Live Stream: I Am A Lord In Another World

Chapter 87 - Centaurs are here! The bandits are also here!



“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~”

In the military camp, the newly recruited militia under Richard’s command were practicing with crossbows, aiming at targets.

The crossbows, bought from the online store, were made with modern craftsmanship and had aiming settings.

The crossbows used a three-point alignment aiming method, which wasn’t too difficult to operate. It was much easier to handle than bows.

A qualified archer needs to train for over a year, and there are significant demands on their arm strength, but crossbowmen don’t need that.

When facing densely charging enemies, there’s no need to aim precisely; just shoot when ready.

As the training went on like this, the day of the bandits attack drew closer.

The surroundings of Richard’s territory seemed calm, with no signs of the bandits’ arrival.

However, Richard knew that the bandits’ main force was undoubtedly advancing towards his territory, and some had likely already infiltrated close to his domain.

Richard’s territory didn’t seem to have changed much, but all the preparations for defense had been completed in secret.

Ten scouts equipped with walkie-talkies were lurking around the territory, ready to feedback any movements immediately.

On the day before the bandits’ attack, when one of the refugee spies sent out a final signal, Richard ordered to capture all of them.

After the thirty something spies were captured, they were all dumbfounded.

They had no idea how Richard had managed to capture them so accurately.

【Haha, these kids don’t have enough brains.】

【Big confusion scene!】

In the live stream, the netizens were watching gleefully.

“Tell us everything you know,” Richard said to one of the spies.

The spy remained tight-lipped, refusing to speak.

“If you don’t talk, there’s no value in keeping you alive,” Richard said sternly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier behind the spy swiftly swung his blade and severed the spy’s head.

This dramatic scene startled the viewers in the live stream.

【Is the anchor allowed to show this much? Be careful, the live stream might get banned.】

【What’s the big deal? There have been more intense scenes before.】

Some viewers expressed concern.

Richard wasn’t worried at all. His live stream was integrated with the system and hosted on the Douyin platform, making it impossible to be forcibly shut down.

Since the start of the live stream, numerous battles, large and small, had unfolded, each depicted with bloody realism, yet Richard’s stream faced no issues.

After beheading several spies in succession, finally, one spy couldn’t hold back and spilled everything.

The information provided by these spies over the past few days was simple. They had informed some distant observers among the bandits that everything here was normal.

Hmm, this was also the reason why Richard hadn’t dealt with them earlier; he wanted them to send these signals to the bandits.

In return, the bandits had also sent a signal. They planned to launch an attack at dawn tomorrow. After the bandits launched a frontal assault, these thirty spies would sneak to the other side of the western city gate, open it, and let in the bandits lurking there.

The reason for choosing the western city gate was simple. Because not far outside the western city gate, there was a forest where the bandits could lurk.

“The western city gate?”

The city gate chosen by the bandits coincided with Richard’s earlier speculation.

“Lord, how should we deal with these people?” Legion Commander Jim asked after receiving the information.

Richard replied, “Keep them for now. They’ll be useful tomorrow.”

“Yes, my lord!”

After capturing all the spies among the refugees, that afternoon, in Richard’s new city, thousands of people began a new round of construction.

Due to the large number of people, the progress of construction was quite fast.

Before night fell, a wall nearly five meters high had been erected.

Yes, behind the western city gate, Richard had built another wall.

Taking inspiration from ancient cities from his previous life, Richard had built a barbican.

Shortly after this wall was completed, Richard received a report from his subordinates.

“Report, my lord, Lady Dorothy has arrived at the edge of the territory with a large number of centaurs. Shall we allow them in?”

“The centaurs are here?” Richard’s face lit up upon receiving this news.

“Let them in,” he ordered.

“Yes, my lord.”

His subordinate quickly informed the people at the edge of the territory to let them pass.

Before long, large groups of centaurs appeared in the central square of the new city.

The square was quite large, capable of accommodating up to a hundred thousand people without any issues.

In the square, Richard had been waiting for a while.

Apart from Richard, many fox people and minotaurs had also come.

“Master, this is Chief Okaisi of the centaurs. This is my good friend Charlotte. They’ve brought 500 centaurs to come and assess the situation,” Dorothy said to Richard as she jumped off Charlotte’s back.

As Dorothy spoke, the centaur chief was sizing up Richard.

Due to their horse bodies, centaurs were very tall, even slightly taller than minotaurs.

They were essentially a person riding on a horse, so naturally, they were taller.

However, despite their height, when they stood in front of Richard, they felt the human was no less imposing than them.

Richard personally walked forward and greeted the centaur chief, saying, “Welcome, all of you who have come from afar. I have prepared a welcome banquet for you all.”

Yes, there was no need for too many formalities with these centaurs. A direct approach was sufficient.

So, soon, large amounts of cooked meat were brought up.

Due to the scarcity of food, most of the centaurs here hadn’t had a satisfying meal. When they saw the meat, their eyes lit up.

“Wow, Lord, you’re so kind. I’ve been starving all the way here,” Charlotte exclaimed in delight before digging in.

With Charlotte leading the way, some of the centaurs who had been reserved at first also began to indulge.

The centaur chief was the last to start eating, but once he did, he couldn’t stop.

As the centaurs were feasting in the square of the new city, large numbers of bandits had quietly infiltrated the edge of Richard’s territory under the cover of night.

On a hilltop, under the night sky, a large group of bandits stood there, looking towards the city where many lights still shone.

“Is everything okay with our people inside?” one of the bandits asked.

“Yeah, everything’s fine. They only signaled us this afternoon. But boss, a few hundred demi-humans seemed to have entered his city not long ago,” another bandit said.

“Demi-humans? What are they?” the bandit leader asked.

“They should be centaurs, not many of them, just a few hundred,” the bandit replied.

The bandit leader said, “A few hundred aren’t enough to worry about. Everyone, rest here for now. When the others arrive, we’ll launch the attack before dawn tomorrow.”

“Boss, forgive me for being blunt, but why don’t we take advantage of the night and have them open the city gate for us to launch a night attack?” whispered a bandit.

“A night attack? The success rate of a night attack is indeed high, but the risk is also great. Fighting in the dark, centaurs are best at nighttime operations. The Baron here has over a hundred minotaurs. The other bandit groups will deal with them, otherwise, if they seize everything in the northeast area, what will we have left to loot?” the bandit leader explained.

“Very wise, boss.”
