"It's a weird thing, it's different from place to place, doesn't it mean that a lot of people run from us to Kester, I thought you could see teleportation fortresses, magic cars, machine gunners, and stormtroopers everywhere. ”

Werewolf vampire druid...... No, it should be called the master of freedom, crouching in the grass like a cheetah, with a slender and vigorous body, full of wild strength and beauty. However, half of the white and half black long hair is tied into a double ponytail, and as the words are shaken, this feels very discordant, and there is no cute feeling that a double ponytail should have, but it is very charming.

"Belino...... That is, the mad king of Koster, who can recruit anyone. It is said that up to now, he has been awarded one hundred earls, one thousand viscounts, and ten thousand barons, who are either priests of evil gods, or magicians, wizards, and arcanists. ”

Ridgie was next to him, trying not to look at Karin, not knowing what this guy thought of dressing up as a harley quinn.

"The Mad King has given these people the countryside and mountains outside the city, whatever they want, as long as they pull out an army that can be fought. This kind of irregularity is the embodiment of aristocratic feudalism, and when Theresia first joined the alliance, her army was also this virtue. Aren't you witches everyone having a copy of "Historical Materialism" and not studying it seriously?"

Karin smirked: "Aren't I busy learning dialectics, then what kind of virulence Vicky is very energetic, and now she can release magic fireballs." ”

She changed the topic and said in surprise: "Is there 10,000 barons, each baron with a hundred soldiers is a million troops!"

"It's just an exaggeration," Richie muttered, "but if you count as a puppet like the one before, that guy from Belino might really be able to pull out an army of millions." ”

Ripples swam in the air, and a young girl squeezed out of the air next to Li Qi and whispered, "The teleportation circle has been destroyed, but that Arcanist Baron may have other means of teleportation." ”

"It's okay, look at this guy is just a broken household, he didn't hold any thighs, he will be sealed here", Li Qi raised his hand: "Prepare to ......"

"You can go up to see my ——!"

Karin leapt to her feet, her toned body swelling into a giant beast in mid-air, and fell to the ground with a thud.

The beast ploughed the ground with its front paws, its big face crossed and its head bared its teeth and grinned, and it looked like it was going to rush up with a swish.

Then the beast's ass, which was bigger than its face, swayed from side to side, and it ran with small steps.

Watching a giant rolling roll charging at the speed of chasing the milk basin, Li Qi's raised hand froze in the air: "Xiaohong, did that guy poison when he was weaving divine power, and even this guy was infected like this?"

"Ahh

Rolling and screaming in annoyance, his body shook and emitted pale green smoke, and a wolf that was a few circles smaller rushed out of the smoke, swishing out the phantom and shooting at the target.

Let's say it's a wolf, it still retains its black and white fur, plus a little fighting eyes, it's not mighty at all.

Li Qi sighed, looked at the subordinates around him and behind him who were holding back a smile, and his arm fell: "Up!"

Several figures shot out of the grass and scattered to various parts of the valley ahead, and the sound of gunfire and screams rang out continuously. The clouds above the valley churned faintly, unswaying invisible fluctuations, closely monitoring the entire battlefield.

This is the wild mountainous area in the southwest of the kingdom of Kist, and the new viscount in the valley has arrested the surrounding mountain people, along with a working group of the Fei Gong, and is carrying out inhumane human transformation. The team led by Li Qi passed by here, and naturally couldn't sit idly by.

In fact, this was also one of the purposes of Richie's trip, and after the first day of the Fee, Richie found that he had to make a trip to West Fern.

The first is the task assigned by Theresia, who put Theresia on the throne of the Empress first, and the implication of Romrose is quite obvious. It was clear that it would not be easy for Theresia to negotiate directly with Romrose, and he had to act as the go-between.

The meeting to decide the relationship between the two emerging forces of East and West Fein was too insincere to rely only on remote communication by means of communication. And during this time, Romerrose turned around and headed west, not only did the location change all the time, but he couldn't find a safe and reliable channel to catch up with the line, so Li Qi could only go in person.

The second is the situation in the kingdom of Koster, after Belino became the spokesman of the tyrannical god, he was ruthless and vicious, and kneaded the entire kingdom like plasticine at will, so he had the nickname "Mad King".

The Mad King recruits "promising people" on a large scale, regardless of their origins, but only on strength and loyalty...... No, loyalty doesn't matter. Anyway, whoever dares to disobey him and fool him, the corpse that is refreshed in front of the palace every morning will be the end.

The talented people among the strong can get the knight reward, and the hero level starts with the baron, and those who can fight a little can become a viscount. Not only can he fight himself, but he can also pull up an army that can fight, and he can even become an earl, and the legend is the start of a marquis.

The Mad King turned a number of large cities and various important places into direct territories, and the rest of the territory and population were used to recruit these people. Moreover, the previous kingdom law was abolished, and the new nobles only needed to be loyal to him and serve him, and he didn't care what he did in the fiefdom, anyway, the population followed the territory, and it was all counted as the lord's private property.

People from all walks of life, who could only hide in the shadows, swarmed in, causing the Mad King's power to swell rapidly. The original nobles and populace of the Kingdom of Kist joined hands to launch many rebellions, but they were defeated by the Mad King's iron fist and mad minions.

The Mad King's plan was to build a powerful army in the shortest possible time, but it was not clear who he had targeted.

After the establishment of the empire on Theresia's side, it is not uncommon for no one to propose the eradication of this mad king, such as the empress's most loyal knight, Numan Air. But not only was the majority of people opposed, but even Theresia was not very interested, even if the evil god rose and the people were in dire straits.

The empress pulled out Li Qi as a shield, saying that when it was still an order alliance, the Kester Kingdom was assigned to the second front of Li Qi's responsibility, and now it is not the goal of the empire.

It is privately rumored that Prince Belino, like the empress, killed his father and ascended to the throne. If the empress comes forward directly, she will definitely be turned over and fall into the quagmire of morality and ethics, so she can only solve the problem through Li Qi.

Of course, this is from other people's perspectives, for Fei Gong, the Kingdom of Kerst is a must-win place, and now it is still gathering strength to practice internal strength, not the time to fight with the Mad King, and the thousands of underground workers who can be invested cannot be abandoned.

To contact these underground workers, who have always been one-liners, they must be above the cardinal level. Whether to continue the underground work or to take people out also needs to be decided on the spot, and Richie, as the cardinal, is naturally the best candidate.

In addition, he wanted to experience the situation of Chester for himself, so Litch personally led a capable team to sneak into Chestter from the south on a floating ship, moving along the border and deserted areas, dealing with some things that he saw with his own eyes and did his best along the way.

In addition to the two high-end combat forces of Litch and Karin, the team also includes Thorn Fortress Moore, Thorn Priest Maxvi, Death Mouse, Katie, Crimson Sanctuary Constantine, Wizard Egsha, Crimson Druid Cavendi, Silk Witches Mars and Mesh, and ten guards of the Cardinal's Security Office.

Of course, there is also Captain Elon, who is responsible for driving the floating ship, and his team of people, the captain has been clamoring to be an air force admiral, but at present, the air force of the Fei Gong is just this floating ship, plus some griffon-horned eagle beasts used for reconnaissance, search and communication, and they will naturally not let go if they have the opportunity to come out and let off steam.

Except for the Silk Witch, this trip out of the luggage Qi was not originally going to take the witch. Accompanied by Alishan, Finney, Ellie, and Tina take turns to go to the realm of the dead to experience the differences in the planes, comprehend the laws of the planes, and prepare for the promotion to the legend. Eve and Vicky have always been logistical and can't go out, let alone Aurora, the housekeeper.

Unexpectedly, Karin's lazy child actually had the idea of traveling, and according to her, she didn't want to move for the rest of her life, so she threw the druid's mess to Bevero and went out with him.

Judging from the current performance, Karin replaced the little red Gaffini and became the team's comic and yellow jokers, and the team's morale was +2.

Except for the Silky Witch, the entire team is at the hero level. However, the two silks are not weak and impervious existences, they are not only generally upgraded in the inspiration of the kingdom of God, but also quickly take on other professions through dialectics. Marth is now the third level of the fortress, and Meth is the second level of the tyrant, and Richie's previous prophecy has indeed been fulfilled.

The battle in the valley ended after about ten minutes, and the magician Egsha used worm dust to stop the arcanist from teleporting, and Katie stabbed the fellow in the chest with a forbidden effect of adamantite water, throwing the fellow at Richie's feet.

The Arcanist Baron's men all fell to the ground, looking like the Rice Fields Golem. Karin sliced open a puppet with her sharp claws, and let out a scream, and inside was a person, alive, but not much different from dead.

A puppet was carefully dissected, Mars, Mees, and some girls held their chests to the side and vomited, and even Katie, who was used to seeing all kinds of scenes, turned her face away.

The arms and legs of the person inside were cut into sections, filled with an unknown colloid, connected by magic wires, and wrapped in shoddy ordinary metal. The head was skinned and coated in a layer of gel, and the eyeballs were removed, and a magic wire was connected to a pair of cameras modified by the Magic Eye. A magic metal cap was fastened to the head, and when the hat was opened, it was a slightly squirming and steaming brain, and countless metal needles were inserted into it, which were connected to the metal cap through silk threads.

This is how this arcanist turns people into "puppets".

The arcanist shouted unwillingly, "In three minutes, when my puppet warrior is activated, none of you can escape!"

Petite Meth kicked him in the mouth, two teeth and a puddle of blood flying out of the Arcanist's mouth, making him afraid to say anything more.

"This hat looks like the one used by the domesticated velociraptors in the north of Sifein", the Crimson Sanctuary Constantine from Sifern, recognized at a glance the roots of this method of human modification: "It can completely activate the ferocity of living beings, immune to mind and soul spells." Cut off the arms and legs to fit the puppet's robotic legs, and you don't need to add expensive magic metal parts. ”

Li Qi asked: "Is there any salvation?"

Crimson Druid Cavendi, who was the most skilled in medical treatment in the squad, shook his head and sighed: "If you are a transcendent, you can still withstand the toss, this is just a civilian, the soul has collapsed, and the rescue is an empty shell whose spirituality is not even comparable to that of cats and dogs." ”

Li Qi sighed, "Then let him rest in peace, and so will the others." ”

Mith pointed at the Arcanist, "What about this guy?"

Karin said: "Not only is there no infection in amputating the hand and leg, but the robotic arm and leg can be manipulated normally, which is a technique that has some medical value." ”

"Just bring back samples of colloids and components, there are more valuable technologies, and he is not inferior to him," Li Qi said, "and we can't take him on the road, pay for the blood debt, and execute him." ”

Karin hastened to declare: "Well, I'm just making a suggestion from an academic point of view, and I don't have a problem with killing this guy." ”

The Arcanist shouted, "No, I am a vassal of His Majesty, I am a baron, how dare you kill me!"

Two cardinal guards dragged him away, one left and one right, and the Arcanist cried out desperately: "I have treasure elsewhere!

Dressed in ordinary sackcloth, Li Qi and the others, who looked like adventurers, ignored them, and the arcanist was pressed to his knees. Realizing that he was going to die, he cried out in despair: "Who are you going to kill me for some untouchables, you are insane!"

Karin muttered, "He doesn't know from which ravine this man came from, and what kind of world he is now."

Li Qi said disdainfully: "Those who can run to the Mad King to seek wealth and prosperity must also have hope for their insight and intelligence."

"You are ......"

The Arcanist probably came back to his senses, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Mikhail's magic spear was pressed against the side of his head. Blue light flickered, and a cloud of red and white debris erupted from the other side of his head, and the Arcanist's eyes suddenly bulged and froze.

Another guard shot him in the forehead, and the Arcanist fell on his back like a sack, and the Sorcerer Egsha said, "This is an Arcanist, and it is not to be taken lightly." ”

With a wave of her hand, she threw a ball of blue flame and landed on the Arcanist, and the corpse was instantly engulfed in flames with a crackling sound.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and Karin opened her mouth to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere, but looked at the skinned human head and closed her mouth again.

This Arcanist Baron was still in the pioneering stage, and the castle in the valley was only half built. These "puppet warriors" were both guards and builders, and there were forty or fifty in total. Cavendi checked each of them, confirmed that none of the civilians who had undergone the transformation could be saved, and let them rest in peace.

The white rat took Moore and Maxvi and others to rescue more than 200 people from the dungeon under the castle, and there was no old man, it must be that the arcanist felt that the old man had no value in accepting transformation and wasted food, so he killed him directly when he was arrested.

"The ...... Cardinal"

A young man knelt down in front of Li Qi, desperately trying not to cry: "My comrade-in-arms...... The four comrades-in-arms are all dead. ”

"I ......"

Li Qi almost said "I'm late", thought about it, and changed his words: "We still have to move forward, do you want to rest, or do you want to continue fighting, don't rush to answer now, think about it for a while." ”

Under the command of Karin and Cavendi, the team treats the wounded and gives them water. These people are all mountain people, and their physical fitness is not bad, otherwise they would not have been chosen by the arcanists. They soon recovered, and when they were asked to go home on their own, they all shook their heads in unison, and then looked at the young man.

"Are you adventurers thank you, but the rest of the matter, we listen to Lavelle. ”

"Lavelle and his friends have been protecting us, his friends have been killed, but he has not given up hope and is still encouraging us. ”

"He told us a lot of great things, and although we didn't understand it, we all took him as a guru, and we had to follow him. ”

This is a good seedling with an unusually strong revolutionary will, Li Qi sighed and came to the young man's side.

The young man named Lavelle said: "I want to continue fighting, Cardinal, this is not an impulse, nor is it simply revenge for my comrades, I just feel that I cannot give up. ”

Richie asked, "So have you figured out how to fight?"

"Originally, I wanted to contact the central government if I could survive, in addition to enlisting the support of the central government and obeying the central command, I also hoped to cancel the one-line contact, twist our working groups scattered throughout the kingdom into a rope, and then ......"

Ravelle scratched his head: "The rest should not be something that people like me can think clearly, I'm still just a trainee thorn priest." ”

"No...... It's not a question of the level of strength, it's a matter of wisdom and determination", said Rich: "You are a Kester, you should know very well how to unite the people in Kester." ”

He sighed slightly, "Of course, I also want to make clear to you our overall strategy for the Kist Kingdom. International ...... Now I mean that the situation in the world is very delicate, the power of the Mad King of Vester is very strong, and our Fei Gong is vigorously developing, and before we break through a certain bottleneck, the power contrast between us and the Vester Kingdom is very different. ”

Ravel nodded: "Yes, there are close to 10 million people in Koster, and there are only 200,000 people in our Godfall Plateau. ”

"So, we can't let the Mad King point the finger at us right now, and put our great cause in serious jeopardy," Ritchie continued, "but we can't sit idly by and watch the suffering people of the kingdom of Koster, and for every man saved, the Mad King will have one less soldier. If you continue to fight here, the goal is not to defeat the evil lords, but to unite the people, convince the Kist of the Ferdo, and then take them out of the land that is sinking into the abyss. ”

Ravel muttered, "Get out of here...... Go to the Divine Fall Plateau!"

Again, his eyes lit up: "Yes, let them join our family!"

To be honest, Litch and the others hadn't figured out what to do in Kester, and now they've come all the way, and they've dealt with things like this arcanist several times, but they haven't met anyone from the working group. Now that he had met Lavelle, his will, and the effectiveness of his mass work, Richie felt that it was time to make a decision.

Beacons were lit in Kester, but not for battle, but for retreat. Absorb and preserve every spark before the decisive battle comes.
