Lord of Rot

Chapter 122 A heart-warming letter

Li Qi first chose to open the letter from Longship Castle that was sealed with fire paint.

"Give Sir Clarence Reach your greetings and due respect. Under the crazy attack of the fake bastards, the common people of Longship Castle were miserable. They destroyed the farmland, burned the villages, and hanged all the nobles. Longship The castle is willing to repay you for 500 slaves, and is willing to let you freely recruit craftsmen from the water stream, hoping to get your help."

A straightforward letter asking for help.

Five hundred slaves? It seems that only a few dozen of them were robbed, but counting the killed, injured, and those suffering from diarrhea and other conditions, there were about a hundred slaves.

As for the craftsmen in Shuijian, they are excellent sailors. Although they don't know how to build ships, building small boats is far from a problem.

The construction of docks and the development of fisheries.

Li Qi was heartbroken.

However, there is probably only one situation that would allow Longship Castle to ask for help in such a humble manner. The team of Wodu Eighteen must have grown again.

He opened the second letter.

This is the result of investigating Betty's life experience in the headland crypt. Li Qi has always expressed doubts about Betty's true identity.

The letter is very clear.

The nobles with giant feet helped Burning City repel the East Gorge army and occupied Flame Castle. They elected Miss Betty Bonn as the sole heir of the Bonn family bloodline and became the owner of Flame Castle, and planned to use this to divide the interests of Burning City. But someone soon pointed out that the trembling Betty Bone was actually an apprentice in the Scholar Tower.

The apprentice was executed, and the giant-footed nobles are still fighting over the interests of the Burning City. Because there is no heir, everyone dare not stretch their claws too far, and the name is not justified.

"I didn't expect it to be completely opposite to what I thought."

Betty turned out to be a noble lady.

"The Flame Castle seems to be a big city in the south." Li Qi knew all the information about the big cities in the mainland. The Bonn family of the Flame Castle occupies the Burning City, a big city bordering the north and south. There is a volcano there.

Volcanoes, a huge treasure house, fertile land suitable for planting, and many minerals.

If Li Qi could take Betty back, he might be able to own a volcanic city through the Bonn family's only blood relationship, but he just thought that if he really wanted to do this, he would definitely be killed first.

"Just be patient."

Li Qi opened the third letter.

The handwriting on the letter was very sloppy, and it was obvious that Crowe had written it secretly.

"This may be the only letter I can write to you recently. I have gained the trust of Shiba, and everything is fine. The management here is in chaos. They are all bandits and robbers who do not understand etiquette, but their methods are very cruel. , I will continue to complete your mission here and provide you with information. If you have other questions, you can ask the farmer, and please give him a reward, because I promised to repay him for not killing him."

Li Qi put down the letter with a surprised look on his face: "When did I ask him to obtain intelligence information? And he really got in?!"

At first, he thought that Crowe Camel would give up and retreat, but he didn't expect that the other party would really have the courage to fight.

The development of the situation was somewhat beyond his imagination, and everything was getting better.

In the courtyard of Porcupine Castle.

The farmer grabbed his linen hat. This hat was an inheritance left to him by his grandfather. It can protect him from wind and rain. This time after getting "repayment" from Crow Camel, he only took this inheritance with him. On the road.

After running around for many days and asking questions along the way, I finally arrived at Porcupine Collar.

He had never been to Porcupine Collar before, and had never even heard of the place.

When he explained his purpose, he was taken to the castle in front of him.

The farmer had never entered the castle, and he had only taken a look at Longship Castle from a distance.

Entering the castle, my legs began to tremble unsatisfactorily.

After an excruciating wait for a long time, a young man dressed like an aristocratic gentleman came over and said, "Follow me. I have something to ask you."

"Yes Yes!"

The farmer followed the other man into the castle and couldn't help but look around curiously. He had once quietly seen Baron Vodu's room in the village, which was filled with all kinds of gold and silver treasures. However, Baron Vodu was sitting on a wooden chair and It was the same as the one in the farmer's house. The guards around it wore disproportionate armor. In short, it was not as good as Porcupine Castle in all aspects.

When he stopped, he found himself in a large room.

A handsome black-haired young man wearing a brightly colored robe looked at him. He had a letter in his hand.

It's the letter I brought.

The young man who led the way introduced: "This is the Baron of Porcupine, the owner of Porcupine Castle, the one favored by God, Lord Li Qi Clarence."

Li Qi asked: "Can you tell me how you and Crowe met?"

"Yes!"

The farmer stuck out his tongue and moistened his lips.

"Pour this gentleman a beer," Reacher said. "He must be exhausted from running all the way."

Soon the beer was brought over. The farmer held the cup and swallowed it in big gulps. After drinking more than half of the cup, his stomach was bulging.

He burped: "We caught him when we were out on patrol. The horse he was riding kicked the long nose hair to death. We originally planned to kill him, but he said that if we sacrificed him to Baron Waudou, the Baron would definitely He will reward us, and he will also remember our kindness to him by not killing him, but then he disappeared for some reason."

The farmer scratched his head. After drinking, he relaxed a lot when facing Li Qi: "But in the afternoon, he became an adult next to Baron Vodu. He found me and said that as long as I give this letter Send it and you will give me 20 silver months."

Li Qi was very curious: "Didn't you get blocked when you came out?"

"No one cares about it at all," the farmer said. "There are too many people. People come to us every day, and some people are afraid of fighting and running away."

The situation at Wodu Eighteen was worse than Li Qi imagined. It was indeed outrageous that they could still fight like this.

Then he asked the farmer about other information about Wodu Eighteen, from military, to policy, to action planning, etc., in general, there was nothing at all.

"Then how do you fight and attack?"

"Listen to the leader," the farmer replied: "Every village has a leader. The leader takes orders and then tells us what to do."

It looks like an army of tens of thousands of people, but in fact it is scattered.

Even Li Qi could imagine their ending. Tens of thousands of undisciplined people marched to fight without preparation or logistics, relying entirely on robbing.

It is estimated that the power gathered in the blink of an eye will disperse in the blink of an eye.

After asking a few more questions, Li Qi confirmed what he was thinking.

Wodu Shiba was probably a robber and bandit. He was nepotistic and was followed by very murderous robbers and bandits. He had no advisers and would kill wherever he went.

Once the offensive is completed, it will snowball around the farmers and form a sea of ​​terrifying people. However, among the tens of thousands of rebels, few can fight.

Only the isolated Baroness of Longship Castle would find it difficult to face this situation. If it were replaced by Li Qi or other castles with heirs, this situation would never happen.

Seeing that the handsome lord didn't speak, the farmer finally couldn't help but remind him in a low voice: "Sir, that Silver Moon..."

"Don't worry, you have already agreed, and the money that belongs to you will not be less." Li Qi asked: "Do you still want to earn another 20 silver months?"

"Yes! I think so!" The farmer looked at Li Qi expectantly.

"Send a letter to Crowe for me."

The farmer beat his chest vigorously and promised: "I will definitely deliver your letter!"

"Carrot, take him to get 40 silver moons."

"Yes, sir." The young retinue nodded.

Li Qi got up and returned to the study. He picked up a pen and wrote quickly.

One letter was written and given to the farmer, who then quietly sent it to Crowe. The other letter was flown to Longship Castle via raven, where Reacher would clearly state his attitude.

He really doesn't know much about fighting, and military affairs are still at the level of talking on paper, but he can see far, which means he can see far, and he is naturally invincible.

"Go and catch dozens of birds, any kind of bird!" Li Qi ordered.

The raven with the magic of "Eagle Eye" spreads its wings and leaves from the porcupine collar.

Ravens with magical blood can always deliver letters accurately, which is very magical.

After the raven, a dozen carefully selected dead birds spread their wings and followed the raven, flying towards the water stream.
