When the system warned him, Richard was instructing the blacksmiths at the forging.

During this period, with Richard's guidance and the participation of the younger generation, the sparks of everyone's thoughts kept colliding, and the forging skills were greatly improved.

Two or three blacksmiths could even occasionally successfully forge a piece of primary extraordinary equipment.

Extraordinary materials are scarce products, so it is naturally impossible for them to practice, but the scraps left over from Richard's forging can be tried to be integrated into some better materials.

Unexpectedly, it was successful.

If they can succeed in this way, then it is only a matter of time before they can use extraordinary materials to forge equipment. They just need to consolidate their new knowledge a little bit.

Richard was also telling them these methods before.

But the warning at this time made Richard stop immediately.

Pirates?

Why are there pirates here?

Richard was a little confused.

Although he is not far from the seaside, it can even be said that if his territory is fully developed, there will naturally be industries on the seaside.

After all, the edge of one of his territories is also adjacent to the coastline.

But this place is hundreds of kilometers away from the seaside. How can pirates find this place?

Are the castles by the sea not enough for them to rob? Or do these pirates want to go ashore and develop?

Interesting.

And before, there were only two warnings, but this time, there were even three warnings, which was unprecedented!

It was also specifically stated that it was a difficult mode campaign?

How difficult was it?

Then, Richard began to check the system data.

The world he lived in currently had a total of six or seven kingdoms, which was not a lot, but even so, it was a mess.

The loyalty of the lords to the king was not high. There were several kingdoms whose kings were even just a mascot and a symbol.

In this way, although there were only six or seven kingdoms, they were actually equivalent to dozens of forces.

And under these dozens of forces, there were countless small lord forces, which were vassalized by each other and had complicated relationships.

Occasionally, there would even be some disputes of varying sizes.

Only one or two kingdoms had a strong control over the forces in the territory, and more than half of the titles were conferred by the royal family themselves. After all, this was a minority.

The kingdom where Richard was located was the majority.

But in general, the kingdoms were trying to maintain a superficial decency.

After all, there were not only humans in this world.

They need to be on guard.

In addition to the power of the kingdom, there is also the power of the Holy See.

The influence of the Holy See in each kingdom is different.

Some kingdoms are called kingdoms, but in fact they have become vassals of the Holy See. Even the coronation ceremony of the king's accession to the throne, if there is no approval from the Pope, is not qualified to become a real king.

In this case, the king can only kneel and lick.

And this kind of kneeling and licking king is just an obedient dog in front of the Pope.

Even after ascending the throne, he will be controlled by the Holy See.

This is the so-called divine right of kings.

In addition to the Holy See, there is also the Holy See State across the strait.

Although this world is very different from his original world, there are also places that can be combined and understood.

It stands to reason that there is a Holy See with such a huge influence here, so how can there be a Holy See State?

What is the relationship between them?

If we use the history of the original world, it will be easier to understand. In the early Roman Empire, after Constantine made the church the state religion in 333 AD, the power of the Holy See had already begun to sprout.

The priests who were hunted and hid everywhere before 333 can finally stand in the sun with their pale faces due to hiding in the catacombs for many years.

However, due to their long-term hunting, their numbers are very small, and the huge Roman Empire has various preferential policies for the church. There are even official crackdowns on paganism.

In this way, the entire huge Roman Empire, no matter what religion, has changed its beliefs. However, due to the scarcity of regular priests, it is impossible to teach all the churches in the entire huge Roman Empire, so these people still use their original religious methods to worship and pray, which is very strange.

Even a group of people who were originally human were made into idols for worship.

Even the birthday of the sun god has been turned into Christmas, which is very outrageous.

But after being outrageous for a long time, everyone has gotten used to it.

The Roman Empire established cathedrals in five cities at that time.

There was a bishop in each of the five cathedrals, and there was no so-called pope at that time.

Later, the Roman Empire split into East and West Rome, and the five cathedrals were also separated geographically.

The Western Roman Church is known as the Holy See, while the Eastern Roman Church, which claims to be orthodox, is called the Eastern Orthodox Church, or Eastern Orthodox for short.

The Eastern Orthodox Church later developed with the Mao Xiong Country as the center, and there is even a very famous city called St. Petersburg.

This is also one of the reasons why the Mao Xiong Country and Western countries have always been at odds with each other in later generations.

Although they inherited the same belief, they are two theocratic forces.

In this world, there are also two Holy Sees.

One is the Holy See of this continent, which controls or influences the major kingdoms, and the other is the Holy See across the strait.

Perhaps, it is easier to understand them as the Eastern Orthodox group.

Richard has never been to the Holy See, and his understanding of this aspect in his previous life was only partly known.

As for why the Eastern Orthodox slowly migrated to the north and arrived in Mao Xiong, he only guessed that it might be because the power of Mao Xiong could give them more shelter and use.

In this world, they are currently still on the other side of the strait, which is equivalent to the position of the Eastern Roman Empire in the past. In addition to the Holy See, there are also barbarians and the Ice and Snow Country in the north.

Richard didn't know much about them, and he didn't even know if the barbarians were equivalent to the bears, and what the ice and snow country was.

Of course, this could also be a country unique to this fantasy world. As for whether the Holy See and the bears had any contact or cooperation, it was too far away to say at the moment.

However, Richard was able to see this information from the system, and he also reviewed the general situation of the world structure.

Among the seven kingdoms, he didn't know the specific situation of other kingdoms, but the kingdom where Richard was located was often plundered by pirates.

The previous lord of the Long Eagle Territory was transferred by the king to fight against a group of extremely powerful pirates who landed on the battlefield of another territory.

It was also in that battle that the former lord of the Long Eagle Territory was killed.

If you look at it from this perspective, the pirate force can also be regarded as a major force in this world.

It's just that the pirate forces are too loose as a whole, and they only occasionally cooperate with each other to carry out some large-scale wars.

This situation is rare in a hundred years.

It happened to the former lord of the Long Eagle Territory, so it was a good opportunity for Richard to take over this piece of land.

Richard knew that his father, Duke Ge Wen, could arrange him to this place where no one lives, so even if the former lord of the Long Eagle Territory did not die, he would still be arranged to other similar remote places.

It is said to be a fiefdom, but in fact it is no different from exile.

Fortunately, Richard's means and strength are good. Relying on the power of the system, he has developed step by step to today. Even this Long Eagle Territory has such a large amount of salt and iron mines. For Richard, it is a blessing in disguise.

At this time, the map on the system interface was enlarged.

Richard could clearly see that in the jungle a hundred miles away, on the river, five pirate ships were slowly sailing towards this side.

According to common sense, pirate ships are generally difficult to sail in the river. (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

However, these pirate ships were obviously specially modified. I don’t know whether it is to facilitate avoiding reefs or to facilitate entering inland rivers. In short, they had a smooth journey.

This is not a good thing for Richard.

Difficult battle?

Richard thought about the current growth of his militiamen and suddenly felt that this might be a good opportunity to train soldiers.

He never liked to complain about the environment, and he was always good at seizing opportunities.

The functions attached to the militia training camp given by the system only forced the militiamen to improve their understanding and learn a lot of skills.

But it is just like going to school. Learning a lot of knowledge does not mean that this knowledge can be used by people. It can only be seen in real combat.

Richard, based on this understanding, taught them breathing techniques to increase their capital, and at the same time seized every opportunity to train them.

From personally leading the team to clear out the extraordinary creatures in the forest, to later leading the team to eliminate the swamp creatures, and then to later Richard no longer leading the team, letting them carry out the task of clearing the forest by themselves.

They have grown along the way.

Since there is such an opportunity in front of them, even if it is a tough battle for the militia, he will not let them miss it.

Richard even has a crazier idea - everyone is a soldier!

500 militiamen can no longer satisfy him..........

With a limited population, everyone must be a brick, and be moved wherever they are needed!

This is true for harvesting and war!

During the Anti-Japanese War, our Boy Scouts joined the army at the age of 8, and made various contributions and sacrificed their lives for the country.

Richard's subjects are loyal, but it is only based on the happiness index of life, and is compared with the consequences of his previous laziness.

This loyalty is rootless and is not engraved in the soul.

Richard needs their loyalty to be deeper.

That is to let them see the cruelty of foreign enemies.[]

At this time, the blacksmith beside him saw that Richard had suddenly stopped teaching and asked in confusion:

"Lord, what's wrong? Did we write it wrong?

Richard came back to his senses and waved his hand.

"No! There are foreign enemies coming!"

Richard's voice was not loud, but the entire forging place suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at Richard, waiting for his next instruction.

"From now on, everyone stop what they are doing and start making barbed wire immediately. All barbed wire must have barbs!

Once it is finished, send it to the dock immediately!"

"Yes!"

No one asked why, and they all started to work!

After Richard gave them his orders, he left the forge immediately.

On the way to the militia training camp, he rode his horse while telling his men to let General Ali gather the people and go to the militia training camp to find him.

At the same time, he asked his men to ring the alarm bell in the castle.

As he spoke, he had already arrived at the military camp.

"Charles! Order everyone to prepare for battle! Shield formation and spearmen cooperate in the battle!"

""Yes!"

Soon, the militiamen appeared in front of Richard with their equipment.

Two hundred spearmen and three hundred shieldmen.

This was so that when the phalanx was assembled, the spearmen could be protected by the shieldmen in all directions.

At the same time, a long sword was inserted into the handle of the shield. In other words, the shield was both a shield and a scabbard.

It was convenient for them to draw the long sword to fight when needed.

The shield designed by Richard for them was a full meter high. Based on their physical fitness, this weight was nothing to them.

At this time, all the knights who heard the alarm also rushed over, and everyone was dressed in armor and ready for battle.

Hinton came over with the children, and then Ali gathered all the people.

At this time, Richard took the time to look at the system map, and there was still plenty of time.

So he ordered:

"Ali, send someone with a bullock cart to transport all the barbed wire from the blacksmith shop to the dock."

"Everyone bring tools, go to the riverside to dig a hole to make a trap, and insert wooden spikes at the bottom of the hole!"

"All women, immediately boil water and cook cloth strips. If someone gets injured, these cloth strips can be used as bandages!"

"Charles, destroy the weapons warehouse in the training camp, drag 4,000 spears to the river, and give them to them after the traps and barbed wire are set up!"

"The older ones and those under thirteen years old, you are the third echelon, and everyone must take part in this battle!"

""Yes!"

Although everyone didn't understand, they still agreed very straightforwardly.

Especially those subjects, they didn't expect that they would be able to participate in the war and become soldiers one day, but they didn't expect that they would have to face actual combat for the first time as a soldier.

Although they were nervous, no one had any doubts about Richard's habitual execution of orders.

At this time, Cinderella came over and asked:

"Master, do I need to do anything?"

Richard waved his hand immediately after hearing this:

"You don't have to do anything this time, give them some opportunities to practice!"

""Yes! Master!" Cinderella immediately lowered her head.

In her opinion, since the people had enjoyed so many benefits, it was only right for the master to give everything when he needed it.

Richard looked at everyone again and said:

"This time, I will deal with the enemy leader, and the rest of you will have to rely on your own strength. As the people of my Long Eagle Territory, all of you will see blood!

As for the enemy, they are the brutal pirates on the sea, the Red Devil Dogan!

Facing this person, you have no way out. Once we fail, you will all be killed, and the entire Long Eagle Territory will be burned to ashes!

Are you ready for a fight to the death?"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!" the crowd shouted

"Very good, the whole army will set off!"

Richard immediately gave the order.
