Heroes of the Invincible Knight

on the dragon boat

Richard was saying goodbye to Paley and the others. After Natalis brought 5,000 elites to the port city, Richard and Paley boarded the way back. Paley will continue to arrange the follow-up work. Family members and some refugees who lost their homes during the war will be dizzy by the fleet to the port city to become new residents. The entire port city should be able to accommodate 20,000 to 30,000 people, and with the size of the island of Haizu Clamchang, it can actually accommodate more than 20,000 people. A few hundred thousand people is not a big problem, but in order not to stimulate the sea people for the time being, the planned immigration will not exceed 20,000 people.

"Brother-in-law, be careful all the way, leave the port city to me."

"I will handle the affairs of the port city for my lord."

In addition to Paley, there was also Paul, who was newly assigned to Richard's command, this hero who is good at sea combat and has a certain coordination and management ability is indeed a rare talent. Some are overkill, and it is foreseeable that the importance of the kingdom's navy will continue to decline. Judging from the current situation, apart from Paley, the kingdom's officials probably will not invest a penny in the navy.

Under Richard's persuasion and lure, Paul quickly made a choice. On the one hand, he can be said to be the powerful marquis in the kingdom, and on the other hand, the fleet is getting less and less attention. As long as he still has some ambitions, it is not difficult. make a choice.

Richard will not bring Paul with him on his return journey. He will assist Natalis in managing the port city, and he will also prepare a fleet for Richard. He is half of the credit for the peace of the ocean. Li Cha also wanted to take a bite of the soup.

For the far north, the current port city is nothing more than an enclave, and he can rest assured that Natalis must be left behind. With her here, it can effectively deter the Sea Clan, It can also make some southern nobles calm down their careful thinking about the port city, including Paley, who is also within this deterrent range.

As for whether it is worthwhile to hold back such an important combat force as Natalis for the sake of an enclave, Richard thinks it is worth it after careful consideration.

A port city is an existence that cannot be lost. From a distance, it will be Richard's tentacles in the future, and even like the elves in the past, it will be the foundation for controlling the sea people.

From the current point of view, under the current cooperation with Paley, Richard can earn tens of thousands of kinnars a month, but this is obviously not enough. Compared with the economic and maritime trade benefits of the entire South, that little money is the most It can be regarded as a sip of soup, now that Li Cha has been here, how can he be satisfied with a simple sip of soup? On the pyramid of the kingdom, he is a top meat eater.

With this contribution to the expedition to the Sea Clan, in addition to receiving the 200,000 kinnar reward promised by Paley, Richard also tore a piece of the trade profit from the mouths of these southern dignitaries, and a part of the share was divided Given to Li Cha, this part of the benefits must be watched by someone.

The current arrangement is also temporary. Natalise's force is an absolute deterrent, but Natalise's management ability can only be said to be average, normal level. Paul is stronger than her, and there will be middle-level people from Ironwood City in the future. The affairs officers came to the south one after another to help Natalis manage the port city and trade together.

Li Cha waved to everyone on the dragon boat, and then drove the red dragon to set off. The Ultimate Hydra was in the sea and left with Li Cha. After more than ten days of recuperation, Ultimate Hydra recovered. Even the heads that had been bitten off by the giant deep-sea whales had grown back, and Li Cha had to marvel at its powerful vitality.

The dragon boat and several warships are still some distance away from the mainland, but Li Cha can't wait to sail back slowly. The days away from the Northland are long enough, and he feels a little uneasy in his heart. Starting alone, after leaving the sight of the dragon boat, he used teleportation and started the mode of rushing at high speed.

…

Northland

The cloud of war once again shrouded Ironwood City, and traces of orcs appeared on the edge of Ironwood Forest again.

The elves in Forest City found the vanguard of the orcs in Ironwood City. This time, the orcs did not rush to attack. Instead, they built a huge advance base in Ironwood Forest. It was impossible for more than 50,000 orcs to rush out in one go. They cut logs in the forest to build camps and roads, as if preparing for a long war.

"General Gert, the scouts found signs of human army activity on the edge of the Ironwood Forest"

After a long and arduous march, the orcs finally crossed the snowfield and entered the Ironwood Forest. However, even with the help of the snow giant and the envoy Adrilo, non-combat attrition was still very serious. Nearly 5,000 orc warriors remained on the snowfield forever , Nearly one-tenth of non-combat attrition, even if the orc commander has a certain amount of mental preparation, he still can't help but feel pain.

But at this moment, Gert can't care about his distress. The troops have rested for two days and established a basic camp, and it's time to move.

"Give me an order to let the vanguard battalion go to the front line first. If the human beings they face are not strong, they will be wiped out. If there are too many human troops, let them stick to their positions."

The Vanguard Battalion is an elite force of orcs. Although the number is only 5,000, they are all veterans who have seen bloody battles at Dragon's Breath Pass and performed well. Gert took them to lead the battle and sacrificed his knives as soon as he came out.

"Second Legion, go around in the southeast direction, try to bypass the frontal human army, and launch an attack from the human flank and rear. Our side will delay the human army."

"As a reserve force, the Third Army is ready to support the Vanguard Battalion at any time."

"Yes, General!"

The orcs are extremely confident in facing the human army in the field. Even if Gert received the scouting information and got the information that the human army has nearly 60,000 people, he still pushes the 5,000 vanguard battalion to the front. He doesn't want to fight. In a simple battle of defeat, since humans dared to leave the city to fight, he didn't want to let any of them go back. He tried to fight a solid battle of annihilation.

…

"Lord Molly, the orc army has moved."

"Um."

At this time, Molier was leading two ordinary legions, the Silver Wing Legion and the Dragon Army, and almost half of Li Cha's troops were confronting the orcs.

Leaving aside the strength of the system army, if we only compare the number of strong men, the knight-level and above strong men owned by the system army can completely crush the opposing orcs, and the ordinary native army has also undergone considerable changes.

The most obvious thing is the change in equipment. In the past, Richard was thinking about financial issues. The Hunter family has limited financial resources and needs to consider the cost-effectiveness of equipment. Steady progress.

Originally, the standard configuration of the Hunter family's subordinate army was a cloth face armor plus group armor, an iron bone animal skin helmet, a standard scimitar and their respective main weapons.

Now starting from the Dragon Army, the configuration of the tortoise shell and the heart armor has been added to the original basis. It is basically a double armor, and the protection ability is greatly enhanced. Impact damage from certain blunt objects.

The helmet has been replaced with an animal skin lining, the exterior is all metal, and a shawl and chain armor with a neck guard has been added. The overall protection of a set is greatly improved compared to before, which makes the originally affluent finances a lot tighter. Iger Because of this, I lost a lot of hair.

There are also many updates on the weapons. The scimitar has been replaced with a more practical armor-piercing hammer. This kind of weapon with a front cone and a rear hammer is more suitable for dealing with heavy armor units like orcs. The tip of the spear has also become sharper. A posture that wants to break the armor.

"Ron!"

"exist!"

"You take the Crusaders and the Dragon Army's First Banner Regiment and the Second Banner Regiment up to kill their prestige."

"yes!"

Although Ron is also a hero, he is not at the same level as Moliel in terms of strength and ability. He is 10,000 convinced of Moliel commanding him, at least in terms of skill bonus, he is a little worse than Moliel. Big cut.

Soon, Ron led more than a hundred crusaders and ten thousand dragon troops to meet them...

At this time, Li Cha had just arrived in the Northland, and he rushed to the Congress Hall of the Great Stone Fort at the fastest speed...
