Lord of Rot

The seemingly peaceful empire finally became lively with a large-scale bandit suppression order.

Located on the edge of the East Gorge, the small town of Dela is gradually getting rich thanks to a stone mine, but life is not as prosperous as written records say.

Carrot was sitting on his horse with a sword in his hand, looking at the yellow wilderness.

The grass roots dug out from the soil after the grain harvest are burned on the spot and turned into ashes that are blended into the soil to nourish the land for farming in the coming year.

As Li Qi's retinue, Luo Bao had already been canonized as a knight, and he quickly passed through three consecutive status transitions from slave to aristocratic master at a speed that ordinary people would envy.

He turned his eyes to the left and looked at the inconspicuous town of Dela, a small town on the edge of the wilderness. The earthen walls were only two or three people high, and the thorn fence inserted vertically outside the wall was the only line of protection.

Although Li Qi didn't say anything, he directly named Luo Bao to come to Dela Town. Luo Bao also knew that his task was very heavy.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to send a team composed entirely of extraordinary beings under his command.

"Advanced town."

The mission that Luo Bao received was to suppress bandits. He had to make a lot of preliminary preparations, and he also needed to rest in the small town of Dera.

The political officer of the town is also a descendant of Baron Della. He is a mustachioed man who speaks with a hint of a southern accent. He has the most popular long wavy hair, but the most eye-catching thing is the pointed-toe deerskin boots on his feet. .

The shop opened by Luo Bao and his sister is getting bigger and bigger, and many people are willing to sell Luo Bao for Li Qihu. For the sake of face, the supply of goods is not a problem at all.

Those were deerskin boots worn by great nobles. A pair of boots could be sold for as much as 10 gold days. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were made directly from gold.

Even the top nobles will only choose to wear a similar pair on important occasions. They will treasure it and send special servants to take care of it.

After arriving at the arranged place, Luobo did not let the team disband. Except for him, everyone here was extraordinary, so it was impossible for them to be physically exhausted.

He could also feel that this town was not welcoming to him and others. After all, it was Li Qi who "foolishly" chose to fight, causing their lord to die by the sword.

Carrot didn't intend to ask anything useful from the locals, so he directly sent people to search.

This is a determined and iron-blooded bandit suppression operation, and there is no room for any sloppiness.

Luo Bao, who had been following Li Qi, knew very well that he did not have the talent to become a lord, but he knew how to obey orders and how to carry out Li Qi's orders well. So there were two knights in the knight's retinue back then. Little Joel left, but he stayed.

The team did not rest or stop, and went directly to search for traces of the bandits.

The mountain stream is intertwined with bare tree trunks hanging slantingly.

"Sir, there are fishing nets here! There are traces of human life!"

Hearing the sound, Carrot hurried over.

It was only five steps wide, and the deepest part of the stream only reached the bend of the knee. There were several simple nets strung across it.

The mesh is half the size of a palm.

Although the water was shallow, many fish were caught.

"Keep searching forward!" Carrot raised his head and said.

Extinguished campfires, fallen tree trunks for resting, and pits left by temporary campsites.

In the end, no one was found, only some clothes and daily necessities that could not be taken away in the future.

"Can you find it?" Luo Bo looked at a skinny extraordinary person behind him.

The other party has a sense of smell comparable to that of a hunting dog's nose.

The extraordinary man came closer and sniffed, then nodded: "Okay!"

"try to find!"

The Extraordinary One circled around until it got dark before leading the team back to the small town of Dela.

"Sir!" The man with a mustache held a torch and looked at Carrot with a squinting smile: "Is everything going well?"

"very smooth!"

"This way!" The man with the extraordinary sense of smell sniffed and ran forward, just as a farmer carrying a hoe had just returned from work.

When he saw the extraordinary being rushing toward him like a vicious dog, he screamed in fear.

"Sir, what are you doing?" The man with the mustache said with an ugly face: "He is a farmer, a member of our Deira town, not a bandit."

But Luobo rushed forward and chopped off the opponent's head with a sword: "Keep looking!"

With that said, Carrot turned to look at the man with the mustache: "There are bandits harboring in Deira Town. Think about how to explain it first to save your head."

"You better stop! My sister is the Duke's personal maid!"

"What a coincidence!" Carrot grinned: "I am the emperor's first attendant! I will report this matter to the superiors, and the Duke will also give an explanation to His Majesty."

The mustachioed man swallowed.

The bloody collection activity was carried out with people crying and shouting.

At the beginning, some people shouted their wishes, but as heads were chopped off one by one, some people began to admit their mistakes. Then they found that admitting their mistakes seemed to save their lives, so they rushed to tell their crimes.

The anti-bandit activities went more smoothly than expected.

Carrot's bandit suppression operation did not end there. He set off for the territory of the young nobleman Xier. After searching, he finally found an excuse to set foot on the other party's territory.

Ten days of searching, half a day of fighting, and half a day of cleaning the battlefield.

The nobleman Siel actually wanted to overthrow Li Qi's rule because his great-grandmother was related to the Golden Bear family.

It ended with a spear inserted into Sil's head and sent to the wall of the royal city to be exposed to the sun.

In the royal city.

Li Qi sat on the throne with his horse and golden sword, and a group of old nobles gathered below, the number was no less than when Li Qi ascended the throne.

They hoped that Li Qi would withdraw his order to suppress the bandits.

The benefits of suppressing bandits were too little, and with Li Qi's ghoul followers monitoring them, the new nobles often could not make much achievements.

But as the Carrot Bandits "discovered" the hidden problems of the town's nobles, they successfully tried the other party after collecting enough information, and even wiped out the treasonous nobles. After receiving the reward, other new nobles also understood.

The purpose of suppressing bandits is to investigate in the open. If you can stumble one by one, you can climb up by making achievements.

In the main hall, the old nobles were very quiet. The two giant dragons guarding the door and taking a nap were the main reason for their good behavior. They were afraid that their breathing louder would wake up the two legendary creatures at the door.

"I know what you mean."

Li Qi didn't care about these old nobles at all. He became emperor not by means or balance, but by pure strength.

Ghouls who are absolutely loyal to themselves, as well as a large number of troops and weapons.

If he can sweep across Lulea Continent for the first time, he can sweep it for the second time, and for the third time.

On the contrary, these old nobles, toothless toads, can do nothing but make disgusting jumps.

"I hope you can help the bandit suppressing army and solve the problem quickly."

"Yes!" The old nobles nodded.

"By the way," Li Qi said, "There is also parliament. I heard Stacy say, do you think the reason why there are bandits and rebellions everywhere is because there is no parliament to make decisions?"

A noble immediately nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, the parliament you promoted in the East Gorge can collect the opinions of every noble and solve problems in a real sense. We believe that the empire needs the existence of the parliament very much."
