Lord of the people, I became the Skeleton King

She knew what decision to make.

Kelly slowly bent her knees, knelt on the ground with her palms crossed and overlapped on her forehead, and kowtowed heavily.

"I, Kelly, would like to join the king's territory, share the king's worries, and get the king's protection!" Kelly shouted loudly, slamming every word.

The women and children in the back, seeing that Kelly had made a decision, immediately knelt down together and shouted, "I... would like to join the king's territory, relieve the king's worries, and get the king's protection!"

[Congratulations to the lord Hegu, the number of people in the territory has increased by nine people]

[Subjects cannot attack the lord and act maliciously against the lord]

[Subjects can only leave their status as territorial citizens after fleeing the territory for three days]

……

"Everyone, get up, this is the first time, I forgive you, but you are not allowed to kneel again! I protect you, give you food, and you take on the task of building the territory and pay your labor. That's all."

"I don't need your groveling."

They knelt down on the ground, looking happy for the rest of their lives, which caused He Gu's feelings to fluctuate a little.

He suddenly felt that he seemed to have done something extraordinary.

But soon, he shook his head, letting the strange feeling out of his body.

I didn't do such a noble act, I just needed their fireworks.

Everyone benefits from each other, that's all.

"I don't have any feelings..." He Gu thought so.

But he himself may not have noticed that the seeds of something fell into his heart, waiting for the opportunity to take root and germinate.

Kelly was the first to stand up, her eyes were shining, not tears, but the light of hope.

Lord who won't let you kneel...

"Same as father." Kelly murmured in a low voice.

……

He Gu re-summoned the gray bone skeletons and let them spread around to protect them.

Although He Gu had explained to them that the skeleton soldiers would not attack He Gu's people, they were obviously still not used to the feeling of being surrounded by skeletons, and they always felt trapped.

But it's okay.

They will get used to it later.

No matter what, Lord Hegu and his people, enjoying the heavy protection of the ashes and skeletons, set off for home.

There is no danger along the way. The snakes, insects and beasts hidden in the dark forest have their unique survival wisdom. They know not to provoke the undead. , They are not very willing to enter the gambling game where there is no life if you lose, and you lose both.

After walking into his own territory, He Gu waved his hand and collected all the ashes and skeletons into the skeleton space, and there is no need for them here.

Kelly and her party are already He Gu's subjects. As soon as they stepped into this quiet land, they got a piece of news in their minds at the same time.

This is the territory of Lord Hegu, which is called: Old Land.

For three days, the territory will be under protection.

A look of joy appeared on everyone's face at the same time, and even the three children were in high spirits.

They didn't dare to exclaim loudly, after all, their king was still walking ahead, but one by one, they couldn't restrain the joy in their hearts, and started talking in low voices.

An absolutely safe place!

Since their territory was coveted by the half-orc tribe, they have not had a day to live in peace, and they have to live in fear every day. Death and disability have become the main theme of life.

Until being surrounded by zombies attracted by the half-orc tribe, the village was completely destroyed...

Among the nine people who survived by chance, the father of the children, the husband of the woman, including Kelly's father, the lord of the territory, or, should he be called the village head of Kyle Village, all died in this crisis.

This group of women has been struggling to survive, constantly migrating, running, like hamsters running in wheels, wandering.

Now, it's safe...

The women were still talking eagerly at the beginning, and it was unknown who took the lead, and each of them began to sob softly, with big tears streaming down uncontrollably.

They used to live and beat them with whips, leaving them no time to think, but now they are suddenly safe, and memories of their loved ones can't stop flooding their hearts.

The little girl on Fuman's back was still a child after all, and she couldn't control herself like an adult. She deflated her mouth and started crying loudly, "Dad! Dad..."

The other two little boys also cried aloud when they were taken by her, imitating her example, and started calling daddy.

He Gu pretended not to hear, and continued to lead the way ahead. It is a good thing to be able to release his emotions. If he is afraid of holding back, he should not turn his head. He is afraid that when he turns his head, his skull face will scare the children from crying.

"Is this Zhi Xiaoer Ye Cry?" He Gu's non-existent brain jumped up.

Among the nine, eight were crying.

Who didn't cry?
Kelly.

She is still full of vitality, constantly shuttling through the crowd, hugging this girl, patting that child's head, saying a few words of thoughtfulness, comforting everyone, and gradually, everyone's emotions stabilized up.

And the destination has arrived.

Standing in front of the cabin, He Gu took out enough water and some fresh meat from the skeleton space.

This is a technique he just discovered. Put the materials on the skeletons and let them carry them, so that when they are retracted into the skeleton space, the materials will also go in. It is quite convenient, which is equivalent to an extra storage space. This system is not provided, and everyone else has to carry supplies.

"We haven't got any food today, so let's just eat some meat." He Gu said flatly.

Everyone: ...Human words?
When a group of women saw the meat in He Gu's hands, their eyes lit up green. It's been a long time since they ate meat!

Since being targeted by the orcs, the people in the village dare not go out of the range of the territory. Naturally, they can't hunt anymore, because there is a 50% combat power bonus in the territory, and they can still deal with those orcs. Go out, That would be death.

They haven't eaten meat since the village's livestock were eaten up.

Seeing the lord take out the meat, the group of women didn't need to be greeted, and they moved consciously.

A woman took the fresh meat from He Gu, took out a kitchen knife from her bag, put it on the ground with a piece of cloth, and began to cut into pieces.

The remaining women put the child on the ground, ran into the nearby grove to collect firewood, and cut some thicker branches from the tree to use as a grill.

The women in Kyle Village are all hardworking, and they work neatly.

Fuman fell in love with a tree, her legs clamped tightly to the trunk, and she climbed up in two or three strokes. Some wrist-thick branches were brittle by the sun, and she snapped off her arms as soon as she clamped them.

The children were not idle either, the two boys ran to help pick up dry firewood on the ground, while the little girl carefully took out a small ax from her bag and ran to Fuman, which is where her mother climbed. Under a tree, he began to chop with a humming sound.

Doesn't she know that when a tree falls, people will fall.
