Fishing Druid in Another World

Chapter 318: Ande Town Stops the Enemy

There are good reasons for choosing Baron Ainomu as the last stop.

Ainomu is not only close to Povac, but also in a weak lord period.

The original Baron Ainomu died from a cold arrow during the last barbarian invasion.

It is said that he was in a melee at the time, and only when he was bleeding from all seven orifices did he realize that the arrow was poisonous, and it was too late to save him.

The successor was only nine years old at the time, and he could be said to be a weak lord. This is the crux of many problems.

Moreover, the gossip information has spread to the small villages in the neighboring territories. Even though there is a lack of entertainment activities in this era, people like to spread gossip, but it is still a bit abnormal.

The lord dares to chew nonsense, I am afraid he has forgotten his duty as a mud leg.

In theory, even if Baron Povac wants to maintain the image and authority of the ruler, he will let the mayor, tax collector, sheriff and the like supervise the occurrence of such things.

But the related gossip is spread widely, vividly, with rich details, and several versions.

This is the abnormal part.

According to Priest Luo's understanding, in the struggle between nobles, it is an important step to weaken their reputation first.

Lack of dignity, weakness, ridiculous... Such reputations are more deadly than brutality and evil in the border areas.

After all, the weak cannot effectively protect their territory and people.

Therefore, Priest Luo has reason to believe that there are more than one group of people coveting Enom, so they first defeated their power, removed their power, then cut their wings, and finally divided them up.

He even felt that the poison arrow was probably related to the coveters.

After all, the northern land where the barbarians live is cold, and the environment has a strong inhibitory effect on toxins.

Moreover, toxins are often not easy to preserve. With the equipment conditions of the barbarians, it is costly to extract or store them.

Baron Enom is a mature frontier lord after all, with rich combat experience. He would have noticed the general toxins as soon as he was hit.

Toxins that are highly concealed and deadly after onset are all alchemical products for the kingdom. It is extremely difficult for the barbarians to prepare them.

And according to the cultural customs of the northern barbarians, using tricks such as poison is contrary to their admiration for bravery and fortitude...

Let's talk about the terrain of Enom.

Surrounded by forests and mountains, it forms a plain like a small basin. Since the only access is in the south, even if the northern barbarians invade, they will not choose to open a road in the primeval forest to attack Enom. Doing so is too inefficient. The northern barbarians are just plundering, not having any great hatred.

Such a terrain pattern naturally makes the frontier nobles jealous.

It is said that the previous Baron Enom also discovered a gold mine somewhere in the mountains of his territory. Although it is small, it is still coveted.

After several years of low-key development, it was finally calculated by someone with ulterior motives through spending that there was a big problem with its income and expenditure, and then used spies to further discover the little secret of its possession of the gold mine.

Pastor Luo felt that this was the direct reason why Baron Enom was killed.

Now, the disadvantage of having only one exit has also emerged.

If Baron Povac is slow to respond to the northern barbarian raiders, and the northern barbarian raiders happen to bypass Enom, then Baron Enom's bloodline may be wiped out.

Baron Enom is a vassal of Grand Duke Malos. In theory, after the heir is cut off, the Grand Duke has the right to take back the corresponding fiefdom.

But the family of Grand Duke Malos is currently in a weak state, which makes it easy for variables to occur. For example, the wife's family or side branches can use the relevant laws of the kingdom to declare that they have the right of inheritance.

And neighbors can also play actual occupation.

Or stage a play, Enom is occupied by the northern barbarians, the baron's direct line is destroyed, and the loss of land is responsible, but it can't be whipped, right?

Then the neighbors who bravely regained the lost land should be rewarded?

If the answer is yes, then they will enter the stage of blending, PY trading, and finally divide the property. Grand Duke Malos has nothing to say, after all, it is a trick played within the rules.

Therefore, priest Luo believes that Enom will most likely be in trouble in this round of northern barbarian invasion.

Then this is very suitable for him to add drama.

To save Enom, Enom must at least give him a knight's territory as a reward.

The knight's territory ranges from farms to towns, and there are many details.

But priest Luo is very open-minded in this regard. He doesn't mind the bad ones, and he is not surprised by the good ones. He just needs an anchor point now, and needs to restore the glory of the Tatus family and become a true noble again.

As long as this step is completed, those open means to deal with mud legs and even free people will basically be ineffective.

As for the dark tricks such as assassination, let's put it this way, the king and the pope can't avoid it, so why should he expect to be exempted?

Besides, as long as it is not the kind of rule-based dimensionality reduction attack that says "you are an inferior, and I will just kill you for no reason", he is not afraid of anyone if it is just a fight under the table.

Working day and night, Ande Town is not far away.

Baron Ainomu has two large towns, and the rest are farms and a newly added mining village.

When the previous Baron Ainomu was alive, he lived in Ande Town. Although there is no baron castle here, the town wall is built like a city wall, and the walls are strong and the fields are cleared, and there are many shooting towers, just to guard the gate of this territory.

After the young new lord took over, he retreated to Ainomu Town. Now the ruler of Ande Town is the new lord's uncle, Sir Gulao.

"Huh..." Priest Luo stopped his mount, looked at the town gate, and activated the badge.

"I am ordered by Baron Bovac to meet Baron Ainomu for urgent matters."

There was no movement on the top of the city.

Priest Luo shouted again.

After waiting for a while and seeing no movement, he shouted for the third time.

This time, someone responded, somewhat lacking confidence: "My master said that no matter what important business, the city will be locked at night and no reception will be given."

Pastor Luo sneered, shook the reins, and rode around the town.

"Are you leaving?"

"Yes, sir."

"Very good, this is a good job, tomorrow, you will get a real reward."

"Thank you, sir!"

After a brief conversation, the so-called 'sir' returned to the officer's single room on duty in the barracks to continue resting.

However, as soon as he closed the door and looked back, he found that there was already someone sitting in the chair that was empty a few seconds ago.

This man looked very young, but his temperament and eyes were far from the clear stupidity or high spirits that matched his age, but revealed an indescribable majesty and gloom.

The officer instinctively wanted to call someone, and then he felt an invisible hand pinching his neck, not to mention speaking, he couldn't even breathe.

Psychic ability, the soul has it.

Therefore, Priest Luo is actually a three-series supernatural professional, a life mage, a psychic warrior, and an earth shaman.

"Crack!" The officer's left little finger was completely crushed and pressed into a pulp.

"Hmm..." The officer's body twitched in pain, and urine could not help but flow out, soaking his pants, but he tried his best, and the roar he made was only at the level of a light groan, and it could not be heard in the room at all.

Priest Luo looked at the other party expressionlessly, and when his consciousness recovered a little from the severe pain, he crushed his left ring finger, then the middle finger, then the index finger, and finally the thumb.

No questions asked, just torture.

After all the fingers on his left hand were disabled, Priest Luo said gently: "I am not only a messenger who came to deliver the letter day and night, but also a high-level wizard.

I firmly believe that you have information that I am interested in. Of course, it is not the "unacceptable reception".

I advise you not to play tricks. After all, if you can't satisfy me, I will not only crush you into pulp inch by inch, but also use your soul as wax material.

If you still can't calm down, then not only you, but also your relatives will suffer. I guarantee that they will regret coming to this world at that time."

The officer was in tears and collapsed in his own excrement. He was in a mess. His consciousness was close to the edge of collapse, but the only remaining rationality and survival instinct, as well as the huge pressure like a mountain, made him force himself to tell some things that Priest Luo was interested in intermittently.

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was more than six o'clock in the morning. The moon had set, the stars were dim, and it was the darkest moment before dawn.

A group of people led horses to the south gate of Ande Town. Facing the silent opening of the heavy gate, the leader of the group made a gesture, and then a group of people skillfully mounted the war horses with cloth wrapped on their hooves.

The leader made a powerful attack gesture, and then began to ride the horses. The people behind him also let go of the reins and whipped, so the dull hoof sound like a drum soon broke the silence.

Without the interception of crossbows and muskets, the cavalry rushed through the town gate unimpeded.

However, about fifty meters behind the town gate, on a high-backed stone chair, there was a man sitting on a horse with a golden sword, leaning on the armrest with his elbow and his cheek with his fist.

When the hoof sound approached, he opened his sleepy eyes, and suddenly a golden light shone out.

This person was Pastor Luo.

At this moment, a cruel smile appeared on his face.

The leader of the cavalry who rushed into Ande Town naturally saw Pastor Luo at this time, and realized that he and his party might have been tricked.

But now he had no more choices, he could only go forward.

So he rode his horse with all his strength, shouting loudly, hoping to trample Priest Luo under his horse's hooves.

Priest Luo's response was to just wave the hand that was not used to hold his cheek straight, as if he was shooing away an annoying fly.

So, the earth pit arranged in advance was activated, and the long conical crack of nearly 300 meters was almost as wide as the inner distance of the town gate, and the depth was more than 10 meters!

It was not the earth that cracked, but the brittle shell that shattered. The solid soil that was hard and heavy in the last second became as brittle as thin ice in the next second. The entire invading cavalry fell, and no one escaped.

There were some who reacted quickly, such as the leader, who tried his best, stepped on the mount at the critical moment, jumped up, swung his sword in the air, and chopped Priest Luo.

‘Crack! ’ Four golden sharp rays shot out, cutting off the leader's limbs from the elbows to the knees in the air.

‘Plop! 'The leader fell heavily to the ground.

'Swish! Dudu...' The golden light swirled and cut deeply into the floor near the seat, revealing the body of the wave blade stone.

Priest Luo calmly raised his hand to the leader, picked it up from the air, and then placed it on the newly formed sharp stalagmite, the kind that was inserted from the lower body. By the way, he also helped him stop bleeding.

Human pig, piercing, slow, torture.

After appreciating the work, Priest Luo stood up, and the seat and even the wave blade disc immediately turned into sand.

'Bang!' A muffled sound, a ball of orange fire came at lightning speed.

It was a fire gun + special bullet.

Priest Luo responded to this surprise attack very calmly. Suddenly, there was a shield made of sand and dust in the air in front of him, as if it had always been there, but only appeared at this moment.

The special bullet exploded into a large ball of flames on the sand shield, and the effect was comparable to that of a Molotov cocktail.

In the flames, a human figure appeared and then launched an attack.

It used the burning flames as an anchor point to move.

It could be called a magical variant of the grappling hook gun.

Its attack also relied on the flames, which fluttered like a flag and then condensed into a line.

High-temperature flame slash!

Priest Luo followed the cutting force of this blow and spewed out a large amount of fire ash and lava.

This is the power of high-speed flowing materials to withstand and break up high-temperature flames.

In other words, the offense and defense were concentrated, while the defenders were dispersed. In terms of speed and efficiency, Priest Luo was clearly superior, and most of his strike power was destroyed in an instant.

At this time, the attacker still had a back-up move, so his movements were coherent. After slashing diagonally with the flame knife, he turned around and the remaining flames in his hands transformed into explosive eyeballs.

‘Boom! 'Black smoke billowed, fire clouds rolled, and amidst the huge explosion, the attacker took advantage of the situation and flew into the air. Behind Priest Luo, wrinkles of sand and dust appeared, like a translucent sponge cushion that folded to a certain extent under pressure. .

With this explosion, the attacker only accomplished half of the goal and distanced himself from Priest Luo, but still failed to break Priest Luo's defense. Even the goal of delaying Priest Luo's ability to move was far from being achieved. As a result, he would be in danger while in the air.

Sure enough, the next moment, a big hand made of sand and dust appeared in the sky.

‘Bah! ’ The attacker was like a billiard ball under pressure, changing its previous trajectory and shooting diagonally towards the ground.

And when he touched the ground, the ground seemed to turn into water, and with a 'boom' sound, an effect similar to high platform diving appeared.

The attacker naturally does not want to be buried deep in the soil, so he can only squeeze himself again and explode with power.

'boom! 'Like a 150MM caliber heavy artillery explosion, a big crater was blown out. The attacker broke through the shackles of the sand, but before he could stand still, Shachen's giant fist had already hit him. The face of the fist was taller than the other person and wider than his body, and it directly hit him. Flying, hitting people is like a hanging painting, half embedded in the town wall of Ande Town.

At this time, the attacker was completely disabled. His bones were shattered, his internal organs were injured, and he vomited blood. He looked quite miserable.

But he still tried his best to activate the magic pendant on his body, and vaguely revealed his identity: "I am a registered mage of the Spire of Order!"

Priest Luo smiled and waved his hand, and the surrounding area became dusty.

He knew that this gameplay was similar to the self-redemption of warring nobles. The current one just added some extraordinary bells and whistles to better prove his own value and require the other party to follow the rules of the circle.

Of course, no problem. The opponent is at least an elite battle mage, and the ransom will not be less than ten sets of standard knight armor, or three sets of magic armor.

Moreover, the extraordinary objects on the opponent's body, such as storage bags, magic accessories, etc., are also Priest Luo's trophies. However, the other party has the first right of redemption.

With such a commotion, many people in Ander Town were naturally alerted. The guards gathered over, including two knights, but they did not step forward rashly.

Master, the situation is not only dangerous, but also sensitive. No matter what the reason is, it is best to wait until the dust has completely settled before trying to connect.

After all, the Master is a special talent and is really superior to others. In the past history, it is not uncommon for the Master to cause trouble and bring disaster to the fish in the pond. It is not uncommon for the Master to die in vain. At most, it's just a matter of the lord paying a pension on his behalf.

So people have learned well. Even if they have responsibilities and need to be present, they should eat for a while instead of forcing themselves on.

"Whoever is in charge, please come forward." After finishing his work, Priest Luo began to deal with the funeral affairs.

The two knights, one after the other, strode closer, accompanied by the guards' torch lighting.

"More than a hundred night raiders were trapped in the cracks in the earth. They all came up. The alive ones were detained and the dead ones were left with their heads. The equipment and the injured and dead mounts are the reward for the work. Organize people to do it. I am in a hurry. Time won’t wait long.”…
