Lord of Rot

Chapter 506 The New Earl of Monkey Island (page 12)

"coming!"

The Silverfish family's ship disappeared directly on the sea. Watching the Porcupine's ship approach, Marr breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they did not fire infinite cannons. If they were closer, their side might not be able to land on the island and fight. They will lose, after all, they have cultivated many extraordinary beings through griffin grass.

Not only the Tuna family, but other families also have similar extraordinary beings.

The earldom is much better than the barony in terms of foundation. It can even be said that this small island is a small country on the sea.

Mal drew out his sword: "Archers prepare..."

boom!

A huge burning steel fireball pierced the sky and directly smashed the watchtower. The rocks flying all over the sky caught everyone by surprise.

The falling rocks flew towards him, and Mal's cheek was cut in a hurry. Feeling the coldness on his cheek, his heart sank to the bottom. The other party clearly expressed his attitude, surrender.

If you want to resist, then really use artillery to plow the ground.

The artillery weapons that I had high hopes for had a range less than half that of the Porcupine, and they were completely inaccurate.

Looking at the porcupine again, it can actually achieve precise strikes. No one would think that the precise shot that hit the archer just now was an accident.

What else can I do?

In another place, Li Qi, who was looking at the sand table, felt helpless.

There are many stubborn knights in the world. They are very loyal and will not give in easily just because the enemy is strong. If this kind of knight is his subordinate, Li Qi will like it very much, but if it is an enemy, he will not like it at all. .

Artillery costs money. If you can, fire less artillery. Especially from the sand table, the people on Monkey Island spread out their teams quite a bit to avoid being bombarded by concentrated fire.

It's not worth it to kill only a dozen people with one shot.

There are at least three to five thousand soldiers on the island, as well as trembling serfs carrying sickles and pitchforks to make up the numbers. 100 of them are not worth the price of one cannon.

Of course, replacing the alchemy bomb can achieve a wider range of attack, but the cost will increase dramatically.

The other party also guessed this, so he used this method to deal with it.

When they forcefully landed on the island, the difference in the number of people was too big. The other party was not in short supply of extraordinary people. They could still get together a dozen or twenty extraordinary people. This was the territory of an earl after all.

If the extraordinary person cooperates with a large number of soldiers and Li Qi wants to forcefully land on the island, even if he has a palace level, the damage will not be small.

"Wash the floor for me!"

Li Qi looked irritated and slapped the table to give the order directly.

Isn't it just money?

Although it is very profitable to directly accept thousands of prisoners who are good at fighting and strong, and it is also important to keep the land and buildings intact, Li Qi wants this island now.

There are many people on the island, and artillery fire will not kill them all.

The eight ships that received Li Qi's order began to bombard each other at random intervals. Compared with the pretentious salvo before, the almost non-stop artillery fire turned the entire island into a purgatory.

Mal obviously didn't expect this, but he soon no longer needed to think about it. A cannonball that had already been aimed at him kept adjusting its angle in the air, and then hit him with a tricky angle. Afterwards, a large hole was left on the spot, as well as blood-like traces of swatted mosquitoes. The bodies were hard to find.

Seeing the people of Monkey Island running away with their heads in their hands and losing all morale, 'Dwarf' Lehrer waved and shouted: "Surrender, we surrender! I know you can see me!"

The battle for Monkey Island came to an abrupt end in half a day.

Before many people could react, the largest island in the kingdom had changed its lord.

……

The residents of each territory have a strong sense of identification with their lords and nobles, based on blood, belief, and various reasons. This is why Li Qi chose to support a "Princess Sophia" instead of directly occupying the desert and attacking the water stream. The same is true for the land. Little Lild can be a lord, but Li Qi definitely cannot.

A territory is a small country with complete autonomy. They cannot accept the rule of "invaders".

The total population of Monkey Island is about 50000, and they do not believe in the four gods, but believe in the sea god, and firmly believe that the ocean can bring them wealth and life.

Families on the island use various seafood as their family crests.

Li Qi originally planned to leave the island alone, but he didn't expect them to surrender so simply and quickly.

So that day he took two palace-level officials, Isis and Qiang Shi, by boat to Monkey Island.

The script he gave himself was not to be an invader, but to retaliate in kind against the invaded.

Therefore, the attitude towards Monkey Island is very firm, and those who are willing to cooperate and be loyal, and who surrender their free people and slaves, may continue to be nobles.

If you don't want to, just kill them.

With everyone being like this, you wouldn’t think that I would be easy to talk to.

The method for the people of Monkey Island to choose to accept their new lord is also very simple, just copy what Tiegu did before.

First, break up the work, divide it into divisions, and organize them into groups, and then shout slogans every day.

From labor to ideological transformation.

If one generation doesn't work, then two generations, then three generations.

And that's not a bad thing.

Not only is there no slavery, but you are directly forced to work an 8-hour work day, and you are also forced to take breaks and even holidays. Isn’t it terrible?

As soon as Li Qi's decision was announced, it immediately aroused strong opposition from the two families. Will the slaves under their hands still be slaves? Not only must the slaves work according to Li Qi's requirements, but they must also be paid? Are there even holidays?

After the two of them finished talking.

"Kill" Li Qi said calmly to the hussar who came with him and acted as his personal guard: "Remember to kill the whole family. Whether they can be killed cleanly is up to you."

He didn't have a good impression of these Monkey Island people. They just pretended to be pirates and intercepted goods, but they actually put the idea on his own head. Now that he lost to himself, he should be willing to admit defeat.

Therefore, it is best to set an example for the outside world, to scare the monkeys, and for the nobles present to take a look.

The hussar nodded: "Yes!"

"Sir, I think your decision is very good. Sir, please spare us!" The nobleman who was dragged out was still an extraordinary person, but after hearing Li Qi's words, his legs were frightened and he was unable to use any extraordinary power. .

Another cried loudly: "Sir, I had no intention of opposing you, it was him, he coerced me!"

Li Qi raised his hand and dragged the hussar outside to stop.

He leaned forward slightly and asked, "You mean, I'm easy to talk to, better than him?"

"I……"

Is it easy to talk, or is it difficult to talk?

The extraordinary ability finally came into play. The two broke away and kowtowed to the ground. The extraordinary head hit the ground, and the floor tiles cracked with spider web patterns.

The other nobles present lowered their heads and studied the toes of their shoes, as if there was something interesting there.

Everyone is a prisoner. It would be good if they could save their lives or even continue to maintain their status. Of course, it is undeniable that they just want to violate Li Qiyang first. It doesn't matter who the lord is. As long as their lives are not affected, no matter what. good.
