Lord Witch, please don't resurrect me again!

At this time, Odlo of the Warriors shouted excitedly: "Okay, sailing on dry land! Then we can transport the cannons over, bombard them with cannons, bombard them!"

Fuck, carrying cannons and sailing on dry land, the composition of our Northern Expeditionary Army is also very complicated!

Afterwards, the rest of the flagships sailed into the "Triangle River" in the same way, and what Leoric had to do next was very simple.

All the way south!Surprise attack on Green Lake Port, and then use the port as a springboard to attack Bachelor City!

……

Three days later, Green Lake Harbor——

Green Lake Port is a relatively important port in the "Scholar's Territory". The port is located in the largest inland lake in the swamp, and it is also connected to the important waterway of the Sanqu River.The river runs from west to east, from the Voodoo Mountains in the west to the Green Lake in the east. It is an important water highway. The natives in the Voodoo Mountains, the merchants of the swamp orcs, and the merchants from the north and south will all come along this river. Trade with Bachelor City, so Green Lake Port has also formed a prosperous port town.

Green Lake Port belongs to Nicholas's private territory, and a governor named "Camle" was set up, but generally people don't call him by his name, but call him "Fatfish" or "Fatfish" Governor.This person had studied in the merchant guild of the Jagbo family. He didn't know how much business ability he had learned, but he did learn the fatness of Duke Jagbo.In addition, what he spit out from his mouth looks like fish, so it is named "fat fish".

Fat fish is very comfortable here. On the one hand, the port is rich, and the governor is a fat job, so he naturally earns a lot of money; ” status, which makes him popular in both business circles and academic circles.The city of bachelors does not pay attention to blood, but pays attention to "academic background", so the status of a bachelor is equivalent to aristocrats.

Fat Yu also has a deputy named "Loach" - not a nickname, but a name.As the name suggests, this person is covered in black and has a small nose and small eyes, and his face is always greasy, which is very disgusting.But loach also has advantages, that is, this person is good at holding money, especially lending usury, he is definitely a good hand.When Fat Yu is short of money, Loach can always conjure up gold like magic, so Fat Yu is also willing to delegate power to him.The two of them worked hand in hand, and they were so happy here.

It's just that the happy days are likely to come to an end.

A few days ago, Duke Nicholas informed him that Leoric's Northern Expeditionary Army will pass through your port in about ten days.At that time, you have to resist with all your strength and delay the time for Leoric to come to Bachelor City.

Resist with all your strength?I will resist Ji Ba with all my strength!There are only 500 soldiers in the entire port, including my servants, mercenaries, and even militiamen, there are less than [-] people, and there is no danger in the city.What am I going to do against Leoric who defeated the barbarian king?

So as soon as Fat Yu and Loach got together, they quickly ran away, and at this time Fat Yu was packing his luggage.He directed the clumsy house slaves and said, "Didn't you fucking eat? Hurry up, hurry up! The car will be closed as soon as this bag of silver is filled, and the cars behind are still waiting!"

A rich family is no different than an ordinary family. If they are poor, they only need to lead their children, bring some rations, and take some rags when they move; Put on straw sandals and straw hats. In short, the poor have nothing to live on, and moving is easy.However, although Fat Yu is not as rich as Jia Gebo, he is still a rich man in this area.

There are two caravans for the clothes of himself and his female relatives, and another caravan of gold, silver and jewelry, and he also likes to collect all kinds of treasures of Haidnis, such as telescopes, pocket watches, pipes, exquisite compasses, action figures, Enchanted magic scissors, insect repellent lanterns...

What's worse, this guy is still a miser, and he doesn't want to lose anything.So all kinds of sundries, furniture, large pieces of porcelain, etc., were loaded into another car.

In the end, he had seven sons, eight daughters, and five wives, who would have been crammed into one caravan, but it was too stuffy in the heat, and they had to travel in two more cars.

There are also all kinds of daily necessities, mattress mats, all kinds of imaginable and unexpected things, and a small car is needed.

Then there were thirty or so accompanying servants who also had their belongings, and together they needed a small cart.

There is still a car to carry all kinds of food, fresh water, etc...

There are ten cars in total, lined up in a row, and they have been loaded since last night, and they haven't been finished until this morning.

Fat Yu was sweating profusely at this moment, and he wiped it with his sleeve, the greasy sweat left a black mark on the blue sleeve.The underwear is also soaked, smelly and stuffy in this hot day, and my crotch and armpits are itchy unbearably.He cursed loudly: "Loach! Loach! Where did you go, loach—!"

"Yes, my lord!" The little black and thin man hurried over.

Governor Fat Yu scolded: "Where the hell did you go, why don't you come and help me load the car?"

His staff officer—or in this style of painting, it may be easier to understand the name "Master"—then, this black and thin master named "Loach" is bent over at this time, with a face full of Dui laughed and said: "My lord, you see that I am so thin that I have no strength, even if I can't even hold a plague chicken, I can't help you when I come, so I might as well go and reconcile the account with you."

The bills and other transaction materials of the dock must be taken away. This thing is equivalent to the life of the governor of the dock, and it is also the best proof of identity. Leoric succeeded in capturing the flag, so he can show his sincerity to Leoric. In short, the king of flowing water, the iron-clad governor!What does it have to do with Fat Yu being the governor of the city to change the king's flag?I and Loach have very good legs and feet. Kneeling to the Lord is kneeling, and kneeling to the general is also kneeling. As long as we can make money, we will naturally not shudder.

Fat Yu asked: "Reconciliation is good, but why didn't you send your own servant to help me? I remember you have many slaves, right?"

In fact, Nixie's servants have all gone to help Nixie clean up the family's property. Although Niqiu is not as fat as Fat Fish, he has not lost his catch these years. His small house by the lake is full of gold and silver treasures. Apart from this, he is also a privately engaged in arms business, and his family has collected a lot of armor and swords.

Niach said with a smile on his face: "My lord, what kind of slaves can I have? I am your slave, how can a slave have a slave? Are you right?"

Loach does not have a trace of plateau blood in him, he is a pure swamp person, while Fat Fish is a plateau person.From a racist perspective, these dark, skinny guys with no structure in their brains are, indeed, born slaves.

Fat Yu was not as knowledgeable as he was, so he said, "Forget it, you can hire a few people to help..." Before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden "crack!" next to him.Fat Yu's expression was startled immediately, his lips grinned like a fish, forming a sinister line, he gritted his teeth and said, "Who is it!"

Fat Yu shook his head and saw porcelain shards all over the place, and a servant knelt on the ground trembling.Fat Yu yelled "Ah!", and then stretched out his hand to the right. Niach knew what it meant when he saw his action, so he immediately handed over a hard whip.

Master Fat Fish flicked his whip in the air, and the servant hurriedly shouted for mercy.Fat Yu said angrily: "Excuse me? You should take off your clothes. If you break your clothes, I will buy new ones! This is another sum of money, so take off quickly!"

The servant had no choice but to take off his shirt, revealing a dark back full of welt scars.Fat Fish stepped on the bench with one foot, and beat the servant crazily with the whip in the other hand, cursing while beating, and said: "You smashed my vase, which is equivalent to throwing my gold coins into the Green Lake! It hurts to stab me! You say, you, a lowly servant, just stabbed me, and now I just whip you. Am I very kind? Am I, am I not!"

The servant was beaten to pieces with the whip, but he could only cry: "Yes, yes, the master beat you well! You beat him well! Your Excellency Governor is so merciful, so merciful!"

The weather was hot, and Fat Fish soon became tired. He threw down his whip, took off his shirt, gave him his belt, and said, "I'll go to the house to enjoy the shade, Niach, and you can handle the rest."

"Yes, sir."

Fat Yu returned to his Governor's Mansion after speaking. Most of the furniture in the Governor's Mansion had been moved out, and the room was empty, showing signs of depression at this time.Fat Yu was born into a rich merchant family when he was a child, but later his family was run down and suffered from poverty for a long time, so he was extremely afraid of the taste of poverty. Looking at this "poor and sour" mansion, Fat Yu couldn't help feeling fear in his heart.At this time, he comforted himself and said, it’s okay, after the war, the wharf will definitely usher in a new prosperous trade, by then I will be richer than now, and this “little house” will be even more magnificent.

At this time, the north wind was blowing, and it was cool under the window, and Fat Fish fell asleep leaning on the last reclining chair.He dreamed that he lived in the palace, served by a thousand slaves, and used gold for food and clothing. He also dreamed of a big ship coming from the north... huh?Boat?He tried his best to open his eyes and look at the ship. It was a mighty black warship, but the flag could not be seen when sailing in the fog. Fat Fish thought: Is that a pirate ship?Why is the pirate ship in my green water bay?Then, a great fear spread in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly woke up from his dream, and he heard the loach shouting loudly: "My lord, it's bad! Leoric is here! Let's go!"

Leoric?Hearing that name, Fat Yu felt dizzy as soon as he started to do it, cold sweat protruded from his back, and he was dizzy for a while.Fat Fish supported the chair so that he would not fall down. He took a few deep breaths and said, "Didn't he say that Leoric would not be here for at least ten days? It's only been a few days? Damn Nicholas, And Leoric the dog!" Fat Fish scolded through gritted teeth.

Fat Fish grabbed Loach's arm and asked, "Tell me, how far is Leoric from us?"

"It's at the door of the house!" Loach said.

What?doorstep?Then how do my caravans run?If the caravan can't get away, then my money can't get away!What's the point of living if the money is gone?No way, no way!

Fat Yu's brain was running fast, and he said, "There is a way!"

Loach quickly asked: "What is the governor's opinion?"

"Well, let's escape by water! Leoric is an army, so there's nothing we can do about it!"

Hearing this, NiQiu said in a crying voice: "My lord! Leoric came here by water! Go out and have a look, the fleet of the Northern Expeditionary Army has already arrived in the lake!"

"what!?"

Fat Yu rushed out of the gate, and as soon as he went out, he saw people gathered around the port of Green Lake and pointed at the distance.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" Fat Yu angrily parted from the crowd and came to the lake. When he saw the scene in front of him, he entered in an instant - he has been the governor here for ten years, and he has seen many fleets , but no fleet can give him such a shock like this.

The leading ship was flying the black flag of the Northern Expedition Army. Judging from the specifications, it was definitely at the flagship level. It seemed to be bigger than the frigate "Golden Guard" he had seen at Jagober's house.The boat broke through the waves, and the rolled up water sprayed out huge ripples, and then the foamy water spread to half of the lake.

The boat was full of soldiers of the Northern Expedition with real swords and guns, and there were many fairy flower fairies flying on both sides. The most frightening thing was that there seemed to be a giant beast in the lake to open the way ahead. The dorsal fin of this giant beast was like a shark. It was exposed on the water, dividing the huge green lake into two halves.

What the fuck is going on?Why did Leoric come here?This is impossible!Didn't the intelligence say that he was in the Jinsha River?

Governor Fat Fish is in charge of the water transport business, so he is naturally familiar with the hydrology of this area, and he can almost write the entire map of this land silently.He knew that all the water in Lushui Lake came from the Sanqu River, but the Jinsha River and the Sanqu River where Leoric was located didn't have any waterways!How did he get such a big boat from the Jinsha River to the Sanqu River?Did he already have a boat on the upper reaches of the Sanqu River?This is impossible!The Sanqu River is an inland river, and there is no big shipyard in it. Have you never heard of such a big ship in this river?

Damn it, Nicholas the bastard lied to me?

Otherwise, why would Leoric's ship appear here?Could his ship fly?

Chapter 170 Eight: You owe a debt to the people

At this moment, someone shouted: "The Northern Expeditionary Army is here, run!" Then the crowd of onlookers fell into chaos.

No matter if it was common people, noble merchants, knights or mercenaries, they all ran out of the port yelling.People scrambled to run out, and some people were stepped on by ten thousand feet immediately after falling, and some people rushed into the mud, and then fell on their backs.The sounds of people roaring, horses neighing, and running were intertwined. At this moment, the entire Green Lake Port was in chaos.

Fat Yu and Niqiu were also terrified, and Niqiu grabbed Fat Yu's sleeve and begged, "My lord, let's run too!"

Fat Yu looked bitterly, looked at his ten carts of belongings, and said, "Run? I ran away, what should I do with these things?"

Loach quickly said: "Save your life first, my lord! If you lose money, you can earn money, but if you lose people, you will be lost!"

"Okay! Run, run! But I'm going to run with my stuff! Team, don't pretend, let's go!"

So the foreman cracked his whip, and the convoy began to move slowly.However, this speed is slower than crawling, let alone running.The loach was in a hurry and said, "How do you run away? Let's go on horseback!"

Fat Fish looked around in a panic, and said, "No, no! I saw horses on Leoric's boat. How could our short-legged horses outrun Leoric's barbarian warhorses?"

At the same time, I heard a silver-armored general on board shouting: "The descendants will not be killed!" At the same time, many flower fairies also flew over and said loudly in plateau language: "General Leoric will not harm civilians. We will not embarrass the soldiers who surrendered! Put down your weapons and stop resisting! Meet the Northern Expedition!"

Hearing this, Niach immediately said, "It's better to surrender than to run away!"

"But if I surrender, my money will be gone!"

Loach shouted: "But you can't run away!"

Fat Fish roared: "I would rather die than hand over the money!" Then he waved his whip and said, "Hurry up, you lazy pigs!" It is like a mindless animal that rides along with the cart.

At this time, the big ship docked and began to load and unload cargo. Green Water Port is the largest lake port in the swamp, which can accommodate this huge fleet. At the same time, Leoric and a group of officers also got off the ship.Due to the previous persuasion to surrender, many people raised their hands and surrendered, including both civilians and civilians inside.Leoric said loudly: "Don't worry, everyone! The Northern Expeditionary Army is here to rescue you, not to burn, kill, loot and loot! The Northern Expeditionary Army will not collect food here, nor will it take away every needle and thread from the masses... Then he said to Philip next to him: "You go to camp first, and Shia and I will calm down the emotions of the local people first."

Green Lake Port will be Leoric's garrison point for the next few days, as well as an important transportation hub. He is determined to manage this place well, so he decided to put more effort into it.

"Yes, General."

At this time, Shia on the other side also said: "We won't extort money like the previous army and bully men and women. Even if we need something, we will pay for it! Now we need ten clean white cloths, and Whoever can bring the two boxes of rivets immediately, we will give him fifty gold coins, fifty!" He held up a bag of gold coins to show everyone.

Shia doesn't really need these things. In fact, it's "a horse's bone with a thousand dollars of gold", gaining the trust of the people through a successful transaction, and avoiding subsequent misunderstandings and conflicts.

Fifty gold coins is not a small number, and soon some merchants will get these things.Several people carefully carried the boxes over, and the leader was an old nun wearing a monk's robe, and said, "On behalf of the church, I will donate these supplies to the Northern Expeditionary Army, so there is no need to give me gold."

Shia said: "We are all honest people who keep our word. If we take your things for nothing, wouldn't that break this rule? You have to collect money, otherwise these things will not be taken away."

Hearing this, the old nanny accepted it with great gratitude.Shia said, "Open up a little bit, isn't it fifty?"

The nanny quickly said, "No need, no need!"

Shia smiled and said, "Let's order a little, and make it clear in front of everyone, so as not to cause misunderstandings in the future."

"Okay, okay." The nanny was very good at reading faces, and immediately understood what Shia meant, and took out the gold coins one by one and counted them.After a while, fifty gold coins were placed all over the ground. The gold coins shone golden in the sun, which made people's eyes burn and their hearts itch.

Mammy said, "Fifty, all of which are heavy gold! The color is also very good!"

"then you go."

"Thank you, my lord!" After saying this, he bowed and took the money and left.

Everyone saw that the Northern Expeditionary Army was indeed a man who kept his word, so everyone was relieved, and no one wanted to escape anymore.

At this time Leoric asked: "Okay, tell me, where is your governor, or the mayor?"

The loach hurried up, pointed with his finger, and said, "It's right there!"

Leoric looked at the place he was pointing at, and sure enough, he saw the convoy moving slowly like a snail, and said, "Grovin, go and catch them back."

Growen shouted: "Obey!" Then he led a few knights and ran towards the convoy.

Fat Yu's convoy also had some guards, about 20 people, but these people didn't dare to resist when they saw the cavalry of the Northern Expedition Army, let alone fight, they didn't even dare to draw their swords. Che Bang, who was sticking to the caravan, looked at a loss, like a hamster cornered.Fat Fish was frightened and angry, and jumped up and scolded: "You pigs! Why don't you fight! What did I hire you for? Didn't I brag that I was the most powerful mercenary? You, you..." At this time Growin appeared In front of Fat Yu, when he saw the knight on the tall horse, he immediately fell silent in fright, and then said with a smile on his face: "General, I send my greetings to you! I, I... bless you! I wish you invincibility, I wish you the best! You come and go safely, I wish you... Ah, me, you are not here to expropriate my property, are you?"

Growin pointed behind with his thumb and said, "Don't talk nonsense, go back!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

In this way, the convoy that had just left drove back intact.

Leoric was sitting under the parasol to enjoy the shade at this time, he looked at the motorcade slowly approaching in front of him, and said, "Oh, it really is the governor, he is so rich!"

Governor Fat Yu hurriedly said: "Where, where! My lord is joking. I don't have any money, and this is just...uh, rubbish."

"Trash?" Leoric stood up and walked towards him, Fat Yu immediately lowered his head and closed his eyes in fright, but Leoric brushed past him and ignored the fat man.At this time, Fat Fish looked back, and saw Leoric took out a pipe from his caravan, nodded, and praised: "This thing is good, it is well-made, and it has a unique shape. I can't even use it!"

When Fat Yu heard this, it was as if he had caught a life-saving straw, and quickly said: "If you like it, my lord, then give it to my lord!"

"Oh, you want to dedicate this to me?" Leoric smiled and put it back on the car. "Just give me a small pipe?"

Fat Yu had a face full of smiles, and at the same time, cold sweat was pouring from his forehead, he said falteringly: "Uh, I still have a box of silver coins, a bag of gold coins, and some handicrafts here. , take whatever you want!"

Leoric laughed loudly after hearing this, and said, "The last time I saw someone like you was in Jagober's Haiyan City!"

"My lord... what do you mean?"

"Duke Jagober was just like you, trying to please me with my wealth! Do you think you are the same as him?"

Fat Yu tasted the taste of these words, and immediately exclaimed: "No, my lord, spare me!"

"I don't want your life, I just want your ill-gotten gains." Leoric said with a smile.

Fat Yu started to cry, thinking: If you rob me of my money, wouldn't that just kill me?Thinking of this, Fat Yu couldn't help feeling determined to die, and said, "Master Leoric, I have something to say!"

Leoric nodded, "What?"

"Citizens of Lushui Port, listen too!" He said loudly, "The Northern Expedition Army claimed to be an army of benevolence and righteousness. Why did they do such a thing as soon as they came to Lushui Port? Did I break the law? I Have you ever resisted them? I just want to leave here with my family and property! However, Lord Leoric refused to let me go, and even confiscated my property. This is undoubtedly... an act of robbery!" Greed for money made Fat Yu pluck up the courage, he gritted his teeth and said four words.As soon as this remark came out, many citizens present gasped and fell silent.Firstly, they were surprised by the fat fish's courage, and secondly, the word "robber" was too harsh. If Leoric was really a robber, then all of them would suffer.

Fat Yu kidnapped Minyi, used it as a talisman, and said loudly: "If you do such a thing, I'm afraid it will shame you and the Northern Expeditionary Army. Please think twice, three or four!"

Unexpectedly, Loach rushed forward and gave Fat Yu a slap in the face, "Crack!" and said, "Don't apologize to Lord Leoric yet! If you offend him..." While talking Performed a beheading action.

Fat Yu covered his face and said, "No! He is a robber!"

"Damn, aren't you afraid of him massacring the city, you lunatic!"

"Death is death! Even death can't take away my money."

The two quarreled, and at the same time Growin whispered to Leoric: "Hey, General, I don't think it's necessary to waste time with them, we'll just kill them and bring them down! Robbers are robbers, that's what the army is all about." .”

Leoric shook his head and said: "It is indeed very common for the military to confiscate property by force, but every time it does so, it will actually lose popular support and harm the interests of civilians. Now I have a more dignified way to take his money away. Why use a way to lose your reputation?"

Growin asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I'm reasonable," Leoric said.
