Chapter 675: Zhang Cheng

After a voyage of about a year, the Count Count Celingen family fleet finally arrived at Middle-earth.

Continuing along the estuary, the fleet entered an unknown river channel.

Although it was a bit troublesome in terms of turning around, for Zhang Cheng, the ship would naturally sink when it reached the bridge, so he just had to rush forward; if it really didn't work, he would just blow it up with cannons!

Stopping by a lake, everyone planned to go ashore to rest for a while.

Four thousand people needed to leave half to hold the position and build a stronghold, so Zhang Cheng was also carefully arranging the plan.

Looking at the rough map in his hand, Zhang Cheng said, "Our current position is here, walking along here, is where again?"

"Dale, but it has already been abandoned!"

Explaining to Zhang Cheng, Lianna smiled.

"That's right, it's Dale. We will settle here first, and then slowly explore outward!"

Speaking to everyone, Zhang Cheng continued, "Hang the Count Count Celingen family flag. If anyone comes, let them come see me. After all, there are still many human kingdoms here; I don't want to cause conflicts!"

"Count, are the kingdoms here the same as our Westeros?"

Asking curiously, an attendant knight inquired.

"Should be about the same, but in terms of strength, we should be stronger!"

Revealing a smile, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but explain.

After all, referring to the Kingdom of Rohan in *The Lord of the Rings*, the total cavalry they could mobilize to meet the enemy was only about six thousand!

That was equivalent to the sum of a great family, but the problem was, in Westeros, there wasn't just one great family!

Even the Count Count Celingen family had three thousand cavalry on the chessboard; one could imagine that the humans here were beaten by orcs with their hands in their pockets, not daring to fight back!

Let the orcs go to the Westeros continent and try; never mind other great families, whether they could walk out of the North would be a problem!

After all, as the gatekeeper general, the Night King was blocked outside the Wall!

Night King: Damn me!

Orcs:.

However, just as Zhang Cheng was planning the march route, rapid hoofbeats came from outside.

Rushing in from outside, the attendant knight shouted, "Count, our soldiers have gone missing in the forest; there seem to be unknown monsters in there!"

Speaking with a serious face, the attendant knight explained.

"Monsters?"

Suddenly hearing this, Zhang Cheng immediately became serious.

"Should be monsters; after all, it is too sparsely populated here. If you want to eliminate them, you must seek the help of a witcher!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng seriously, Lianna became solemn.

"Witcher? Can a witcher be more powerful than my tiger-crouching cannons?"

Grabbing the Dragon-Slayer, Zhang Cheng immediately scolded, "Where did the person go missing? Even if he is dead, find his bones!"

"Reporting to the Count, in the swamp in the forest on the right side of the camp!"

Addressing Zhang Cheng, the attendant knight explained hurriedly.

"Damn it, I told you all to be careful when scouting!"

Walking out of the tent angrily, Zhang Cheng roared, "Have someone bring the tiger-crouching cannons over. I don't care what it is, flatten that swamp for me!"

Following Zhang Cheng's order, the soldiers began to take action.

Just as a large number of soldiers appeared carrying tiger-crouching cannons, Zhang Cheng had people cut down the surrounding trees to advance.

In the dark forest, the cold wind blew, making people feel afraid.

But just as they arrived at the swamp, Zhang Cheng immediately raised his arm and roared, "Fire!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The tiger-crouching cannons were set down, firing in three volleys, and fifteen cannonballs immediately emitted a violent roar.

Just as the flames rolled up, the surroundings seemed to become noisy.

"Roar!"

Emitting a hysterical roar, a giant human-faced octopus spider rushed out of the swamp.

Looking at this ghost thing, the Count Count Celingen family soldiers were surprised, because they really hadn't seen this kind of thing on the Westeros continent.

The people on Middle-earth were truly tough, living with this kind of thing, not afraid of being gutted one day.

And just at the moment the monster appeared, one of its legs seemed to have been blown off, and it was rushing toward the crowd crazily.

Facing this scene, Zhang Cheng roared, "Fire!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Aiming quickly, after the tiger-crouching cannons were leveled, they began to fire in volleys directly.

"Boom boom boom!" Under the huge explosion, the human-faced octopus spider screamed, its body becoming tattered and broken, falling to the ground and roaring.

Facing the howling of the human-faced octopus spider, Zhang Cheng drew the Dragon-Slayer in his hand and said, "This native looks really ugly!"

"Whoosh!"

The Dragon-Slayer slashed down, and the human-faced octopus spider immediately stopped moving.

Just as Zhang Cheng thought everything was handled, Lianna beside him said, "I remember, this kind of thing is a Kikimore..."

"And then? What does it have to do with anything?"

Asking Lianna, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but joke.

"Kikimores usually don't exist alone; they are in groups..."

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Lianna finished this sentence with a twitching mouth.

And just at this moment, the earth seemed to shake, and countless octopus spider monsters rushed out of the forest.

When Zhang Cheng saw this scene, he immediately roared, "Signal! Have the cannons on the ship aim at the forest!"

Just as the messenger behind him heard this, the soldiers behind immediately took out signal flares.

"Whoosh!"

Crimson flames appeared in the sky, and the *Dawn* and galleons on the lake in the distance opened their wooden boards.

Just as countless cannon muzzles appeared, Zhang Cheng held the Dragon-Slayer, blocking in front of the Kikimores, slashing and killing them continuously.

!

Watching the fallen Kikimores still rushing up bloodthirstily, Zhang Cheng also hurriedly rushed out of the forest.

Because for him, fighting this group of irrational beasts was too troublesome; it was better to treat them to a firework show.

"Fire!"

Roaring, Zhang Cheng slashed the Dragon-Slayer in his hand fiercely.

And just as the signal flare lit up, a roaring sound resounded through the sky.

Just as the Kikimores rushed up angrily, cannonballs like a rainstorm suddenly fell from the sky.

"Boom boom boom!"

Violent flames swept through the forest, and all the Kikimores were blown to pieces in an instant.

Looking at this scene in shock, Ashara covered her mouth and said, "My god, this is more terrifying than the power of a dragon!"

"Even a dragon is just a toy in front of it!"

Revealing a smile, Zhang Cheng knew too well the terror of the King of War!

In the burning flames, Zhang Cheng stood in place holding the Dragon-Slayer, unable to see a single Kikimore that could stand up.

At this moment, he looked ahead, only wanting to roar: "Who else!"

"Didn't you say this was a firework display device?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng in shock, Lianna was dumbfounded.

"Right, we watch the fireworks, they wait for death!"

Revealing a smile, Zhang Cheng turned around and said, "Build defenses to prevent any living Kikimores from rushing into the camp!"

"Yes, Count!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the Count Count Celingen family soldiers nodded immediately.

After all, in their minds, if the Kikimores could break through the cannons on the warship, then it would really be hell.

Returning to the camp, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but exhale and say, "The local natives are really too impolite!"

But hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Lianna said, "I think we should bring more firework display devices when we go out!"

"Hmm?"

Looking at Lianna suspiciously, Zhang Cheng was surprised.

"It's very safe this way, isn't it?"

Revealing a smile, Lianna's eyes began to shine.
