Live Stream: I Am A Lord In Another World - Chapter 98

“Lord, all the wealth has been inventoried!”

After the inventory was completed, a captain came to report.

“Send someone to transport it back,” Richard said.

He directly stored the gold coins in his storage space.

However, the volume of these valuables was not small, so he couldn’t fit them all in.

These valuables were worth quite a few gold coins, so Richard didn’t waste them and prepared to transport them all back.

This viscount acted quite swiftly.

However, at the end of the war, Dorothy had already set off with Gazia.

After discovering that the viscount was planning to leave, Dorothy sent Gazia back to inform Richard, who then led his men to pursue them.

In fact, with Dorothy’s strength, she could have easily killed the viscount alone, but she chose not to. Instead, she allowed the viscount to pack up all his belongings and leave.

This actually saved Richard a lot of trouble.

The centaurs were all skilled in wilderness combat. If the viscount had stayed holed up in the castle, there would have been another battle.

Moreover, since the viscount had packed up all his belongings, Richard could livestream the process of taking them away.

“Let’s go, we’re heading to another viscount’s territory!”

After dealing with this viscount, Richard led his men to the territory of another viscount named Viscount Ide.

This time, he didn’t bring many people with him.

The centaur chieftain had already returned to the White Stone Highlands alone, and the other centaurs of the tribe were still on the way.

Richard only brought 500 centaurs, over 100 cavalry, 200 fox archers, and thirty minotaurs.

Each of the 200 fox archers rode a horse.

Compared to humans, these fox people learned to ride horses a bit faster.

Presumably, because they were demi-humans, they could communicate better with horses.

Viscount Ide’s territory was not short of distance from here. Even if they were riding horses, it would still take most of the day.

After rushing all the way, they finally arrived not far from Viscount Ide’s territory after nightfall.

“Master, you’re here!”

Dorothy had been here for a while.

Richard looked at her and asked, “How’s the situation?”

“Master, Viscount Ide hasn’t left, but he has strengthened the defense and increased the defenses of the castle. He also has a force of over a thousand men,” Dorothy replied.

Richard looked at the castle under the night sky.

Inside the castle, many lights could still be seen.

The viscount wasn’t considered a particularly large noble.

However, a viscount’s wealth was many times greater than that of a baron.

A baron’s income, throughout the year on the border, would be at most several dozen or a maximum of a hundred gold coins, a bit more inland, but still around two hundred gold coins.

But a viscount’s income, over the course of a year, would easily exceed five hundred gold coins.

Even someone like Viscount Ide, who frequently sent people disguised as bandits to plunder around, would be even wealthier!

“How should we attack, Master?” Mia asked.

Richard pondered for a moment before saying, “You all go in first and seize control of the castle’s main gate. After opening the gate, deal with the officers inside.”

“Yes, Master!” Mia said before stealthily advancing toward Viscount Ide’s castle with Dorothy.

Viscount Ide’s castle was much more fortified than the small castle Richard had obtained from Baron Ted in the past.

The castle’s area was also quite large, with numerous rooms inside. A castle like this was equivalent to a small city. Over the past few days, most of Viscount Ide’s army had been stationed inside.

However, Mia and Dorothy were able to sneak in quietly.

At this moment, inside the castle, Viscount Ide hadn’t gone to sleep yet. He was in the great hall listening to a report from an officer.

“Sir, we’ve recruited 500 soldiers in the past few days, equipped them with weapons, and strengthened the defenses of the territory. You don’t need to worry too much, sir. Even if the other side finds out it was us, they might not necessarily attack. Defending a castle is different from attacking one. Even if that Richard is a mage, he won’t be able to blast open our reinforced gates.”

The officer reported.

“How despicable!” Viscount Ide didn’t show any signs of worry; instead, he was angry!

“Reed deceived me, saying that the lord had only a little over a thousand soldiers, and we would win no matter how we attacked. Who would have known that his demi-human warriors would be so strong in battle? If I had known earlier, I would have recruited a batch of demi-humans myself!”

Viscount Ide said.

One of his officers replied, “Sir, demi-humans are not easy to control. Besides, using them is too obvious. The other side probably won’t directly send demi-humans to attack our territory.”

Viscount Ide said, “Continue to strengthen the defense for the next month. Richard probably already knows about us by now. I can’t sleep at ease until he’s dealt with. Send someone to the Assassins Guild in Westping City and see if we can hire some skilled assassins. After he’s assassinated, his territory will be in chaos, and we can still take it over.”

The officer said, “Sir, this idea of yours is not bad, but skilled assassins are not cheap.”

“Even if it’s expensive, hire them!” Viscount Ide snorted.

While the two of them were discussing how to kill Richard, they had no idea that two of the most skilled assassins had already infiltrated his castle.

The soldiers patrolling outside the castle had also been quietly eliminated by the two of them.

Taking advantage of the cover of night, Mia and Dorothy sneaked to the vicinity of the castle gate.

Then, they noticed that there were about a hundred guards stationed near the castle gate.

“I’ll create a fire to cause chaos,” Dorothy whispered.

“Alright!” Mia agreed.

Dorothy quietly left.

Before long, a fierce fire broke out in one of the rooms in the castle.

“Fire! Fire!” Someone noticed and shouted.

The fire spread quickly, engulfing several rooms in no time.

“Quick, put it out!”

Many soldiers sprang into action, rushing to the well to fetch water.

But the fire was already growing larger and larger.

“Half of you, go put out the fire!”

At this moment, someone ran to the castle gate and shouted.

In fact, there were quite a few soldiers stationed in the castle, but most of them were still resting and hadn’t gotten up so quickly.

The soldiers in this world are not like the ones before Richard traveled through, that they can assemble within a few minutes after hearing a signal.

As a result, half of the soldiers at the castle gate were directly taken away.

“We can start now!”

Seeing the soldiers being drawn away, Mia didn’t hesitate any longer and rushed out with a short sword in hand.

The first one she killed was a soldier standing behind a drum. That soldier could use the drum to alert the entire castle’s soldiers, so she killed him. With the spreading fire and chaos throughout the castle, the commotion at the gate wouldn’t be noticed as quickly.

Mia’s movements were lightning-fast. As soon as she charged out, she swiftly struck the soldier’s throat with her sword. The soldier was killed before he could make a sound.

Then, Mia’s short sword moved swiftly, killing one soldier after another who were watching the fire.

It wasn’t until she killed the fifth soldier that some of them reacted.

“Enemy attack!” one soldier shouted, but halfway through his high-pitched scream, he was killed by Dorothy, who had rushed back.

With the two women working together, the effect of killing the enemy was too swift!

On a small battlefield like this, their power was extraordinary.

Although there were fifty soldiers here, under their coordination, in just a few minutes, there were corpses everywhere.

However, by this time, other soldiers had already noticed the changes at the gate and began to rush over to support.

“I’ll open the gate, you hold them off,” Mia said.

The castle’s gate had already been reinforced with several layers, and the locking mechanism used several large, heavy wooden pegs. Normally, it would take three or four people to operate the gate.

Although Mia was strong, her strength wasn’t much greater than that of an average person. However, using two daggers and employing the leverage principle Richard had taught her, she managed to pry out several wooden pegs.

As soon as the pegs were removed, Mia opened the first gate.

On the other side, Dorothy killed a large number of soldiers who came to reinforce.

But more and more soldiers were coming.

“Hurry up, Mia!” Dorothy shouted.

Mia quickly arrived at the second gate and found that the wooden pegs here were also quite large. She pulled out the pegs one after another and then opened the second gate.

However, there was still another wooden barrier outside, which was lowered from above, and she couldn’t lift it.

“Mia, what’s the situation?” At this moment, Richard’s voice came through the walkie-talkie she was carrying.

“Master, I can’t open this wooden barrier,” Mia said.

“Stand back!” Richard’s voice rang out.

Mia quickly stepped back.

Then she saw a fireball rushing towards her and hitting the wooden barrier, causing an explosion!

Boom!

Immediately, a hole was blasted in the wooden barrier, which started burning fiercely.

Following that, several minotaurs appeared, carrying a large iron pole. With a fierce crash, they broke through the wooden barrier.

“Charge!”

Thirty minotaurs and centaurs rushed forward.

Mira joined the warriors once again, unleashing carnage.

Half an hour later, Viscount Ide’s castle was littered with corpses.

In the hall, Viscount Ide stood pale-faced, his eyes filled with despair.

This nobleman, who often sent people disguised as bandits to kill and set fires everywhere, finally tasted the bitterness of having his castle breached and becoming prey!

The minotaurs continued to carry boxes of treasures out.

There was quite a lot of treasure.

When all the gold coins, silver coins, and steel coins were counted, they amounted to more than three thousand gold coins!

That was equivalent to more than thirty million!

Viscount Ide was indeed wealthy.

However, now, these gold coins belonged to Richard!

He wasn’t a robber.

If Viscount Ide hadn’t provoked him, Richard wouldn’t have brazenly attacked like this.

However, there were no “ifs” in life.

Who made Viscount Ide so short-sighted as to target him?

Richard wouldn’t show mercy to his enemies.

Especially when it was an enemy who had set his sights on him.

If he hadn’t taken the initiative to kill, Viscount Ide would probably have had other means in the future.

So, the best course of action was to cut off this source.

With more than three thousand gold coins, plus a large amount of treasure, Richard had made quite a fortune this time.
