Heroes of the Invincible Knight

The noon sun is warming, and the temperature in the Northland is slowly warming up since the end of the new year.

At this time, the soldiers of Ironwood City had firmly closed the city gates. According to the usual training, the soldiers had already stood on the battle positions on the city wall. The beacon fires on the battlements were lit and thick black smoke rose.

Viscount Soter was also alarmed, and sent his two younger brothers with some soldiers to check the outer city. He put on his equipment and sat in the castle.

"Honey, what's going on."

The commotion in the castle also alarmed Richard's mother, Mrs. Kailin.

"It's nothing, it's just a black smoke, maybe some noble's guard passed by."

This is also the rule set by Li Cha.

There are watchtowers erected in multiple directions in Ironwood City, and if there are possible enemies, beacons are lit.

One smoke means that the danger is not great and you can do basic coping. Two smoke means that there is a strong danger. The city needs to mobilize well. If it is three smoke, it means that the intruder is very powerful. Be ready to break out and escape.

Kailin nodded worriedly and returned to the inner house. She is a woman who understands the general situation, so she naturally knows that her greatest contribution is to control the maids and maids in the inner house at this time.

At this time, Li Cha had already arrived outside Ironwood City, looking at the closed city gates and billowing thick smoke was a bit gratifying.

It would only make him angry if the Ironwood City guards who had trained for so long didn't react at all when they saw dozens of heavily armed soldiers approaching.

"I'm Li Cha, open the city gate and release the guard."

Thanks to the fact that there are not many guards in Ironwood City, and Li Cha often brushes his face in front of the soldiers, almost all the guards in Ironwood City know Li Cha.

The captain of the city gate recognized that the leader was Li Cha, and decisively ordered to lift the guard and open the city gate.

Although he didn't know where the well-equipped strange soldiers came from, the prestige that Li Cha had built up all the year round made him habitually carry out Li Cha's orders.

After entering Ironwood City with the soldiers produced by the system, they headed straight for Ironwood Fort. The civilians looked at this small army with some curiosity. After all, this group of soldiers was very strange, not because they were familiar with the Ironwood City guards.

"Hey, Li Cha, it's okay, who are they?"

Li Cha and his people happened to meet the second uncle and third uncle who came to check the situation on the street.

"It's okay, they are soldiers I trained separately, and they are all my own."

Li Cha made a fool of himself.

"I've never seen these people before." The two uncles muttered doubtfully.

However, out of trust in Li Cha, he did not stop him, but instead joined the team and turned back to the castle.

After returning to the castle, everyone was surprised by the group of well-armed soldiers, and some even speculated that they were the guards brought by the nobles from the northern Marquis's mansion or the royal capital.

The soldiers produced by this group of systems are all wearing iron armor, and the three swordsmen are even wearing expensive plate armor. The most perverted one is the crusader, who is like an iron can with a closed helmet.

And Li Cha's Ironwood City guards were all equipped with relatively cost-effective cloth face armor. After all, the Hunter family was not a wealthy aristocrat, so it was unrealistic to equip expensive plate armor.

Li Cha could only settle for the next best thing. He gathered half-baked blacksmiths and blacksmiths in the territory to set up the equipment workshop of Hunter's family, and finally worked out the cloth face armor and iron bone animal skin helmet, which is a comprehensive and cost-effective standard armor. .

Regardless of the curiosity of the people in the castle, Richard ordered the officers of the camp to put the soldiers of the system in a separate barracks and then took the crusaders to meet his father, Viscount Soter.

"Ron, when you see my father in a while, you can ignite your fighting spirit and show your strength that you can do it."

"Um"

This crusader named Ron is relatively silent, and he doesn't talk much but gives people a very down-to-earth feeling.

Soon, Richard took Ron to meet his father in the front hall of the castle.

At this moment, the Viscount Soter was still wearing his armor neatly. The plate armor and armguards had some repair marks, but they were well maintained and still had sufficient protection.

Viscount Salter had already noticed Ron on the side, and looked at Richard with a questioning look in his eyes.

"His name is Ron, and he will be my lieutenant general from now on."

"Where did he and the group of soldiers come from?"

Obviously, Viscount Sauter has also noticed this group of system soldiers.

Li Cha was a little hesitant when he heard the words, he had prepared a full stomach of perfunctory words but found it difficult to say them to his father Sauter.

These lies would be exposed easily, and he could fool the two uncles without burden, but he didn't want to lie to Viscount Sauter.

"Are they reliable?"

"reliable."

"That's good."

Sensing that Li Cha didn't want to answer his own question, Sauter took the initiative to skip the topic. He has absolute trust and incomparable love for Li Cha, a genius son, and believes that Li Cha has his own reasons for doing things.

"Father, our fight with Will's family should come to an end."

"Are you sure?"

Although Sauter didn't know much about territory management, he also knew that the Hunter family and the Will family were not in harmony and could even be said to be feuds.

The territories of the Hunter family and the Will family are close together, and the territory of the Hunter family is close to the Ironwood Forest and further north.

Before Richard's grandfather was awarded the title for his meritorious service, the Will family regarded the large piece of land next to the ironwood forest as their own. Cross-border reclamation and felling of ironwood for sale were routine operations of the Will family.

It's a pity that Li Cha's grandfather chose this unclaimed land as his fiefdom after he made great contributions on the battlefield.

The Will family did not dare to disobey the kingdom's order, but Liang Zi took over at that time.

The Will family has been passed down for a longer time. Although there is only one knight, Viscount Will, in the family, there are as many as ten quasi-knights. They are stronger than the Hunter family, and they have been making small moves.

In the past, the Hunter family always suffered some small losses, but in the past two years, Richard has managed the Hunter family better and better, constantly cracking down on the Will family's cross-border behavior.

In particular, Richard's reduction of land tax and standardized business management made a large number of Will's people flow to the Hunter's territory and caravans were more willing to go to Ironwood City for trade.

The Will family's territory is showing signs of decline, so the Will family has made more and more small moves in the past two years, and there have even been vicious incidents of seizing caravans and cross-border pursuit of deserters.

All in all, there is nothing wrong with the Will family itself. The prosperity of Ironwood City will definitely lead to the decline of the Will family, and further conflicts between the two sides will happen sooner or later.

"ron"

Facing Viscount Sauter's question, Richard did not answer directly, but gestured to Ron.

Ron nodded and stepped forward when he heard the words, a faint bluish-gray vindictiveness ignited.

Sauter looked at Ron in disbelief.

"Knight?" Sauter couldn't believe it.

"Yes." Li Cha gave an affirmative answer.

Sauter looked at Ron, and was about to say something again.

"Ron, you go back to the barracks first, someone will arrange a separate residence for you."

"Yes, my lord."

Ron stepped back to the door, and after a respectful salute, he walked towards the barracks where he came.

Hearing Ron's footsteps drifting away, Sauter lowered his voice and asked, "Is he reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable."

"call"

Viscount Sauter squeezed his hands again and again.

"Licha"

"Father"

"Do what you want."

"yes"

...

After Richard left, Viscount Soter pulled out the sword he had put away and waved it a few times as if venting his restlessness, before finally taking the sword back and regaining his composure.

"Perhaps our Hunter family will also shake the Northland."
