Lord Saren: I have a proficiency panel

Chapter 29 Countermeasures
  The four men were soon summoned and lined up in front of Lodi. As the first captain, Caton stands slightly further forward than the other three people.

Due to the emergency, Lodi did not exchange greetings and immediately ordered the four of them: "The snake tide is coming. The situation is urgent. The four of you immediately lead the knights under your command to dig trenches and build defensive positions to the east of Lan Yuexue Village. Be sure to Control the snake tide’s activity outside the defensive positions.”

"Yes, sir!" The four people immediately bowed and said.

The Cavaliers, led by the four of them, are training around the clock every day. They have trained more time this month than in the past few years.

In the arduous and boring training day after day, the knights are all holding their breath and want to burst out the strength they have accumulated for many days.

However, when they went to the west of the territory and saw with their own eyes the tide of snakes that had completely engulfed Lan Yuexue Village, most of their original anger dissipated.

These snakes were so densely packed that there seemed to be tens of thousands of them. They were of different lengths and thicknesses, their bodies were intertwined together, and they moved very quickly, which made people feel numb just by looking at them.

At present, people from the civil affairs department led by Little Flynn first gathered the villagers from several villages in the west and moved eastward. Then Caton commanded the establishment of trenches and defensive positions, and Geer led the people from the recruit training camp to dig trenches.

Because the snake group was too large, they did not dare to make direct contact. They only used bows, arrows, spears and torches to limit the control range of the Blizzard Snakes to the surrounding Blue Moon Snow Village.

As a result, this area became a paradise for blizzard snakes, and the territorial troops hid outside the trenches and confronted the snakes.

The village chief of Lan Yuexue Village was also rescued by Little Flynn and his men. He was an old man with white hair and beard who looked to be in his seventies. In this era, it was not easy for civilians to survive to their seventies. Therefore, he was highly respected in the territory and deeply respected and loved by the villagers.

He walked into the fortress tremblingly, walked into the council hall under the guidance of the soldiers, and came to Lodi.

"Dear Lord!" The old man looked solemnly, with deep fear in his eyes, and said: "This time the blizzard snake is coming so fiercely, it must be the indiscriminate killing of blizzard snakes in our Talon territory, which offended the gods of the wilderness. Such a disaster!"

When Luo Di heard this, his face darkened and he asked: "You mean, this disaster was caused because I killed several blizzard snakes?"

"Yes!" The old man nodded and said with firm eyes: "The Blizzard Snake is the descendant of the beast tide and the messenger of the God of the Wilderness! It must never be killed! Now our Talon territory is in danger of being annihilated. If we can't If we take action early, we might all be wiped out by these snake tides!"

Little Flynn stood nearby, and when he heard the old man blaming Lodi for the fault, he became very angry and asked loudly: "Before Lord Lodi came, the Blizzard Snake had many records of sneaking into the territory and eating people and animals. What do you mean? Yes, the Blizzard Snake is only allowed to kill us and we are not allowed to resist, right?"

The old man said tit for tat: "Snowstorm snakes eat people, it is a natural law, and it has been promised by the God of the Wilderness. How can we resist? Only by responding correctly, trying our best to make up for our mistakes, and praying for the God of the Wilderness's forgiveness can we calm down this incident. Tide of snakes.”

Little Flynn was about to refute again, but Luo Di waved his hand to stop him, and then asked the old man: "So, how should you respond?"

The old man said without hesitation: "According to the tradition of Isgaya, ten male slaves and ten female slaves need to be sacrificed to appease the anger of the God of the Wilderness. In view of the huge number of snakes this time, I think the sacrifices need to be sacrificed." Just double the quantity.”

Luo Di was originally looking forward to his response. When he heard these words, he sneered and said: "You mean, throw some people over and feed them well, and they will leave obediently, right?" ?”

"Yes! But it's not just a matter of throwing it over, but a ceremony is required." The old man saw Lodi getting angry and his body trembled, but he still said with a pinched neck.

Luo Di stood up and said with a serious expression: "That's nonsense, full of shit! A hundred years ago, when my ancestors of the Salen family faced the beast tide, no matter how difficult it was, the choice they made was to rely on the fortress and fight back. ! There has never been a tradition of sacrificing slaves to them. I don’t know where your so-called tradition comes from, but I will never use my people to feed these beasts!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and said to the attendant beside him: "The old village chief of Lan Yuexue Village spread false rumors, slandered the lord, and confuse the public with evil words. His crime is unforgivable. In consideration of his old age, he will be imprisoned in the fortress first. , wait until the snake tide is repelled before judging the crime."

The old man knew that he had offended Lodi. He looked fearful, but without saying a word, he lay down on the floor and allowed his servants to drag him down.

Although the old village chief was locked up in the fortress, what he said spread like wildfire. The people in the territory immediately started talking privately. Some people felt that the old man was highly respected, and began to think that it was indeed Lodi's indiscriminate killing of the blizzard snake that caused the revenge of the God of the Wilderness.

But there are also a large number of people who think that Mr. Lodi is not wrong, but that the old village chief is too cowardly and was frightened by the snake tide. No matter what, people only dare to discuss it in private, and Lodi still maintains absolute authority in the territory.

After a day of confrontation, the snakes refused to retreat and entered into a stalemate with the knights in the territory. They seemed to be digesting the spoils of the first invasion, and when they were done, they might launch another full-scale attack.

Luo Di went to the front line and carefully observed this group of uninvited guests.

Most of these snakes are between one and two meters in length, but there are still a considerable number of snowstorm snakes that reach the level of pythons. Although a single powerful Lodi is not afraid at all, there are too many of them.

Luo Di decided not to act rashly yet, as his Qingshuang Breathing Technique would soon break through. Once he breaks through, not only will his own strength be improved, but the weapons he can enchant will also be significantly improved.

At that time, first make a batch of bows and arrows enchanted with frost magic, give them to these knights, and then take action yourself, maybe you can repel these beasts.

Thinking of this, Lodi ordered the knights to stick to their defensive positions, and he himself returned to the training ground and began training with higher intensity.

At the same time, in the north of Talon territory, in the Black Marsh territory.

Revel Warren, Lord of Lingfeng Fortress, sat in the guest seat, and Alex Morrison, Lord of Black Marsh, sat in the main seat. The two held goblets filled with champagne and silently listened to the attendant's report on Talon's territory. .

Opposite them sat a tall middle-aged man wearing black leather armor. This middle-aged man has thin cheeks and long dark brown hair that seems to have not been washed for more than a year. It hangs down one by one, covering half of his face.

His body exuded the strong stench of beasts. A maid was held tightly in his arms, retching from time to time, but she had to maintain a flattering and meek look on her face.

After the attendant reported the situation in Talon's territory, Lord Lingfeng showed a smile on his face and breathed a sigh of relief: "The performance of these snakes is really outstanding. Mr. Petra is worthy of being a second-level animal trainer. It’s just extraordinary.”

When the man opposite called Petra heard this compliment, he bowed slightly to Lord Lingfeng and accepted all his compliments.

"That's natural." The Black Marsh Lord also said with a smile: "With Mr. Petra's ability to tame animals, controlling these snake tides is just a small test."

Lord Lingfeng laughed and said, "It's just that this battle is a bit too big. What if that kid Lodi Salen doesn't know how to be funny and runs away?"

"That shouldn't be the case." The Black Marsh Lord shook his head and said with a cold expression: "This kid killed Julius as soon as he came over. It can be seen that he is also a ruthless person. Even if he is afraid, he will not run away. This guy, They even tried to expand westward and annex the foothill grassland, and they simply didn’t take our neighbors into consideration.”

"I didn't expect that Baron Saren would send such a ruthless character here even though he has too much to take care of himself in the pass."

"Yeah. Poor guy Julius. Last year he claimed that he would break through the Wild Bear Breathing Technique and officially become Lord Talon. But he didn't expect to be completely defeated by a young boy."

Lord Lingfeng said with great emotion: "But this plan can be regarded as our revenge for Julius. It's a pity that our move was originally aimed at Julius, but we didn't expect to use it on this kid. .”

"Well, Julius is also pitiful." Lord Blackmarsh nodded and said: "When the snake tide kills Nasaren, we will enter Talon's territory in the name of clearing out the snake tide and divide it up. Yurius Let’s take care of Si’s remaining family members as much as we can.”

Although the two people were expressing their regrets for Julius, their eyes were full of greed and excitement.

The animal trainer Petra listened to the two people talking silently, a look of disdain and contempt flashed in her eyes, and she said calmly: "When the snake tide attacks, the two adults can give orders at any time."

"Don't worry, let's play with them first." The Black Marsh Lord smiled and waved his hands: "Slowly consume their power, and when they are exhausted, we will kill them all."
