Lord of Rot

Chapter 427 Robbing His Corpse

Kleinor ate his own breakfast, meat stick soup with cold bread.

After the number of mercenaries exceeded [-], he could no longer eat freshly baked bread, and could only eat leftover bread.

Cold bread is no better than a rock and is a great challenge to the teeth.

The fluffy and delicious bread made of finely ground flour that the noble lord ate would never come to their bowls. It is said that the noble lord would spend 5 silver moons just for one meal. Once you save money, you can buy a good-looking female slave.

He also didn't choose to soak the broth with cold bread, the bread would soak up the soup, the taste would only be slightly better, but it was still hard to swallow, and he would lose his warm broth instead, he used to put the bad first After eating, then enjoy the delicious food quietly.

Hululu gulped down the broth, and the chill from last night was dispelled.

When the desert is at dawn, it is eager to roast people, but when the sun disappears and the moon appears, it is eager to freeze people into ice cubes in the blink of an eye.

As soon as he put down the bowl, Kleinor heard a noisy sound not far from his ears. They lowered their voices to ensure that the sound could be heard by some people in this area, but it would not spread too far.

"It's impossible for 500 pigs to sit still and die. We have more than [-] mercenaries, why should we stay here honestly!"

The other party is the head of a certain mercenary group, and there are about 20 people under his command. Like Kleinor and others, they are going to take advantage of the east wind of the wild boar mercenary group to come to Mama City to pick up some benefits. , but will not return empty-handed.

Unexpectedly, the wild boar mercenary group was destroyed so quickly.

One by one, the extraordinary mercenaries who were well-known in the desert area and had become legends in the vicinity surrendered immediately and became the sheriffs who managed themselves and others.

Trapped here for too long, the other party has been trying to incite some people to make some noise.

"The [-] pigs will know better to be obedient when they encounter this situation. Why do they always think that pigs are dumber than humans?" Kleinor couldn't figure it out.

Pigs at least know that if they can't fight, they will be appointed, and they will never try to provoke a butcher who can slaughter themselves at will.

Or do they think that as long as more than 500 people swarm away, Baron Porcupine will be in a hurry and don't know who to chase?

The biggest possibility is not to chase anyone, just sit and watch them die, saving food for themselves.

Horse Horse City is days away from the nearest towns and villages, again on horseback.

Let a group of idiots who have no supplies, are unarmed, keep fighting among themselves, and even have enemies inside?Most likely they all died in the desert.

Kleinor's enemy is also here, Will with a big beard but a bald forehead, and some people call him "Tall Shorty" Will.

There are many folk sayings in everyone's hometown, such as touching your head when you see a snake, spitting when you step on a grave, and no poultry food is allowed on the festival table, or good luck will fly away with it, etc.

In Will's hometown, there is a saying that "big feet make you taller". Since childhood, Will's feet were bigger than his peers, but his height was a head shorter than ordinary people, only a little over four feet.

So there is the nickname of 'tall dwarf'.

The enmity between Kleinor and the other party can be summed up in a very simple sentence, which is the uneven distribution of spoils.

As a mercenary, don't do business with your head on your belt, it's all about money, so the uneven distribution of spoils is a life and death enmity.

As soon as he thought of Will, he saw the short man looking towards him, and Kleinor stared back in displeasure.

"What are you looking at!"

"Look what's wrong with you!"

"Do you want to fight!"

Similar disputes are happening all the time, but there are superhumans intervening, and those who intentionally make trouble are said to have been severely punished, so the dispute will only stay at the bickering stage for the time being.

Those who cherish life, are afraid of death and are greedy are mercenaries.

The others cheerfully moved out of the way, ready to watch the play.

"Wow—"

A loud eagle howl suddenly came from the sky, Kleinor fell silent, and Will, who was scolding him, also shut his mouth.

They all knew what the sound represented. They looked up to the sky, and as expected, they saw a winged Pegasus, which was a magical creature called a galloping eagle.

Then I heard a cry called "Princess Sophia", but unfortunately her voice was too small to reach everyone's ears.

Through word of mouth, Kronos still understood.

A great battle for the survival of mankind is waiting for them, and all must go all out.

The mercenaries scoffed at this, what does the survival of human beings have to do with themselves?Even if there is a natural disaster to destroy the world, or the abyss demon appears, the first headache is the king, as well as the dukes and small lords of the territories.

They could escape by themselves, if Li Qi hadn't forcibly kept them, they would have already dispersed.

At the same time, Kleinor felt a little uneasy. He finally understood why he and the others were forced to stay and were not allowed to leave.

They might be forced into a war!
Most likely there is no money!

Most of the mercenaries thought of this immediately.

Someone shouted at the top of their voices: "What does it have to do with us!"

"I'm not from the desert, let me go!"

Some people laughed, watching the excitement is no big deal: "It's the end of the world, hahaha."

The gate of Mama City was opened, and a group of heavily armed cavalry rushed out, totaling more than 200.

As soon as they came out, the scene was quieted down. No one wanted to fight head-to-head with a steel cavalry. Even if they had an absolute numerical advantage, no one wanted to fight them unconsciously.

Then came the Transcendent, mixed with an aura that no one could ignore.

The soldiers in the entire Mama City were assigned war horses, dressed in cobbled together armor and turned into cavalry, and most of them were assigned muskets. After a simple trial shooting, they quickly mastered the most basic usage of muskets. In front of the number of people, there is no need to aim at all when shooting.

These more than 200 people are the main force.

The number of superhumans is not much, Li Qi's ghouls plus the superhumans under his command, together with the captives and Mama City, compared with the 10 of the half-orc army, there is still a gap of nearly [-] times. At that time, we can only hope that the magic artillery can play a role, and replace the extraordinary with artillery to deal more damage.

Li Qi, who was riding the Eagle Rocket, landed on the top of the wall, and turned to look at the people left on the top of the wall.

Scholar Tonks was manipulating the cannons on the city wall. She was temporarily arrested by Li Qi, and Xiaozhi agreed to help fire the cannons to kill the enemy with money. In addition, there was a small team left behind to reload the cannons with ammunition. .

However, as the last line of defense, artillery and city walls, Li Qi hoped that it would be best not to use them.

When he discovered the half-orc army, he had only two days left, so Li Qi was unable to dig trenches or build fortifications during these two days. The time was too late, the geographical environment did not allow it, and the other party had two hundred extraordinary troops. Otherwise, this small obstacle is not a problem at all.

The only thing he did was to choose a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and fuse the corpse with that flower to refine a palace-level ghoul.

There is also a huge challenge here.

That flower would bring the dead body back to life. Compared with successfully creating an obedient ghoul, it was very likely that the flower would create its own corpse puppet first, and become the state that Li Qi could not resist back then.

But no matter what state it becomes, it will definitely bring unforgettable memories to the half-orc army.

Compared with Li Qi, it takes more time to refine, but the palace level produced by that flower can directly transform the corpse on the spot.

Ghoul refining continues.

Li Qi, who has already drank the lucky potion, is not sure whether he can succeed. Good luck will only tilt towards him, but it can't help him accomplish what he can't do.

The weapons have been sent down.

The mercenaries who took up their weapons again became restless and wanted to escape. Li Qi only had more than 300 soldiers under his command, and they couldn't stop them at all.

Li Qi didn't care about the state of the mercenaries. He looked up at the sky, and the vultures spread their wings high, and his vision shifted up.

Since being attacked by the opponent last time, he has become very careful, but he cannot avoid being attacked by the opponent's mental power, causing a large number of dead vultures to be destroyed and completely disconnected.

The sand on the ground was shaking.

A black mass appeared in the distance.

Everyone present looked into the distance, at the end of the horizon, an army was coming here.

The crowd was still rioting, even though the enemy had already appeared in front, no one wanted to fight for Baron Porcupine.

After the first group of orcs with a total of more than a thousand appeared, they did not attack, but stopped about five miles away.

"They seem to be building something!" Lisu Mama was riding a war horse and wearing a set of exquisite plate armor. She looked at Li Qi who flew to her side with a serious expression.

Li Qi nodded: "He wants to occupy the high point of sight."

The opponent was different from Li Qi, there were no dead vultures flying overhead, and his vision was very small.

Building high towers at the first time can occupy the field of vision, and even issue offensive orders.

If all the troops were assembled and the commander stood on the high tower, he would be able to command the left and right and advance and retreat calmly. On the other hand, Li Qi's side was in a mess, and the only way out was to be slaughtered.

Moreover, Li Qi knew the enemy's general attack idea. The first group of a thousand people occupied the position and built a tower, and another group of a thousand people went around to the west and surrounded it from the blind spot of the sand peak in Mama City. The last two thousand people The half-orc team was at the end, only half a day's journey away, and it was used to finalize the battle.

The other party must have contacted Prince George, otherwise it would be impossible to have detailed information.

Li Qi didn't need to care about the opponent's attack strategy at all. We killed first and snatched his orc corpses. Every time we killed one and snatched it back, our side would gain the power of an extraordinary half-orc, and the opponent would be weaker.

He took the lead and flew over the heads of the mercenaries.

More than 200 cavalry troops and extraordinary troops followed closely behind.

"attack!"
