I was a lord farming, how did I become an emperor?

……

……

Luxen stood still, immediately understanding Rod's meaning, and nodded in response.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Rhodes turned to look at the increasingly thick fog around him.
“Salia and Kyle stand in the middle, the rest of you disperse the fog around them!”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The crowd responded, and the five wizards quickly assembled.

They raised their staffs and slowly began to wave them.

The magic then gathered at the gem at the tip of the staff, creating subtle ripples.

A current of air, like an invisible wave, pushed the thick fog away, quickly creating an open space.

Salia stood in the middle, took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and carefully felt the sensations.

After a while.

"Your Majesty, Lord Luson."

Salia opened her eyes and whispered, "I feel better."

"Has the disturbance of the Holy Light stopped?" Lucien pressed.

“It’s still a little bit better than before…” Kyle nodded.

Kyle, who was standing next to him, nodded in agreement.

"That strange aura has indeed diminished considerably."

"It really is the fog that's the problem."

"Mist!"

Lu Sen suddenly realized, took a deep breath, and exclaimed, "They actually tampered with things inside the fog..."

The method that could make Salia's holy light stir and remain undetected by the wizard apprentices must be far more sophisticated.

What do we do now?

Luxen looked at Rod with concern.
“Your Majesty, Morning Mist Town is too large. Even if all our wizards cast spells together, we will not be able to dispel it all.”

"It's unrealistic to dispel all the fog."

Rod pondered.

The problem now is that Rhodes has absolutely no idea about this fog.

We don't know its toxicity or what its effects are.

We also don't know if the other side has an ambush.

After a moment of silence, Rhodes immediately gave the order.
"Kyle, you will gradually retreat with the army."

"Have the reconnaissance team keep a close eye on the area and carefully investigate whether there are any ghouls lying in ambush."

"Keep retreating until you feel there's nothing unusual about the position."

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Kyle replied respectfully.

"But we cannot simply back down and let these poisonous fumes spread."

Rod continued.

Who knows where this thick fog will drift to?

Rhodes looked at Salido,
"You come with us."

"We must search for Romissa and those necromancers."

Rhodes speculated, "These fogs always have a source, and their concentration gradually decreases as they disperse."

Just like adding dye to flowing water, the color at the source must be the highest.

“Salido, the place where you feel it most strongly should be where those necromancers are.”

"Uh-huh!"

Salido nodded seriously.

As the whistle blew, more dragons flapped their wings and landed.

The group quickly flipped over and mounted the dragon's back.

Rod turned and looked west.

The top of the western hillside in the distance is the direction from which the wind is blowing.

Rhodes patted Black Flame's neck.
"set off!"

……

……

The mountaintop is covered with dense forest.

Thirteen necromancer apprentices knelt around the edge of a huge pit.

The pit was filled with corpses, densely packed together.

The corpse was covered in a dark red liquid, resembling pus and blood.

As the necromancer apprentices chanted incantations, the liquid churned and bubbled in the pit, rising like a boiling pot.

Puffs of black steam rose from the pit and drifted into the air.

It slowly blends into the mist and then dissipates.

"Lord Romissa, it should be almost done."

Orcas reminded us, "We can proceed with the next step of the spell."

"Once those spells are detonated, those soldiers will be weakened."

"This way we can break through Rhodes' army in one fell swoop!"

"No!"

Lomisa sternly refused, "The soldiers under Rhodes' command are stronger than you imagine!"

"continue!"

"We need to catalyze more corrosive toxins!"

Romissa gave the order sharply, her eyes filled with resentment.

"No one is allowed to stop!"

"But……"

Ocas looked at his companion, who was swaying precariously beside him, and sighed.

At this point, Lomisa would not listen to any advice.

thump!
Just as Ocas was thinking this, the two necromancers collapsed to the ground uncontrollably.

Orcas quickly stepped forward and carefully examined the two men's condition.
"My lord, they are dying!"

"It's alright, continue casting the spell."

"I don't care," Romisa said nonchalantly.

The others immediately became a little nervous.

Just as I was distracted, some of the steam in the pit dissipated.

"Don't look at them!"

Romisa said without any politeness, "Continue!"

"Don't worry, even if you die, I will bring you back to life."

"To make you immortal, just like me."

The other necromancer apprentices trembled involuntarily, but dared not resist.

Because everyone knew that they were no match for Romissa.

Moreover, even after killing Lomisa, she could mysteriously resurrect.

"Huh...huh..."

Just then, a strange sound came from the distant sky.

The sound was still in the distance, but it gradually grew heavier.

Romissa felt a tightness in her chest.

"what sound?"

She frowned and looked up at the sky.

Orcas also looked up.

The fog-shrouded sky made it impossible to see anything.

Everyone held their breath and listened intently; a suffocating silence enveloped the surroundings.

The sound is getting closer.

Ocas's expression changed drastically.

"not good!"

"It's a dragon!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a dazzling flame tore through the night sky above the mist!
"Get out of the way!"

Lomis rolled to the side in a sorry state.

boom!
A torrent of flames erupted from the sky!

However, the necromancer apprentices who were casting spells had no time to react!
The dragon's breath instantly engulfed them, and the blackish-red liquid in the deep pit was instantly ignited by the flames!

boom!
Liquid sprayed everywhere, and the necromancer apprentices were instantly thrown into the air!
"what!"

"my leg!"

"My legs are gone!"

An apprentice clutched his severed leg and screamed in agony!
Lomisa scrambled to her feet, her face grim.

"Shut up, you idiot!"

“You’ll attract the dragon!” As soon as Romisa finished speaking, flames blazed up in the sky again!

It roared and gushed down!

Lomisar scrambled to dodge again, while the screaming apprentice was completely engulfed by the dragon's breath!
"Damn it!"

Romissa glared fiercely at the sky.

Lomisa herself was no longer human, and even with the thick fog obscuring her vision, she was still able to detect the figures in the sky thanks to her extraordinary senses.

Several giant dragons have already surrounded this place!

Romisa never expected that Rhodes would discover her secret plan!

Corrosive toxic fumes are a very covert method of poisoning.

The necromantic energy within is hidden very deeply, and the magical fluctuations within are completely undetectable!
In addition, the town of Morning Mist is shrouded in mist all year round, so it would never be discovered!
However, because the toxic agent is completely diluted, it requires constant stimulation to take effect.

"How on earth did this guy find out?!"

Lomisa looked at the necromancers rolling around on the ground in a sorry state and quickly raised her hand.

A red light fell on the fallen apprentices, repairing their burns at a visible speed.

This is not because Romissa was kind.

These were all mid-level apprentices, and that was all the strength he had left.

If these people die, she will have no one left to use, only foolish undead by her side.

Nevertheless, only nine apprentices survived.

The two wizard apprentices who had just fallen did not dodge and were directly hit by the dragon's breath, turning into charred remains.

Two others were unable to dodge in time and also perished.

With the giant dragon in the sky watching intently, Lomisa could no longer go over to snatch the corpse.

"cough cough"

Orcas climbed up to Lomisa and asked nervously:

"Sir, what should we do now?"

Orcas knew that Rhodes' dragons always appeared in groups of several.

No one can withstand it.

"withdraw!"

Lomisa understood this as well, and without hesitation commanded, "Everyone, scatter!"

"We don't need to fight them to the death!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than bursts of flame rained down from the sky.

The flames swept past Lomisa, causing her to tumble awkwardly across the grass once more.

At the same time, a deep red shield appeared, protecting her and Orcas.

Lomisa's mind raced, constantly searching for a way to escape.

But the dragon in the sky gave him no chance at all.

Lightning and frost fell from the sky one after another, and the shields on the two necromancer apprentices were shattered instantly because they could not dodge in time!
"what!"

A scream rang out, and the apprentice's body trembled as he died on the spot!

"Your Majesty the Emperor!"

"We can talk!"

Lomisa shouted at the sky.

The originally cold voice, aided by magic, drifted into the sky with a hint of flattery.

"We don't need this!"

"I know you value magic!"

"Therefore, there is absolutely no need for us to become enemies!"

"We can cooperate!"

"My men and I can help you rule the entire eastern continent!"

Lomisa shouted tirelessly towards the sky, "It can even help you deal with the Holy Council!"

A silence fell over the sky.

The forest fell silent once more, with only the sound of the dragon's wings flapping.

A smile appeared on Romisa's lips.

The silence indicated that Rhodes was considering the situation.

“I know we did some things that you can’t accept…”

As soon as Romisa finished speaking, a white light suddenly shone from behind the mist!

"call!"

Frosty dragon breath surged down!

"This damn bastard!"

Lomisa cursed, the light of her shield flashing, and without hesitation, she darted into the nearby bushes!
A chilling aura swept across the spot where Lomisa had just been, and all the vegetation instantly turned into ice sculptures!
"Lomisa, you can't escape."

Rhodes' voice rang out in the air, "You must die here today!"

Negotiating with a necromancer like Lomisa?
Do you believe what she said?
Rhodes would never do that.

Necromancers are complex in their thoughts and use bizarre methods.

Agnar died at her hands because he was careless and easily trusted this necromancer.

Now that Lomisa dares to appear on such a lonely mountaintop, Rhodes will not let this opportunity pass him by.

As the words fell, a rustling sound came from the jungle below the mountain.

Lomisa noticed the commotion around her and quickly looked down the mountain!

As they passed through the mist, countless figures lurked in the surrounding jungle, encircling Romisa and his companions!
It was Rhodes' army!
"Damn it!"

"Rhodes, even if you push me to the brink!"

"You can't kill me!"

Romisa's voice was filled with resentment, "When I come looking for you again, Rhodes, I will make you suffer more than death!"

"Shoot!"

Kyle's loud shout rang out, and countless arrows streaked across the sky, completely enveloping the mountaintop!
At the same time, countless pottery jars, trailing flames, rained down from the sky, completely covering the mountaintop!

They landed towards the location of Lomisa.

"Come on!"

The disheveled necromancer apprentices screamed in alarm!

But flames and arrows came from all directions, completely covering their escape routes, leaving them nowhere to hide!
Screams rang out one after another as they were either pierced through the chest by arrows or engulfed in flames!
In the blink of an eye, they all collapsed!

"Rhodes, you're asking for it!"

Romysa roared madly.
Crimson energy flew from her withered hands and poured into the deep pit in front of her!

The liquid in the deep pit was instantly stirred up, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into dozens of spears that shot into the sky!

At the same time, orange-red dragon breath flames descended from the sky once again, meeting Lomisa's blood spear!
Flames and pus collided instantly, bursting forth with blinding light!
"die!"

Lomisa gritted her teeth, her magic erupted once more, and the deep red liquid gushed out again, enveloping the dragon's breath!

Just then, a ghostly figure appeared behind Romissa!
"Lomitsa-sama!"

Ocas exclaimed in surprise!
But it was too late; the black blade flashed through the air!

puff!
Romisa's head flew off instantly!

"Hmph! You're nothing but flesh."

Vivian appeared, letting out a cold laugh.
"You should die too!"

A jet-black dagger materialized in mid-air, heading straight for Orcas's forehead!

A red light suddenly appeared on Ocas's body, and with a crisp clang, the dagger was blocked!
"Ok?"

Vivian was stunned for a moment, then reached out and grabbed at the air, and another dagger materialized!
Without hesitation, Ocas lunged down the hillside and rolled down like a ball!
But he also dodged Vivian's shadow blade!
"Want to run?"

Vivian's figure flashed, and just as she was about to give chase, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a wisp of red mist escaping from the cut on Romissa's neck!
"His Majesty!"

Vivian shouted!
Before they could react, the red mist quickly dissipated into the air.

"I told you you can't kill me!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Romisa's sinister laughter echoed through the sky, piercing everyone's ears like needles!

A tremor from the soul, the voice of the spirit directly attacks the soul!
At that moment, a skull the size of a ping-pong ball flew out and headed straight for the red mist!
The red mist that was originally flying around suddenly changed direction uncontrollably and flew towards the skull!
Whoosh!
The moment they got close to the skull, they were sucked in!
"Ah! What is this?!"

"Help! What are you doing?!"

"let me go!"

"Who is it?!"

Lomisa’s voice, filled with terror and rage, came from the skull!

Rhodes, perched on Black Flame's back, slightly raised his hand, and the spellcaster's hand grasped the skull, slowly bringing it back.

"If there were no Soul-Binding Pearl..."

Rhodes looked at the skull in his hand and smiled.

"I really can't do anything with you."

"Unfortunately, I do have it."

The skull trembled violently in Rhodes's hand.

Lomisa's shrill voice emanated from the Soul-Binding Orb.

"Let me go, Rod!"

"You despicable bastard!" (End of Chapter)
