I was a lord farming, how did I become an emperor?

Chapter 203 The Cowardly Lizardman
……

……

“I just chatted with that snow rabbit man Kyle for a bit, and he told me about the rules of human towns.”

The tall lynx-man Wright whispered to Nessa and Serica, "Those of value and ability will receive more."

"Therefore we must prove our capabilities to humanity."

Wright's eyes were resolute.

Nessa and Serica nodded, understanding why Wright had risked following them.

Having received Rein's permission, Kyle turned to Wright and the other Lynx people and said, "Lord Rein has granted you permission to join."

“He heard that you Lynx people are good at stealth and are more agile than us Snow Rabbit people in the mountains and forests, so he wants you to be the bait.”

"no problem!"

Wright responded confidently.

As the leader's wife, Nesha should have been in charge when Vika was away.

But she was more introverted and shy, so Wright took the initiative to step forward and take on everything.

"What kind of weapons do you need?" Kyle asked.

Wright answered without hesitation: "A short sword will do!"

Kyle reported Wright's reply to Ryan and then received seven daggers.

"They are not used to using short swords, only daggers."

Kyle said, "But it should be better than the rusty junk you have."

Having stayed in Frostleaf Town for a long time, Kyle began to feel a sense of superiority in front of the alien tribes.

"it is good!"

Wright had his tribesmen come forward and take the dagger.

"Tell your human leader that we'll lure the lizardmen here and have them lie in ambush!"

"Yeah, that's it."

Kyle nodded and took out a map.

After briefly explaining Raine and Gunle's plan and marking the approximate location, Wright led seven of his tribesmen into the woods.

"Ok?"

Gunle stared at the lynx-men's figures. "I didn't blink. How come they all disappeared as soon as they entered the forest?"

"That's their talent; as long as there's something to block their view, they can use it to hide."

Kyle said with a hint of envy.

Gunle picked up a fist-sized pebble from the ground. "Then this can also block the view. Can they use this to hide?"

Renn sighed, somewhat speechless.

Kyle shook his head seriously. "Even their ancestors in ancient times couldn't become invisible by using stones, but if they were far away, they could blend directly into the earth and become invisible to you."

"It's our ancestors again."

Gonle was somewhat skeptical; the ancestors described by the foreign tribes and savages were ridiculously powerful.

"What abilities did your ancestors possess?"

"The most powerful ancestor could split a mountain in two with a mere lift of his claws."

Kyle's face was full of admiration.

Gunle pursed his lips, about to speak, but was stopped by Renn.

"Alright, Lord Gunle, we should get down to business."

……

……

Nessa leaped down from the tree branch, her petite figure bumping into the lizardmen who were searching.

Nessa froze on the spot, while the lizardman suddenly realized what was happening.

"It's a Lynx-Man!"

A lizardman shouted and shot his spear directly at Nessa!

Nessa nimbly leaped behind a tree, narrowly dodging the flying spear.

"Help!"

Nessa, her face filled with terror, turned and ran!
"Don't let her go back and report!"

The scarred lizardman roared, and all the lizardmen erupted in a frenzy, surging towards Nessa like a tidal wave.

However, at that moment, Serica appeared from the right.

He peeked out from behind a big tree and whistled a few times.

Soon the lizardmen also discovered him.

"There's one more!"

"Chase him, don't let him get away!"

The group of lizardmen who had gathered together split up instantly and chased after Serica.

"There's some here too!"

"Look, there's another one!"

The scarred lizardman roared as he gave the order.

"Chase after them! We can't let any of them escape!"

In the blink of an eye, six or seven lynx-men appeared, and all of the scarred lizardman's men rushed out, leaving only a dozen or so.

"Chief, which one should we chase?" the scarred lizardman's lieutenant asked hurriedly.

"us……"

The scarred lizardman hesitated for a moment, then realized what was happening, his vertical pupils widening instantly.
"Oh no, they're trying to distract us!"

"Call them back!"

The scarred lizardman roared as he gave the order, but before his men could even set off, screams echoed from the distant woods!
The scarred lizardman quickly turned his head and looked in the southwest direction where the first lynx man had fled!
"Quick, come with me!"

The scarred lizardman and his men charged forward!
But before he could run two steps, shouts of battle came from the southeast again!

Scarface immediately stopped in his tracks, his brow furrowed.

"Something's wrong!"

Just then, a group of about a dozen lizardmen ran back.

"Chief, we've lost track of them!"

The leader of the lizardman squad reported anxiously.

Scarface was now even more convinced that the enemy was trying to scatter his troops, but the crucial thing was that he didn't know what to do!

Just as the scarred lizardman hesitated, shouts of battle erupted from the forest to the south!

……

……

Wright pushed off with his feet and leaped onto the tree branch, looking back at the woods behind him.

Eleven lizardmen emerged from the woods one after another, looking around for Wright, but they had no idea where to look.

Until I saw the faint footprints on the ground.

"What a bunch of stupid lizardmen."

Wright grabbed a handful of snow, made a snowball, and slammed it onto the lizardman's head with a "smack."

"Hey, I'm here, you idiot."

Wright made a sarcastic remark, and this provocation thoroughly enraged the pursuers.

The leader of the lizardmen roared and fired his spear!
Wright pushed off with his feet and leaped onto the other side of the tree branch, dodging the spear attack.

“Let’s continue.”

Wright turned around and scoffed, then jumped onto the branch of another tree without looking back.

He narrowly avoided another spear that flew towards him.

Wright darted back and forth in the trees, showcasing the lynx's agility to the fullest.

This is why Rhodes trapped Vika and the others in the cave before capturing them.

In other places, the Lynx could easily escape by relying on the terrain and its agile movements.

The Lynx Man was also very confident in his agility; otherwise, Vika wouldn't have taken such a risky attack.

Unfortunately, Rhodes outsmarted them.

The lizardman squad leader was also a clever lizardman.

Wright's provocation did not make him lose his temper. When he saw Wright constantly leaping between trees, he immediately pulled his deputy aside and gave him an order.

As the second-in-command threw his spear at Wright, the lizardman captain simultaneously raised his spear, anticipating Wright's jump trajectory!

Whoosh!
The sound of something cutting through the air rang out, and the spear was positioned precisely where Wright had landed!
Wright felt a chill run down his spine and, sensing danger, quickly twisted his body!
The spear flew past his neck, cutting his flesh painfully!
Wright managed to dodge the spears by relying on his physical strength, but he slipped and lost his balance, falling from the tree branch!

Falling is the most common mistake for the Lynx, and Wright absorbed the impact upon landing, so he wasn't in much pain.

However, the lizardman squad leader had already rushed forward, raising his heavy spiked club high, aiming at Wright's head!
The spikes gleamed coldly in the sunlight, crashing down with a whooshing sound!

"Die, you little beast!"

Wright rolled backward with all his might, the spiked club grazing his ear and smashing down, sending pebbles flying!
The flying pebbles cut Wright's cheek, leaving him in a sorry state!

The other lizardmen seized the opportunity to surround him, raising their spiked clubs menacingly and smashing them down at Wright!

Even with Wright's agility, he couldn't escape the close-range attack of eleven lizardmen!
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Just as Wright closed his eyes and awaited death, several arrows pierced the air and arrived!

Several lizardmen had their necks and heads pierced, and they screamed as they collapsed to the ground!
In a short while, only four lizardmen remained standing!
The four lizardmen then realized what was happening and scattered in panic!

"The archers are over there!"

The lizardman, hiding behind a rock, pointed in the direction from which the arrows had come. Just as he peeked out, another arrow pierced his head, pinning him to a tree behind him!
At that moment, Ryan's voice rang out.
"Quickly eliminate the remaining lizardmen and provide cover for the others!" "Yes, sir!"

The soldiers' voices rang out, and they quickly went up the hillside, finding and killing the three lizardmen who were hiding one by one.

With a hunting party providing support, this was very simple.

Raine walked up to Wright and helped the lynx-man up.

"The lord said that you should never be careless, no matter what, even if you have a 90% chance of winning."

After speaking, Ryan ignored Wright and led his soldiers toward another place where cats were meowing.

Wright was left looking bewildered, waiting for Kyle to translate.

In the ravine on the other side.

Gunle charged into the lizardmen alone, wielding a battle axe. Each swing of the axe kicked up a cloud of foul-smelling blood.

Gunle's group also included a hunting party, but Gunle preferred to charge ahead while the hunting party provided cover.

The soldiers who followed him also loved to charge into battle.

These soldiers relied on the tortoise shields that Rhodes had given them.

Even if hit by a spiked club and sent flying, the shield will not shatter.

The hunting party that Raine sent to Gungle was also elite, capable of providing timely assistance when soldiers were besieged, shooting through the lizardmen's thighs or even their hearts.

The entire battle lasted less than three minutes.

With Gunle severing the head of the fifth lizardman, the entire squad of seventeen lizardmen was wiped out.

The ground was covered in blood and corpses, and the air was filled with a strong stench.

Gunle flicked the blood off his battle axe without pausing.

"Two people will stay behind to guard the area; the rest of you come with me to support other places!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded in unison and quickly followed in Gonle's footsteps.

Gunle quickly found Rein, where the ground was also littered with the corpses of lizardmen.

Renn bent down and pulled his armor-piercing arrow from the corpse, then walked up to Gunther.
"Tussin reports, the rest have all escaped."

"Ran?"

Gunle gripped his axe tightly. "Why did they run away?"

"The lizardman who was leading the group was very cautious. He ran away after hearing the shouts of battle from this side."

Renn sighed, "What a pity, there were at least twenty lizardmen."

"These cowardly reptilians!"

Gunle spat and couldn't help but curse.

"That's enough for me to treat my buddies to several drinking sessions!"

There are extra rewards for Gunle and his soldiers hunting lizardmen here.

Each lizardman is worth 500 work points. Gonle currently has seven squads under his command, and the reward points from twenty lizardmen are enough for everyone to drink for half a month!

"We should have surrounded them and killed them all!"

"Alright, don't be greedy for the gains. This way, we'll suffer the fewest casualties."

Ryan patted Gunle on the shoulder and said a few words of comfort, while also instructing him, "And don't always think about drinking. Save up some work points. You'll be a father soon, and you'll need to buy toys for the child."

"Haha, only a child can spend a few work points."

Gunle chuckled nonchalantly, his mood brightening as the topic of children came up.

Gunle turned around and shouted to the soldiers,
"Everyone, clean up the battlefield carefully. Don't leave a single corpse behind. This is all money for raising your children in the future!"

……

……

Frostwolf Forest.

In the wolf enclosure, a dozen or so wild wolves roamed leisurely within the fenced area.

Their gray fur gleamed in the afternoon sun.

Ample food and balanced nutrition have made these desert wolves grow stronger and stronger.

Of course, the addition of the Lord of Rhodes breeding attribute also makes these wasteland wolves exceptionally healthy.

All living things have a tendency to be lazy; a leisurely life can make even a Steppenwolf complacent.

However, after the white wolf returned, they rarely had such leisurely moments.

They are idle now because their owner and the white wolf are in the cabin outside the wolf farm, staring at the black and red potion in Rhodes' hand.

—Giant Wolf Mutation Potion.

The white wolf leaned closer and sniffed.

"There's a scent of magic here, but I can't smell my own scent anymore."

"Yeah, so we still have to try."

Rhodes picked up the vial. "This is just a test sample. We need to test its effectiveness on a wolf."

"Let me try with my fangs."

Wolf Hoof stepped forward and spoke.

"No, the results are uncertain, and it might fail."

Rhodes shook his head without hesitation.

Rhodes knew that their contract was based on a deep bond formed with their Steppenwolf.

It was not just a mount, but a partner who would share life and death with you.

If anything unexpected happens, Wolf's Hoof will be in great pain.

"We believe in you, the great Holy Lord!"

Wolf Hoof straightened his chest. "If you say it's a success, then it must be a success!"

"Please don't waste such a precious potion on a wasteland wolf that has no contract!"

Wolf Hoof knelt on one knee and earnestly pleaded.

No young people in the Wolfhoof tribe have awakened yet, and if the giant wolf were to awaken, no one would be able to form a contract with it in the short term.

"Furthermore, Holy Lord, please believe me, the Beast Spirit Contract might also affect the potion's effectiveness!"

"What you say makes some sense."

Rod frowned and pondered for a moment, then instructed, "Let your fangs smell it first and see its reaction."

"Yes, Holy Lord!"

Wolfhoof immediately stood up and beckoned to the wasteland wolf lying outside the door. The wolf understood and strolled in leisurely.

"Fang, your chance has come. Seize it."

Wolf Hoof stroked the wolf's head and whispered something, then took the potion with both hands and presented it to Fang Nose.

Fang sniffed, its eyes lit up, and its tail wagged stiffly.

"You like it?"

Wolf Hoof sensed Fang's emotions and was immediately overjoyed.
"Holy Lord, Fang likes it, he can drink it!"

The wolf's paw gently stroked the neck of the beloved wolf.

Rhodes hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

Wolf Hoof hurriedly took out a clean wooden bowl and poured all the medicine into it.

"Drink it all! Drink it all up!"

Wolf Hoof said urgently.

Fang glanced at Wolf Hoof, then lowered his head and used his tongue to scoop all the medicine from the bowl into his mouth.

Even the final wooden bowl was licked clean by the sharp teeth.

After finishing its drink, it was still somewhat unsatisfied, staring at the wolf's hooves.

It seemed as if she was asking if there was any more, or perhaps savoring the taste of the medicine.

Wolf's hooves were also watching it.

Not only Wolfhoof, but also Rhodes, the White Wolf, and the other savages were staring intently at Fang.

Their fate hinged on the fangs' reaction.

Almost everyone held their breath.

The cabin was silent, save for the occasional low howl of a wild wolf from the wolf den outside.

A long time may have passed, but it could also have been just a moment.

Fang suddenly began to breathe heavily and collapsed to the ground.

Its tongue was stretched out very long, its mouth was wide open, and saliva was dripping down incessantly.

"Fang, how are you?"

Wolfhoof asked nervously, "How do you feel?"

Fang did not respond to the wolf's hooves; its body began to tremble violently.

You can clearly see the muscles twitching irregularly under the fur, and there are crackling sounds coming from the body.

"Ow!"

Painful whimpers came from its fangs, and it began to roll back and forth on the ground.

"Fangs!"

Wolfhoof shouted nervously, trying to step forward, but was grabbed by Rhodes.

"Calm down. According to the records of the inherited knowledge, it has begun to mutate."
