Heroes of the Invincible Knight Chapter 5

The noon sun is warming, and the temperature in the north has been slowly warming since the end of the year.

At this time, the soldiers of Ironwood City had firmly closed the city gate. The soldiers had already stood at the battle position of the city wall according to their usual training.

Viscount Sot was also alerted, and sent two younger brothers to take some soldiers to the outer city to check. He was wearing his equipment and sitting in the castle.

"Dear, what happened."

The commotion in the castle also alarmed Richard's mother, Mrs. Kaelin.

"It's okay, it's just a black smoke, maybe some noble's guard passed by."

This is also the rule set by Richard.

There are watchtowers in many directions in Ironwood City, and beacon smoke is lit when there may be enemies.

One smoke means that the danger is not too big and you can take basic measures. Two smokes indicate that there is a strong danger. The city must be mobilized. If it is three smokes, it means that the intruder is very powerful. Get ready to break out and run for your life.

Kaelin nodded worriedly and went back to the inner house. She was a woman with general knowledge, so she naturally knew that at this time, her maids and family members who managed the inner house would be her greatest contribution.

At this time, Li Cha had already come to the outside of Ironwood City, and he was a little relieved to see the closed city gate and the billowing smoke.

If the Ironwood City guards, who had been training for so long, watched dozens of fully-armed soldiers approach without reacting at all, that would only make him angry.

"I'm Li Cha, open the city gate and lift the guard."

Thanks to the fact that there are not many guards in Ironwood City, and Richard often brushes his face in front of the soldiers, almost all the guards in Ironwood City know Richard.

After the captain of the city gate recognized that the leader was Li Cha, he decisively ordered to lift the guard and open the city gate.

Although he doesn't know where the well-equipped strange soldiers came from, the prestige that Richard has built up over the years has made him habitually carry out Richard's orders.

After entering the Ironwood City with the soldiers produced by the system, they went straight to the Ironwood Fort. The civilians looked at this small army with some curiosity. After all, these soldiers were very unfamiliar, and it was not that they were familiar with the Ironwood City guards.

"Hey, Richard, it's okay, who are they?"

Li Cha and someone happened to meet the second and third uncles who came to check the situation on the street.

"It's okay, they are soldiers I trained separately, and they are all my own."

Li Cha made two random sentences.

"How come these people have never met." The two uncles muttered suspiciously.

However, out of trust in Richard, he did not stop him, and instead joined the team and returned to the castle.

After returning to the castle, everyone was surprised by this group of well-equipped soldiers, and some even speculated that it was the guards brought by the visit of the nobles of the Marquis Palace or the royal capital.

The soldiers produced by this group are all wearing iron armor, and the three swordsmen are wearing expensive plate armor. The most perverted one is the crusaders, who wear closed helmets like an iron can.

The Ironwood City Guards under Richard are all equipped with cloth armor with high cost performance. After all, the Hunter family is not a wealthy aristocrat, so it is not realistic to equip them with expensive plate armor.

Richard could only settle for the next best thing. He gathered the half-handed blacksmiths and blacksmiths in the territory to set up the Hunter's equipment workshop, and finally fiddled with the cloth armor and the iron-bone animal skin helmet. This comprehensive cost-effective standard armor .

Without taking into account the curiosity of the people in the castle, Richard instructed the officers of the camp to settle the soldiers of the system in a separate barracks and then take the crusaders to see his father, Viscount Sot.

"Ron, when you see my father in a while, you will ignite your grudge and show your strength if you can do it."

"Um"

The crusader named Ron has a relatively quiet personality, and he doesn't speak much but gives a very solid feeling.

Soon, Richard took Ron to meet his father in the front hall of the castle.

At this moment, Viscount Sutter is still wearing armor neatly, and the plate armor and armguards have some traces of repair, but they are well maintained and still have sufficient protection.

Viscount Salter had noticed Ron beside him, and looked at Richard with some questioning in his eyes.

"His name is Ron, and he will be my lieutenant from now on."

"Where did he and the group of soldiers come from?"

Obviously, Viscount Sutter has also noticed this group of system soldiers.

Li Cha was a little hesitant when he heard the words. He prepared a lot of perfunctory words but found it difficult to say it to his father Soter.

These lies can easily be exposed. He can fool the two uncles without any burden, but he doesn't want to lie to Viscount Souter.

"Are they reliable?"

"Reliable."

"That's good."

Feeling that Richard didn't want to answer his question, Soter took the initiative to skip the topic. He had absolute trust and incomparable doting on Richard, the genius son, and believed that Richard had his own reasons for doing things.

"Father, the battle between us and the Will family should come to an end."

"Are you sure?"

Although Salter doesn't know much about territorial management, he also knows that the Hunter family and the Will family are not in harmony or even a feud.

Hunter's and Will's territories are next to each other, and Hunter's territory is next to Ironwood and further north.

Before Richard's grandfather was awarded the title of meritorious service, this large piece of land next to the ironwood forest was long regarded by the Will family as their own territory. Cross-border reclamation and cutting of ironwood for sale were the routine operations of the Will family.

It's a pity that Richard's grandfather chose this unclaimed land as his fief after he made contributions on the battlefield.

The Will family did not dare to disobey the order of the kingdom, but Liang Zi took it at that time.

The Will family has a longer inheritance. Although the family now only has one knight, Viscount Will, but there are as many as ten quasi-knights.

In the past, the Hunter family always suffered some small losses, but in the past two years, Richard has managed the Hunter leadership to be better and better, and has constantly attacked the Will family's out-of-bounds behavior. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

In particular, Richard's reduction of land taxes and standardized management of commerce has made a large number of Will's territorial residents flow to Hunter's territorial caravans and are more willing to trade in Ironwood City.

The Will family's territory is showing signs of decay, so in the past two years, the Will family's small actions have become more and more, and there have even been vicious incidents of detaining caravans and crossing the border to hunt down escaped peasants.

In general, the Will family itself is not wrong. The prosperity of Ironwood City will inevitably lead to the decline of the Will family, and further conflicts between the two sides will happen sooner or later.

"Ron"

Faced with Viscount Salt's question, Richard did not answer directly, but instead signaled to Ron.

Ron nodded when he heard the words and walked forward, a faint blue-gray grudge ignited.

Salter looked at Ron in disbelief.

"Knight?" Sutter was in disbelief.

"Yeah." Li Cha answered in the affirmative.

Salter looked at Ron and was about to say something.

"Ron, go back to the barracks first, someone will arrange a separate residence for you."

"Yes, sir."

Ron stepped back to the door, gave a respectful salute, and walked to the barracks where he came.

Listening to Ron's footsteps getting further away, Soter asked in a low voice, "Is he reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable."

"call"

Viscount Salt squeezed and squeezed his hand.

"Richard"

"Father"

"Do it according to your idea."

"Yes"

After Richard left, Viscount Souter pulled out the sword he had put away and waved it a few times as if to vent his inner restlessness. Finally, he retracted the sword and regained his calm.

"Perhaps, our Hunter family will also shake the Northland."
