Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Dragon City

It has been a long time since spring, and the temperature has basically warmed up. Pedestrians on the street are dressed chaotically, some are still wearing long-sleeved robes, and some have already put on unlined clothes.

The market is still bustling, businessmen come and go, teahouses and restaurants are full of guests, and the citizens of Jinlongdu are always more willing to discuss state affairs. Naturally, the top priority of the day is the appearance of orcs in the north.

About 20 days have passed since the orcs appeared in Hunter's Territory. At that time, there were many caravans coming and going in Hunter's Territory. Richard didn't bother to block any news. He returned to Golden Dragon City a few days ago. The caravan brought the news,

Things involving orcs are more likely to attract people's attention. It took less than ten days for the first caravan to return to the Golden Dragon, and most people knew about the orcs appearing in the Northland.

Although the orcs did not cause much movement this time, they were quickly suppressed by Richard. The damage to the Northland was completely incomparable with the last time the ogres moved eastward.

But the shock to the capital was far greater than the eastward advance of the ogre, and even Shengdou Xiaomin felt the threat.

"Tell me, is it true or not that the orc appeared in the Northland?"

"Can this be fake? My cousin's neighbor's son works in a fur shop. Their family's caravan just came back from the Northland. I heard from them that the orcs also tried to attack Ironwood City. In the end, Master Richard brought The soldiers were wiped out, and they still waited for the orcs to be wiped out before leaving Ironwood City, and when they left, they saw the heads of the orcs being loaded into the carts."

"Then it seems that the orcs are nothing more than that."

"Fart! Who is Marquis Li Cha? He is the most powerful man in the kingdom, comparable to a dragon knight. If it weren't for Master Li Cha being strong enough, I think the Northland would be suspended this time."

"No matter how strong Mr. Li Cha is, there is only one person. I heard that there are not many orcs coming this time. If there are more, can Mr. Li Cha stop it?"

"That's right, what do you think the big shots in the palace will do?"

"What else can I do? Master Richard will become a dragon knight. At worst, he will order the River Valley and the Lancet family to support him."

"Just like the bear in the Lancet family?"

The last time the Lanster family suffered a disastrous defeat when the ogre moved eastward, it made them notorious. In fact, the Jingbei army that the Lanster family has rebuilt now is at least as strong as the Kingdom's regular army, perhaps even stronger than the southern army. The average level of the Corps is a bit stronger, but when you fail, no one will care about your past glory, and will only remember your latest fiasco.

Now, in the eyes of the citizens of the royal capital, the Lanster family is a weakling who was defeated by the uncivilized savages of the wilderness ogres.

But not long afterward, Li Cha led someone to remove Grugesh's two heads, and later took over the opponent's lair. Everything seemed so easy, which made the Lancet family even more useless. .

"Otherwise? Are you really going to fight the orcs in the wild?"

To fight against orcs, you can only rely on dangerous castles in the general direction. This is the common sense of human beings in this era. I have long forgotten how the human coalition forces fought against the orcs on the plains in the age of Aragon.

All the people in Shengdou have this kind of view, not to mention the big shots in the palace, even Sol, he is not willing to lead people to a decisive battle with the orcs in the wild unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Your Majesty, I think no matter how the orcs got here, what we need to do now is to immediately strengthen Zhenbei Pass!"

"Yes, Prime Minister Right is right. The defense of Zhenbei Pass should be strengthened immediately, and the river valley should be ordered to carry out reinforcement work, and then the army should be deployed to strengthen the defense of the river valley."

This is the first time that the big shots of the kingdom have formally discussed the appearance of orcs in the Northland. The left and right factions have reached a tacit agreement on this matter from the very beginning, which is to immediately strengthen the defense of Zhenbei Pass.

As for the life and death of the Northland, it is not within the scope of their discussion at all, because if the orcs can appear directly in the Northland, the Northland has no danger at all. Except for the colder weather, the Northland is actually a reduced version of the Central Plains ,

To go all the way south to the river valley, there will be a natural barrier of Zhenbei Pass. This pass, which was not very important at first, has now become the most mentioned place name in this discussion.

"We can support some supplies from the river valley to the Northland, and order the Hunter family and the Lanster family to stand firm. The orcs should not have many troops coming from the extreme northern snowfield. Maybe the Northland can hold on by themselves."

"Uncle Saul, what do you think?"

Ren didn't express his opinion immediately, but first asked Saul for his opinion.

"Your Majesty, I think we should make two-handed preparations. Taking advantage of the orc's unstable foothold, send a large army into the north to prepare for the battle, and at the same time strengthen the defense of Zhenbei Pass."

"Master Saul, while strengthening the defense of Zhenbei Pass, you also need to send troops to the Northland? I'm afraid that both sides will not be able to take care of it at that time."

"I don't think Northland should be given up easily."

"This is not giving up. It will allow the River Valley to provide sufficient material support."

"Okay, okay, let's order 40,000 people from the First and Second Corps of the Imperial Army to go to Zhenbei Pass to consolidate the defense of Zhenbei Pass. The follow-up will depend on the situation. On the other hand, the river valley will send part of the supplies, and the kingdom will send some support. Northland, let them stick to the Northland, and don't let the orcs cross."

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Rennes decided the final result of the debate, and Sol's attitude is not firm. It is true that the kingdom's military strength is insufficient. Don't look at the millions of standing troops in a huge kingdom, but when it comes to use, you will find that there are no soldiers anywhere. easy to move,

The army of Longxi Pass must not be moved easily. The more than one million Southern Army Corps must guard against both the swamp creatures and the Naga in the sea, and there are not many troops to move.

Those in the west are Duke Ross's private soldiers, and they don't have to mobilize bad rules in the Kingdom as a last resort. As for the security forces and garrison troops in various places, everyone knows their combat effectiveness from top to bottom, and no one will count on it.

In the end, we could only transfer some people from the Imperial Guard to the emergency. At least this army can fight, but the number is insufficient, so we don't consider supporting the Northland for the time being.

"Okay, the next thing, this time our kingdom's number one expert, Marquis Richard, has made great achievements again, nearly a thousand orc heads, and the head of the orc army is inside, and the dragon's breath will not come out for a year There are so many orc heads, let's see how to reward them."

"Reward 10,000 kinnars, let's add some fiefdoms."

"I think it should be..."

This credit is actually rather embarrassing. It is impossible for the Duke, but it is unreasonable to dismiss it casually. It mainly depends on Ren's intentions.

"Why don't we just reward Richard with 10,000 gold coins, make Zebul, Hardman and others viscounts, and... barons."

"Your Majesty is wise..."

When everyone was shouting that His Majesty is wise, they actually felt a little smell in their hearts. Seeing that His Majesty conferred two viscounts and several barons out so generously, but the territories were all belonged to the Hunter family by default before. The land of the Lord, this is transferred again through this hand. It seems to be a contribution, but it is actually some eye drops for Li Cha. It really is a companion like a tiger. He was a new favorite before. The treatment has changed.

It's just that Ren and the ministers in the palace don't know that, except for Hardemen, the list reported by Li Cha is all fighters produced by the system. There is not much difference between giving them the fiefdom and giving it to Li Cha, and it is even disgusting. not really...
