Chapter 291: The Earl's Ambition
In this way, the monsters were destroyed, and the soldiers carried their corpses with their spears, and could not help but smile, as if they had become heroes in a legendary story.
Next, destroying the nest is not so difficult.
This time, Luo Ming didn't even use the cannon, but held the long sword at his waist.
Of course, artillery was certainly a more convenient and safer option, but the gunpowder he had hoarded was also limited, and now it was only one and a half barrels in total.
Although he had contacted several groups of merchants to provide the corresponding raw materials, some of which were already on the way, one of them had not been used on a large scale in the past few years, so the merchants did not have much stockpiling.
Sooner or later, he will have to open his own mines to collect all kinds of raw materials, but now he definitely can't count on it.
Moreover, this winter has passed, and his swordsmanship has become a little lonely.
Although there are still two swordsmen as his rivals, since they are his own people, it is impossible to come up with too many fierce killing moves to hurt each other.
As for teaching disciples, it doesn't take one-third of his full strength.
Luo Ming licked his lips and stepped forward.
He had already visually measured the length of the tentacle, and naturally knew at what distance the opponent could attack before it could hit him.
At this moment, the long sword was unsheathed, like a white rainbow!
The soldiers only saw his body shake for a moment, and then the two tentacles spilled blood and fell to the ground.
"Hey, come again!"
Not to mention, the power of the tentacles of this lair could at least repel one or two high-level swordsmen, which also made his interest high.
"Don't look at it. ”
At this moment, Ariana said lightly.
She was originally loyal to Luo Ming, and now when she was in the army, she held the position of the chief of the military chaplain, and theoretically had the same status as the squadron leader's lieutenant, but how dare the squadron leader Oss really give orders to this clergyman?
Even though the status of the two was almost equal, Oss listened to her words, and immediately shouted loudly, so that the soldiers gathered their minds and began to clean up the battlefield and prepare to return.
Sure enough, when the three cannons were cleaned and the gunpowder and shells were put away, a white fire also ignited on Luo Ming's side.
The self-defense ability of this lair is enough to repel one or two high-level swordsmen, or kill a dozen ordinary soldiers in a row, but it is still a little short of a swordsman, not to mention that Luo Ming is also stronger among swordsmen - after cutting off its tentacles one by one, Luo Ming stabbed a sword into the part where it was connected to the root, forcibly pouring Cang Yan in.
At this time, I can fully feel that it is indeed a monster between animals and plants.
It is the size of a car on the ground, and the main root system in the ground extends nearly ten meters...... If it was completely flesh and blood, after being burned alive by Luo Ming, he should at least give him feedback equivalent to burning two or three cows, not to mention that the magic power contained in its body can also be transformed into fighting energy.
However, he had actually only obtained a total of two ox-level fighting spirits, and the flesh-and-blood parts that it could really move were basically the ones on the ground, and the root system underground was really no different from trees.
However, after all, it was the fighting spirit that he picked up for nothing, and he didn't care so much.
After chopping off a few parts, he burned the monster's corpses one by one, adding half a cow's fighting spirit.
By the way, after a cow was burned by Cangyan, the transformed fighting qi was about eight adults.
At this rate, he would probably be able to eradicate about thirty-seven more nests before he could reach the threshold of the Great Sword Master.
In fact, most of the nests he encounters in the future will create more monsters, so he will definitely bring more fighting energy, and he will not really have to find thirty-seven nests to make up enough.
This is mainly due to the fact that his Dou Qi reserves are five times that of the same level...... Otherwise, simply making up the reserves of fighting qi is not too simple for him who is sitting on Cang Yan.
Of course, it is still not easy to enter the Great Sword Master's doorstep, but if you can't even reach the door, you don't need to mention the doorstep at all.
The parts, such as the fangs, claws, scales, tails, and tentacles that had broken from the nest, were given by Lormin to Ariana to help purify them. There will be great use in the future.
Although his cangyan can also be used for purification, if he is not careful, he will burn these things, and it is too troublesome to control the power slightly, so it is better to ask Yariana - she is a doppelganger of the god of cleansing, and of course she is very familiar with this aspect.
=================================
Connor Hill Castle.
Although the sun had been setting for almost two hours, a lampstand with sixteen candles hung from the ceiling illuminated the room almost as bright as day.
On the table in front of the Count lay a map of linen, which took up half of the table, but on it there was almost only one county of Van Shei.
There are more than a dozen thin needles inserted in many directions of the map, and the exposed end of the thin needle is bent out of the pattern, and then wrapped in gems of various colors, which is a luxury for a pin.
Although the gemstones are only the size of a grain of rice, they are definitely not cheap, and each piece can make the average person eat a few meals. However, for the Count, who was also a county watchman, it was a small expense that was not worth mentioning.
Opposite him sat an old man with gray hair.
"Although the big snake was dying of old age, she had another snake cub. Although he is a little immature, he still hides a poison sac behind his fangs. ”
In an almost cursed tone, the old man spoke of the two nominal rulers of the current principality, "If the men of that family are still a little brave, the women are completely insidious, alas, that is, the goddess loves her heirs, otherwise how could this be tolerated?"
"Calm down a little, the opportunities are already in front of you, you have to guard against arrogance and rashness.
Even if this is done, you will only be able to restore your family name and a small fiefdom, and you will still be three generations away from fully restoring the grandeur of the past.
When you're old, don't think about it so much. ”
Having said this, the Count was equally agitated, and his heart thumped as if he had been as young as he had been twenty years ago.
"Although the sword master theoretically has a lifespan of more than 100 years, I was indiscriminate, indulged in pleasures, and experienced a hundred creations, but now I am only fifty, and I already feel that my body is declining, even if I can survive the next holy war, I don't have the strength to charge again.
Before that, I have to seize the opportunity to do something, so that I can feel at ease to meet your ancestors, and live up to the hard work of most of my life, and the assistance of my husband for so many years. ”
The old man said loudly, "I will be loyal to you to the end!"
As he spoke, the two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.
