Falcon's eyes.

"How are you doing here?" Bai Falcon asked.

"When do you mean?" the woman asked softly.

"In the beginning?"

"Baron Linsen's family treated us well at first," the woman said, "let us have jobs and food to eat. Although the Baron did not have a strong army, he was able to prevent us from getting involved in the war. He is a very good lord."

"Then?"

"After that, they betrayed their faith!" The woman's voice became much sterner, but she didn't look very angry, but rather indignant: "Everyone's situation got worse and worse, until Mrs. Stacy arrival."

"Porcupine?" Bai Falcon looked at the porcupine flag. They occupied it too hastily yesterday, and no one in the castle resisted. No one has changed the flag yet.

"Yes, they easily broke through the Three Fork River Fort. They only executed Linsen's family without touching anyone. Our lives are better than before."

The Black Sheep Heavy Armor Mercenary Group, which always talks about "peace", first started a war in Endor, then killed non-stop in Flying Valley, and even broke into a castle just to spend one night.

"You deserve to die," the woman said tremblingly, "If Mr. Li Qi and Mrs. Staci knew what you were doing, they would definitely kill you."

"Impossible." Bai Falcon was not angry. He shook his head and said, "Nobles are all the same."

The soldiers and mercenaries left behind in Feixiang Valley seemed undisciplined and chaotic, but each one of them was a battle-hardened warrior and an asset on the battlefield.

Who would attack them for a small mistake?

"Rumble" the sound of horse hooves sounded.

The castle gate was breached yesterday, and there is still no gate.

The soldiers on guard on the city wall immediately signaled.

Enemy attack!

Rumbling, the sound of horse hooves is getting closer and closer, and the sound of thunder is in my ears.

The woman stood up in surprise: "It's Mr. Li Qi and they are here!"

"唳——!" An eagle roar came from the sky.

Bai Falcon subconsciously looked up at the sky, looking at the figure riding the eagle, and his heart was shocked.

There was a very familiar person in the saddle.

"It's him!"

He remembered that one man killed Gaoxue City, and tens of thousands of soldiers were unable to do anything to him. If Bai Falcon hadn't taken advantage of the chaos and climbed over the wall to escape, he might have fallen into the hands of the opponent.

The woman was surprised: "It's Mr. Li Qi!"

"Is he Li Qi, the porcupine?"

Li Qi rode the Hippogriff to the ground. The soldiers galloped all night long to kill them, but he only rode the Hippogriff and flew for a while before arriving. In order to speed up, he also released some magic for the Hippogriff, allowing the Hippogriff to fly to There is smoke behind the butt.

The corpse signal detected a hall-level danger signal, and the opponent was still growing at an extremely fast rate, so he had to pay a visit.

Arrive at Three Fork River Fort.

Li Qi had already heard about what happened here, so he acted very simply.

Facing the Feixiang Valley soldiers and mercenaries who had been controlled, he only said: "All perpetrators will be punished according to the law. If the punishment is less than 10 lashes, the punishment will be made up to 10 lashes."

"No, you can't do this, we are His Majesty the King's soldiers!"

Someone objected loudly. He killed a man yesterday. If he really followed the law, he must pay with his life.

"Anyone else have any objections?"

"I do!" "Me too!" "Yes, I don't accept it!"

Bai Falcon didn't speak, just watched quietly.

Li Qi nodded: "Anyone who disobeys will be hanged."

Looking at Li Qi flying away on the eagle, Bai Falcon smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, it's him."

The man who turned the High-Blooded City upside down with the power of one man, who had the power to look upon even the gods, turned out to be one of the overlords of the continent today.

Such a bloody person would actually gain many supporters and be considered the most benevolent lord.

Just like the woman next to him covered her face and cried, praising Li Qi's name.

"A lord who truly implements justice may be a good lord."

Bai Falcon felt that Li Qi was much better than Little George. If Goethe defected to Li Qi, he might really be able to make great achievements, but he quickly shook his head.

If Goethe defected to Li Qi, he would definitely be hacked to death by Li Qi's sword.

"Wait a minute, the direction he is going is to the place where the god is projected!"
