Chapter One, Lord of the People(1/2)
From time to time in the dark cave, the heavy breathing of beasts could be heard.
In the open space in front of the cave.
Several farmers holding stone axes and pickaxes moved forward little by little, driven by the lord.
Snapped!!
The lord raised the whip in his hand and struck a peasant hard.
The whip was made of vine branches and was covered with tiny barbs. When the whip was whipped down, a horrific bloody mark appeared on the farmer's back.
hiss!
Fang Hao took a breath.
The burning pain made him wake up instantly.
Turned around suddenly.
Then he saw a man holding a whip looking at him sinisterly.
"Go in quickly. If you don't take out the treasure box, I will skin you."
Snapped!
The man roared and cracked his whip in the air again.
Before Fang Hao could react, a notification sound suddenly sounded in his ear.
【Welcome to the National Lords Game.】
[Recruit farmers, collect resources, train soldiers, expand your territory, use what you can to work together, and work hard to survive! 】
[The territory is your home. Developing it will give you a greater chance of survival. 】
[Please be kind to the farmers and soldiers you recruit. Once the loyalty of your farmers and soldiers decreases, they are likely to become passive and defect! 】
[If you meet someone of the same kind, congratulations, you have caught a fat pig. Of course, if you are not as strong as a human, the fat pig will be you.]
[Novice protection countdown: 6 days, 23 hours and 40 minutes, during this period your territory will not be attacked! 】
[For more features, please check out the Book of Lords!]
【Finally, I wish you good luck!】
After listening to the prompt carefully, Fang Hao's expression suddenly changed.
He can accept time travel.
But it seems that his situation at this time is not optimistic.
Dressed like a peasant, the sinister-looking man behind him is more like a lord.
And there is a brown leather book hanging on his waist, which must be the Book of Lords mentioned in the prompt.
"It's over, I'm cannon fodder!" Fang Hao secretly cursed his bad luck.
The five villagers moved forward slowly.
The farmers on the side were crying and begging loudly for mercy.
"Lord, we are just ordinary farmers, we cannot steal the treasure chest."
But this begging for mercy did not win the lord's sympathy.
"Fuck, stop talking nonsense and get in quickly." The man cursed loudly.
His expression revealed sternness and impatience.
The five villagers had no choice but to move forward.
Fang Hao didn't speak or look back from beginning to end.
Obviously.
This lord uses farmers to explore the road. If the life is good, he can obtain resources and increase his early advantage.
No matter how bad it is, these farmers will be sacrificed, which will have no impact on him.
The five people moved forward step by step.
Finally, we entered the cave.
The deeper you go, the darker the cave becomes.
The beast's breathing became increasingly clear.
The farmers began to look more and more frightened, and some people's legs began to swing. They could only move forward reluctantly by holding on to the wall.
Dragging his feet little by little, he finally reached the depths and saw the owner of the cave.
This is a giant brown tiger.
It had black markings and was huge, far bigger than the tigers Fang Hao had seen on TV.
at this time.
The tiger's scarlet eyes were staring at them.
Revealing fierceness and resentment.
"Old... Tiger, it's over."
The farmers were all worried.
With their fighting power, they are absolutely unable to defeat an adult tiger.
"It's injured." Fang Hao whispered.
The cave is dark, and the air is filled with the smell of blood. If you look carefully, you can see that the tiger has been injured.
And the injuries were serious.
Under the abdomen, dark red blood accumulated.
"Let's, let's go close to the wall, take the treasure box and leave." One person whispered.
If the treasure chest was not taken out, the lord obviously would not give up, so they had no choice but to suppress the fear in their hearts and walk around the tiger little by little towards the treasure chest inside.
I prayed in my heart that the tiger would not pay attention to them because of his injury.
Several people moved slowly against the wall.
The tiger's eyes stared at them, turning little by little in response to the actions of a few people.
When it was discovered that these humans were trying to bypass him and go straight to the treasure chest.
With an angry roar, he dragged the blood and internal organs all over the floor and rushed towards Fang Hao and the others.
"Fight it, kill it, otherwise we will all die." Fang Hao shouted loudly, swinging out the stone ax in his hand.
For a moment, the angry roar of the tiger and the screams of the villagers were heard in the cave.
…
A few minutes later.
Fang Hao walked out covered in blood, stood at the entrance of the cave, and waved to the man looking into the distance.
"Is the monster inside dead?" the man shouted from a distance.
Fang Hao nodded.
An uncontrollable joy suddenly appeared on the man's face, "That's great, that's great."
Muttering in his mouth, he ran towards the cave.
Entering the cave, looking at the corpses of the tiger and the four villagers on the ground, he walked inside without stopping for a moment.
When he saw the wooden treasure box, a trace of doubt suddenly appeared on his face.
"Why was it opened?"
at this time.
A deep sense of crisis came from behind.
Duo!
It sounded like chopping wood.
A stone ax hit his neck hard from behind.
The ax blade made of stone was not sharp, but it still tore through his flesh and blood, even cutting into most of the hard neck bones.
"You..." The man's eyes widened angrily, his eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.
How is this possible? How could the farmers sent by the system attack me?
Why is this happening?
Fang Hao's second ax struck again.
Blood splattered.
