Lord of Rot

Chapter 427: Grab his body

Kleinor finished his breakfast in three strokes, which consisted of meat soup and cold bread.

After the number of mercenaries exceeded 4,500, he could no longer eat freshly baked bread and could only eat leftover bread.

Cold bread is no better than a stone, and it is a huge challenge to the teeth.

The soft and delicious bread made of finely ground flour that the noble man eats will never end up in their bowls. It is said that just one meal of the noble man costs 5 silver months. With this money, he would rather go to Leiweng City to enjoy himself and save more. Once you save some money, you can buy a good-looking slave girl.

He also did not choose to soak the broth with cold bread. The bread would absorb the soup and the taste would only become slightly better, but it would still be difficult to swallow. Instead, he would lose his warm broth. He was used to putting the unpalatable bits first. After eating, then sit back and enjoy the delicious food.

Hululu drank the broth in a big gulp, and the coldness from last night was removed.

At dawn, the desert wants to roast people, but when the sun disappears and the moon appears, it wants to freeze people into ice cubes in the blink of an eye.

As soon as they put down the bowl, Kleino heard a noisy sound not far away from their ears. They lowered their voices to ensure that the sound could be heard by some people in this area, but would not spread too far.

"It's impossible for 4,500 pigs to just sit and wait to die. Why do we, over 4,500 mercenaries, have to stay here honestly!"

The other party is the leader of a certain mercenary group, and he has about twenty people under his command. Like Kleino and others, they are also preparing to take advantage of the wild boar mercenary group to come to Horse City to pick up some benefits. Give your best, but you won’t come back empty-handed.

Unexpectedly, the Wild Boar Mercenary Group was destroyed so quickly.

One by one, the extraordinary mercenaries who were famous in the desert area and had become legends in the nearby area surrendered immediately and became the police officers to manage themselves and others.

I have been trapped here for too long, and the other party has been trying to incite some people to make some noise.

"Forty-five hundred pigs will know better about being obedient when faced with this kind of situation. Why do they always think pigs are stupider than humans?" Kleino couldn't figure it out.

The pig at least knows that if he can't fight, he will be appointed, and he will never try to provoke the butcher who can kill him at will.

Or do they think that as long as more than 4,500 people disperse in a swarm, Baron Porcupine will be in a hurry and not know who to chase?

The most likely thing is not to chase anyone, just sit back and watch them die, and save food for yourself.

Horse City is several days' journey from the nearest towns and villages, and by horseback.

Let a group of idiots who don't have any supplies, are unarmed, are constantly fighting among themselves, and even have enemies inside to escape together? The most likely scenario is that they all died in the desert.

Kleinor's enemy is also here, the bearded but bald Will, some people also call him "Tall Short" Will.

There are many folk sayings spread in everyone's hometown, such as touching the head of a snake when you see it, spitting when you step on a grave bag, poultry food is not allowed on the festival table otherwise good luck will fly away, etc.

In Will's hometown, there is a saying that "big feet make you tall." Will's feet have been bigger than those of his peers since he was a child, but his height is a head shorter than ordinary people, only a little over four feet.

Hence the nickname 'Tall Shorty'.

The enmity between Kleinor and the other party can be summarized in a very simple sentence: the spoils are unevenly divided.

Being a mercenary, doing business with your head in your belt is all about money, so uneven sharing of the spoils is a matter of life and death.

Just as he thought of Will, he saw the short man looking this way, and Kleino stared back in displeasure.

"What are you looking at!"

"Look what's wrong with you!"

"Do you want to fight?"

Similar disputes are happening all the time, but extraordinary beings intervene, and those who deliberately cause trouble are said to be severely punished, so the disputes only stay in the bickering stage for the time being.

Those who cherish life, fear death and are greedy are mercenaries.

Others happily stepped out of the way and prepared to watch the show.

"Wow—"

A loud eagle whistle suddenly came from the sky, Kleino fell silent, and Will, who was scolding him, also shut his mouth.

They all knew what the sound represented. They looked up to the sky, and sure enough they saw a winged Pegasus, a magical creature called a Hippogriff.

Then I heard the shout of "Princess Sophia", but unfortunately her voice was too soft and the shout could not reach everyone's ears.

Through word of mouth, Knox still understood.

A great battle for the survival of mankind awaits them, and everyone must go all out.

The mercenaries sneered at this. What does the survival of mankind have to do with themselves? Even if there is a natural disaster that annihilates the world, or an abyss demon appears, the first person to have a headache is the king, as well as the dukes and minor lords of each territory.

They could escape on their own. If Li Qi hadn't forced them to stay, they would have dispersed long ago.

At the same time, Kleino felt a little uneasy. He finally understood why he and others were forced to stay and were not allowed to leave.

They might be forced to fight in a war!

Probably no money!

Most mercenaries thought of this immediately.

Someone shouted at the top of their lungs: "What does it have to do with us!"

"I'm not a desert person, let me go!"

Others laughed loudly, saying that it was not a big deal to watch the excitement: "It's the end of the world, hahaha."

The city gate of Ma Ma City opened, and a group of fully armed cavalry rushed out, totaling more than two hundred.

The scene became quiet as soon as they appeared. No one wanted to go head-to-head with a group of Iron Cavalry. Even if they had an absolute numerical advantage, no one wanted to fight with them without a clear head.

What followed was an extraordinary being, mixed with an aura that could not be ignored.

The soldiers in the entire Horse City were assigned war horses and wore patchwork armor to transform into cavalry. A large number of them were assigned muskets. After a simple test firing, they quickly mastered the basic usage of muskets. In such a huge battlefield, In front of a large number of people, there is no need to aim when shooting.

These more than 200 people are the main force.

The number of extraordinary beings is not large. What Li Qi's corpses plus the extraordinary beings under his command, plus the prisoners and Horse City put together, is still nearly 10 times the number compared to the two hundred orcs in the orc army. , then we can only hope that the magic artillery can work, replace the extraordinary with artillery, and deal more damage.

Li Qi, who was riding a Hippogriff rocket, landed on the wall and turned to look at the people left on the wall.

The person who controls the artillery on the city wall is scholar Tonks. She was temporarily captured by Li Qi. Xiaozhi moved her emotionally and offered her money to help fire the artillery to kill the enemy. There was also a small team left behind to reload the artillery. .

However, artillery and city walls are the last line of defense, and Li Qi hopes it is best not to use them.

When he discovered the orc army, he only had two days left, so Li Qi was unable to dig trenches or build fortifications during these two days. There was no time, the geographical environment did not allow it, and the opponent had two hundred extraordinary soldiers. Well, this little obstacle is not a problem at all.

The only thing he did was to select a corpse, and he used the dead horse as a living horse doctor, and fused the corpse with the flower to refine a palace-level ghoul.

There is also a huge challenge here.

That flower will bring the corpse back to life. Rather than successfully creating an obedient ghoul, it is likely that the flower will create its own corpse puppet first, once again becoming a state that even Li Qi could not resist.

But no matter what state it becomes, it will definitely bring unforgettable memories to the Orc Legion.

It takes more time to refine than Li Qi's, but the palace-level one produced by that flower can directly transform the corpse on the spot.

The refining of corpses continues.

Li Qi, who has already drank the lucky potion, is not sure whether he can succeed. Good luck will only tilt towards him, but it cannot help him accomplish what he cannot do.

Weapons have been issued.

The mercenaries who took up their weapons again became restless and wanted to escape. Li Qi only had more than 300 soldiers under his command and could not stop them at all.

Li Qi didn't pay attention to the state of the mercenaries. He looked up at the sky and saw vultures flying high, and his vision shifted upwards.

Since the last time he was attacked by the other party, he has become very cautious, but he cannot avoid being impacted by the other party's mental power, causing a large number of corpse vultures to be destroyed and completely disconnected.

The sand on the ground shook.

A dark patch appeared in the distance.

Everyone present looked into the distance. At the end of the horizon, an army was coming here.

The crowd was still rioting. Even if the enemy had appeared in front, no one wanted to fight for Baron Porcupine.

After the first group of orcs with a total of more than a thousand appeared, they did not attack, but stopped about five miles away.

"They seem to be building something!" Lisu Mama was riding a war horse and wearing a set of exquisite plate armor. She looked at Li Qi who flew beside her with a serious expression.

Li Qi nodded: "He wants to occupy the high point of sight."

The other party was different from Li Qi. There were no dead vultures flying overhead, and the field of view was very small.

Building a tower immediately can occupy the field of vision and even issue attack orders.

If the commander waits until all the troops are gathered and stands on the high tower, he can command the left and right and advance and retreat calmly. On the other hand, Li Qi's side is in chaos, and the only way is to be massacred.

Moreover, Li Qi knew the enemy's general attack idea. The first group of thousands of people took up positions and built towers. Another group of thousands of people circled to the west and surrounded the blind area of ​​the sand peak in Mama City, and the last two thousand The orcs were at the end, only half a day's journey apart, for the final word of the war.

The other party must have been in contact with Prince George, otherwise it would be impossible to have detailed information.

Li Qi doesn't need to care about the opponent's offensive strategy at all. We kill first and snatch his orc corpses. Every time we kill one and snatch it back, we will have the power of an extraordinary orc, and the opponent will be weaker.

He took the lead and flew over the heads of the mercenaries.

More than two hundred cavalry teams and extraordinary teams followed closely behind.

"attack!"
