Lord of Rot

Chapter 220 1 "Elite"

A small group of noble knights rode towards the Porcupine Territory.

The flag of the hoofed war horse flutters in the wind.

Before we even get close to the Porcupine Collar, we can see thick smoke billowing from the horizon.

The group of people was very quiet. No one talked during the journey. Finally, after traveling for half a day, they followed the direction of the thick smoke and arrived at the Porcupine Territory.

There was a group of armored soldiers guarding the road, with weapons in their hands and brand-new armor on their bodies. Judging from their childish faces, they were not veterans.

After getting closer, the knights slowly stopped.

The leading blond knight said: "I am Philip Cavendish, the leader of the First Knights. I have something important to see Lord Reacher Clarence."

The leading soldier said: "Your Excellency is already waiting at the castle."

Wait?

Philip was surprised.

They marched in a hurry, riding excellent war horses, and did not meet any scouts. Why did Li Qi know that he and others were coming?

But that’s fine, it saves you a lot of time.

Everyone is a noble. Although Porcupine collar looks very good, it is still far behind Donggang City. They do not see the value of these buildings. They just feel that life in Porcupine collar is orderly and free people can live and work in peace and contentment.

They were given the impression that Baron Porcupine was a good lord.

As soon as they entered the castle, they saw a handsome black-haired young man standing at the door. He was talking to a girl wearing leather armor. There was a cat lying on the girl's head. The two seemed to be chatting very happily. The cats listened intently, as if they could understand.

The knights who came in shining armor instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the castle.

The girl hugged the cat and left.

"Good day! Sir Clarence!" Philip Cavendish dismounted, a little hastily: "I am Philip Cavendish, and I am here with Archduke Leopold's recruitment order."

"Conscription order?" Li Qi was quite surprised.

So, the Golden Thorn Sword family really started fighting with others? I am really afraid of what will happen.

What happened in the meantime? Even if Leopold was paralyzed in bed, he did not believe that those nobles would dare to make trouble secretly, unless the Grand Duke was not just paralyzed in bed.

Unfortunately, Li Qi was unable to obtain first-hand information.

His grandfather, Baron Crocodile, was far away from Donggang City. Although he was also a vassal of the East Gorge, he was not a firm Leopold faction. The old nobles had their own positions and ideas, and they did not even belong to the same lord. But they have close contact.

On the other side, Longship Castle seemed to have become a vassal of the Monkey Family in the eyes of others, making it impossible to obtain key information.

"That's right"

Philip Cavendish nodded, and he looked at Li Qi very seriously.

People in Dongxia know very well that the Porcupine Baron is a staunch Grand Duke faction. The late old Porcupine Baron Leald Clarence has made great contributions to the Grand Duke countless times. Otherwise, how could a blacksmith's son go from having nothing to becoming a noble in a place? lord.

He took out the unopened lacquered letter and handed it to Li Qi.

Li Qicai read it quickly and frowned slightly: "This was not written by the Grand Duke."

The above content is very simple. Let Reach gather soldiers, follow Philip Cavendish to Three Forks Fort, and follow the command to fight.

But it was not signed by Drew Leopold.

"It's Lord Pine's order," Philip explained: "Because the Grand Duke is seriously injured, it is inconvenient to handle government affairs now, and the matter is urgent, so Lord Pine can only give the order."

Lord is not a specific title in Lulea continent, but generally refers to the heirs of lords who have not yet obtained the title. It is a less respectful title. Of course, you can also use the snake oil title of "Sir". As long as you are not the king, all nobles It's all jazz.

But it is rare to actually call other people "Lord", unless you are respectful from the bottom of your heart, it would be nice not to call Pine "The Golden Stallion" behind his back.

"Please go to the castle to rest first," Li Qi said, "I will immediately give the order to summon the soldiers."

"That would be great," said Philip Cavendish, beaming.

The people behind him were also relieved.

This... something is wrong. I am just a small Porcupine Baron. Even if I put the entire Porcupine Territory on top, there will only be more than 2,000 people. Why are you so excited?

Li Qi said to the retinue Carrot: "Go and ask Sir Quickblade to gather the team. Let him come after he is sure he is ready."

He deliberately emphasized the word "certain" because he was afraid that Kuai Ren would actually organize his team when he heard about the war.

This confirmation was not made by Kuai Jian, but by Li Qi. He had to figure out what happened first.

With the current level of training for porcupine collars, it will never take more than 20 minutes from gathering to departure. After all, there is also the armor-donation part.

His father Lild was a pro-Ecumenical faction, and he had no other chance to take sides. From the beginning, everyone identified him as being a member of the Grand Duke's faction.

If it was the Grand Duke himself who gave the order, he would definitely obey the order and fight the war well, but if it was Pine Leopold, there would be a question mark.

What's more, Li Qi didn't have a good impression of Pine Leopold. In comparison, Red Rose was more popular with him. She was beautiful and kind, and she could also help him sell soap.

A dozen noble gentlemen walked into the castle wearing plate armor with different decorations, as if the war was urgent and they could not take off their armor.

"Come here, bring mead to all the knights. They must be thirsty on their way."

This is the first time that so many nobles have come to Porcupine Collar, and the male and female servants are a little helpless.

Li Qi secretly thought that he still saw few big scenes. With these onions, except for one Philip Cavendish who had some background, who were the others? never heard of that.

Look at Philip Cavendish again, wearing a flashy plate armor, blond hair, and his appearance is only slightly inferior to his own... he is worthy of being a midnight high-beam knight, Li Qi squinted in the sun Looking at him, I felt like having road rage.

Moreover, Philip's aura is very strong and he should be an extraordinary person.

He believed that Philip also saw that he belonged to the extraordinary.

Refreshing beer was delivered, the knights raised their glasses, and a burst of "ha" and "ha" sounds came from the castle.

"Sir Philip, don't you know what happened in the East Gorge?" Li Qi asked: "I, a porcupine, lead a remote country, and I didn't receive the information in time. Why do I suddenly have to recruit troops?"

"Miss Leopold was kidnapped by a group of black cavalry."

"Miss Evan Jielin?" Li Qi was surprised. No, he just wrote a letter to comfort Evan Jielin two days ago, and also sent Porcupine Collar's latest scented soap, and Evan Jielin also wrote a reply. Time It's not right.

Unless this group of noble knights could fly, they would have already set off before Evangeline wrote the letter.

"Of course not, Miss Evangelion is at Roaring Castle!" Philip's mood was relatively nervous, which made Li Qi couldn't help but take a second look.

He was so familiar with this temperament, it was like looking in the mirror...no, it was like having a crush on Evan Jielin, written directly on his face.

He added: "I will never let Miss Evanjielin get hurt!"

Sure enough, it felt a bit like boiling sheep.

Li Qi admired each other very much, but was skeptical about this relationship. For no other reason, Hong Qiangwei was already 17 years old. If the two of them were in love, they would definitely get engaged, but he had never heard any relevant signals.

"Which lady is that?" Li Qi asked.

Philip said: "Miss Agnes, Miss Evangeline's sister, she went to Three Forks Castle some time ago to marry Lord Steven of Three Forks Castle, but was kidnapped by a group of black cavalry in front of the Three Forks River in the castle. Lord Steven who went to greet him was also injured."

It turned out that a branch of the family had been robbed.

The Leopold family had a great business, and their cousins, some of whom were not a hundred, but some were eighty, their importance was instantly reduced.

It was even more out of his control. Shouldn't Leopold send troops to fight in this situation where he was slapped in the face?

Or did Leopold's own soldiers not want to take action?

"Sir Philip, how many nobles and soldiers have you summoned in total?"

"These are all the knights you see," Philip Cavendish said: "We currently have 200 elite soldiers, 500 militiamen, and 300 mercenaries, all stationed outside the Pig Back Valley."

"..."

Li Qi suddenly understood something.

That's it?
