Ark, I, the Lord of the Succubus Court

The arrow pierced through the warlock's hard skull, and the tail feathers that were almost completely embedded in his head trembled violently.

Luo Ji, wearing steam armor, holding a heavy shield in one hand and a crossbow in the other, slowly emerged from the fog.

He even had a little extra gear.

A chain sword powered by metaphysical steam.

After killing an elite guard beside the Duke of Stafford, he thought that this steam chain sword was a good item, so he just picked it up and slung it over his body, and would take it out from time to time as a weapon for close combat.

It is a similar structure to Windpipe's siege spear. It does not require Originium skills. It has its own steam core power inside, and can unleash tremendous power with just a press of a button.

Luo Ji even used it to directly chisel open the steam armor on the guards.

Having equipment and not having equipment are really two completely different things.

When a warlock knows that he needs a good staff, why did he forget to get himself a useful secondary weapon before going out?

Luo Ji walked to the side of the warlock whose head was pierced by an arrow, squatted down and reached out to smooth his face which looked particularly hideous due to the pain.

"And in your next life, remember to wear a helmet when you become a warlock."

He spoke to the last of the Duke of Stafford's warlock guards, and then closed his wide-open eyes.

ended.

He took care of all the guards by himself, and the only one left, the Duke of Stafford, who was wearing the best steam armor and holding the best steam weapons, could no longer pose any threat.

The Duke of Stafford himself was not a warlock with outstanding Originium skills, and now that he was seriously ill, he could not exert much combat power at all.

Leaving the Duke of Stafford to be dealt with last was simply because he wanted to capture him alive and bring him back to Londinium.

For such a prominent figure, it is more appropriate to follow the legal process before killing him.

That would be more in line with the image of defender of the law that Weicao has always created. Then, when they kill the petty nobles and commoners who dare to jump out, it would appear that they are more disciplined.

The rose-red mist gathered and lingered around Luo Ji, almost taking on its original liquid form.

He glanced at the time.

It was still overtime. It took him a lot of time to get rid of these personal soldiers loyal to the Duke of Stafford.

There were enough warlocks who could effectively counter his spells, and the nanochips installed on the top-notch steam armor of the guards also caused some interference to his pig beast hunting grounds.

Just like a wizard's magic scroll, the Originium skills on this land can also be stored and used through certain means.

The excellent bipolar nanochip has always been the carrier of Originium skills. Combined with other special technological items of Terra, the way of storing and reusing spells on this land is far better than that of wizard scrolls.

It can even be an industrially produced object.

Although that kind of skill still belongs to the top technological creation of this land, no matter what, this kind of magic industrial system cannot be compared with the scrolls made by hand with the old recipes handed down by one or two old wizards.

——This is indeed true for mid- and low-end spells.

Damn... In other words, the warriors on this land who wear first-line protective gear can actually open magic shields and cast spells.

Instead of just relying on the armor on your body to be strong enough.

The black technology on this land is the same as the mobile city.

Luo Ji recalled that the people who were most active in using armor to open shields were the recreational knights in the Casimir Knight Arena.

Go back, go to Casimir and order a batch of this good stuff, and equip your warlocks with it. If they can be combined with Victorian steam technology, then their Sarkaz warlocks will be awesome.

The more Luo Ji thought about it, the more he felt that this made sense. He must find time to visit Casimir.

Let’s not talk about the armor and protective gear for now. The key point is that the big whale Hanwudi will be a mercenary around Casimir and will continue to work as a mercenary until he becomes the mercenary king of that area.

If he doesn't trick Han Wu Di into being his wife, it would be a shame for him to have such a low-level, B harem system.

He was willing to be deceived in any way he could. He said that if he could be his wife and give away feather beast eggs and gold coins, and set up a small stall in front of Han Wudi, she would be deceived 100% or even 90% of the time.

No... After everything here is over, the first thing I should do is to say hello to the entire family of the Shapeshifter Lord.

097 What does Victorian mean?

The reason why Luo Ji took so long to deal with the Duke of Stafford's personal soldiers was that the auxiliary Shapeshifter was slacking off again.

Damn, this support is simply poisonous.

They thought that the fog generated by his magic potion would also affect them, and he didn't equip them with antidotes, so he didn't come to help at all. He just went to clear the miscellaneous soldiers and close the line.

The only battle that was a bit difficult was one that Luo Ji had to fight alone, so it took until now to deal with Victoria's top elite forces.

Arriving at the Duke of Stafford's room, Luo Ji wiped the remaining blood stains on his armor and tidied his attire and appearance.

After all, he is the Duke of Victoria, so he should be shown a little respect before he dies.

It is mainly for the convenience of carrying out work later.

It would be great if the Duke of Stafford would actively cooperate with their work.

Whether it is Reed's side or the subsequent takeover of the Dukedom, the resistance will be greatly reduced.

Especially in the Duke of Stafford's territory, if we just promise to protect the lives of the Duke of Stafford's entire family, and agree to let his son study in Londinium and play the role of the Jinwu Guard, and the Duke of Stafford is willing to cooperate, that would be great.

In general:

War is the continuation of politics, and politics is a dispute over interests.

If the issue of dividing the money can be handled calmly, there is no need to resort to war which will result in the death of many people.

The strategic goal had been achieved, the Duchy of Stafford was under control, and Her Majesty Queen Victoria had also demonstrated her martial virtues through a duke... Killing anyone again would be purely for venting one's anger.

When it comes to matters involving profit and wealth, it is best not to get too much emotion involved.

The moment he thought of this, Luo Ji felt a more severe headache.

Once Theresa died, there would be no problem with Victoria, but he still had to find a way to deal with the Little Cat Egg Roll, the Blood Demon Lord, and the Scavenger Lord.

These two guys have pretty good skills, but they're just too obsessed with it.

If we don't deal with them, things will be difficult.

He had always wanted to go to Iberia to cause trouble, and he also wanted to trick them and play hide-and-seek with the Deep Sea Church lurking in Iberia.

Thinking of the Blood Demon Lord and the Scavenger Lord, Luo Ji couldn't help but think of the Transformer who was currently working as a jerk on the landship.

Difficult.

In the past, I thought Manfred was a driving school instructor, the kind of driving school instructor that no student could afford to offend. Now it seems that he has taken on this menial job of driving school instructor himself.

No.

We must find an opportunity to give all these administrative, management, coordination, scheduling and other trivial tasks to Theresis or Manfred.

Otherwise, if this continues, he will not have the opportunity to lead a healthy life with his wives, do healthy aerobic exercises every day to improve their bodies.

The boss should go up and waaagh, the logistics work should be handled by the fart spirit!

Luo Ji suppressed the confused thoughts in his mind and opened the metal door in front of him.

The Duke of Stafford was neatly dressed in steam armor, and his overall attire looked more like the dress that soldiers wear when reviewing troops on the parade ground than a military uniform.

The expression on his face appeared calm. Even in this situation where he could die at any time, he remained calm.

After all, he is a person who may die at any time, so he acts as if nothing matters.

"Your Excellency the Duke of Stafford, it's over. Put down your weapons."

Luo Ji did not mention the word "surrender", but laying down weapons means giving up the last ability to resist, right?

Duke Stafford's eyes stayed on Luo Ji's face for a long time, and he chuckled, "You are not an Agor, you are a demon."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Luo Ji put one hand on his shoulder and performed a slight Victorian aristocratic etiquette towards him.

Stafford smiled disdainfully, "Would Her Majesty actually employ the demons?"

"Isn't it a tradition of the Victorian royal family to use mercenaries?"

"Yes, but before the idiot king, mercenaries only played an auxiliary role in Victoria's military operations, taking on some dangerous and not very core combat missions. Since that idiot came to power, in order to reduce our voice and the voice of the parliament, mercenaries have gradually become an indispensable part of Victoria."

The Duke of Stafford said contemptuously: "The fool we hanged destroyed the great achievements Victoria had accumulated over countless years."

Luo Ji nodded thoughtfully.

"It sounds like you killed the previous king out of necessity, or even to save the country."

"Demon, you are wrong. We did not kill him. His civilians hanged him. And they were civilians in his territory, Londinium. The procedure was tried by the Victoria Court, although the process was very simple.

Second, I do want to save the country, and the other dukes more or less want to do the same. Victoria can be ruled by tyrants and villains, but it cannot be ruled by idiots who can do nothing but raise taxes. "

The Duke of Stafford looked grimly, "This land cannot tolerate fools leading the country to commit stupid acts."

"Your actions are not intended to save Victoria."

"A stalemate on the battlefield will involve the most people. Victoria will not allow the throne to remain vacant, nor will she allow me and Duke Caister to continue the confrontation."

The Duke of Stafford said softly: "It needs a leader, a strong leader, a leader who is capable of leading it out of trouble."

"Do you think this person is you, sir?"

"No, it's someone who is capable of sitting on the throne."

The Duke of Stafford laughed and said:

"Whether it's Aslan, Draco, the Duke, the Earl... Viscount, Baron, or even a commoner. A king who is capable of sitting on that throne, standing out and ascending the throne in this moment of chaos and bloodshed in Victoria, is the king Victoria needs."

The position of the boss belongs to whoever gets it, right?

Victorians are so fucking interesting.

"Then you have already lost, sir."

Luo Ji said softly.

"Yes, the demons."

The Duke of Stafford slowly raised the chainsaw-like steam chain sword in his hand and assumed the attacking posture before the Victorian duel.

He turned on the switch, and the mechanical structure of the steam chain sword in his hand roared. While performing the duel salute, he whispered:

"No, it should be His Excellency Ezekel, the Grand Lord of the Sarkaz Court."

Seeing the Duke of Stafford ready for a duel, Luo Ji also took off his steam chain sword, posed for a duel and saluted the Duke slightly:

"You recognize me?"

098 The number of concubines in the harem is 11?

The Duke of Stafford held the steam chain sword horizontally and focused his attention on Luo Ji's every move. "I have seen your famous name on those vulgar and obscene materials."

There was no sarcasm in the tone.

But why does it still sound so strange?

Always feel something is not right.

While Luo Ji was thinking about what was wrong, Duke Stafford suddenly said, "Do you know why I recognized you as a demon in the first place?"

He didn't give Luo Ji a chance to respond. The steam armor burst into a roar, and the room was instantly shrouded in a huge steam mist.

The heavy steam armor rushed forward at high speed, and the steam spewing out of the armor looked more like a rocket thruster.

Thanks to the fact that steam technology in this land is purely metaphysical, the effect that steam turbines can produce is no less than that of gas engines.

It's not even comparable to something like a gas engine.

Victoria's steam technology is the kind that can be used to propel something as huge as a moving city.

Compared to the Survey Corps' small and exquisite steam propulsion devices that can push people into the sky, Victoria's steam equipment has transcended the scope of technology and hard work. It is more like metaphysical technology.

The steam core of Victoria's top-level steam armor bursts out steam, propelling the heavy steam armor forward at high speed, which is at the level of SF90.

That is to say, it takes about 2.5 seconds to reach a speed of kilometers per hour.

boom--

The cloud of steam burst forth sparks.

A loud noise as loud as a truck crash echoed in the room.

Along with the roar of the steam saw chain sword when it started, sparks burst out from the steam cloud and soon turned into flames.
