Heroes of the Invincible Knight

No matter what name Li Cha is using, it is impossible to hide the news that he has taken over Piaoxue City. The first person to get the news is the River Valley, which is next to the Northland.

The wealth of the River Valley is inversely proportional to its military power. The River Valley, which is less than one-tenth of the area of ​​the Northland, has a population of more than six million, and there are hundreds of nobles, large and small. In this era, the population can already be counted as Dense.

It’s just that these more than a hundred nobles have already been commercialized. With their wealth and population, they act more like a complex of landlords and merchants. Those who can pull fifty soldiers are considered powerful nobles. Among them, even Some of them didn't even repair the traditional castles, and lived in more comfortable manors.

There are only a few limited-capable soldiers in the eleven families of Burleigh City, and maybe a few thousand can be gathered, but it seems that there is no such thing in front of the Hunter family in the Northland. Now the main force of the River Valley army is Dane's. For the 20,000 River Valley Legion, it was no secret that Dane had flirted with Li Cha for a long time.

After the news that Li Cha had annexed Piaoxue City, the nobles in Bolai City became a little uneasy. Li Cha did not hide the four giant dragons this time. As long as the entire kingdom is not deaf and blind, Everyone should know about Li Cha's power by now. Now the nobles in the River Valley are afraid that Li Cha will turn against the kingdom, and they will be the first to suffer. Dane looks unreliable, so he can only keep urging him to return. Kingdom Custodians on the road.

That's right, the 20,000 imperial troops that Rennes decided to send to Zhenbei Pass to strengthen the defense had not arrived at the place yet, and Li Cha had already wiped out the orcs who invaded the Northland. Breakthrough into the power of the valley.

And Jinlongdu also got the news about the Northland. At this time, Ren even had the letter sent by Richard in his hand, and there was no expression of joy or anger on his face.

"Li Cha, do you really think that the kingdom can't do anything to him?"

"We're afraid there's nothing we can do for the time being."

Ren's tone was obviously not kind, and only Saul dared to speak so bluntly at this time.

"Yeah, my son-in-law's wings are stiff, and there are four giant dragons."

The place for discussion is not in the main hall, but in a small room in the palace. There are only the absolute high-level officials of the kingdom, such as the left minister, the right minister, and Sol. How can there be room for a group of people to talk at each other? It's just a symbolic discussion of more people after a few people have reached a unified opinion.

"Your Majesty, the most important thing for us right now is to deal with the crisis of the orcs. We must entangle the orcs at the Dragon's Breath Pass, otherwise the Central Plains will not be preserved."

"I know, anyway, there is that boy Li Cha in the Northland, and the orcs probably can't find a breakthrough. I have already transferred back the forbidden army from Zhenbeiguan, so let him go in the Northland."

The nobles in Burleigh still don't know that the imperial guards they were looking forward to had been transferred back before they arrived.

"Speaking of which, at this time, Li Cha can stabilize the Northland and keep the orcs in the Northland, which can be regarded as reducing the pressure on the kingdom."

"Hmph, then he is doing it for his own benefit."

Although Ren said he was dissatisfied with Richard's actions, he acted quite rationally. He simply ignored the affairs in the north and shrunk all his strength to the upcoming orc crisis.

It was also Li Cha who got a good idea of ​​Ren's character, knowing that Ren is a very rational king, no matter how extreme his behavior is now, Ren will not overturn the table, if it is a king with a more impulsive personality, Li Cha may be a bad man when he breaks the rules. Also be careful.

"Then, shall we reject the request in Li Cha's letter?"

Ren had circulated the letter to everyone before, and Prime Minister Zuo also knew Li Cha's request in the letter. He not only annexed Piaoxue City, but also arranged for an heir to the Marquis without permission. What's even more shameless is that Li Cha even sent a letter. Ask the Kingdom to recognize his arrangement.

"This kind of thing, I don't think it can start, just ignore it."

Although Golden Dragon City can't do anything about Li Cha, but he is capable of disgusting him. Although Li Cha can settle everything in the Northland with one word, the power of Charman's family, which has been in the Golden Dragon Kingdom for hundreds of years, is even more powerful. Now, the title of righteousness is still with Rennes. If they don't approve of Lint's succession to the title, then Lint, the Marquis, will have such a bad name. Although no one in the Northland dares to say anything, but There was always a little less orthodoxy.

"However, the Hunter's family just achieved a great victory against the orcs, and successfully killed the orcs' national defender Gert. Now the head is on the way to the king's capital. This is more than a hundred years. The biggest victory achieved..."

Although Sol didn't finish his words, the meaning was obvious. The Hunter family has made great contributions, and the current situation is not suitable for beating. Sol is speaking for Richard, although Sol's arbitrary and reckless behavior towards Richard is the same A little dissatisfied, but from the point of view of a martial artist, he admires Li Cha very much.

After Thor reminded them, several people on the field fell silent again. The orcs of the three legions plus one warrior protecting the country, at this special time, let alone a marquis, in fact, it might not be too much to give a duke. It's just that Li Cha's behavior is too bad. He has exceeded his authority and assumed the power of the kingdom's center. If he is a viscount or something, they will turn a blind eye and close their eyes, but the marquis is already the top nobleman in the kingdom, why? Nor should Li Cha arrange it.

"Let the House of Nobles recognize Lint's title first."

In the end, it was Ren who acknowledged the matter with his own voice, which was considered to have set the tone. Others no longer objected. Facing the threat of orcs, the high-level officials of the kingdom were still very clear-headed. This was not the time for infighting.

"Let's talk about Li Cha's award next."

"This time Li Cha acted recklessly and annexed Piaoxue City without authorization. The kingdom's not pursuing it is already the greatest kindness to him."

"Yeah, at most it's a balance of merit and demerit."

"Reward some property at most."

The people below all understand that the kingdom is actually quite embarrassing in the face of Richard's achievements. Although the marquis still has the title of duke, in fact the marquis is already the ceiling of the nobility. Since the establishment of the kingdom, the kingdom has Two dukes have been conferred, one is the family of the Duke of Ross, one of the three founders of the country, and the other is Sol, the dragon knight who is now present.

The dukeship of the Ross family is due to historical reasons, and the dukeship of Sol is best regarded as an honorary title to some extent. He does not have the same actual fiefdom as the Ross family.

If the title is really transferred based on merit, Li Cha can only be promoted to a duke. A real duke with tens of millions of people and hundreds of thousands of armored men? The center has an instinctive rejection of this kind of thing. It is enough for the kingdom to have a Duke of the Western Territory. Besides, Richard is not too disciplined. Now Saul didn't speak up to help and just waited for Ren to make a decision.

Unexpectedly, after Ren thought for a while, he made a decision that surprised everyone when he opened his mouth.

"Elevate Richard's title to Duke, add the title of Guardian of the Northland, and command all military forces in the Northland and the River Valley."

"this?"

Everyone thought they had heard it wrong, and giving it to the Duke was already an exception, but it was also worthy of Li Cha's credit, but they didn't understand the operation of packing the river valley land to Li Cha.

"Your Majesty, the River Valley is the barrier between the Central Great Plains and the Northland. It might not be appropriate to hand it over to Richard."

After confirming that he did not have auditory hallucinations, some people quickly stood up to oppose this seemingly absurd decision.

"That's right, Zhenbei Pass is a powerful pass that separates the north from the south. If Li Cha takes the River Valley, there will be no one to check and balance."

If I want to say this a little more, it means that if Li Cha has any disobedience, it is much easier to go south from the river valley to the Central Plains than to go south from the north, not to mention that the river valley is still a rich place. Compared with the central plains of the royal capital and the south, the wealth of the river valley is nothing, but it cannot be given to Li Cha for nothing.

But Saul seemed to think of something, frowned and didn't speak.

"The Kingdom values ​​military merits, and should be rewarded even more at this time, so there is no need to say more."

"this…"

"Let the House of Nobles discuss merits and send someone to prepare for the conferment."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

That is to say, the authority of the King of the Golden Dragon Kingdom is strong enough. Although the following people still object in their hearts, after Ren really made a decision, they dare not continue to oppose it. Thor remained silent. The rest of the people thought that the uncle and nephew had reached some kind of tacit agreement, so they didn't dare to say anything more.

"Okay, Uncle Sol stay here for a while, the others should leave first if they have nothing to do, and we will announce the matter in the hall tomorrow."

Hearing that Ren left Saul alone, the others resigned very tactfully.

After everyone left the room, Ren asked:

"Uncle Sol, do you think it is possible for Li Cha to send troops to participate in the Eastern Expedition Plan?"

The Eastern Expedition Plan is a secret plan made by Sol and Ren. They want to launch a surprise attack from the Dragon's Breath Pass while the dragon is still there. The orcs were caught off guard, and at least won a partial victory, delaying the orcs' attack.

Originally, the scope of knowledge of this plan was very small. Only Ren, Sol, and one or two high-level military officials involved knew about it, and kept it strictly confidential to everyone else. Before launching an attack, it is natural to prevent leaks of information and let the orcs take precautions in advance.

The concentration of money and food and the mobilization of the army are also based on strengthening the defense of Longxi Pass, which is justified under the situation of the orcs threatening every step of the way.

At the beginning, this plan did not involve Li Cha. Even though Li Cha showed the power of the sky level and had a giant dragon at that time, there were too many doubts about Li Cha. More than two million elites are related to the national destiny, and no risk can be taken.

But now Ryan is obviously willing to let Li Cha participate again. First, the power displayed by Li Cha is indeed enough. The four giant dragons, as well as the giant beasts and mysterious powerhouses that appeared in the south, from high-end In terms of power, if the young man in the palace is excluded, Li Cha's high-end power is stronger than that of the entire kingdom.

Secondly, Li Cha not only wiped out the three armies of the orcs this time, but also killed Gert, one of the two orcs who defended the country. No matter how you say it, it is impossible to be a spy, at least in the matter of targeting the orcs. , Li Cha is trustworthy. If Richard had joined the battle with the elite and giant dragons from the Northland, then the probability of success of this expedition's adventure plan should be much higher.

The crux of the problem now is how to get Li Cha to send troops. Now Li Cha can't be moved by a single order from Rennes. There must be enough benefits to make Li Cha's heart move.

Sol was not surprised when Ren spoke up. When Ren was so generous with the title and returned the territory of the river valley, Sol probably guessed what Ren was thinking.

Titles and titles are all lip service. For a kingdom that is now trying its best to resist the orcs, it will be sealed off. However, it is worth pondering that Renn directly put the river valley into Richard's sphere of influence. up.

To rule out the possibility that Ren is an idiot, there must be a plan for it. The River Valley is the benefit that Ren can offer, and of course it is in exchange for Li Cha to send troops to participate in the Eastern Expedition.

As for the interests of the nobles in the valley, it is not within the scope of Rennes' consideration at all now. How much interests they can compete with Richard depends on the respective abilities of both parties.

"I'm not sure, but it's a possibility."

Li Cha's rise is too fast, and Saul actually doesn't understand Li Cha very well. In Saul's eyes, Li Cha was a young nobleman with responsibility and ability, but now he has become a vassal of the separatist regime. To be honest He was a little uncertain whether this young man who had acted like a jester in front of him would agree.

"It's okay, Uncle Sol will go to the Northland this time, and test it out with the order of being a knight. If he agrees to send troops, what if the River Valley is given to him."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Posey City

Paley is in a good mood these days. Since the last successful expedition to the Sea Clan's clam farm, the Sea Clan has indeed become more honest. With the prestige of the victory, Paley has also completely subdued the nobles in Percy City, even The original thorn-headed Warayahou Mansion also entered into a state of cooperation with Paley after the expedition.

The trade volume is rising steadily, and the resources and power in his hands are also steadily increasing over time. As long as there is enough time, he can use Posey City as the center and accumulate enough advantages in the south to prepare for the possible future throne. Struggle for power.

It's a pity that as the orc crisis is approaching, the focus of all this will be shifted to guarding against the orcs.

What he thinks about the most in his spare time now is if the orcs take down the Central Great Plains, how will he resist steadily in the south? Is he going to retreat into the swamp to join the trolls?

Thinking of this possibility, Paley had goose bumps all over his body, and the wine glass in his hand was a little unsteady.

"Master Paley, there is news from the Northland."

"Oh? Did Li Cha do something important again?"

When Paley heard that it was information from the Northland, he subconsciously thought of Richard.

"The Hunter family occupied Piaoxue City and supported Lin Te to become the new Marquis."

"It's hard for him to bear the fat around his mouth for so long."

Paley wasn't surprised at all, but felt that Li Cha's movements were slower than he expected.

He didn't have the awareness of being a contender for the throne of the Charlemagne family, and he didn't have any emotional fluctuations towards Richard's ambitious behavior.

In the future, it's hard to say whether this kingdom belongs to the Charlemagne's family. Richard is strong, and it seems to be a good thing now. It's better to take care of the things in front of him first. Paley is very open-minded.

"Have the dwarves from Stone Hills answered back? What's their attitude towards the union?"

"They took the wine you asked us to send, but they mean that we have to think about it."

"It means that these dwarves have accepted gifts and don't do anything, it's not as good as me hiring Richard!"

Although Paley was annoyed in his words, he still added another sentence to show his sincerity by continuing to keep in touch.

After all, there are still millions of dwarves living in Stone Hills. If these guys can be recruited, they will definitely be an important force...
