Live Stream: I Am A Lord In Another World - Chapter 95

Swoosh!

On Richard’s territory, a centaur warrior threw his spear at a bandit riding a horse, directly knocking the bandit down.

At the terrifying speed of the centaur warriors, these bandits, even on horseback, found it not so easy to escape.

On the other side, the minotaurs were also in pursuit of the bandits.

The minotaurs’ speed was also much faster than the bandits.

It wasn’t until over two hours later that the pursuit came to an end.

Over a thousand bandits were killed, more than three thousand surrendered, and less than a hundred bandits managed to escape.

The three thousand surrendered bandits were easy to handle.

Richard did not kill them.

Previously, almost all the bandits in the city had been wiped out, partly because the enemy was still resisting, and partly because Richard had to deal with the battle here and couldn’t spare the time and manpower to deal with those bandits.

As for now, Richard had already prepared handcuffs and iron chains.

Soon, soldiers went up and shackled all these bandits’ hands and feet.

So, these bandits became laborers to Richard.

These bandits were accustomed to robbery; unlike refugees, they ate well every day, and as bandits, they had decent physical fitnessm, just right for the job.

They were sent to work on the hydroelectric power station.

Richard’s hydroelectric power station was almost completed. After completing this power station, these bandits could be sent to build roads.

His territory had expanded again, requiring a large number of people to plant and build.

After these bandits were captured, this war against the bandits ended in a complete victory for Richard’s side.

…

“Is it him?”

Another hour later, in a prison cell, Richard pointed at a captured bandit leader and asked.

“Yes, it’s him!”

Fred glared at the bandit leader with fury in his eyes.

This bandit leader was the culprit who had caused his wife to be dishonored and his son to be killed!

This bandit leader happened to attack the west side of the city, so Richard spared him from death, just to let Fred have his revenge.

“Sob~”

The bandit leader’s mouth was stuffed with paper, and his eyes were filled with terror.

At this moment, he had long lost the cruelty he had as a bandit.

Richard pulled out a dagger and handed it to Fred.

After taking the dagger, Fred clenched it tightly and walked towards the bandit leader.

“Sob~”

The bandit leader kept shaking his head, wanting to say something, but couldn’t speak at all.

Fred remembered the scene that day, and his eyes were filled with rage and hatred.

Then he saw himself holding the dagger, thrusting it fiercely into the bandit leader’s face.

Immediately, the bandit leader’s face was pierced by the dagger, blood gushing out.

“Sob~”

The bandit leader screamed in agony, but his screams were muffled by the paper in his mouth, turning into muffled sounds.

Fred seemed to feel unsatisfied. After pulling out the dagger, he didn’t continue to attack, but coldly watched the bandit leader’s painful expression.

Then he tore off the paper from the bandit leader’s mouth, listening to his screams, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

He wanted to repay the pain he had suffered back then, twofold to this bandit leader.

Seeing this, Richard walked out.

Let the one with hatred in his heart vent it out completely~

It took more than an hour for the screams in the prison cell to finally stop.

In another prison cell, the other two bandit leaders had turned pale.

Fred, covered in blood, walked out from inside, his expression on his face returning to normal.

“Thank you, Lord Richard.”

Fred handed the dagger, which he had wiped clean with his clothes, back to Richard.

Richard took the dagger and said, “There are still thousands of bandits captured. See if any of them were involved in the events of that day.”

“Okay!”

Fred walked out, with the help of several soldiers, he pointed out one by one the bandits who had attacked his castle that day, and then personally killed them.

Hundreds of bandits were killed.

After killing these hundreds of bandits, Fred was covered in blood, even his face was filled with blood.

Then, he dropped the knife, took a deep breath, and tears washed away the bloodstains on his face, leaving two traces of tears.

From the next day onwards, he returned to normal.

He became Baron Fred once again.

Richard officially appointed him as the city magistrate.

His daughter surprisingly had a good education, could read, and even write poetry, and had written some novels.

This discovery prompted Richard to decide to establish a new department.

That would be a newspaper.

Yes, Richard was preparing to start a newspaper.

Previously, he didn’t have talented individuals in this area.

But now he did.

Now, on Richard’s territory, ordinary workers were desperately trying to learn to read.

The reason was simple; knowing how to read earned them an extra copper coin per day.

Without doing more work, but earning an extra copper coin every day, why wouldn’t they do it?

Richard had a separate conversation with Fred’s daughter and told her his ideas about the newspaper.

Fred’s daughter’s eyes sparkled with excitement. Richard’s idea was something she had never heard of before.

So, this girl, who had suffered great losses due to the bandits, officially became the manager of Richard’s newspaper.

As for printing the newspaper, Richard planned to handle it initially through the online store.

However, later on, he would gradually purchase printing equipment to address the newspaper’s printing needs.

Following this, Richard recruited several news readers.

Yes, news readers.

Despite the efforts of people in his territory to learn to read, the literacy rate was still not high.

Therefore, news readers were deemed necessary.

News readers played a role similar to storytellers and also contributed to improving literacy rates.

Before all these arrangements were settled, another matter had already been resolved.

That was the source of these bandits.

Of the more than ten groups of bandits who attacked this time, eight were genuine bandits.

The other two groups… were not real bandits.

One was organized by the nobleman behind the bandits who were defeated by Richard last time, and the other belonged to another nobleman.

These two noblemen were both viscounts in the northeast region and owned considerable wealth and territory.

“Are they testing me?”

Richard sneered coldly.

One cannot receive without giving.

He pondered how to retaliate against them.

Nobles couldn’t engage in large-scale battles without reason.

However…

If they could send people disguised as bandits to attack him, Richard could do the same and send people disguised as bandits to attack them.

Just as Richard was thinking about his counterattack plan, another piece of news came from the kingdom he was in.

This news was brought by some merchants.

Within the kingdom’s borders, some refugees, driven by desperation, had launched a large-scale uprising.

A rebel army of over a hundred thousand people had appeared.
