Heroes of the Invincible Knight

on the snow field

The snow giants stopped outside the snowfield city for two days and then basically dispersed. After losing Vernon, the other snow giant tribes basically lost their fighting spirit. Even after the king's order was issued, several tribes continued to come to support , the strength is stronger than before.

But without the unified command of Snow Giant King Vernon, the more tribes came, the more chaotic they became. They couldn't even form a simple alliance like the previous three tribes, and no one wanted to be a striker.

After two days of stalemate, the royal court soldiers who followed Vernon broke the deadlock. They simply left with Vernon's body and prepared to return to the royal court first.

And the gathered tribe of snow giants simply followed suit and left. At least from now on, this group of humans is fairly harmless to humans and animals. Unlike Bailong, Bailong wants to compete with snow giants for prey on the snow field Even the extremely hungry white dragon would directly take the lone snow giant as prey.

Snowfield City, on the other hand, is completely in a state of passive defense. Humans inside rarely even go out, let alone compete with snow giants for prey. Only families and a few large tribes would worry about things, and more people only see immediate benefits.

Most of the leaders of the snow giant tribe were unwilling to use their own tribe's warriors to compete with a race that did not seem to threaten their own interests.

As soon as Wang Ting's troops left, it was as if they had made a demonstration. Many tribes followed suit and left.

In the end, even the three major tribes at the beginning were shaken.

"Since everyone is gone, my White Wind Department will also leave tomorrow. During this period of time, so many wars have gathered here, the surrounding prey is almost being hunted, and the food we brought is not enough, we can't do this anymore It's wasted here."

"This city is not far from the hunting grounds of our tribes."

"These humans only dare to stay in this city. How dare they come out to touch our hunting grounds. We can leave a hundred soldiers to watch them."

"But in this way, it will become more and more difficult to drive these humans out of the snowfield."

"Hullier, we can only do this now. The other tribes are astigmatized. Before the next king appears, I'm afraid we won't have the chance to attack again."

"Oh, that's the only way to go."

The leaders of these big tribes, everyone knows that leaving Xueyuan City behind is a hidden danger, but now that Vernon is dead, because Vernon died suddenly, there is no arrangement for the next Snow Giant King. In this situation, there is no one in Tate's line Time cannot choose a new Snow Giant King.

During this period of time, Wang Ting was too busy to take care of himself, and the large and powerful tribes were unwilling to be the top bird. After all, Xueyuan City had also proved itself to be a tough guy. There might be some positivity left.

After confirming that the snow giant had basically withdrawn, this short but intense battle finally came to an end, and the two sides entered into a strange balance. Although the snow giant king died, Li Cha could not clear the snowfield like he wiped out the wilderness ogre The snow giants on the ground, the two sides are not at the same level at all. If they behave too aggressively and are surrounded and suppressed by the large tribes of snow giants, it will not be worth the candle.

We can only take advantage of this balance to speed up the accumulation of strength, but Aragorn has brought good news to Richard. Aragorn has taken the Ice and Snow Key, the sacred artifact king token of the Snow Giant family, into the hands of Aragorn. The tradition is an important token of king selection. To become the new snow giant king, in addition to being a member of Tate's lineage, one must also have the ability to use the key of ice and snow. Now the key of ice and snow has fallen into the hands of Aragorn. Most of the Wang Ting will encounter difficulties when choosing a new king, but before the new king appears, as long as Li Cha doesn't get angry, Xueyuan City will be safe for the time being.

After the snow giant basically withdrew, Richard did not break his promise, and handed over the knowledge he agreed to share with Aragorn. He even provided a copy of those notebooks to Aragorn. I started researching in the study of the underground ruins. During this period, Aragorn became interested in the godhead who is now the tower of energy. However, Aragorn did not ask for the agreement between love and the previous one. He just asked Richard to agree to it when the time is right. Give him another semi-finished godhead to study.

miraculous city

After a big battle, the atmosphere in the North was a little more serious. The impact of the battle with the snow giants was actually not as great as the battle with the orcs, because most humans didn't know much about the snow giants, and not many people talked about them.

It is said that a great victory has been achieved, but the casualties of 20,000 to 30,000 are real. These 20,000 to 30,000 people are basically born and bred in the Northland. They are all someone's husband or someone's son. Basically, every household in the Northland knew one or two soldiers who died in battle, and several banner regiments were directly maimed, and young people from some villages met to join the army. This time, none of them may be able to return.

The impact of the heavy casualties was to dampen the enthusiasm of the young people in the Northland to join the army. The bloody casualties made them understand the cruelty of war, and for, after all, although the Northland was bitterly cold, the people would not be unable to survive, especially in the Hunter family. After gradually taking control of the Northland, the quality of life of the people has improved, and it will not be impossible to have a bite of food if you don't join the army.

In order to minimize this negative impact, Li Cha and his senior officials gathered in the conference hall of the Duke's Mansion of the Northland to discuss the aftermath.

"Master Richard, according to post-war statistics, more than 17,000 soldiers were killed in the battle against the Snow Giants this time, and they needed to pay more than 20,000 kinnar in one-off pensions. The number of wounded was equal to the number of dead. , generally speaking, at least more than 10,000 kinnars will be spent, and if we count the post-war rewards, we need to spend at least 50,000 kinnars. There are also tens of thousands of kinnars spent for war preparations beforehand. Our financial The shortfall may be as much as one hundred thousand kinnars."

In the conference hall, Li Cha was sitting on the main seat, and Iger was reporting to Li Cha the aftermath of the war. The expressions of the senior generals did not change. Anyway, under the Hunter family system, they only lead troops to fight, and it is not their turn to worry about appeasement after the war. They don't even care about recruiting and recruiting new soldiers.

Li Cha's head hurt when he heard it, and he always felt that this was like a debt collection. The debt owed was much more terrifying than credit card debt, Huabei borrowing, and various online loans. If that kind of money is not enough, it's just that life is more uncomfortable. I owe money to the army under my command, but I will owe something big.

Although with Li Cha's prestige and control over the Northland, there will not be any mutiny, but if it is really owed to pay the pension and rewards, it will definitely be a huge blow to morale. Desperate is not so easy. Reputation is something that accumulates slowly, but it only takes one time to ruin it.

"Is the gap so big? Didn't the South's soap and cigarette proceeds come? And Haimao also has a piece of our Hunter family."

Li Cha asked another question without giving up. It has been a long time since Li Cha managed the finances himself, and he only had a general idea of ​​the financial situation of the Hunter family. After the trip to the south, the Hunter family has lived a prosperous life for a while. . There are more than 200,000 kinnars in property that can be used immediately. After cooperating with the fourth prince, soap and cigarettes quickly opened up sales in the south, and a lot of kinnars are credited to the account every month. There is also a gap.

Fortunately, many people in the Hunter family's army didn't want a penny after accumulating military exploits. They just wanted to get better exercises and training resources, which saved Richard some money for no reason, otherwise the gap would only be bigger.

Iger looked at Li Cha and nodded for confirmation, then said:

"Because of the construction of a large number of colleges according to your orders recently, coupled with the rapid expansion of the army, the previous financial surplus has almost been consumed, and our current income is only enough to maintain the daily expenses of the whole territory. The only good news is the previously issued The bonds of tens of thousands of kinnars need not be repaid.

But now it is difficult for us to issue new bonds, and the merchants and nobles in the kingdom will basically not recognize our bonds. "

This good news is very spiritual, because the buyers who bought the tens of thousands of kinnar bonds from the Hunter family before were all nobles from the River Valley. Now that the River Valley has been cleaned up by Morel, more than half of the creditors have directly reopened. Many bonds were even copied by the soldiers of Hunter's family during the search of the house and returned to the original owner. Naturally, there is no need to pay back the money.

And what the Hunter family has done in the Northland basically has the meaning of severing themselves from the aristocratic class of the kingdom, and has even been faintly resisted. If there is still a group of dignitaries in the royal capital on the Central Great Plains to subscribe to the Hunter family The bond has also become a very difficult thing.

Don't look at the current financial income of the Hunter's family growing like a snowball, but the speed of Richard's paving is also even worse. The army's military administrative expenditures and various projects are constantly being rolled out, and Richard's monthly fixed A large amount of Kinner expenditures, those incomes have only maintained a tight balance. Together with this war, so much extra expenditures have become a big financial hole.

But no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor now. After thinking about it for a while, Li Cha ordered Iger:

"Halve the administrative expenses now, put the money back, say to wait until next month, and ensure the distribution of pensions and rewards first, and then discuss with Lin Te about the insufficient part. The caravan draws part of the funds."

"Yes, Master Richard."

The current size of the Hunter's family does not mean that they cannot withdraw one hundred thousand kinnars, but every penny has its uses, and it is impossible to embezzle it easily. Only after Richard speaks can the original purpose of the money be changed.

Although the casualties and consumption of money and materials in this battle were quite large, the benefits it brought were also very obvious. In addition to completing the set goal of keeping Xueyuan City, all the heroes participating in the battle, including Li Cha, basically had a lot of improvement. Among them, the one who has upgraded the most is Siaire, the salted fish elf.

After the first battle, Siaire directly increased by five levels, from level ten to level fifteen. The properties panel has also undergone major changes.

Hero Unit: Siaire

Race: Elf

Level: 15

Strength: 26

Agility: 29

Constitution: 27

Spirit: 26

Mana: (260)

Specialty: Unicorn Affinity

The unicorn output of the city where it is located is increased by 1

Skills: Natural Forest Breathing Method (Master Level), Natural Forest Entrainment Technique (Advanced Level), Financial Management Technique (Master Level) Get 1,000 Jinnar per week, Attack Technique (Advanced Level), Defense Technique (Elementary Level), Logistics (Elementary).

Because financial management skills have reached the master level, Siaire, who has been promoted to five levels in a row, has finally had a staged improvement in strength this time, reaching the level of the earth level, and finally got rid of the fact that even the unicorn holy beast he recruited was beaten. However, in an embarrassing situation, he also realized the new skill of elementary logistics.

The other heroes participating in the battle have also improved. Molly and Natalis have each been promoted by one level, and their strength has improved a little. However, for heroes of this level, the increase in strength brought about by a level increase is not obvious. .

And Eileen, who participated in the whole process, has improved two consecutive levels to seventeen like Li Cha, and her personal strength has reached the level of mid-level sky.

Rhodes and Sir Mrak, who participated in the battle, have also been promoted to a level. It can be said that this battle is a harvest of experience for Richard and his men. Only Catherine, who presides over the situation in the valley, missed this feast. .

I am afraid that there will be a short period of stability in the future. The Hunter family will probably focus on stable development and fully digest the current results.

Monaia

As the capital of the orcs, this city still looks very prosperous on the desolate eastern plateau.

For nearly a hundred years, the orcs have continuously gained advantages in the battle with humans, and the atmosphere in the whole city is very enthusiastic. It seems that all the orcs feel that they are not far from regaining their former glory.

It's just that the atmosphere in Monaia has been a little gloomy recently. An expedition that the orc king Haldane placed high hopes on ended in annihilation of the entire army. According to the information from the human side, even the warrior Gert, who led the army to fight, did not Died on the spot.

This was an unprecedented defeat. In the past hundred years, the orcs have not suffered such a big loss from humans, so that now Haldane is wondering if he was tricked by the so-called human god.

However, Adrillo, the envoy suspected by Haldane, appeared in Haldane's palace again at this time. No one knew how he got in, but the moment he appeared, Haldane subconsciously He picked up the weapon at hand, and after a few seconds, the surrounding guards also reacted, and they all surrounded him with a huff, as if they would chop the opponent into meat paste as long as Haldane gave an order.

"Your Majesty, please don't be nervous, I have no malice towards you."

Facing a large group of orcs facing each other with swords and weapons, Adrillo didn't look nervous at all, and still communicated with each other calmly.

"Oh? Then can you explain to me how General Gert died?"

"I think this is just an accident, none of us expected the strength of the humans in the North.

I have come this time to invite Your Majesty to join an alliance. "

"Your rhetoric doesn't make me trust you anymore."

Haldane was somewhat apprehensive of Adrillo, and did not immediately order to take him down, but his doubts in his heart did not ease, and he always maintained a certain degree of vigilance against him.

"Your Majesty, the world is changing. If you don't choose to believe me, you will miss your last chance."

"What's the meaning?"

"The magic is recovering."
