"Hiss!"
A cold wind swept across the barren wasteland. Viscount Cornish, dressed in a pink nightgown, shivered in the cold wind. His plump cheeks swelled up like a pig's head, and coupled with a forced, miserable smile, he looked somewhat like a pig being slaughtered.
If you didn't know better, you'd think he was stuck in a pigsty about to be slaughtered... Oh, sorry, he looks too much like a pig.
"The north is the territory of the Shapu family, which controls the most powerful armed forces. Among the leading officers alone, three are powerful figures from the duchy, used to guard the wasteland..."
Cornish wrapped himself tightly in his bathrobe, his flabby body twitching in the cold wind, but under the watchful eyes of the wolves, he revealed crucial information about the wasteland word by word.
He named the Shapu family, the overlords of the wasteland, known as the "Lions of the Desert," who instilled fear in the visitors from afar, preventing them from killing him.
As he said this, he carefully raised his head and glanced at the warm sheep farm. He smelled the aroma of grilled meat. This property, which should have belonged to him alone, had been seized by villains. It was too much!
The sheep were slaughtered one after another, made into roast meat for consumption and stored as jerky. His own men were beaten down, while a pack of wolves outside were jumping around like goats. This scene truly shattered his worldview.
His own castle was blown open, leaving a huge hole. The twin sisters he had finally managed to take advantage of were burned by the fire and ran out of the castle like madwomen. He then stabbed them in the heart with his sword repeatedly to vent his anger.
He blamed all the evil on the fox-man, and if he had the chance, he would definitely take revenge!
"Was everything recorded?"
The young fox king, sitting on a bearskin rug and carefully sipping his tea (lemon juice), inquired.
After he finished speaking, Khrushchev put down his quill, nodded, and gathered the intelligence that Viscount Cornis had given him. He then went with Blood Raven to formulate the next action plan.
As a visitor from afar, Xiao Han decided to ensnare the local nobles and exploit their value.
It's not just about wealth and resources, but also about all sorts of intelligence from the wasteland.
Therefore, upon seeing the faint look of grief and indignation in Cornish's eyes, Xiao Han was taken aback. He felt that this behavior was too much. How could someone roast lamb and eat meat while leaving the host outside in the cold wind? This was extremely impolite!
As a polite and refined gentleman, the little fox naturally invited him to come over here to warm up.
After all, good people are hard to find these days.
At least, the viscount who could smile broadly and lie about his conscience to praise his handsome and heroic appearance was a kind and friendly person.
"Ahem, actually, it's all a misunderstanding. We are the guards of Constantine, who came to the wasteland with good intentions. But when we first saw the sheep being bullied by your men, it was too pitiful. They were shaved clean and then pinned to the ground and subjected to indecent treatment. That's what caused the misunderstanding."
Amidst Viscount Cornish's increasingly stiff smile, Xiao Han offered an explanation, took a bite of the roasted lamb leg that his men had enthusiastically served him, and remarked with a sigh.
"The only flaw in my men, including the hunting dogs I train, is that they're too upright. They couldn't resist teaching those guys a lesson for you, letting the light of righteousness shine upon the earth."
You call animals that eat sheep "hunting dogs"?!
Does your hunting dog bark at you all day long?
But being a shameless old dog, in order to preserve his property in his predicament and get rid of these damned robbers with the help of the Shap family, Cornish believed Xiao Han's nonsense and clapped his hands in praise, deeply impressed by the Constantine City Guard's high moral character and their excellent style of helping those in need.
Of course, privately, he suspected that this pack of wolves was very likely a secret force from Constantinople, evading the duchy's surveillance and launching a surprise attack on the wasteland with a specific purpose.
The two sides were on the verge of war, and this cavalry unit that launched the surprise attack was definitely not just a simple raider!
"It is my honor to represent Your Highness in peace talks with the Shap family and to serve Your Highness..."
"Um, are you cold?"
Xiao Han asked curiously, looking at Viscount Cornish, who was wrapped in his pajamas in the cold wind, his fat body trembling quite violently.
"...Uh, Your Highness, I'm not cold."
Cornish asked in surprise, as he wrapped his robe tighter around himself, since the wardrobe had been blown up by a sudden fire and he had to run out wearing this sexy nightgown.
"No, you're cold. You're wearing such thin pajamas, you're practically frozen solid."
Cornish: "..."
"Alright, Your Highness, I really am a little cold."
Cornish nervously admitted, shivering. A chill hung in the air, the temperature plummeted, nothing compared to the comfort of a fireplace in a castle.
Therefore, he was quite looking forward to being invited into the warm sheep farm.
"Since you're cold, that's good. Let me bring you some warmth."
Xiao Han smiled elegantly. As Konis's expression shifted from initial delight to growing fear, a giant two-winged python darted out and instantly coiled around his body.
"Isn't it warm?"
Under Konis's stiff expression, Xiao Han chuckled and visualized the flame patterns on the sheep farm. Although they weren't very lethal, they did have a subtle effect on temperature regulation.
"Fuck your mother... Vulcan will never let this go... Waaah!"
In an instant, the giant python snapped his ribs. Cornish realized what was happening and cried out in shock and anger. He had made such a subservient gesture, yet this fox-man still harbored murderous intent towards him.
He roared a few times, spitting out a string of venomous curses. His bloated body was tightly constricted by the giant python, and with an explosion, his entire body was blown into a bloody mist, and his bones were turned to ashes. Several nimble knights skillfully stuffed him into a sack.
Fertilizer +1.
Then, Xiao Han narrowed his eyes, glanced at the destroyed castle, and coldly looked away.
"Awoo~"
The wolf pack wreaked havoc, and at the Fox King's command, the knights, working in coordination, completely demolished the sheep farm and took away useful and rare items, such as some magical materials.
Furthermore, a group of knights stormed into the castle, and amidst the panic and terror of the many servants, valuable treasures such as jewels, currency, and equipment were looted.
After all, Xiao Han carried more than twenty storage devices with him on his expedition, making it a veritable mobile warehouse, and he took away most of Konis's legacy!
Such a commotion had already alerted the commoners behind the castle. At Xiao Han's instruction, the viscount, having committed numerous evil deeds and blasphemed the Norse gods, ultimately perished in the raging flames that fell from the sky.
However, do not worry, gentlemen. We are the Horse Hunters, who worship the god of harvest. In order to restore the glory of the Norse gods, we encourage everyone to rebel against the duchy. As a sign of our sincerity, the Viscount's wealth will be given to you as start-up capital. Let's work together to overthrow the rule of all the lords and crush those dog lords! Give us back our freedom!
In order to free the wasteland from the jurisdiction of the principality and prevent them from having the energy to search for traces, Xiao Han resorted to any means necessary, stirring up the waters as much as possible.
