Lord of Rot

Chapter 320 Siege of Longship Castle (page 12)

In the Iron Wall Fortress, Li Qi looked at the raven in his hand to convey the message with a solemn expression.

Just one sentence.

"The Siege of Longship Castle"

Li Qi balled up the paper and turned around to look at Pitts who had delivered the letter.

He said: "Go and call the stewards immediately. I have important instructions."

"Yes, sir!" Pitts nodded.

She blew a whistle, and black birds flew over and landed in front of the window.

They have tufted frontal feathers and were discovered by Pitts accidentally. After being brought back, they have been used as ordinary birds to patrol the Iron Valley territory. However, they were accidentally recognized by Li Qi, who ordered Pitts to cultivate and teach them carefully. They speak.

Yes, this large black bird is a myna that can imitate human speech!

Pitts said to the starlings: "Go tell the stewards and ask them to return to the castle immediately!"

"Go back to the castle! Go back to the castle!"

"Go back to the castle! Go back to the castle!"

The starlings kept repeating these words and flew towards the outside of the Iron Wall Castle.

Li Qi quickly wrote a letter on his desk.

Then he handed it to Pitts: "Send it back to the porcupine collar immediately, the sooner the better!"

"Yes! Sir" Pitts nodded and quickly found an energetic raven. After tying the letter, he released the raven.

The stewards gathered very quickly. The stewards who were three villages away would definitely not be able to come back that day. They could only wait until they arrived before asking for information from other people.

All the nearby stewards dropped their work and rushed over.

A group of people stood in the meeting hall.

Li Qi glanced at the faces of the aristocratic young people. After this period of training, part of the aristocratic hypocrisy on their bodies has been worn away, their skin has become darker, and everyone's eyes are shining.

They devote themselves wholeheartedly to the construction of their territory, and only when they truly come into contact with their rights will they undergo transformation.

As for Fat Steward Hay, he's even fatter.

And because recently, Lily, who was instructed by Li Qi, suppressed the fat steward Hay Cao, making Hay Cao become more and more careful in his work.

Li Qi said straight to the point: "We have a battle to fight!"

fight!

The noble youths suddenly became excited.

The only way to gain merit is through war!

Maybe Li Qi gave them a way to gain merit and glory through development and construction, but the education they received from childhood told them that the honor gained in war is the most valuable!

Moreover, war is also the fastest way to promotion.

To put it aside, the lord I am loyal to now became the lord of Iron Valley through war.

Li Qi continued: "Everyone should know very well that we have a very good relationship with Shuijiandi. More than half of the food in the entire Iron Valley needs Shuijiandi to supply it."

Everyone nodded. They had been here for a long time, and of course similar news could not escape their ears.

And they still remember that last year, because the illegitimate son Wodu Shiba robbed Li Qi's slave, Li Qi led his men to the water stream and chopped off Wodu Shiba's head.

Their friendship must have been established at that time.

"The food of the Porcupine Territory can be harvested in one month, but it cannot feed more than 10,000 mouths." Li Qi said: "The relationship between the Monkey Territory and us has not been very good. If we let them capture the Longship Castle and control the water stream, It will be even more difficult for us to buy food in the future!”

After talking about the reasons for jeopardizing the development of the entire territory, Li Qi talked about smaller reasons.

"Porcupine's family motto is full of thorns! Longship Castle is our friend. They are under siege, so we must help and fight back against those disgusting monkeys!"

Li Qi knew very well that even if he didn't say this, the young nobles would be eager to go to the battlefield with him right now.

But the reasons for the war must be clarified, and they need to be famous. Those reasons are not for the group of nobles in front of them. As members of the nobles, although they do not have titles and seem to have low status, they still belong to the nobles and can Divide the dividends of the war.

Li Qi's words were meant for the soldiers.

Why should we care about the life and death of other territories when everyone is living a good life?

Morale is an invisible thing. Everyone is a living person, but this emotion also exists.

After Shuijian is conquered, the monkey leader may cut off our food supply and increase prices. Moreover, Shuijian is still our friend. How can we not fight this battle!

From helping others to helping yourself, people will immediately become full of energy.

"I need some people to stay and continue to manage the development of Iron Valley, and the others will follow me to the battlefield!" Li Qi looked at the young nobles.

"Sir, I want to follow you to the battlefield!"

"Sir, I want to go too!"

"Sir, let us kill those cunning monkeys!"

Li Qi almost forgot that the reputation of the Monkey family has not been very good, especially in the eyes of the knights who advocate "charge". The monkeys who believe in "the wise man is good at hiding" are simply rats hiding in the gutter, and their popularity is also extremely poor.

Li Qi said: "I need someone to stay. Iron Wall Fort is our backing, and if we need it later, the people who stay can go directly to the battlefield after receiving my message."

He looked at everyone and asked, "Okay, who wants to stay?"

……

The raven flew along the coast and finally arrived at the Porcupine Territory.

Grant, who was busy arranging and solving work problems for the new slaves, suddenly heard someone calling him. He stopped what he was doing and turned around to look back.

Here comes the castle footman.

"What's wrong?" Grant asked.

"It's a letter from the lord!" The servant handed the letter to Grant.

The letter sent back by the lord will usually be handed over to Grand Steward Grant. If Grant doesn't have time, he may give it to Lacey, Quick Blade or Qiao.

Crowe Camel was not considered at all, and he was approached only when there was no other choice.

After taking the letter and opening it with his index finger, Grant's expression suddenly changed.

He said: "Go and notify Master Kuaiblade and Master Lacey immediately!"

……

The two knights led by Porcupine rushed to the castle on horseback as soon as they received the news, but they did not see Grant in the castle.

Just when he was about to find someone to ask, he saw Grant running towards him panting.

"What happened?" Quick Blade asked.

Grant directly handed the letter over, but Kuai Ren didn't pick it up. Lacey on the side reached out to take the letter and quickly scanned the contents.

Facing the sharp blade that looked at him eagerly and expectantly, Lacey said: "The monkey leader has taken action against Shuijiandi. Your Excellency asked us to immediately dispatch some soldiers to the Iron Wall Fort to help Shuijiandi resist the monkey family!"

"Haha, I've already seen those monkeys unhappy!" Kuai Ren was overjoyed.

He had been ordered to lead the team to Giant's Foot to participate in the Burning City War. He had come into contact with the Monkey Family and did not like those vicious people at all.

"What else?" Kuai Ren asked: "Your Excellency didn't tell us what we should bring with us?"

"I told you." Lacey nodded and said, "My lord, I told you to bring over the armor and muskets that were made during this period."
