Lord of Rot

Chapter 614: Another enemy from the sea

A spring rain quickly drove the dark clouds to the east. A peasant woman with a headscarf on her head, carrying a basket, took advantage of the dim light of dawn and stepped into the soft mud field.

A man carrying a wooden stick rolled up his sleeves and used the wooden stick to dig a hole. The naked child behind him carefully put the seeds into the hole.

Clang, clang, clang, a sound of horse hooves and wheels.

A beautiful flag flutters in the wind.

The team, all covered in iron armor and even their horses were covered in noble armor, approached the field.

The horse stopped at the edge of the field, and the leading man lifted his helmet: "Is there any water?"

"Yes, sir!" The farmer knelt on the ground and brought a pot of water up.

"How far is it from Winter City?"

"You just keep walking along this road and you'll be there in two days."

"Okay." The man took two sips of water, then passed it back, and asked: "Drink less, and get to Winter City this afternoon!"

"Yes!" the soldiers at the rear responded.

The farmer said it would take two days. They were riding the top horses in the Lurea continent, and their speed was certainly different from the farmer who didn't even have a pair of decent shoes.

After everyone finished filling the water, the soldier put down the visor on his helmet, took off his gloves, took out a few copper stars from his pocket, put them into the kettle, and returned the kettle to the farmer.

"Thank you, sir, for the reward!" The farmer was overjoyed and stuffed a few bronze stars into his pocket while other farmers looked at him with envy.

With these bronze stars, their family can have more food for several days.

The horse's hooves moved away, with the longing and fearful eyes of the farmers in the fields.

Maybe in this life they will never forget the knight riding a tall horse parked at the edge of the field.

At dusk, when everyone and horses were exhausted, we finally saw Winter City.

Winter City was built between the royal capital and the northern border. It was only two months away from the nearest villages and towns. It was almost a castle that was "exiled" in this weird climate world.

The traces of the winter sun setting on the walls of this castle have not yet dissipated, and there is still a pile of yellowed and black snow in the corner of the wall where the sun cannot reach it.

The castle gates were closed.

A soldier looked down at the stopped soldiers from the city wall: "Who is coming?"

"Soldiers under the command of Lord Reacher Clarence have been ordered to bring back Sir Gathrush!"

"and many more!"

After a while, the town gate opened and a group of people came out and came to the carriage.

When I opened the car door, I saw that the disabled man lying asleep inside was none other than a gathrush!
……

"Oh!"

Prince One-Ear smashed the wine glass angrily.

"Porcupine! Good! Good! Good!"

He was so angry that his chest heaved and his breathing was ragged.

Besides him, there were three other people in the room, namely the bird with broken arms and legs, the taciturn mute crow, and the old bald-nosed heron with lowered eyebrows and eyes.

As Prince George's right-hand men, the three of them basically built his entire territory of power, and they were also his extremely trusted men.

But now, one of his subordinates had his hands and feet blown off by Li Qi, and the other party sent the person back extremely arrogantly.

In Prince George's view, Li Qi just didn't take him seriously. If Li Qi was afraid of him or was afraid of trouble, he would definitely kill the bird and destroy the corpse instead of sending someone to send the bird back. It was accurate. I dare not resist.

"Where's Zyra?" He lowered his voice, trying not to let the anger burst out of his throat.

"Zyra went to Stormwind City."

It was the Bald-nosed Heron who spoke.

Boom!Prince George slammed his fist on the table.

"Did you let her go?"

"Sir," the Bald-nosed Heron raised his eyelids and looked at Prince George. There was no fear in his old and gentle voice, and he said in a fact-telling tone: "Zyra's power has basically been restored. We can't stop her." .”

"What about the connection with Panbo Continent?"

"She said that the orc army has landed in the desert." The Bald-nosed Heron lowered his eyelids again, covering the upper part of his eyes: "In other words, in the next few days, the endless army of orcs will devour the desert, and it will take no more than a month. In a matter of seconds, half of the East Gorge and Endor will be swallowed up."

"Huh!" Prince George breathed out: "Arrange for the Porcupine soldiers to stay as long as they want, until Li Qi dies!"

The Bald-nosed Heron raised his head and said, "Sir, where are we?"

"Of course it is to protect the East Gorge and gather soldiers!" He twitched his lips: "The blood of the Golden Bear family flows in my body, how can I watch the alien invasion and remain indifferent!"

The bald-nosed heron, the mute crow, and the jaguar with broken arms and legs all smiled.

Although Li Qi's rise was somewhat beyond their expectations, it was more convenient for them now that he was at the forefront to fight against the orcs.

The only regret is probably that little George Kane is still alive, otherwise he could legitimately become the king.

……

……

desert area.

A gust of golden wind carrying the salty sea blew by, and the war horse suddenly shook its hooves uneasily and kept squealing.

The sentry who was taking a nap under the tree suddenly raised his head, turned over and grabbed the trunk, and quickly climbed to the top of the tree using his hands and feet.

He quickly unhooked the compact monocular from his waist and pointed it in the direction of the sea.

"What a big battleship!"

"It's a half-orc!"

The sentry put away the monocular, hugged the trunk of the tree with both hands, relaxed his strength slightly, and slid down.

After his feet landed on the ground, he stamped his feet and jumped onto the horse's back: "Let's go!"

When an enemy arrived from the sea, the news immediately reached the ears of the lords near the desert.

All desert people know that the enemies coming from the sea can only be orcs from another continent. Those strong, cruel and murderous monsters have no chance of living in harmony with humans.

Prepare for battle!

This is a war for everyone.

At the same time, messages are also passed upward layer by layer.

Li Qi, who was studying how to get more gold in the north, whether to directly use gold to build a body and resurrect the dozen hill-like dragons into golden dragons, also got the news.

His signal covers 70% of his territory, and the coverage rate is still improving. It is impossible for such a big event to escape his attention.

Li Qi's response was also very simple: "They are all coming, and we can't let them go! Fight!"

Not only is it necessary to fight, but no one is digging the coal mines near Steel Knife Mountain. I believe there is nothing more suitable for mining than the orcs.

"They wanted me dead, but I gave them jobs and food to eat."

Li Qi sighed, but he did not forget to ask the ghouls to keep an eye on the enemies coming from the sea. Last time there were palace-level enemies, and this time the opponents were obviously well prepared, and there would definitely be many masters.

However, no matter how many masters there are, the three-headed dragon should be able to deal with it.He looked at the white dragon lying on the ground dozing, and the two legendary zombie dragons waiting for orders dutifully.

In terms of combat, Li Qi is still relatively conservative.

"grown ups!"

Ashley, who was wrapped in a cotton coat and put on a fox fur coat, her face was still red from the cold.

It's not that the climate in Deadland is extreme. This is the northern border, but it's not like Stormwind City where the weather is extremely cold all year round and water freezes when it meets the air.

But it was because she just went to Bailong's side.

As a talent that Li Qi habitually cultivates, Ashley has a serious attitude towards learning and lives up to her reputation as a genius, learning very quickly.

The only disappointing thing is probably that she has no talent as a spellcaster, her mental power is very ordinary, and she also has no extraordinary talent. In the fifth year after the red moon passes, ordinary people may not be able to awaken because they cannot keep up with nutrition and so on. , but except for the newborns, almost all the nobles who should awaken their extraordinary power have already awakened.

But this is not a problem at all for Li Qi.

It's not too difficult to directly equip Ashley with a set of magic armor, or use magic potions to create a transcendent one.

A useful mind, excellent battlefield sense, and leadership talent are things that can only be found but not sought.

"Lord Habakak said that he knew that the Duke of Storm in the North was forming an army composed entirely of extraordinary people. The secret was in a place called Star Dragon Island." When the little girl saw that Li Qi didn't speak, she plucked up the courage to He spoke his inner thoughts: "We should take the initiative. With the strength of you and the three dragon masters, we can definitely take over Xinglong Island."

Li Qi nodded, and then asked the girl who lowered her head: "Are you curious why I haven't taken the initiative to attack?"

"Yes" Ashley nodded: "I guess you may be unwilling to take the lead in starting a war because of the honor of being a knight, and are only willing to protect the innocent as a knight. But now the Lurea continent has completely calmed down because of your appearance. , there is only the last northern border left. Only by bringing the northern border under your command and reunifying the continent can we develop faster."

She didn't ask Li Qi why, but pointed out the benefits of Li Qi taking the initiative to attack.

If you win, you will be remembered forever.

It is impossible to lose even if you lose.

Even if it is a temporary infamy, I believe that after more than ten years or decades, when people's lives become as good as those in Porcupine Territory, Iron Valley and other places, people will sincerely believe that Li Qi is their king. .

In other words, ordinary people never care who their king is. They just want to live their own lives well. Whoever can make their lives better is a good king.

Otherwise, the reason why Wodu Eighteen, who originally shouted that he wanted to return all the farmland to farmers, was able to gather a group of rabble in a very short period of time was because of interests.

"It's easy to defeat them," Li Qi said, "but after defeating them, the defeated and haters will hide. They are like ants, quietly eating away everything in the dark. Rather than letting them hide, it's better to let them hide." Stand in the light."

Li Qi pointed at the three-headed dragon: "The role of the dragon can make the enemy throw a rat weapon into a trap. They will be afraid of me, and then try to reason with me, hoping for peaceful development, but peaceful development is my weapon."

There is no need to rush to conquer Lulea Continent at this time. The underground resources in the North are indeed rich, as can be seen from the continuous mineral veins in Steel Knife Mountain. However, their utilization of resources remains on the surface, which is a great waste.

Li Qi could have dealt with it in a more peaceful way.

There is nothing in the north except underground resources.

And Li Qi didn't lack any resources.

If we really want to go to war, we have to start a war with the half-orcs from Panbo Continent who come to confront them.

Those unreasonable alien half-orc barbarians can't be killed in a short while.

In addition, there are projections of gods, from Krishna, to Night God, to Nature God, to Avadhao, etc. The gods are like bastards in a shallow pool, and there are countless gods.

The enemies are not only in front of you, but also staring at you from the sky or other planes.

Even if you take the initiative, you won't be able to finish the fight.

In the eyes of others, Li Qi was a strong man who was only one step away from unifying the continent of Leia. By defeating the Northern Territory, he could easily gain the throne of king.

In Li Qi's view, he is now being targeted by a group of hungry wolves. As for the northern border?It was just a groundhog that happened to be passing by, so I had no intention of talking to him.

Of course, there is another small reason why Li Qi is unwilling to take action, and that is the rather evil "prophecy". The millennium hero Rousseau is reborn, the thunder is extinguished for him, and the dragon surrenders. As more and more dragons under his command, he also Being in the northern border, I'm really not sure.

He has seen the projection of God several times, so he needs to pay attention to the authenticity of the prophecy.

Ashley looked at Li Qi with excited eyes: "You are a lord who really thinks about people. War will only bring harm to ordinary people."

"It's just that I can get what I can get by fighting the Northern Territory in other ways." Li Qi said indifferently: "The three-headed dragon, I will not let them go to the Northern Territory."

I'm afraid I won't be able to come back.

……

……

The waves crashed.

Several merchant ships departing from the port outside Thunder City at Giant's Foot were pushed forward by the waves.

They carried the goods around the entire southern continent, and then disembarked from the port of the desert oasis city, where a brand-new merchant city has been established. Although there is no oasis like a mythical fairyland, the city walls are towering enough to shield the wind and sand, and the city that serves as The market serves as the core hub of ocean, Endor and desert trading, making this city a true desert oasis.

After a long period of turbulence, the sailors on the ship yawned and went to the side of the ship to relax.

"Wait, that's it!"

Battleships that are completely different from the Lulea continent are floating on the distant sea. They are as small as ants.

The sailor rushed back to the cabin and woke up the captain who was resting: "Oh no, we seem to be in trouble!"

Having trouble?
The captain also got up quickly and carefully took out the monocular telescope he bought from the Porcupine Collar at a high price from the drawer.

The battleship, which looked as big as an ant when viewed with the naked eye, became extremely clear through the telescope.

"What the hell is that!"

It looks like a human, but it has fangs and its skin is rough, black and green, and some are black and yellow. All in all, it is very ugly.

The monsters on the deck were gearing up, some were roaring, some were beating their chests, and some were already fighting among themselves. The loser among them was thrown off the ship and was soon swallowed by the sea water.

"I'm afraid these aliens want to attack the Lulea continent!" The captain's heart thumped, and while continuing to move the monocular telescope for observation, he said: "Turn around and go back immediately. Also, send the raven to report the situation here to Thunder City!"

"Yes!"

A raven spreads its wings and flies away from the merchant ship.

The captain, who was observing the group of inhuman monsters with a monocular, spotted a strange ship this time.

Unlike other ships, there were almost no other inhuman monsters on the deck of this ship, only an old monster with white hair, who was wiping a strange black knife again and again.

Suddenly the old monster raised his head, looked away from the black knife, and looked in the direction of the captain.

It seems that without any help, the other person can visually determine who is looking at him.

The captain threw away the telescope with an "ah" sound and fell to the ground.

The sailor thoughtfully brought the captain a telescope.

"It must be a coincidence!"

Although he was scared, the captain still picked up the telescope and looked over. This time, the old monster stared at the telescope and pulled out his black knife.

The next moment, the old monster leaped forward.

The captain put down the monocular and looked towards the opposite side, only to see a figure quickly crossing the sea and rushing in front of him in an instant.

I don't know when the knife was cut off.

boom!
The ship was split in half.

The captain turned his head, only to see the old monster turn into black light and pull away.
