Lord of Rot

The letter from Longship Castle came again.

Li Qi stood by the birdcage, glanced at the raven that raised its left wing, tilted its head to catch its wings, and then unfolded the letter it brought.

"Give Sir Clarence Reach your regards and due respect" begins the familiar line.

"Hebeng Village was attacked by a fake bastard, and all the soldiers were massacred. His bad behavior will definitely arouse the anger of the prisoners."

If the Four Gods really cared about equality and freedom, there would be no nobles in the world.

Li Qi complained in his heart and continued reading.

"Longship Castle has been besieged. I hope you have not forgotten the promise you made at that time. When the fake bastard is defeated, the treasure house of Longship Castle will also be opened to you."

The treasure trove of Longship Castle, which could not even be retrieved by a Bronze Star, was not attractive to Li Qi at all.

But this is probably the last sincerity the Baroness can show.

Li Qi said to himself: "I only said I would kill Wodu Shiba, but I didn't say when I would do it."

I declare war, but if you don't live long enough to fight me, it means you are not worthy of fighting me. This is called victory without a fight.

Through the observation of the corpse bird, Li Qi already knew that Hebeng Village was very close to Longship Castle. He even had a map in his hand from Porcupine Castle, to Ironstone City, and to Longship Castle, which was even more detailed than the official map!

After Wodu Shiba has occupied Hebeng Village, he can directly launch an offensive against Longship Castle.

Li Qi believed that as long as Wodu Eighteen was not a fool, he would definitely not choose to besiege Longship Castle, but attack the city as soon as possible.

Because all his men were farmers, beggars, and slaves, and they did not have sufficient food supplies. Under such circumstances, besieging Longship Castle would only trap him to death first.

If they choose to attack, Wodu Eighteen may not be able to take down the Longship Castle.

That is a longship fortress that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you want to break in, you must first find a way to cross the river.

There are no huge ships in the water stream, so we rely on ferries and fishing boats to siege? It's basically suicide.

However, with the numerical advantage and the situation being more tragic, we can still win. With piles of corpses and an overwhelming advantage in numbers, we can naturally win. We just have to see if the peasant soldiers have the courage.

The situation of the surrounded Baroness is not good. She does not have any reinforcements, and she does not know what kind of offensive Wodu Eighteen will take. Now Li Qi is the only reinforcement who has promised to help, so she can only ask Li Qi again. For the sake of glory and promise, Qi quickly sent troops.

However, Li Qi has no intention of taking action until now.

The Porcupine Territory only has 100 soldiers. For the small lord, this is a very strong team, but using 100 men to fight tens of thousands of people would mean death.

If all 100 people are extraordinary knights, you can still consider taking action.

If extraordinary people or corpses could be used, Li Qi would have taken off Wodu Shiba's head long ago, but in this war, he would rather not fight it than show too much.

Now Li Qi was not sure what was going on with Wodu Eighteen. The bird carcasses he controlled had rotted, and the hot weather had caused many flies to crawl on the carcasses, and even maggots had grown on them.

Fortunately, the dead bodies soaked in the magic antiseptic did not have this problem and did not develop maggots.

Li Qi turned around and left, and said to the servants and secretary guarding the door: "Go catch some more birds, but don't let them get hurt."

"Yes!"

That night, one by one, the dead birds flapped their wings and left the porcupine collar, flying towards the water stream.

Shrimp Fish Village, meeting hall.

Crowe stood next to Wodu Eighteen, and there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the room.

They won the battle against Hebeng Village. Now they can see the Longship Castle from a distance in Hebeng Village. This is equivalent to stepping on the fate of Baroness Jie Lin in half a step, which is a huge progress.

But the atmosphere was not very pleasant, and the men's faces were grim.

Vodou Eighteen was very happy. After the victory in this battle, as long as Longship Castle was conquered, he would definitely be Baron Vodou!

"Everyone has a reward!" He was not stingy with rewards.

Each of his subordinates received gold, silver moon, jewelry and other rewards, but his mood still failed to rise.

Because although they won, they lost completely. The other side only had a hundred people, almost all militiamen, but their side sacrificed dozens of times as many people to win the battle with great difficulty. The gap in military quality between the two sides was huge. , can be seen in this tragic battle.

They didn't really occupy Xiahebeng Village until the last person was killed.

They won very miserably, which had a great impact on the momentum of the "invincible" Vodou 18 team.

Before this, farmers firmly believed that Wodu was invincible. Why did more and more people come to join them? Because I feel that if I follow them, I can win easily. If there are too many people, I can’t win? They will follow whoever wins.

But this battle made the farmers discover that 100 militiamen could kill thousands of them. If 100 regular soldiers came, could they kill tens of thousands of them?

The farmers looked at the land in Hebeng Village stained red with blood, and some of them were frightened.

"You should be there for this battle." Bol said to Vodou 18.

If Wodu Eighteen had been present during that battle, it would have greatly boosted morale and the sacrifices would have been much less.

"We won, you guys did a great job." Vodu eighteen said to Bol: "There will be sacrifices in war. When they followed me, they should have thought that sooner or later, their sacrifices would not be It’s meaningless, I will give them the honor after becoming a baron!”

Bol's chest rose and fell rapidly, and his eyes turned red: "What you hated most before was glory."

"I am a baron." Vodu eighteen looked at Bol, staring at him, forcing him to bow his head with his eyes.

The atmosphere froze.

In the end, Bol lowered his head and chose to surrender, but judging from his heavier breathing, he had reached the limit of his endurance.

Crow, who had been watching with cold eyes, suddenly felt that there was malice in him. He found that Bol and others had looked at him with very cruel eyes. They needed to kill a noble to vent themselves. Crow was the only noble here.

It's going to be bad!

Crowe's heart was in a mess. He knew that he was really in danger. These bandits and robbers were unreasonable at all.

This can be seen from the fact that they massacred villages, raped women in every village and town they captured, and randomly tortured and killed those who resisted.

But Crowe asked himself, he didn't do anything. Vodou Eighteen became more and more like a nobleman because he was too involved in the drama. He really thought that he was the illegitimate son of Baron Vodou. He was just accompanying Vodou. Eighteen days of drinking and eating.

The crowd leaves.

"Sir Crow, please let me be quiet," said Vodu eighteen.

"Yes, sir." Crowe has achieved the ultimate in aristocratic etiquette. This is the reason why he can survive here.

As soon as he opened the door, he didn't expect that there was a young man outside the door who was about to knock on the door.

Crowe quickly scanned the other person's face and clothing, and instantly knew where the other person was from.

South of Longship Castle.

Only people there would wear this style of clothing, because there are more mountains there, so the trousers would be tucked into boots, and a wide-brimmed hat would be worn on the head to provide shade, but it is definitely not from the southern giant's feet. Dressing up, the dressing style there is closer to "tribal" and has strong ethnic characteristics.
