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

Chapter 295 I'm going to kill it myself!
……

……

Eagle Castle.

Laughter, echoing from the discovery of what was lost, reverberated in the study.

"As expected! This time we definitely made the right choice!"

Upon hearing Beoka utter the name of Salon, Luris abruptly stood up, her hurried movement nearly causing her to bump into the ink bottle on the table.

At this moment, she had lost her aristocratic elegance and paced back and forth in front of the wooden table.

"I knew it! I knew it would turn out like this!"

Ruris's voice was tinged with obvious smugness, and her eyes gleamed.
"If we continue to associate with the Coldblade family, Salen may never return!"

Ruris stopped in her tracks, clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white, but her expression was incredibly radiant.

This is a gambler's celebration after winning a high-stakes bet, and a politician's triumph after a successful strategy.

Ruris thoroughly enjoyed the sense of accomplishment that came from making the right choice.

Beoka stood obediently beside him, wisely not disturbing his adult.

After a moment, Ruth gradually calmed down from her ecstasy.

She took a few deep breaths, trying to regulate her breathing rhythm.

As a seasoned noblewoman, she knew she needed to remain calm.

Ruth sat back down in the chair, her expression returning to calm.

"Prepare three hundred gold coins, and also prepare fifty slaves, all of whom must be young and strong."

"Okay, my lord."

Beoka nodded, then cautiously said, "But if that's all we have, I think it'll be difficult to exchange it for a high-ranking knight..."

"You're right, I'll take care of the rest."

Ruris nodded slightly, appreciating Beauka's suggestion.
"Just take care of what I asked you to do."

Beoka nodded, but did not leave, his expression showing a hint of something he wanted to say but hesitated.

Ruris noticed Beoka's behavior and spoke up.

“Beokar, although you are only a junior knight, you should know that you are the person I trust the most.”

Ruris looked at Beoka, her voice becoming even gentler, "So, whatever you want to say, don't hold back."

"My lord, I think it's too much of a coincidence."

Beoka said cautiously, "You just showed weakness, and Baron Rhodes released the Knight of Salon."

Beoka paused for a moment, then continued his analysis.

"Although what Knight Salon said makes sense, I still feel like something's not quite right..."

After these words were spoken, a brief silence fell over the study.

Ruris listened quietly, then slowly began to speak.
"Are you suggesting that Madrei and Baron Rhodes have a deal, or even a partnership?"

“Yes, sir.” Beoka nodded.

"Your suspicions are normal, and could even be considered true."

A meaningful smile appeared on Ruris's face. "But what's the point?"

"This……"

Beoka was clearly taken aback.

Beoka opened her mouth, but found herself at a loss for words.

"We have no evidence, and there's nothing we can do even if you're guessing the truth."

Ruris shook her head slightly, her tone tinged with helplessness.
"In other words, if they cooperated, then Baron Rhodes should also know about Madre's relationship with the Coldblade family and the true nature of the attack."

"But instead of using the words of a robber to prove anything, he chose other methods and even accepted my show of weakness."

"Because he knows that if we deal with this matter simply with emotions, everyone will suffer losses."

Ruris let out a long sigh and concluded in an educational tone, "But now, Baron Rhodes will gain the property, and we will make up for our losses."

“But we have lost many of our people…” Beoka stammered.

"Don't lose more because of what you've already lost."

Ruris smiled and said casually, "Besides, those things aren't important; the Falcon family can afford them."

"You're right, thank you for your guidance."

Beoka nodded thoughtfully, bowed in thanks, and then turned and left.

Ruris was left standing there, letting out a silent sigh.

……

……

Standing on the shore, Rod didn't hesitate and immediately shouted the order.

"Everyone, spread out to both sides and take your positions!"

"Yes!"

Haier responded loudly and waved to his people.

The sealman darted quickly to either side of the bait.

This place is piled with all sorts of large stones, all of which were transported from the collapsed cliff by the rock ridge.

These boulders provided cover for the sealmen, allowing them to nimbly evade attacks and turning the beach into a veritable hunting ground.

Behind the boulder were hundreds of spears and harpoons, specifically prepared for prey.

Rhodes stood on the shore, staring intently at the sea.

The dark shadows were still surging beneath the water, like a giant rock rolling in the dark, creating ripples.

As they drew closer to the shore, the seawater began to make strange gurgling sounds, as if someone was hiding underwater swallowing the seawater.

As Rhodes backed away, he stared at the sea and soon saw a black tentacle as thick as a tree trunk emerge from the water.

The tentacles appeared only briefly, but the densely packed suckers on them were clearly visible.

Each suction cup is as big as a human head, with sharp barbs along its edges.

Immediately afterwards, a second tentacle appeared.

Then came the third, the fourth...

In the blink of an eye, countless enormous tentacles, like the arms of hell, stretched out from the sea.

They danced wildly in the air, as densely packed as the roots of an ancient tree!
Compared to the roots of the ancient tree, these tentacles are much thicker, with the thinnest ones being thicker than an adult man's thigh!

Soon, the seawater began to churn violently.

A huge whirlpool gradually appeared on the surface of the sea, and the next moment a giant head filled with slime slowly rose up!

Its round head was three meters in diameter, like a moving dome, and a pair of eyes that shone with purple light stared intently at Rhodes.

The next moment, the giant octopus began to move, its undulating tentacles stirring up waves, and it rushed straight towards Rhodes like a small hill!

"This isn't just a giant octopus, it's a colossal one!"

Rod watched the octopus rushing towards him, his thoughts racing.

This time, I absolutely cannot engage in close combat with this giant creature. If I get caught in its tentacles, I'll be strangled to death, and no one can save me!

"Everyone stay away and attack from a distance!"

Rhodes's voice echoed along the shore, "Notify the hunting party to come to our aid. This is a protracted battle!"

An eagle, following Rhodes's will, flew to the other side of the coast to deliver the order.

Seeing the giant octopus that was as tall as a three-story building, Rod quickly retreated.

Until it completely left the shore and was less than a hundred meters away from me.

Rhodes casually stored the Tear of the Deep into his storage badge, and the Dragonbone Longbow immediately fell into his hand.

The disappearance of the Tears of the Deep Sea slowed the giant octopus down instantly, but it didn't seem to realize the danger and appeared rather puzzled.

Rod gave it no time to hesitate; a crimson light flashed through the air and headed straight for the giant octopus's head!

Perhaps a single arrow posed no threat to it, or perhaps the giant octopus was slow to react, allowing the dragon bone arrow to strike its head precisely!
call!
Crimson flames instantly ignited, sweeping across the giant octopus's head, causing its slimy skin to smoke and emit a pungent, acrid smell.

However, this only happened in an instant; the flames went out and the smoke disappeared in the next moment!

The arrow is still stuck in the giant octopus's head, and it looks like it hasn't been attacked at all!
"Terrifying vitality..."

Rhodes was somewhat shocked.

If your attacks are like tickling it, what about the others?
Rhodes's thoughts raced, and he shouted a command to the sky.

"Thunder, Breath!"

"Roar!"

Lightning bolts swooped down from the cliff, heading straight for the giant octopus!

This time, the giant octopus realized the danger and immediately waved its tentacles, ready to attack Thunder at any moment!

However, Thunder was no fool dragon; it didn't even get close, instead opening its massive jaws in mid-air!

Immediately afterwards, a pillar of crimson flame descended from the sky, precisely grazing the giant octopus!

The giant octopus, being too large to dodge, could only raise its tentacles to protect its entire head!
The dragon's breath flames danced wildly on its tentacles, sizzling and crackling, and the salty, burnt smell instantly filled the entire beach! Countless arcs of electricity leaped within the flames, smashing terrifying craters into the tentacles!

But that wasn't the end of it; the thunderbolt circled in the air and came back!
Flames descended from the sky once more, mercilessly baptizing the giant octopus!

Octopuses can only wrap themselves tightly with their tentacles, standing upright in place to defend themselves, unable to retaliate in any way.

Most importantly, it can't do anything.

Thunder held nothing back, spraying all its flames onto its face!

At this moment, Rhodes did not stop at all, and fired dragon bone arrows at the giant octopus as if they were free!
In the blink of an eye, four or five dragon bone arrows were stuck in the giant octopus!
At the same time, the sealmen also began to attack, spears flying out and piercing the giant octopus.

Because of the giant octopus's enormous size, no one managed to throw it off target.

But just as Rhodes had predicted, the giant octopus in front of him was too resilient; even though its body was riddled with holes, it could still move freely.

Seeing this, Rhodes quickly took out the Tear of the Deep Sea, infused it with a trace of magic, and made the alluring air waves fluctuate again.

However, the giant octopus was not as foolish as one might imagine. It was not attracted by the tears of the deep sea and instead twisted its body to escape into the ocean.

Rhodes had anticipated this scene, and immediately picked up a spear with a sharp anchor head from the corner and threw it with all his might at the giant octopus!
The clanging of chains rang out as a spear, along with its chain, shot out and struck the octopus's tentacles, which were as thick as a young girl's waist!
The other end of the chain was nailed to the ground by an iron stake, with a rock larger than a bison pressing down on it!

Upon seeing this, Haier immediately shouted,
"Throw chain spears!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaped to the other side, picked up a spear with an anchor head, and shot it at the giant octopus!
The other sealmen grabbed their spears and threw them at the giant octopus!

"Puff puff!"

One after another, the sounds of spears piercing flesh rang out as they were all driven into the giant octopus's body!

The other ends of these spears were all nailed to the ground and weighed down with huge stones!

"Clatter!"

The sound of metal chains clashing rang out, and as the giant octopus moved, all twenty chains were straightened!

"Grrrrrr!"

A sharp roar exploded on the shore, making everyone's ears ring!
Perhaps sensing the tearing force on its body, the giant octopus started to panic this time!

The tentacles quickly wrapped around the thick iron chain on the spear and began to pull it outward with force!

"Now you should tear off the spear you're wearing!"

Rhodes mentally assessed the situation and continued firing the dragon bone arrows at the giant octopus's head!

"Throw all the spears into this guy, leave no one alive!"

Rod shouted the order.

Even without Rhodes's orders, the sealmen's actions did not stop.

Before long, half of the spears on the ground were gone, all stuck in the giant octopus!

"Crack!"

Just as the seal-man was launching a fierce attack, the giant octopus used its tentacles to snap an iron chain!
Seeing this, the seal-man sped up its attack again, while the giant octopus exerted its strength wildly, breaking two iron chains in succession!

"Next time, have them forge the Demon Steel Chains, let's do it!"

Rhodes cursed himself for his carelessness, sensing the opportune moment, and immediately shouted towards the sky.

"Frost, breathe!"

Frost flew down from the other side of the cliff, its icy blue breath instantly enveloping the giant octopus!

A layer of ice crystals instantly appeared on the thick tentacles, and the movement visibly slowed down.

As the frost continued to fall, the central tentacle had been completely frozen into an ice sculpture!
Even though marine life has some resistance to frost, this guy won't be able to move for a while.

"Frost, Thunder!"

Rod shouted, "Tear it to shreds while it's still slow to move!"

"Roar!"

After exhaling their breath, the two young dragons pounced on the giant octopus, which was even larger than themselves!

……

……

Frosty Leaf Town.

On the stone path outside the manor, Avril hurried toward Luna's apothecary.

Luna, who was processing herbs in the yard, saw this and quickly came forward, bowing and curtsying in greeting.

"Madam, what do you want?"

Avril stepped forward and softly instructed, "Please call Yura over for me."

"Okay, wait a minute."

Luna nodded slightly, then turned and entered the underground chamber of the medicine-making room.

Avril stood next to the drying rack and casually fiddled with the herbs.

Avril had previously learned a lot about herbs from Luna, which was the most basic work.

Yu Lai quickly emerged from the pharmaceutical room.
"Madam, you can simply send someone to give you any instructions!"

Yurai walked briskly to Avril, "Why did you come all the way here in person!"

"It's been a long time since I've been here, and it doesn't really matter who comes to visit whom."

Avril affectionately took Yurai's hand, making them look more like sisters than mistress and servant.

"I'm here so you can prepare some materials for making a potent life-saving potion,"

Avril said with a smile, "The work I've been doing lately all requires that potion. You should take some time to study it."

"I know this medicine!"

Yurai replied without hesitation, "We do have some of the magical herbs needed for this potion, but we don't have any potent life essence!"

"That stuff seems to require the bodily fluids of a magical beast with super-strong vitality to be extracted!"

Yu Lai suddenly awakened a few days ago for some unknown reason. She can memorize the recipes and production process of magic potions very quickly, and her success rate in making potions has become very high.

So Avril had no doubt about what she said.

But Avril, upon hearing Yurai's introduction, showed no sign of distress; instead, she nodded.
"That's perfect, you just need to prepare the materials."

Avril had a gentle smile on her face.
"The materials we need will be available soon."

……

……

Deep blue blood was splattered all over the ground, and the entire coastline was filled with a fishy stench.

Tentacles were broken off everywhere, and even four or five tentacles the size of a human waist were scattered on the shore.

"Keep the attack, don't let it get away!"

As Rod watched the giant octopus, which had broken all the chains and was wriggling toward the sea, he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of saliva, just like Gunther.

It's not that everyone is incompetent, but rather that this giant octopus is incredibly resilient.

The sealmen have turned it into a hedgehog, and the frost and thunder have torn it apart, leaving it covered in wounds!
But it still shook off everyone, abandoned its broken tentacles, and stubbornly kept crawling into the sea!
Even if you are reborn today, you'll still have to stay here!

Rhodes sheathed his dragonbone longbow, now devoid of dragonbone arrows, and drew his Ashbringer.
"Frost Thunder, drag me back!"

Rhodes, carrying Ashbringer, rushed swiftly towards the giant octopus.
"I'm going to kill it with my own blood!"

……

……

After a long time.

Rhodes, panting heavily and covered in dark blue blood, plopped down on the shore.

The remains of a giant octopus lay lying nearby, with Ashbringer still stuck in its head.

"Bah, it stinks!"

Rhodes shook off the blood on his body with some disgust.

None of these sea monsters smelled good; they were all salty, fishy, ​​and foul-smelling, enough to make most people vomit.

However, it must be said that although this deep blue blood smells bad, it still has some magical fluctuations.

Moreover, it becomes even more fragrant after cooking.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I couldn't be of any help..."

Vivian appeared beside Rhodes, wiping the blood from his face with a handkerchief.

However, her movements were a bit clumsy, not as gentle as Avril Lavigne's.

"It's alright, this kind of fighting isn't suitable for you."

Rod said indifferently.

Actually, if Rhodes hadn't been able to shoot arrows from a distance, the octopus would have lost many tentacles later on.

Rhodes was unable to go forward.

"If you don't mind."

Vivian gave an embarrassed smile and whispered, "My sister wants to get some materials from this giant octopus as soon as possible; maybe it can help Durant..."
