Heroes of the Invincible Knight

Li Cha, who led the pure system army, marched at a very fast speed, especially after Li Cha handed over the knight gloves, speed cloak, and god walking boots to Sir Mrak after setting off, and temporarily After he became the leading hero, the marching speed of the entire team has exceeded the limit that normal troops can understand.

Especially the crusaders wrapped in iron armor, because the frequency of their steps was too fast, the armor on their bodies kept making noises of friction, making it easy to doubt whether there were people inside or puppets under the iron armor. The speed of these infantry has even surpassed that of the mobile light cavalry, and they marched to the river valley 300 kilometers away in one day.

The chaos in the River Valley has subsided for more than two months. Although some nobles who have lost their privileges still hold grudges against the Hunter family, they can only choose to cooperate and surrender in the face of the bloody reality.

Moreover, the Hunter family did not only use high-pressure suppression methods. After Molly left, the new Lady Catherine began to use appeasement methods. As long as they abide by the rules of the Hunter family, these former nobles in the valley can also have a little bit of sweetness. try it.

There is no hope of rebellion, and the Hunter family is not blindly killing them all. Whether they want to or not, the nobles who survived the Morrill Purge began to actively cooperate with Catherine's management, and in order to integrate into the new family more quickly. In the system, they are more cooperative than the nobles in the Northland.

Now the city of Burleigh is as prosperous as it used to be, the streets are still full of people coming and going at night, and even some small towns around the city of Burleigh are also showing vitality. Catherine is indeed an internal affairs point full of heroes.

In a vast castle in the city of Burleigh, Li Cha was sitting on a soft sofa, and the maid on the side peeled one or two seasonal fruits for him from time to time, and put them into his mouth.

The charcoal stove in the house was burning, and Li Cha was warming a small pot of hot tea on it, and it was raining lightly outside, which was very tiresome.

This was the first rain in autumn, and Li Cha met him. As soon as he arrived in Bolai City, the temperature also dropped sharply. Under the kind invitation of Dane, the snake in the river valley, and the nobles, Li Cha did not come again. Stubbornly insisting on driving on a rainy night, he simply stayed in the city overnight to rest.

The interior of this castle is luxuriously decorated, with velvet carpets and expensive furniture. The ordinary nobles really can’t afford it. The owner of the castle was one of the talkers of Burleigh City and a member of the Burleigh Twelve Round Table Conference.

It's just that now the Burley Twelve Family has long been a thing of the past, and most of them have disappeared, and most of them have become Molier's ghosts, rushing to start their lives again.

This family is relatively knowledgeable about current affairs. It was the first to cooperate with the Hunter family in all actions, but it survived successfully. After handing over a large amount of occupied land, it basically kept its own property in the city. This character is reflected to the extreme, and actively cooperates in everything.

This time, I heard that Richard was going to rest for a night when he was passing through Burleigh City, so he took the initiative to vacate the castle and invited Richard to live in the castle.

"Master Li Cha, we will prepare a banquet and dance later."

"Viscount Ander is too polite, but I won't drink alcohol when I am out on the march. I will go back to rest later, and accept everyone's hospitality when I come back."

Viscount Ander is the owner of this castle. Because he vacated the castle specially, he sat in a position closer to Richard in the hall. Only after Catherine and Dane, other people who came to give gifts to flatter him The aristocrats could only sit far away, and Li Cha hadn't looked at them a few times, so they could only laugh awkwardly behind them.

"Then I wish Sir Richard the best of luck. Sir, rest early tonight. Viscount Ander has already prepared the room and hot water in the room."

Seeing what Viscount Ander wanted to say, Dane, who was sitting a little ahead, had blocked Ander's words in advance.

In terms of understanding of Li Cha, the nobles in this hall are not as good as Dane. Although Li Cha enjoys it, he never delays the business. It was impossible for Li Cha to enjoy the banquet and dance until midnight with a group of newly recruited nobles.

After finishing speaking, Dane simply led the nobles of the River Valley out of the castle. He could already see some impatience in Richard's gentle attitude.

After the nobles left the castle, Li Cha took a bath and rested under the service of the maid.

This is the advantage of being a superior person. Most of the time, you can follow your own thoughts, and the people below will continue to speculate on your thoughts, which is quite beautiful.

Li Cha, who had been on a long journey for a day, returned to the room under the guidance of the maid and fell asleep on the big soft bed. The two outstanding swordsmen who took turns guarding outside the house ensured that Li Cha could sleep peacefully.

Early in the morning of the second day, the light rain continued to fall. The weather is not suitable for marching, but this will not affect the actions of Li Cha's army. So he took the army on the journey again, and he planned to meet with the half-elves and kobolds led by Gru before arriving at Dragon's Breath Pass.

…

a week later...

Central Great Plains

An army is moving with difficulty. The scope of influence of this autumn rain is extremely wide. Except for some areas in the western region, the entire kingdom is basically under the influence of this autumn rain.

Gru looked at the falling raindrops, his face was full of worry. The first half of the march was smooth. Although the weather was a little hotter, the soldiers were all in good health, especially those kobolds who didn't know why it was hard. things.

Marching nearly 100 kilometers a day, all the way from the north to the central plain. The only obstacle on the road is that the members of this army are too strange. Although the three-arrow flag of the Hunter family is unimpeded in the north and the valley, but after arriving in the central plains, the effect of the three-arrow flag is not enough. It aroused the vigilance of the nobles along the road. After all, no one can let this army of more than 10,000 people who are not even human beings act freely on their own territory.

Fortunately, besides Gru, there was Kuz, the liaison officer in the team. Not only did Kuz carry a token, but he, as Thor's trusted general, also had a certain reputation in the Central Plains. Whenever Kuz came forward at this time Coordination, although the local garrison army had some doubts, but Kurz had enough face and brought a token, so there was no trouble, and he marched smoothly in the central plain for a period of time.

Until this week, the continuous autumn rain came. Although they brought some rain-proof equipment, the marching speed of the army was still affected. The most important thing was the wooden barrels on the cart. After a week of rain, even if it was covered with raincloth, Gelu couldn't guarantee that these black powders would be as dry as ever when they arrived at Longxi Pass.

"Why did it stop again!"

"Wow! Wow!"

"Master Gru, the wheel of the cart behind is stuck again, everyone is pushing it out!"

Gru looked back, and sure enough, a cart full of wooden barrels had sunk into the mud. The roads in the Central Great Plains were not as good as those in the Northland. Except for the roads closer to the capital, the quality of other places was uneven. , although the width of some road sections is the same as the unified straight road of the kingdom, the road surface is full of potholes. I don't know where the kingdom's annual road repair money is spent.

Usually when the road surface is dry, it’s okay, and the impact is not big, but when it rains for several days in a row, these worrying roads become the biggest obstacle to marching, and the wheels of the cart are always stuck. Going in, it took a dozen kobolds and pack horses to wait for a long time to get out of the pit, which seriously affected the speed of marching.

Faced with this kind of thing, Gelu had no good solution, he could only order his men to push the cart out as soon as possible and march at a faster speed.

"General Kutz, how long will it be before we get to the Dragon's Rest?"

"We've already walked more than half of the way. The rest of this is the plain, and we can reach Longxi Pass directly by one road. It will take us ten days at most."

Compared to Gru's worries, Kurz's mood was not greatly affected, because the marching speed of the army led by Gru completely exceeded his expectations.

If these kobolds hadn't been too small in size and strength, they would be the best soldiers. They wouldn't complain or get tired along the way, and they didn't complain at all when they did the dirtiest and tiring jobs. The army saved a lot of time, even if it encountered this autumn rain, it could arrive at Longxi Pass earlier than expected.

"Then it seems that Sir Richard and the others should catch up."

"How is it possible? He set off more than ten days later than us. At our speed, he might not be able to catch up to us when we reach Dragon's Breath Pass."

"With Mrak that guy around, anything is possible."

Kuz has never seen the marching action of the system army under the addition of treasures and logistics skills, which can be called a ghost, but Gru, as an old acquaintance of Mrak, naturally knows the speed at which the other party leads the army. Counting the distance, it's time to catch up in the next few days.

"General Grew, there is an army approaching fast behind us!"

"What's going on, didn't I just say hello to the garrison nearby?"

After Gru said something that seemed a little thoughtless to Kurtz, before he had time to think about it, a half-elf scout came to report that other troops were approaching. Kurtz subconsciously thought that this was another nearby garrison It was discovered that this strange army came to check.

The army still put up a defensive formation as usual to deal with the possible battle at any time, but a few minutes later, another scout rushed over and shouted.

"It's the Three Arrows Flag! It's Sir Li Cha!"

In fact, there is no need for him to make a special report, because everyone has already seen the more than 20 dragons that are very conspicuous in midair. Now, except for the Hunter family, no other force in the kingdom can produce so many dragons. …

As people in the Northland, whether it is the system army or the ordinary army, or these kobolds, they have no sense of Li Cha's abnormality at all, or Li Cha's abnormality has become a normal.

But although Kurz often hears some bizarre things about Richard, he is far away after all, and the three views have not been distorted by Richard. The fact that he marched more than a thousand kilometers this week is really not acceptable to Kurz. He even guessed whether it was because Li Cha set off early according to the agreed time, so that he could catch up so quickly.

…

"Da da da…"

In addition to the volleying dragon, the first to arrive at the rendezvous with Gru was the team of champion knights surrounded by Richard, followed by the one-horned holy beast and a large group of centaur teams, among which the centaur team automatically divided into two when they met They spread out towards the two wings of the convoy, forming two cavalry groups responsible for scouting and covering the army. Although the possibility of being attacked on this central plain is almost zero, the tactical layout must be strictly carried out. Some high-ranking troops came to the middle of the team to meet Gru and Kurtz.

"Master Li Cha!"

"Master Li Cha!"

"Um."

Due to the weather, Richard's system army was less affected. Under the leadership of Sir Mrak, they still marched at the fastest speed, but Gru's side was delayed, and Richard pursued faster than expected. On the army.

Grew and Kurtz greeted Richard respectively. Before Kurtz could ask questions, Grew first reported the situation on the road to Richard.

"Master Richard, it has been raining for too long recently, the black powder we transported may have been damp."

The dampness of the black powder is also expected by Li Cha. In the recent weather, let alone the black powder in the wooden barrel, Li Cha, who has been drenched in the rain for a week, feels that he is getting wet, let alone the black powder in the wooden barrel. up.

But this time, we arrived at Longxiguan ahead of time anyway, so we didn't need to use wet black powder directly to prepare for the battle. As long as the rain didn't last for two or three months, we could just wait until the weather was fine to dry, and the impact wouldn't be too great.

"Nothing, just tie it up with a raincloth and protect it as much as possible. We'll deal with it when we arrive at Dragon's Breath Pass. Stop and set up camp first. Let's take a rest overnight after joining the camp. Let's continue marching tomorrow."

"Yes, my lord."

It was not early at all, if there was no order from Li Cha, Gelug would have ordered to set up camp in the next section. In any era, it is not necessary to raise the army day and night. Even if there is no night blindness, the army can maintain the formation. Soldiers are easily exhausted.

Following the orders of Richard and Gru, some kobolds began to dig simple horse traps and trenches on the spot, while the rest took materials from the carts and pitched tents on the spot. The division of labor is very clear, completely different from those messy kobolds in the wilderness.

Li Cha, a few Kurtz and a few heroes held a short meeting in the temporary big tent, and then ordered everyone to go to rest. Kurtz, who was not very used to Richard's style, did not get interjected questions from the beginning to the end. I just stared at the general named Mrak the whole time as if he wanted to see something, which made Sir Mrak, who had a somewhat stinky personality, feel a little nervous, and began to wonder if his charm had grown so fast recently that even men I can attract...
