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

After the incoming rotting corpses were cleared away, Rosalía threw out the Gluttony Sword and blew up the ceiling. Falling stone slabs fell down, blocking the entrance and exit.

"Get it done. This way, the rotten corpses won't be able to get in."

No longer entangled with the remaining corpses in the house, Rosalia blocked the entrances and exits of the city wall one by one.

After Tisifa recovered her fighting power, she and the Great Swordsman killed the rotting corpses layer by layer.

The battle lasted until night, and the two chosen gods almost died of exhaustion.

After coming down from the city wall, Rosalía kept burping, Tisi was dizzy and trembling all over, and reported the battle situation to Field.

"Thank you for your hard work, you are all my wings." Field was so moved that he quickly gave the two of them a shoulder squeeze, "Everyone, please go back and rest. I have given instructions to the servants in advance, and they have prepared hot water and food."

"It's nothing, hiccup~ The life energy is almost overflowing, but the physical strength and spirit are about to return to zero."

Rosaria waved her hands, her originally elegant and intellectual face now full of "wisdom."

Tisifa held her waist and said sluggishly: "Me too, it's about to overflow."

There are an astonishing number of rotting corpses in Starry Night City. According to known information, rotting corpses will grow out of the gray mist. If you clean them up too slowly, your work will be in vain.

"The entrances and exits of the southern city wall have been blocked. The next step is to use the water mill. After occupying the city wall, we can attack the low with high. The carrion can only fight the siege."

The next morning, Field personally observed the first execution of the Night Leader.

Anwei, who was tortured into a human shape, was paraded through the streets again and pushed to a temporary gallows built in the slave camp.

The slaves in the audience were so frightened that they did not dare to speak.

But after Tate recounted in detail the story of Anvi's attempt to cause a riot, the slaves began to whisper among themselves.

"I didn't expect this guy to riot."

"Yeah, you're too brave."

"I thought he was a good person before, and he even gave me half a piece of black bread. Was there a misunderstanding?"

The slaves said anything.

"According to our investigation, many slaves knew about Anwei's actions. But you new slaves all chose to hide it. No one reported it. As a punishment, your three meals will be reduced by half."

As soon as this statement came out, the slaves went crazy.

Naturally, they did not dare to have any objections to the lord, and directly vented their anger on Anwei on the stage.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Slaves who originally had their own opinions, after their own interests were harmed, they deeply experienced the pain and decisively unified their thoughts.

Tate, who was responsible for enforcing the criminal law, read out in a stern tone: "Slave Anvi was sentenced to death for endangering the lives of the people in the territory and maliciously infringing on the rights of the Baron. Do you have any opinion?"

The bruised and swollen Anvi was speechless. Although he tried to struggle and curse, he could only make inarticulate mumbles.

"If you don't speak, you have no opinion."

When Tate was in Maple Leaf City, he served as the warden and was very familiar with criminal law. He didn't give him any time to talk nonsense and directly put the rope around his neck.

Amid the curses of countless people, Anwei was hanged like bacon.

Before he died, there was only endless regret in his mind. He hated himself for being too reckless and regretted that he listened to Simon's bullshit.

Field stood aside and shook his head silently: "I don't know if this trick of sitting together is too much. After all, most slaves are good."

Tisifa put his fingers together and made a prayer: "Yes, sir, many people have suffered unreasonable disasters. This is just like what is said in the church's holy book: the flesh and blood of innocent people were killed by vultures..."

"No, you have to use cruel methods to deal with ignorant people."

Asuna's scarlet eyes were full of domineering, and she crossed her arms in front of her chest: "If we were in the wolf demi-human tribe, those who live in the same room as the rioters, as well as the blood relatives of the rioters, would be killed. Your Excellency is already very kindness."

"In troubled times, you should use heavy codes. It is true that you are right. However, in the future, it is best to curb the symptoms from the beginning."

He thought of many systems that could be improved. After writing them down, Field sighed: "There are still many things that need to be learned and mastered."

"Let's go, let's go to Starry Night City first and continue to recover the city wall today."

Field straightened his collar and put away his complicated thoughts. He tiptoed and climbed onto his horse.

At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves, and the person who came to report was a wolf demihuman cavalry.

The cavalryman dismounted and reported: "Sir, one of the slaves we were responsible for escorting fell into a strange place, like a monster's underground lair. We don't know whether he is alive or dead."

"Oh? What did you say?"

Last night, Silver Claw took the demi-human cavalry to escort the rioting slaves to work in the salt mines and establish an outpost.

"A slave went to relieve himself, but he stepped on the air and fell into a dark cave." The cavalryman made a big circle gesture. "We heard a terrifying whistling sound and a sound like a waterfall. It was very scary."

"A cave, there is such a place in the Night Territory."

According to the detailed map left by the Xingye family, there are no underground caves in the Night Territory.

Field thought for a moment and wanted to fill it in casually, but he realized that there were many secrets hidden in the Northern Province, so he said: "I know about this. You will be responsible for guiding the way later."

"Yes," the cavalryman shouted back.

"It would be nice to have treasures in the underground cave, but it's unlikely. What I'm most afraid of is the emergence of powerful underground monsters. If it digs into the Starry Night Winery, it will be a disaster. Or it may ambush us along the way, which will cause Big trouble."

Earth-burrowing monsters, such as Exploding Earth Bears, Sand Worms or Earth Dragons, are all powerful monsters.

Another possibility is that if the slave did not die after falling into the hole, but instead received some artifact inheritance, or if the old man passed on the skills and turned around to take revenge on himself, Field was not willing to accept it.

Even if this is possible, it would be funny to say it.

But the territory's construction has reached a critical moment, and Field is increasingly intolerant of potential threats.

"You lead the way, let's go to the cave first."

After ordering fifty soldiers, taking Ashina and Tisifa with him, Field set off immediately.

After walking along the road for a long time, we could already see the location of the salt mine. At this time, the wolf demihuman cavalry pointed at the newly erected notice board and reported: "Sir, that's the one. We are worried that someone will fall in again." , so warning signs were set up.”

The entrance to the underground cave is covered by dense decaying plants and tentacles. From the outside, it looks exactly the same as the plains.

Without reconnaissance methods, you would never have guessed that this was a cave.

"You did very well."

Nodding in approval, Field asked the soldiers to surround the cave and build simple defenses such as horse-repelling antlers.

"It's so dark that you can't see."
