Lord: Exiled by Stepmother, I'll Rule the World Anyway

The huge sound of the wooden door being kicked open echoed far away in the gray fog, immediately breaking the dead silence of the city wall, and the surrounding corpses let out strange wails. Seeing the skull symbols that were quickly gathering on the mini-map and the vague roar in his ears, Field couldn't help but sweat.

Before the rotting corpse in the house could attack, Ashina held a long knife and slashed at its neck. Blood arrows shot against the wall, causing a black and purple blood light to appear in the entire house.

Another carrion immediately pounced on it, tearing off its entire cheek and grinning all the way to the base of its ears. If it were bitten by this creature, it would definitely lose a large piece of flesh.

However, Asuna just dodged lightly and flipped the long knife over at the same time.

Under the blessing of the terrifying power, half of the rotten corpse's head disappeared, and dirty blood gurgled out from the gap, and soon a pool of blood formed.

"Roar!"

Hearing the sound of fighting, a group of corrupted soldiers suddenly poured out of the passage. They rolled their eyes in disgust and crowded out of the passage.

The slaves kept waving farm tools in their hands, but no one dared to step forward.

The monster alone is scary enough, and it's also wearing heavy armor.

"Fuck, how many people are infected?" Field cursed secretly.

"flame!"

Ashina released the dragon wolf, and its huge wolf body almost blocked the entire passage.

Dots of magical energy gathered quickly, like a galactic river rushing in. The dragon wolf opened its mouth and spurted out a large ball of blue flames. The corpses in the passage were immediately swallowed by the flames, and only a few struggling and twisted outlines could be seen.

"What a terrifying power."

The slaves were originally debating whether to escape or fight, but unexpectedly the sudden battle ended in the blink of an eye. A few people only saw the devoured figures, while the rest could only stare at the ashes on the ground.

"Is this the power of the Chosen One? It's a pity that the loot was also burned." Field swelled. It was time to be bolder. "Everyone tried their best to make noise and attract the nearby rotting corpses to eliminate them."

After listening to Field's words, the slaves started knocking and smashing in unison, allowing Asuna and her dragon-blooded wolves to destroy the gathering corpses.

Soon, Field strangled all the monsters near the barracks, which also gave Field a better understanding of the Chosen One.

"Now, let's look for something valuable." Field showed a greedy smile, "Especially ordnance and gold coins."

As soon as the slaves were dispersed, some slaves ran over happily and shouted excitedly.

"Sir, we found survivors!"

"Ah?" Field didn't look happy, but looked around with complicated eyes.

"Ashina, take your wolf back, now is not the time to reveal your strength."

Without enough time to develop, revealing that you have the Chosen One is just asking for death.

His stepmother will definitely send someone to assassinate him, and then let Asuna change her master.

Being exposed to slaves is not a big deal. They have always been under his nose, and he can send them all to the west with just a thought.

Field pondered: "The survivors may know where important supplies are."

The survivors hid in a bunker in the city wall. Because the door had been sprinkled with purifying potion, it could barely withstand the gray fog for a while. Only when they heard the voices of living people did they dare to open the door.

"Thanks to the Valkyrie, I thought it would last a week, and by then we would have to eat each other's excrement to survive." The bearded officer made a disgusting joke, and after adjusting his clothes, he smiled at Field, "Well, I guess Guess, you are a new knight? I will definitely report your achievements to the Bull Baron."

"You're welcome, it's just a little effort."

Field tilted his head, trying to see what was in the bunker, but was blocked by two soldiers.

The ten soldiers under the bearded officer were all inside the bunker.

"Where are your retinues?" The officer glanced at Field's slave soldiers. He didn't pay attention to these guys holding farm tools at all.

Field shrugged: "I'm not a knight, I'm Baron Field."

"Oh? Baron Field, that guy who doesn't even have a guard. When you sent people to donate money before, they mentioned your name." The bearded expression became more and more weird. After his expression changed several times, he made a look at his subordinates. He signaled and said with a half-smile, "Lord Baron, I have long heard that you are kind-hearted. I wonder if you can do us a favor."

This tone is wrong.

The original owner was indeed very kind. Field raised his eyebrows and pretended to be stupid: "Tell me about it."

"We drank too much and forgot to light the fog lights, allowing the fog to pour into the barracks. Therefore, we lost control of the barracks. This is a big trouble. The Bull Baron is extremely cruel, and we will definitely be executed."

Can I listen to this for free?

"So..." Field showed a playful expression, "You want to defect to me?"

"Hahaha!" The soldiers laughed loudly and clenched their weapons. "We are going to run away! But it will require all the savings of a nobleman. In addition, if we kill you, no one will know our existence in a short time."

"Is this how you treat your benefactor?"

Field was very angry, even though his original plan was to collect survivors and find supplies. He wouldn't mind killing all the survivors if they didn't cooperate, but it was still annoying to be provoked by them.

The bearded man said nonchalantly: "If we didn't have fog lights, we would have been killed long ago, and you are nothing!"

Field chuckled.

"Why are you laughing?" The bearded man raised his saber. Seeing Field's calm face, he suddenly became confused.

"Actually, I originally wanted to raid this place, but now is the time. If I kill you all, there will be no witnesses. Ashena, do it!"

The soldier next to the bearded man immediately jumped up, grabbed the short knife in his hand and stabbed straight at him.

Between the lightning and flint, a blue figure flashed past, and the soldier's arm was pulled away like a grasshopper's leg, without any resistance.

"Clang!"

The air seemed to freeze until the dagger fell to the ground. The soldier fell to the ground in horror, holding his broken arm with blood gushing out, and let out a miserable wail.

"My arm! My arm!"

The giant blue wolf blocked the entire passage, and its armor-covered body was as intimidating as a tank.

"Monster!" The soldiers were frightened by the sudden monster.

"What the hell? Didn't you say that Baron Field has no foundation and is a complete waste?" The bearded officer was dumbfounded. He wanted to arrest the person who spread the rumors and skin him to pieces.

"Ashina, turn them all into cripples." Field licked the corner of his mouth. The original owner was a good person, but what does it have to do with him? "Slaves, give you a chance to practice your courage! If you kill one person, you will be rewarded with a silver coin."
