"Please forgive me, Your Highness. Back then, because my Fire Phoenix Mountain was entrenched in this area, Lantao Island found us."
Following Zhao Qingluan's explanation, Li Ke's expression immediately darkened.
After he was hunted down, the Great Roc King of Lantao Island, Zhan Chaofan, went to various villages to continue searching for Li Ke. That was why Zhao Qingluan knew Li Ke's identity.
"How strong is this Lantao Island? Tell me!”
Zhao Qingluan nodded and introduced,"Lantao Island is very powerful. They have more than three thousand troops and are the number one faction in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. They control the smuggling of salt and are very powerful!”
More than three thousand men!
Li Ke couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. A bandit den like this actually had 3,000 troops, it was indeed not simple.
The key was that the other party actually seemed to be in contact with Li Chengqian. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chased after Li Ke. Perhaps the person who chased after him back then was from Lantao Island.
Great Roc King Zhan Chaofan!
Killing intent flashed across Li Ke's eyes. After confirming this Lantao Island, his next target was this Lantao Island.
This person controlled the illegal sale of salt, so he was probably Li Chengqian's money bag.
As long as she aborted him, she would definitely become rich overnight. At that time, she would be able to make Li Chengqian cry.
Since that was the case, he would wait for a period of time before going to destroy this Roc King!
"Wei Ling, from tomorrow onwards, your Fire Phoenix Battalion will lead the way. Quickly clean up the small factions around Pomelo Mountain. At the same time, pay close attention to the movements of the surrounding factions, especially this Lantao Island!”
Tonight's assassination was probably related to Lantao Island.
The Fire Phoenix Battalion were all locals, and they were far more familiar with the surrounding terrain than the others. With them stepping in, it would save a lot of trouble.
"His Highness wants to deal with Lantao Island!"
Zhao Qingluan's body trembled. It seemed that Li Ke was finally going to reveal his ambition. He was clearly here to unify the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
For a prince to do this, it was clear that he wanted to build a strong rear. This was a man who wanted to do great things. Now, it seemed that the information about the gold mine that he had sent out was probably what he had wanted. No wonder he had made a move so quickly.
However, there were more than three thousand people on Lantao Island. This was not a small number.
"Your Highness, this Lantao Island is not simple. Moreover, their weapons seem to be bows and crossbows, or even steel knives."
Li Ke nodded and smiled." Don't worry. They won't be my match in terms of horses." However, my identity cannot be exposed for the time being. You need to keep it a secret. If you do,"
"Don't worry, Your Highness. If I reveal it, I'm willing to die!”Zhao Qingluan shivered and quickly expressed her loyalty.
Li Ke laughed coldly,"If it gets leaked, I'll destroy the Fire Phoenix Battalion!"”
"What?"
Zhao Qingluan turned pale with fright and whispered,"What if someone else leaked it? This matter is not only known by our Fire Phoenix Mountain, right?”
"That's still your punishment!"
Ah!
......
When the military flag was planted in the entire Pomelo Mountain, the entire system finally changed, and the map became clearer.
Without anyone noticing, a camp appeared on Pomelo Mountain.
After resting in the barracks for a night, Li Ke slowly stepped onto the peak of Pomelo Mountain. The surroundings were already pitch-black, and only the top of the mountain was still green.
Because of the isolation of the mountain rocks, it was not burned, but it was already withered.
The corpses of Wang Ba and the others were laid out in the open space. Although they had escaped the pain of being burned by the fire, they were still scorched.
Judging from the degree of distortion of the corpses, one could imagine that they must have been in extreme pain and despair before they died.
"Father, your revenge has finally been taken!”
Zhao Qingluan had also led the Fiery Phoenix Troop over. Although they had not slept the entire night, they had still come to witness this moment.
A line of clear tears flowed down her beautiful eyes. If it weren't for these people, she would still be a carefree young girl living a happy life.
"You bunch of beasts, this death is your greatest punishment!”
Seeing Wang Ba's corpse, Wei Ling's eyes instantly turned red. Without caring about anything else, she directly picked up a knife and dismembered Wang Ba.
He didn't even vent his anger. He picked up a charred rock and threw it at Wang Ba and the others until they were smashed into pieces.
It was because of them that Wu Village was destroyed. Now, it was finally dead.
Many people from Wu Village followed suit. In a short while, several skeletons were dismantled. Li Ke's scalp went numb. Hatred was indeed terrifying.
However, if it were him, these people would not be able to leave their corpses intact.
"My lord, we found a lot of gold. I'm afraid it's no less than thirty thousand taels!”Li Xing ran over with a happy face. He knew Li Ke's desire for gold. With so much gold, he would definitely make a fortune.
Thirty thousand taels of gold!
Li Ke's eyes flashed with joy. With this 30,000 taels, he could totally attract a big development. It seemed that this Pomelo Mountain was not just ordinary rich.
"By the way, where did you find this gold?”
Li Xing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this. He said strangely,""This gold was found in the military advisor's room on Pomelo Mountain. There were only five thousand taels of gold in Ba Wang's room, and the rest was fifty thousand taels of silver. There was also some silk, but unfortunately, it was already charred!”
A military advisor was actually richer than Wang Ba, the boss. This made him very curious. This was very illogical.
Li Ke sighed and said,"I'm afraid that the military counselor of Pomelo Mountain is that Zhao Siwei. This gold should have been obtained from the gold mine by him!"”
"Hu Yangliu is Zhao Siwei?"
Zhao Qingluan and the others could not help but be stunned for a moment when they heard this. Then, they reacted and could not help but become murderous.
He found a fellow similar to Hu Yangliu among the corpses and carried him away. Before he left, he even greeted Li Ke. He was going to pay homage to his ancestors.
Looking at the 30,000 gold taels in front of him, Li Ke directly put them into the system.
He was thinking about how to use the gold. If he used all of it to explode weapons, he would face a problem, which was the problem of food.
The amount of rations needed for more than 30,000 people was definitely a terrifying number. There was still more than a month before the rations were ripe. This was a huge problem.
Thinking of this, he could not help but grit his teeth and open the Lord System.
"System, do you have any recommendations that can increase the strength of the Blazing Flame Army?”
"Ding! I suggest the lord open the blacksmith shop!"
"What's the use of this blacksmith shop?”
"Opening the Blacksmith Shop requires 10,000 gold coins. After opening it, as long as you have enough minerals, you can use gold points to directly wholesale weapons.”
F * ck!
It was wholesale!
Li Ke's eyes lit up. Although the blacksmiths in the past had good speed, they were still a little inferior to wholesale.
