“You kicked down my door.”
Lin Yi, draped in a loose robe, felt half-asleep. He yawned and leisurely ordered, “Then leave your head behind.”
With that, he snapped his fingers.
Wang Qiu'er obediently brought over a chair. Once Lin Yi was seated, she gently massaged his shoulders with her small, pink fists.
Her watery eyes gazed quietly at the group of invaders, as if looking at dead men.
“Boss! There’s a misunderstanding!”
Liu Hao’s pupils suddenly contracted, his heart pounding, as he tried to salvage the situation.
But that terrifying humanoid weapon had no intention of giving him a chance.
“Kill!”
White rings suddenly gleamed in Wang Tiezhu’s bell-like eyes. Her thick thigh muscles contracted rapidly, gathering strength in an instant.
Immediately after, she pushed off with her legs. Before the dirt on the ground could even rise, she transformed into a blur of light, rushing into the crowd bare-handed.
Bang!
With a single punch, the enemy at the very front had no time to react before his head split open like a watermelon.
The crisp sound was a good start!
Blood mixed with white viscous matter splattered, as if igniting a powder keg.
“Kill them!”
“The chance to earn Contribution Points is here!”
The Spearman warriors gripped their spears tightly and charged low. In the blink of an eye, they were two meters from the door-breaking enemies.
“Formation-Breaking Spear!”
Pfft!
A line of long spears, perfectly synchronized, thrust out in a flash of lightning.
The spear blades moved incredibly fast.
The expressions of shock on the faces of the ordinary troop units at the very front were still frozen in the moment their comrade’s head exploded.
When the Spearman attacked, those who reacted quickly tried to block with their weapons, but they were clearly too slow.
And… the Grim Reaper’s scythe would not give anyone a second chance.
Several silver-white spear blades pierced through the hearts of the unlucky ones in front, emerging on the other side stained with a little blood.
“Rotate!”
The Spearman warriors in the first row twisted their wrists, thoroughly mangling the enemies’ hearts before withdrawing their weapons and silently retreating to the rear to make way for their comrades.
“Counterattack! Counterattack!”
“Close the distance!”
“Don’t push me, get lost.”
“…”
Seeing several of their own fall in the first exchange, a sense of fear, like a disease, rapidly spread through Liu Hao’s group.
A chaotic, undisciplined group, compared to the Scarlet Tassel Spearman, they were simply a rabble!
“Pfft!”
After a few more breaths.
Several more corpses lay on the ground.
Liu Hao subconsciously touched the warm liquid on his cheek, and smelling the nauseating odor, he finally reacted.
At the same time, a soul-shaking tremor swept through every corner of his body like a tide.
The disparity in strength was too vast!
Those Spearman were definitely not ordinary rare troop types.
He didn’t even dare to harbor a single thought of resistance.
“Retreat… Retreat quickly!!!!”
Being able to give orders at this moment was his last act of stubbornness.
After shouting loudly, he ignored everyone else, pulling Shadiao beside him and sprinting towards the forest behind them.
“Fewer people over there, hurry!”
The skinny youth followed behind them, shouting and pointing in one direction.
Liu Hao looked in that direction.
Indeed, in the sparse thicket there, there were only three or five villagers.
Like a drowning man grasping at a lifeline, Liu Hao slightly adjusted his direction and ran desperately towards that spot.
Facts proved that people truly can unleash their potential when facing death.
At this moment, Liu Hao even felt as if he was flying, skimming across the ground!
His speed was unprecedentedly fast!
Perhaps because the wooden wall gate was narrow, the Scarlet Tassel Spearman did not immediately pursue them out.
After Liu Hao and the others forced the villagers back and escaped the encirclement, they looked back.
The previously imposing and well-organized team had been scattered and decimated.
As the encirclement tightened, total annihilation was only a matter of time.
“Gulp… Run!”
Liu Hao swallowed, then ran into the depths of the forest without looking back.
“We should go too!”
The skinny youth looked left and right, finding that the other two lords were also not trapped in the encirclement, and urged, “Split up!”
Escaping the desperate situation.
The few of them knew they were racing against death.
Without any hesitation, they each chose a direction and plunged forward.
“Lord, they’ve all been killed.”
Wang Tiezhu shook the blood from her hands and respectfully reported to Lin Yi.
“Mm.”
Lin Yi squinted slightly, looking through the collapsed gate at the direction where those few had disappeared.
“Are they being followed closely?”
Wang Fugui quickly emerged from the crowd and replied, “Don’t worry, Lord! The young lads we stationed outside are very clever.”
“They were so motivated when they heard they could eat fresh vegetables after completing the mission!”
Lin Yi nodded, “Oh, right, remember to reward the two slaves who were responsible for luring the enemy. As for the others, you can go back to your duties.”
“Understood!”
Looking at the corpses sprawled haphazardly on the ground at the entrance, Lin Yi felt a dull ache in his chest, which only subsided after a while.
Clang—
Xiang Yi leaped down from the watchtower, as agile and graceful as a feline.
Were it not for the inherent characteristics of her armor, perhaps there would have been no sound upon landing.
Regarding matters of war.
As one of the territory’s top two champions, Xiang Yi naturally came to the front line to guard Lin Yi.
However, to conceal his trump card, Lin Yi had not allowed her to act.
“My Lord, is this your first time?”
Xiang Yi folded her arms, observing Lin Yi’s slightly pale face with interest.
“Small stuff, just a splash of water,” Lin Yi said, feigning nonchalance.
“Hehe~”
Xiang Yi’s red lips parted slightly as she teased with a laugh, “This concubine doesn’t think so.”
“Just now, My Lord was holding Miss Qiu’er’s wrist very tightly.”
Lin Yi’s old face flushed upon hearing this, and he did not continue to argue with her on this topic.
He simply opened his territory panel.
The history of notification messages immediately appeared.
“Your slave has been captured. Upon rescuing the slave, you will gain a strong claim to the perpetrator lord’s territory – Humiliation.”
“Your territory is under attack. You have gained a strong claim to the attacker’s territory – Counterattack. And gained the bonus effect ‘Timely Retribution - Legion march speed increased!’”
“Your army has killed an invading Elite Militia (Lv7).”
“Your army has killed…”
“…”
He had gained strong claims on four lords!
Below that were all the kill records.
Lin Yi personally oversaw this wave of attacks, maximizing the experience gain!
His level surged to 16, and his Spiritual Energy attribute also reached the 11-point mark.
Upon closer examination, he could feel the immense power contained within his limbs and bones!
Clenching his fist, which was as big as a sandbag, his rapidly climbing strength gave Lin Yi an idea.
“The income from fighting is too great…”
Lin Yi leaned back in his chair, his thoughts racing.
As a lord, there were countless ways to gain experience.
Killing enemies, building, gathering, either by himself or his subordinates.
Even the happiness of his residents could make him stronger!
However, at present.
Killing enemies was the fastest way to level up.
“It’s almost time.”
Xiang Yi spoke, reminding him.
“Oh, go ahead.”
Lin Yi knew what she was referring to. He stood up and, accompanied by Wang Qiu'er, headed towards the manor.
After walking some distance, he said lazily, with his back to Xiang Yi,
“Just in case, besides all the legion warriors, bring another thousand slaves. Ailina is at home, so it’s very safe.”
