Tauren Overlord

As if she had foreseen something, the lady of the lord pushed her handsome son out of the carriage and shouted desperately:

"Leya, take him away!"

Before Leia could react, Lu Heng had already thrown a stone.

The stone passed through the thin car window and gave the lord's wife a lot of ideas!

The lord's wife felt that the countless joys of her life flashed by like a revolving lantern.

The final scene was a sea of ​​blood red.

Seeing that Lu Heng hit the target, the rat people's fighting spirit was quickly restored!

They seem to be saying, “I think I’m fine again!”

On the contrary, except for Leia, all the remaining soldiers of the Mountain Territory were in a state of panic.

In fact, they were not really remnants. Lu Heng had never intended to destroy the manpower in his territory.

It would be better to say that he chose these ratmen because of their low attack power.

The only person who actually died on the battlefield was the lord's wife.

At this moment, Leia gave orders to her left and right:

"Abandon the carriage, rescue the young master, and - take the lady's body! We will withdraw to the fiefdom!"

She had heard countless rumors about the ratmen, saying that they were so hungry that they would not even spare the corpses of women.

What's more, the lady's body was still warm, which made Leia more worried.

The team quickly carried out Leia's orders. They took advantage of their speed and successfully left the battlefield.

In fact, she didn't know the full picture of the lord's wife's special escape plan.

Since the escape attempt has failed, try to preserve your strength to protect the remaining masters.

But what will happen to her after she goes back?

Countless wild fantasies kept emerging in the knight sister's mind.

As the lady's bodyguard, she even protected the eldest young master's mother.

So...how will the young master punish me?

Leia's heart was tense, she was scared, and even... a little bit expectant.

11. Become a lord from today

As the dust of the battle gradually dissipated, the rats showed their bright teeth, their eyes flashing with the joy of victory.

"Great! We don't have to die today!"

Listening to the rat people's cheers, Lu Heng also showed a certain joy, but he was not optimistic in his heart.

He even wanted to complain, is the racial balance in this world made with feet?

He also knew from Lucius's memory that the ratmen had poor fighting ability.

But actually seeing how poor the ratmen’s fighting power is is another matter.

If he didn’t have the power of the Minotaur and used his exclusive skills.

Otherwise, these ratmen wouldn’t even be able to give a thought to a non-combatant like the lord’s wife.

If they encounter any real opponents, such as the lord and his genuine troops returning, wouldn’t Lu Heng’s ratmen be directly slaughtered?

It seems that if he wants to make these ratmen play a greater role, he has to find a way to improve the individual combat effectiveness of the ratmen.

For example... making gunpowder and making muskets?

This was the first thing Lu Heng thought of.

The so-called gunpowder is actually not that complicated.

It seems that it can be produced by mixing several things such as sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal.

As for what ingredients there are, what is the ratio of each ingredient, and how to mix them...

Lu Heng really couldn't remember these. He was about to take out his cell phone...but...

Oh no! I don’t have a cell phone and I can’t access the Internet.

Besides, he was not like some memory masters who remembered all the knowledge such as the formula of gunpowder and the manufacturing process of guns and cannons clearly before traveling through time.

This thing is not tested in the exam, so who remembers how to make a gunpowder gun?

In short, the plan to arm the ratmen with firearms has to be put on hold for the time being.

But this idea of ​​strengthening the quality of the ratmen troops by improving technology should be fine.

However, the current conditions are not sufficient, so Lu Heng plans to change the time and method to make guns and cannons again.

There is also good news. At least the number of rat people led by Lu Heng still has a lot of room for improvement.

Now the various ratmen resistance organizations in this area are basically in the stage of groping for survival.

The ratmen in front of us are only a small part of them.

If they could act in unison under the command of a unified Tauren Overlord, the situation of the Luna people would be greatly improved.

In addition, this place is desolate and barren, and the empire will not prioritize sending powerful troops here to clear it out, so this is an ideal location for development.

And in theory, it was the responsibility of the local lord to wipe out these ratmen, but the lord was fighting on another battlefield at the time.

This is a situation where we have the right time and place, but lack the right people.

In order to develop well here, Lu Heng really needs the help of these Luna natives.

When more imperial adventurers come to hunt, it will be difficult for Lu Heng to trap them all by himself.

After the rats' joy at surviving the disaster faded, Lu Heng asked them to sit down together again.

He looked around and said in a deep voice:

"My friends, I am honored to fight with you, but next, I will leave here temporarily..."

Perhaps sensing something uneasy in Lu Heng's tone, many rat people felt that their future was bleak again.

"Why...why?"

The rat man asked questions one after another.

Looking at the rat people who were in a state of confusion again, Lu Heng continued:

"I must go to the next place that urgently needs help. When you need me again, I will be back like lightning!"

His voice was firm and powerful, as if it could penetrate people's hearts.

Listening to Lu Heng's words, the Duck Prophet, who always encouraged others' morale, seemed to have found the true light.

He stretched his neck and said:

"Dear Mr. Minotaur, we at the Suspension Bridge Monastery always welcome you back!"

"If you wish, will you be our lord?"

Lu Heng originally planned to discuss this topic after he got more familiar with them.

But since you said so, he would respectfully obey:

"Okay, I am also willing to be the Tauren Lord here. You can start voting now."

In the legal system of the Luna people, anyone who has not been deprived of their rights as a subject can nominate and be nominated as a lord as an individual.

And during wartime, the process of nominating and being nominated is generally simpler than in peacetime.

If Lu Heng was elected as the lord, he would have the power to lead the people, but also the responsibility to protect them.

For Lu Heng, who had just demonstrated his strong business ability, it was not difficult to be chosen as the lord by these rat people.

Most of the ratmen present raised their hands in unison, even the Duck Prophet was no exception.

This duck prophet was also a refugee who fled here. When he passed by the Suspension Bridge Monastery, he was elected as the prophet here.

In fact, he is neither a lord nor a prophet.

He also needed a strong lord to defend this foothold.

Faced with the lively enthusiasm of his subjects, Lu Heng smiled slightly, feeling that this was going even more smoothly than he had initially expected.

He glanced at the newly recognized people around him and said in a deep voice again:

"I do have an important task for you to complete - please praise my name widely in this mountainous area."

"We are promoting this to the Luna people, but it's okay if the Imperials know about it."

"You need to let more Luna people who need help know about my existence, so that I can help more people."

“You should also pay more attention to those who want to join us and provide initial guidance and screening.”

The Rat Man and the Duck Prophet did not find it difficult to accept Lu Heng's request.

Lu Heng did not need them to provide any actual supplies, but only needed to spread a message in order to gain an opportunity to increase the number of his subjects.

They even felt that it was a bit too lenient if they could get the protection of the strong just by doing this.

Since they had gotten a great bargain, they all expressed their willingness to carry out Lu Heng's orders.

……

After bidding farewell to the people of the Suspension Bridge Monastery, Lu Heng returned to the study in the lord's mansion like lightning.

He turned on the landing point vision again and looked down at the location of the escape team from mid-air.

The situation was also better than expected, and the team was returning to the Lord's Mansion under the leadership of Leia.

This meant that this batch of valuable quasi-combat forces was preserved, and there was no loss of the horses taken away by the lord's wife.

Lu Heng originally thought that if Leia defected, or if she was unable to control her subordinates and ran around everywhere, then it would be difficult for him to deal with it.

Now Leia makes Lu Heng less worried.

Of course, if Leia and the others were really troublesome, Lu Heng would have no choice but to teleport a few more times to scare them back to the lord's mansion.

If it doesn't work, then kill him.

Anyway, with Rosa's psychic crystal, Lu Heng's combat endurance has been greatly improved.

After the previous rounds of tossing and turning, only half of the spiritual energy reserves in the crystal have been consumed.

While using the crystal, Lu Heng discovered that the biggest highlight of this "power bank" is that the user does not need to consume his own spiritual energy reserves.

This means that his mental power is always in an unconsumed state, which is more effective than simply "extending the energy tank".

It seems that little Rosa can also play her role.

Next, Lu Heng still has a lot of things to do.

After all, there was a new Tauren lord on the Beastmen side, whom he had just become, and he had to deal with him properly.

At the same time, he was a young nobleman who had just experienced the pain of losing a loved one, so it was time for him to pretend to make some plans to defend himself.

12. Master, please punish me!

Leia and the team she led have safely returned the bodies of the young master and the lord's wife to the lord's mansion.

The bloody head of the lord's wife had also been wrapped up. This was the last bit of dignity that Rhea had retained for the mistress.

Although no one knew better than Lu Heng how the lord's wife died, he still listened patiently to Leia's report.

He looked at the stepmother he had just killed, and while adjusting his breathing, he kept reminding himself in his heart:

Hang in there, you must control your emotions and don't lose control in front of her.

Finally, Lu Heng clenched his fists, turned around gently, and made a deep and unnatural conclusion:

"I see."

The master tried hard to hold back these words, but they inadvertently caused Leia's heart, which was filled with honor and loyalty, to ache slightly.
