Lord of Rot

Chapter 123
It was dark.

The wind blowing in from the window was still hot.

dinner.

Li Qi specially asked to make lemon chicken. The sour and appetizing chicken soaked in soup, paired with a glass of beer, will make people sigh "ah~" in satisfaction.

"Uncle Quickblade, how is the training of the soldiers?" he asked as he put down his glass.

Quick Blade raised his hand to wipe off the oil stains on his mouth: "Those boys have trained well, as long as they see blood, they will be qualified soldiers."

"What about the armor and weapons?" he asked.

"not yet"

"I'm sorry, my lord," Joe said, "I went to Ironstone City and asked those blacksmiths, if you want to make the same chain armor as Master Quickblade, complete with helmet, shoulder pads, gauntlets, chain pants, and weapons , a set needs at least 2 gold days, and I am planning to report this to you."

"2 golden days?" Li Qi mistakenly thought he heard it wrong.

A full set of equipment for a noble cavalry is only 5 gold days. Of course, the price of war horses and expenses such as harnesses need to be calculated separately.

This also means that if Li Qi wants to equip the remaining sixty soldiers with the same armor as Quick Blade and others, it will take at least 120 gold days!

Including the maintenance in the later period, the repair of the damaged armor, hiss.

No wonder the poor porcupines couldn't see gold. Father Lild really spent too much money for his soldiers.

"Then buy ore and iron ingots, let our blacksmiths build them themselves, and equip everyone within a month as much as possible."

This time he came back from Greenwood Castle, but he also brought a lot of blacksmiths, they are not like black ears, making armor and weapons is their job.

"My lord, I'm afraid it's difficult." Quick Blade said, "I've seen blacksmiths make weapons and armor. One person can make at most half a set of armor in a month."

"Half set?"

This world has not stepped into industrialization, and everything is hammered by hand.

Quick Blade suggested: "You can make some leather armor first, light armor."

"What about the speed?" Li Qi asked.

Quick Blade thought about it and replied: "Maybe two to three pieces can be made in a month."

The speed of pure hand-made is really a headache.

In their view, the lord's wish to use those blacksmiths to produce more than 60 sets of armor in a month is simply whimsical. Unless all the blacksmiths in Ironstone City take over the job, it is possible to arm these [-] or so people within a month or two.

"Tomorrow, I will go to the blacksmith to have a chat." Li Qi raised the chopsticks: "Cheers to a better tomorrow for Porcupine Collar."

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

……

Longship Fort.

The letter from Raven was sent to her sister by Erin immediately.

In the bedroom of the Baroness in Longship Fort, Erin quietly looked at her sister.

My sister Jielin quickly read the letter, her expression changed dramatically.

"How is it?" Erin asked hurriedly.

"Ricky Clarence is willing to help us."

"Really? That's great!" Erin was overjoyed. Although Baron Porcupine was just a country baron, he decided to help, and Longship Castle could last a while longer.

There is always a solution.

But looking at her sister's expression, Erin felt something was wrong.

She asked carefully: "What did he write in the letter?"

Jielin took a deep breath: "He wants to use our mouth to declare war on the fake illegitimate son, and ask the other party to hand over the stolen slaves and 1000 gold days as compensation, otherwise his head will be cut off."

"What?" Erin thought she had heard wrong.

The entire porcupine collar only has a population of 1000. Now Wodu 1000 has tens of thousands of people. Unless his [-] people are all elite soldiers, it will not be enough for Wodu [-]. One person can drown him with a spit.

Or, Li Qi secretly raised a giant dragon.

"He wrote it like this." Jie Lin handed the letter in her hand to her younger sister Yi Lin: "I don't know what he is thinking, even if Baron Porcupine is covered in thorns, he is too..."

too exaggerated!

Erin took the letter, nodded in agreement after reading it, and then asked worriedly, "Should we do it?"

"Why not?" Jielin asked her sister.

……

Cro Camel woke up sleepily.

He doesn't like Xiayu Village very much. To be precise, he is not used to the food here. Just like the name of the village, it is all shrimp and fish.

Growing up in the desert, he is more used to eating sizzling roast lamb with bread and a glass of beer.

The taste of the grilled fish is indeed not bad, but the fishbone will always stick his tongue provocatively, and those old men at the dinner table will laugh at him when they see this.

I still remember that the fishbone stuck in his throat when he ate fish yesterday, they just laughed at it, and they drank beer and ate bread hard to swallow the fishbone.

Get up and change clothes.

Pushing open the door, it was a mess outside, and he was getting used to it.

"Good day, Sir Crowe!"

The loud voice behind him startled him, Crowe turned his head immediately and found that it was Wodu Eighteen who had a few more gold ornaments on his body, and he immediately put on his impeccable aristocratic etiquette: "Good day, Lord Wodu !"

Crowe followed Vodou Eighteen into the restaurant.

In the dining room was a long table covered with a red table rug. The long table belonged to the knight of Shrimp Fish Village, whose body is now hanging on the gallows.

There are a total of eight chairs in front of the table.

The main seat is Wodu Eighteen, and next to him is Crowe's position. Wodu Eighteen is very important to the first nobleman who declares his allegiance to him.

Then there are those brothers before Wodu eighteen.

People came one after another, and they were the core of the Voodoo Eighteen team.

The strong man who kicked Crowe before was called "Boll". He got the name himself because his mother was a prostitute. Boll thought that anyone could be his father, so why did his father Couldn't it be King Pol Kerin?Kings are known to be lustful.

Even the king, who is far away in the capital of the king, would never have imagined that he would have a son who could not be beaten by eight poles.

Some people even call him "Boll III", of course this is just a joke.

"Squeak!" Pole pulled the chair violently, and the legs of the chair rubbed against the ground making a sharp and piercing sound.

He didn't think there was any problem at all, and sat down crookedly.

Wodu Shiba's expression was ugly: "Sit upright!"

"What?" Pohl tilted his head.

"Sit upright! This is the dining table, we must talk about noble etiquette!" Wodu Eighteen emphasized.

After all, Bohr didn't have the guts to quarrel with Wodu Eighteen, muttering "there were no such stinky rules before", he straightened the chair, but this inevitably made a harsh sound.

The atmosphere at the table was a little odd.

The robbers and bandits were uncomfortable eating, only Wodu Shiba and Crowe chatted happily.

Look at what is the elegance of nobility!

These elegant etiquette will help him become the Baron of Longship Castle better.

It's just that the people under his command don't seem to be very happy, but Wodu Shiba doesn't care at all. To become a nobleman, you have to make changes, right?

After eating, Wodu Shiba and Crowe came to the meeting room. In his opinion, as a nobleman, Crowe must be able to provide him with excellent advice, while Crowe was beating his heart. I don't know how to fight.

The so-called meeting hall is actually another house in Xiayu Village. There is a very simple map here, which simply marks the location of Longship Fort, but it is difficult to find the address of Xiayu Village where they are at this time. Location.

"The next step is to fight Hebeng Village"

Wodu Eighteen's war strategy is very simple, and the number of people is crushed.

The purpose is to determine the identity of his illegitimate son through the war, and force the baroness Jielin to recognize herself and fight for the legal right of inheritance.

Or directly capture Longship Castle, and when he sits on a chair in the castle, he will be Baron Vodo!

Bang!
The door was knocked open suddenly.

Wodu Shiba raised his head, his complexion suddenly changed: "Knock before you come in!"

It was Bohr who rushed in. Although he was scolded all over his face as soon as he entered the door, he still remembered his mission and said in a dull voice: "It's urgent! We robbed dozens of slaves before, and they belonged to a baron." Property, now that baron has declared war on us, saying let us hand over the slaves and 1000 gold days as compensation, or you will have your head."

"What!" Wodu Shiba slapped the table angrily: "Hmph, I have [-] troops now! He is so brave, let him come!"

After shouting, Wodu Eighteen asked, "When did you snatch the slaves?"

"Mountains and the others probably did it. They robbed the passing caravans along the way," Boer said indifferently.

"Where's the baron?" Wodu Eighteen asked.

"Looks like a country lord called Baron Porcupine."

Wodu Shiba frowned: "I haven't heard of it."

"I know," said Crowe on the side, "I've heard of the porcupine baron. Their family crest is a porcupine, and their family motto: they are covered in thorns. Anyone who tries to provoke them will end up bleeding."

"Hahaha! It definitely doesn't include us." Wodu laughed: "Let him come if he has the guts! It's just a country baron."

Crowe was very worried. Although he could see that the Wodu Eighteenth team had many problems, he didn't understand why the baron declared war. Wouldn't it be better to wait for him to kill himself?

That's right, after these days of observation, Crowe discovered that this team is about to self-destruct, but food has become a problem.

Forty thousand soldiers sound bluffing, but forty thousand mouths waiting to eat, it is even more terrifying.

They are like locusts, because they are not their own food, they are not their own land, they crazily eat everything and search everything.

tomorrow?Who cares.

As long as you wait for a while, this team will surely dissipate.

But the farmer who delivered the letter had been away for a long time and hadn't come back yet. He didn't know what Li Qi was thinking, so he could only laugh along with him.

He only hopes that the lord he is loyal to is really rational, instead of being dazzled by anger.

However, the baron who can see his own strengths at a glance and think of letting himself infiltrate the enemy to obtain important information must be a wise man with far-sightedness.

Think of the development of porcupine collar and those buildings full of wisdom.

Crowe was immediately full of confidence, and he said to Vodo Eighteen: "We will definitely win!"
