Heroes of the Invincible Knight

"Lord Hussein, according to the information sent by the brothers in the River Valley Diocese, the target has already left Burleigh City, and it is estimated that he will arrive in two days."

"Um"

The man named Hussein nodded perfunctorily, hummed, and seemed a little absent-minded.

As the contemporary knight commander of the Rising Sun Cult, Hussein is one of the few powerhouses that the church can take out.

At the beginning of the Golden Dragon Kingdom, the Rising Sun Sect was suppressed by the founding monarch, Charlemagne I.

There are also several kings of the kingdom who have unswervingly implemented the ancestral precepts left by Charlemagne I, and have always maintained a high-pressure policy against the Sun God Sect.

Compared with hundreds of years ago, the power of the Rising Sun Sect is extremely weak.

However, the Rising Sun Sect was, after all, the largest religion of the human race, and even cooperated with Charlemagne I in the founding battle of the Golden Dragon Kingdom.

Originally, Charlemagne I accepted the position of the state religion of the Rising Sun Cult. However, after completing the great cause of expelling the orcs, Charlemagne I started the brutal suppression of the Rising Sun Cult.

However, the Rising Sun God Sect has a lot of believers among human beings, and the Kingdom has never been able to completely wipe it out.

After the Rising Sun Sect had collided with the regular army of the kingdom for several times, they also realized that they could not be the opponent of the regular army of the kingdom.

Most of the time, the Rising Sun God Sect is trying not to cause the kingdom to develop dormantly,

Now he has managed a lot of power secretly, and gradually regained some vitality,

Knight Commander Hussein is one of the church's trump cards.

The Knights of Disciplinary Order was the main force of the church back then, and it was also one of the few church armed forces that could fight against the elite regular army of the kingdom.

Although the scale of the Retribution Knights is not the same as it was back then, Hussein's position as the Knight Commander of the Retribution Knights also shows its strength from the side.

Under the order of the Pope, Hussein brought nearly one-third of the elite knights to live in the small town of Ridge, a few hundred kilometers south of the valley.

This small town is located on the only way from the river valley to Jinlongdu. It will take a day or two to bypass the small town of Ridge.

Richard currently has no reason or need to go around the town,

As long as they wait here, they can almost 100% wait until the target falls into the net, and the church can re-develop under the siege of the kingdom. There is indeed something,

Li Cha's whereabouts were almost counted by them. Perhaps the only mistake was the wrong estimation of the strength of Li Cha's guards.

After all, both Zebul and Manticore have only appeared in the wilderness, and the only ones they have seen are ogres and soldiers of Richard's system. It is impossible for any news to come out. No matter how strong the church's intelligence capabilities are, it is useless.

"Lord Hussein?"

Probably seeing that the knight commander was absent-minded, the subordinates shouted again.

"Well, I see."

Hussein was indeed thinking about other issues, he was a little worried about this operation,

His worry is not about the success or failure of this operation. In his eyes, with him and dozens of knight elites taking action, it is very safe to kill the northern upstart.

He is mainly worried about the consequences of this action. It is certain that he will attract the attention and suppression of the Kingdom again.

After all, killing an upper-class nobleman who was about to become a marquis was no small matter.

Compared with the price paid, he can't judge whether he will gain or lose in the benefits obtained from this operation.

But as the leader of the Knights and one of the top church officials, he can clearly feel that the contemporary Pope is acting more and more radically.

The previous generations of popes pursued the principle of low-key development, gradual penetration, and no direct conflict with the kingdom's officialdom.

After a hundred years of dormancy, the Rising Sun Sect has finally regained some vitality.

The church's code of conduct seems to have undergone some changes, and it has begun to become more radical again.

Not only was he planning to attack and kill Richard this time, but in exchange for the conversion of the current Patriarch of the Lanster family,

The Pope seems to have made arrangements in the royal capital, and he doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

"Keep an eye on the position. The poison on the arrows is well tempered. Sharpen the knives and guns. This operation can only succeed and not fail!"

Although he does not agree with the Pope's radical approach, but the matter has come to this point, Hussein can only try to get things done.

"Yes, Lord Hussein, don't worry!"

There was a shout of applause all around,

The tone is quite confident,

These people are the elite of the Knights, except for Hussein, there are only two masters of the Great Knights, and more than a dozen masters of the Knights,

In their eyes, ambushing an Earl from the Northland this time is simply killing a chicken with a sledgehammer, and there is no possibility of any accidents.

…

On the official road going south in the river valley,

Li Cha and the others walked hundreds of kilometers out of Bolai City,

At this moment, it has left the scope of the river valley, and has come to the core territory of the kingdom, the central plain,

The official road is almost parallel to the Jinlong River, built along the Jinlong River, and the population is densely visible to the naked eye.

This fertile land and dense population are also one of the foundations for the kingdom to command all directions.

Li Cha looked left and right on the horse, observing this fertile land up close, as if looking at his own home first.

From time to time, I can see a few farmers passing by. Although these farmers are dressed in shabby clothes, they are in good spirits. At least they don’t have sallow muscles.

It seems that most of the civilians on the Central Great Plains can still make a living. If there are no external factors, it will not be easy to rebel.

When the surrounding farmers saw Li Cha's team, although they were a little afraid, they did not hide away like the people in the valley.

One is because although the peasants on the Central Great Plains are not rich, they have more knowledge.

They have seen even more exotic creatures, but they are not surprised to see the poisonous scorpion lion brought by Li Cha.

The second is that Li Cha learned the lesson from the river valley, put a collar on the scorpion lion, and tied it to the horse with a rope, saying that he is a war beast with a rope, so don't be afraid.

Of course, this ordinary rope is more like a display for the manticore, it is just a psychological comfort for the people around, anyway, the manticore will not break free from the rope and run around without Richard's order.

It's just that the poisonous scorpion, who could have fun at will, can only wander around Li Cha now, and his eyes are occasionally a little melancholy.

"Master Richard, we need to speed up a bit. If we don't make it to Rich Town before dark, we may have to sleep in the wilderness for one night."

The cavalry on the side had obviously been to the capital, and they had some experience with the route and knew where to rest, so they reminded Richard.

"Well, let's speed up."

Li Cha also accepted the suggestion with kindness, he is not a worry maniac, living in a small town is better, so why bother to live in the wild to find happiness for himself.

…

"Drive, drive!"

"Hoo!"

Li Cha and the others finally arrived at Ridge Town just after nightfall.

"Boss, open ten rooms."

"okay!"

Because the number of people he brought was not too many, Li Cha also took everyone to live in the largest hotel in Rich Town in a very extravagant manner.

As soon as everyone entered the hotel, they attracted the attention of the people around them.

As an important node on the official road, Rich Town has many people coming and going every day.

There are dozens of caravans with hundreds of people, but the swords and armor on Li Cha's group are obviously not simple.

As soon as you enter the door, you can quiet down the noisy hotel lobby.

People around knew that Li Cha and his group were not easy to mess with.

"Guest, upstairs please."

Li Cha didn't intend to delay here, so he took people upstairs and went into the room to rest. After driving for several days, even though his body could bear it, he was still a little tired mentally.

…

"Lord Hussein, the target has entered the town and stayed in the largest hotel in the center of the town."

"Hmph, get everyone ready."

"Yes, my lord..."
